I was relieved to have the reception in Japanese before boarding. Although it was said that English would be used after boarding, there were some people who could speak broken Japanese, so it wasn't a problem at all. The explanations for snorkeling and the staff were very enjoyable, and I had a great time.
However, perhaps due to the wind, I felt very cold after getting out of the water and was shivering. I wished they could at least provide warm drinks for a fee.
I was able to change in the only changing room available, which was a relief, but it seemed like the foreign guests were planning to leave in their swimsuits and looked quite cold.
I expected a wide sandy beach, but when we got off the boat, it was a shallow sea, which was a bit different from what I had imagined. However, I was able to see a lot of fish while snorkeling, and it was fun to ride the boat.
受付、乗船前の日本語でしていただいて安心しました。乗船後は英語と言われていましたが、カタコトの日本語ができる方もいて特に問題ありませんでした。シュノーケルの説明や、カラーの方たちがとても楽しくて、楽しい時間を過ごせました。
ただ、風が吹いていたせいか、海から上がって寒くて寒くて、ガタガタ震えていました。
せめてあったかい飲み物くらい有料で良いから置いて欲しかったです。
早めに上がり、ひとつしかない更衣室に入って着替えできたので、助かりましたが、外国の方は水着で帰るつもりなのか、寒そうにしていらっしゃいました。
砂浜が広がっているかと思いきや、船を降りたら浅瀬の海で、ちょっと想像していたのとは違いましたが、シュノーケルで魚もたくさんみれて、ボートに乗ったら楽しかったです。
着替え一式、大きめのタオルはちゃんと持ちましょう。スマホを守れる防水カバー、用意必須です。ドーナツくらいしか出ないので、朝はちゃんと食べて行った方がいいです。
Dear Fon,
Thank you very much for participating in our tour and for your valuable feedback.
We are very pleased to hear that you felt comfortable participating with our guidance in Japanese. We are also glad to know that you enjoyed snorkeling. However, we sincerely apologize for the discomfort you experienced due to the strong winds and the cold after getting out of the water. Unfortunately, we cannot control the weather or temperature, but we will strive to ensure that you have a comfortable experience as much as possible.
Additionally, we apologize for not adequately informing you about the availability of hot coffee and instant noodles on board, which may have caused you some inconvenience. Your candid feedback regarding the beach and changing room conditions is also very helpful. We will continue to aim for a service that allows everyone to enjoy their time with peace of mind, so please do come back and visit us again if you have the opportunity.

The Japanese staff provided assistance from the pre-boarding explanation and even accompanied us on the boat, so I had no issues at all. I signed up for the full set with the banana boat and bumper tube, and everything was well organized. After that, I was able to enjoy enough time for SUP, kayaking, and snorkeling.
Since there was only one changing room after the activities, returning to the boat a little earlier than everyone else allowed for a smooth change. There were many comments about the bus being cold, but the driver frequently checked the temperature inside, so those in swimsuits didn't seem cold at all.
I think I will participate again next time!
乗船前の説明から日本語スタッフが対応してくれるし、船にも同乗してくれるので、何も困ることがありませんでした。
バナナボートandバンパーチューブ付きのフルセットで申し込みましたが、段取りも良く、その後にSUPやカヤック、シュノーケリングまで時間内で十分楽しむことが出来ました。
アクティビティ後は更衣室が1つしか無い為、みんなよりちょっとだけ早めに船に戻ることで、スムーズに着替えることができます。
バスが寒いとのコメントが多いですが、ドライバーさんが何度も車内の温度をヒアリングしてくれるので、水着のままの人も決して寒そうでは無かったです。
次回も参加すると思います!
If you're planning to change before heading back, I recommend returning to the ship a bit earlier while checking the remaining time with the staff.
帰りに着替えるなら、スタッフに残り時間確認しながら、ちょいと早めに帰船することをオススメします

We participated as a three-generation family. There were explanations in Japanese, which made us feel comfortable joining. There was plenty of time for stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking, and the waves were calm, so even beginners could enjoy it. Snorkeling equipment was also available for rent, and we were able to see many tropical fish.

The sea was murky due to the effects of the wind and tsunami, but I was able to see turtles when they surfaced while I was on the boat or in the water. Even though the water was cloudy while I was swimming and looking for sea turtles, I could see schools of fish, so I think there were many more. The sea is usually much clearer, so I would like to go again next time if the timing works out.
The cruise staff were kind, and since the sea was murky, they offered a complimentary soft drink and suggested an alternative for the sunset cruise.
風と津波の影響により海は濁っていたが船の上や海に入っている時に亀が水面に上がって来た時に見えた。他にもウミガメを探して泳いでいた時に濁ってはいたが魚の群を見ることが出来たので他にも沢山いたんだと思う。普段の海はもっと透き通っているみたいなので次回行く時はタイミングが合えばまた行きたい。
クルーズの人たちは親切で海が濁っていたこともありソフトドリンクの1杯サービスとサンセットクルーズの代替案を提示してくれた。
If there are people who get seasick, it's better for those who are prone to motion sickness to bring anti-nausea medication.

The morning gathering was early, so my 5-year-old child looked sleepy the whole time, but when the dolphins appeared, he was completely absorbed in watching them in the water. I was a bit anxious about managing our valuables, but I was able to take care of them myself at the foot of the boat, so there was really no need to worry. There were times when Japanese speakers were available, so we had no language barriers, and the English staff were friendly, making it a fun experience. I recommend signing up for the photo package (up to 4 people for $79) because you won't need to bring a camera, and they will even take underwater photos for you. It was nice to have a credit card and some cash for tips. It might be a good idea to take motion sickness medication just in case. Our family, both adults and children, were fine, but I saw a few people who were really struggling with seasickness. Overall, it was a great experience that the kids enjoyed very much.
朝集合が早かったので、5歳の子供は終始眠そうでしたが、イルカが見えると夢中で海の中を見ていました。
貴重品の管理が不安でしたが、船の足元に自分で管理で、特に心配する必要もなかったです。
日本語が話せる方がいる時間帯だったので、言葉面でも不自由なく、英語スタッフの方も気さくで楽しく過ごせました。
フォトパッケージ(4人まで79ドル)を申し込めば、カメラを持っていく必要もなく、水中の写真まで撮ってくれるのでおすすめです。
クレカとチップ分の現金があれば良い感じでした。
酔い止めは念のため飲んでおいたほうがいいかと。
我が家は大人も子供も飲んで平気でしたが、数名凄まじい勢いで戻してる方がいて辛そうでした。
総合的に子供も楽しめ、とても良かったです。
Aloha, thank you very much for participating in the tour and for taking the time to provide such a thoughtful review. We were delighted to hear that your child was captivated by the dolphins despite the early morning gathering.

From start to finish this was the best part of our trip to Oahu. The staff made everything go so smoothly and were all so sweet and fun. The musicians were amazing and will even take weird song requests from the audience. The sand bar is stunning and was just so magical, the extras like the paddle boards and canoes, snorkeling and volleyball, were the cherry on top. 10000% recommend that you add this to your trip! We also did the bumper boat and although my husband hated it, my 12 year old son had a BLAST!
You can add on the bumper or banana boats while you’re on the sandbar if you are undecided..

Playing in the sea at Angel's Beach. Unfortunately, when I went, the tide was not low, and it was quite deep. However, I enjoyed stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, and snorkeling. The strong point here is that there are Japanese staff members and many staff who can understand Japanese. Since many of the tour participants are Japanese, I definitely recommend it if that makes you feel more comfortable.

Since I was planning to head towards Kailua in the afternoon, I didn't arrange for a shuttle and used the city bus instead. I obtained a prepaid card called Holo Card, which is exclusive to city buses, before heading to the location. (At ABC, only one-day passes are sold, so it's better to purchase a rechargeable card at places like Seven-Eleven.) The city bus is used frequently during the trip, so it's preferable to get it on the first day. The bus arrived almost on time, but the air conditioning was strong, so a light jacket is necessary. The bus fare is quite reasonable at a daily maximum of $7.50 compared to other transportation options, making it recommended for those looking to save money. I feel that a taxi would cost around $50 to $60? In Hawaii, prices fluctuate significantly based on supply and demand. Route searches can be done easily with Google Maps. I also used an app called DaBus2, but it seemed a bit difficult to use.
At the location, a Japanese guide (a local) provided explanations in Japanese, and although it was somewhat broken, it was understandable. There were a few Japanese tourists as well, so I think it's manageable even if you don't understand everything. You need to bring a copy of the consent form in advance, but even if you forget, they have it prepared there, so you can just head to the location without worry.
The sandbar was deep enough that when an adult (170 cm) stood, the water came up to just above their chest. I think it would be fine if the sun is out, but it can be a bit chilly, so having a rash guard would be reassuring.
During the round trip from He'eia Harbor to the sandbar, there were light snacks (donuts) and drinks (water, orange juice), and the performance by the two male musicians was quite good.
I would definitely like to use this plan again when I visit Hawaii.
午後にカイルア方面へ向かう予定だったため送迎はつけず、市バスを利用した。事前に市バス限定のプリペイド式決済カードのHoloカードを入手し、現地へ向かった。(ABCだと1日乗車券のみの販売だけなので、セブンイレブン等でチャージ式のを購入すると良い)。市バスは旅行中に利用する頻度が高いので、初日に入手が好ましい。バスはほぼ時間通りに到着したが、車内は冷房が効いており羽織るものが必要。バスは1日上限7.5$と他交通機関と比較するとかなり割安なため、節約したい方にはおすすめ。感覚ですがタクシーでも5〜60$くらい?ハワイは需供で料金の変動が激しい印象。経路検索はGoogleマップだけで問題なし。DaBus2というアプリも併用したが、やや使いづらい印象。
現地では日本語ガイド(現地の方)が日本語にて説明して下さり、カタコトではあったが十分理解可能。日本人観光客も何組かおり、分からなくてもなんとかなると思います。事前に同意書のコピーを持参する必要があるが、忘れても向こうで用意してあるので最悪そのまま現地に向かえば大丈夫です。
サンドバーは大人(170cm)が立つと胸から上が水面から出る程度の深さでした。日差しがあれば大丈夫だと思うが、やや肌寒いので、ラッシュガードがあれば安心。
ヘエイア港からサンドバーまでの往復の間、軽食(ドーナツ)、水分(水、オレンジジュース)があり、男性2人組の演奏がかなり良かったです。
またハワイに訪れる際には利用したいと思えるプランでした。

The tsunami stirred up the sand, making the water very murky, but I was able to swim alongside the honu when they surfaced! I saw more than ten of them from the cruise as well. Additionally, due to the murky conditions caused by the tsunami, they even guided us to a free tour that we could join during our stay. Although I couldn't participate this time, the staff's response was excellent, and I would love to join again. They also offered alternative options to participate in a sunset cruise tour besides the honu, showing their flexibility in accommodating us.

The sandbar experience was amazing. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. They had food for us to feed the fish. I recommend booking the banana boat ride. The live music was so cool. We did snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding. My daughter has not stopped talking about it. It has been her favorite excursion this trip.
Tip the staff. They deserve it.
Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful review! 🌺

The staff was so friendly. From check in to being out in the ocean.
Always checking in on us when we were in the water.
Staff was in great spirits. Love the live music.
Your team went above and beyond when my family and I were a few minutes late.
The boat left us but one of your staff members stay behind to take us in and give us a ride to the main boat.
I felt like a VIP.
Thank you.

I’m writing this review to emphasize how great the workers of this cruise are. Great atmosphere, the banana boat was extremely fun, and the driver was a joy. We also got to do some snorkeling, seeing some beautiful fish. My main point of this review is to talk about how amazing the crew was when hit with a massive change. As we were enjoying our time, it got caught short due to a Tsunami warning. Every crew member was fantastic with this, making everyone feel safe and less nervous. It’s a really great time, just pray that you don’t unexpectedly get a tsunami warning!
Aloha Coopers,
Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful review!
We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the atmosphere, the banana boat ride, snorkeling, and most importantly, the crew's service. Our team works hard to create a fun and safe experience for all our guests—even when unexpected situations arise, like the recent tsunami warning.
We're truly grateful for your understanding and trust during that moment. Safety is always our top priority, and it means a lot to know our crew helped keep things calm and reassuring for everyone on board.
We hope to welcome you back again under calmer skies! 🌞🌊

The crew was very kind, and there were staff members who spoke Japanese, which made me feel at ease. The banana boat was thrilling. Additionally, seeing sea turtles up close was amazing. It was my first experience with stand-up paddleboarding. I was able to stand, but with the waves, it was difficult to go in the direction I wanted. The live music was also great. However, it was disappointing that the sandbar was submerged and not visible.
クルーの皆様はとても親切で、日本語を話せるスタッフもいて、安心して過ごせました。
バナナボート迫力満点。さらにウミガメも間近で見られて最高でした。Supは初体験でした。立つまでは出来るのですが、波もあり、思う方向に進むのが大変でした。
ライブミュージックも良かったです。
ただ、サンドバーは水位が高く見れなかったのが、残念でした。
Aloha misa_n,
Thank you very much for your wonderful review.
We are very pleased to hear that the crew's support and the presence of Japanese-speaking staff made you feel at ease. It’s also great to know that you enjoyed the thrilling banana boat ride, the encounter with sea turtles, your first stand-up paddleboarding experience, and the live music; it truly motivates all of our staff.
We regret that you couldn't see the sandbar due to the tides on that day, but we hope you will come back for a rematch. We look forward to providing you with more wonderful memories next time.

Unfortunately, when we arrived at Sandbar, the beach was visible, but by the time we received the explanation and got on the canoe that was prepared for us, it was submerged.
You can check the tide schedule on the website, so it's recommended to confirm that before you go, but even without that, you can have a lot of fun.
サンドバーは残念ながら着いた時は浜が見えていたのに、説明受けて、つい手前に用意されていたカヌーに乗ってなんてしてる間に水没。
潮の満ち引きはサイトで調べられるので、確認してから行かれるのがおすすめですが、それ抜きでもとても楽しめます。
It's cold when you come out of the sea. I recommend bringing a change of clothes.
海から上がると寒いです。
着替え持参をお勧めします

Make sure to bring a complete change of clothes and a large towel. A waterproof cover to protect your smartphone is essential. Since only donuts are available, it's better to have a proper breakfast b
