This activity was so much fun and absolutely worth it. Purchasing was easy, directions and parking was super easy. We drove our own car from air b&b in Waikiki. Little store in parking area for last minute drink/snack purchases. We brought our own floaters. The ride to sand bar on boat was nice and smooth with live music! The time on sandbar was amazing. The views all around were so so pretty! The kayak/paddle boarding was so much fun! Def bring your own drinks and snacks. Would definitely repeat!

We had such a great time with KBOS. All the crew are amazing, we love the fact that the captains were women. Had live music from extremely talented singers and they were so nice and caring. The lifeguard even saved my friend from getting stung by a Portuguese man of war!
The team deserves to go to Las Vegas for their Christmas party hint hint For the boss LOL.

It was amazing. As soon as we boarded, we received lunch, and they wrapped it for those who planned to eat later. It was almost my first time snorkeling, but they provided thorough explanations, and when I looked into the sea, there were so many fish, I was very satisfied. It was definitely a good idea to bring marine shoes; they are a must. For other activities, we didn't have to wait in line; we did them as they became available. If you plan to use the snorkeling mask again later, keep it at your seat on the boat. There was one men's restroom and two women's restrooms, which I used several times. It was helpful because I started to feel cold while in the water and needed to go to the restroom. The restrooms were quite clean. After playing for an hour and a half with breaks in between, it was enough, and we went back to the boat to change and enjoy lunch leisurely. I dislike shuttle buses, so I used Uber for both trips. It cost about $50 to $60 one way from Waikiki. The staff spoke a little Japanese, but all the safety instructions were in English, so I thought it would have been better if there was something written in Japanese for Japanese guests. This became the best memory of my trip to Hawaii.
最高でした。乗船してすぐランチを受け取るのですが、後で食べるつもりの人にはラップしてくれます。スノーケリングはほぼ初めてでしたが、説明をしっかりしてくれて、海の中をのぞくともう沢山の魚がいて大満足。マリンシューズは持って行って正解。持参必須です。他のアクティビティも順番を待つという感じではなく、空いているものからやりました。スノーケリングマスクは、後でまた使う場合は船の自分の座席に置いておく。トイレは男用1つ、女性用2つあり、何回か利用。海に入っていると寒くなってトイレに行きたくなるので助かりました。充分キレイなお手洗いでした。途中休憩しながら1時間半も遊んだらもう充分で、船に上がって着替えてゆっくりランチを食べました。送迎車が嫌いなので往復ともUberTAXIを利用。片道ワイキキから50〜60ドル。スタッフは少し日本語もできましたが、注意事項の説明とかは全部英語だったので、日本人向けに日本語で書いたものでもあったらもっと良かったと思いました。今回のハワイ旅行で一番の思い出になりました。

This was a wonderful trip. The crew was phenomenal. They were very attentive to the passengers and were extremely knowledgeable about the area and the marine life present. In addition to the turtles promised, we even spotted the first whales of the season (quite early, in fact) and had dolphins come right up to use within the reef, also a rare happening. One of the nicest things about this group is that, even though their vessel can hold up to 80 passengers, they keep the number of people in the group small in order to make it a much more enjoyable and interactive experience. I would highly recommend this group for their professionalism and attention to detail. If I had more time on my trip, I believe I would have taken this trip again or one of their other offerings. It is WELL WORTH the low price, and I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting a truly magical snorkeling adventure.

I participated in this activity because I heard you could do activities in Heaven's Sea. There were a lot of participants, so we were a bit delayed in departing. On the boat, there were two singers who kept the atmosphere lively until we reached the sandbar, making it feel like a club.
After about ten minutes, we arrived at Heaven's Sea, and I was impressed by how clear and beautiful the water was. However, the water level was about chest-high, which was disappointing as it was similar to a regular sea. On the plus side, we were able to enjoy activities like stand-up paddleboarding, canoeing, and snorkeling, so we had a lot of fun playing around.
天国の海でアクティビティーもできるということでこちらに参加しました。
参加人数が多くわちゃわちゃして出発が少し遅れていました。船内では2人の歌い手がいてサンドバーに着くまで盛り上げてくれクラブみたいでした。
10分程で天国の海に着き水は透明で綺麗で感激しました。ただ水位は胸ぐらいまであり、通常の海とかわらずで残念でした。
その分supやカヌーがシュノーケリングなどできたので沢山遊べて楽しかったです。

We've been to Honolulu a number of times and only found this awesome tour this visit!
Apart from the weather, wow what an amazing trip it was.
The sandbar is obviously tidal which wasn't in our favour but the water was warm and low enough where you could walk along the ocean floor to the floating barge for a sit and relax in the open.
The only thing I could suggest is that they serve drinks as well at an extra cost or even include it in the price.
Would do this tour again in a heart beat...hopefully with lots of sunshine next time

Totally awesome experience and had a ton of fun on the water. Went for the banana boat and bumper ride upgrade. Great and friendly crew! Definitely good to be aware of the tide tho. Unfortunately none of the sandbar was above the water while we were there due to high tide. Was a great experience nonetheless!

Snorkeling was a bit painful as I bumped my shin on the coral and scraped it, but kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding were fun. The staff were kind and friendly. The highlight was when I was paddleboarding and they said, "Look, there's a turtle!" and took me right over to see it. I was so moved to see a swimming turtle up close for the first time. Thank you, Hideo & Midori.
シュノーケリングはサンゴでちょっとスネをぶつけて、擦りむいて痛かったけど、カヤックやサップは面白かったです。スタッフの方が親切でフレンドリー。1番はサップをしていた時に亀がいるよ〜。と言ってすぐ近くまで一緒に行ってくれた事。初めて泳いでいる亀さんをすぐ近くで見ることが出来て感動しました。ありがとうございましたhideo&midori

The Snorkel was OK. Not many fishes though. If you are planning your trip primarily for the snorkel, it is likely better to find a snorkel specific place.
