サンドバー キャプテンブルース 天国の海®︎ シュノーケリング貸切クルーズ 豪華なラウンジボートやスピードボートでのプライベート時間<6名まで/日本語クルー>

It's my favorite tour. 大好きなツアーです。

Reviewed by: choco

The sandbar is very beautiful, and you can also meet sea turtles. You can enjoy both snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding. We opted for a private boat rental plan, but before COVID, it included lunch, which is no longer the case now.

サンドバーはとても綺麗で、ウミガメにも会えます。シュノーケリングもSUPも楽しめます。ボート貸し切りプランにしましたが、コロナ前はランチ付きだったのが、今はありません。

Aloha!
Thank you very much for using Captain Bruce's private boat charter plan. We are truly grateful to hear that you referred to it as your "favorite tour."
Thank you for sharing your review.
The beauty of the scenery at Kaneohe Bay Sandbar and the relatively high chance of encountering sea turtles are some of the attractions of our tour. We are relieved to hear that you enjoyed snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding as well.
Regarding the meals, we have had to revise our offerings since the COVID-19 pandemic, and we currently provide snacks and spam musubi. We offer cold beverages such as juice, soda, and mineral water, as well as hot drinks like coffee, tea, and cocoa. Additionally, you are welcome to bring your preferred food and drinks, including canned alcohol, and you can use the cooler on board.

We will continue to improve our tours to ensure our customers are happy, so please come back again. We sincerely look forward to the day we meet again.

Must do experience!

Reviewed by: JT

This was my favorite part of my visit to Oahu! The views are stunning! An absolute must see. Both my boyfriend and I had never gone snorkeling before, but this tour made it very simple, safe, and fun for us. The staff are all friendly and helpful. A must do if you are visiting the beautiful island of Oahu.

Great experience out with the boat crew in Sandbar. Music was great and the entire crew shared the mahalo spirit. Definitely recommend getting to harbor early for parking. I had to park on street but you can safely with other cars.

Waikiki Snorkel with Turtles Cruise with Beers & Cocktails - Ke Kai Catamaran

Nothing bad about it

Reviewed by: Dee

I was able to see about 3 turtles and an octopus. They don’t go too far out and it’s a pretty quick trip if you want to see some sea life and also do other things with your day. The catamaran ride was smooth and I enjoyed the short ride. Had a cocktail on our way back. Crew was friendly and couldn’t ask for a better time. Oh the music was great too!!

Mahalo~ マハロ〜

Reviewed by: ははは

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!!
マハロ〜!

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>

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。

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。

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。

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

I was able to swim with sea turtles. ウミガメと泳げました

Reviewed by: みんげい

Positive points:
- I was able to get a response from Veltra via email before making a reservation.
- Communication in Japanese was completely fine, so it’s not a problem if you can't speak English at all.
- The instructor was very friendly.
- The waiting time for entry was shorter than that of other general customers.
- They provide careful instruction even for those with no snorkeling experience.
- Valuables are kept in a box with a lock, so it feels safe.
- They are well-acquainted with spots where sea turtles can be found, so there’s a high chance of encountering them (I actually encountered one).
- You can save underwater photos from Facebook.
- I requested a wetsuit from Veltra just before the event, and they were able to accommodate me (I participated in early October in the morning, and since the seawater is cold, I think it's better for those who are sensitive to cold to borrow one).
- Even on the day of the event, if you tell the instructor, you can borrow a wetsuit.

Negative points:
- In our case, there was nothing in particular.

Cautions:
- It goes without saying, but punctuality is important, so being late is not accepted (they will wait for a few minutes).
- There is no guidance to the restroom on the way back, so it's better to go at the timing of changing clothes.
- The valuables box is not very large, so it’s better to keep your items compact.

良かった点
・ベルトラさんに予約開始前にメールで問い合わせたところ対応していただけたこと
・日本語が完全に通じるので英語は全く話せなくても問題がない
・インストラクターの方がとてもフレンドリー
・入場の待ち時間が他の一般客よりも少ない
・シュノーケリングの経験がなくても丁寧に教えてくれる
・貴重品はボックスに入れて鍵をかけてくれるので安心
・ウミガメがいるスポットを熟知しているので高い確率で遭遇できる(実際に遭遇できました)
・水中の写真をFacebookから保存できる
・直前にベルトラさんにウェットスーツを依頼したが対応していただけた(10月初旬午前に参加したが、海水は冷たいので寒がりな方は借りた方がいいかなと思います)
・当日でもインストラクターの方に言えばウェットスーツを借りられた

悪かった点
私たちの場合は特に何もありませんでした

注意点
・当たり前ですが、時間厳守なので遅刻は認められません(数分なら待ってくれてます)
・帰りはトイレの案内がないので、着替えのタイミングで行った方がいいです
・貴重品のボックスはそれほど大きくないので、コンパクトにまとめられるようにしておいた方がいいです

Very unique experience!

Reviewed by: VL

Loved the sandbar and have never experienced anything like it. The entire journey, from the ukulele singers on the boat ride to the actual sandbar was very fun. The actual sandbar is like a floating lounge in the middle of the ocean with plenty of paddle boards, snorkel gear and kayaks. We purchased the banana boat and tubing experience, both which were very fun and faster than we thought! Overall a very fun morning in Hawaii.

It was my first time booking an optional tour, but I felt at ease participating because the guide was fluent in Japanese! They even got out of the car to come find us. At Hanauma Bay, there were long lines for both parking and entry, but since we had made a reservation in advance, and it seemed like the guide had some connections, we were able to enter smoothly. The snorkeling was also satisfying as we got to see various fish!

初めてのオプションツアー予約でしたが、ガイドの方が日本語ペラペラでしたので安心して参加することが出来ました!お迎えも車から降りて探しに来てくれました。ハナウマ湾は駐車場も入場も大行列でしたが、事前予約をしてくれており、かつ顔がきくのか色々優遇されているようでスムーズに入場できました。肝心のシュノーケリングも様々な魚が見れて満足行く内容でした!

Would highly recommend this package for the sandbar. The personnel are very experienced and friendly. Live music was great.

There were plenty of activities to choose from, and a perfect amount of time to try everything. The boat took us to a quieter area of the sandbar, so we basically had a private area to ourselves.

I'm glad we booked transportation through the package, as parking was full when we arrived.

An Absolute Must!

Reviewed by: EC Garcia

Everything about the whole experience was easy and convenient. We booked a party of 8 for a high school boy's trip and had an immeasurable amount of fun.

Booking was super easy and once completed you get a confirmation email and a waiver for everyone to fill out. Instructions were clear and concise and the check-in team members were friendly and accommodating.

Preston was engaging as he broke down the rules and expectations. Kaawa Entertainment, Jesse, and the Ukelele-ist kept us jammin' until we reached the bar. As we sailed away he was cracking jokes about us Cali folks, which was hilarious. The brothers Nohu and mimicked flight attendants by educating us on how to wear our life vests properly. The captains and the rest of the team shared their aloha hospitality with us serving us donuts for breakfast and keeping us hydrated with water and tang.

I will definitely come back and do this again!

No repeat!! リピートはなし!!

Reviewed by: シェリー

I think it's completely not worth the 20,000 yen per person, even considering that it's a natural phenomenon and the sand may not appear. It says that meals are included, but even in the morning, there wasn't even coffee, just a sweet donut and some bad juice mixed with water. My daughter and I participated in snorkeling, but the sea wasn't that beautiful, and there were no fish. When I asked the Japanese woman in charge, she bluntly said that there were fish a little further away by the coral, but we were told not to go beyond the coral, so we ended up not seeing many fish and our satisfaction level was zero.

It seemed like you could also do stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking, but once everyone used them, they didn't pass them on to the next person, so I only got to ride for a little bit about 10 minutes before the meeting time. I think they should either set a usage time or increase the number of equipment available. Other newlyweds looked bored floating on the rest boards in the sea, and it was really sad to see.

I will never participate again, and I think anyone considering joining should just pay for a different beach instead of this. I really want my 40,000 yen back!! (laughs)

自然現象だからサンドが現れないのは仕方ないとして、1人約2万円払って行く価値は全くないと思います。
食事付きと記載されていますが、朝なのにコーヒーすらなく甘ったるいドーナツ1つと水で溶かした不味いジュースかお水でした。
娘と2人でシュノーケルの参加でしたが、海もそこまで綺麗ではなく魚もいないし、主催の日本人女性に聞いたら少し離れたサンゴの所に魚がいると無愛想に言われました。
ですが、サンゴより向こうは行かないで下さいって言われたので結局魚はあまり見れず満足度はゼロでした。
その他サップやカヤックが出来るようでしたが、みなさん一度使うと中々次の人にまわさないので、結局集合時間の10分前にちょこっと乗れたくらいです。
使用時間を決めるか、もっと増やすか改善するべきだと思います。
他の新婚さんも海に浮いている休憩するボードにつまらなさそうにしていて、とても可哀想でした。
もう2度と参加しませんし、参加を考えてるみなさんもお金払わなくても普通に別の海に入った方が満足出来ると思います。
ほんと4万円返して欲しい!!笑

We are very sorry to hear that your experience with the KBOS tour did not meet your expectations. The weather and sea conditions, such as water levels, vary daily and are beyond our control, but we hope you were still able to enjoy the natural beauty of Hawaii during the tour. Our tours welcome participants from various countries and cultures. We aim to create an atmosphere where everyone can share their experiences at the sandbar and enjoy activities together without strict time limits, making it easy for guests to interact with the crew. However, it seems that there wasn't enough time for activities during your tour. Regarding meals, we provide sandwiches in the afternoon, while the morning tour includes pastries like donuts or muffins. We need to reconsider how we communicate meal options to make it clearer for our customers, rather than just stating "meal included." We will share your valuable feedback internally and strive to improve our tours. Thank you for your input.

Sincerely,
The KBOS Staff

この度はKBOS ツアーにご参加頂きましたがご期待に沿えない体験となってしまった様で大変残念で申し訳なく思っております。天候や水位など海の状況は日々異なりコントロール出来ませんが、その様なハワイの自然を楽しんで頂ければと思い日々ツアーを催行させて頂いております。また私どものツアーには色々な国、文化の方が参加して下さっております。サンドバーでの体験を共有して頂き、アクティビティにつきましても皆さんで声を掛け合いながら共有し、利用時間等を設けずゆったりと楽しんでもらえるツアーを目指しておりクルーにも声かけやすいような雰囲気作りを目指しているのですが、、アクティビティにあまり時間が取れなかったのですね。お食事につきましては午後はサンドウィッチを提供しておりますが午前のツアーはドーナツもしくはマフィンなどのペースとリーとなっております。”食事付”とだけの記載でなくもっとお客様にわかり易いよう内容を記載するなどもう一度考えなければいけないですね。今回頂きましたご意見は社内で共有させて頂き、一層より良いツアーの催行にむけて努力させて頂く所存です。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

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

Sand, Sea, and Throttle

Reviewed by: Jared

We had the best time during our time at the Kaneohe Bay Sandbar Ocean Sports Adventure. The live music (an experience in itself) really sets the tone for the day. The staff were friendly and helpful. One of the crew members told me to step on him to get into the kayak. Because he was shorter, he was underwater, while I used him as stairs. And we actually had to do this twice, because I flipped out on the first try. We purchased the package that included the bumper tube ride, and I must admit I misjudged our driver, who I think was the boat captain. For some reason, I was under the impression that she was going to take us us a mild tour around the bay. This was a prime example of don’t judge a book by its cover. Let me say this clearly: la capitana was all throttle. Honestly, the tubing was the best part of my day. I would recommend this to all. Great time.

Island Splash Tours Small-Group Turtle Canyon Snorkel Cruise in Waikiki

Amazing-

Reviewed by: Dr. Moore

Snorkeling is a family favorite and we booked a tour with Island Splash Tours as part of a birthday celebration. It was such an absolute pleasure going out with Captain Preston and Alex. We are in Hawaii fairly often and are looking forward to future tours with them. We really appreciated their knowledgeable approach to staying safe and making it fun for all of us. It was much more of a private experience compared to the tours we have taken on the larger boats and it made it all the more special. Everything from helping us select the best time of day to making sure everyone had a wonderful experience was done with such thoughtfulness and professionalism. A “little bird” even told Captain Preston about a family song that he made a point to play as we can back into the harbor. We all felt spoiled and loved every moment of our tour. As a Navy family we also really appreciate the military discount he offers. Completely recommend Island Splash Tours to anyone thinking about a boat or snorkeling tour!!

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

Catamaran Snorkle Turtle Canyon Waikiki

Reviewed by: Bev

Great 2.5 hours on and in the water. The catamaran was the best way to sail / boat to the location. On the way we saw dolphins and then several turtles at the site. Plenty of time to snorkle and experience sea turtles and view the fish. Would highly recommend the Mana Kai Catamaran as it has less people, more exciting with waves and sailing and the crew was fantastic!
