I cannot express how grateful I am for Dan and this snorkel tour! My son is autistic and was struggling with understanding the equipment and started to panic. Dan very calmly and kindly took him under his wing. Before we knew it, my son was the leader of the pack! I even got a little seasick and Dan (without judgment) helped me back to the beach to rest. He also picked us up at our hotel and was so easy to talk to and open to any questions we had. I would 100% do this tour again! Thanks Dan!

You can enjoy a beautiful sea as far as the eye can see. Since life jackets are provided, both adults and children can play safely. The fact that boats and stand-up paddleboards (SUP) are available for free is also a great attraction.
見渡す限りのきれいな海が堪能できます。救命具をつけるので大人から子供まで安心して遊べます。ボートやSUPが無料で使えるのも魅力です。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. We are very pleased to hear that you had a wonderful time with three generations of your family. Please come back and visit us again. We look forward to seeing you.

I had fun doing kayaking, SUP, and snorkeling. My niece was a little afraid but the lifeguard on duty was so nice. She even left her use the lifeguard belt thingy. Also the guy who was watching out for everyone who strayed too far past the yellow border for SUP was amazing. Sorry we couldn’t get the hang of it! Go earlier the better. The tide is lower. Consider this when thinking of what you’d like to do.

This trip was so much fun! All of the staff was so friendly and helpful! You really felt like royalty enjoying the island. The music on the way out to the sand bar had the whole boat singing and dancing. The SUP's and floating lounge were an awesome, not extra cost addition to the adventure.

I checked the tide chart and made a reservation to go, but the water level was about knee-high, so I went snorkeling. It was a bit murky, but I was able to see tropical fish swimming. The weather was a little bad, so it was a bit cold. The staff were friendly.
潮見表で確認して予約して行きましたが、ひざ上ぐらいの水位があったのでシュノーケリングをしました。少し濁り気味でしたが熱帯魚が泳いでいるようすは見れました。ちょっと天候が悪かったので少し寒かったです。スタッフさんは親切でした。

It was a tour in March, but the response from the Japanese staff on board, especially their commanding tone and seemingly angry way of speaking, was not acceptable. While I understand that the weather and sea temperature are beyond control, I regret paying the price for this level of service. I often use overseas tours, but I felt a significant difference in quality this time.
3月のツアーでしたが、船上の日本人スタッフの対応、特に命令調な言い方や怒ったような言い方が納得行くものではなかったです。天気や海水温は仕方ありませんが、この対応はそれなりの料金を払ったことに後悔しています。良く海外ツアーは利用しますが、当たりハズレの差を感じました。

This time, I participated with my 5-year-old daughter and my parents in their 70s. The weather was a bit cloudy, but when we arrived at the sandbar, it was sunny! We even saw sea turtles! Although we couldn't see the beach, the water was up to the adults' waists, so my daughter could stand and we had a lot of fun snorkeling and kayaking! The lifeguards were very kind (and they spoke Japanese fluently!). My parents, who didn't go into the water, were also taken on a boat ride around the area, and we were delighted by their generous spirit to entertain us. It was the best experience that will remain a lifelong memory!
今回は5歳の娘と70代の両親を含む家族で参加しました。
お天気はちょっと曇りがかってましたが、サンドバーにつくと晴天!ウミガメも見えましたよ~!
砂浜までは見えませんでしたが、海が大人の腰辺りまでになっていて、娘も足がついたのでシュノーケリングやカヌーなど沢山遊べました!ライフセーバーの方たちもすごく優しかったです。(日本語もペラペラ!)海に入らない両親たちもボートに乗せてくれて周辺を一周してくれたり、私達を楽しませようとするサービス精神がたっぷりで嬉しかったです。

I participated in the afternoon session.
- The live music on the boat was very pleasant, and the atmosphere was great as participants started dancing.
- I added both the banana boat and the bumper tube. The speed was something you can't experience in Japan. It was so much fun that I screamed so much I lost my voice the next day.
- There are various activities like snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding, so you won't get bored.
- The light snack was a sandwich.
- You could also purchase alcohol separately, which allowed me to enjoy a drink with friends after playing.
- There was a tour guide who spoke Japanese, which was very reassuring. (I'm not sure if they are there every time.)
- The weather wasn't very good, so I wish I could have gone on a sunnier day.
- It seems that the timing for the sandbar varies by season, so if you want to see the sandbar, it's better to check the timing and decide whether to join in the morning or afternoon. We were in the afternoon, so we couldn't see the sandbar.
- There were many families, and I think it's a tour that children can enjoy as well.
午後の部に参加しました。
・船での生演奏はとても心地よく参加者の方が踊り始めたりととても良い雰囲気でした。
・バナナボートとバンパーチューブどちらも追加しました。日本じゃ味わえない速さです。叫びすぎて次の日声が枯れるくらい楽しかったです。
・シュノーケリングやサップ等の様々な遊びができるので飽きることがありません。
・軽食はサンドウィッチでした。
・お酒も別途購入することができて遊んだ後に友達とゆっくりお酒を楽しむこともできました。
・日本語ができる添乗員さんもいたのでとても安心でした。(毎回参加しているのかは分かりません)
・あまり天候が良くなかったのでもっと天気のいい日に行きたかったなと思います。
・サンドバーは時期によって時間帯が違うみたいなのでサンドバーに出会いたい方は時間帯をチェックしてから午前か午後に参加するかを決めたほうがいいです。私達は午後だったのでサンドバーをみることはできませんでした。
・家族連れの方も多く、子供も楽しめるツアーだと思います。

Went with a family of 7. Everything was smooth sailing no pun intended. This trip is a Hawaii must! Very family oriented. They played soft calming music while serving fresh drinks and donuts. Once there you have the option to paddle board, snorkel (you can bring your own or they provide it free of charge) or just swim and lounge on a floating lounge area they have already there for guests. Water was crystal clear and fishes were everywhere near the reef. Water might be a little chilly for little ones just a heads up but all dependent on the weather but definitely doable.

This was my first time booking, and I chose the option with transportation. They clearly communicated the pickup location with photos beforehand, and I was concerned about my valuables while having fun, but they managed everything properly, allowing me to enjoy myself without worries. On the way to the sandbar, I was able to listen to some lovely songs. It gets quite cold after coming out of the sea, so a jacket or towel is necessary. The sandbar was not as shallow as I expected on the day, but I was truly impressed by the beauty of the sea. Both snorkeling and the banana boat were a lot of fun, and it's a place that everyone should experience at least once. There were staff members who spoke Japanese very well, making for a truly enjoyable time. I highly recommend this option.
今回、初めて申し込みをし、送迎付きにしましたが、事前にピックアップの場所を写真付きで分かりやすく連絡くださったり、遊んでいる間の貴重品も気になってましたが、きちんと管理してくださり、不安なく過ごせるように配慮して下さって安心して楽しむことができました。サンドバ―に向かってる間は素敵な歌を聴くこともできました。海からあがると、どうしても寒いので、上着やタオルは必要です。サンドバ―は当日は思ってたよりも、浅めではありませんでしたが、とにかく海の綺麗さに感動で、シュノーケルも、バナナボートも、とっても楽しく、一度は必ず体験してもらいたい場所です。日本語がとても上手なスタッフもいて、本当に楽しい時間でした。オススメのオプションです

The Japanese guide provided commentary about Hawaii during the transfer, making it enjoyable from start to finish without any dull moments!
However, there are no breaks, so it might require some stamina...
(Of course, the guide will suggest going to the beach together if it gets too tough, and you can take a break from there.)
If you're not confident in your English or have concerns, I absolutely recommend this plan!
日本人ガイドの方が、送迎中もハワイのガイドをしてくださり、
飽きることなく、最初から最後まで楽しかったです!
ただ休憩とかはないので、体力はいるかも、、。
(もちろんガイドの方が、厳しくなったら一緒に浜に行って、そこからは休憩してくださいとは言ってくれますが)
英語苦手とか不安がある方は、このプランは絶対おすすめです!

Very cool experience. Saw lots of fish and turtles. The view at the island was nice as well. Only thing I was not happy about was the life guard told us to remove the flippers while the tide pulling us away. Mad it pretty hard to swim to the boat. I'm a decently strong swimmer and I barely made it. Besides that great experience
