The sandbar itself is an awesome natural phenomenon, and having a top-notch crew that supports you during your visit is a great benefit! Their boat cruise out to the sandbar provides you with water and a snack, as well as offers a place out of the sun to change or use the restrooms which would otherwise be completely unavailable without them. PLUS, they provide so much equipment to snorkel, kayak, play volleyball, and swim with lifejackets that is all included in the initial price. Definitely recommend the banana boat or tube ride though, as the thrill of being pulled behind a speed boat across this paradise is beautiful and quite fun! Overall, excellent experience that allows you to enjoy a natural phenomenon I've never experienced before.

ハワイに来たからには綺麗な海を満喫したかったのですが、
とても楽しめました。50人乗りぐらいの中型船に乗って
サンドバーまで30分ぐらいかけて船出しました。
途中ウミガメやエイを見ることが出来ましたが期待したほどは
見られませんでした。時期的な問題だったのかしら?
サンドバーに着くとすぐにシュノーケリングを貸してもらい
船の上でしっかり見張りがいるところで海中を覗きながら
遊泳をしました。下は殆どがサンゴ礁でその間を色んな色をした
魚が泳いでいるところを見ることが出来ました。
一時間以上海の中にいて、船に戻りますとバーベキューで肉を焼いた
ハンバーガーを各自一個ずつ食べることが出来ました。
お腹が空いたのでもう一個ぐらい食べたかったです。
飲み物は飲み放題でした。
ハナウマには家族でレンタカーを借りてツアーでなく行きましたが、
サンドバーはツアーでしたのでホテルからの送り迎えもあり、
昼食もついて案内人にも親切に説明してもらいましたので
それなりに楽しむことが出来ました。
6人の家族旅行でしたので中高生の孫たちは我々年寄りより
数倍大喜びでした。有難うございました!

Jenna and her crew were fantastic. They ensured we had a wonderful time sailing, snorkeling, and just an all-around fun time on the water. If your looking for good look no further. If you're heading to Hawaii for vacation I just want a quick day of snorkeling Turtle sightings and multitudes of fish you have to go with Jenna's crew

This day will definitely remain in the memory of my children and me for the rest of my life. The trip was wonderful thanks to the activities that were prepared by the ship's crew and of course the unusually beautiful nature around. Huge praise also goes to the crew, who were willing to answer all our questions and very helpful with the activities. Personally, I would like to thank Tyson, who was extremely helpful. If anyone is hesitating whether to try this trip on their vacation, I strongly recommend that don't hesitate for a second, because I guarantee that you won't regret it. Once again, a huge thank you and I wish the whole crew all the best.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL

Mommy daughter trip was the best. This trip is perfect for kids. Plenty of excitement and they move at their own pace. She loved swimming at the Sandbar and watching the sea turtles. We took photos and slashed around. The best was the snorkeling. It was easy for her to learn with practice at the Sandbar. The hot chocolate and Funyuns chips were delicious. Highly recommend for kids of all ages.

家族で参加させて貰いました。
シュノーケリングではまじかで珊瑚礁と魚を見ることができ、家族で一緒にカヤックに乗ったり、オプションですが、バナナボートも体験することができ、子供達も大喜び。家族での良い思い出ができ、次回も参加したいと思います。
この度はツアーへご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。何よりもご家族の良い思い出のお時間になったとお聞きし大変嬉しく思います。このサンドバーでまたお会い出来る日をスタッフ一同楽しみにお待ちしております。KBOS スタッフ一同

7歳の子供を連れて参加しました。船酔いを心配しましたが、船が大きく揺れる事もなく、また片道15分ほどであったので全く問題ありませんでした。
サンドバーは膝丈程の海水があり残念でしたが、何よりシュノーケルが最高でした!ハナウマよりも満喫しました。大きなウミガメから、小さい子供のウミガメまで沢山見られた事がとても良かったです。シュノーケルの時間がもっとあったら良いのに…と家族全員で話しています。

浅瀬になることを期待しないほうがいいです。
アクティブティが沢山あったので楽しかったです。
スタッフの方も日本語の説明や、生の演奏、食事もあったのでとても充実はしました。
席は決まっていて、荷物はそのスペースに置いて海に行きます。
万が一、盗まれた場合は監視カメラがあるそうです。不安な方は荷物に鍵を付けた方がいいです。
少し残念なのが、バナナボートに乗ったんですが。夫婦で乗ってしまったら撮れないので、乗る瞬間だけでも、写真頼めないですかと言ったら、断られました。写真に残らないなら、やらなければ良かったと思いました。
帰りのバスにサングラスを忘れて、サポートセンターに問い合わせたら、ホテルまで届けにきてくれました。こちらも日本語対応ありました。
この度はツアーへご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。バナナボートのお写真はご期待にお応えできなく大変申し訳ありませんでした。潮位につきましては日々変わり、サイトに潮の満ち引き情報が確認できるリンクがありますので次回は是非浅瀬の日を狙って参加してみてください。お待ちしております! KBOS スタッフ一同

シュノーケリングのツアーに参加しました。
ホテルへお迎えに来ていただいたところから始まって、
すべて順調で、快適にハナウマ湾のシュノーケリングを楽しむことができました。
参加者は10人ぐらいで、日本語のできるガイドさんが2名ついてくださったので安心でした。
ハナウマ湾は眺めが最高でした。
日本の珊瑚礁(沖縄とか)と比べて泳いでる魚が大きくてダイナミックでした。

This was our 3rd time on this boat. The crew and musicians are the best around and always make it a great experience. I highly recommend this trip to all that are looking for a fun adventure in one of the most beautiful places on Oahu. Trust me you will not be disappointed.

very disappointed! $140 is way too much. We also paid extra $20 for lunch - and only got a sandwich with 2 pieces of pineapple - I mean this is a SNACK not a Lunch actually..
We were also only allowed to kayak in a certain tiny room. So we basically drove in circles and could not explor the beautiful sandbar - wow. So It would be cheaper if we had rent the kayak by our own!!
Too expensive - would rather pay the half of the price or less, but definitely not more!
Mahalo for your review. We are sorry to hear that you had a disappointing lunch & kayaking. - Team KBOS

とにかく寒かった。寒くて5分も海にいられない。風も強い。天候よくなかった。
カネオヘ在の親戚に、夏の天気はサイクルがあって私達の時はちょうど風があり曇とシャワーが多い数日間だったようです。。。
サンドバー、なかなかみられないようです、
この時は全く見られなかった。海水が胸まであり波も強く、無料のカヤックに乗ったら、すぐに流され、怖かったです。
できるなら、現地で天気見ながら申し込みしたい。
船の方々はとても親切で暖かいです。母が酔い大変でしたが、心温まる対応していただき感謝しております。
この度はツアーにご参加頂き誠にありがとうございました。ハワイの天気は変わりやすく暖かい日もあれば、残念ながら天気が崩れると寒いこともあります。ツアーご参加当日は水位も高く風も強くあいにくお天気だった様で大変残念に思っております。次回は是非晴れた日のまた違った美しいサンドバーを楽しんで頂けるといいなと思っております。この度はご自身の体験をシェアして頂きありがとうございました。 KBOS スタッフ一同

Get on a large boat with about 30 to 40 people to enjoy 20 minutes of live music as it takes us to our destination near the sandbar, then get off the boat and swim over to 4 possible activities:
(1) snorkeling
(2) kayaking
(3) paddle boarding
(4) sunbathing on a floating platform
Lunch is a turkey/cheese croissant sandwich with chips and a drink. I had great fun doing both kayaking and paddle boarding but I didn't do snorkeling. Word of advice - swim fast to either paddle board or kayak otherwise you'll have to wait about an hour for one to be available (first come first serve). Ultimately, everyone had a chance to do all activities but whichever one you are most looking forward to doing - hit it first! NOTE: water is deep in most places so even though you are wearing a lifevest, your feet will not touch the ground - it's not dangerous as there's no heavy surf but I don't want non swimmers to be surprised or panic.

We got the private boat and did the sandbar tour & I can’t recommend this enough! We played at the sandbar, toured the waters and got to see turtles & manta rays! Captain Jeff was helpful, fun & informative, the snacks were tasty and the boat was clean and in great condition. Do this tour!! You won’t regret it! It was the highlight of our trip and the best excursion I have ever done in Hawaii! My husband enjoyed it so much he wanted to do it again but we couldn’t book during the rest of our stay because they were sold out!.
Thank you for choosing Captain Bruce. It is amazing to know that the customer wanted to join our tour again during the stay. Your words made our day! We appreciated your recommendation and highlighting our Captain Jeff!
We're sorry we couldn't accommodate another tour during your stay due to high demand. We hope to welcome you back to Hawaii and on board our tours again in the future.
Aloha and A hui hou :)

Couldn't get tickets for Hanauma Bay, so chose this instead. Sent two 30-somethings on the excursion. They loved it! Saw several large turtles and lots of fish. Leaving off the beach is a plus since we were already laying out there. short and sweet and easy!

ALOHA!
還暦を迎え、久しぶりのハワイ、サンドバーに訪れることができました。
潮位が高く、殆どシュノーケリングばかりでしたが、海の綺麗さと魚の大群に感動しました。
船内での生演奏、ドーナツも美味しかったです。
MAHALO!
また是非参加したいと思います。
この度はツアーへご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。素敵な還暦記念の思い出になっていたら私たちも大変嬉しいです。また是非、ご参加お待ちしております。Mahalo! KBOS スタッフ一同

港から船ですぐに着くところにあります。2部構成ではじめは浅瀬をSUPで楽しみ、後半はシュノーケリングでした。干潮時の砂浜を想像していましたが、満潮時に行ったので、大人の膝上程度の浅瀬でSUPをしました。小さい子は小さいボートフロート(投稿写真)に乗せて、引っ張りまわして遊びました。しかしながら、後半のシュノーケリングの方は、かなり深いところまで行きますので、ライフジャケットをつけていますが、シュノーケリングに慣れていない子供には少しレベルが高いかと思います。結局、子供をZAYAKに乗せましたが、こちらも思ったようには安定せず。しかしながら、ウミガメが結構な確率で見られます。
子供用にもう少し安定感のあるシースルーボートフロート等を貸してくれたらもっと良かったかもしれません。あと、午前中の便は少し海水温が低めです。

7年ぶりの参加で、今回は2歳5歳9歳の子連れ。
せっかく借りたパラソルが強風で使えず。まあこれは7年前も同じ。
せめて9歳の長男はシュノーケリング成功させたかったけど、怖がって断念。
7年前はシャトルサービス45ドルくらいだったと思うが、今は値段がほぼ倍。
全体に、小さな子連れには不向きだと思いましたが、
これは我が家の事情なので、★4つにします。

Most of the crew was nice and friendly. When we signed up for this tour, the two activities my group and I were looking forward to were the Banana Boat and BUmper Tube. However, they ended up being the two activities we least enjoyed. Riders of these two activities are of various ages and the lack of consideration for that was disappointing. The woman that "drove" the boat sped off the from the boarding so fast that are necks jerked back so hard that we were sore the next day. During the ride, we tried to get her attention several timers to slow down because some of us were almost thrown off the boat.
Mahalo for your review. We are very sorry about that you got sore on your neck from our activities. We shared your feedback with the activity provider. We hope your neck is fine now. - Team KBOS

全然浅瀬じゃないって!「天国の海」はどういう意味なのか?事前に言っといてくださいね♪
日本人日系人の日本語の詳しい情報はないみたい
この度はツアーにご参加頂き誠にありがとうございました。ツアーご参加当日の水位はご期待通りでなかった様で大変残念に思っております。潮位は自然条件によって毎日変動しますので水深が深い日もあり砂地が現れないこともあります。潮の満ち引き情報が確認できる(潮見表)のリンクをサイトに載せておりますので次回は是非事前にチェックして水位の低い日を狙ってご参加してみてください。お待ちしております。 KBOS スタッフ一同

I would recommend the sand bar trip to everyone coming to the island, from the minute you step onto the boat,the lovely food,fantastic crew,information and spotting the turtles and rays in the ocean.
My mum as mobility issues and the crew were always on hand to ask and offer help and assistance, Sasha and eggy ( William) I think went up and beyond, especially with photos and handing out snorkels etc.
Both mum and myself said it was the best trip of our holidays.
Keep doing what you are doing you are amazing.

This boating adventure was a fun day for our 3 generational family of 15 people ages 8 to 70. The crew was friendly and very helpful, and even had a table reserved for us so that we could all sit together on the way out to the sandbar. The music was exceptional with professional musicians...ukulele and singing. The boat is big and holds a lot of people comfortably. When we got to the sandbar, we were a bit disappointed that they required everyone to wear a life jacket, and there was no deep water snorkeling. I have been out to this area a few years earlier with a different company that took us to a beautiful snorkel area that I had hyped up to my family, so it was a disappointment that his was not the same place. That is the only reason it is not the highest rating. But we soon got over it, and enjoyed a shallow snorkel, and found that the life jackets worked quite well for the shallow water adventure. The snorkel disappointment was made up for by the kayaks, sups, and volleyball play on the sandbar. The weather cooperated that day, and everyone had a blast. We would do it again, although not it was not really a snorkel boat. Many thanks to the staff and crew for all of their efforts.

今年の1月にも行ったのですが、ここがサンドバー?って思うほど水深がありホヌも見れなかったので、おすすめシーズンの7月にリベンジしました。
タイドグラフも確認し、期待しながらの参加でしたが、到着時はちょっとがっかり...多少は1月よりは浅かったですが、それでも腰ぐらいまでは潮位があり砂浜は全く見れませんでした。それでもスタッフの方たちが、色々盛り上げてくれてて、まぁまぁ楽しめました。最初はSUPを借りて遊んでいました。
後半は参加者で列をつくってシュノーケリング。いるんですね!ウミガメって!たくさん!!テンション爆上がりでした!楽しかったを超えて、少し感動しました!
船内では、スパムおにぎり(ひとり1つ)、スナック、ホットコーヒー、ココア、ジュースなど置いてあるので、移動中など飲食できます。
スタッフの方も皆さんとても明るく、楽しい方たちでした。参加して良かったです!
送迎バスや船移動中は結構寒いので、長袖はあったほうが良いかも...
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーに再度お越しいただきましてありがとうございました。
今回はホヌたちの大歓迎を楽しんで頂けたようで本当に嬉しく思います。ぜひまた遊びにいらしてください。
その日をホヌたちと天国の海で心よりお待ちしております。A hui hou!
