ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング ベテラン日本語ガイドがご案内する少人数制ツアー 貸切プランあり<半日>

DAN, the instructor, is amazing at Japanese! This was the most fun I've ever had snorkeling! インストラクターの日本語お上手なDANさん最高!こんなに楽しかったシュノーケリングは初めて!

Reviewed by: さとみん

Instructor Dan pulled me along, even though I'm not a good swimmer. I felt very safe and was able to go far out, and I got to see sea turtles up close. Since it was a small group, I could take my time watching the sea turtles, and it was the first time I felt so relaxed while snorkeling. It truly was the best memory!

インストラクターのDANさんが
カナヅチの私を引っ張ってくれ
とても安心して遠くまで行くことが出来、
海ガメもしっかり見れました。
少人数なので
海ガメをゆっくり見ることが出来たし
あんなに安心してシュノーケル出来たのは
初めてです。
本当に最高の思い出です!

Kaneohe Sandbar Tour with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Hawaiian Music - Kaneohe Bay Ocean Sports

Awesome Experience…. A must do

Reviewed by: Adriana V

A must do experience…. We arraigned for the shuttle to pick us up at our hotel which I highly recommend to add that to package because you are tired after the experience…. The staff was awesome and went out of their way to make sure we had a good time. The musicians were fantastic, beautiful voices and very funny. I highly recommend the higher package that includes the banana boat ride…. It’s so worth it

Kaneohe Sandbar Tour with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Hawaiian Music - Kaneohe Bay Ocean Sports

Loved it!

Reviewed by: Lalo

The morning tour on 11/3 couldn't have been better. The small deli/store has adult beverages, some limited hot items and small snacks but they do serve food. The pancakes where delicious but the egg spam and cheese breakfast sando was perfect. When we returned as the afternoon tour was starting the deli/store switched over to more lunch items like fried chicken which looked pretty good.

The tour was great! The crew was on point and the entertainment brought it to another level. Couple bathrooms and they served donuts, juice and water to start. The activities were a highlight. It's my first time out at the sandbar and just hanging in the water was the best. I'm 6ft and it was up to my neck at its highest, atleast where I ventured to. The dock was a good place to get some time off the water if not in the boat. Kayaking and sup were awesome. Snorkeling is a must do with Brudahh guy! The whole crew was a blast. The ke'aloha singers are worth the price alone.

Bring a cooler with whatever snacks/picnic food/drinks and adult beverages. Grab a towel and some sunscreen and you're going to have a great time! But forsure I'll be back!

Sidenote: we got there at 8am for our checkin at 845 and parking was sparse. I'm not sure where everyone else ended up but it didn't seem like a huge inconvenience wherever they parked. Just don't park where you aren't supposed to like the 2hr spots and the boat trailer spots.

2.5-Hour Turtle Snorkel Sail Tour from Waikiki Beach - Cold Brew Coffee, Snacks & One Drink Included

Fantastic experience!!

Reviewed by: Rebecca Shaw

The captain and crew were engaging, fun and so very very kind. As a heavy traveler I don’t often put myself out there unless I KNOW I can do all of the activity. I was worried about being able to get out of the water after snorkeling. They never once made me feel like I was a pain, uncomfortable, or “less than” that is not a typical experience, so not only did they get my business for the snorkeling trip, I also went on their sunset cruise for the next two days. I will shout their praises to the rooftops!

ウミガメシュノーケリング ホロカイ・カタマラン号 高確率でウミガメに会えるタートルキャニオンへ!ソフトドリンク&スナック付き<3時間/英語/ワイキキホテル発>

It was the best snorkeling and sailing experience. 最高のシュノーケリング&セーリングでした

Reviewed by: Spitz_Roku

Overview:
The meeting point is the Holocai Catamaran booth located on the beach side of the Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort on the first floor of the hotel. If you're unsure, you can enter the hotel from the Steak Shack side and walk towards the abc store to find it.

There, you check in. There are about 12 participants. Since the boat will be moored on the sandy beach, you'll need to take off your sandals to board. About four strong men will be your guides. They look impressive, like old-time sailors from a movie. As I listened to the explanations (in English), we soon moved to an area where we could see honu (sea turtles). (I didn't feel much rocking.) Most participants were foreigners, with only a few Japanese. You can borrow snorkeling sets and life jackets. Wearing the jacket is mandatory, but whether to inflate it is up to personal judgment. Beginners should inflate it, while experienced snorkelers who want to dive can keep it deflated. The spots where honu are found are crowded with various tour groups, so we shared the space and slowly approached the honu together. We observed the honu as they surfaced for air, keeping a respectful distance. The guide provided friendly explanations and directed us on where to go. However, in the latter half, things became less organized, and people started to act freely, so it's good to occasionally look up to see where the guide is or swim towards the direction of someone calling out "Holokai!" When there was a honu underwater, I borrowed an underwater camera from another guest (I used a GoPro), and the guide dove down to take close-up shots. It was a wonderful memory. After observing for a while, we returned to the boat and had free time sailing around Waikiki's waters. Soft drinks were free, while alcohol was available for purchase (ID is only required when buying; if you don't plan to buy, you don't need an ID). Participants freely took photos and relaxed on the net at the front of the boat... The guide was always cheerful and even spoke a little Japanese when he realized we were from Japan... We spent a leisurely time on our way back...

Impression:
Of course, it depends on the weather and waves that day, but in my case, I hardly felt any rocking and was very comfortable. It's not particularly Japanese-friendly, and the vibe and way of speaking are completely native, but they don't say anything too difficult, and if you ask, they will teach you very friendly. If the weather is nice, you might get sunburned, so I recommend bringing long sleeves and sunglasses. If you have an underwater camera, I definitely recommend bringing it. After getting off the boat, there is a Steak Shack right in front, so I had lunch there.

Since the atmosphere is quite international, those who are not comfortable with that should consider it, but it was a very pleasant experience that made me feel like I was in a tropical paradise. There was no pressure to do anything in particular, and everyone enjoyed their travels freely, creating a relaxed atmosphere.

概要:
集合場所はアウトリガー リーフ ワイキキビーチリゾートのビーチ側のホテル内1FにあるHolocai Catamaranのブース。よくわからない場合はステーキシャック側からホテル内に入ってabc storeあたりまで行くとあります。

そこで受付。参加人数は12名ほど。砂浜にボートがつくのでサンダルを脱いで乗船。屈強な男たち4名ほどがガイドをしてくれる。かっこいい。映画の中の昔の船乗りみたいにかっこいい。なんとなく説明(英語)を聞いているといつの間にかホヌ(ウミガメ)がいる辺りに移動。(あまり揺れは感じませんでいた)参加者の多くは外国人。日本人はわずか。借りれるのはシュノーケリングセットと救命ジャケット。ジャケットは着用マストだがふくらませるかどうかは個人判断。初心者なら膨らませ、経験者で潜水したい場合は空気を入れなければ良い。ホヌがいるスポットは様々はツアーの客が群がっているので、譲り合ってゆっくりみんなでホヌに近づく。息継ぎのために水面まで上がってくるホヌを一定の距離を保ちながら観察。ガイドがフレンドリーに説明をしてくれたりどっちに行くかを案内してくれる。ただ後半は段々と統率がなくなってきて自由に行動し始めるので、たまには顔を上げてガイドがどこにいるのか、またはホロカイ!と声を上げているほうへ泳いで迷子にならないように。水下にホヌがいたときは、水中カメラを持っている客から(私はgopro)借りて、ガイドが下まで潜って間近で撮影してくれた。とてもいい思い出。ある程度観察したら船に戻り、残りの時間をワイキキの海をセーリングしながら自由時間。ソフトドリングは無料。アルコールは有料(購入時だけIDが必要。その予定なければIDは要らない)参加者各々が自由に写真を撮ったり船先端にある網?の上で寛いだり…ガイドは常に明るく接してくれたり、日本から来たとわかると少し覚えている日本語を話してくれたり…かなりゆったりと時間を過ごしながら帰路へ…

感想:
もちろんその日の天気や波に寄りますが、私の場合、揺れはほとんど気にならず、とても快適に過ごせました。日本語フレンドリーではありませんし、完全にネイティブのノリや喋り方ですが、そこまで難しいことは言いませんししませんし、聞けばとてもフレンドリーに教えてくれます。天気がいい場合、日焼けするので長袖やサングラスを持ってくと良いと思います。水中カメラはあれば是非とも持っていくことをおすすめします。
船から降りた後は目の前にステークシャックがあるので、そのままお昼に食べました。

もちろん海外なノリが多いため、苦手な方は考慮されたほうが良いですが、とても気分の良い、南国にきたなーーーーと思える体験でした。特に何を強要されるわけでもなく、各々が自由に旅行を謳歌している、そんな雰囲気でした。

I encountered many sea turtles. The weather was nice, but the tide was a bit high (I participated with this understanding in advance), so it didn't go as smoothly as in the photos, but I enjoyed stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling in the clear sea. We were able to take a leisurely break on the boat, and there were drink services, which matched our pace nicely. Above all, the guides were kind and wonderful!

たくさんのウミガメに出会えました。
お天気は良かったのですが潮位が高めで(事前に理解の上で参加)写真のようにはいきませんでしたが、透明な海でサップ、シュノーケリングを楽しめました。

I wanted to go to Kailua Beach, but I participated in a tour due to concerns about the time it would take to get there and the unfamiliar transportation. The pickup service to a nearby hotel was very helpful. The driver spoke in English, but I felt reassured as many of the other participants were Japanese. Additionally, there was a Japanese female staff member who provided explanations in Japanese beforehand, which was great! (I think it's important to note that she may not always be available.) The other staff members were locals, but they could speak some simple Japanese and told us about the fish and sea turtles, which was fun as they spoke to us in Kansai dialect. Even with the basic plan, there were three options: SUP, snorkeling, and boards, and rotating among them turned out to be just the right amount of time, so I was satisfied.

カイルアビーチに行きたかったのですが、移動に時間がかかってしまうことや慣れない交通機関が不安だったりことからツアーに参加しました。近くのホテルまで送迎がありとても助かりました。運転手は英語で話していましたが、他の参加者は日本人が多かったので安心しました。また、1人日本の女性スタッフがいて、事前に日本語で説明してくれたのが良かったです!(常にいるとは限らないと思うので注意が必要です)他のスタッフさんは現地の方々ばかりでしたが、簡単な日本語は話せて、魚や海亀がいると教えてくれたり、関西弁で話しかけてくれて楽しかったです。基本のプランでもsup.シュノーケリング.ボードと3種類あり、交代交代で使うと意外と時間も丁度良かったので、満足できました。

Reviewed by: lunapy

Since it was early in the morning, the weather was clear, and the water was beautiful, I was able to see various types of fish. Four years ago, I encountered sea turtles and seals in the same spot, but unfortunately, I didn't see them this time.

However, the couple who guided us were great; the husband spoke Japanese well and pointed out interesting fish, saying things like, "Look, there's ●●!" which made it really enjoyable. At one point, when some participants got tired, the wife went back to the shore with them, and when I got too caught up in taking photos and was left behind, they noticed and helped me catch up. Their consideration for everyone to have a good time was very much appreciated.

During the car ride to and from the location, they shared a lot of information, which was really fun.

I tried to take photos with my Google Pixel 7 Pro in a waterproof case, but about 80% of them turned out blurry, so I regretted not bringing my GoPro. However, the guide uploaded some photos to Facebook, which I was able to download for free! I felt grateful to have beautiful photos capturing the scenes I experienced.

朝イチだったこともあり、晴れていて海の中もきれいで色んな種類の魚に会えました。4年前には同じ場所でウミガメやアザラシにも会えたのですが、今回は会えずでしたが・・。
でも、ご夫婦でガイドをされていて、旦那さんも日本語が上手で、面白い魚がいると「●●がいるよー」と声をかけてくれてとっても楽しめました。途中で疲れた方は奥様と一緒に先に岸に戻って・・といったことや、撮影に夢中になってみんなに置いてかれている私を見つけて引っ張って行ってくれたりと、参加者みんなが楽しめるような気遣いもとっても感じました。
行き帰りの車の中でもいろんな情報を教えてくれて、とっても楽しかったです。

Google Pixel 7Proを防水スマホケースに入れて撮影を試みましたが、8割がたピンボケしていたのでやっぱりGoPro持っていけばよかったと思いました。ただ、ガイドさんが撮影した写真をいくつかFacebookに上げてくれているので、それをDLさせていただきました(無料です)!自分がみた光景をきれいな写真に残せている気分でありがたかったです。

I made a reservation for the morning session, which lasts about four hours in total. First, be aware that there is hardly any parking available for the rental cars. If you can't find a spot, you might have to park on the street along the road. (When I left after the morning session, there were cars parked all along both sides of the road.)

There were some people who struggled to find parking and were running late, but they waited for them, so I don't think you'll be left behind. However, it might be a good idea to call if you happen to be late.

As for what to bring, you'll need a swimsuit, sunscreen, and towels. You can go snorkeling, but be careful not to step on the coral, as it can cause injuries. It would be reassuring to have some kind of water shoes for the ocean.

For stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) and kayaking, it's first come, first served, and there are plenty of them available, so just let the staff know when you want to go out. During this time of year, the tide was high, so we couldn't see the sandbar, but the water was shallow enough for beginners, which I thought was nice.

On the way to and from the boat, we also got to experience the local excitement of Hawaii, which was really fun! Mahalo!

私は、午前の部で予約しました。全部で4時間程度です。まずレンタカーの人は駐車場が全然ないので注意です。止められなかったら、道沿いに路上駐車しました。(午前の部終わって帰る時には道の両側に路駐だらけでした。)
駐車場停めるのに手こずって遅い人いたけど待ってくれてましたので、恐らく置いていかれることはないかと思いますが万が一遅くなった場合は電話した方が良さそうです。
持ち物は、水着、日焼け止め、タオルなど。
シュノーケリングができるのですが、サンゴを踏んでしまって怪我する恐れがあります。海で履く用の靴下みたいなやつあると安心です。
supやカヤックは早い者勝ちで数も多いのでやりたい時にお兄さんに言えば乗れました。
この時期は潮が満ちてかサンドバーは見れなかったが足がつく程度の海で初心者にもいいのかなと思いました。
行き帰りの船上ではハワイのローカルな盛り上がりも体験できてとっても楽しかったです!!

Equipment malfunction: The mystery of up to five people. 器具の不具合 最大5人の謎

Reviewed by: 鼻馬湾

I had confirmed with the instructor, but the snorkeling gear wasn't properly attached, and I panicked because I couldn't breathe on the surface. So, I had to retire midway.

There were two instructors, but it was stated that they could handle a maximum of five people, yet it felt like one instructor was managing almost ten people. It seems like there's some exaggeration in the description.

I felt uneasy entering the water without proper safety checks. This company seems to operate smoothly every time, but it feels like a miracle that no accidents have occurred.

I would like participants to join with a sense of personal responsibility.

インストラクターにも確認してもらっていたのだが、シュノーケルの器具がちゃんと付けられてなく海上で息が出来なくてパニックになった。なので途中でリタイアした。
インストラクターは2人だが、最大5人と記載があるがほぼ1人で10人をみている状況だった。記載に誇張があるように思える。
安全確認もほぼせずに海に入って不安があった。
この業者は毎回流れるように仕事をこなしているが、事故が起こっていないのが奇跡に思えた。
参加される方は自己責任という気持ちを持って参加していただきたい。

ビーチシュノーケリング 波が穏やかな浅瀬のマジックアイランドのラグーンで初心者やお子様でも安心!英語ガイドのサポート付き 写真&動画無料<1時間/アラモアナ>

The instructor was great! インストラクターさんが良い方でした!

Reviewed by: さつき&みどり

The meeting place was hard to find, and I was made to wait a long time, which was disappointing, especially since I was treated rudely. However, I managed to make it in time for the start, and once I joined, the instructor who went into the sea with us was very kind and great. There weren't many fish, but the starfish were interesting. I also enjoyed the scenery of Magic Island.

待ち合わせ場所がわかりづらく、長く待たされたうえ、失礼な態度を取られたのが残念でした。何とか開始時間に間に合い,気を取り直して参加したところ、海に一緒に入ってくれたインストラクターはとても親切で良かったです。魚はたくさんではないけど,ヒトデがおもしろかった。マジックアイランドの景色も楽しめました。

Kaneohe Sandbar Tour with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Hawaiian Music - Kaneohe Bay Ocean Sports

11/10 would do it again

Reviewed by: Jonmart2010

My fiance and I had an absolutely phenomenal time going out to the sandbar. We did the banana boat and that was an absolute blast. We then did the SUP, and while I was horrible at that, the hosts were very helpful in teaching me how to do it. Next time I come to Oahu, I am absolutely going to book this experience again.

The best memories with my grandparents. 祖父母との最高の思い出

Reviewed by: かなみ

I was able to enjoy the tour with staff members and the captain who spoke Japanese, which made me feel at ease. Both of them were supportive throughout, helping a lot to ensure that my grandmother and my 0-year-old son could have fun.

Thanks to their gentle guidance, my grandmother, who has a chronic illness that makes it difficult for her to move her arms and legs, was able to enjoy activities like snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding. She said this experience was her best memory. We also encountered many turtles!

In the end, I forgot to give a tip! I'm thinking of ways to somehow give it to them... that's the only regret I have. I'm sorry for not giving it (cry).

I would love to use your services again! Thank you so much for everything!

日本語が話せるスタッフさんとキャプテンとご一緒することができ、安心してツアーを満喫することができました。
お二人とも終始サポーティブで、おばあちゃんや0歳の息子が楽しめるよう、たくさん手伝っていただきました。
特に、持病から手足が動かしづらいおばあちゃんにも優しくガイドしていただいたお陰様で、おばあちゃんもシュノーケリングやサップなどを楽しむことができました。
おばあちゃんは、この体験が一番の思い出だと言っていました。
カメさんにもたくさん遭遇することができました!

最後、チップをお渡しするのを忘れてしまいました!!
どうにかお渡しする方法がないか考えています、、これだけが心残りです、、。お渡しせずにすみませんでした(泣)

また利用させていただきたいです!
この度は本当にありがとうございました!

My sisters and I had an amazing adventure. It was definitely the highlight of our trip. All the staff members were fantastic from beginning to ending. There were bathrooms available on board and our belongs were kept with care as if it was their own. We would do this again with KBOS. This is one activity that cannot be missed.

The seawater temperature is too cold. 海水温が冷たすぎる

Reviewed by: ヒロリアン

First, the pickup was confusing and chaotic.
Finally, the shuttle arrived, and we headed to the location, but the air conditioning was too cold.
We boarded the boat and went out to sea; the ocean was indeed beautiful, but the water temperature was low, making it difficult to stay in for long. Moreover, while they provided goggles, there were no fins available, and we couldn't go to areas with coral, so we couldn't see any fish.
Given the strong yen and inflation, it was disappointing that it didn't feel worth the high cost.

まず送迎がわかりづらく混乱。
やっと送迎が来て、現地へ向かったがクーラーが効いてて寒い。
船に乗船して沖に行き、確かに海綺麗なんだけど、海水温が低くて長時間入ってられない。しかもゴーグルは貸してくれるけど足ヒレがなく、サンゴのある所へ行くのはNGのため魚も見れない。
円高&インフレで高い割に感動がなく残念でした。

Thank you very much for participating in the KBOS Sandbar Tour. We sincerely apologize for the delay caused by another guest who arrived late at a different pickup location, which resulted in waiting for the subsequent guests. We are also very sorry to hear that the seawater was cold that day and that you were unable to see any fish, which made the tour fall short of your expectations. The conditions of the sea, such as weather and water levels, vary daily and are beyond our control. However, we are committed to ensuring that you can enjoy the tour regardless of the weather. We will share your feedback regarding the air conditioning in the shuttle and other areas for improvement within our team to enhance our services further. Thank you for your valuable feedback.

Sincerely,
The KBOS Staff

この度はKBOS サンドバーツアーにご参加頂き誠にありがとうございました。当日は別のピックアップ場所にて遅れてきた方がおり、その後のピックアップ時間のお客様方をお待たせしてしまう事となり大変申訳ありませんでした。またこの日は海水が冷たく、お魚も見れなかった様でツアーがお客様のご期待に沿えず大変残念に思っております。天候や水位など海の状況は日々異なり自然のものですのでコントロール出来ませんが、天気の善し悪しに関わらずツアーお楽しみ頂く事ができる様、また送迎車の冷房など改善できる点につきましては頂きましたご意見を社内で共有し、更なるサービス向上に向けて役立てていく所存です。貴重なご意見を頂きありがとうございました。  KBOS スタッフ一同

A must do in Oahu!

Reviewed by: Daniela Alcantara

The crew was amazing. We loved the music performance inside the boat. The view is spectacular and we really enjoyed the activities. We did SUP, kayaking and snorkeling. Also, we had time to relax in the floating lounge and water. We would do this activity again for sure!
