現地1/30(月)
母の還暦祝いにハワイ旅行をプレゼントしました。
1月下旬のハワイは風が強いためかなり肌寒く、スコール頻度が高かったです。
ツアーには日本人が3組と、外国人が3.4組ほどの合同でホテルまでの送迎付きで参加しました。
CMでよく見るサンドバーを想像していましたが、着いた時は曇天、潮位も腰ぐらい、水温もかなり冷たかったので、想像してたのとは違いがありました。
サンドバーでは同じツアーの日本人家族とバレーボールで激しく動いたのでその時は寒さを感じませんでした(笑)
船に戻るとものすごく寒すぎて日本人はみなブルブル震えていました。なので、タオルは多めで大きいの、羽織物も必須です。
船上では、日本人女性ガイドさんが親切にわかりやすく説明してくれました。
昼食は船上で焼いたハンバーガー
美味しかったです♪
ウミガメウォッチングでは、見事に大きなウミガメが何匹も海面に顔を出していました!
さらに、人生初大きな野生のマンタにも会うことができました!
シュノーケリング
思ってたよりかなり深く水深は約10-15mとのこと。
前日の大雨やスコールの影響で水中はかなり濁ってました。
近くまでいかないと何も見えない状況下の中で、なんとか大きな珊瑚と小魚見つけました(笑)
さらに急に野生のウミガメが現れてビックリ!
水温がかなり低かったので長居は出来ませんでしたが、貴重な体験をすることが出来ました!
ハワイ初シュノーケルは天候に恵まれなかったので残念でしたが、ツアー自体は見応えあって満足しています!
次こそは乾季の時期にもう一度トライしたいと思います!

A little difficult to navigate and see things. You’re on your own, so you’ll really need to be cognizant of the area and where to anchor down. Sand bar was a bit out, but was a great experience. Not for beginners but also not terribly difficult. Bring a watch or phone, the kayaks are very stable and didn’t tip on us when trying to get back in. Staff was great

We had a wonderful time on this adventure to the north shore on Oahu. Cousin G was our guide and he did a great job taking care of us and keeping things lively. He was so knowledgeable of the history and the area and all the ins and outs of where to go. He was really funny, too! Waimea falls was beautiful and the next stop we opted for paddle boarding. We didn't see any sea turtles, but it was still fun and peaceful. We had a small group of 10, which I don't think is usual, but it was a treat for us because we could move around easily and quickly get in and out of places. We'd highly recommend this to anyone!!

Me and my partner had a great time. Staff was great and informative. My partner must learn to kayak bad work with me. A great team building excercise. I of course made no errors and had to correct the many errors of my partner . Thank you for a fun time.
Aloha Roman! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure! And thank you for taking the time to leave this awesome review! We really appreciate that! Those tandem kayaks certainly are a team building, relationship counseling type of activity for sure! Glad to hear you and your partner had a great time, and we hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!

LOVED kayaking in the ocean instead of chartering a boat/catamaran out to the sandbar. Spent most of our time on the largest, and should of rowed over to where a guide had nicely dropped a pin for us, but due to time stopped at a closer one, and still got to see A LOT of different fish, SO COOL! and sea life while snorkeling, but no turtles. Great snorkel gear, no fins, but didn't need them. A waterproof cell case is advisable, a hardcase one altho more expensive would of been better, as the water's current pushed against the soft plastic and turned off the video while shooting. Another tip, I'm glad I got water sandals that strapped on, to walk on the sandbar. The water was warm and so clear, and the view of the Koolau Mountains are majestic.
If you have any questions, give em' a call, Andy was so helpful and gracious.
Kamaaina Kayak and Snorkel Eco-Venture IS THE ONE TO BOOK not only is He'eia State Park right at the bay's edge, where the crew helps you launch right into the water. Renting is a bargain and not-for-profit, proceeds help to fund the park, which is managed by Kama'aina Kids, a local childcare org that serves as stewards to the park.
Aloha Susan! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure! And thank you for taking the time to leave this absolutely amazing review! We appreciate that so much and this is so, so awesome and gratifying to hear that you had this kind of experience with us and this kind of experience kayaking and snorkeling in Kane'ohe Bay. It looks like you had a really beautiful day out there. You'll have to come back and do it again soon and find those turtles next time! Mahalo nui loa for your support, and hope to see you again soon!

Uncle Kevin was awesome. Friendly n funny great host/driver. Enjoyed our tour had a great time we did hike to waterfall n kayaking. Worth the money. I would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to enjoy north shore with some history/information.

We were blessed with great weather and had a great time. Our guide, Yuki-san, was happy and energetic, and we really enjoyed the experience at the sandbar. It was the first snorkeling experience for the children, and they seemed nervous, but they were able to try it even in places where they couldn't get their feet on, and they were able to see the fish with their own eyes! The hamburger we ate on board was also exceptional. We had a really valuable experience. thank you very much!

やはり1月の海は寒く、晴れてはいたが直射日光がほぼなかったのでつらかった。子供はくちびるを震わせたりしていた。
サンドバーも到着時には干潮から満潮の間くらいだったはずだがすでに潮位が上がっており、陸地にはなっておらず残念。
ただウミガメやマンタには会えました。
あとシュノーケリングは結構タフで子供をケアしながらの実施はかなり疲れました。

以前天使の海は一度行ったことがあったのですが、シュノーケル付きのツアーは初めてでした。天使の海では海亀とマンタが見れて大満足!そしてランチのハンバーガーも海の上で食べると最高ですね。日本人向けに説明をして頂けるので何も不安な点も無く楽しめました。日本人のみの船ということでは無いので他の国の方とも交流ができてそれもまた楽しかったです。(お互い持ってきたスナックを交換こしたり笑)
シュノーケルは初挑戦でしたが、魚が近くで見れて感動しました!!海なので多少潮に流されそうになりますが近くに人がいるので安心して楽しめました。船の上は寒かったりもするのでバスタオルは大きめで厚めの方がいいと思います。あとはジュエリーは全てホテルに置いてくべし。日焼け止めはあごと首の間が意外と焼けたので、念入りに塗った方がいいです。ハワイ滞在の最後の日に行きましたが本当に行って良かったです。おすすめのツアーです。

いつかは行ってみようと思っていたクアロアランチ。夫がジュラシックパークが好きなのでこちらのツアーにしました。3つのショートツアーを一日かけて周る感じです。90分1コマなのでまるで大学の授業のよう笑 英語の説明ですが、アメリカンジョークも簡単なものだったりするのでそんなに何を話してるかわからない状態にはなりませんが、ハワイの植物を学んだりと意外と修学旅行チックなツアーもありました。マカダミアナッツを自分で割ってフレッシュなものを食べれたりと、映画のロケ地訪問だけではない魅力が詰まったツアーで大満足でした。ただ、拘束時間が長いので短期滞在だと勿体無いかも。往復のバスは極寒なので厚めの羽織ものやパーカーをお持ちになることをおすすめします。

サンドバーは陸地かと思いこんでいました。
が、浅瀬であくまで海です。洋服のままでは行けません。ウミガメは遠目にわかるくらいです。またシュノーケリング体験も足がつく場所ではないので、泳ぎがゼロですと厳しいかもしれません。他にどこに立ち寄るわけでもなく、スタッフの方もフレンドリーで楽しいツアーでした。

We enjoyed the activity. We went to the sandbar during high tide, so the water was up to our knees, just slightly under our hips. The difficulty is easy, especially when it's self-guided. The corals are beautiful when snorkeling! The waterproof maps helps a lot, and obtaining the rentals were a breeze. They provided snorkels, dry bags, maps, flippers, life jackets, and the kayaks. Overall, I would recommend! Bring some snacks, because the four hour rental was exhausting. Just be sure to clean up after yourselves and do not litter!
Aloha! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure! And thank you for taking the time to leave this awesome review for us. We really appreciate that. So glad to hear you had such a great kayaking and snorkeling experience with us, and got to enjoy the sandbar and some other great snorkeling areas it sounds like. That's awesome. All great feedback which is really appreciated. Hope to see you again soon. Mahalo.

We did the Jungle expedition, movie sets and agriculture tours. The guides at the ranch were great. The ranch itself is beautiful. We learned a lot of interesting facts about Polynesian culture, what’s grown on the ranch and got to try a few foods while on the agriculture tour. I took a star off because the bus driver was kind of a jerk. He complained about the other driver and belittled us for not laughing at his jokes or wanting to interact with his aggressive attempt at a side show on the way to the ranch. One lady did attempt to interact with him by asking a question and he got angry with her. No one attempted to engage with him after that. On the ride back to Waikiki he didn’t speak and hurried people off at their stops.

ジャングルの土道を説明しながら疾駆し、広大な景色を満喫した後、映画撮影現場ツアー、農家の生活域への訪問と続いて、どんどん気持ち的に萎えてしまう様だったのが少々残念。同じ様な空間を回るのであれば、乗馬とかサイクリングとかの別形態の体験をした方が良かったかも知れないと、もう少し体験内容の事前説明を募集段階で判るようにしてあったらと思う。

This is one of our favorite things my wife and I were able to do in Hawaii. We made a mistake while making our order, but they were very accommodating and helped us out. The captain and crew were extremely nice and helped set the tone for a good expedition. Quite a few families with kids went along, as well. The captain took time to spend with a young boy, giving him a treat that you could tell made the boy’s day. The trip gives you a great view of the bay, only improved by very a hospitable captain and crew. And we saw lots of turtles! We really appreciated the experience.
