サンドバー キャプテンブルース 天国の海®︎シュノーケリングクルーズ SUPや浮き輪などレンタルアイテムも!<午前・午後/日本語クルー>

There were sea turtles! ウミガメ居た!

Reviewed by: Dice

We participated as a couple. Half of the other participants were Japanese, and the rest were from China and South Korea. It was reassuring for my wife that announcements were made in Japanese after English. The tour was managed by the captain, a young man in charge on-site, and three other young staff members. The boat was made up of two vessels in blue and green, and we alternated between snorkeling and free time at the sandbar. The itinerary included pickup in Honolulu, boarding at the Kaneohe harbor, viewing heart-shaped coral, arriving at the sandbar, playing with SAP and floaties, and then moving to deeper waters while snorkeling to look for turtles. At the sandbar during my visit in mid-September, the water was about waist-deep, which was a bit different from what I expected, but we had fun. Even in mid-September, when we got out of the water and the sun went down, the women seemed a bit cold. I felt it would have been nice to have a pile hoodie in addition to a bath towel. No one was wearing wetsuits; we were moving as a group while looking for sea turtles while snorkeling, but on that day, we didn't encounter many turtles. I observed a turtle resting among the corals while swimming, and when I patiently searched alone, I was fortunate to see a turtle swim out from the corals to breathe. Although I was close to the surface, I was satisfied to swim alongside it. It might be better not to move in such a large group. Other than the turtles, we didn't see many brightly colored tropical fish. I wondered if the shuttle bus driver was affiliated with the food truck or perhaps related to the family, as we stopped by a malasada food truck on the way back and everyone bought the recommended malasadas, which were delicious. The shuttle car was cold due to the air conditioning, so it was fine on the way there before entering the water, but it might be good to have a change of dry clothes for the return trip. Alternatively, you could let the driver know you were cold. I took photos and videos with my iPhone in a waterproof case, but the compatibility wasn't great, as the case and strap reflected in the camera lens, and I couldn't use the touch screen underwater, which made handling difficult. I felt a GoPro would be better. It seemed there was no service for taking photos (and selling SD cards), so it would have been better to prepare a way to easily record the experience without compromising it. Overall, I had a great time and was satisfied. The boat ride wasn't too long, and it didn't sway enough to make me feel seasick. We had fun at the sandbar and got to swim with sea turtles, achieving what we wanted to do. It would have been perfect if there had been a jacuzzi on the boat for when it got cold. The level of service was high, and we had a pleasant experience. Thank you for everything!

夫婦2人で参加しました。他の皆さんは日本の方が半数、あとは中国や韓国の方々が参加されてました。英語の後に日本語でもアナウンスしてくれて妻も安心でした。ツアーはキャプテンと、現場を仕切る兄ちゃんと、あと若手の3名で船を仕切ってました。船は青と緑の2台構成で、船ごとに交代でシュノーケリングとサンドバーでの自由時間を過ごします。工程としては、ホノルルでピックアップ→カネオヘの港から乗船→ハートシェイプのサンゴを見て→サンドバー到着→SAPや浮き輪で遊んで→そのまま流れでシュノーケリングしながら深みに移動してカメを探す流れでした。サンドバーは私の参加したタイミングだと腰上くらいの水深で、砂州が島になってたりするのかなと思ってたのとはちょっと違いましたがまぁ楽しく遊べました。参加した9月中旬でも、海から上がって陽がかげると女性陣は少し寒そうでした。バスタオルの他にパイルのパーカーでもあると良かったなと感じました。ウェットスーツは着てる人居ませんでした、シュノーケリングしながら団体さんでウミガメ探しながら移動してましたがこの日はなかなかカメに出会えず、サンゴの間でじっとしてるウミガメを泳ぎながら観察する感じでしたが、一人で辛抱強く探してるとウミガメがサンゴの間から出て泳いで息継ぎに行くところに遭遇出来ました。こっちは水面張りつきではありますが、一緒に泳げたので満足です。あまり大所帯で移動しない方が良いのかな。後は、ウミガメ以外はあまり南国っぽい派手なお魚には出会えませんでした。送迎のバスのおっちゃんが提携してるのか惚れ込んでるのか、はたまた家族だったりするんじゃないかと思ったりもしましたが帰りにマラサダのフードトラックに立ち寄ってみんなでオススメのマラサダを買って、食べながら帰りました。おいしかったですよ。送迎の車はエアコンで寒いので、行きは海に入る前だから良いけど、濡らさない帰りの服の着替えはあった方が良いかも。もしくは運転手のおっちゃんに寒いアピールを。私はiPhoneを防水ケースに入れて写真や動画を撮ってましたが、ケースとの相性がイマイチでカメラレンズにケースやストラップが映り込んだり、水中では静電タッチが使えないとかハンドリングが悪いので、GoProの方がベターだなと感じました。写真撮ってくれる(そしてSDカードを買い取らせる)サービスはやってなかったみたいなので、体験を損なわなずに手軽に記録できる準備はした方が良かったです。総じて楽しく過ごせて満足です。船の移動もそんなに長くなく酔うほど揺れなかったし、サンドバーで楽しく遊べたし、ウミガメとも泳げて、やりたい事は出来ました。後は寒くなった時のために船にジャグジーでも付いてると完璧だったかもですね。サービスのレベルも高く気持ちよく過ごせました。お世話になりました!

Deeper than I expected. 思ったよりも深い

Reviewed by: パンプキン

The activities were plentiful, and we had plenty of time to enjoy ourselves!
On the boat, there were few people wearing masks. The boat was quite full of people.
The toilets were not the flushing type; instead, you had to put toilet paper in a trash can. Since we were on the sea, it might be unavoidable, but as a Japanese person, I was concerned about hygiene.
I thought it would be better if there were trash cans with lids.
Overall, the music was pleasant, the crew members were kind, and my elderly father also enjoyed it, so I think it was a good experience.

アクティビティが充実しており、時間もたっぷりありましたので楽しむ事ができました!
船の上ではマスクをしてる人は少数。割と船いっぱいに人がいました。
トイレは流すタイプではなく、トイレットペーパーをゴミ箱に入れるタイプ。海の上なので仕方ないのかもしれませんが、日本人としては、衛生面が気になりました。
蓋のあるゴミ箱とかならまだいいかなと思いました。
全体的には音楽も心地よく、乗務員の方も親切で高齢の父親も楽しんでいましたし、行って良かったと思います。

This cruise is our third Uncle Bob’s cruise and we will definitely go again on our next visit to Hawaii. We saw large turtle’s, there are plenty of fish to take photos of when snorkelling and if you are lucky you will see a turtle that you can take a photo of while snorkelling. A must while visiting Oahu if you want to experience a great day out.

Our tour guides were fantastic and truly helped make the best of a chilly/rainy & overcast day. They were fun, informative and truly went above and beyond to help out with our little one throughout the trip, even when he got a bit moody. Our driver who picked us up was kind as well.

Also the two musicians were amazing, with lovely Hawaiian songs. As for the activities, it was easy to get up and down the stairs to the water, and the sandbar and coral were right there. Lots of other activities easily available, but we were there for the snorkeling. A lovely day! Thank you!

A place I definitely want to visit again. 是非また訪れたい場所

Reviewed by: TANG

My first time in Hawaii and my first sandbar experience. Seeing it in person is even better than in photos. The activities include snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), and there's plenty to do.

During snorkeling, I saw beautiful fish among the coral, and even a sea turtle resting in the coral or surfacing for air. The sandbar is neither too deep nor too shallow, making it a safe place for first-time SUP experiences. This time, I challenged myself to stand up on the paddleboard for the first time. You can enjoy it at your own pace and lose track of time.

The boat is equipped with drinks, snacks, and fruits, and there’s a restroom on board, which is reassuring. There are also staff members who speak Japanese, which is a great support. They call out with a smile, “If you didn’t understand the English explanation, raise your hand!” So don’t be shy and just raise your hand.

If you have your own snorkel, I recommend bringing it. The rental snorkels are standard versions without drainage valves, so using something you’re familiar with might feel more comfortable.

はじめてのハワイではじめてのサンドバー。

First Sandbar: Heaven's Sea はじめてのサンドバー【天国の海】

Reviewed by: ヨーク

This was my first time participating, and I signed up with transportation included. I was informed of the meeting place in advance, but I mistakenly went to the neighboring ABC Store. It would be good to confirm with someone at the hotel front desk who understands Japanese beforehand. The microbus driver was very pleasant (though he didn't speak Japanese).

At the Sandbar reception, I simply stated my name and the number of people, and I was able to pass through smoothly. On the boat, seats were arranged by nationality, which eased my anxiety. There were a total of 8 Japanese participants (4 from my group). The captain spoke a little Japanese and explained the location of the restrooms and the rules of the boat. By chance, when I opened Pokémon GO, he became my friend, which was amusing.

While heading out to sea, we enjoyed Hawaiian music along with donuts and drinks. The singing was lovely, and the donuts were large! (They had three types of coatings: chocolate, sugar, and icing.) Before arriving at the Sandbar, there was an explanation of life jackets in English, and they must be removed for certain activities. Those participating in SUP, snorkeling, kayaking, and banana boat rides will need them. There was a Japanese explanation on how to wear the snorkel. We received bread for the fish, which attracted many of them.

I did SUP and kayaking, but there were limited numbers, so we had to wait a bit until someone finished. Many of the other participants were nice and asked, "Change?"

The highlight of the trip was encountering a honu (sea turtle). Although I couldn't see it underwater while on the SUP, it surfaced to say hello.

After about two hours of fun, we enjoyed hot drinks and warmed up with beach towels we brought from the hotel, and had more donuts. On the return boat ride, we listened to nice Hawaiian music, and it ended in no time.

When we got off the boat, the captain took a photo with us! I was very satisfied with both the service and the experience, so I ended up giving a little extra tip.

Things I was glad I brought:
- Inflatable float (with pump)
- Underwater camera and smartphone case
- Beach towel
- Rash guard

Notes:
- It's easy to injure your feet on the coral.
- If you're not used to snorkeling, breathing can be a bit difficult.
- Sunburn.
- When the tide comes in, the water can reach chest height (morning plan is recommended).

今回初めての参加もあり、送迎ありで申し込み。
集合場所は事前に知らされていたのですが、私の勘違いで隣のABCストアと間違えてしまいました。なので事前にホテルフロントの日本語がわかる方等に確認をすると良いです。
マイクロバスの運転手も感じの良い方でした。(日本語は通じません。)
サンドバーの受付では名前と人数を言ったらすんなり通過。
船では国籍毎に席をまとめられたので不安が軽減しました。日本人参加は計8人(内4人が私のグループ)
船長さんは少し日本語ができる方で、トイレの場所、船のルールを教えてくれます。たまたまポケモンGOを開いていたらフレンドになってくれました笑
沖までで出る間はハワイアンミュージックを聴きながらドーナツとドリンクをいただけます。歌はとても素敵で、ドーナツは大きいです!(チョコ、砂糖、アイシングの3種のコーティング)
サンドバーに着く前に救命胴衣の説明が英語であり、一部のアクティビティでは必ず切る必要があります。SUP、シュノーケリング、カヤック、バナナボートをやる方は必要です。
シュノーケルの装着方法等は日本語の説明がありました。魚用のパンをもらえるので沢山の魚が寄ってきてくれます。
SUPとカヤックをやりましたが、数に限りがあり誰かが終わるまで少し待ちます。他の参加者がいい人が多く「change?」って聞いてくれる人も沢山いました。

そして今回一番良かったのはホヌに出会えたことです。SUP中だったので海中では見ることができませんでしたが、海面に顔を出してくれました。

2時間ほど遊んだあとはホットドリンクを頂きホテルから持ってきたバスタオルで体を温め、またドーナツを頂きました笑
帰りの船の中もいい感じのハワイアンミュージックを聴きながらで、あっという間に終了。

船を降りたら船長さんが一緒に写真を撮ってくれました!
サービスも内容も大満足だったので少し多くチップを渡しちゃいました。

Captain Bob's Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkeling Tour & BBQ Lunch with Waikiki Pickup

This one was worth it

Reviewed by: Chris

I've done alot of activities in oahu including parasailing, snorkeling, and more, but this one was the most worth it. Not only did the 4 hour excursion feel like it was over too soon, but the captain and crew felt like family. They were so informative with what we were doing and also joined us in playing in the sandbars. Lastly, my cousin has never swam let alone in the ocean and was finally able to go out and snorkel! What a epic time!

サンドバー天使の海 シュノーケリング&ウミガメウォッチクルーズ 船上のBBQグリルで焼くハンバーガーランチ付き!<午前/日本語クルー>

The best!! さいこう!!

Reviewed by: ひまあひ

We met at the location. The parking lot happened to be available, but I think it would be hard to find a spot if you arrive last minute.
The boat I boarded had all Japanese customers, and the guide spoke in Japanese, which made me feel at ease.
I went with my 1-year-old and 5-year-old, and we all had a great time!
My 5-year-old seemed really happy to be able to go snorkeling!
The BBQ hamburger we had on the boat was also delicious.

私たちは現地集合で行きました。駐車場はたまたま空いてましたが、ギリギリにくると見つからないかと思います。
私が乗った船はお客さんはみな日本人で、ガイドさんも日本語で話してくれるので安心しました。
1歳と5歳も一緒にいきましたが、とても楽しめました!
5歳はシュノーケリングもできて嬉しかったみたいです!
船で食べるBBQハンバーガーもおいしかったです。

サンドバー天使の海 シュノーケリング&ウミガメウォッチクルーズ 船上のBBQグリルで焼くハンバーガーランチ付き!<午前/日本語クルー>

It was amazing! 最高でした!

Reviewed by: くまさん

I participated with my parents in their 60s, and the sandbar in Kaneohe Bay was shallow enough, so we could enjoy it without worrying about swimming! It was amazing to see sea turtles while snorkeling. The shuttle bus service to and from Waikiki was great. The BBQ burger for lunch was delicious!

60代の両親と一緒に参加しましたが、カネオヘ湾のサンドバーは水深も深くないので、泳げなくても安心して楽しめました!シュノーケリングでは、ウミガメを見ることが出来て最高でした。行き帰りの送迎バス(ワイキキ地区)が付いていてGoodです。ランチのBBQバーガー美味しかったです!
