The sandbar was knee-deep in shallow areas. Since I participated in January and there was some wind, it was a bit chilly. I had heard that it could be cold on the boat and in the bus on the way there and back, so I brought a jacket and a towel, which made my luggage a bit heavy, but I was able to store it under the seats on the boat, so it wasn't a problem.
At the snorkeling point, a sea turtle came very close to me! That was the most exciting moment.
サンドバーは、浅いところでは膝丈位でした。1月参加というのと、風もあったのでやや肌寒かったです。
船上や行き帰りのバス内が寒いと聞いていたので、上着をもっていったりタオルを持っていったりと、荷物が多くなってしまいましたが、船上の椅子の下にしまうことができるので問題ありませんでした。
シュノーケルポイントでは、ウミガメがすぐ近くまで現れてくれました!それが一番の感動ポイントでした。

Everything was exactly as promised. I booked this for myself, 46 yr old mom and my family of 4, kids ages 13, 11 and 9 and Hubby. I chose this tour based on the pick-up time from our hotel and the hot lunch. Other tours had earlier times and offered cold cuts. We took the tour from the Sheraton Waikiki.
The boat and snorkeling equipment were in good condition - the location was amazing and just like the brochure.
The hamburgers were satisfying - we were happy to eat them.
We saw about a dozen Sea Turtles - this made my kids very happy.
The reef snorkle was great for me - but felt short.
Staff was excellent, very helpful and congenial - one even played a guitar during lunch - keeping the ambiance light and loose. They managed boat safety and maneuvering well.
You do not need to have athletic ability- just know how to breath and float and you can enjoy it. The seas were extremely mild and I did not get sick or feel nauseous as I am prone to.
The bus did break down headed up Likelike hwy. The tour operators had a replacement bus on site in about 15 minutes so the inconvenience was minimal. They didn't exactly keep us well appraised of the situation but it was managed well- enough.

The water was shallow, just above the ankles. It wasn't completely dry land, but the good weather and the feeling of standing in the middle of the sea was very strange and became a wonderful memory. The staff were also very friendly and took a lot of photos, which made me happy. I didn't participate in snorkeling since I can't swim, but they lent me a float, so I was able to enjoy myself! The boat's restroom was also clean, which was a plus. I would love to join again.
膝下、足首より上の浅さでした。
完全な陸ではなかったけれど、天気も良く海の真ん中で立っている感覚はとても不思議でよい思い出になりました。
スタッフの方々も、写真を進んでたくさんとってくれて嬉しかったです。
シュノーケリングは泳げないので参加しませんでしたが、浮き輪をかしてくれるので楽しめました!
船のトイレも綺麗だったのも◎
また参加したいです。

I participated in this tour because I wanted to visit the famous sandbar in Oahu. After walking on the sandbar, you can experience snorkeling in the deeper areas around it. There were sea turtles swimming close to the tour boat, and you can also see rays while snorkeling.
When I participated, the tide was somewhat high, so the water depth to the sandbar was about knee-deep, which diminished the experience of the sandbar. I definitely recommend checking the low tide times in advance and trying to participate during low tide if possible.
There are a few GoPro rentals available, so you can also enjoy capturing underwater footage.
オアフ島では有名なサンドバーに行ってみたいということで、このツアーに参加しました。
サンドバーを歩いた後、サンドバー周辺の深くなっているところでシュノーケリングを体験できます。ツアー船になついているウミガメが直ぐ近くを泳いでいたり、シュノーケリングではエイも見ることができます。
参加した時はやや満ち潮の時だったので、サンドバーまでの水深がひざ丈ほどあり、サンドバーの醍醐味は半減でした。是非、事前に干潮の時間を調べ、極力干潮時に参加することをおススメします。
数台ではありますが、Go Proのレンタルもできるので、水中での撮影も楽しめますよ。
Aloha! Thank you for joining Captain Bruce's Heavenly Ocean Tour. The sandbar changes its appearance depending on the day and time. It would be great if it were always perfect, but this is a craft of nature... and the weather also affects its appearance. The recommended GoPro is easy to use and can record videos as well. It comes with an SD card, and payment can be made on the day of the tour. Please consider renting it when you join us. Taka, please come visit us again!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーにご参加ありがとうございます。
サンドバーはその日その時間によってみせる表情が変わって来ます。いつもパーフェクトなら良いのですがこればかりは自然の織りなす技、、、そしてお天気によっても表情が変わって来ます。お勧め頂いたGoPro、簡単に使用出来ますし、動画もOK。SDカード込みとなっており、お支払いはツアー当日でOK。ぜひご参加の際はレンタルされてみてください。Taka様また遊びに来て下さいね。

Staying in Waikiki
There was a bus transfer service, which was very helpful. ⭐️
I was concerned about managing valuables during the reservation stage, but since there were only Japanese people, I felt at ease. ⭐️
It takes about 50 minutes from Waikiki to the port, which was just enough time for a little nap. ⭐️
The sandbar is close to the port, so there’s no worry about seasickness. ⭐️
We saw turtles, landed on the sandbar, and then went snorkeling, and returning by noon was fantastic. ⭐️
I was able to make good use of the afternoon as well, so overall, it was a very satisfying tour!
ワイキキ泊
バスで送迎があり、手厚い⭐️
予約の段階で貴重品の管理を気にしたが、日本人しかいなかったので、心配なかった⭐️
ワイキキから港まで50分で、少し寝るに丁度よく⭐️
港からサンドバーが近いので、船酔いの心配はない⭐️
カメを見て、サンドバーに降り立ち、その後シュノーケリングもして、帰着まで12時なのは最高⭐️
午後の時間も有効に使えたので、全体を通して大満足できるツアーでした!

It was really cold. I would think twice about doing this during this time of year. When we arrived at the sandbar and got into the water, I was shocked by the coldness and chill as the water reached up to my face (I'm 155 cm tall). The sandbar itself wasn't too cold since it was shallow, but you need to be careful when returning to the boat as you have to pass through deeper areas again. While wrapped in beach towels, everyone was shivering quite a bit. However, we got to see sea turtles, and their cuteness made me take some photos! This lifted my spirits a little! The hamburger for lunch was tasty, but it was just too cold and there were too many people, so I couldn't eat slowly.
Finally, for snorkeling. I didn't go into the water due to the cold, but a few people stayed on the boat like me. About half of the group mustered the courage to go into the water, while the rest eagerly jumped in. My friend bravely went in and said it was like a scene from an aquarium. The water was warm, but! The men coming out of the water were also shivering. They do provide warm drinks, but a single paper cup doesn't warm you up enough... For those participating during this time, you absolutely need two beach towels and a thick outer layer that you can wear over your swimsuit!
Lastly, be careful about where you sit on the boat. The bench in the middle front (where people stop when coming out of the water, at the top of the stairs) is also where the equipment is placed. During lunch, people line up in front of that bench. You put your bags under the bench, but the bottom is already wet, and it gets even wetter from above! Plus, more and more people keep coming out of the water, so you can't sit comfortably. I wish they had kept that area clear from the start. It was cold, my belongings got wet, I couldn't eat lunch slowly, and there was nowhere to sit. I would have appreciated a bit more consideration.
とにかく寒かったです。この時期の催行は、ちょっと考えもの。サンドバーにつき、海に入るのですが、船から降りた瞬間は、顔付近まで水があり(身長155センチ)、あまりの冷たさと寒さに驚きました。サンドバーは、浅くそれほど寒くはなかったですが、船に戻るときまた、深い部分を通るので注意が必要。バスタオルを巻きながら、皆さん結構ガタガタ震えてました。しかし、海ガメが見られ、余りの可愛さにシャッターを押しました!この時は、少しテンションが上がりました‼昼食のハンバーガーも美味しくはありましたが、とにかく寒いのと、人が多く、ゆっくり食べられなかったです。最後に、シュノーケル。私は、寒さのため海には入りませんでしたが、私のように船に残られるかた少し。勇気を出し海に行く方半分くらい。残りの方は、率先して行かれてました。私の友達は、勇気を出し行きました。水族館のような光景が広がっていたそうです。そして、海の中はあたたかいとのこと。しかし!海からあがる人、男性の方もガタガタ震えてました。温かい飲み物も提供されますが、とても紙コップ一杯ではあたたまらず……。この時期参加されるかた、バスタオル2枚、水着の上から羽織れる厚手の服が絶対必要です!
それと最後に、船に乗り座る位置に注意を。前の真ん中(海からあがる時、階段あがって正面にある)のベンチは、海からあがった人が一旦立ち止まる場でもあり、使った道具の置き場になります。ランチ時には、そのベンチ前に人が並び。ベンチの下に荷物を入れるのですが、底は既に濡れており、更に上からも濡れます!しかも、どんどん海からあがってくるので落ち着いて座れません。できれば、最初から空けるようにしておいてほしかったです。寒く、荷物も濡れ、昼食もゆっくり食べられず、居場所もなく。ちょっと配慮がほしかったです。

I think it's probably one of the nicer spots in the ocean around Oahu. There were quite a few corals, the sandy areas were clean, and there were plenty of turtles, so I had a decent time. The food was good, considering it's America. The staff were friendly, which was nice. The singing uncle also added to the good atmosphere.
Ultimately, it all depends on the weather. Unfortunately, it was cold, and it rained the night before, making the water murky. I would recommend visiting during a time other than winter.
おそらくオアフ島の中の海の中でではきれいな方だと思う。サンゴもまあまああったし砂地は綺麗だし亀もたくさんいてそれなりには楽しめた。食事もアメリカだと思えば美味しいほう。スタッフも親切でよかった。歌のおじさんも雰囲気が良かった。
結局全てはお天気次第。残念ながら寒かったし前夜に雨が降って海は濁っていた。せっかくなら冬以外の時期をおすすめします。

I participated in the sandbar this time!
To put it simply, I was very moved!
Experiencing nature up close is truly beautiful!
Standing in the middle of the ocean was a very precious experience!
Just being on the beach is beautiful, but with the clear sea and the sparkling blue sky, standing in the middle of the ocean made both the sky and sea feel vast, and the clouds felt really close!
There was also a Japanese guide, and some people were so good at swimming that it gave me a sense of security.
The bus guide on the way was very cheerful and made us laugh, which was entertaining.
The Japanese female guide on the boat also made us laugh and took commemorative photos for us.
The bus guide sang "Last Christmas" while playing the guitar on the neighboring boat, and listening to the music while eating freshly made hamburgers in the middle of the vast ocean was the best!!
If there are extras, you can also get double burgers or refills.
We even got to see a sea turtle swimming by, and my husband really enjoyed snorkeling!
It’s said that you can see an astonishing number of fish and coral! I was so moved!! (I couldn’t do it because I’m not good with deep water, but I still had fun! The sandbar is shallow, so I could go in!)
I’m saying that I definitely want to participate again when I go to Hawaii!
However, it gets cold on the boat after getting in the water, so a windbreaker would be good, and having a waterproof camera, even a simple one, might make it even more enjoyable!
If you’re hesitating, it might be a good idea to participate! There are things you won’t understand until you experience them.
今回サンドバーに参加させて頂きました!
結論から言うと、とても感動しました!
生で体感する大自然は本当に美しいんだなと思いました!
海のど真ん中に立つのはとても貴重な体験でした!
ただビーチに居るだけでも美しいのに、あの透明の海に、キラキラのブルーの空、海の真ん中に立つと空も海も広く、雲も本当に近く感じました!
そして、日本人のガイドさんも居て、とても同じ人間とは思えないほど泳ぎの上手い方もいて安心感もありました。
そして、行きのバスガイドさんもとても陽気で笑わせてくれて面白かったです。
船に乗ってからの日本人の女性ガイドさんも笑わせてくれ、記念写真も撮って頂きました。
バスガイドさんが、隣りの船でラストクリスマスなどを弾き語りで歌ってくれて、広い海の真ん中で焼き立てのハンバーガーを食べながら弾き語りを聞くのは最高でした!!
余っていれば、ダブルバーガーやおかわりをさせて貰える事も。
海亀のチラッと泳いでいる所も見れましたし、シュノーケリングも主人はとても楽しんでいました!
本当に驚く程お魚や珊瑚が見れるそうですよ!感動していました!!(私は深い所は苦手なので出来ませんでしたが、それでも楽しめました!サンドバーは浅いので入れました!)
またハワイに行ったら絶対参加したい!と言っている程です!
ただ海に入った後船の上が寒いのでウィンドブレーカーを、それと簡単な物でも防水カメラなどもあると、より楽しめるかもしれません!
迷っている方は参加してみると良いかもしれません!
体験してみないと分からない事はありますからね。

A traditional 10-day trip for two girls, meeting and parting at the same place. This time, we met in Honolulu and went to the Big Island, then returned to Honolulu.
"The Angel's Sea Sandbar!" The name itself is so feminine! We were able to see sea turtles popping their heads out and swimming several times from the boat. We walked on the transparent emerald green sandbar and snorkeled where the sea turned a dark green, swimming with the fish. The guide explained the safety instructions thoroughly, so we felt secure while snorkeling.
The guide and the captain were funny people, and we had a great time filled with laughter.
恒例の現地集合現地解散10日間の女子2人旅。今回はホノルルで待ち合わせをしてハワイ島へ行きその後ホノルルに。
「天使の海サンドバー!」ネーミングからして女子力高い!ウミガメが頭を出している所や泳いでいる所をボートから何回も見る事が出来ました。透き通るエメラルドグリーンのサンドバーを歩き、ダークグリーンに海の色が変わった所でのシュノーケリングで魚と一緒に泳いだり。ガイドさんが注意事項をしっかりと説明してくれたので安心してシュノーケリングできました。

Although it was drizzling and the water temperature was low, the staff were all cheerful and kind, which made me feel the essence of Hawaii! The sandbar had water up to my waist, but it wasn't a concern due to the seasonal conditions. In fact, I felt more connected to the strange sensation of being able to stand in such deep water. We also saw many sea turtles. The hamburger was simple but very delicious. One piece of advice: depending on the season, it can be cold after getting out of the water while still wet, so it's good to have a change of clothes and a bath towel. There are no changing rooms, so you change while wrapped in a bath towel. We brought a bath towel with a rubber loop at the top, which I think was a good choice. (Some people without a change of clothes looked like they were shivering and feeling unwell.) I would love to participate again on a sunny day!
小雨が舞い、水温も低くあまり良いコンディションではありませんでしたが、スタッフさんは皆元気よく優しくて、ハワイらしさを感じられました!サンドバーも、腰までつかる水位でしたが、季節の問題なので気にならず。むしろ、こんなに沖で、足がつく不思議な感覚をより実感できた気がします。ウミガメさんもたくさん見れました。ハンバーガーも、シンプルでとても美味しかったです。アドバイスがあるとすれば、季節によっては海から上がって濡れたままだと寒いので、着替えとバスタオルがあると良いです。更衣室はないので、バスタオルを巻いて着替える感じです。私たちは、上部がゴムで輪っかになったバスタオルを持参しました。正解だったと思います。(着替えがない方の中には震えて具合が悪そうな方もいました)
また晴天の際に参加したいです!

I participated because the low tide at the sandbar matched my travel schedule. The water depth was about calf-deep, which I thought was great. After walking on the sandbar and taking photos, those who wanted to went snorkeling. Unlike snorkeling in areas close to the shore, it was a bit of a unique experience.

I participated with my mother, who is in her 60s and cannot swim. She was worried about whether it would be okay since she can't swim, but as long as you don't snorkel, it's not a problem at all. You can wait on the boat or play in shallow areas. However, when getting off the boat, it is quite deep, so I think it might be surprising at first. After that, it's shallow, so as long as you pay attention when getting off, I don't think there will be any issues.
Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy and rainy, which was disappointing, but the cruise staff were very nice. When you see a turtle, they will point out the direction, saying something like "Turtle at 3 o'clock!" I would like to try again on a sunny day.
泳げない60代の母親と2人で参加しました。泳げないので大丈夫か母親が心配していましたが、シュノーケルをしなければ、全然問題ないです。船で待つこともできますし、浅いところで遊ぶこともできます。ただ、船から降りるときはとても深いので、最初びっくりすると思います。その先は浅いので、降りるときだけ注意していれば問題ないと思います。
お天気があいにく曇りと雨で残念でしたが、クルーズのスタッフの方もとてもいいかたでした。亀が見えると、かめー3時とか亀がいる方向を教えてくれますよ♪お天気がいいときに再チャレンジしたいです。

Our accommodation was at Hilton Hawaiian Village, but the pickup was at Ilikai Hotel (meeting at 9 AM). I was surprised to find that the pickup vehicle was a large bus instead of a van. I understood why the meeting point was in front of Ilikai Hotel, as it must be difficult to enter the narrow pickup area at Hilton. After that, we stopped at several hotels, and by the time we headed to the port, the bus was almost full. We arrived at the port in about an hour. After that, we took a boat to the sandbar. Since it wasn't low tide, even in shallow areas, the water depth was up to my knees, but the scenery was beautiful. We then had lunch with hamburgers topped with grilled patties on the boat, moved to a spot where sea turtles frequently appear for turtle watching from the boat, and then went to a large coral reef for snorkeling. Here, we were able to see many fish and turtles. However, I think the coral and sea in Ishigaki Island, where I go diving every year, might be prettier (though it probably depends on the day's conditions). After returning to the port, we switched to a bus and went back to the hotel (we returned to the hotel around 3 PM). When we got off the boat, the Japanese guide asked for a tip, which made me wonder if it wasn't included in the tour fee. There are tours on Veltra that include tips, so it might be a good idea for everyone to check.
宿泊先がヒルトンハワイアンビレッジでしたが、ピックアップはイリカイホテルでした。(9時に集合)迎えの車をワゴン車だと思っていたら、大型バスでびっくり。ヒルトンの狭い送迎場所に入りにくいのだろうなと、集合場所がイリカイホテル前だったことを納得しました。その後、数ヵ所のホテルに寄り、港に向かう時にはバスがほぼ満席になっていました。港には1時間程度で到着。その後、船でサンドバーへ。サンドバーは、干潮でなかったため、膝程度まで浅いところでも水深がありましたが、きれいな景色が広がっていました。その後、船上で焼き上げたパテをのせたハンバーガーの昼食、ウミガメがよく出没するポイントに移動して船上からのウミガメ見学、大きなサンゴ礁に移動してシュノーケルを行いました。ここでは、たくさんの魚や亀を見ることができました。ただ、毎年ダイビングに行く石垣島のほうが珊瑚や海はきれいかな。(その日のコンディションにもよるのでしょうが)その後、港にもどり、バスに乗り換え、ホテルに戻りました。(ホテルに戻ったのが15時くらい)船を降りるときに、日本人のガイドにチップを求められた時は、ツアー料金に含まれていないの?と疑問が沸いて来ましたので、同じveltraのツアーでチップ込のツアーもあったりしますので、皆さん確認はされたほうがいいかもしれません。

I made a reservation for a "Cruise & Sea" experience to help my husband, who has never been to Hawaii, fall in love with it. The weather was quite changeable, but during lunch and the timing at the sandbar, it cleared up beautifully, and it felt wonderful. We even saw sea turtles!
I didn't go snorkeling; instead, I relaxed on the boat, enjoying the scenery and reading, which was also nice. My husband was enjoying the beautiful views on the Angel's Sea Cruise as well!
When we went from the boat to the sandbar, we had to swim a little in the water, and I thought it would have been better if we could have just stepped onto the sand directly. (I guess it might not be possible because it's a large boat.)
ハワイは行ったことがないという主人に、ハワイを大好きになってもらいたくて、「クルーズ・海」で、ハワイを堪能してもらいたくて、予約しました。
天候はコロコロと変動がありましたが、ランチ、サンドバーのタイミングには、ぱーっと晴れて、とても気持ちが良かったです。ウミガメも見れました!
私は、シュノーケリングはせずに、船の上でのんびり景色をみたり、読書をしたりして、過ごしましたが、それもまた良かったです。
主人も、きれいだねと、天使の海クルーズを堪能していました!
船からサンドバーに行く時に、海の中を少し泳いでいかないといけなかっったので、そのまま砂の上に降りれたらもっとよかったなぁって思います。(大きな船なので無理なのかと思いますが。)

Exploring the sandbar was easy when the seabed was sandy, but when we got closer to the rocky areas, it was painful on the soles of our feet, and everyone let out little screams. However, wandering underwater was fun. I can't swim at all, and while I didn't snorkel, the participants who dove were all excited about the beautiful sea. It's a shame I couldn't see it! But for those who couldn't dive (like me and a grandmother with small children), we were able to take a sightseeing tour around the area on a motorboat. The crew only spoke English, but chatting with them was enjoyable. The Japanese-speaking guide was also interesting, and the meal exceeded my expectations. Those who dove seemed to get hungry, as they even went back for seconds. Next time, I hope to be able to swim a bit better and challenge myself to try snorkeling again.
サンドバーの散策は砂場状の海底の時は未だ歩きやすいのですが、岩に近い海底面の時は足裏が痛くて皆んなチョット悲鳴をあげたり、海中の散策が面白かったです。全く泳げないのですが、シュノーケリングの時はしませんでしたが、潜った参加者の方々は皆さん楽しいんで綺麗な海の様子に興奮気味でした。見れなくて残念!でも、潜れない人(私と小さいお子様連れのおばあさん)には、モータボートで周りを観光させてくださいました。英語しか喋れないクルーでしたが、お喋りがたのしかったです。日本語でのガイドさんんもおもしろく、食事も結構期待以上の内容でした。潜った人達はやはりお腹が空くのかお代わりまでしていましたよ。次回は少し泳げるようになって、シュノーケリングにチャレンジできるよう、又利用しようと思います。
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea tour. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed both the tour and the meal. The underwater scenery is truly beautiful! I hope you can challenge yourself to try snorkeling next time. We look forward to seeing you again.

This year, the rainy season started early, so the water level at the sandbar was higher, which was a bit disappointing! We were able to see sea turtles, but it really depended on the weather. Since the staff member was Japanese, I felt at ease and was able to participate in the tour.
今年は、雨季が早かったため、サンドバーの海水の高さも高く少し残念でした‼︎
海亀も観れましたが、天気次第かなって感じでしたo(TωT)o
スタッフのお姉さんが日本人だったので、安心して、ツアーには参加できました☆

I'm glad the guide was energetic. The sandwich didn't look appetizing, but it was delicious. I was lucky to see sea turtles swimming. It was raining when we departed, but it was sunny when we arrived. I was lucky.
ガイドが元気で良かった。サンドイッチは、見た目は美味しそうに見えなかったが、美味しかった。海亀が泳いでいるのが、見えた。運が良い。出発する時は、☔️だったが、着いた時は、☀️ていた。運が良い。

I participated for the first time at the strong recommendation of a junior colleague. I was lucky with the weather, but the water temperature was surprisingly low, not quite what you would expect from a southern island's sea. The water level at the sandbar was about knee-deep, so it didn't feel like a floating island. My wife, who participated last year, mentioned that the water level was up to her waist, so perhaps this year was still better.
For lunch, it wasn't the BBQ I had imagined; instead, they served hamburgers made from grilled patties over charcoal. It was delicious.
After playing at the sandbar for about an hour, we moved to a snorkeling spot while viewing sea turtles from the boat. We snorkeled for about an hour, but there weren't many fish. I had a decent time, but considering the cost, I feel that participating once is probably enough.
後輩の強い勧めで初めて参加しました。天候には恵まれラッキーでしたが、水温は意外と低く南の島の海といった感じではなかったです。サンドバーの水位は膝くらいまであり浮島といった感じではありませんでした。一緒に参加した妻が去年参加した時には腰くらいまで水位があったそうなので、まだ良い方なのかも。
ランチはBBQと聞いて想像するBBQではなく、ハンバーグを炭火で焼いてハンバーガーとして提供されました。味は美味しかったです。
サンドバーで1時間くらい遊んだあと,ウミガメがいるスポットを船上から眺めながらスノーケリングスポットへ移動し、1時間くらいスノーケリングをしましたが、魚はあまりいなかったです。それなりに楽しめましたが,料金に対しての満足度からすると1度参加すれば十分かなといった印象です。

It was amazing. Absolutely the best! The Japanese guide and the local people were very kind, the lunch was incredibly delicious, and we got to spend a lot of time in the sea. It was the best tour. The weather was a bit cloudy, but the content of the tour was very good. It was so good that I want to go many times. I highly recommend it!!! Sunscreen is a must!!!
最高でした。とにかく最高~!
日本人のガイドさんと現地の方々は非常に親切だし、ランチもめちゃくちゃ美味しいし、たくさん海に入れるし、最高のツアーでした。
雲がちょっと多いようなお天気でしたが、ツアーの内容はとても良かったです。
何度も行ってしまいたい、と思うほど良かったです。
すごくオススメです!!!
日焼け止めは必須です!!!

The sandbar was painful in some spots depending on where you stepped, but snorkeling was fun with lots of fish. The hamburger was also delicious. I saw many sea turtles too.

I ended up going on a rainy day. Since it was high tide, I only got to see a slightly beautiful sea. While high tide can't be helped, I honestly wish they would cancel on rainy days. (If possible, I think they should offer discounts on days with high tide since they can know in advance.) It was just the sea, cold, the snorkeling was murky, and once it starts, you're stuck for about six hours. The staff were very nice, so I gave it two stars.
雨の日に当たってしまいました。且つ満ち潮だったためただの少し綺麗な海を見れただけといった感じでした。
満ち潮はしょうがないにしても、正直雨の日は中止にしてほしいです。(できれば満ち潮の日も、あらかじめわかるのだから割引してもいいと思う)
ただの海、寒い、シュノーケリングは濁ってる、決行されると6時間程度は拘束される。
スタッフの人たちはとても感じの良い人達だったので星2つにしました。

I finally went on a long-awaited 5-night, 7-day trip to Hawaii with my friends! I participated in this tour after making a reservation from Japan. Our high-energy tour guide picked us up at the hotel, and we set off for our destination! Since it was early in the morning, everyone on the bus looked sleepy, and many were dozing off, but the tour guide's enthusiastic chatter lifted our spirits. I was a bit worried about the weather since it was raining and I thought we might not see any beautiful scenery.
Once we arrived, we received safety instructions and a tour briefing before setting off on the boat. Suddenly, the sun came out, and the clarity of the ocean deepened! The views of the mountains and the sea were truly breathtaking. When we reached our destination, the boat stopped, and we had some free time. We took photos, went snorkeling, and had a lot of fun playing beach volleyball with other participants and the instructor. There were many people from both Japan and overseas, making it a very enjoyable time.
Afterward, we returned to the boat for lunch! We could customize our hamburgers with our favorite toppings, and the burgers we ate on the boat were delicious. After finishing our meal, we went for sea turtle watching! We moved to a spot with clear waters and were able to see them beautifully. We encountered a very friendly sea turtle that came close to the boat, poking its head out, and it was so cute!
Next, we headed to the snorkeling point. Snorkeling was different from what I imagined; while the ocean was beautiful, the fish were quite large. It wasn't like seeing the small fish like Nemo in Okinawa; instead, there were big fish swimming around. I participated for the whole day, and it was more fun than I expected, truly creating wonderful memories of Hawaii. Thank you!
友達と念願の5泊7日のハワイ旅行へ!こちらのモニターは日本から予約を済まし参加しました。行きはハイテンションなツアーガイドさんが宿泊ホテルまでお迎えに来てくれ、現地へ出発!バス内は朝が早かったこともあり皆さん眠そうで、眠っている人も多い中ツアーガイドさんのハイテンションの突っ走りトークに楽しい気持ちになりました(^^;;行きは天候が悪く雨が降っていたりで、綺麗な景色が見れないのではないかと不安になりました。現地に付き、注意事項、ツアー説明を受け船で出発。するとみるみらうちに日差しが出てきて透明度が深まる海へ!ほんとに山と海の絶景でした。目的地に着くと船を止め自由タイムへ。写真を撮ったりシュノーケルをしたり…中でも他の参加者の方とインストラクターの方でしたビーチバレーがとても楽しかったです♡海外の方もいれば日本の方もたくさんいて、とても楽しい時間でした(^3^*)/その後は船にもどり昼食へ!ハンバーガーに自分で好きなトッピングができ、船で食べるバーガーはとても美味しかったです♡食べ終わったあとはウミガメウオッチングへ!また透明度の高い場所へ移動し見事に見れました♡サービス精神の高いウミガメに出会い、船の近くに寄ってきては頭をひょこんとだしたりと、とても可愛かったです(﹡ˆoˆ﹡)その後はシュノーケルポイントへ。シュノーケルは想像と違い、海は綺麗なのですが、魚がとりあえずデカイ(^^;;沖縄などでみれるニモのような魚が見れるわけではなく、大きな魚がウジャウジャいてるというような感じでした(^^;;一日参加させてもらいましたが、想像以上の楽しさで本当にハワイでの素敵な思い出になりましたありがとうございました

The weather was bad and cold. I didn't quite understand the appeal of the sandbar... However, the guide was very interesting and kindly taught us various things about Hawaii and offered warm tea. We also got to see sea turtles! ^_^
天気が悪く寒かったです。サンドバーの良さがイマイチ分からず、、、
ただガイドの方はとても面白くて、ハワイのイロイロな事を教えてくれたり暖かいお茶などを出してくれたり優しかった^_^ウミガメも見れました^_^

Aloha! Thank you for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. The sandbar is a natural phenomenon, so it varies in appearance depending on the day and time. It seems that the sand (beach) didn't fully show that day, but I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it. Thank you for your compliments about the restroom.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーにご参加頂きましてありがとうございました。
サンドバーは自然の織りなす現象ですので、その日その時間によって様々な表情となります。この日は完全には顔(=砂浜)は出さなかったようですが楽しんで頂けたようで安心しました。トイレ褒めて頂いてありがとうございます
