After being picked up at the hotel in Waikiki, we traveled for about an hour in the van to the North Shore. If you're worried about motion sickness, I recommend taking some medication beforehand.
Once we arrived, we were guided to the sandbar by a humorous guide and crew members.
If you wish to go snorkeling, you'll receive a brief lesson and wear a life jacket before walking a few meters from the sandbar and swimming out into the ocean.
It was enjoyable to see sparkling fish and turtles swimming leisurely around the sandbar. During the boat ride to and from the location, we learned about the history of the sandbar and Hawaii, which was very educational.
If I have the chance to travel to Hawaii again, I would love to participate in this activity once more.
ワイキキのホテルでピックアップしてもらったあとにノースショアまで行くのでおおよそ1時間くらいはバンに揺られます。
心配な方は酔い止めを飲んでおくのが良いかと思います。
現地に着いてからはユーモラスなガイドとクルーの方にサンドバーを案内してもらえます。
シュノーケリングを希望する場合は簡単なレッスンを受けて救命胴衣を着用した上でサンドバーから数m歩いて沖を泳ぎます。
キラキラとした魚やサンドバーを悠々と泳ぐ亀を見ることが出来て楽しかったです。
行き帰りの船上ではサンドバーが産まれた経緯やハワイの歴史を説明して貰え、勉強になりました。
次にハワイに旅行することがあってもまた、参加させて貰いたいなと思います。

We participated as a couple. Since it was an afternoon tour, the water level seemed a bit high, reaching about waist height. It was sunny and beautiful, but... We spotted turtles several times as they were being fed. The lunch was a buffet style and delicious.
夫婦で参加しました。午後のツアーだったので、水位は少し高かったみたいで、腰くらいありました。晴れててキレイではありましたが。。亀は餌付けされているので、何度も目撃ました。お昼ご飯は、バイキング形式で美味しかったです。

This is Hawaii time! My first impression is that I will come back! This is my fifth year in Hawaii. This time, I'm staying for three weeks, so I'm challenging myself to snorkeling, something I've never done before. My wife can't swim at all, so she has been practicing at a nearby pool for a year, but in reality, she hasn't been able to go much and still can't breathe properly while swimming. The day before the tour, we practiced just the arm movements of the breaststroke at the hotel pool (saltwater pool). Is this level okay??? Both my wife and I are 70 years old. The large bus at Sheraton Aloha Landing was full, which shows its popularity. The rain stopped, and the cloudy sky was a relief. Water volleyball was more difficult and fun than I expected. We watched turtles, ate delicious BBQ hamburgers, and went snorkeling for the first time. My wife held onto me while colorful fish swam within reach. We quickly got used to snorkeling, and it was a blissful time.
これぞハワイの時間!また来るぞ!と言うのが第1の感想。ハワイ5年目。今回は3週間の長期滞在なので、これまで一度も無かった、シュノーケリングにチャレンジ。家内は全く泳げないので、1年前から近くのプールで練習していたが、現実にはなかなか行けず、まだ息継ぎができない。今回のツアーの前日ホテルのプール(海水プール)で、平泳ぎの腕の動きだけ練習。こんなレベルで大丈夫???家内も私も70歳。シェラトンアロハランディングで大型バスが満杯。人気の程が伺える。雨もあがって曇り空が助かる。水上バレーも思った以上に難しく、面白い。カメを眺め、美味しいBBGハンバーガーを食べて、初シュノーケリング。家内は私につかまりながら。色とりどりの魚が手が届くところで泳いでいる。すぐにシュノーケリングにも慣れ、至福の時間。

Travel: It takes about 30 minutes by bus from the hotel in Waikiki. Since it can be a bit chilly, it's a good idea to bring a jacket. If you are prone to seasickness, it's advisable to take motion sickness medication.
After that, we will board the boat, but Japanese people and Americans, along with others from English-speaking countries, will be on a different boat. It's reassuring that explanations will be provided in Japanese. Soft drinks are free, and alcohol will be paid for collectively after returning from the sandbar.
Impressions: The sandbar is for practicing snorkeling and taking a walk.
We moved to the snorkeling point, and there were life jackets available, so even as a first-time snorkeler, I had a great time. The number of fish when we got into the water was incredible! 😊
移動他:ワイキキのホテルからバスで30分ほど移動します。少し寒いので上着はあった方が良いですね。船に酔いやすい方は酔い止めは飲んだ方が良いです。
その後、乗船しますが日本人とアメリカ人他英語圏の方々と別の船に乗ります。日本語で説明いただけるので安心です。ソフトドリンクは無料で、アルコールはサンドバー帰りでまとめて払います。
感想:サンドバーは、シュノーケリング練習と散歩です。
移動して、シュノーケリングポイントに向かいますが、救命胴衣もあり、シュノーケル初めてでもとても楽しめました。海に降りた時の魚の数が半端なかったです(^^)

I participated on the 16th. Thank you to the instructor, Chieko, who searched for us when we made a mistake about the meeting place. I’m really sorry for the trouble. I was also happy that you pulled my hand when I got tired and swam with me in the coral sea until the very end. Thanks to you, I was able to swim with the fish for a full hour underwater. You also took photos of us snorkeling in the beautiful Hanauma Bay, which was a great help since we didn’t have to carry a camera. There were so many beautiful fish of various kinds. They came close and seemed very accustomed to people. I wished I could have swum a little longer. When we got back to the beach, you had prepared cold water and snacks, which was a wonderful break and very delicious. Thank you very much. I would like to go again, so I hope to see you then.

I participated with two younger colleagues from my company.
When we boarded the boat, the rain had eased and we were able to enjoy the sandbar and snorkeling without any stress, which was great.
I was worried about my colleagues who couldn't get into the water or felt anxious about snorkeling, but thanks to the staff's consideration, they were transported to the sandbar on a small boat and were taken around to look for turtles, so it seems they really enjoyed the tour.
A special thanks to Jamie for the fun conversations, and to Kaz, who took a lot of photos as a sort of assistant, and to Ebizou from Hawaii, who guided us around on the boat.
The staff and the tour deserve five stars, but since the weather and the tide conditions weren't perfect, I deducted one star... Next time, I hope to aim for a tour that scores 120 points. Thank you for the truly wonderful memories.

Swimming with wild dolphins was AMAZING! We struggled to find spinner dolphins early May 15, but Danielle and the entire crew were patient and determined to spot other types of dolphins. We found spotted dolphins, in deeper waters, which are faster but amazing to see in the wild. The crew including Yogi, Tyler, and a couple others helped our ship of 25 or so passengers stay safe and calm in the water knowing exactly what to do as the dolphins and wild life swam all around us. Making sure the swimmers and dolphins stayed safe was at the forefront of our dive. We relocated to another swim spot to see fish and turtles in shallow waters and we got to play on the slide and use paddle boards the crew provided us with. Jade, the photographer/ videographer, was amazing in capturing our time on the boat and in the water. This crew was fantastic and my fiancé and I would recommend this excursion 10/10 as a MUST DO. The feeling iI got seeing this animals in their natural environment, so willing to let us be close to them , is something I will never forget. We purchase the pictures from Dolphins and You and I can’t wait to get home to upload them!

First time in Hawaii and snorkeling for me; overall, it was a fun experience! Saw lots of colorful fishes and coral. The guide also made it easy to understand and use the equipment - and soon, everyone was snorkeling in no time. The group is small so you don't have to worry about there being too large of a crowd to be able to follow the guide. Great value and experience - highly recommended for anyone who is completely new to snorkeling and Hanauma Bay!

First, we went to the sandbar where we had about an hour of free time, but unfortunately, it was raining and cold, so we couldn't go into the sea. I recommend bringing a jacket just in case.
After that, we moved on to snorkeling for those who wanted to participate, and this is something you should definitely experience. You can see fish and, if you're lucky, get a close look at sea turtles, which is the highlight of this tour. The guide was friendly and kept the atmosphere lively, and we even saw seals while moving on the boat. It was a lot of fun.
まずサンドバーに行きそこで1時間ほど自由時間がありましたがあいにく雨が降っており寒くて海に入っていることが出来ませんでした。念の為上着を持って行くといいと思います。
その後移動して希望者のみシュノーケリングをしますがこちらは体験した方がいいです。魚や運が良ければ間近でウミガメを見る事ができこのツアーの目玉です。ガイドの方も気さくで盛り上げてくれますしボートで移動中にアザラシを見ることができました。とても楽しかったです。

It seems like there are unusual weather conditions everywhere, and it was cold even in May. It's usually much hotter.
So, when entering the sea, it was fine to just wear a swimsuit and then dry off and put on a cover-up when getting back on the boat.
I was grateful to have a warm drink after snorkeling; it was a nice way to relax.

I participated in this tour for the first time!
This is a tour that even those who are not good at snorkeling can join with peace of mind. You can relax on the boat or rent kayaks and floaties in the shallow waters, which is reassuring.
Additionally, the crew members provided clear and thorough explanations, and I appreciated how attentive they were to the participants, more than I had expected.
If you suddenly feel like trying snorkeling during the tour, you can receive a snorkeling lecture and join in with confidence.
I recommend bringing marine shoes that can be worn in the water when participating.
I definitely think it was a great choice to go with Captain Bruce's tour over others.

I participated in the tour on the morning of May 10th. I was initially anxious as I was with my 65-year-old mother, but Chieko took great care of us, which was very helpful. We saw many types of fish underwater and even encountered a Hawaiian monk seal resting on the beach! It was an incredibly fulfilling experience. There were also very friendly cats and mongooses on the beach. The mongooses seemed to be a nuisance, rummaging through trash and stealing food, but they are a rare sight for Japanese people, so it was fun to see them. It seems like it became a good memory for my mother as well, and I am grateful for that.
As for advice for those who will participate, I haven't been there in the midsummer, so I can't say, but in spring and autumn, the sea is still cold. I saw the locals swimming comfortably in swimsuits, but we couldn't enjoy it the same way. Perhaps our tolerance to cold is different. It's a shame not to enjoy the beautiful sea because of the cold. I strongly recommend renting a wetsuit. The guide will choose one that fits you. From my previous experience, I knew it would be cold, so I brought my own short wetsuit, but I later thought I should have rented a full suit. Even the short wetsuit took up a lot of space in my suitcase, and my legs weren't protected, which is important since you swim over shallow areas with coral to avoid injuries.
You can leave your valuables and luggage behind, and I recommend not taking anything into the water. If you do bring something, a sturdy underwater camera would be ideal. I brought my waterproof smartphone in the zippered pocket of my swimsuit, but after about four years of use, it short-circuited and became unusable. After that, I had to go sightseeing without my smartphone. Luckily, my mother had hers, but I ended up changing my phone model when I returned home.
The guide will upload the photos they took to Facebook later. You can download them freely, and it's free!
I hope this information is helpful, and I highly recommend it! Mahalo!
5月10日の午前中のツアーに参加させて頂きました。
65歳の母親と一緒で最初は不安もありましたが、Chiekoさんが面倒を見てくれたので、とても助かりました。
水中ではたくさんの種類の魚が見れ、砂浜で寝ているハワイアンシーモンクにも出会えました!
非常に充実した体験でした。
浜にはとても人懐こいネコと、マングースなんかもいました。
マングースはそこではごみ箱を漁ったり食物をかっぱらっていく害獣のような存在のようですが、日本人にとっては珍しい生き物で、見れて楽しかったです。
母親にとっても良い思い出になったようで、感謝しています。
これから参加する人へのアドバイスですが、
真夏は来た事がないのでわかりませんが、春秋はまだ海が冷たいです。
向こうの皆さんは平気で水着で泳いでいるのを見ますが、我々は彼らと同じ調子では楽しめません。寒さに対する耐性が違うのでしょうか。
寒さでせっかくの海が楽しめないのはもったいないです。
ウェットスーツのレンタルを強く推奨します。ガイドさんがその人に合った物を選んでくれます。
自分は以前の体験から寒い事を知り、タッパーを自前で用意して行きましたが、フルスーツをレンタルすれば良かったと後から思いました。
上だけのタッパーですらスーツケースに入れると嵩張りましたし、足が保護されないので。浅い場所でサンゴの上を泳ぐので怪我防止にもなります。
貴重品や荷物は預けられます、海の中には何も持って行かない事をお勧めします。持っていくなら丈夫な水中カメラ位でしょうか、自分は防水仕様のスマホを水着のチャック付きポケットに入れて持ち込みましたが、4年程使っており経年劣化していたのか、見事にショートしお釈迦になりました。その後はスマホなしの不便な観光を強いられました。母のスマホがあったのでまだ良かったですが、帰国後はその日に機種変更です。
写真はガイドさんが撮った物を後日フェイスブックにアップしてくれます。
自由にダウンロードできます、なんと無料ですよ!
参考にして頂ければ幸いです、お勧めします!マハロ!

I'm glad I was able to join this tour.
It became my best memory from this trip.
I think visiting the sandbar is a must when coming to Hawaii.
Snorkeling in the water there was so much fun.
Above all, our guide was kind and attentive.
I would love to participate again.
初めてのハワイ
このツアーに参加出来て良かったです。
この旅行での一番の思い出になりました
ハワイに来たらサンドバーは絶対に外せないと思います
海の中の浜そこでの、シュノーケルとても楽しかったです
何よりも親切丁寧なガイドさん
またもう一度参加したいと思っています

I researched online before going, but I was worried about how the tide and weather would affect things. However, it was a perfect 100-point view. The staff were all really kind, and the food was delicious, especially the meatballs. The sunlight was truly intense, so I wish I had brought a rash guard.
ネットで調べて行きましたが潮位や天候が関係してるのでどうなるか心配でしたが100点満点の絶景でした。スタッフの方もみんなホントに親切です。料理も美味しくてミートボールの味が特に良かったです。
日差しが本当に強烈なのでラッシュガードを持っていけばと思いました。
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the magnificent nature and scenery of the sandbar. The sun can be really strong during this time, and it can tan you even if you don't want it to, right? Thank you for the advice about rash guards. We also sell Captain Bruce's original rash guards on board, so if you forget to bring one next time, please check those out! We all look forward to welcoming you again.

I, in my 50s, was able to enjoy it as well. I'm grateful to the staff. The weather was nice, and the sandbar was beautiful. During snorkeling, there were times when participants were too close together, and I felt that I would have liked to enjoy it a bit more leisurely.
50歳代の私でも楽しめました。スタッフの方たちに感謝です。
天気も良くサンドバーも見れきれいでした。シュノーケリングが参加者同士がかたまりすぎて手や足が当たることがありもう少しゆったりと楽しみたかったなと感じました。

I'm going to the sandbar for the first time!
A wide shallow area with a sparkling white coral carpet!
Imagining moments like that, we set sail!
At first, the weather seemed to be nice...
Before I knew it, the weather turned bad from the mountains.
In no time, the sky above the sandbar was covered with dark clouds,
and without any sunlight, we landed on the sandbar anyway!
The water is so cold~~><
It started to rain, and everyone around was hardly enjoying the sandbar,
just waiting inside the boat@@
I can't complain about the weather!
I accepted that we were just unlucky this time.
If there's a chance next time, I want to see a beautiful sandbar!
初めてサンドバーに行く!
広い浅瀬に、白く光るサンゴのじゅうたん!
そんな中で、ハイチーズ!
なんてことをイメージしながらいざ出港!
最初こそ、なんとか天気は良さそうだったのに・・・・
気づけば、あれよあれよと山の方から天気は崩れ。
あっという間に、サンドバー上空も真っ黒な雲に覆われて
日差しもないまま、とりあえずサンドバーに上陸!
水冷たい~~~~><
雨も降ってきたし、周りのみんなもサンドバーを楽しむどころか
船内でほぼ待機状態@@
天気に関しては誰にも文句は言えません!
今回は運が悪かったと、潔く諦めました。
次回チャンスがあれば、きれいなサンドバーを拝みたいです!

I can't say enough about this trip.
It was absolutely amazing, the crew went out of their way to make everyone happy. They even brought me a beer while I was standing on the sandbar, imagine that...
Take this trip, it is worth every dollar!!!

The pick-up and drop-off service to the hotel was efficient, and the staff's bright smiles enhanced the tour. If you check the tide and the weather is favorable, it will definitely be an unforgettable experience. The snorkeling experience was also fun, as I got to see various fish swimming around the coral reefs! The lunch was delicious too. I highly recommend it!
ホテル迄の送り迎えも手際良く、スタッフの明るい笑顔がツアーを盛り上げます。
潮位を調べ、お天気に恵まれれば、間違いなく最高の思い出になります。
スノーケリング体験も、サンゴ礁を泳ぐ色々な魚達に会えて楽しかった!
ランチも美味しかった〜
おススメです!

The cruise was filled with a bright and fun atmosphere, typical of Hawaii, and as we progressed, we received explanations about filming locations from Jurassic Park. I was thrilled to see sea turtles multiple times.
I had never tried snorkeling before and was quite unsure, but I decided to give it a go. The staff kindly checked my gear and equipment, which allowed me to experience it without any anxiety. The underwater world was so enjoyable that I feel like I might become hooked on snorkeling.
It would have been difficult to get there on my own, so using the tour was definitely the right choice.
明るく楽しいガイドさんでハワイらしい雰囲気満点のクルーズ、途中ジュラシックパークの撮影場所の説明なども聞きながら進んでいくと、ウミガメもしっかり何度も現れてくれて感激しました。
シュノーケリングは全くの初めてでかなり自信がなかったのですが、思い切ってチャレンジ。親切に着用の状態や装備の点検をしてくれたので、不安なく体験することができました。水中の世界が楽し過ぎて、これからシュノーケリングにはまりそう。
自力で行くのは大変な場所なので、ツアー利用して正解でした。
