I was able to spend a graceful time with the emerald green sea, the best views, and music. エメラルドグリーンな海と最高の景色と音楽で優雅な時間が過ごせました

Reviewed by: pote

If you're expecting a sandbar where you can walk when the tide goes out, it might be a bit different. Still, I had a wonderful and elegant time with cheerful instructors, including some Japanese, and enjoyed live music on the boat.

There was a raft near the snorkeling, kayaking, and SUP spots, and spending time sunbathing while enjoying the view from there was fantastic.

While being pulled on a banana boat, I happened to see a sea turtle swimming nearby!

いわゆる、潮が引いて歩けるサンドバーを期待すると、ちょっと違うかもしれません。
それでも日本人も含む、陽気なインストラクターさんと、船内は生演奏の音楽もあってとても気持ちがよく優雅な時間を過ごせました。

シュノーケル、カヤック、SUPスポットの近くにイカダがあって、その上で景色を眺めながら日向ぼっこをしている時間も最高でした。

バナナボートに乗って引っ張られている最中、たまたまですが、ぷかぷか泳いでいるウミガメを見ることもできました！

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/水中写真付き＞

It's worth it, even if it's a bit expensive! 少々高くても価値あり！

Reviewed by: やえ

I participated alone, but I had a great time.

The two instructors, Dan and Chieko, were very polite and kind, and they took good care of us, so I was able to join without any anxiety. I was very satisfied because we got to snorkel for a full hour at great spots. The tour was conducted entirely in Japanese, so even those who can't speak English at all can feel at ease.

When I went ten years ago, there was no need to make a reservation for Hanauma Bay, so I went there by TheBus on my own. However, I heard that making a reservation is very difficult now, and I was half resigned to that. But I really wanted to see that beautiful ocean, and even though I thought it might be a bit expensive, I’m glad I went. I'm considering asking for this again the next time I come to Hawaii.

Thank you very much.

1人で参加しましたがとても楽しめました。

インストラクターのお2人ダンさん、ちえこさんもとても丁寧で優しくて気にかけてくれたので全く不安なく参加できましたし、良いスポットを1時間たっぷりシュノーケリングで回れたので大満足でした。ツアーは終始日本語なので英語が全くできない人でも安心です。

It was beyond my imagination. 想像以上でした

Reviewed by: つっこ

It was different from the snorkeling I had imagined; we swam continuously for about 60 minutes. They guided us to good spots, and we were able to take underwater photos. Since it's a tour where you need both hands free at all times, it's better to avoid taking your smartphone. You shouldn't bring it. We even saw a sea turtle along the way, which was beyond my expectations.

I felt that the maximum of 5 people in a small group was in reference to the number of participants per instructor, but I don't think there were any issues with that.

想像していたシュノーケリングとは違い、60分程度泳ぎっぱなしでした。
良いポイントへ導いてくれて、水中写真も撮れました。
常に両手が使える状態でなければ厳しいツアーなので、スマホでの撮影は避けた方が良いです。持っていくべきではありません。
途中ウミガメも見られて、想像以上です。

最大5名の少人数…は、インストラクター1名あたりの人数だと感じましたが、特に不具合は無いと思います。

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

Disappointing

Reviewed by: Danielle

The staff was very friendly. However, the price of the ticket did NOT match the value of the experience.

The inside of the boat is in poor condition (holes in the ceiling tiles, visible mold, peeling paint, an overall unpleasant smell, etc.) The life jackets are old and mildewy, and the snorkeling gear should probably be upgraded.

The lunch (included in the ticket price, not free) consisted of a sandwich with 1 slice of dollar store quality lunch meat cut in half (it was supposed to be turkey but looked like bologna), pineapple slices, a few pieces of lettuce as salad, and an optional bag of chips. Your beverage options were either powder juice mix or water. Hot tea was served at the end.

For those expecting a bar when looking at the ticket price, NO alcohol is served. This seemed out of the ordinary compared to the other boat excursions I’ve been on, and the other guests were also surprised by this.

The live music was great until they started playing Christmas songs that could have passed for lullabies halfway into the trip. People were literally falling asleep. Since the weather wasn’t great (*not anyone’s fault*), it would’ve been nice if they played more upbeat tunes. Perhaps the majority of our ticket price goes to the live music fee since everything else was extremely lacking.

All the reviews I read and pictures I viewed before booking were great, and now they seem dishonest/misleading. Due to the nature of the issues I found (boat conditions, equipment conditions, and quality of food), I do not think my experience is unique or this was an “off” day.

Again, the staff was very friendly, and I do NOT place any blame on them. However, their friendless did not make up for the deficiencies I explained above.

The weather is all up to chance. 天気ばかりは運次第

Reviewed by: わきこ

On the way to the point on a large boat, there was live ukulele music, and the service of drinks and lunch made it very comfortable. The canoe and SUP experiences were fun, and all the snorkeling equipment was provided, allowing us to enjoy without having to bring anything.

The day I went, the weather was bad with some rain, and it was cold without any sunshine, so there were few people in the water until the very end. However, the ukulele performance on the boat kept us entertained, so I was satisfied with this service. The warm drink service to warm up my chilled body was also a nice touch.

If the weather had been good, I think I could have enjoyed the breathtaking scenery, but that depends on luck. One complaint I have is that the parking lot at the port is not very large. I happened to find a spot, but I think those who came by rental car would have trouble if there were no available spaces.

大きな船でポイントに向かう途中もウクレレの生演奏もあり、飲み物や昼食のサービスもありとても快適だった。カヌーやsap体験も楽しくシュノーケリングも道具も全て用意してあり手ぶらで楽しめる。
私が行った日は天気が悪く雨混じりで日が差さず寒くて、時間いっぱいまで海に入って居る人が少なかったが、船に上がってもウクレレ演奏で楽しませてくれるので、このサービスを選んで満足です。冷えた体を温めるあったかい飲み物のサービスも心に染みました。

天気が良ければこの世ならぬ美しい景色を堪能出来たとは思うがこればかりは運次第。
一つ不満があるとすれば港の駐車場がそんなに広くないので、私はたまたまうまく空いたところに止められたが、止めるスペースがなければレンタカーできた人は困ると思う。

Overall good but injuries were not fun

Reviewed by: Peach

I really enjoyed the friendly people whoever was leading the tour and also the live music, it was fabulous! But I would have to say , they didn’t do good for the safety part… I got injured from the snorkeling because it was my first time ever, I definitely lacked of knowledge about how to snorkel safely, and no one was giving instructions about how to stay safe in the ocean. I got injured from accidentally hitting the coral, I never know the coral can be that close to people (I never had ocean experience). I also was not the only person that was injured, another strong man, he was attacked by jellyfish. Hopefully they can do better for the safety instructions.

I had a very valuable experience! とても貴重な体験ができました！

Reviewed by: Kumapi

I had a truly valuable experience! The instructor was very kind and guided us with safety in mind. Although the water was cold since we started at 5 AM, I had reserved a wetsuit in advance, so I was fine during the long snorkeling session. On the day of participation, there was little wind, and I was able to see four sea turtles up close! Additionally, I was able to see many marine creatures that can only be found in Hanauma Bay, which was truly moving.

If I were to mention one point of caution, those with weak vestibular systems may be more prone to seasickness. I recommend taking a strong anti-nausea medication beforehand! I personally have a weak constitution and took Dramamine before participating, but I still experienced significant seasickness.

Overall, it was an unforgettable experience that I will cherish for a lifetime. Thank you very much to the instructors!

とても貴重な体験ができました！
インストラクターさんはとても優しく、安全に配慮しながら案内をしてくださいました。
朝5時からの参加で水は冷たかったのですが、スイムスーツを事前に予約し、お借りしたので、長時間のシュノーケリングでも大丈夫でした。
参加日当日は風が少なく、ウミガメを4匹も間近で見ることができました！その他にも、ハナウマ湾でしか見ることのできない海の生物をたくさん見ることができて、本当に感動しました。
1点のみ注意点を挙げるとするならば、三半規管の弱い方は波酔いの可能性が高いです。強めの酔い止めをあらかじめ飲んでおくことをオススメします！！私は元々弱い方で、トラベ◯ミンを飲んでから参加しましたがガッツリ波酔いしました。
総合的には一生の思い出に残る経験ができました。インストラクターの方々、本当にありがとうございました。

I was a bit unsure about swimming since it was my first time snorkeling, but I was able to learn without any problems. There was a large moray eel, and the underwater world was a wonderful experience. I was so moved and swam with enthusiasm, and just when I started to feel a bit tired, the tour wrapped up nicely. I think even those without much stamina can enjoy it. The guide was kind and relaxed, not pushing us to be overly energetic, which made for a pleasant experience. Thank you very much.

初めてのシュノーケリングで、泳ぎもそんなに自信ない感じでしたが、問題なく習得できました。大きなウツボもいて、初めての海の中の世界は素晴らしい体験でした。感動して夢中で泳いで、少し疲れてきたかな？と気づいたころに丁度一周がおわり、そんなに体力ない方でも楽しめると思います。ガイドさんも、無理にテンション上げさせる感じでなく、親切でリラックスした感じの方で気持ちよく過ごせました。ありがとうございました。

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

Unique experience, great service, memorable day!!!

Reviewed by: Kate

Having been to a few islands and done various activities, the Kaneohe Sandbar was a unique experience. Standing in the bay very far from shore, being able to look at the windward coast while SUP'ing and snorkeling and generally hanging out was so memorable. On top of that, the guides were so great and friendly, the donut and tang tasty treats and music from live performers was an unreal touch.

This was a great way to get exposure to a bunch of activities without exhausting yourself getting out to the sandbar on a rented kayak. Being able to BYOB and not worry about how that will affect your trip back to the dock was a super bonus!

NOTE: the snorkeling on the sandbar is super limited since the water is only waist-deep. Great for beginners and kiddos, but if you want a more snorkel focused tour, search around for that.

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.

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 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。

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。

Definitely had a great time and saw plenty of Sea Turtles. The whole experience is something that I will never forget. Definitely built a core memory with my daughter.

This was my second time doing the sand bar. Amazing Time! Crew was great and the experience was better. There were so many activity options in a safe environment. The music was better than expected.
