This tour is definitely worth doing!

Reviewed by: Michelle

I've been to Oahu many times. I brought my fiance this time since he's never been. I wanted him to try out snorkeling and see things other than fish, so the turtle tour was a perfect fit. Honestly the crew did a great job. Even the people we had on the boat with us doing the tour was a wonderful group. The only few downsides were: it rained. And I mean it poured! Not for very long and I'm sure the people in the water didn't notice it much, but I was sitting on the boat at the time and I was trying to cover our backpack and towels, since we would need them to dry off later, and it was coming down like pellets. But it didn't last more than 10-15 min and was more or less over. But the sky stayed dark making it hard to see through the already dark water. The turtles became less visible and it made our whole group decide to get out of the water and come back onto the boat to head back in. We were out there for a good amount of time but not the full time. The other problem we had was it got very crowded in the water looking at the turtles. 4 other boats full of passengers were doing other turtle tours as well. There was just a lot of people bumping into each other. I tried to stay away from most people and still saw a ton of turtles, but my fiance on the other hand had a harder time. It was also scary when I'd look up and not see him through all these other people. The last problem was that there were a few people who didn't know how to swim or snorkel. So it took a long time to explain how to use the snorkel equipment and pass out floaties. The positives were the boat was smooth sailing. Everyone was on time and nice. The turtles were wonderful. Hard to see them when they get super deep but they were big and beautiful and did not disappoint. Lots of fish to see too. The couple who run the boat are wonderful and so are there family who came and helped out as well. For the price I would definitely recommend this and probably do it again when we go back!

サンドバー シュノーケリングクルーズ　バナナボートなど選べるプラン　海に浮かぶラウンジ&船上ライブミュージック　アルコール購入可 ＜午前・午後／日本語クルー＞

Deeper than I expected. 思ったよりも深い

Reviewed by: パンプキン

The activities were plentiful, and we had plenty of time to enjoy ourselves!
On the boat, there were few people wearing masks. The boat was quite full of people.
The toilets were not the flushing type; instead, you had to put toilet paper in a trash can. Since we were on the sea, it might be unavoidable, but as a Japanese person, I was concerned about hygiene.
I thought it would be better if there were trash cans with lids.
Overall, the music was pleasant, the crew members were kind, and my elderly father also enjoyed it, so I think it was a good experience.

アクティビティが充実しており、時間もたっぷりありましたので楽しむ事ができました！
船の上ではマスクをしてる人は少数。割と船いっぱいに人がいました。
トイレは流すタイプではなく、トイレットペーパーをゴミ箱に入れるタイプ。海の上なので仕方ないのかもしれませんが、日本人としては、衛生面が気になりました。
蓋のあるゴミ箱とかならまだいいかなと思いました。
全体的には音楽も心地よく、乗務員の方も親切で高齢の父親も楽しんでいましたし、行って良かったと思います。

Also the two musicians were amazing, with lovely Hawaiian songs. As for the activities, it was easy to get up and down the stairs to the water, and the sandbar and coral were right there.

BOB's Hawaii Underwater Scooter Adventure & Turtle Watching Tour

Pictures look great but reality not so good

Reviewed by: KGC1

The underwater scooter adventure seemed like a great idea, particularly for my wife, who doesn't like snorkeling because of having the breathing tube in her mouth. This diving-bell style system seemed like the perfect solution. It worked, but there were some major issues. Start with the boat, which is small and when moored to the dive area bobs like a cork in the ocean swells, creating motion issues. The scooter itself has air pumped in constantly, resulting in an ever-changing level of air pressure until the air is forced out. So, your ears are constantly clogging and unclogging like you are descending and ascending in a plane the whole time. You also have no control over where the scooter goes, since it is not really self-propelled. Each scooter is accompanied by a "dive master" who physically pushes you to where the master wants you to go, and who controls when you submerge and when you surface. The marine life is swell, with fish food provided to bring in the fish right up to your helmet. The helmet is also very noisy, with the compressed air machine running, making it unlike snorkeling, which is quiet and peaceful. Bobbing up and down in the current inside the diving bell also produces a lot of motion, so don't eat anything before taking the trip. The crew was nice, but did not provide much instruction about what would happen once under the bell. There are hand signals for the dive master, but you feel very much out of control during the dive. On balance, I would not do this again -- even if I had not gotten seasick.

This tour is a must do! The organization was plain up perfect, easy pick up and check in! On board you get greeted by the different crew members, get introduced to the boat and the band starts playing wonderful music! The crew did an amazing job making everyone feel grateful. The lifeguards at the different events (Paddle boarding, kayaking, snorkeling) all were very friendly and fun to talk to, but yet still very professional. The snorkeling is amesome with a great reef to see some fishes! The donuts were also very good!

We didn't get the food package but you can bring your own food on the boat, plus it's only a couple of hours.

- Snorkeling: the sandbar was perfect for snorkeling because of the calm ocean, be careful of the jellyfishes that float in the water

- Kayaking: Also super fun!! my group had a race with eachother! would do it again!

All of the boating staff were super friendly, loved the experience and would recommended it to big groups!

First Sandbar: Heaven's Sea はじめてのサンドバー【天国の海】

Reviewed by: ヨーク

This was my first time participating, and I signed up with transportation included. I was informed of the meeting place in advance, but I mistakenly went to the neighboring ABC Store. It would be good to confirm with someone at the hotel front desk who understands Japanese beforehand. The microbus driver was very pleasant (though he didn't speak Japanese).

At the Sandbar reception, I simply stated my name and the number of people, and I was able to pass through smoothly. On the boat, seats were arranged by nationality, which eased my anxiety. There were a total of 8 Japanese participants (4 from my group). The captain spoke a little Japanese and explained the location of the restrooms and the rules of the boat. By chance, when I opened Pokémon GO, he became my friend, which was amusing.

While heading out to sea, we enjoyed Hawaiian music along with donuts and drinks. The singing was lovely, and the donuts were large! (They had three types of coatings: chocolate, sugar, and icing.) Before arriving at the Sandbar, there was an explanation of life jackets in English, and they must be removed for certain activities. Those participating in SUP, snorkeling, kayaking, and banana boat rides will need them. There was a Japanese explanation on how to wear the snorkel. We received bread for the fish, which attracted many of them.

I did SUP and kayaking, but there were limited numbers, so we had to wait a bit until someone finished. Many of the other participants were nice and asked, "Change?"

The highlight of the trip was encountering a honu (sea turtle). Although I couldn't see it underwater while on the SUP, it surfaced to say hello.

After about two hours of fun, we enjoyed hot drinks and warmed up with beach towels we brought from the hotel, and had more donuts. On the return boat ride, we listened to nice Hawaiian music, and it ended in no time.

When we got off the boat, the captain took a photo with us! I was very satisfied with both the service and the experience, so I ended up giving a little extra tip.

Things I was glad I brought:
- Inflatable float (with pump)
- Underwater camera and smartphone case
- Beach towel
- Rash guard

Notes:
- It's easy to injure your feet on the coral.
- If you're not used to snorkeling, breathing can be a bit difficult.
- Sunburn.
- When the tide comes in, the water can reach chest height (morning plan is recommended).

今回初めての参加もあり、送迎ありで申し込み。
集合場所は事前に知らされていたのですが、私の勘違いで隣のABCストアと間違えてしまいました。なので事前にホテルフロントの日本語がわかる方等に確認をすると良いです。
マイクロバスの運転手も感じの良い方でした。（日本語は通じません。）
サンドバーの受付では名前と人数を言ったらすんなり通過。
船では国籍毎に席をまとめられたので不安が軽減しました。日本人参加は計8人（内4人が私のグループ）
船長さんは少し日本語ができる方で、トイレの場所、船のルールを教えてくれます。たまたまポケモンGOを開いていたらフレンドになってくれました笑
沖までで出る間はハワイアンミュージックを聴きながらドーナツとドリンクをいただけます。歌はとても素敵で、ドーナツは大きいです！（チョコ、砂糖、アイシングの3種のコーティング）
サンドバーに着く前に救命胴衣の説明が英語であり、一部のアクティビティでは必ず切る必要があります。SUP、シュノーケリング、カヤック、バナナボートをやる方は必要です。
シュノーケルの装着方法等は日本語の説明がありました。魚用のパンをもらえるので沢山の魚が寄ってきてくれます。
SUPとカヤックをやりましたが、数に限りがあり誰かが終わるまで少し待ちます。他の参加者がいい人が多く「change？」って聞いてくれる人も沢山いました。

そして今回一番良かったのはホヌに出会えたことです。SUP中だったので海中では見ることができませんでしたが、海面に顔を出してくれました。

2時間ほど遊んだあとはホットドリンクを頂きホテルから持ってきたバスタオルで体を温め、またドーナツを頂きました笑
帰りの船の中もいい感じのハワイアンミュージックを聴きながらで、あっという間に終了。

船を降りたら船長さんが一緒に写真を撮ってくれました！
サービスも内容も大満足だったので少し多くチップを渡しちゃいました。


持っていってよかったもの
浮き輪（ポンプ付き）
海中で取れるカメラとスマホケース
バスタオル
ラッシュガード

注意事項
サンゴで足を怪我しやすい
シュノーケルに慣れていないと呼吸が少し難しい
