    Unforgettable experience

    The sandbar is beautiful, expectations were clear from staff. The staff was chill and polite. Got to swim along the coral reef and see sea turtles. The spam musubi was very good and there were plenty of drinks. A good option to choose if you speak Japanese too as there were Japanese speaking staff.

    Fun and relaxing

    My wife and I had a wonderful time with Captain Bruce! Captain Robin was great. He knew little secrets of the ocean to take us to see the heart of the ocean! John was great as well! Ready to take a picture for us and answer and questions we had. Hannah was wonderful. She helped my wife with snorkeling and guided us in the corals. Overall, a great experience, would recommend!

    Tour

    The captain and crew were nice, but I would have loved if there was more sun available when sitting on the boat and not just in one confined area.

    Unforgettable memories

    Our whole family participated in this activity. I have two children, one 9 years old and the other 6. I took care of my older child, but my wife doesn't know how to swim, so my younger daughter couldn’t move forward. The staff kindly guided my wife and daughter through the underwater world, making it an unforgettable and relaxing experience for them. Additionally, since there were many Japanese participants in the group, there was a guide who explained things in Japanese. Noticing that we might not understand Japanese, the staff made the extra effort to call us over and communicate in English, which was a very thoughtful gesture, even though we didn’t mind. Furthermore, the driver who picked us up enthusiastically introduced various restaurants and local delicacies along the way, giving us tips on where to find good food. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend this tour.
