I used this tour company for a family trip (my kids are in 8th and 6th grade). This is my third experience at the sandbar, but I choose this tour company every time. The reasons are that the staff is cheerful and fun, the boat is large and has a roof, you can enjoy light snacks, the live music is exciting, and you can enjoy marine sports. This time, I signed up for the banana boat experience. During the banana boat ride, we spotted a sea turtle, so they stopped the boat for us. They also respond to music requests. Overall, there seems to be a lot of American participants, but there are Japanese staff members guiding us. Other staff members also communicate in broken Japanese. I plan to use this tour again.
家族旅行で利用しました。(子供は中2、小6)
サンドバーは3回目の体験ですが、毎回このツアー会社を選んでいます。
理由は、スタッフが陽気で楽しいこと、船が大きく屋根が付いていること、軽食が楽しめること、音楽生演奏が盛り上がること、マリンスポーツが楽しめることなどです。
今回はバナナボート付きで申し込みました。
バナナボート体験中、途中で海亀を発見したので船を停めてくれました。
音楽はリクエストにも応えてくれます。
全体的にアメリカの参加者が多いイメージですが、日本人スタッフが案内してくれます。他のスタッフも片言の日本語でコミュニケーションしてくれます。
またこのツアーを利用しようと思います。
I think it's better to check the tide levels in advance online and choose the date and time accordingly for a more enjoyable experience.
潮位を事前にネットなどで確認し、日にちと時間帯を選んだ方が楽しめると思います。

Thank you for participating with your family and for your wonderful five-star review!
We are truly honored that you choose our tour every time as a repeat customer, and it motivates all of our staff greatly. We are delighted that you enjoyed the cheerful crew, the large covered boat, the snacks, live music, and the various marine sports that our tour offers.
Encountering a sea turtle while on the banana boat must have been a special memory for you. We are also glad we could accommodate your music requests!
For your next visit, we will warmly welcome you with all our hearts, including our Japanese-speaking staff, so you can enjoy your time with peace of mind. We look forward to seeing your family again!

I was hesitant because I saw other reviews mentioning that there was no sandy beach, but after checking the tide schedule, I found that the tour time coincided perfectly with low tide, so I decided to participate. Just as I imagined, it was exactly the right time to see the sandy beach, and I was able to witness something precious. The weather was great, and it was the best experience!
I think adults can understand the value of this, but my 6-year-old daughter obviously didn’t grasp it. She seemed to enjoy seeing the turtles and playing with various goods like SAP.
By the way, we also participated in a dolphin swimming tour the day before, but it seemed very scary for her at 6 years old. She was quite nervous when joining this tour, but there were many smaller kids than her, which gave her a sense of security. It turned out to be a fun memory without turning the ocean into a trauma, which was really great.
他の口コミで砂浜は見れなかったなどの書き込みがあったので迷いましたが、潮見表で旅程を確認すると、ツアー時間と干潮がうまく重なっていたので参加してみました。想像していた通り、砂浜が出ている時間ピッタリで、貴重なものが実際に見れて天気も良く最高でした!
大人にはその貴重さが理解できると思いますが、6歳の娘は当然分からず、亀を見れた事や、SAPなど色々なグッズで遊べたことが楽しかったようでした。
ちなみに前々日にイルカと泳ぐツアーにも参加しましたが、6歳にはそちらはとても怖かったようで、かなりビビりながらこちらのツアーに参加しましたが、自分より小さい子も沢山いて安心感があり、海がトラウマにならずに楽しい思い出になりとてもよかったです。
The travel time on the boat isn't long, but it gets cold after getting wet, so it's better to have two towels for drying and covering up, as well as a rash guard and an extra jacket (if participating
船の移動時間は長くないけど、濡れた後は寒いので、拭く用と被る用タオル2枚、ラッシュガードと別に上着ある方がいいです(7月後半参加)。参加後の着替え時間も長くはないです。待ち時間が長くないとも言えます。

The staff were all very friendly, but most of the people around were native speakers, and announcements and services were only in English, so those who prefer service in Japanese might find it inconvenient. Inside, there are long benches and long tables, and they guide you according to your group.
The activities were plentiful; my husband enjoyed beach volleyball, and our first-grade child was thrilled to see tropical fish with the floaties and goggles we brought, as well as a life jacket that was available for rent. It seems you can walk in the coral areas, so I think it's essential for children to have beach shoes (that can be worn in the water) to prevent injuries. Adults would also feel more secure having them.
After snorkeling, I spent a relaxing time on a boat with my daughter, enjoying the beautiful sea while riding on a SUP (you don't have to stand). On the way back, everyone was happily dancing to live music, and we were all healed by the aloha music at the end, creating a special memory.
As for snacks, there weren't any meals like sandwiches, and only donuts were provided (which ran out early due to competition), so it's better to bring your own if you think you'll need more. Coffee is made by getting the grounds and adding hot water yourself. Alcohol is available for a fee. There are two toilets, but they don't have automatic flushing, so you have to use the water from the bottle inside the toilet to flush it yourself.
スタッフの方は皆さんとてもフレンドリーでしたが、周りはネイティブの方がほとんどでアナウンスやサービスも英語のみなので日本語でサービスをご希望の方には不便に感じるかもしれません。中は長ベンチと長テーブルの席になっていてグループごとに案内してくれます。
アクティビティは充実しており、夫はビーチバレーを楽しみ、小学校一年生の子供は持参した浮き輪、水中眼鏡と貸し出しがあったライフジャケットでトロピカルなお魚たちを大興奮で見ていました。珊瑚の所は歩けるみたいなので、怪我防止に子供のビーチシューズ(海中で履ける)は必須だと思いました。大人もあった方が安心です。
私はシュノーケリングの後、娘と好きなようにSUPに乗ったり(立たなくていい)綺麗な海を見ながら船でのんびり過ごしました。帰りはライブミュージックでみんな楽しくダンスしていて最後はアロハミュージックに癒されて特別な思い出になりました。
軽食ですが、サンドウィッチなど食事になるものはなく、ドーナツしか用意がなかったので(争奪戦で前半になくなる)足りない人は持参した方が良いです。コーヒーは粉をもらって自分でお湯を入れます。お酒は有料です。
トイレは2つありますが、自動洗浄はなくトイレの中に置いてある水ボトルの水を自分で流します。
Beach shoes are a must.

The whole staff was so friendly and was so helpful for first timers. It was high tide and we did snorkeling first, the kids loved it learning for the first time. I tried paddle boarding and it was hard for me but still fun. The kids did the banana boat and it was fast and my three year old granddaughter had to ride on the boat instead, but she still had a blast. The band played Island music and it was perfect. We were there at the sandbar for three hours and it was exhausting but still fun. We would love to come here again next year.

Arrived at the port by bus from the hotel! I packed my change of clothes in a large plastic box and off we went to the sea. The captain explained everything in English, while the Japanese guide provided detailed explanations! We played in the shallow sea for about an hour and saw fish and turtles while snorkeling. I got a bit separated while chasing the turtles and fish, but they quickly brought me back. I couldn't take any photos, but I was glad to see so many fish and turtles.

In the shallow sea, you can swim surprisingly well, so I recommend bringing goggles. Do not touch the coral! There will be an explanation, so please listen carefully.

You can also see turtles from the boat, and during the one-hour snorkeling experience, you can spot them as well. The service is excellent, and during the free time after the experience, you can relax and enjoy some juice. For those who want to have an intense experience with marine life, the duration might feel short, but I recommend it for those who want a quick taste of Hawaii.
船からも亀さんを見ることもできますし、1時間のシュノーケリング体験の間でも見れます。サービスもすごく良くて、体験後の楽しみの自由時間ではジュースを飲んだり、まったりできます。もしかしたら、ガンガン海の生き物と楽しみたいという方には体験が短いと感じるかもしれませんが、サクッとハワイを体験したい人にはおすすめです。
Make sure to bring a cover-up. You'll be spending a long time at the beach.

This was our second time doing this sandbar tour with this company. The staff is always very nice and there are beautiful views. The first trip went really well however, this second trip was not so great.
I am aware of high and low tide times which both times were high tide, but this time the water was over my head and windy with a pretty strong current. I am 5’ 1” and it made it near impossible to do anything at all. I know the staff cannot control ocean levels but just something to keep in mind for shorter people or people with kids. I would have been better off just saving the money and walking out into the regular ocean as far as I could before it got too deep.
When booking make it known water levels might not be like a sandbar at all if on the shorter side.

I participated with the mindset that I might be lucky, but I really got to see sea turtles (there were at least 7 or 8 during the snorkeling), and while I couldn't touch them, they swam and rested right nearby, which made me feel calm.
There were also many fish swimming around, and I had fun trying stand-up paddleboarding in the shallow waters. It was a wonderful day, not only while I was in the ocean but also relaxing on the boat while enjoying the beautiful scenery. Spending a day on this tour during my short stay in Hawaii was definitely the right choice. I highly recommend it.

The banana boat can accommodate six people in two rows for two families. It was so much fun! You won't get thrown off. Due to the tides, we couldn't reach the sandy beach, but that's understandable. You don't need water shoes at all. Both stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking were enjoyable, and even though we didn't see any turtles, we were happy to see lots of fish. Staying in the water for too long can get chilly, and if you get out while still wet, it gets even colder, so having a dry towel or a dry jacket is necessary. There are cold juices or water on the boat, but you can pay for hot coffee. My daughter and I kept drinking hot water to warm ourselves up. Also, my husband almost caused a commotion when he dropped his phone, which was in a waterproof bag, but the staff found it, and we were really grateful for that. Thank you so much for your help at that time. Next time, I’d like to go when the sandy beach is visible!
バナナボートは2家族の横2列の6人乗り。めっちゃ楽しかったです。振り落とされる事はありません。潮の満ち引きなので仕方ないですが砂浜には出会えませんでした。ウォーターシューズはなくても全然大丈夫。サップもカヤックも楽しかったし、カメには出会えなかったけどたくさんの魚を見られて良かったです。海の中にずっといると冷えるし、上がっても濡れたままだと更に冷えるので、乾いたタオルか乾いた上着が必要です。船上には冷たいジュースか水ですが、お金を払えば暖かいコーヒーがあります。私と娘はお湯をひたすら飲んで身体を温めました。あと、旦那が防水袋に入れたスマホを落としてしまい、大騒ぎになりかけましたが、スタッフが見つけてくれて本当に助かりました。あの時はありがとうございました。次は砂浜が出てる時に行ってみたいですね〜
You don't need to change, but please bring a dry long-sleeve jacket.

Our family, including 5 children ages 7 to 20 & 3 seniors took this boating excursion. It was fantastic! I recommend getting the all inclusive package so you can enjoy the banana boat & bumper tube. All the staff were great & the entertainment was good too. The staff keep everyone safe in the water & were constantly looking out for guest safety.
I recommend arranging for the pick up & drop off because it’s a bit of a drive & the transportation
Aloha!
Thank you so much for joining our tour and sharing your wonderful experience. We’re so happy to hear that your whole family, from kids to seniors, had a fantastic time with us!
We truly appreciate your recommendation and kind words about our staff and activities. Safety and fun are always our top priorities.

Beautiful spot, tide wasn't super low (which you can't really control) but the snorkeling was just mediocre, per my friends that did it. We were on the boat most of the time eating cup of noodles, the live music was awesome and one of the guys that took people out for the banana ride was super nice and fun to chat with. The guy handing out goggles was a bit all over the place, I stood in line twice to get my goggles and he kept giving everyone theirs as I just stood there waiting and I almost thought he was doing that on purpose as it happened 2x so I just gave up and said well I guess I'm not snorkeling today. That was a bit disappointing. I think for the price, it wasn't really worth it. There are better tours here on the island.
Aloha Trina,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.
We're glad to hear you enjoyed the live music and had a great interaction with one of our banana boat crew—those moments are what we love to hear about! That said, we're truly sorry to hear about your experience with the snorkeling gear distribution. That’s definitely not the level of service we aim to provide, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention. We’ll be reviewing this with our team to make sure all guests are treated fairly and promptly.
We understand that ocean conditions and value for cost are important, and we always strive to deliver an experience that feels worthwhile from start to finish. We hope you'll consider giving us another try in the future, perhaps during a lower tide when the sandbar is more visible and the water conditions are more favorable.
Mahalo,

The staff were all smiling, kind, and spoke Japanese very well, creating a bright and reassuring atmosphere where I could enjoy myself! The light snacks, including sandwiches and chips, were delicious, and I bought some souvenirs at ABCstore. I didn't get seasick, and there was wonderful music on board, creating a happy space where all participants were smiling. The water activities were enjoyable enough even with just the free options! I also tried the bumper tube as an option, which was more intense and active than I imagined, but I managed to endure it (laughs). I almost felt like I was going to heaven, but since it was something I had longed to do, I was glad I chose the option! I was also surprised by the cleanliness of the ship! It was so much fun that the three hours flew by! If I have the chance to come to Hawaii again, I would definitely like to participate!
スタッフさん全員笑顔で優しく日本語も上手でとっても明るく、安心して楽しめました!軽食のサンドイッチとスナック菓子も美味しくて、ABCstoreでお土産に買いました^^船酔いもせず、船内では素敵な演奏もあり参加者全員が笑顔で幸せな空間に包まれてました♪ウォーターアクティビティは無料の中だけでも十分に楽しめます!私はオプションでバンパーチューブもしましたが、想像以上に激しくてアクティブでしたが、必死に耐え抜きました(笑)昇天しかけましたが、念願だったのでオプションでやってよかったです!船内の清潔さにも驚きました!楽しくて3時間あっという間でした!またハワイに来る機会があれば是非参加したいです♪
Thanks to the motion sickness medication, I didn't get nauseous! It's reassuring to have motion sickness pills.
酔い止めのおかげで酔いませんでした!酔い止めがあると安心です。

This is my fourth experience at Angel's Sea, including other companies. Not in a bad way, but I was surprised by how many people there were, and since it was my first time being picked up by a large bus, I was worried about how it would go. However, they divided us into a foreign team and a Japanese team, and we had a great time throughout. They were also kind to families with children, which made me feel at ease. I was satisfied with seeing many sea turtles, and it looked like people were having fun playing beach volleyball at Angel's Sea. The lunch was also more delicious than I expected.
天使の海は他社を含めて四回目の体験です?悪い意味ではなく思った以上に人が多く初めて大型バスでのお迎えだったのでどうなることやらと心配しましたが、外国人チームと日本人チームに分けてくださり、終始楽しく過ごせました。子連れにも親切にしてくださり安心でした。海亀もたくさん見れて満足ですし、天使の海はビーチバレーしてる方もいらっしゃり楽しそうでした。ランチも思ってる以上に絶品です。
I wore long sleeves to protect against sunburn, but after getting used to it, the wind was strong and cold, so I ended up taking them off and swimming.
日焼け防止で長袖着ていきましたが、慣れた後の風が強くて寒いので結局脱いで泳ぐことになりました。

If you are prone to seasickness, it may be necessary to prepare in advance.

This tour used to be quite popular, and I couldn't join before because it was always fully booked. I'm glad I could participate this time. The sea felt a bit cold, but I was able to go snorkeling. I also saw a sea turtle, and the freshly grilled hamburger was delicious! The Japanese guide was cheerful, and I had a great time.
このツアーは昔かなり人気だったようで以前は一杯で参加できませんでした。今回は参加できてよかったです。海は少し冷たく感じましたが、シュノーケリングもできました。ウミガメも見られて、ハンバーガーも焼きたてで美味しかった!日本語ガイドさんも陽気で楽しく過ごせました。
I recommend bringing something warm to wear, as the bus can be quite cold.

The drivers and the crew were very cheerful, kind, and made the experience enjoyable. The water was about waist-deep, but it was very clear, and I had a great time snorkeling and paddleboarding. There were also plenty of snacks available. It was so good that I would love to participate again.

The sea was beautiful, and we had plenty of time to take photos, play with the stand-up paddleboards, floaties, and go snorkeling. We had an amazing time!!
The staff were all fun and kind. When I lost something, they continued to search for it even the day after we left, and I am very grateful for that. They made sure that the participants had the best time to create wonderful memories of their trip!!
It was such a great experience that I definitely want to go back if I have the chance to visit Hawaii again. 😊
