Hanauma Bay Snorkel Tour with Expert Guide & Waikiki Transportation

Friendly and well prepared guide-worked well with grown ups and kid

Reviewed by: CaliforniaFamily

Our guide was cheerful, efficient (this is important when getting novices into a wetsuit!), and informative. She asked us what we wanted to see, and when my daughter said turtles, she took us straight to two turtles after an introductory snorkel lesson. This was my second trip to Hawaii, and I was so glad I finally took a lesson. For the next week, I was able to finally relax, enjoy, and see a lot of interesting sea life. The snorkel at Haunama was spectacular also.

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング ベテラン日本語ガイドがご案内する少人数制ツアー 貸切プランあり<半日>

It was my first time snorkeling, and I had a great time! はじめてのシュノーケルでしたが楽しめました!

Reviewed by: ねこたろう

I wasn't able to swim as well as I thought during my first snorkeling experience, but they taught me very kindly, and I was able to enjoy it.

Hanauma Bay was also very beautiful, and I am very satisfied.

The photos were really beautiful, and I took a lot of them. Since returning to Japan, I often reflect on the experience! Thank you very much.

はじめてのシュノーケルで、思ったよりも上手く泳げなかったのですが、とても優しく教えて下さり、楽しむ事ができました。

ハナウマ湾もとても素敵で、とても満足しています。

写真もとても綺麗で沢山とっていただいて、日本に帰ってきてからも、よく思い返してみています!ありがとうございました。

Dear Nekotaro, thank you for joining the tour with your partner. I'm very glad to hear that you both enjoyed it. On that day, there were seals napping on the sandy beach at Back Door Lagoon, the sea conditions were great, and we were lucky to see turtles multiple times. I hope you will consider repeating the experience when you come back to Hawaii. You'll be able to swim even more easily the second time around. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

ねこたろう様、この度はお二人でツアーにお越し頂きありがとうございます。とても楽しんでいただけた様で嬉しく思います。この日はバックドアラグーンの砂浜にはアザラシがお昼寝をしていたり、海の状態も良く、亀も何度も見れてとてもラッキーな日でしたね。是非是非またハワイにお越しの際にはリピートしていただければと思います。2度目の時にはもっと楽に泳げますよ。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

This is an excellent company to tour with. The weather could have been better, but that is out of their control. They were very friendly and professional, and the boat was clean and fun. Would consider them again, snorkeling was okay, I've had better and worse.

サンドバー天使の海 シュノーケリング&ウミガメウォッチクルーズ 船上のBBQグリルで焼くハンバーガーランチ付き!<午前/日本語クルー>

It was an interesting experience! 興味深い体験です!

Reviewed by: otan123

Since I was planning to go to the North Shore in the afternoon, I chose this plan without a shuttle service. I arrived by rental car, and although there was no bench at the meeting point "Deli," the local staff were accommodating, so it wasn't a problem. I was worried about whether the tour would proceed due to the rain in the morning, but we only experienced a delay in preparation because of the rain, and we departed 15 minutes later with two boats. Everyone was Japanese, and it seemed that many participants were those who had taken the shuttle from Waikiki. Perhaps there was a Japanese-speaking guide. Despite the rain getting stronger at times, I didn't feel seasick, and we were able to see both sea turtles and manta rays. The water at Sandbar was about knee-deep, but I was very satisfied that we could land there. I didn't have high expectations for snorkeling, but there were life jackets available, so it was completely fine even if you couldn't swim. There were about 40 people swimming in lines along the coral reef, and since the time was limited and we swam the same route back and forth, it was crowded. My child was more concerned about bumping into the feet of the person in front or hitting the coral rather than looking at the fish, so it might have been better to wait on the boat. The participants were obedient to the instructions of the two Japanese female staff members, but one was kind while the other couldn't hide her condescending attitude. At the very beginning, when assigning guests to the boats, it seemed they didn't grasp the number of people who weren't participating via the shuttle bus, or perhaps their Japanese was actually limited. They acted arrogantly as if there were customers boarding without permission after exceeding the boarding limit, and after a debate about what was said, one of them yelled in Japanese, "Isn't it enough to just apologize?!" and then continued to assert herself in English towards her busy colleague, treating us as if we were completely at fault, which made for a rather strange experience in Hawaii. If there were English speakers present, that behavior wouldn't have happened. However, I have great respect for the local staff who worked hard without showing any displeasure in the rain. It seems there are no showers at the port, so I think it's better to prepare to return in wet swimsuits with towels and warm clothing. You can leave your belongings on the boat, but since there are no waterproof bags, it's also good to prepare for that.

午後にノースショアへ行く予定だったので、送迎ナシでこのプランを選びました。レンタカーで到着し、集合場所の「Deli」のベンチはなかったですが、現地のスタッフが対応してくれて問題なかったです。朝から雨で催行されるのか不安でしたが、雨で準備が遅れただけで二船で15分後に出航しました。全員日本人で、ワイキキからの送迎による参加の方が多かったようです。もしかしたら日本語ガイド付きだったのかもしれません。ときおり強くなる雨の中、酔う事もなく、ウミガメもマンタも見られて、サンズバーは膝ぐらいでしたが、上陸出来て大満足です。シュノーケリングはあまり期待してなかったのですが、ライフジャケットがあり、泳げなくても全然大丈夫です。40人ぐらいでサンゴ礁に沿って数列で泳ぐ形でしたし、時間も限られ往復同じ経路を泳ぐため混みこみで、前の人の足があたるか、サンゴに足が当たるかに気をとられ、魚を見るよりそちらを気にして子供は怖がっていました。船で待っていても良かったかもしれません。参加者の皆さん、素直に二人いる日本人?女性スタッフの言うことに従っておられましたが、一人は親切、一人は上からな態度が隠せないスタッフでした。最初どちらの船に客を割り振るかの時点で、送迎バスで参加していない人の人数を把握していないのか、日本語が実は不自由なのか、乗船制限を超えて割り振った挙句、勝手に乗り込んでいる客がいるかのように横柄に振る舞い、言った言わないの水かけ論の後、謝ればいいんでしょ!と日本語でわめき、その後も忙しく準備している同僚に対し英語で自己主張し、こちらに全部非があって、完全に変な客扱い・発言で、ハワイに来て違った意味で興味深い体験でした。英語圏の人がいたらあの振る舞いはないでしょうね。でも雨の中嫌な顔一つ見せず頑張っていた現地スタッフの方たちの働きには頭が下がりました。港にはシャワーがない様子なので、タオルや防寒具など濡れた水着のまま帰る準備をしておいた方が良いと思います。荷物は船に残しておけますが、防水バッグ等はないのでそちらの準備もしておくと良いです。

4.5-Hour Sea Paradise Premium Kealakekua Bay Snorkel Tour with Breakfast & Lunch

Highly recommanded

Reviewed by: Monica

Not like other cheaper speed boats, it was a smooth sailing catamaran. Even a pregnant woman was on the board. They offer a breakfast such as 3 kinds of bread, fruits and drinks. For lunch, I enjoyed make-my-own delicious sandwiches and chips. After snorkeling, they offered some cookies and hot drinks. Most of all, the staffs was so cheerful and helpful. On the way to the snorkeling spot, captain Morgan caught a huge ono. I specially want to thank Joey for teaching me how to snorkel. Thanks to her, I could enjoy the beautiful underwater. She made my day!
I highly recommand this fun trip to everyone.

It wasn't what I expected, and I was a bit disappointed. I felt that it wasn't worth the participation fee. The weather was bad, and it was too cold to even get into the water without shivering, so there was no way I could go snorkeling. I also couldn't see the scenery that looks so beautiful in photos.

野生のマンタ シュノーケリングツアー <英語ガイド/軽食付き>

I was able to see a manta ray up close! マンタを間近で見られた!

Reviewed by: しゅがー

I read the reviews here and made a reservation.

I stayed at the Sheraton Hotel. Around noon, I stopped by a shopping center just a 5-minute drive away and checked in at the store. When I arrived at the designated location at 5:45 PM, I was explained in English that I should ask about the car that was parked there. Honestly, I didn't understand what they were saying, but I somehow got the gist through gestures.

When I arrived at the designated spot around 5:30 PM with the rental car, the same car was parked there, and they were handing out wetsuits in the parking lot. You try it on right away, and if it doesn’t fit, you can exchange it. So, you need to wear your swimsuit before going. The parking lot at the harbor is small, so we barely managed to park, but those who couldn't park had to leave their cars at the edge of the road.

I was told to put on the wetsuit and wait on the boat. On the boat, you can have snacks and fruits, but honestly, while waiting for the sun to set, I felt seasick from the waves and couldn't enjoy it. They also serve cold juice if you ask. There was a restroom on the boat. I was told that warm drinks would be served last because it gets cold after you warm up and then enter the water.

To enter the water, I was instructed to hook a noodle (a float) around my ankle and enter horizontally. I only understood a little English, but by watching gestures and other guests, I managed to figure it out. We were the only Japanese people there.

When we finally turned on the lights and entered the sea, a manta ray swam right past me the moment I got in. You’re not supposed to touch the manta rays, but they were gracefully swimming close by, feeding on the surface. I was truly amazed to see them up close. In total, about five manta rays swam nearby. While I was watching one manta ray on my right, I almost collided with another one that approached from the left without me noticing. Watching the manta rays swim elegantly in front of me made me forget about my seasickness.

I was in the water for about 45 minutes, and I only missed seeing manta rays for about 5 minutes. However, it was late March, and it was incredibly cold; my hands were numb during the last 10 minutes. Just floating in the water made the cold and seasickness tough to handle. I was wearing a wetsuit over my rash guard and swimsuit leggings, so I only felt cold towards the end, but my husband was just in a swimsuit and a short-sleeved wetsuit, and he seemed to be shivering uncontrollably after just 10 minutes.

When the time was up, we got back on the boat and had some snacks and warm drinks. They served cocoa, but since I was feeling very seasick, I opted for warm green tea. Once I dried off on the boat, I felt much warmer and better. We returned the snorkels and wetsuits on the boat, and when we arrived at the harbor, we just dispersed.

I think if you come to the Big Island, you absolutely should go on this tour. I believe it’s fine even if you don’t speak English, but for those who are anxious, a Japanese tour might be more reassuring. We thought since we came all the way to Hawaii, we should sign up for this tour, and I’m glad we did.

As advice, it would be great to have a waterproof camera and an underwater flashlight.

ここで口コミを見て、予約しました。

シェラトンホテルに泊まっていました。そこから車で5分のショッピングセンターに寄ったお昼ごろに、お店に立ち寄りチェックインをしました。夕方5:45に指定の場所に来たら、この車が止まっているからたずねてね、というようなことを英語で説明されました。正直、何を話しているかわからなかったですが、何となく身振り手振りで伝わりました。

レンタカーで、指定の場所に5:30ごろに行くと、先ほどの車が止まっていて、ウェットスーツの貸し出しを駐車場で行っていました。すぐに着てみて、無理そうだったらサイズ交換といった感じですので、水着は着用してから行く必要があります。港の駐車場は狭いので、私たちはぎりぎり駐車できましたが、駐車できなかった人は、路上の端に駐車していました。

ウェットスーツを着て、船上で待つように言われました。船上では、スナック菓子やフルーツが食べられますが、正直、日が沈むまで待つ時間、波に揺られ酔ってしまい、それどころではありませんでした。つめたいジュースなども頼めば出してくれます。トイレも船の中にありました。
暖かい飲み物は、身体が温まってから水に入ると寒いから、最後に出されるといった説明がありました。
入り方は、ヌードルと言われるウキを足首にひっかけて、身体を水平にして入るようにと言われました。何となくしか英語がわかりませんでしたが、身振り手振りや、他のお客さんを見ているとわかります。日本人は私たちだけでした。

いざ、ライトをつけて海に入りました。入った瞬間から、目の前をマンタが通り過ぎました。マンタにさわってはいけませんが、本当にすれすれのところをくるくるとまわって餌を食べていました。こんなに間近で見られるなんて、本当に感動しました。
結局5匹ほどのマンタが近くで泳いでいました。右で泳いでいるマンタを見ていると、左から迫ってきたマンタに気づかず、思わずぶつかりそうになりました。目の前で優雅に泳ぐマンタたちを見ていると、船酔いも忘れてしまいました。
45分ほど入水していますが、マンタが見られなかった時間は5分ほどだけでした。ただ、3月下旬でしたが、ものすごく寒くて、最後の10分ほどは手がかじかんで、感覚がなくなっていました。
浮いているだけなので、寒さと船酔いはつらかったです。
ただ、私はラッシュガードと水着のレギンスの上からウェットスーツを着ていたからか、最後のほうだけ寒さがつらかったですが、旦那は水着にウェットスーツ(全て半そで半ズボン丈)だけだったので開始10分後から震えが止まらないようでした。

時間が来たので船に上がり、スナック菓子や暖かい飲み物をいただきました。ココアが配られましたが、私は船酔いがひどかったので暖かい緑茶をいただきました。船上で体を乾かすと、だいぶ温まり気分がよくなりました。船上でシュノーケルとウェットスーツを返し、港についたら、そのまま流れ解散です。

ハワイ島に来たら、絶対にこのツアーに行くべきだと思いました。英語ができなくても、問題ないと思いますが、不安な方は日本語のツアーの方が安心かなと思いました。わたしたちはせっかくハワイに来たのだから、と思いこのツアーに申し込みました。ここにしてよかったと思います。

アドバイスとしては、水の中でとれるカメラと水中の懐中電灯があるといいです。

Reviewed by: ふみよ

I participated with my 5-year-old son and family.

I was worried about seasickness, but we arrived at the sandbar in about 10 to 15 minutes. During that time, we enjoyed freshly made malasadas, and by the time my son was engrossed in eating, we had reached the sandbar.

The guide staff were friendly, and we had a great time. They paid special attention to the children, engaging with them and playing together, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

We were able to take many photos at the sandbar.

We split into groups for snorkeling and playing at the sandbar, and we chose to stay at the sandbar.

During that time, we were lent floaties and paddleboards, allowing us to have fun and take many photos that captured the essence of Hawaii.

The lunch buffet was also very delicious.

This is a tour I would like to join again if I have the opportunity.

On the way back, we rode the bus in our swimsuits, but there were towels on the seats, so there was no discomfort at all.

5歳の息子と家族で参加しました。

船酔いも心配しましたが、サンドバーまで10分か15分くらいで到着。
その間出来立てのマラサダを頂いて、息子は夢中で食べてる間にサンドバー到着。

ガイドのスタッフの方も気さくで楽しく過ごせました。
子供を特に気にして頂いて、たくさん声を掛けてもらったり、一緒に遊んでもらってずーっと楽しく過ごせました。

サンドバーで写真もたくさん撮ってもらえました。

シュノーケリングするグループと、サンドバーで遊ぶグループに分かれて、私達はサンドバーに残りました。

その間、浮き輪やパドルボートなどを貸して頂いて、楽しく遊べてハワイらしい写真もたくさん撮れました。

ランチバイキングもすごく美味しかったです。

また行く機会があれば参加したいツアーです。

帰りのバスは水着のまま乗りますが、シートにはバスタオルがひかれていて、不快感はまったくなかったです。

It's an enjoyable tour. 楽しめるツアーです

Reviewed by: かなかなかな

Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy and cold on the day of the tour, which made the conditions less than ideal, but I thought the tour itself was very good. I can only imagine how much fun it would have been if it had been sunny!

Despite the weather bringing everyone's spirits down a bit, our guide Yuki's bright enthusiasm really lifted the mood. She was amazing. Looking back, I have nothing but good memories. I realized how much the experience can change depending on the staff. (The day before, on a tour with another company, both the weather and the guide were quite gloomy and terrible.)

The travel time, time to play at the sandbar, time to observe sea turtles, and time for snorkeling were all perfectly balanced, making it a tour that never got boring. I would definitely like to participate again.

The air conditioning on the bus to the destination was freezing, but the driver didn't turn it off. I hope this can be improved. On the way back, thanks to Yuki's help, it was comfortable. Thank you.

残念ながら当日は曇天で寒くて、条件は悪かったのですが、このツアー自体はとてもいいと思いました。晴れていたらどんなに楽しかったことか!
天気のせいで皆のテンションも下がり気味だったのに、ガイド役のyukiさんの明るい頑張りで、盛り上げてもらえました。すごい力量です。帰ってきてみればよい思い出ばかりです。スタッフさん次第で、ずいぶん変わるものだと思いました。(前日別の会社のツアーは、天気と一緒にガイドも曇り顔でひどかったです)
移動時間、サンドバーで遊ぶ時間、ウミガメを観察する時間、シュノーケルをする時間、どれもちょうどよく、飽きないツアーでした。また是非参加したいです。
行きのバスのエアコンが死ぬほど寒かったのに、ドライバーさんはオフにしてくれませんでした。改善してほしいです。帰りは、yukisanの口添えのおかげか快適でした。ありがとう。

This was an absolutely recommended tour that you should definitely join.
I participated with my husband, who was visiting Hawaii for the first time, while I was on my second trip. I was looking for places that are not the usual tourist spots in Hawaii, and I discovered this tour!
After reading the reviews, I thought, "This is it!" and signed up immediately, which turned out to be a great decision; it was truly a wonderful tour.
The female guide and instructor was friendly, cheerful, and knowledgeable, explaining Hawaii's legends in an easy-to-understand and thorough manner, allowing us to feel as if we were seeing the same scenery as the people from long ago. It was truly breathtaking!
At the beach where we went snorkeling, we were the only Japanese people there, and there were only a few tourists, so it felt very private. We enjoyed a lunch picnic on the beach with lunch bought from a local supermarket, soaking in the relaxed local vibe.
The care provided by the guide during snorkeling was excellent, making it easy to enjoy even for beginners.
Swimming while searching for fish among the rocks was a lot of fun.
We were able to see many cute fish.
The driving was very skillful, and it was a pleasant ride, comfortably moving while enjoying the ever-changing scenery from Waikiki.
I want to join this tour again.
Thank you very much.

For our son, who loves the ocean and marine life, it was a precious experience that he will never forget. It was a wonderful time where we could truly experience the deep charm of the Big Island of Hawaii. Thank you very much!

7歳になったばかりの息子と、家族3人で参加しました!ガイドの方に、息子を手厚くフォローして頂き、イルカの大群やマンタまで、間近で見ることができました!海や生き物が大好きな息子にとって、生涯忘れられない貴重な体験ができました。ハワイ島の奥深い魅力を体感できた素晴らしい時間でした。本当にありがとうございございました。

モロキニ島シュノーケリングクルーズ <朝・昼食付/現地集合>

Turtles in the transparent sea. 透明な海にカメも

Reviewed by: かなこ

Snorkeling in the beautiful, sunny sea was a lot of fun. I was able to see three turtles, and both breakfast and lunch were delicious. Our Japanese guide, KANA, was very kind and made it a wonderful memory.

When we said goodbye on the boat, I regretted not being able to give a tip afterward. If I have the chance to meet her again next time, I would definitely like to express my gratitude.

晴れてきれいな海でのシュノーケリングはとても楽しかったです。カメも3匹も見れたし、朝食も昼食もおいしかったです。日本人ガイドのKANAさんもとても親切に案内してくださってとてもよい思い出になりました。
帰り船内でお別れしたのですが、そのあとチップをお渡しできなくて申し訳ないことをしたのが心残りでした。
次回もしお会い出来たら、ぜひお礼したいです。

サンドバー天使の海 シュノーケリング&ウミガメウォッチクルーズ 船上のBBQグリルで焼くハンバーガーランチ付き!<午前/日本語クルー>

The staff members were wonderful! ^ - ^ スタッフの皆さんが素敵でした^ - ^

Reviewed by: はるママ

The clouds were out, and the sea's transparency could have been a bit better, but the staff were cheerful and we had a great time. We played beach volleyball at the sandbar, and they taught us various photo poses and took lots of pictures, creating many wonderful memories! The hamburgers for lunch were very filling and delicious. My son was so satisfied that he even asked for a second helping. My daughter had an amazing experience when a sea turtle suddenly swam right in front of her while snorkeling, and I missed it, which I find quite envious. Thank you very much!

雲がでていて、海の透明度はもう少しでしたが、とにかくスタッフの皆さんが明るくて、楽しかったです。
サンドバーでビーチバレーをしたり、写真のポーズを色々教えてくれて撮ってくれて沢山の思い出をもらいました!ランチのハンバーガーは、とてもボリュームがあり美味しかったです。息子はなんとおかわりまてして大満足でした。
娘はシュノーケリングの際、突然目の前をウミガメが横切り最高だったようで、私は間に合わず羨ましい限りです。ありがとうございました!

モロキニ島シュノーケリングクルーズ <朝・昼食付/現地集合>

I saw a turtle! タートルが見られた!

Reviewed by: tks

On the day of the trip, the wind was strong, so we couldn't go to Molokini Island. However, instead, we visited two other locations and were able to see turtles.

At the snorkeling spots, the waves were small despite the wind, so there were no issues. The staff members were very friendly, and there was no need to worry even for beginners. Meals were prepared for both breakfast and lunch, and for lunch, we made our own burgers by choosing our own toppings.

I would like to use their services again when I come to Maui.

当日、風が強くモロキニ島へは行くことができませんでした。しかし、代わりに他の場所を二箇所回って頂き、タートルも見ることが出来ました。
シュノーケルスポットでは風の割に波は小さく、問題ありませんでした。スタッフの方々もとても親切で、初心者でも何の心配もありませんでした。食事も朝、昼と準備され、お昼はハンバーガーを自分たちで具を選んで作ります。
また、マウイに来た際はお世話になりたいと思います。

マンタ大学夜学部 野生のマンタ&ナイトシュノーケリングツアー <送迎可/日本語スタッフ乗船日あり>

Mantas are enchanting. マンタは幻想的です

Reviewed by: はるママ

I was happy to see manta rays up close. I got seasick on the boat ride to the manta viewing point and had to give up and return to the boat while watching the manta rays. However, the manta rays were adorable, and the guide was very kind and informative. It was very cold on the return boat ride since it was nighttime.

マンタを身近に見れて幸せでした。
マンタを見れるポイントまで船での移動で船酔いしてしまい、マンタを見てる途中でギブアップで船に戻りました。
でもマンタは可愛く、ガイドの方もとても丁寧に教えてくださいました。
夜なので、帰りの船はとても寒かったです。

2.5-Hour Spirit of Aloha Waikiki Turtle Snorkel Tour with Cocktails from Hilton

Morning snorkel cruise from the Hilton Pier

Reviewed by: Howard

We took the Lunch cruise from the Hilton Pier on Waikiki beach to see the sea turtles, it was a great time to go out onto the water. Nice short ride out to the turtle area. The crew was fantastic, very informative and friendly. Gave great instructions on how to see the turtles and one of the crew members was in the water for assistance and to answer questions. After viewing the turtles they put the sail up and we sailed a little further out to sea and that was fun and exciting. Very nice lunch buffet and a few Mai Tais also made it a great time. Clean boat, great crew, nice lunch and got to swim with the Turtles! Will definitely do this cruise again when back on Waikiki.

プライベートチャーター ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリング+イルカウォッチングツアー!GoProレンタルあり<午前/日本語ガイド>

You can trust Daisuke and the captain to take care of it! だいすけさんとキャプテンに、任せて安心!

Reviewed by: も〜〜

Daisuke really loves dolphins, and that came across clearly. When I saw Daisuke swimming with the dolphins, he looked just like one of them (laughs). I have some snorkeling experience, but I was anxious in deep water where I couldn't touch the bottom. Daisuke was incredibly considerate, holding my hand at times and guiding me to the best positions. Thanks to him, I encountered many dolphins. When I was focused on looking ahead, he would quickly let me know if there were dolphins behind us, so I didn't miss anything! He was more persistent than other tour boats.

Even for someone like me who isn't great with speed, the veteran captain's driving was reassuring, and I didn't feel scared at all. I recommend this company's tour to those who might be a bit nervous.

だいすけさんは、本当にイルカが好きなんだなぁって、伝わって来ました。だいすけさんがイルカと泳いでいる姿は、イルカに見えましたもん(笑)シュノーケルの経験はありますが、足のつかないところは不安な私に気遣い120%で、所々手を引いてベストポジションに連れて行っていただきました。お陰様で、たくさんのイルカに遭遇出来ました。前ばかり向いていると後ろにいたりするのですが、後ろにいるよ〜〜とか、すかさず教えてくれるので、見逃しません!他ツアーの船よりも粘ってくれます。
スピードが苦手な私でも、ベテランキャプテンの運転は安心感があって、ちっとも怖くなかったです。ビビリの方にもこの会社のツアーをお勧めします。

The sea was very beautiful! とても海が綺麗でした!

Reviewed by: たなつ

We participated as a couple. Unfortunately, the weather was bad on the day, and it was very cold, so we couldn't stay in the sea for long. However, thanks to the staff's fun talks, we were able to have a great time. There was a beach volleyball net set up at the sandbar, and I think it would have been even more enjoyable on a warm day. We did snorkeling near the coral, and since it was shallow, we could see many fish up close. There were also families with small children participating, and the kids were able to enjoy themselves safely, so I recommend this activity for families!

夫婦2人で参加しました。当日は生憎のお天気でとても寒かった為、海にながく入っていることができませんでしたが、スタッフさんの楽しいトークのおかげでワイワイ楽しく過ごすことができました。サンドバーにはビーチバレーのネットが張ってあり、暖かい日であれば更に楽しかっただろうなぁと思います。シュノーケリングは珊瑚の近くで行い、浅かったため近くで沢山の魚をみることができました。小さいお子さんを連れた家族も参加されており、お子さんも安全に楽しめていたので家族で参加されるのもオススメです!

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング ベテラン日本語ガイドがご案内する少人数制ツアー 貸切プランあり<半日>

I was able to see the honu twice! °ʚ(*´꒳`*)ɞ°. ホヌに2回も会えました°ʚ(*´꒳`*)ɞ°.

Reviewed by: まめぼん

The weather was cloudy with some waves, and the visibility wasn't great, but thanks to Dan and Chieko's excellent guidance, we encountered a honu (sea turtle) twice. We also came across large schools of fish and saw many colorful and rare fish.

Since my older child is 12 and my younger one is 6, they took breaks along the way. When my younger child's glasses slipped and caused a panic, they quickly helped out. My wife, who can't swim because she's afraid of water, was kindly taught how to manage. We encountered the honu again.

We ended up retiring partway through because my younger child got tired, but he seemed satisfied. I would love to do this again if the opportunity arises.

For those considering snorkeling, I highly recommend it. However, it seems there are days when the weather and waves can be challenging, so users need to understand that aspect.

天気は曇りで波も少しあり、透明度は良くなかったけどダンさんとチエコさんの抜群の案内でホヌに2回も遭遇しました°ʚ(*´꒳`*)ɞ°.
魚の大群にも遭遇したり、カラフルな魚や珍しい魚をいっぱい見ましたꉂꉂ(ᵔᗜᵔ*)笑
上の子12歳、下の子が6歳だったので途中で休憩しながら進んでくれました。途中下の子のメガネがズレてパニックになってる時もすぐに対応してくれ、しかもウチの嫁さんはカナヅチで泳げないのに優しく教えていただき。ホヌにも遭遇しました‎|•'-'•)و✧ 途中でしんどくなり、下の子とリタイヤしましたが本人は満足そうですꉂꉂ(ᵔᗜᵔ*)笑
また機会があればお願いしたいです。
これから、シュノーケルを考えてる方がいるなら、オススメします‎|•'-'•)و✧
ただし天気や波でどうにもならない日もあるみたいなので、そこだけ利用者も理解は必要です。

Thank you for participating with your family of four. Even in March, the water temperature was still quite cold, and there were some waves, but everyone did their best. It was great that the 6-year-old and your wife were able to see a turtle at the beginning of the tour! We were able to meet a second turtle at Sandman's Patch, so it was worth the effort despite the cold. We look forward to welcoming you all back again. The envelope for the wetsuit fee has also arrived safely.

Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

この度はご家族4名様でご参加いただき、ありがとうございます。3月に入ってもまだまだ水温は冷たく、少し波ありではありましたが、みなさん頑張ってくださいました。ツアーの最初にカメが見れたので6歳のお子様や奥様にもカメを見ていただけて良かったです!サンドマンズパッチでは2匹目のカメに会えましたし、寒いのに頑張った甲斐がありましたね。ぜひまた皆様でお越しいただけますことをお待ちしております。ウェットスーツ代の封筒も無事に届いております。

I was so moved by my experience swimming with dolphins on Oahu that I made it my number one goal to participate on the Big Island as well. There were so many different types of dolphins, and they seemed to swim more freely and naturally than the ones on Oahu! The number of dolphins was incomparable!

With Captain Hitomi and guide Daisuke as a fantastic duo, the journey was enjoyable and I felt safe throughout. I was able to go into the ocean multiple times and swim with the dolphins! I will definitely participate again when I come back to the Big Island!

オアフ島でドルフィンスイムを経験した感動から、ハワイ島でも1番の目的で参加しましたが、イルカの種類もたくさん、オアフ島のイルカよりものびのび、ナチュラルに楽しそうに泳いでくれるイルカに感動でした!!
オアフ島とは比べものにならない群の数でした!
キャプテンひとみさんとガイドのダイスケさんの名コンビで道中も楽しく、安心して過ごせ、また何回も海に入らせて頂きイルカと泳がせてもらうことができました!!
またハワイ島に来たら必ず参加します!
