This was an awesome first time experience for my wife and I. Brent and Jesse were great at having us engage with them in the activities and provided safety instructions to a tee that made it very clear and easy to understand and follow. Jesse provided us with some history along the way that made for fun facts. Brent did a great job at making me feel comfortable jumping off the cliff which was my very first time doing any type of cliff jumping and super glad I did! Snorkeling was super fun with clear and warm water. Would definitely do it again and highly recommend! Oh, and special shout out to the owner Mike for making the booking process swift and easy! Thank you guys!!

I took my daughter and her fiancé on this adventure for an early Christmas gift. The boat was clean, the crew friendly and fun, and the whole experience felt very safe.
The take-off and landing were so smooth and easy. The views from 1000 feet up were breathtaking!
The crew took lots of pictures that you could purchase for $40–they downloaded the photos to my phone and also gave me the SD card. Definitely worth it! We will do this again!

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

We had the most amazing experience! The crew was wonderful. Made us feel like Ohana. Kept us safe and let us do our thang. We rode the banana boat and asked the captain to flip us! So much fun. We rode the bumper tube as well, SCARY at first but so much fun. Snorkeled with my 10yr and non swimming boyfriend lol We did great! The lunch sandwich they provided was much needed! We will come back to sandbar EVERY time we visit Oahu. Mahalo!

The sandbar snorkel cruise was a last minute decision and we're so glad we did it! We had a small group so we were able to snorkel out and see some turtles and coral reef! Such an amazing sight! The crew and musicians were very friendly and this added to the overall experience. Highly recommended!!

The ride to Sandbar is very smooth, no waves, no worries on emotion sickness. My 6yr old especially enjoyed the Banana Boat and Bumper Tube rides. Highly recommend. The staff was very nice. They even helped us babysit our 2yr old while the rest of family were on the boat and tube rides. :D
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.

還暦を過ぎた夫婦で初めての参加になります。船の中ではハワイアンソングを聴きながら和気あいあいでスタッフの方も英語が話せない私達に片言の日本語でとても親切に接してくれました。(英語ダメでもOK)飲み物やドーナツが有り柔らかくて美味しかったです。お目当てはSUPです!海の中に居るスタッフさんの説明でSUP開始です。恐々乗ってると時期に慣れて気持ち良く乗る事が出来ました。カヤックをやったりシュノーケリングをやったりと充実した時期を楽しく過ごせました。
時間になり帰りの船の中でも弾き語りで皆さん大盛り上がりでとても楽しかったです!
次回はお孫ちゃん達を連れて来たいと思います。

憧れのワイキキでのパラセーリング。
思った以上に高くて楽しかったです!!スタッフはハッピーオーラ満開でハイテンション、英語が片言でもあまり問題はありません。いろんなアイテムを出したり、音楽のボリュームを上げて、楽しさを演出してくれます。
同じ船に乗った方ともなんとなーくの一体感が生まれ、フライトの後はお互い拍手を送り合ってみたり
とにかく暑くて日差しが強いけど、飛ぶ時は帽子は取らなければなりませんのでご注意を私は飛ぶギリギリまでかぶってました
それでもやってみる価値ありの体験でした。
【荷物について】
貴重品の預かり所はなく、荷物はボートのベンチの下に突っ込むしかありません。私はチップとクレジットカードが入るスマホケースを首からかけて挑みました。ホテルが遠かったのもあり、その他の貴重品はヒルトンのラグーン側にあるコインロッカーを使いました。(めちゃくちゃ高いけど)
【クレジットカード】
写真のデータを買うのに現金かカードが必要ですが、JCBが使えません!ご注意ください。(私はわざわざロッカーまで取りに行きました)

This was one of the most popular outings suggested when we researched our trip to Oahu. The online description was completely accurate and the booking was easy. The company communicated very clearly via email and text with great instructions to prepare us for a fun day. Once on the boat we were able to completely relax and enjoy ourselves! The live music was amazing, the crew was friendly and fun, and the whole experience was coordinated and organized very well! There was plenty of time on the sand bar and plenty of equipment for our family of 6 to do everything we wanted to do. I would completely recommend this outing and I would do it again!

【パラセーリング体験の流れ】
・9:00の回で予約
・徒歩の場合、チェックイン時間(8:30)の15分前集合ということだったので、8:15に到着。
・同意書に名前記入したら、8:40までにここに戻ってこればいいよ、と言われてハーバーで写真撮ったり日焼け止め塗ったり、酔い止め飲んで待ち。
・8:50に船に乗り込み15分かけてポイントに到着。その間に、ライフジャケット着たり、写真撮影40ドルでやるかどうか聞かれる。
・9:05から1組ずつパラセーリング開始。だいたい10分くらい飛んでいたかな。写真撮影頼んだら、飛ぶ前から飛んでる最中、かなり撮ってくれた。(数えたら100枚以上あった、画質もかなりいい)
・綺麗な海、空、島、ダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めながらパラセーリング。安定していて怖くないし、たまに楽しませるためにぐわんぐわんしてくれて、10分間あっという間だった。最後、船に回収される時、胸くらいまで海に浸かった。
・150mの高さを保つためにはある程度の船の速度も必要みたいで普通に揺れる。他の参加者のパラセーリング中ずっと船で待機なので船酔いする人は酔い止め飲んだ方がいいと思う。めったに酔わない私も念の為に飲んだけど、最後らへん少し気持ち悪くなった。
・9:50に終了。写真撮影頼んでない人はそのまま帰る。頼んだ人はチェックインしたところに行き、撮ってもらった写真ぱらぱらと確認し40ドル支払う。iPhoneを渡してデータ移行してくれてSDカードもくれる。
【感想】
船に乗ってる間、ずっと楽しい音楽流れてるし、景色も綺麗だし係の人たちも優しくて日本語少し喋れるから、本当に船乗っているだけでも楽しかった。とってもいい思い出になって体験できてよかった!

We recognize that no one can control the weather, the tides, or the water depth on any given day but the company could note on their website that the water level has been so high lately that it's rare that the sandbar is visible. Having pictures on the website that show the sandbar above water is very misleading without any asterisks as to weather conditions, water depths, or tides.
The afternoon we went in mid October 2022, the water over the sandbar was about 4-5' deep. It wasn't until we talked with one of the crew who said the sandbar has only been visible about two days this whole summer. Had we known that, we wouldn't have booked but of course, that's exactly why they don't post anything about the rising ocean on the website because they'd lose money. So instead, they let people think they'll get the experience like the photos show which is pretty misleading and close to false advertising.
Unfortunately, we also got a cloudy afternoon with intermittent rain and pretty choppy water so weren't able to try the standup paddle boards or kayaks.
The two-guy band on the boat was good. They played 3 songs on the short boat ride out to the sandbar and then a couple on the way back. They didn't play during the time at the sandbar.
The turkey croissant lunch was good.
The floating suntanning platform near the sandbar was unusable. It had built-in chairs but if you wanted your towel, you had to hold it above your head to keep it dry and swim, tread, or walk in 4' water from the boat to the platform. It would have been helpful if a crew member took towels, etc. over to the platform on a paddle board or something so they'd be dry.
If you have kids or you're a short adult who doesn't want to have to tread water or wear a life vest for the 3+ hours in the water over the sandbar, this isn't the excursion for you. We had a better sandbar off the beach at the Outrigger hotel in Waikiki. Also, the water on Oahu's north shore isn't as clear as in Waikiki.

ハネムーンで夫と参加しました。マスク着用とありましたが、私達は念のため持っていきましたが着用はしませんでした。
道中の船はとても静かに進み、いつも薬を飲んでいても船酔いする私がまったくせず、軽食を食べても酔いもせず快適でした!普段船酔いする方でもこれなら大丈夫かもしれません。
事前に契約書?みたいなのにサインするのですが、そこに書かれているような服装の人はほぼおらず、普通にみんな足とか腕とか出た服装でした。だからいろいろ規約に書かれているほど厳しくないのかもしれないです。
船ではハワイアンミュージックを生演奏してくれるのでそれを聞いたり、軽食のドーナツや飲み物を飲んで過ごしました。
着いてからはそのまま泳げますし、シュノーケルやカヤックなども無料で貸し出しがあるのですることができます。有料のバナナボートや水上バイク?も当日空きがあればお金を支払って参加できます。
着いてからは丸々2時間ほどあったのでしょうか?かなりゆっくり海に入っていられた印象です。
帰りのボートでは暖かい紅茶もあるので冷えた身体を温められます。
説明は英語、日本語、韓国語などで片言ですが伝わります。
全体的に想像してたより海は普通で感動はしませんでしたがタイミングなのでしょうか?
とりあえずゆっくりできたこと、軽食は好きなだけ食べれたこと、彼が満足そうだったので、星4にしました。
1つ残念なこととしては場所がホノルルから離れているので送迎をお願いしたのですが、行きも帰りも遅かったこと。朝も20分ほど予定から遅れていましたが、まさかの帰りのバスも待っても待っても出発せず、運転手が戻ってきて告げたのは乗客の1組が現地で軽食を食べている。それが終わらないことには出られないとのこと。勿論イライラ。外人の観光客もしびれをきらしそのご飯中の1組のところへ行って話し合って来てくれたようで、なんとか30分後くらいには出発できましたがあり得なかったです。
申し訳ないですが注意事項に現地での途中飲食は出来ませんとか、途中飲食される場合は送迎致しませんとか書いて下さい。食べていたカップルはそんなにすぐ出発すると思わなかったと言っていたと運転手が言っていましたが、勝手な思い込みは他の人が迷惑です。乗車の際も謝りもせず普通に座って何様なのかと思いました。
スタッフ、雰囲気、サービスは良かっただけにその前後の送迎が足を引っ張った感じがします。

サンドバーの出現は時期や時間帯にもよるので、私が参加した日は胸あたりまで水位があり、砂浜は見ることができませんでしたが、足がつく浅めの海でシュノーケルやカヤック、supなどのアクティビティをして楽しかったです。日程に余裕があり調整できる方は潮位などを調べて、サンドバーが見られる日に行くと良いかもしれません。日差しがとても強いのでアクティビティ中も帽子は必須です。(つむじがかなり日焼けしてシャワーが痛かったです…)

I went with my husband for this kayaking adventure. We are both very new to this so it was a bit hard at first. I think the hardest thing was understanding the map. However after a while it was great. The only down side is that is was windy and going back did take it out of us. However we did have so much fun at the sand bar. We weren’t able to go snorkeling because we we’re going to run out of time. So buy the 8 hours. It’s worth it

First off, the employees there are very helpful and elaborate when explaining how the tour works. The views all around were absolutely beautiful, one of my favorite experiences during my Hawaii trip. The kayaking was definitely tiring, even though we only went around the closest nearby reefs and it wasn't a windy day. However, it was really cool to be able to anchor the kayak yourself and decide where you want to go. We were able to see lots of coral (even some new, colorful ones!), schools of fish, and 2 sea turtles! Overall, would definitely recommend this tour to others, and would like to come back one day.
