ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング 日本語ガイドが海の世界へご案内<シュノーケルセット/終日>

I was able to enjoy it without wasting any time. 無駄なく楽しめました

Reviewed by: atarimae

I was really torn between joining a tour that only included transportation or one that had an instructor. Ultimately, I decided I definitely wanted to have fun, so I signed up for the tour with an instructor. After arriving at Hanauma Bay, we were able to enter without waiting in a long line, and it was easy to move around with just our personal belongings since we didn't have to carry snorkeling gear. This was all thanks to the instructor.

I thought snorkeling would be easy, but it turns out the entry and exit points in the water vary depending on the tide and weather. The instructor was very knowledgeable about where the fish and turtles were, which helped us maximize our experience and minimize fatigue.

I was very satisfied because we were able to see many things we wouldn't have seen if we had gone on our own. The instructor also took photos for us, allowing us to preserve our memories in a tangible way.

送迎だけがついたツアーかインストラクターの方がつくツアーに参加するか大変迷いました。やはり絶対に楽しみたいと思い、インストラクターの方がついたツアーに申し込みました。ハナウマ湾に到着後は長蛇の列に並ぶことなく入場でき、シュノーケルなどの道具も持たずに自分の手荷物を持つだけで移動も楽でした。全てインストラクターの方がいたからです。
シュノーケルに関しても、簡単にできると考えていましたが、潮の流れや天気によって海に入ったり、出てくる場所が違うようです。魚やカメが居る場所も良く熟知されているのでムダなく、体力の消耗も最小限に抑えられ良かったです。
自分達だけで行っていたら、見られなかったものを沢山見られて大満足でした。写真もインストラクターの方が撮ってくださり、思い出も形として残せました。

2.5-Hour Waikiki Guided Turtle Snorkel Tour, Snacks & Drinks - Holokai Catamaran

Great value!

Reviewed by: Jay

Memorable experience! The crew provided a fun relaxed environment. They were attentive to our needs but allowed you freedom to explore the boat. Excellent snorkeling near the reef. My family had the opportunity to view a variety of sea creatures. Free snacks while sailing was an added bonus. Great overall experience at an economical price.

イルカ中学 野生のイルカ&ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ 高速ボートでイルカ遭遇率アップ!<少人数制/ワイキキ&コオリナ送迎可/日本語/ランチ付き>

A lifetime of memories☆ 一生の思い出☆

Reviewed by: つくつく

Under the clear blue sky, I boarded the boat welcomed by a genuine Hawaiian captain and a cheerful crew. Just as we were about to leave the harbor, we encountered a sea turtle right away! And to our surprise, we also saw a pod of dolphins, which is quite rare. We were able to see dolphins several times afterward, and when I jumped into the sea, dolphins were swimming right in front of me. I was truly moved by that sight! The water was so clear that I could see them well. After that, we moved to another spot and met more sea turtles. I was once again touched by the graceful, slow swimming of the turtles! The beautiful, rich sea of Hawaii, the deep blue sky, and the vibrant mountain scenery were so healing that I felt like crying.

The spam onigiri we had for lunch was also delicious. Finally, we danced hula with the crew on the boat. That was really fun too.

It became a treasured memory for a lifetime. I’m really glad I participated. Lastly, Aino, the Japanese staff member, was friendly, and her smile was very lovely and cute. I felt very reassured that I could communicate in Japanese. I definitely want to participate again when I go to Hawaii! 😊

快晴の空の下、生粋のハワイアンの船長さんや明るくて陽気なクルーさんに迎えられて船に乗り込みました。ハーバーを出ようとしたところ、早速ハーバーの中で海亀に遭遇!そしてなんとイルカの群れにも遭遇しました。大変珍しいそうです。その後もイルカの群れに何回も遭遇できて、すぐに海に飛び込むと目の前にイルカが泳いでいました。その光景に心から感動!海の透明度が高いのでしっかりと見ることができました。その後、場所を移動して海亀にも会えました。優雅にゆっくりと泳ぐ海亀にまたまた感動!ハワイの美しい豊かな海、真っ青な空、鮮やかな山の景色に涙が出そうなくらい癒やされました。
お昼ごはんとして頂いたスパムおにぎりも美味しかったです。最後にクルーの方達とフラを船上で踊りました。
それも本当に楽しかったです。
一生の宝物の思い出になりました。
本当に参加して良かったです。
最後に、日本人スタッフさんのあいのさんがフレンドリーで笑顔がとても素敵でキュートでした。
やっぱり日本語が通じるのはとても心強いと思いました。
ハワイに行ったらまた絶対に参加したいと思います(^^)

The sea is too beautiful, and the instructor was very attentive! 綺麗すぎる海と丁寧なインストラクターさん!

Reviewed by: ラベンダー

My spouse and I participated in a snorkeling tour. Our instructor, Chieko, provided explanations about Hawaii during the ride, which really got us excited. When we arrived at Hanauma Bay, the waves were calm and the weather was perfect, allowing us to swim close to sea turtles! I highly recommend this snorkeling experience. However, even though I took motion sickness medication, I still felt a bit seasick, so if you're prone to motion sickness, please be careful.

Thanks to our instructor Chieko, I feel like I'm falling in love with the charm of Hawaii.

Dear Lavender, thank you for joining the Blue Hawaii Divers tour.

It was a lucky day with low tide and calm waves, allowing us to head straight out to sea. We encountered a turtle right after heading out and were able to swim together for a long time. We also met another turtle at Black Point, making it truly a fortunate day.

Please come back to Hawaii again, and we hope to see both of you repeat the experience! We are always here waiting for you. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

ラベンダー様、この度はブルーハワイダイバースのツアーにお越し頂き、ありがとうございます。
この日は引き潮で波もないラッキーな海の状態でしたので、直接、沖を目指した日でした。沖に出てすぐに亀さんに遭遇でずっと一緒に泳げましたね。
ブラックポイントでも別の亀さんと会えて、本当に幸運な日でしたね。ぜひまたハワイにお越しの際にはお二人でリピートしてください!!
いつでもお待ちしております。本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

It would have been perfect if the weather had been nice. 天気が良ければ最高でした。

Reviewed by: SSES

I was a bit disappointed because the weather was bad.
They sell items like motion sickness pills and shoes if needed.
There is an explanation when purchasing, but it can come off as trying to make you buy something.
I was told that I could download photos later, but only one is free.
The rest will incur a fee.
I thought that with the explanation on board, I could download all my favorite photos for free.
I gave the tip to the captain when we disembarked.
I don't want to carry cash, so I would prefer a price that includes the tip.
I would like the tip requirement (percentage of the tour cost) to be clearly stated in the tour details.

天気が悪かったので少しがっかりでした。
酔い止めとかシューズとか必要な場合は販売してもらえます。
販売に際して説明があるのですが買わそうとしている様にも取れます。
写真を後日ダウンロードできるとの事でしたが、
無料なのは1枚だけです。
あとは料金が発生します。
船上での説明の仕方だと好きな写真を全部無料でダウンロード
できると思ってました。

Possibly the most memorable experience on our trip!

Reviewed by: Sandy R

This trip exceeded my expectations. We swam with dolphins several times. One pod consisted of 16 dolphins. And we probably saw 50 green sea turtles. Outstanding! The crew went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great experience. I was saying good bye to my pictures as my camera sank into the coral below. Then Paul dove at least 25 feet underwater to retrieve it. Who could have expected this amount of attention? . As a bonus, he made his pictures available for everyone on board. Thank you, thank you!

Reviewed by: ルルルン

I took my 3-year-old daughter on our first trip to Hawaii. With a small child, there are limits to what you can do, so I pondered various activities in Hawaii, but this tour was completely suitable for little kids (3 years old) and was incredibly enjoyable!

I checked the tide times for Kaneohe in advance and chose a tour date during the lowest water level of our stay in Hawaii. However, whether the weather would be good was up to luck... We were really fortunate, as it was sunny from the morning, and the water level was just about knee-high, so we had a fantastic time. The staff were very friendly, cheerful, and made the experience fun, and they were very kind to my daughter as well. She looked like she was having a great time, and I was so happy to see that. The buffet on the boat was delicious too!

We also got to see sea turtles, and I was surprised at how close they came to us. While the weather can be a matter of luck, I highly recommend that those who will participate check the tide times in advance before signing up!

3歳の娘を連れて、初めてのハワイ。
小さな子供連れだと出来ることも限られていますので、ハワイでやることを色々と悩みましたが、このツアーは小さな子供(3歳)でも全然OKで、とっても楽しめる内容でした!

事前にカネオヘの満潮と干潮を調べて、ハワイ滞在中で最も水位が低い時間帯のツアーの日程を選びました。
でも、天候が良いかどうかは運次第…。
私達は本当に運が良く、朝から晴れて、水位もくるぶしくらいの高さだったので、本当に楽しめました。
スタッフさんたちもとても気さくで明るく楽しく盛り上げて下さり、娘にもとても優しくしてくれました。
娘も本当に楽しそうにしていて、その姿を見られて嬉しかったです。
ボートでのビュッフェも美味しかったですよ♪

ウミガメにも会うことが出来、しかもとっても近くまで来てくれて驚きました。
天候については運の部分もありますが、これから参加される方にはぜひ満潮と干潮の時間を事前に調べてから申し込むことをオススメします♪

Must-do activities on Maui! マウイ島でのマストアクティビティー!

Reviewed by: mandy

My first experience with snorkeling was thrilling, and it became an unforgettable, amazing memory!

We had a full hour at two locations: Molokini Island and a spot where we could encounter sea turtles, allowing us to enjoy the beautiful ocean with its different expressions.

The meals, including breakfast, lunch, and the final bar time, were also satisfying! The lunch burger and Maui beer were especially delicious!

Our Japanese guide, KANA, was very kind and accompanied us into the water, which made me feel secure throughout the experience.

If I ever go to Maui again, I would love to participate once more!

シュノーケリングは初体験で、ドキドキしながら参加しましたが
忘れられない、最高の思い出になりました!

シュノーケリングは、モロキニ島と、ウミガメに出会えるスポットの2か所でたっぷり1時間ずつの時間があり、それぞれ違った表情の綺麗な海を堪能できました♪ 

朝食、昼食、最後のバータイムの食事も充実!
特にランチのハンバーガーと、マウイビールは美味!

Unfortunately, due to the weather, the temperature was lower than expected, and it felt a bit cold on the boat with the wind. A beach towel is a must; I regretted bringing a smaller towel (laughs). The tour staff kept us warm by organizing beach volleyball and encouraging us with their cheers. The hamburgers eaten on the boat were exceptional! I wonder if the title "BBQ" is because they grill the patties and such? Since we had free time in the afternoon, I was able to make the most of the day!

Reviewed by: のべっち

I participated with my wife and our two elementary school children. We visited two snorkeling spots with abundant coral and high visibility, where we saw many tropical fish and even sea turtles. The kids were very excited, and I think it became a memorable part of our trip.

The Japanese staff kindly taught us the procedures and how to use the equipment, and they also recommended spots in the water and informed us when we spotted sea turtles, allowing us to have a safe and fulfilling time.

The hamburgers we ate on the boat, along with the beer, cookies, and coffee during our return trip after snorkeling, were all fantastic and highly recommended under the refreshing blue sky of Maui!

It was unfortunate that we couldn't go to Molokini Island due to strong winds, but as mentioned, we saw plenty of fish and sea turtles, which adds to the excitement for next time.

家内と小学生の子供二人を連れて参加しました。
珊瑚が多く透明度の高いシュノーケリングポイントを2つ回ってくれて、そのどちらでも沢山の熱帯魚、そしてウミガメにも会えました。
子どもたちも大興奮で旅の想い出に出来たのではないかと振り返っています。
日本人スタッフさんが親切に手順や道具の使い方を教えてくれて、更に海の中でもオススメのスポットや海ガメ発見時に場所を教えてくれたりで、安心かつ充実した時間を過ごすことが出来ました。

船の上で食べるハンバーガーや、シュノーケリング後の帰港中のビールにクッキー&コーヒー。爽やかなマウイの青空の下でその全てが最高でオススメです!

風が強くてモロキニ島へは船が出せなかったのは残念なのですが、上述の通り沢山お魚にもウミガメにも会えましたし、次回へのお楽しみ。ということで。

I went directly to the meeting point since I had rented a car. On time, our guide Daisuke arrived. He was amazing!! He claimed to know more about dolphins than anyone else in the world, and he was right.

There were tours for foreigners, and the dolphin spots were crowded, but with his precise guidance, we were able to read the dolphins' movements from the agile boat and dive in!

We were able to see dolphins right in front of us during every dive. I had participated in several tours in Oahu, but this experience was on a completely different level in terms of encounters with dolphins, proximity, and enjoyment.

My middle school daughter was also very satisfied; it was a memorable tour. Thank you, Daisuke. This tour is definitely better than the more famous ones!

Kona Manta Ray Snorkel & Night Dive Tour at Keauhou Bay - Sea Paradise

Seriously glad we did this!

Reviewed by: Sharon

The Sea Paradise crew gave us a great experience, from setting us up with wet suit and snorkel gear to teaching us how to "behave" in the water (#1 rule - Don't touch the Manta Rays, #2 rule - don't pee in the wetsuits - haha! - they provide a bathroom on board), providing drinks and snacks, including hot chocolate which was welcome after the snorkeling. They also made sure we weren't needlessly floating around in the water before the rays showed up, but got us in there in plenty of time to see 4 different rays swimming literally inches below our faces! So cool to see them somersault and glide beneath you. Completely worth the cost! Do this!

Thank you for taking your time to review your manta tour with us. We are happy to know you enjoyed it! Thanks for joining us.
A Hui Hou!

  • Sunset did not disappoint on this Sunset Cruise

  • Sunset with palm trees while leaving the bay

  • The boat was very steady and well equipped. Plenty of room for everyone and their stuff. Also has a bathroom on board!

  • Dropping anchor near the other boats - you have to "share" the rays with the other boats, but they still came to us often. Sorry no pics of rays-they are on my husband's GoPro. But they turned out cool!

You spend 1.5 hours snorkeling with these amazing creatures. Back on the katamaran, lunch was delicious and plenty of cocktails and soft drinks. Then sails up and sail and it was breathtaking! I really can’t say enough good about this cruise. I would do it everyday if I could! Thank you Capt Josh and your awesome crew for making this the experience of a lifetime! They go above and beyond to ensure it is the BEST experience!

2.5-Hour Waikiki Guided Turtle Snorkel Tour, Snacks & Drinks - Holokai Catamaran

BEST THING WE DID IN WAIKIKI BY FAR!!!!

Reviewed by: KRIS & CHELSEA

Captain Ryan and his crew definitely do a great job!! You can tell they all love their job and give their customers 150% every time!! We got to swim with turtles and lots of fish and every time we saw Dolphins they would go chasing them to make sure we got a close look every time. The girls at the front desk were also very helpful and when we wanted to buy souvenirs they went out of their way to go upstairs and show us everything they had. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

An emotional experience!! 感動的な体験!!

Reviewed by: イルカラブ

We were traveling with a 2-year-old, but my mother watched him on the boat, and my husband and I participated in snorkeling together. It started off a bit gloomy with rain in Waikiki early in the morning, but we arrived after about an hour to beautiful weather! Luckily, we were able to see a sea turtle even before boarding the boat. Shortly after departure, we encountered dolphins and hurried into the water! I felt a bit rushed as we jumped into the sea one after another, and I wondered if it might be a bit hard for snorkeling beginners. However, there are guides available for those who are anxious, so it’s reassuring. I was confident in my snorkeling skills, but I ended up more tired than I expected. We only had one snorkeling session with the dolphins, but on the way back to the boat, they swam close to us again, so we had two opportunities to swim with them, which was satisfying. After returning to the boat and moving to another location, we encountered a large group of dolphins, but since it was a spot with many sharks, we watched from the boat. It was great to experience both! We saw a lot of dolphin jumps too! After that, we went snorkeling with sea turtles. We moved to the turtle point and saw them shortly after swimming, which was also satisfying. There were five of them! I knew we shouldn’t touch them, but they came so close that I was desperately trying to avoid bumping into them. The freshly made hamburgers prepared on the boat were also very delicious! After arriving at the port, we even saw a ray! After getting off the boat, we saw sea turtles again at the spot we visited on the way there. Overall, it was an amazing experience from start to finish! I definitely want to participate again when I go to Hawaii!

2歳の子連れでしたが船上では母に見てもらい、シュノーケルには夫婦での参加です☆朝早くワイキキは雨で憂鬱なスタートでしたが1時間程で到着し、着いたらとてもいい天気でした!運良く船に乗る前からウミガメを見ることができました(^ ^)出発後もすぐにイルカに遭遇して急いで海に入りました!!次々と海にジャンプして入るので少し焦りましたが(^-^;シュノーケル初心者には少しハードなのかな?と思いましたが、不安な方はガイドさんが付いてくれますので安心です☆シュノーケルには慣れていて自身があったのですが、思っていたより疲れました(°_°)イルカとのシュノーケルは一回でしたが、船に戻る途中にもう一度近くを泳いでくれたので一緒に泳ぐ?機会は2回あり満足でした☆船に戻り移動してまたイルカの大群に遭遇しましたが、サメが多い場所とのことで船からのウォッチングになりましたが、どちらも体験できたので良かったです(^ ^)イルカのジャンプもたくさん見れました!その後はウミガメとシュノーケルです。移動してウミガメのポイントへ。少し泳いですぐに見れたのでこれも満足です(^ ^)5匹いました!触ってはいけないのは承知ですが、びっくりするほど近づいてくるので当たらないように逆に遠ざかるのに必死な程でした(^-^;船で作ってくれる出来立てのハンバーガーもとても美味しかったです☆港に着いてからは何と!エイまで見れました!!!!船から降りて、行きに見た場所でまたウミガメも見れました☆もう何から何まで最高な体験になりました!またハワイに行くときには絶対に参加したいです(^ ^)☆

It's the best! 最高です!

Reviewed by: フラトモ

Before going to Hawaii, I was concerned about the weather, but it didn't rain and was cloudy instead. It was low tide, and the sandbar appeared beautifully, which was breathtaking. My friend, who was excited to see the honu (sea turtles), was thrilled to spot them popping their heads out of the water and surfacing for air while snorkeling among the corals. It was really great to see that. The crew on the boat was very friendly and provided explanations in Japanese, making me want to go again.

The food was delicious. We walked through the water to reach the sandbar, but the sandbar itself has corals, so it can be painful to walk on it barefoot. I recommend bringing marine shoes if you have them. You can buy them locally, but we went barefoot. The staff were also walking around barefoot. While the tide was coming in, the boat rocked a bit, so if you're prone to motion sickness, I think taking motion sickness medication would be wise. I usually don't get seasick, and I felt I didn't need any medication. I highly recommend the sandbar.

ハワイ行く前に予約して天候が気になりましたが、雨は降らず曇りでした。
ちょうど引き潮の時でサンドバーが綺麗に出現していて感動でした。一緒に行った友達もホヌを見るのが楽しみで、サンドバーに向かっている途中でも海面から頭を出すところやシュノーケリングでサンゴに隠れている所とか呼吸のため海面に上っていく姿見れてすごく良かったです。船の乗組員も日本語で説明してくれたり超フレンドリーな方ばかりでまた行きたいと思うほどです。
食事も美味しかったです。サンドバーまでは海の中を歩いて行きましたが、サンドバー自体がサンゴのため海面から出ると裸足だと痛いです、マリンシューズ持ってる方は持って行った方がいいかと思います。持っていなくても現地で買えますが私たちは裸足で行きました。スタッフさんも裸足でスタスタ歩いていました。海が満ちてきている途中は船が揺れて、車酔いされる方は酔い止めは必要かと思います。私は普段酔わないですが酔い止めはいらなかった感じでした。サンドバーお薦めです。

Snorkeling experience シュノ-ケル体験

Reviewed by: 大阪松原のはるさん

This year, Oahu in Hawaii was unusually cold due to abnormal weather, making it difficult to enjoy ocean activities. It's a shame! Although it was very cold, I thoroughly enjoyed snorkeling in the deep sea near the coral reefs and watching the fish. If the weather had been better, it would have been perfect! However, the BBQ hamburgers on the boat were very delicious, and my grandchildren said the same. Next time, I want to experience it on the Big Island.

たまたま、今年のハワイオアフ島は異常気象で寒くて精一杯 海遊びが楽しめない状況でした。残念‼ただ大変寒かったですが、サンゴ礁付近の深い海に行ってのシュノ-ケルは魚ウォチングを十分楽しめました。天気さえ良かったら最高だったのに・・・‼でも船上BBQハンバ-ガはとっても美味しかった、孫たちも言ってたよ。今度はハワイ島で体験したいと思います。

It was cold, but I was satisfied. 寒かったけど満足です

Reviewed by: ユアパパ

It was a cold day with bad weather, but I was able to see sea turtles, and I was satisfied with the many fish I saw while snorkeling. However, since the sandbar depends on the tide timing, it's better to focus mainly on snorkeling! The staff was good too.

天候が悪く、寒い一日でしたが、海ガメも見れたし、シュノーケリングでは魚が沢山見れて満足です。ただ、サンドバーは潮位のタイミングもあるので、シュノーケリングメインで考えた方がいいでしょう!スタッフもgood

First sandbar experience. 初めてのサンドバー

Reviewed by: NAMI

I think it's a tour that is influenced by the tides. It was my first time participating, but I was able to land on the sandbar successfully. Maybe it's because I've been behaving well lately—haha! I was also able to see the honu (sea turtle) properly. When it was time to return to the port, the guide waved goodbye and came to greet us!

We practiced snorkeling in the shallow waters, and the guide stayed with us, constantly checking in to see if we were okay, which was reassuring. The meal we had on the boat was super delicious. I especially loved the chili beans. I definitely want to participate again!

潮の満ち引きで左右されるツアーだと思います。初めての参加でしたが、しっかりサンドバーに上陸出来ました。日頃の行いが良いからかなぁー笑
ホヌちゃんにもしっかり会う事ができました。また、港に蛙時間になったら、武具さんがバイバーイって、ご挨拶に来てくれました!!
浅瀬で、シュノーケリングの練習もするし、一緒に着いてきてくれて、また大丈夫?って、常に声をかけてくれるので安心でした。
船で頂いた食事も、超~美味しかったです。
特にチリビーンズがお気に入りです。
是非、また参加したいでーす。
