I couldn't see the sandbar. サンドバーが見れなかった

Reviewed by: あいび

I signed up with the intention of leisurely walking on the sandbar. I thought I could jump around like in the photos posted. However, when I arrived, it was high tide, and I couldn't walk at all. It was disappointing that I ended up having to get into the water, even though I hadn't planned on it. I also felt that my information-gathering skills were lacking, as it was clearly stated that the sandbar couldn't be walked on in the afternoon, even though I participated in the morning...

That said, all the event staff were very nice, and even though I couldn't participate in snorkeling because I’m not good at it, they accommodated me by letting me ride a kayak and a speedboat, so I enjoyed that part. I thought the BBQ meal would be cooked on the sandbar, but it turned out to be a buffet style served on the boat. The meat was delicious, and the bone-in short ribs were my favorite flavor, so I had seconds multiple times.

I also didn't get to see any sea turtles. It seemed that those who participated in snorkeling were able to see them. Although it was called a "Heavenly Sea Tour," based on my experience on the date I attended (it rained a little too), I honestly didn't feel that way, and I thought it could have been the same at a nearby beach. I think it would be good if they clearly stated the potential downsides beforehand to manage expectations.

サンドバーをのんびり歩くつもりで申込みをしました。
掲載されてる写真のように、ジャンプしたりできるかと。
しかし、到着すると満潮で歩く事はできませんでした。
水に入るつもりもなかったのに、
水に入らざるを得ない状況になってしまったのも残念でした。
私の情報収集能力が欠けてたせいもあるのですが、
午後はサンドバーは歩けませんと大きく明記してあると、
午前に参加したのに…と思いました。
ただ、イベントスタッフの方はみんな良い人でしたし、
シュノーケリングが苦手で参加出来しなかったのですが、
カヤックに乗せてくれたり、スピードボードに乗せてくれたり、
いろいろ対応して頂けたので、その部分は楽しめました。
食事のBBQは、サンドバーで実際に焼いて楽しむのかと思いましたが、
出来上がってるものを船上でビュッフェスタイルで頂くものでした。
お肉は美味しくて、骨付きのカルビは大好きな味で、
何度もおかわりしました。
ウミガメも見れませんでした。
シュノーケリングに参加した人は見れたようです。
天国の海ツアーでしたが、私が参加した日時に関して言えば、
（雨も少し降りました）そんな感じは受けず、
近くの海でも同じかなと思えたのが正直な感想です。
参加する前の期待が大きくならないように、
悪い時の事も大きく明記してくれるといいかなと思いました。

Please be aware that there are differences in the service provided. 対応に差があるので注意です

Reviewed by: mika

I participated in the tour in January. Overall, I was satisfied with the content of the tour. It was the rainy season, but I had a great time. I felt safe while snorkeling because we had floats. I even got to see a sea turtle.

At the end of the tour, there was an announcement saying, "If you are satisfied, please consider tipping," so it's a good idea to have cash ready.

However, I was a bit disappointed with the staff's response. During the free time of the tour, the staff were taking photos of each group, but while other groups were posing and taking multiple shots, we were not approached at all. Later, we could purchase the photos taken, but the only one of us during our free time was a single shot taken from a distance, and it wasn't even a posed shot—it was a candid one.

Looking at the overall tour photos, it seemed that only families and groups of girls were being photographed, while there were very few pictures of couples.

(This is a subjective impression, but I felt a bit uncomfortable seeing the staff taking multiple photos of the all-girls groups while ignoring us. Haha.)

Even though we paid the same tour fee, it felt like there was a difference in treatment, so I think it's important to think carefully about the tip amount at the end.

1月に参加しました。ツアーの内容はおおむね満足です。雨季でしたが楽しく過ごせました。
シュノーケルも浮きを付けるので安心して行えました。ウミガメもみれました。
ツアーの最後に「満足できた場合はチップをお願いします」とアナウンスされるので、現金を用意した方が良いです。

ただスタッフの方の対応にちょっとがっかりでした。
ツアーの自由行動中に、スタッフの方がグループ毎に声をかけて写真を撮っていたのですが、他のグループはポーズをつけて何度も撮影していたのに、私達は声もかけられませんでした。
後から撮影写真をみて購入できますが、私達の自由行動中の写真は遠くから撮影された1枚だけでした。それもカメラ目線ですらなく隠し撮りです。
ツアー全体の写真をみても、なぜか家族連れや女の子のグループばかり撮影されていて、カップルの写真は少なかったです。

（主観的な感想ですが、スタッフの方が女の子だけのグループに声をかけて何枚も何枚も写真を撮っていたのは若干気持ち悪く感じてしまいました。笑）

同じようにツアー代金を払っていてもこんなふうに差をつけられるので、最後に払うチップ代金はよく考えた方が良いと思います。

Turtle watching in the beautiful sea. 綺麗な海にウミガメウォッチ

Reviewed by: ナチ公爵

If you come to Hawaii, you definitely want to visit a sandbar at least once! February can be quite chilly, so I signed up for an afternoon plan. On the day of the trip, I enjoyed the grandeur of being in the middle of the vast ocean with the water at about shin height. In the latter half, we went turtle watching. The BBQ lunch had a generous portion. The sea turtles came close, attracted by the food. They allocated enough time for us, so we were able to relax and enjoy ourselves.

ハワイに来たら一度はサンドバーに行きたい！
さすがに2月は寒いので午後からのプランに申し込む。
当日は脛ぐらいの位置の海面で広大な海のど真ん中で雄大さを楽しむ。
後半はウミガメウォッチ。
昼食のBBQは十分なボリューム。
餌目当てにウミガメが近寄ってきます。
充分な時間を配分してくれる為、ゆっくりできました。

It was more fun than I imagined!! 想像してた以上に楽しかった！！

Reviewed by: ちっち

I participated with four adults and my one-and-a-half-year-old nephew. I was hoping for low tide at the sandbar, but it was up to my knees and thighs. Still, the weather was great, and I was amazed at how beautiful it was! My nephew brought a child-sized float and had a blast floating around!

We played and had a BBQ on the boat! The hamburgers were absolutely delicious, and I even finished what my nephew left behind! The meat was freshly grilled, so it was incredibly tasty! My father is quite particular about food, but he keeps saying how good the hamburgers were since we returned home.

It was really delicious! They were considerate of my nephew, making his hamburger early and checking on him to keep him happy. Everyone was so kind to him! After the meal, we went sea turtle watching and snorkeling, which was also a lot of fun!

It started to drizzle a little, but it stopped quickly, and we enjoyed ourselves completely. The crew was fantastic, and it was such a fun tour! I'm really glad we booked this tour! My family is still reminiscing about our memories in Hawaii. Once my nephew is old enough to remember, I plan to book this tour again!

大人４人と１歳半の甥と一緒に参加しました。サンドバーはくるぶしくらいの干潮を願ってましたが、膝上、太ももくらいでした。それでも天気が良くてめっちゃ綺麗でびっくりしました！！甥っ子は、子供用の浮き輪を持参し、ぷかぷか浮かんで楽しんでくれていました！笑

Unfortunately, the sandbar had water levels around my thighs. Because it was cloudy, the water wasn't the beautiful blue color I had hoped for. Sadly, I also didn't see any sea turtles. This tour relies heavily on nature, so there's a strong element of luck involved. I think first-time visitors to Hawaii might enjoy other activities more. If the weather had been good, I believe it would have been an amazing tour!

It was cloudy, not rainy, on the day of the trip. I was happy to see more sea turtles than I expected. I even saw baby sea turtles! I thought the sandbar was a bit disappointing as it was only about waist-deep, making it feel more like an island. However, I was satisfied with the snorkeling and saw a lot of fish. If I could wish for anything, I would have liked to explore the sandbar properly and snorkel a bit longer. It was a little chilly that day, so I appreciate the consideration shown.

We were blessed with good weather! 天候に恵まれました！

Reviewed by: どんすけ

We visited Hawaii for our honeymoon and participated as a couple. We chose the timing that matched the lowest tide during our stay, but the water level was still a bit higher than our ankles. It was unfortunate that it wasn't a day when the sandbar fully appeared, but it was great that we were able to visit during a clear time after it had rained in the morning.

The day's flow was as follows:
- Picked up from the hotel
- Moved by boat (we had malasadas, and the view of Kualoa Ranch was beautiful)
- After docking, walked to the sandbar (the water level was about waist-high at first; wearing reef shoes is reassuring)
- Photo time at the sandbar (group photos were taken, and individual photos are also available for a fee)
- Returned to the boat for a meal (delicious, with seconds available, and the coffee was great!)
- Snorkeling (some groups had their meals afterward; there were plenty of fish, but the visibility was just okay. We could borrow wetsuits for free)
- Remaining time for marine activities (though it was brief, we could do stand-up paddleboarding)
- Returned to the port (a rainbow appeared)
- Transferred back to the hotel by bus.

Since there were mostly Japanese tourists and the guide spoke Japanese, we were able to relax and enjoy our time. Thank you very much.

新婚旅行でハワイに訪れ、夫婦で参加しました。
日時は事前に滞在する期間で一番、干潮のタイミングが合うときを選びましたが、それでも足首よりも少し高い位置の水位でした。完全にサンドバーが現れる干潮の日ではなく残念でしたが、午前中は雨が降っていたので運よく晴れた時間帯に訪れることができてよかったです。
一日の流れは、ホテルにお迎え
⇒船で移動（マラサダ食べる、クアロアランチがきれいにみえた）
⇒停泊後、船を下りてサンドバーまで歩く（最初は腰くらいの水位、リーフシューズがあると安心）
⇒サンドバーで記念撮影タイム（全体で記念撮影、個人写真もとってくれますが有料）
⇒船に戻って食事（おいしい、おかわりもできるし、コーヒーもおいしかった！）
⇒シュノーケリング（食事があとのグループもありました、魚はたくさんいましたが透明度はままあです。ウェットスーツを無料で借りれました）
⇒残り時間はマリンアクティビティ（ほんとちょっとでしたが、スタンドアップパドルもできました）
⇒港に帰る（虹が出た）⇒バスでホテルまで送迎、でした。
日本人観光客ばかりだったのと、ガイドさんが日本語OKなので安心して過ごすことができました。ありがとうございました。

I checked the low tide days as much as possible and made a reservation. Even in the shallowest areas, the water level reached about my calves.

I rented a GoPro from Japan in advance to participate, and I was able to take really good photos and videos, so I recommend preparing a waterproof camera. I remember that it was quite expensive to rent one on-site for this tour.

The staff were cheerful, fun, and kind, and they took a lot of photos for us.

Breakfast was a buffet, and I didn't have high expectations, but it was delicious.

I joined this tour because I wanted to see sea turtles, but unfortunately, when the boat left the sandbar and returned, I could only see a little bit of a shell from a distance... It was really disappointing... Other than that, it was a very enjoyable and satisfying tour. I want to try again someday!

なるべく引き潮の日を調べて予約しました。
一番浅いところでもふくらはぎくらいまで水位がありました。

予め、日本からGOPROをレンタルして参加しましたがとても良い写真と動画を撮ることができましたので、防水カメラを用意することをおすすめします。
このツアーで当日その場で借りることもできるそうですが、結構料金が高かったこと記憶しています。

スタッフの方々も明るく楽しく親切な方々で、写真もたくさん撮ってくれました。

朝食はバイキング形式で、あまり期待をしていなかったのですが美味しかったです。

ウミガメを見たかったのでこのツアーに参加したのですが、残念ながら今回は船がサンドバーを離れて戻る時に、遠くからほんの少し甲羅が見れたくらいでした…本当に残念です…
それ以外はとても楽しく満足できるツアーでした。
またいつかリベンジしたいです！

If you swim this will exceed your expectations if was fun watching the kids snorkel and we could tell them from the boat where the turtles were!

Reviewed by: がーこ

I was glad to encounter more sea turtles than I had imagined. The snorkeling was organized in a way where participants moved along the coral reef in a line, so I was focused on keeping pace with those in front, behind, and beside me, leaving me little room to leisurely enjoy the underwater scenery. It would have been nice to have a bit more space to take my time and enjoy it.

想像以上にたくさんのウミガメに出会えて良かったです。シュノーケリングはツアー参加者が連なる形で珊瑚礁に沿って進むスタイルだったので、前後左右の参加者のペースに合わせる事に精一杯でゆっくりと海中の景色を楽しむ余裕がありませんでした。もう少し間隔を空けてゆっくり楽しめたら良かったです。

Second visit to the sandbar. 2回目のサンドバー

I think many people hesitate to choose this option because it is relatively expensive compared to other tour companies, but I went with Captain Bruce again, just like last time.
- The buses and boats for pickup are new and clean.
- The staff are all very kind.
- They are apparently the only company that can take you right up to the sandbar by boat.
It was unfortunate that the weather was a bit cloudy (the photos don't come out well unless it's sunny), but I was very satisfied to be able to swim with sea turtles. My 5-year-old and 9-year-old children also had a lot of fun with the cheerful staff.
I haven't experienced other tour companies, but if I go to the sandbar again, I think I will use Captain Bruce next time as well. It seems that the sandbar is more visible in the afternoon.

他催行会社に比べて割高なため選択に迷う方が多いと思いますが、私は前回同様にキャプテン・ブルースで行ってきました。
・ピックアップ用のバスや船が新しく清潔
・スタッフの方が皆とても親切
・サンドバーの目の前まで船で入れる唯一の業者（らしい）
天候が曇り気味だったのは残念でしたが（写真は晴れないと綺麗に撮れません）、ウミガメと泳ぐこともできて大変満足です。5歳・9歳の子供も明るいスタッフさん達に沢山構って頂き、とても楽しそうでした。

About seven years ago, I participated in a sandbar tour. It was in September. I joined with my kindergarten son, and it became a wonderful memory...

This time, during my year-end and New Year trip, I went to Hawaii for the first time in seven years and participated in the sandbar tour again, but at this time of year, it was rainy, windy, and too cold in the water! For snorkeling, it was so cold that my kindergarten daughter couldn't even get in the water.

The adults were doing their best to get in, but if the weather could be predicted better, it might have been a more enjoyable tour! The staff were very kind, talking to everyone and sharing various stories, which made the tour time enjoyable, but it was still too cold for me.

It was a chilly January in Hawaii. The sandbar didn't appear, but I had a great time! 肌寒い1月のハワイ。砂洲は現れなかったけど楽しめました！

Reviewed by: なおや★

The sandbar, which was also used for filming Pirates of the Caribbean, is a place I wanted to visit in the best condition! I predicted the tidal conditions in Kaneohe Bay, hoping that the sandbar might appear, and decided to join the trip with that expectation.

The result was a complete disappointment. Not only was there no sandbar, but I was a bit disheartened to find the water up to my thighs.

However, there’s no doubt that the sea was beautiful, and the strange sensation of being in shallow water despite being offshore was nice.

I didn’t join without doing any research; I had considered the worst-case scenario, so while I was disappointed, I still had a good time.

Just a note, January in Hawaii can get cold when the sun goes behind the clouds! I was shivering while wrapped in a towel on the boat.

The hamburger for lunch tasted especially good, probably because I had it on the boat.

For those thinking of participating, I believe you’ll be satisfied if you join with the mindset of just wanting to see the beautiful sea, without too much expectation.

パイレーツオブカリビアンの撮影にも使用されたというサンドバー。最高の状態で行ってみたい！と思い、カネオヘ湾の潮の状態を予測し、もしかしたらサンドバーが現れるかも！と期待して参加しました。

結果は、惨敗でした。サンドバーどころか、太ももまで漬かるレベルで少しガッカリ。

でも、綺麗な海である事は間違いなく、沖合いにも関わらず浅瀬という不思議な感覚は、良かったと思っています。

何も調べずに参加した訳ではなく、最悪のケースも想定して行ったので、ガッカリではありますが充分楽しめました。

ただ、1月のハワイは太陽が陰ると寒い！ブルブル震えながら船の上でタオルに包まれてました。

ランチのハンバーガーは、船の上で頂いたからか、とても美味しく感じました。

これから参加しようと思っている方は、期待しずぎず、綺麗な海を見に行く感覚で参加されたら満足されると思います。

Reviewed by: ばっつん

I participated in a tour on the morning of January 22.

The flow of the tour is simply as follows:
1. Sandbar walk
We got off the boat at a spot where the water was waist-deep and walked. During this season, it can be cold if the sun isn't shining, and the sea doesn't look very beautiful when it's cloudy.
2. Light meal
A buffet on the boat with bread, salad, and fruits. The taste was average.
3. Snorkeling
After a lecture on how to wear the mask, how to breathe, and precautions about the coral, we swam for about 20 minutes. We saw beautiful fish and coral, but there were no turtles.
4. Free time
Time to play freely using bodyboards and floaties. However, it was cold, and many people went back up to the boat. Those who didn't participate in snorkeling were taken on a cruise during this time.

Overall assessment:
- The staff's response was top-notch.
- When it's cloudy, the sea is not beautiful at all and it's cold.

Considering the price, tips, and the season, it felt about right.

1/22の朝からのツアーに参加してきました。

ツアーの流れは、簡単には以下の通り。
①サンドバーウォーク
腰の高さの位置までの場所で船から降り、歩く。この時期だと陽が当たらないと寒く、曇りだと対して海が綺麗に見えない。
②軽食
船の上でパン、サラダ、フルーツなどのブッフェ。味は普通。
③シュノーケル
マスクの付け方、呼吸の仕方、サンゴの注意点などのレクチャーの後、20分程度平泳ぎ。綺麗な魚とサンゴが見れました。亀はいませんでした。
④フリータイム
ボディーボード、浮き輪などを使って自由に遊ぶ時間。ただ、寒くて船の上に上がる人が多い。シュノーケルに参加してない人は、ここでクルーズに連れて行ってもらえた。

総評
・スタッフの対応は最高レベル
・曇りだと、海が全然綺麗じゃない&寒い

価格とチップ、時期を考えると、こんなもんかなぁという感じでした。

We participated with a total of nine people, from a five-month-old baby to my 64-year-old father and mother. It rained on the way to the sandbar, and when we got off, the water was up to our knees. My father said he would wait on the boat, but we forced him to come along, and in the end, he said he was glad he went! I think it's a good idea to check the tide schedule in advance. The BBQ was delicious, and the kids were very satisfied.

5か月の赤ちゃんから64歳の父、母まで総勢9名で参加しました。
サンドバーまでの船の途中で雨が降り、
降りるときも膝上あたりまであったため、
父は船で待っている、と言っていましたが、
無理やり連れて行き、最後には、行けてよかった！と言っていました。
潮の満ち引きはあらかじめ確認しておいたほうがいいと思います。
BBQもおいしく、子供達も大満足でした。

Cheese with the beautiful sea! 綺麗な海でハイチーズ！

Reviewed by: ワンちゃん

The transparent marine blue sea.
However, on this day, the temperature was unthinkably low for Hawaii.
I could only stay in the water for about five minutes because it was so cold.
In front of the camera, I smiled broadly and said "cheese!" without showing how I felt!
I made some great memories.
The BBQ lunch made by a voluptuous woman was delicious!

透きとおるマリンブルーの海。
ただこの日はハワイではありえない程の気温。
寒くて５分くらいしか海に入っていられなかったのだ。
カメラの前ではそれを感じさせない満面の笑顔でハイチーズ！
思い出作りをしてきました。
ボリュウミーな女性が作ってくれたＢＢＱランチは美味しかったよー。

I was disappointed. がっかりでした

Reviewed by: tomo

It seems that the sandbar doesn't appear every time! It looks like you can only stand on the beautiful sandy beach during low tide, and that information wasn't provided. Just before arriving at the sandbar, I was told that I could go in up to my knees today! I was looking forward to standing on the sandbar, so it was disappointing.

Also, it mentioned that there would be a BBQ lunch, but it was just hamburgers, beans, and snacks! I was imagining meat and seafood, so I was very disappointed. I felt quite let down by participating in this tour.

サンドバーが毎回現れるわけではないそうです！引き潮じゃないと綺麗な砂浜の上には立てないみたいでその情報が掲載されてなかったような、、
サンドバーに着く直前に今日は膝上までですが入れますとのこと！サンドバーに立てるのを楽しみにして申し込みましたが残念でした。
またBBQランチ付きと買いてありましたがハンバーガーとビーンズとスナックだけでした！お肉、海鮮などを想像してたのにとても残念でした。このツアーに参加してとても残念に感じました。

Heaven's Sea Snorkeling Tour 天国の海 シュノーケリングツアー

Reviewed by: ひかひか

First of all, it was very reassuring that the tour guide could speak Japanese. Additionally, everyone was very cheerful, bright, and friendly, which made for wonderful memories. Snorkeling was a bit scary at first, but the day we went had excellent water clarity, the weather was great, and I was able to see many beautiful fish and sea turtles, allowing me to forget my fears and enjoy the experience. The staff also spoke to me a lot in Japanese, which made me feel very welcomed. I would love to book this tour again when I come back to Hawaii.

まずはじめに、ツアーの方が日本語ができることがとても心強かったです。
また、皆さんとても陽気で明るく親身に接してくれたのでとても良い思い出となりました。
シュノーケリングは最初怖かったですが、行った日がとても海の透明度が高い日で、天気も良く、たくさんの綺麗な魚やウミガメを見ることができ、怖さを忘れ楽しむことができました。
スタッフの方も日本語でたくさん話しかけてくれたので、とても親しみが持てました。
またハワイに来た際には申し込みたいツアーです。

Encountered a sea turtle! 海ガメに遭遇！

Reviewed by: piko

I prepared myself for the coldness of the sea in January, but the weather was surprisingly perfect and even a bit hot. The pickup was on time, and the staff were all very good! Justin's guidance was excellent. The female staff member, Crystal, was beautiful and captivating. Captain Alan was also very kind! I'm glad I chose this tour. The lunch with the bone-in short ribs was delicious! There was plenty of free time, and you can rent beach gear, so you can fully enjoy the emerald-clear sea. I want to go again during low tide. Definitely planning to return!

1月で海の冷たさ寒さを覚悟して挑みましたが、なんとサイコーの天気で暑いくらいでした。
ピックアップも時間通りでスタッフさんたちもとても良かったです！
ジャスティンのガイドはサイコーでした。
女性スタッフクリスタルもキレイで見とれるほど。キャプテンのアランもとても親切でしたよ！このツアーを選んで良かったです。
ランチの骨付きカルビおいしかったです！
自由時間も長く、ビーチグッズもレンタルできるので、エメラルドな透き通った海を十分堪能できます。今度は干潮の時間に行って見たいです。リピ決定！

The best memories. 最高の思い出

Reviewed by: k71

The morning of the day was a bit chilly, but as the sun came out, it warmed up and became the perfect day for a beach outing. The guide took photos for us, which we could download, allowing us to preserve our memories. The breakfast was also excellent, served buffet-style.

当日の朝はやや寒かったですが、日が照ってくると暖かくなり最高の海水浴日和でした。
ガイドの方が写真を撮ってくださり、それをダウンロードできるようになっており、思い出をかたちに残すことができました。
朝食もビュッフェ形式で最高です。

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

Can't go wrong.

Reviewed by: Chris

Friendly staff, beautiful surroundings, not too long, not too short. Worth the dollars. If same company, I took a Capt. Bob zodiac adventure Kauai about 30+ years ago, great time then as well. I think Capt. Bob was the actual Capt. of our zodiac.

It would have been amazing to see the sea turtles up close. It was a bit chilly, which was unfortunate. But it was incredibly beautiful and wonderful. The guide was also very engaging, and I had a great time. Thank you!
