We were lucky to have good weather. The water level was up to my waist, but I was able to walk.
Snorkeling was fun too. (Even though there was a sea turtle right there, for some reason I couldn't see it...) The staff were polite and kind. If there are many people, you might be split into two groups, so there's a chance you could end up in the group that has lunch just before snorkeling. I think those who are sensitive to the boat and waves should be careful. I held back on what I wanted to eat and only had a little, haha.
The photo was taken while the smartphone was still in a zippered bag I bought at a Japanese Daiso. It turned out okay.
運良く天候に恵まれました。
腰まで水位がある状態でしたが、歩くことができました。
シュノーケルも楽しかったです。
(せっかく海ガメがすぐそこにいたのに、なぜか私は見れず…。)
スタッフの方も丁寧で親切でした。
人数が多いと、二手に分かれるため、シュノーケルの直前にご飯になるグループに当たる可能性があります。船や波の揺れに弱い方は要注意だと思います。私は食べたいところをぐっと抑えて少量にしました笑。
写真は日本のダイ◯ーで買ったスマホ用ジッパー付き袋に入れたままで撮ったものです。それなりに撮れました。

I was satisfied with the cruise.
However, it was disappointing that there was no place to change.
The girls changed outside and seemed anxious about being seen.
The boys didn't mind and just got on the bus as they were. It was too cold because the air conditioning was too strong.
クルーズも出来て満足でした。
ただ、残念なのは着替え場所がない事。
女子は外で着替えましたが、、見られてるかどうかと不安そうでした、、。
男子は気にしないのでそのままバスに乗り込み。冷房が効きすぎで、寒かったです、、

I participated on August 23 when a typhoon was approaching Oahu. I woke up several times during the night, thinking I might receive an email saying the event would be canceled. However, it was confirmed that the event would go ahead, and I decided to participate, knowing that if I canceled on the day, the nearly 90,000 yen for seven people would not be refunded.
Since the sun wasn't out, the sea wasn't beautiful, and both the water and air temperatures were low, everyone was feeling cold. I also participated in snorkeling, but due to the typhoon's effects, I felt scared as I was almost swept away.
After returning, I contacted a company that specializes in sandbar cruises, and they informed me that the Public Safety Bureau had issued a warning, stating that boats should not go out. They mentioned that other companies likely weren't operating either. They said that just rain wouldn't lead to cancellations, but since a hurricane was approaching, that was the reason for the cancellation. I wonder if it was really a good decision to go ahead with the event.
Given the circumstances, I'm relieved that nothing happened. By the way, I heard that those who canceled on the day received a full refund. I regret participating just to avoid losing the 90,000 yen.
オアフに台風が近づいている8月23日に参加しました。中止に当然なるのではとメールが来るかもしれないと何度も夜中に目が覚めました。しかしながら催行するとのこと、7人分の9万近いお金が当日こちらがキャンセルすれば返ってこないと参加しました。
太陽が出ていないので海も綺麗でなく、水温も気温も低くて皆さん寒がっていました。シュノーケリングにも参加しましたが、台風の影響で流されそうになり怖い思いをしました。
帰ってからサンドバー専門のクルーザーの会社に問い合わせたところ、公安局から危険と指示があったので船は出てはいけないということで他の催行会社も全て出ていないだろう、ただの雨ではキャンセルにならないけどハリケーンが近づいていたからいう回答を得ました。催行して良かったのでしょうか。
そんな中でしたので何事もなくてよかったと思います。ちなみに当日キャンセルの方には全額返金したそうです。9万を惜しんで参加しなければ良かったです。

Heavenly Ocean was amazing! It was my first time participating on my 10th trip to Hawaii! I always thought about going, but I hesitated because it seemed boring if the sandbar wasn't out. Finally, I decided to give it a try! I wish I had gone from the start! In the end, the sandbar wasn't out, but the ocean was incredibly beautiful, something I had never seen before... it was wonderful.
To get to Heavenly Ocean, we drove about an hour from Waikiki along mountain roads. Since I tend to get motion sickness in cars and boats, I took some anti-nausea medication before going, so I was totally fine. After that, we boarded the boat to Heavenly Ocean... Within 30 minutes, we could see the sandbar, and there was clearly a different zone with a distinct color and feel to the water!
At Heavenly Ocean, there was about waist-deep water, possibly due to the hurricane that had come the day before, but it was incredibly beautiful and enjoyable! We practiced snorkeling, played beach volleyball, and had fun with a diverse group of people. Couples were taught how to take lovely photos, and they took many beautiful pictures. We were just so impressed by the stunning ocean!
I've been to various oceans before, but I truly felt that it lived up to its name, Heavenly Ocean! While we were playing, the crew grilled meat on a barbecue. I had some concerns about the quality of the meat since it was labeled BBQ, but what we got was a hamburger! We made our own sandwiches with the meat, cheese, and vegetables... there were also beans and chips, and it was delicious.
After that, we went to a spot where we could see turtles. It was very close by, and the sea turtles popped their heads up! Then, we went snorkeling around the coral reef!!! There were colorful fish all around the coral. I was able to see even more colorful fish than when I went diving in Hawaii, and since it was snorkeling, it was easy to participate, which was great!
The Japanese guide was very friendly and kind to everyone, which was really nice!
Actually, I had booked this tour on the day of the hurricane, and it was scheduled to go until the last minute, but at the last moment, it was canceled, and they helped me rebook. Since it's an American company, I guess there are cancellation fees and various things to consider? I think it's better to hold out until the last minute. I learned that the cancellation was due to the rough sea around the coral reef, which made it impossible to see anything! This means it might have been possible to go, so if there are cancellation fees, it might be worth waiting until the last minute. They said that if it was really impossible, they would contact me to cancel and refund my money.
In any case, I was very satisfied to have participated for the first time! I will definitely join again the next time I come to Hawaii!
天国の海最高でした!10回目のハワイ旅行にして初参加でした!
いつも行ってみたいと思いながら、サンドバーが出てないとつまらなそうと、やめていたけど、ついに行ってみることにしました!
最初から行けば良かった!って思いました!
結果的にサンドバーは出てなかったけど、海が初めて見る綺麗さで、、、素晴らしかったです。
天国の海までは、ワイキキから車で1時間くらい山道を走りました。私は元々車や船に酔いやすいので、酔い止めを飲んで行きました。なので全然平気でした。その後、船に乗って天国の海へ、、、。
船は30分も乗らないうちにサンドバーが見えてきて、そこだけあきらかに色も海の感じも違うゾーンが現れました!
天国の海では、前日にハリケーンが来ていた影響もあったのか、腰くらいまで水がありましたが、めっちゃくちゃ綺麗で楽しめました!
次に待っているシュノーケルの練習をしたり、ビーチバレーをしたり、国際色豊かなメンバーで楽しんだり、カップルはステキな写真の撮り方を教えてもらって、綺麗な写真を沢山撮ってました。
私たちは綺麗な海にひたすら感激!
今まで色んな海に行って来ましたが、やはり天国の海というだけあると実感!
そして、天国の海で私たちが遊んでいる間にクルーがバーベキューグリルでお肉を焼いてくれました。
BBQと書いてあったので、お肉の美味しくないのだったらやだなぁなんて内心思ってたのですが、出来上がったのは、ハンバーガー!
自分でパンにお肉とチーズと野菜を挟んで、、、ビーンズとチップスもあって、美味しくいただきました。
その後は、亀が見えるスポットへ。すぐ近くにあって、ウミガメさんがひょこひょこ顔を出してくれました。
そして、サンゴ礁の周りをシュノーケリング !!!
サンゴ礁の周りに色とりどりの魚がいました。
ダイビングでハワイの海に潜った時よりも色とりどりの魚が沢山見ることができて、シュノーケルだったので、簡単に参加できて良かったです!
案内の日本人の方もすごくフレンドリーで誰に対しても優しく、とっても良かったです!
実は、このツアーハリケーンの日に予約していて、ギリギリまで催行予定だったのですが、ギリギリにNGが出て、予約を取り直してもらいました。アメリカの会社なので、キャンセル料とか色々あるんでしょうね?ギリギリまで粘った方がいいかと思います。NGになったのは、サンゴ礁のところが海が荒れて何も見えなくなったからとツアーに参加して教えてもらいました!ということは、出来なくもなかったということかと思いますので、キャンセル料がかかるときはギリギリまで粘っていいかと思います。本当に無理だとキャンセルの連絡が来て、お金も返金してくれるとのことでしたから。
いずれにしても、初参加出来て大満足です!
また、次回ハワイに来るときはまた参加させていただきます!

Despite the heavy rain and calm sea without wind, we proceeded with the tour as planned. We arrived at the sandbar! Although it was cold and we were shivering, we decided to get into the water, but we couldn't stay in for more than five minutes before getting back on the boat. We ended up eating sandwiches in the leaking cabin. Some people went snorkeling, but they said it was too murky to see anything. Well, that makes sense! It was pointless to even go in.
When we finally thought we could go home, the pickup bus didn't arrive, and we had to wait for an hour in an empty parking lot. It was cold, but at least it didn't rain while we were waiting for the bus, which was a small relief.
In summary, while bad weather might be a matter of luck, I thought it was terrible that the tour continued just for the sake of money despite the conditions. Also, the waiting time for the bus felt like pure torture.
If I go again, I hope it will be when there isn't a hurricane!
大雨の中風がなく海は穏やかなので〜と言うことでそのままツアーします
との事でサンドバーまで行き到着!
雨と寒さでブルブル震えるなかせっかくなので
海に入りましたが5分と入ってられず船にあがり、雨漏りする船内でサンドイッチを食べました。シュノーケリングに出かけた方もいましたが濁っていて何も見えないと
そりゃ〜そうでしょう‼︎ 入るだけ無駄ですよ
無事に戻りやっと帰れると思ったら
迎えのバスが来ない、何もない駐車場に1時間も待たされました
寒かったけどバスの待ちは雨が降らなかった事が救いでした
感想 天候が悪いのは運なのかもしれませんが こんな状態でお金のためだけにツアーを中止にせず行うのは酷いなぁと思いました
また、バスの待ち時間は地獄そのものでした
次回もし行くならハリケーンが来ていない時にしたいものです

In April, I participated with my mother. The participants varied widely, including newlywed couples, families with small children, elderly couples, and adult groups.
In the morning, we were picked up next to DFS. We were staying very close to the Sheraton, but it was unfortunate that the Sheraton bus stop could not pick up non-guests.
On the day of the tour, it was sunny to slightly rainy in Waikiki, but it was pouring rain and gray skies at the location. Therefore, we couldn't see the beautiful scenery like in the pictures at all. However, I thought the tour itself was packed with activities.
1. Everyone walked to the sandbar.
2. Snorkeling was available for those who wanted to participate (snorkel sets and floatation devices were provided for free).
3. Lunch (those who didn't go snorkeling ate first, but the portion was sufficient).
4. Motorboat and SUP were available for those who wanted to try (free).
It's really regrettable about the bad weather. Even in poor weather, we were able to see turtles while snorkeling, and there were reasonably clear waters and colorful fish to enjoy. It was a rocky area where you couldn't touch the bottom, but we could borrow floatation devices, and there were quite a few fish. The lunch was quite varied for being on a boat, and the bone-in meat was particularly delicious.
The staff were kind and entertaining, but there were many items for sale that they recommended, so be cautious. On the other hand, you can buy quite a few things on the boat. If necessary, I recommend bringing marine shoes, rash guards, and an underwater camera (waterproof cover for smartphones) in advance. It's either barefoot or marine shoes on the boat.
The satisfaction level of the tour seems to depend a lot on the weather. Even with the pouring rain, I was somewhat satisfied with the price, so I can imagine I would have been very satisfied if it had been sunny. However, someone who participated on the same day mentioned it was their third time joining, and it had rained every time (laughs).
4月に母と二人で参加。新婚旅行風カップル、小さい子連れファミリー、老年夫婦、大人グループなど参加者層は幅広かったです。
朝はDFS横でピックアップ。シェラトンすぐ近くに宿泊でしたが、シェラトンバス停は宿泊者以外のピックアップができなかったのが残念。
当日はワイキキは晴~小雨。現地はザーザー降り&灰色空。よって、写真みたいな景色は全然見れませんでした。。
でも、ツアー自体は盛りだくさんで良かったと思います。
1、全員で歩いてサンドバー
2、希望者のみシュノーケリング(シュノーケルセット・浮具貸出無料)
3、ランチ(シュノーケル行かなかった人が先に食べてるけど量は十分)
4、希望者のみ、モーターボート・SUP(無料)
ほんとに悪天候が悔やまれます。
悪天候でもシュノーケル中はカメが見れたり、それなりに透明な海やそれなりにカラフルな魚が見れたりして楽しめました。足が付かない岩場でしたが浮具も借りれたし、魚の数も結構いました。ランチも船内にしては種類豊富で、特に骨付き肉が美味しかったです。
スタッフさんは親切で面白いけど、勧められる販売品も多いので注意かな。逆に結構色々船内でも買えます。必要ならば、あらかじめマリンシューズ・ラッシュガード・水中カメラ(スマホ防水カバー)などを持っていくのがおすすめ。船内は裸足かマリンシューズです。
天候でかなり満足度が変わりそうなツアー。ザーザーでもこの値段でもまあ満足なので、晴れてたら大満足なんだろうな。ただ、同じ日に参加した人は3度目の参加だそうで、全部雨だとか(笑)
Aloha! Thank you for participating in the tour and for the detailed report. The weather... is just part of outdoor tours... We look forward to your revenge participation, Miko!
アロハ!ツアーご参加&詳細なレポートありがとうございます。

The timing of the tides didn't align, so the sandbar didn't appear, and we were left with shallow waters about waist-deep.
During the sea turtle watching, we were able to spot over ten turtles, which was a lot of fun!
The staff were bright and kind.
The area around the sandbar tends to get more rain and the temperatures are lower compared to Waikiki, so it felt a bit chilly.
I'm glad I went, but since we were at the edge of the sandbar, next time I would like to choose a tour company that can take us to the central area.
潮の満ち引きのタイミングが合わず、サンドバーは出現せず、腰の高さくらいの浅瀬でした。
ウミガメウォッチングでは、10匹以上見つけることができて楽しかったです♪
スタッフの皆さんは、明るく優しい方達でした♪
サンドバー周辺の地域は雨が降りやすく気温もワイキキに比べると低めなので、少し肌寒い印象でした。
行って良かったですが、サンドバーの端っこのエリアだったので、次回は中心のエリアに行ける催行会社を選んでみたいと思います☆

Seeing so many green sea turtles is an unforgettable experience, snorkeling around the reef also fun.

I was really excited to see several sea turtles during the sea turtle watching until we reached the sandbar, but the sandbar was deeper than I expected, so I couldn't sit down to take photos. (I had to give up on sitting my child down with the beautiful scenery in the background...) I think it's better to check the tide schedule in advance. However, both the sea and the sandbar were very beautiful, and I was satisfied!! Please be careful after coming out of the water, as it can get cold.
砂洲に着くまでの海亀ウォッチでは何匹も見れて中々興奮しましたが、砂洲が思っていたよりも深く座って写真撮影はできませんでした。(子供を座らして絶景をバックに…は断念しました)

Above all, the sea was incredibly beautiful. Luckily, I was able to see couple of sea turtles and manta rays, which was amazing! If I could wish for something, since I went with children, I was walking behind everyone in the snorkeling preparation, and I got pushed back by someone who started snorkeling a bit earlier, so I didn't have enough time to enjoy snorkeling slowly. I would have liked to cut down a bit more time relaxing at the sandbar and had a few more minutes to snorkel. The time was too short, and my child was only able to practice floating. The Japanese guide, the boat captain, and all the staff were very kind, and I was able to enjoy the tour!

The sea of Lanikai, also known as the "Heavenly Sea," was incredibly beautiful. The emerald green areas turn into sandbars during low tide, revealing sandy beaches if the timing is right. If you want to see the beach, you need to check the low tide schedule and join a tour accordingly.
After playing at the sandbar, I had a hamburger on the boat. They grilled it right there, and it was very delicious! ✨
During snorkeling, we were given bread to feed the fish, and many colorful fish gathered around, which was a lot of fun! ♪
The tour guides were also great at keeping the energy up, making it an extremely enjoyable day!!!

I thought there would be more fish while snorkeling, but I didn't see that many, so that was a bit disappointing. It was probably because the spot I was looking at wasn't very good.

Playing beach volleyball with everyone was incredibly fun. My daughter was happy to take pictures of the many fish around the coral with her beach camera.

If I had to mention one thing, it would be that there were a lot of participants, and the seating on the boat was very cramped... During lunchtime, even though we received our hamburgers, there was nowhere to sit and eat, which was a bit of a hassle...
If it weren't for the cramped conditions on the boat, I think it would have been the best tour ever!☆

The boat had a Japanese female guide who made the experience enjoyable without any inconveniences! The guide was very humorous and fun, creating a friendly atmosphere. I brought my 4-year-old and 10-year-old children along.
Although it was a regular tide day at the sandbar, my 4-year-old was able to play in the shallow water that was about their waist deep. For lunch, we had hamburgers on the boat, and the kids enjoyed them very much.
For snorkeling, we could swim while wearing life jackets, and my 10-year-old had a great time seeing underwater with the borrowed snorkel. My 4-year-old was also able to swim with the life jacket and a floating device that was lent to us!
I was surprised to see many sea turtles, which I hadn't expected at all! After the activities, it felt a bit chilly, but at just the right time, they served hot chocolate, which the kids absolutely loved and enjoyed drinking.
It seems that this tour was the most fun part of our trip to Hawaii for the kids♪ Highly recommended!
船には日本人の女性のガイドの方が乗ってくれており、不自由なく楽しめました!
ガイドの方もとてもユーモアで楽しく、和気あいあいとしていました。
4歳と10歳の子供を連れて行きました。
サンドバーも普通の潮見の日でしたが、4歳児の腹ぐらいの浅瀬で遊べました。
ランチは船上でハンバーガーが食べれて、子供達も美味しく食べれてました。
シュノーケリングは、ライフジャケットを着て泳げるので、10歳は、借りたシュノーケルで水中を見れてとても楽しかった様子。
4歳児も、棒状の浮き具を貸してもらえるので、ライフジャケットと浮き具で泳げました!
あまり期待していなかったウミガメも沢山見れて、びっくり!
アクティビティの後は少し肌寒く感じたのですが、グッドタイミングで、ホットチョコレートを出して下さり、子供達はとーーーっても気に入って、喜んで飲んでいました。
今回のハワイ旅行の中で、子供達は一番楽しかったのが、このツアーだったみたいです♪
とても、オススメ♪

The day after arriving in Hawaii, I chose a course that departed at 9:30 instead of early morning. It was relaxing, so I was able to recover my energy. The scenery and timing were just right.
It had been a while since I went snorkeling, but there were no issues at all. I got to swim around the coral reefs and see beautiful fish, which made for a wonderful time. It was a bit disappointing that it was a little deep due to the tides, but the good weather and the opportunity to interact with foreign travelers made me very satisfied!
ハワイに着いた次の日なので、早朝では無く、9時半出発のコースにしました。ゆったりできたので、体力も回復。景色も時間もちょうど良かったです。
シュノーケリングも久々でしたが、何の問題もなく、サンゴ礁をぐるっと一回りしたり、綺麗な魚を見られて素晴らしい時間でした。滿汐等の関係で少し深かったのが残念でしたが、いいお天気だったことや、外国の旅行者とも交流できるので、私は大満足でした!

This was my first time in Hawaii.
I participated with my two sons, aged 9 and 11, making it a family of four.
We were satisfied with both the swimming and lunch.
This tour is popular and fills up quickly, so I recommend making a reservation early if you're considering a trip to Hawaii.
★Departure★
We were picked up under the flagpole at the Ilikai Hotel.
It’s also a pickup spot for Dolphin University and other tours, so it was quite crowded.
The bus arrived about 10 minutes late, but I felt reassured because I had called the contact number provided by Veltra to ask for the bus number.
The pickup location is also a stop for the pink line bus from Ala Moana Shopping Mall (free with a JCB card), so you could arrive by that bus as well.
After a 60-minute bus ride, we arrived at the port.
★Boarding - Sandbar★
We were split into two groups: Japanese and others.
Around 40:15, there were a lot of Japanese people.
Since the boat was the same size, it felt a bit crowded here.
We went with one Japanese person and a cheerful foreign staff member who understood Japanese. Let’s go!!
Drinks were provided along the way.
The lemonade was fantastic!
We arrived at the sandbar in about 30 minutes.
★Sandbar★
Unfortunately, it wasn't an island but rather a shallow area up to our stomachs.
If you really want an island experience, you can choose from three tour times: morning, noon, and afternoon, so check the tide schedule before making a reservation!
Here, we practiced snorkeling.
It was just right for the kids to get accustomed!
With the emerald blue sea and sandy coral, we took photos and enjoyed the clear water.
Beach volleyball was open for everyone to join!
It was a lot of fun.
Snorkels and life jackets are available for rent.
Fins are for the next coral reef.
★Lunch - Turtle Tour★
Lunch consisted of huge burgers!
The meat was freshly grilled on the boat.
The staff came aboard and performed live music with a guitar, and I thought, "Ah, this is a resort."
After finishing our meal, we set off.
We watched turtles while heading to the large coral reef.
On average, we saw one every 2-3 minutes.
I think we saw about 10-15 turtles.
★Snorkeling at the Coral Reef★
We received bread and off we went!
The fish gathered around, and when we offered the bread, they nibbled at it!
And then, a turtle swam right beside us!
I made a wish and swam together for about 30 seconds.
We swam for about 30 minutes, but due to a series of jellyfish stings (the blue ones), we had to cut it short.
(My wife also got stung.)
Those who were stung by jellyfish were treated with warm packs or cream.
The staff here were very attentive and provided great service.
We enjoyed warm drinks on the way back.
★Return★
The bus was 30 minutes late, haha.
But it was nice to have a little break on land.
It seems like taking a direct route from the boat to the bus could lead to motion sickness.
Everyone has their own perspective on this.
★Overall Review★
It was very good!
Next time, I want to achieve "landing" on the sandbar!
はじめてのハワイでした。
9歳と11歳の息子たちと家族4人で参加。
遊泳、ランチいずれも満足でした^ ^
このツアーは人気ですぐに予約で埋まってしまうので
ハワイ行きを検討されている方は早めの予約がおススメです。
★出発★
イリカイホテルの旗ポールの下でピックアップ。
イルカ大学さんやほかのツアーのピックアップ場所でもあるので
ごった返し(汗
10分遅れでバスが到着でしたが
ベルトラから案内あった当日連絡先に電話して
バスの番号を聞いていたので安心でした。
当該ピックアップ場所は、
アラモアナショッピングモールからの
ピンクラインバス(JCBカード所持で無料)
停留所でもあるので、当該バスで乗り付けてもいいですね。
バスで60分揺られて港に到着。
★乗船〜サンドバー★
日本人とそれ以外の2グループに分割。
40:15くらいで日本人多っ(汗
船は同じ大きさなので、こちらは少し混み合いました。。
日本人1人+日本語がわかるノリの良い外国人スタッフと一緒にLet’s go!!
途中飲み物提供あり。
レモネード最高!
30分ほどでサンドバーへ到着。
★サンドバー★
残念ながら島状にはなっておらず、腹〜胸くらいの浅瀬状態でした。
どうしても島がいいという人は
ツアーは午前、昼、午後の3部から選べるので
潮干狩りのように
どの日どの時間帯が干潮か、調べてから予約しましょう!
ここでシュノーケリング練習。
キッズにはちょうど良い慣らしですね!
エメラルドブルーの海とサンゴの砂で
写真を撮ったり、水の綺麗さを楽しんだり^ ^
全員入り乱れてのビーチバレーは参加したもの勝ち!
楽しくなれます。
シュノーケル、ライフジャケット貸出あります。
フィンは次のサンゴ礁で。
★ランチ〜カメツアー★
ランチはデカイバーガー!
肉は船上で焼きたてを提供です^ ^
スタッフが船の上に上がってギター生演奏で歌ってくれ、
「ああ、リゾートだ」と一言。
食べ終わったら出発。
おおきなサンゴ礁までの間、カメウォッチング。
平均したら2、3分に1回見れたかな。
10〜15匹は見たような。
★サンゴ礁でシュノーケリング★
パンをもらってGo!
魚がめっちゃ集まり、パンを差し出すと
突っついてくれます!
そして、なんとカメがそばにユラり!!
願い事をして、30秒ほど一緒に泳げました。
30分ほど泳いでいましたが、
クラゲ(青いやつ)に刺される被害者が続出(20人くらい)
のためそこで切り上げ。
(うちの嫁も被害に)
クラゲに刺された人は、お湯パックであっためたり
クリームを塗ってもらっていました。
ここでもスタッフが手厚く、対応良かったです。
あったかい飲み物を飲みながら帰投。
★帰り★
バスが30分遅れ笑
でもまあ、少し陸上で休憩できてよかったかも。
船→バスのダイレクトだと酔う可能性高そうですね。
ここの考え方は人それぞれということで。
★総評★
とても良かったです!
今度はサンドバー「上陸」果たしたいです^ ^

まずは、ボートで数分走って、サンドバーを散歩しながら説明を聞いたり写真撮影などをします。
プライベートなので、人の少ない所に連れて行ってもらえるため、写真撮影では他の人が映らない景色をたくさん撮影することができました。そのあと、サンドバーの近くにあるシュノーケリングスポット(ちょうど水深が深くなるところ)に移動して、希望者はシュノーケルをしました。大きな魚がたくさんいました。
お腹がすいてきたので、船上でランチです。同じツアー会社の大人数を乗せる船も催行しており、そこで焼いたカルビやソーセージも頂き、最後は、ウォーターアクティビティーを楽しみました。3時間は長すぎるかと思いきやあっという間に楽しい時間が過ぎ去ってしまいましたが、非常によい思い出になりました。
昼食用のごはんや飲み物は、とっても美味しく満足のいく量があります。お酒を3缶持っていき、氷がたくさん入ったアイスボックスで冷やしてもらいもらえました。
シュノーケルセットは、透明度が高く海の中がくっきり見え、視力が弱くても海の中ではきれいに見えます。
6人いるなら絶対にプライベートボートがおすすめです。
さわやかで優しい日本人女性ガイドさんと、若々しく機転を利かせながらもてなしてくれるキャプテンの2名が、きめ細やかな対応をしてくださいました。写真もたくさん撮影してくださるし、子供のわがままにも応えてくれ(早く次に行きたい、あれがやりたいなど)ました。シュノーケルする前に、シュノーケリングの基本を教えてくださり、ガイドさんは常にライフセーバー用の浮き棒をもってシュノーケルのところまで一緒に来てくださるので、いつでも安心です。本当にどうもありがとうございました!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース貸し切りツアーご参加ありがとうございました。
Yumimin様のレポート、自分のところのツアーなのになんかドキドキワクワクして参加したくなっちゃいました(笑)。
またぜひ遊びにいらして下さいね。マハロ!

It was amazing to see the sea turtles. The BBQ lunch was also delicious.
There are morning and afternoon sessions, but I checked the tides in advance and chose the morning.
ウミガメにも会えて最高でした。BBQランチもおいしかったですよ。
午前と午後がありますが、前もって潮を調べて午前にしました。
Aloha! Thank you for participating with your four-generation family. We look forward to seeing everyone's smiles again, along with the sea turtles.
アロハ!AIKO様。
4世代家族でのご参加ありがとうございました。また皆様の笑顔にお会いできる日をウミガメとともにお待ちしてます。

Due to the tides and weather, the children were constantly floating, making it far from possible to walk on the sandy beach, which was disappointing. The tour program and the atmosphere with the attendants were good.
潮と天候の影響か、子供は常に浮いてる状態で、砂浜を歩くにはほど遠くて残念でした。
ツアーのプログラムやアテンドさん達の雰囲気は良かったです。

The scenery was amazing, but at this time of year, there are jellyfish, and about 5 or 6 people got stung. Of course, even on the bus during the transfer, I think it's important to inform people about the dangers more than before, as it can be dangerous! Children got stung more than adults, which is scary!
景色は最高でしたが、今の時期はクラゲがいて、5.,.6人ほど刺されました。
移動のバスの中も勿論のことツアー案内から、やはり危険は、以前より知らせないと、危ないと思いますよ!大人以上に子供も刺されましたが、怖いですよねー!

The morning was early, but I had a wonderful experience!! The sunrise was from the ocean. The water level was unexpectedly up to my waist, but personally, it didn't bother me at all. I was very satisfied with the service from the captain and crew. It was a great experience. I will use this service again!!
朝は早かったけれど、とても素晴らしい経験が出来ました!!
日の出は、海の中から。
予想外に腰までの水位でしたが、個人的には全く気にならず。
キャプテンやクルーのサービスに大満足。
とてもいい経験が出来ました。
また利用します!!
