I love the ocean. I love the sandbar.
Surrounded by a 360-degree emerald green sea under the blue sky, it truly felt like paradise. This is an activity you should definitely participate in when you go to Hawaii! The half-day went by in a flash, and I didn't want to leave. I was also moved when the turtles came right up close. I want to join again!
海大好き。サンドバー大好き。
青い空に360度エメラルドグリーンの海に囲まれたそこはまさに天国。ハワイに行ったら参加すべきアクティビティーです!半日があっという間で帰りたくなかったー。亀もすぐそこまで来て感動しました。また参加したいと思います。

I went to the heavenly sea in early April. The guide's explanations were thorough, and it was a very enjoyable time. From the boat, I could see what looked like a shell, and during snorkeling, a sea turtle came close to me. If you go to Hawaii, it's definitely worth experiencing. ✨
4月上旬に天国の海に行きました。
ガイドさんの説明も丁寧でとても楽しいひとときでした。
船からは甲羅らしき物が見えて
シュノーケリングでは海亀ちゃんが寄って来てくれました。

This time, I participated in the early morning plan. Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy. However, thanks to the sun that occasionally peeked out, I was able to see the beautiful sea. I also got to see a sea turtle, and the staff were cheerful and great. However, since there is always a time limit, I would like to choose a plan that allows for a bit more relaxation next time.
今回は早朝プランで参加しました。天気はあいにくの曇天。でも時折見せる太陽のおかげで綺麗な海を見ることができました。ウミガメを見ることも出来て、またスタッフさんも明るく良かったです。ただどうしても時間に限りがあるので、次回はもう少しゆっくりできるプランにしたいと思います。

At the sandbar, the seawater level was up to my calves, which was not what I expected at all. However, the fun we had playing a sort of beach volleyball there has become a wonderful memory. The instructors did a great job of inviting my husband and me, who were having a hard time blending in with the team. At first, I was embarrassed, but gradually my husband and I found ourselves mingling and having a great time with the younger crowd. Thank you very much.
サンドバーでは、少し海水面が、ふくらはぎまであり、決して期待通りではなかったのですが、そこでビーチバレーもどきをした時の楽しさが良き思い出に成っています。あの時なかなかチームに溶け込めずにいた私と夫をインストラクターの人たちがうまく誘ってくださり、初めは恥かしかったのですが、だんだん私も夫も若い人に混ざっていつのまにか騒いでいました。有難うございました。

The weather was nice, and I was worried about the water level for the sound bar, but I was amazed to find it was about ankle-deep. I took a lot of photos. For lunch, we had hamburgers on the boat, and they were delicious! The Japanese female guide was very interesting and a great person, which made the experience even more enjoyable. On the way to the snorkeling point, we were thrilled to see sea turtles and manta rays. There were plenty of fish while snorkeling, and I had a lot of fun. I highly recommend this tour. I would love to go again when I visit Hawaii.
天気も良く、サウンドバーになるか心配していましたが、足首上くらいの水位で、感動しました。

I had high expectations since it was ranked number one, but when I actually went, it felt like just a regular beautiful beach without any sandy areas. It didn't wow me at all, and there was hardly any explanation, making it feel like a really long time. I think it was the biggest disappointment of my week-long trip. It felt like a waste of time.
ここでランキング1位になっていたので、すごく期待していったけど実際に行ってみると
砂浜もなくて普通のきれいな海、という感じでした。
うわーって全然ならなくて、説明とかもほとんどなく、すごく時間が長く感じた。
この1週間の旅行で1番の失敗だったと思う。時間を無駄にした感じだった。

We sincerely apologize for any misunderstanding regarding the tour you participated in.
Regarding the "Angel's Sea Sandbar Turtle Watching Cruise with Breakfast/BBQ Lunch! by All Hawaii Cruise / Early Morning Plan with Snack Breakfast," we believe the confusion arose because the activity titles are unified under the early morning plan (snack breakfast) and the recommended plan (BBQ lunch). The early morning plan you participated in only includes a snack breakfast, and the BBQ lunch is not included in this plan. We are truly sorry for the inconvenience caused.
We will take this as a lesson to prevent similar issues from occurring in the future.
Thank you for taking the time to share your valuable experience with us despite your busy schedule.

I checked the low tide times online and signed up for the morning session. It was great that the sand was visible only in the morning. However, the wind was too strong, and it was really cold...
As for snorkeling, it seemed fine going out, but coming back required a lot of energy due to the wind, so I gave up on snorkeling since I wasn't confident in my swimming skills. The weather was bad, so I hope to try snorkeling next time when the weather is nice.
ネットで干潮時間を調べて午前の部に申し込みました。午前中だけ、砂が観れる状態だったので、良かったです。ただ、風が強すぎて寒くて寒くて…
シュノーケリングも、風の影響で行きはいいけど戻ってくる時にかなり体力がいるようだったので、泳ぎに自信がない為、シュノーケリングをあきらめました。天気が悪かったので、次は天気がいい時にいければシュノーケリングにも挑戦したいなと思いました。

I participated with my parents, siblings, and niece, a total of six people. My mother said her body hurts when it gets cold, so she didn't leave the boat, but the staff were very considerate, and it seems she enjoyed herself. My niece, father (80 years old), husband, and brother were having fun playing beach volleyball. It was my first experience to see how shallow the sea gets in the middle. We also saw a lot of sea turtles, which were adorable. The snorkeling afterward was in unexpectedly deep water, and it felt a bit cold when we returned to the boat. My niece seemed to really enjoy snorkeling and apparently saw some turtles too; she complained that the time was too short, but for us, it was enough. Haha. Anyway, it was a very fun tour. At the end, the main Japanese staff made a comment that seemed to ask everyone for tips (though it was said in a cheerful way), which felt a bit excessive. Since it seemed everyone gave something, it might have been quite a substantial amount.
両親と、兄弟、姪っ子を連れて6名で参加しました。
母は、冷えると体が痛いといって、ボートから離れませんでしたが、スタッフのみなさんが気遣ってくれて、楽しめたようです。
姪っ子や、父(80歳)夫、弟は、ビーチバレーに興じていました。
海の真ん中が、あんなに浅瀬になるなんて、初めての体験でした。
ウミガメもたくさんみられて、かわいかったです。その後のシュノーケルは、思いのほか深い海で、ボートに戻ると、ちょっと寒かった。
姪っ子は、シュノーケルがとても気に入った様子で、亀もみられたらしく、時間が短すぎ~とぼやいてましたが、われわれにとっては、十分です。笑
とにかく、とても楽しいツアーでした。
最後に、メインの日本人のスタッフが、みんなにチップをせがむような話(明るい言い方でしたが)をしたのは、ちょっと行き過ぎな感じがありました。全員渡してたっぽいので、相当な金額なのではないでしょうか。

I participated in the half-day course. The leader was also Japanese and a very friendly and interesting person, so I had a great time. For those who wanted to go snorkeling, it was an option, and I was glad I participated because I got to see a lot of fish. The sandwiches were delicious! On the way back, I didn't change and wore my clothes for the long bus ride, so it was cold. I thought it would have been better if they had provided bath towels.

Did together with my son and had a blast. Make sure you are one of the first into the ocean when you start the snorkeling since the sea turtles will be scared away once the crowd hits. Managed to be third in and took 4K video of a huge turtle on the GoPro.

At first, I was a bit worried because it was cloudy, but it cleared up later and was really beautiful! There was a sea turtle that was very friendly with the staff and came really close to the boat; it was so cute!!
Recently, it seems that more people have been bothering sea turtles, and things have become stricter, which is unfortunate.
I thought snorkeling might be a little scary at first, but the moment I saw the underwater world, I completely forgot about my fears! You definitely should try it.
The staff were all fun, the scenery was amazing, and if I get the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would love to participate again.
By the way, it gets really cold after snorkeling, so it's better to have a thick bath towel and other things. You can borrow a blanket, but I think it's best to bring something that can get wet.
最初ちょっと曇ってるかなぁと不安でしたが途中から晴れてきて、とっても綺麗でした!海亀も、スタッフの方にとても慣れている子がいて、船のすごく近くに来てくれて、すっごくかわいかったです!!
最近海亀にイタズラしたりする人が増えて色々厳しくなったりしているようで、残念です。
シュノーケルも、最初ちょっと怖いかも!って思ってましたが、海の中をみたし瞬間全然気にならなくなりました!
絶対やったほうがいいです。

The event that was supposed to be fun turned out differently... The kids got seasick. One dropped out before boarding. Just when we were about to snorkel in the sea, another one got seasick and dropped out. We participated as a group of four, but none of us could get into the water... We only saw dolphins from a distance... However, it seems that a large pod of dolphins came that day, and the other participants were happy. It seemed to be a bit tough for the kids who are not used to traveling.

I was woken up early in the morning by a wake-up call, and my kids were grumpy as we bounced around on the bus for about an hour. We arrived on the West Coast and set sail with a high-energy instructor and a group of nice guys. To our surprise, we encountered a pod of dolphins just three minutes in, and we were instructed to jump in!
I thought the dolphins would be easy to spot in the clear water since they are large, but visibility was limited, and you couldn't tell they were nearby. Following the instruction to look down, I continued swimming and, sure enough, there was a pod of dolphins right below us! We enjoyed swimming with the dolphins for about ten minutes, wondering if it was really this easy to see them.
Next, we moved to the sea turtle point. There were so many fish that if you fed them, they would swarm around you. Those who wanted to have fun enjoyed marine sports while swimming and spotted sea turtles. It was moving to see them swimming leisurely, seemingly oblivious to the humans around.
I wanted my 5-year-old and 3-year-old to try swimming with the sea turtles, but since it was their first time swimming in the ocean, snorkeling was too much for them, and they quickly got back on the boat. Even from the boat, we could see dolphins swimming right below us and turtles occasionally popping their heads above the surface, making the boat ride itself a great memory. I hope they can practice swimming and try again.
A beautiful photographer was also on board, and she captured stunning photos for us (for an additional fee). Overall, I was very satisfied! However, since we are dealing with nature, there's no guarantee you'll see them, but this tour has a high probability of encounters.
早朝からモーニングコールで起こされ、子供も不機嫌なままバスで揺られること1時間ほど
西海岸に到着し、ハイテンションなインストラクターとナイスガイ軍団とともに出港 なんと3分でイルカの群れに遭遇し、飛び込め!の指示が!
イルカは大きいので澄んだ海の中ならすぐに見えるだろうと思いきや、やはり視界に限界があり、そばにいないとわからない 下を見て!の指示に従い泳ぎ続けると、たしかに真下にイルカのむ群れが!こんなにEasyに見られていいのかと思いながら10分ほど皆でイルカとの遊泳を楽しみました。
さらに移動してウミガメポイントへ。ここは魚がたくさんいて餌をやろうものならそれこそ入れ食い状態。で、楽しみたい人たちはマリンスポーツを楽しみながら遊泳し、ウミガメ発見。人間など眼中にないかのごとく悠々と泳ぐさまに感動しました。
5歳と3歳のこどもがウミガメとの遊泳にチャレンジしてもらおうと思いましたがいかんせんまともに海で泳ぐのが初めてではシュノーケルは無理ですぐに船にあがってしまいました。船の上からでもま真下を泳ぐイルカやたまに顔を水面に出すカメを見ることができ、また、乗船自体もいい思い出になったようです。水泳の練習をして再チャレンジを期待したいところです。
船には美人カメラマンも乗船し、見事な写真の数々をデータにしてもらえました。(別料金)
全体として大満足!ただし、相手は自然なので必ずあえるとは限らないが、このツアーがかなりのか確率で会えるとのことです。

In a word, it was amazing! The area near the sandbar is a wonderful place that has been used for Hollywood movie shoots. The water is crystal clear and truly beautiful, and being able to anchor a boat there to go snorkeling, play volleyball, and watch sea turtles... such a precious experience is hard to come by. The hamburger lunch we had on the boat was also exceptional. The tour guides were all cheerful and friendly, making it a tour I would definitely want to join again. Even if you feel the tour is a bit pricey, it is absolutely worth the money. If you're unsure, I highly recommend it.
By the way, we were picked up around 9 AM at the Sheraton bus stop and rode the bus for about an hour (for some reason, we had to wait for a long time right after we started). After that, we headed for about 10 minutes by boat to reach the stunning sandbar. After enjoying some light snorkeling practice and volleyball at the sandbar, we moved to the next area (where we will watch sea turtles, and you can encounter so many of them!). We spent about an hour snorkeling over the coral reef (some areas are quite deep!). We dove from the boat and had fun playing with the tour guides as well. This snorkeling experience was a huge hit with my daughter and mother who joined me, and it became an unforgettable and precious experience. I now have more activities I want to participate in when I go to Hawaii!
一言で表すと最高!でした。
サンドバー付近はハリウッド映画のロケにも使用された素晴らしいエリアで、
海が透き通っていて本当に綺麗で、そんな場所に船を停めてシュノーケリングしたり、バレーしたりウミガメウォッチをしたり・・・あんな貴重な体験はなかなかできません。
船上で食べたハンバーガーランチもまた格別でした。
添乗員の方はみなさん陽気で気さくでまたぜひ参加したいと思えるツアーだと思います。
このツアーは少々高いと感じてもお金を払う価値は十分あります。
迷われているのならぜひともおすすめしたいです。
ちなみに、私たちは朝9時頃にシェラトンのバス停でピックアップしてもらい、バスで小一時間ほど揺られ(何故か出発してすぐの場所で長らく待機させられましたが・・・)そこから船で10分ほど向かった先に絶景のサンドバーが現れました。
サンドバーで軽くシュノーケリングの練習やバレーなどを楽しんだあと次のエリアに移動して(そこでウミガメウォッチをしますが、本当にたくさんのウミガメに出会えます!)
サンゴ礁の上を(深さのあるところはかなり深い)1時間ほどシュノーケリングして過ごします!
船からダイブしたりと、添乗員の方とも一緒になって遊んだり楽しみますww
このシュノーケリングが一緒に参加した娘や母にも大好評で忘れられない貴重な体験になったようです。
ハワイに行ったら必ず参加させてもらいたいアクティビティが増えました!!

It was cloudy at Sandbar, but when the sun peeked through the clouds, the cerulean blue sea looked absolutely beautiful. Truly stunning! The cloudy weather kept the sea temperature down, making it a bit chilly. Later, while having lunch with burgers, it started pouring rain, and I was shivering from the cold. After finishing my meal, I moved to see the sea turtles in the rain. I was thrilled to see many sea turtles and several manta rays at the same time! When we moved on to go snorkeling, I encountered a sea turtle swimming leisurely right in front of me! It was quite cold, but our guide, Gene, provided interesting commentary, making it the best tour where I could fully enjoy both the sea turtles and manta rays!
サンドバーでは曇りでしたが、雲の切れ間から日がさすと、セルリアンブルーの海がとても綺麗でした。本当に美しい!曇りで海水温が上がらず、少し冷たかったです。その後、お昼のバーガーを食べる時に土砂降りになり、寒さで震えました。食べ終わって雨の中、ウミガメを見に移動。たくさんのウミガメと同時に、何匹ものマンタを見ることが出来て大興奮でした。また移動してシュノーケリングに潜ると目の前にウミガメがゆったりと泳いでいるのに遭遇!大分と寒かったですが、ガイドのジーンさんの解説も面白く、ウミガメもマンタも満喫できた最高のツアーでした!

I went out with my brother and it was our first time going to the West Side. we absolutely loved it!
The vessel is brand new and it comfortably accommodates all guest. The crew is very knowledgeable and professional, after the safety briefing they served us a continental breakfast, with a nice variety of fresh fruits and cakes.
By the moment we left the harbor we could already see lots of wild Hawaiian dolphins swimming close to the boat. We were lucky enough to even spot 4 humpback whales, if you are visiting the Island during the winter months you will have big chances of seeing them also.
We've stopped at Makaha Caverns to snorkel. It's absolutely beautiful! The guide was swimming with us around the area and we surrounded by turtles and beautiful colorful fishes.
Lunch was served right after snorkel time, we could make our own sandwiches and choose from barbecue pork, tuna salad, deli meats, cheese, chips and pasta salad. Delicious!
It was a delightful morning, this snorkel tour was amazing! Definitely recommend Hawaii Nautical to everyone seeking for a good time in paradise!

My daughter told me about this tour when I was planing my trip to Hawaii. I booked it through hawaiiactivities.com website and I had no problems. They even called me one day prior to my activity to remind me of my pick up time and location.
The shuttle was there on time to pick me up and during the drive and took us the check-in location. After the safety briefing we started the tour.
The crew was really nice and informative. They are very professional and committed to provided us a unforgettable experience.
While waiting for our turn to go, we spend some time snorkeling and relaxing on the boat, Maunalua Bay is a paradise.
Once underwater you have a guide taking care of you during the whole time. It's so wonderful to see all the marine life coming right next to you, I saw dozens of colorful fishes and a lot of turtles.
The underwater scooter was for sure one of the coolest thing I have ever done.

Even my older child with pool experience and my second grader managed to keep up. A year later, they still haven't forgotten, so it seems like it will be a lifelong memory.
プール経験のある年長と小2のこどもも何とかついて行けました。1年たっても 忘れていないので一生の思い出になりそうです。
Thank you for participating. We're glad you enjoyed it. We look forward to your next participation!
ご参加頂きましてありがとうございました。お楽しみ頂けて何よりです。またのご参加をお待ちしております!
