More than one-third of the participants were stung by jellyfish. It should be possible to take precautions such as wearing rash guards in advance. The sea is beautiful, but there weren't many fish, and it was murky, so we left early. For those who have experienced snorkeling in Okinawa, this may feel lacking.
During peak times, more than 60 people participate, so the boat can get very crowded during meal times and when entering the water.
参加者の3分の1以上がクラゲに刺されました。事前にラッシュガードの着用など徹底できるはずです。海は綺麗ですが、魚はあまりおらず、濁っていたので早々に引き上げました。沖縄方面を経験している方には物足りないシュノーケリングです。
ピーク時だと60人以上が参加するため、食事時や入水時など船上は大混雑です。

When my family and I first got to the dock we were greeted by the friendly boat crew. They were very personable and caring. On the adventure, we made our way to the sandbar and were able to snorkel, paddleboard, canoe, and relax on the water deck. The sandbar was perfect to stand on and was not deep. The reef was beautiful to look at while snorkeling. My family and I paid extra for the intertube and banana boat, this experience was AWESOME!! You were asked what speed you would like the ride. We wore life jackets and we felt very safe even though this was an extreme water activity. The live music was wonderful, while the overall atmosphere was family oriented. This was our favorite excursion!! If you want a day to play in the water and have fun with the family, this is the excursion for you.

I participated on July 20, 2023.
The wind was a bit strong, but the weather was clear, and I thoroughly enjoyed snorkeling at the sandbar and Half Moon Reef.
The sandbar was shallow enough to reach my knees, and I had fun taking photos and practicing snorkeling. The water clarity was amazing.
The BBQ hamburger lunch was incredibly delicious, and as expected, American hamburgers are exceptional.
While snorkeling at Half Moon Reef, I was able to see many beautiful fish around the coral reef.
2023.7.20に参加しました。
風が少し強かったですが天気は快晴で、サンドバーとハーフムーンリーフのシュノケーリングを満喫しました。
サンドバーは膝下が浸かる位の深さで、写真を撮ったり、シュノーケリングの練習をしたりして楽しみました。海の透明度が凄かったです。
お昼のBBQハンバーガーランチはパティがめちゃくちゃ美味しかったです。やっぱり、アメリカのハンバーガーは絶品です。
ハーフムーンリーフのシュノーケリングは珊瑚礁の回りをシュノーケリングして、綺麗な魚を沢山見る事ができました。

The bus picked us up right in front of the hotel, which was very helpful. The inside of the bus was cold, just like "theBUS," so I recommend bringing a jacket!
Since it was an early morning plan, I had a light breakfast at the hotel, but on the boat, they provided drinks, spam onigiri, snacks, and fruits. The hot coffee was really delicious! The couple sitting next to us brought sandwiches, and I thought it would have been nice to enjoy that on the boat instead of at the hotel.
The staff who spoke Japanese kindly explained about the life jackets, how to play, and movies filmed in the area.
I checked the tide online and made a reservation, but the tide level during my session was just about waist-high! It was my first time trying SUP, and since the water was only waist-deep, it was easy to retry after falling, and I had a lot of fun.
While I was playing with my smartphone in a waterproof case, a friendly staff member offered to take my picture and captured me standing on the board! (There was even a moment when I lost my balance and fell, which was funny.)
During snorkeling, I had a great encounter with sea turtles and fish.
After getting out of the water, it was cold, and the young man next to me was shivering a lot. I recommend bringing a jacket, not just a T-shirt, like in the bus! Also, some hotels lend out bath towels, so it might be good to ask about that.
After getting off the boat, I was able to change at a nearby restroom. I had a really enjoyable experience and was very satisfied.
ホテルの前までバスで迎えに来ていただいて、助かります。
車内は「theBUS」同様 寒かったので、
羽織りを持っていくことをオススメします!
早朝プランだったので、ホテルで軽く朝食を食べてきていましたが
船では、ドリンク・スパムおにぎり・スナック・フルーツなどを用意してくれていました。
ホットコーヒーがとても美味しかったです!
同乗していたご夫婦は、サンドイッチなども持参されていて、
船上で気持ちがいいし、ホテルで食べずにそれもアリだったな〜!と思いました。
日本語を話せるスタッフさんが、
救命具のこと、遊び方、周辺で撮影された映画のことなど優しく説明してくれました。
一応潮の満ち引きはネットで調べて予約をしましたが、
私が参加した回は潮の高さはちょうど腰ほどでした!
SUPは初挑戦でしたが、落ちても潮が腰の高さなので
リトライしやすく、とても楽しかったです。
防水ケースにスマホを入れて遊んでいたら、
気さくなスタッフの方が「写真撮りますよ」と声をかけてくださって、
ボードの上に立っている姿を撮影してくれました!(バランス崩して落ちる瞬間も笑)
シュノーケリングでは、ウミガメ、魚にバッチリ逢えました。
海から上がったあとは寒くて、隣の青年がめちゃくちゃ震えていました。
Tシャツだけでなく、バス内同様 羽織りの持参がオススメです…!
また、バスタオルを貸し出してくれるホテルもあるので聞いてみると良いかと思います。
船を降りた後、すぐ近くのお手洗いで着替えができました。

The highlight of this trip for me was definitely the sandbar. Unfortunately, the weather was rainy, but I was still able to enjoy myself thoroughly.
While snorkeling, you can take underwater photos with your iPhone using a waterproof case. I even managed to capture a photo of a sea turtle.
Depending on the weather, it can get quite cold, so I recommend bringing a bath towel. As for other essentials, just cash for tips, your iPhone, and a waterproof case should be enough. I also brought a change of clothes, but there isn't a designated place to change, so we ended up wrapping ourselves in bath towels on the way back.
They also provide some light snacks, spam musubi, and soft drinks, so I think a light breakfast will suffice.
There was also a Japanese guide who was very kind and helpful.
I definitely think you won't regret participating!!!
今回の旅行で1番楽しみにしていたのが、このサンドバーでした。天気は残念ながら雨でしたが、十分楽しむことができました。
シュノーケリング中、防水ケースを使えば自分のiPhoneで水中の写真も撮れます。ウミガメの写真も撮れました。
天気によってはかなり体が冷えるので、バスタオルを持って行ったほうがいいと思います。他の持ち物はチップ用の現金、iPhone、防水ケースさえあればどうにかなります。着替えも持って行きましたが、着替える場所が用意されているわけではないので私達はバスタオルにくるまったまま帰りました。
ちょっとしたスナック菓子、スパムむすび、ソフトドリンクも準備していただけるので朝ご飯は軽く済ませるくらいで平気だと思います。
日本人のガイドさんもいらっしゃって、とても親切にしていただきました。

I went stand-up paddleboarding at the sandbar. It was a lot of fun. After that, I went snorkeling. The last time I participated, we moved a bit further by boat, but this time we walked from the sandbar to a slightly deeper area. Unfortunately, there weren't many fish, which was disappointing. I preferred the previous location.

I checked the low tide in Hawaii and participated in a tour at the time it was at its lowest during my stay. The tide goes out around 8:30, so I was picked up at 5:45. After picking up other participants in the city, we arrived at the sea before 8:00.
After boarding, we headed to the sandbar. The captain provided explanations in English, which were quite fast and hard to understand, but a female staff member explained in Japanese for the Japanese participants.
At the sandbar, we spent the first 45 minutes playing in the water on stand-up paddleboards. The water depth that day was about 20 cm. After that, we put on well-floated life jackets and went snorkeling along the coral reef. There weren't many brightly colored fish, but a turtle came close, although we were told not to touch it.
We returned to Waikiki before noon, allowing us to enjoy more activities like meals and the pool for half a day. On the boat, there was one spam onigiri, chips, and drinks available.
ハワイの干潮を確かめて、今回のハワイ滞在中で一番下がる時間を確認してツアーに参加しました。8時半頃に引くので、5時45分のピックアップでした。
市内の他の参加客のピックアップして8時前に海に到着しました。
乗船後、サンドバーに向かいました。キャプテンは英語の説明で、結構早口で理解しづらかったですが、女性のスタッフが日本語で日本人参加客に説明してくれました。
サンドバーについて、最初の45分はスタンドアップパドルボートでの水遊びでした。この日は20cmほどの水深でした。
その後、しっかりしたよく浮くライフジャケットを着けて、珊瑚礁に沿ってシュノーケリングしました。明るい色の魚は少ない状態でしたが、カメは触ってはいけないのですが、当たりそうなところに上がってきてくれました。

There are a lot of amazing reviews, but I didn't find it to be that great.
Reason 1: "The boat is too small, and there isn't enough space to change or sit." Since this is a quite profitable tour, I wish they would use a bigger and more functional boat. Even when it starts to rain, if there are many customers, there isn't enough space for everyone to get under the roof.
Reason 2: "They don't lend wetsuits." Since we swim in quite deep water, I think they should provide wetsuits for safety. However, as mentioned earlier, the boat is small and there are no showers. Improvements are needed for both the boat itself and safety management.
The hamburger was similar to Mos Burger. It was tasty, but it felt pretty average.
The bus, like others have mentioned in their reviews, was cold. It would be nice if we could take our time changing on the boat, but the boat's restroom is cramped, making it difficult to change. There are no showers on the boat either.
The time we could swim was not very long. We saw turtles, but there weren't many fish. The sandbar wasn't as heavenly as one might expect, and it wasn't that stunningly beautiful.
Reason 3: The timing is too late. If they departed earlier, I think there would be more fish, but we arrive at the sandbar close to noon, so I believe the timing is too late. By the time we start snorkeling, the sea has already begun to get murky. It would be better to leave around 7 AM.
The guide (?), a Japanese woman, was very kind, but she was in a bikini from start to finish, which made me wonder, "Why?" The foreign female staff member was also in a thong bikini. She has a great figure, but I don't think it's necessary to be in a bikini the whole time (especially on the boat). Is the bikini style part of the service? That must be tough.
ものすごくよい口コミが多いですが、それほどでもなかったです。
その理由1 「船が小さすぎて着替える場所も座る場所も十分ではない」ということ。かなり儲かっているツアーなので、もっとでかくて機能的な船にしてほしい。
雨が降ってきても、客が多いと全員が屋根の下に入れるスペースもない。
理由2「ウェットスーツは貸してくれない」
結構水深の深いところで泳ぐので、安全のためにもウェットスーツを貸してくれるべきだと思う。
だけど、前述のとおり船は小さいし、シャワーもついてない。船自体と安全管理について
の改善が必要。
ハンバーガーは、モスバーガーみたいでした。おいしかったけど、これもふつうかなという感じ。
バスは、他の人の口コミと同じように、寒い。なので、船でゆっくり着替えたりできると良いのですが、船のトイレは狭いので、着替えにくかった。船にはシャワーもついてない。
泳いでられる時間もそんなに長くない。亀はみれたけど、魚もそんなにいなかった。サンドバーも天国といえるほどではなく、そんなに感動的なほどきれいでもない。
その3 時間帯が遅すぎる。
もっと早い時間帯に出発すれば、魚もいるんじゃないかと思うけど、正午近くにサンドバーに着くので、これも時間設定が遅すぎると思う。シュノーケリングするころには、既に海はにごりはじめている。
7時とか出発にすれば良いんじゃないか。
ガイドさん(?)は、日本人の女性がとても親切でしたが、最初から最後までビキニで、「なんでかな?」と思いました。スタッフの外国人の女性もひもパンでした。スタイル良いけど、ずっとビキニでいる必要はないのでは・・・(特に船上)。ビキニスタイルもサービスの一環なのかな? 大変ですね。

The weather was unfortunately cloudy, but I was able to fully enjoy ocean activities like snorkeling, floating with a ring, and stand-up paddleboarding! During snorkeling, the captain pointed out a sea turtle hiding and sleeping among the rocks, and I was moved to see the turtle up close.
This was my mistake, but I didn't check the time for when the sandbar would appear, so I couldn't walk on the beach. Next time, I want to make sure to check the low tide time before participating!
Also, the staff's service was wonderful!! The spam onigiri and coffee they prepared were delicious!
However, we departed with two boats, one exclusively for Japanese guests and the other for non-Japanese guests. Personally, I believe that spending time with people from various countries is one of the great pleasures of traveling abroad, so it was disappointing that all the passengers were Japanese. That said, I think some passengers felt reassured to be among all Japanese guests, and on the Japanese boat, there was a staff member who was very fluent in Japanese, creating a comfortable environment for many! Thank you for a wonderful experience!
天気はあいにくの曇りでしたが、シュノーケリング、浮き輪、SUPで海のアクティビティを満喫できました!また、シュノーケリングではキャプテンの方がウミガメが岩間に隠れて寝ているところを教えてくださり、間近でウミガメを見られて感動しました。
これはわたしのミスですが、サンドバーが現れる時間を調べていなかったため、砂浜を歩くことはできませんでした。今度はきちんと干潮の時間を調べてから参加したいです!
また、スタッフの方々のご対応は素晴らしかったです!!用意してくださっていたスパムおにぎりやコーヒーも美味しかったです!
ただ、2隻の船で出発したのですが、片方が日本人のお客さんオンリー、もう片方は日本人以外のお客さんといった形で振り分けられており、個人的には様々な国の方々と同じ空間で過ごせることも海外旅行の大きな醍醐味だと思っているため、乗客が全員日本人の方だったのは残念でした。とはいえ、乗客が全員日本人で安心した方もいると思いますし、日本人号には日本語が大変流暢なスタッフさんがおり、多くの方にとって安心できる環境だったとも思います!素敵な体験をありがとうございました!

There was something for everyone in our group of 11 people (ranging in ages from 3 to 68). Lunch was tasty, the crew was great, and everyone found things to enjoy. Booking was easy and the area is beautiful. We even saw a sea turtle swimming with us!! We definitely recommend this for other families.
Mahalo David for your review! We're so glad the group had a great time. -Team KBOS

The hamburger I had for lunch was amazing! I wasn't expecting much, but it was overwhelmingly better than the burgers around here!
ランチに出るハンバーガー最高でした!
期待してなかったけど、その辺のハンバーガーより圧倒的に美味しかった!

A great place for small kids and adults due to shallow water. Good side excursions included with the price such as canoeing, paddle boarding, and snorkeling, but there's some waiting time for canoeing and paddle boarding due to limited availability.

Due to the price, I was debating whether to purchase this excursion for a family of four. I bit the bullet and purchased it; let me tell you, my experiences from the beginning to the end of the trip, it was magical. Just the drive to the location was a joy in itself, engulfed with the "aw" moment, witnessing the green mountains to the curvy roads. As we arrived at the boating dock, the instruction instructed us to check in near the deli Shop under the red umbrella. We were greeted by smiles and they quickly got us onto the boat after signing the waivers. The boat ride to Kaneohe Bay was worth it-the purchase included a simple breakfast (donuts, orange Juice, and water), live music (please tip the band), and the scenery was heavenly. The best part of this excursion was seeing my family enjoying every moment in the clear water, snorkeling, kayaking, and paddle boarding. The staffs were friendly educating us about the sea animals when we were snorkeling.
Overall, one of the best experiences ever. I would definitely do this again if I were to be in Oahu.
Mahalo for sharing your experience! So glad we got to be part of your trip to Oahu. Come back soon! - Team KBOS

It's an activity in shallow water, so you can enjoy it without any worries. On the banana boat, I had to use all my leg and arm strength to avoid being thrown off, and I ended up with a bit of muscle soreness. I guess I'm not used to exercising. The fish were incredibly cute!
浅瀬でのアクティビティなので、不安無く楽しめます。
バナナボートは振り落とされない様に、脚力、腕力全開で、少し筋肉痛になった。日頃の運動不足だね。
お魚が最高に可愛かったよーーー

Went with a few friends & we had a good time! The music was great, crew was friendly & helpful, & we enjoyed the floating lounge. I wish inner tubes would have been provided to float in the water, but not a huge deal. Overall, would recommend!

This was my first time to Hawaii and I took my son and out of all of our excursions this was by far the best one hands-down! Each and everyone of the crew members were so friendly and helpful and made you feel as if you were at home on their tour boat and the music was a great touch. We have never snorkeled or used a paddle board before and this adventure allowed the most beautiful perfect safe spot for our first time. I have never been in water that beautiful and if you were nervous at all some of the crew even stays in the water with you in all the areas at all times. Just book this tour you will not regret it! Thank you for providing my son and I priceless memories that we will cherish forever.
