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 turtles. 亀も見れました

Reviewed by: カンタベリーで感動した人

On the day of the tour, we had a plan for the afternoon, and it was just my husband and me participating. Our guide was Chieko, a very friendly Japanese woman. She was quite experienced, and she seemed to know everyone at Hanauma Bay. It had been quite a challenge for us since we participated in a snorkeling tour in Saipan 30 years ago, but Chieko efficiently taught us the snorkeling techniques, so we felt comfortable joining in. She also took underwater photos and shared them with us. She guided us expertly to points where many fish were swimming. To our surprise, we even saw a turtle. It was an unforgettable and wonderful memory. I’m really glad we participated. Hanauma Bay is thoroughly protected, so the water is very clear and beautiful, and the fish are impressively large. They grow big because they are protected. We saw mongooses playing on the beach. With the life jackets, we floated safely, and by moving our fins, we could swim forward. All we had to do was breathe through our mouths instead of our noses. My husband and I confidently recommend this tour to everyone.

当日は午後からのプランで、参加者は私達夫婦だけでした。担当はchiekoさん。とっても気さくな、日本の方でした。相当なベテランの方で、ハナウマ湾の係りの方は皆、知り合いでした。私達はなにしろ、サイパンで30年前にシュノーケルツアーに参加して以来のチャレンジですが、chiekoさんが手際よくシュノーケルの要領を教えてくれたので安心して参加出来ました。水中写真も撮っていただいてアップして下さいました。魚が沢山泳いでいるポイントを要領よく案内していただきました。なんと、亀も見れました。一生忘れられない素晴らしい思い出です。本当に参加して良かったです。ハナウマ湾は自然保護が徹底しているので、水はとっても透き通ってきれいですし、お魚さんのなんと大きいこと。迫力満点です。保護されているので、大きく育つそうです。海岸ではマングースが遊んでいました。ライフジャケットで体は浮いているので、安心ですし、足ヒレを動かせば前に進みます。後は鼻で息をしないで、口で呼吸すればいいだけです。私達夫婦はこのツアーを自信を持って皆さんに推薦します。

Thank you for participating in the tour. Since it had been a while since you last went snorkeling, we took our time practicing in the shallow waters before guiding you. It was truly wonderful to be surrounded by a school of convict tangs, swim with a large parrotfish, and finally meet a turtle! Thank you for swimming all the way from the right end to the left end of Hanauma Bay. We look forward to having you both join us for another tour when you come back to Hawaii. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

この度はツアーにご参加いただきましてありがとうございます。シュノーケリングは久し振りとのことでしたので、浅瀬でゆっくり練習してからご案内させていただきました。シマハギの群れに囲まれたり、大きなアオブダイと泳いだり、そして最後には亀にも会えて本当に良かったですね!!ハナウマベイの右端から左端まで本当に最後まで頑張って泳いでくださってありがとうございます。是非またハワイにお越しの際にはお二人でツアーに来てくださることをお待ちしております。
ありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

I have joined the Captain Bob snorkel since the first time I went to Hawaii. It was so consistent every time. And this time we have a group of 11 people going and everyone has a good time even though the sandbar water level is a little bit high but the whole crew working on the boat are so sincere which makes a big difference on the atmosphere of the activity.

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>

I am very satisfied. 大満足です。

Reviewed by: まさよ

It was an early morning tour, but our guide was very energetic. Their desire to entertain us was very evident, and the time flew by until we arrived. Fortunately, we were able to encounter dolphins right away. I was surprised at how close they were to the shore. It was challenging to anticipate their movements since they swim quickly, but I was glad to see wild dolphins. After that, we headed to the turtle spot, but they didn't appear for a while. Suddenly, one showed up nearby, and we were able to take great photos. All the staff were wonderful, and it was a fantastic tour.

朝早いツアーでしたが、テンションがとても高いガイドさんでした。でも楽しませようという気持ちがとても伝わり、到着まであっという間でした。私たちは運よくすぐにイルカさんと遭遇することができました。思ってた以上に岸に近くてびっくりしました。イルカさんは早いので先回りしなければならないのが大変でしたが、野生のイルカさんを見ることができてよかったです。その後カメのスポットに向かいましたが、なかなか現れませんでしがが、急に近くに現れいい写真が撮れました。スタッフみなさんはいい人ばかりで、とてもいいツアーでした。

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>

I was healed by the dolphins~ イルカに癒された~

Reviewed by: Yママ

We participated with our 3-year-old child. Meeting at the hotel at 5:30 AM was quite tough for both the child and the parents. I thought we could sleep on the bus, but it was hard to get any rest, and my husband was a bit worn out by the time we arrived.

I was worried that the boat would be like a rubber dinghy based on past photos, but I was relieved to find out it had been upgraded to a large boat (with a restroom)! Once we boarded, we encountered a pod of dolphins within about 10 minutes. My husband and I took turns snorkeling while our child enjoyed watching the dolphins jump and sea turtles from the boat.

When we reached the snorkeling point, my daughter (3 years old) expressed a desire to dive into the sea, so I told her we could go in together. I was very grateful that a guide stayed right by our side the entire time we were in the water.

The guides and photographers were all very energetic, and at first, I was worried about keeping up with their enthusiasm. However, they paid close attention to the participants and provided excellent care, which made me feel reassured.

On our way back to the harbor, we were delighted to see flying fish in front of the boat and spotted sea turtles multiple times, which made us very happy. More than anything, I never knew swimming with dolphins could be so healing!

Since my daughter is still only 3 years old and couldn't snorkel, we couldn't dive together, but I definitely want to participate again when she is old enough to snorkel.

3歳の子連れで参加しました。 朝5時30分ホテル集合が子供も親もかなりきつかった。。。バスの中でも寝れるかと思いきや、なかなか寝かせてもらえず主人は到着までにちょっとばててました。 
船は過去の写真からゴムボートのような船かと思い心配していましたが、大きな船にグレードアップしたとの事で、実際大きな船で安心(トイレ付)!
船に乗ると10分ほどでイルカの群れにすぐに出会え、夫婦で交代でシュノーケルに参加し子供は船の上からイルカのジャンプやウミガメなどを見て楽しんでいました。
その後シュノーケルポイントに行った時、娘(3歳)も海に潜りたいというので一緒に海に入ることを伝えると、入っている間ガイドの方が一人ずっとそばについていてくれとてもありがたかったです。
ガイドさん、カメラマンさん皆様かなり元気で、最初はそのテンションについていけるか心配だったのですが参加者の方々をよく見ていて、ケアもしっかりしていて安心できました。
帰港する際にもトビウオが船の前を飛んでいたりホヌも何度も見れ幸せな気持ちになりましたが、なによりもイルカと泳ぐのがこんなに癒されるとは知りませんでした! 
娘はまだ3歳なのでシュノーケルができず一緒に潜れなかったのですが、シュノーケルができる年齢になったらぜひまた参加したいと思っています。

Thank you for participating in the Dolphin Middle School program. Early morning departures can be tough, but the joy of meeting the dolphins makes it all worthwhile, doesn't it?

Kona Sunset & Moonlight Wild Manta Ray Snorkel Tour - Wahine Charters

Swimming with rays

Reviewed by: Dorotka

It was an amazing experience ! Like an underwater ballet with a bit of adrenaline because even you know that rays are completely harmless and gentle you are still swimming in the middle of the ocean at night .There were at least 25 of them that night passing sometimes within an inch of our biddies, it felt like gentle caressing. I think it was my favorite activity and we did practically everything there is to be done on the Island (from extreme to leisure ) Definitely recomend it

I was very satisfied to see the sea turtles up close. There were Japanese staff members who conveyed their desire for us to have fun, which made the experience very enjoyable. However, I stayed at the Sheraton and they came to pick me up, but there were no detailed instructions provided. I was waiting at the main entrance, but it turned out to be the wrong place. It would be best if there were clearer information available.

ウミガメを間近で見ることが出来て大満足です。日本人スタッフの方がいらっしゃり、楽しんで帰って貰いたいという思いも伝わり非常に楽しかったです。ただ、シェラトンに宿泊して迎えに来て頂いたのですが、詳細場合の記載がなく、正面玄関で待っていたのに違っているとのことでした。もう少しわかりやすい情報があるとベストです。

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>

The best memories. 最高の思い出

Reviewed by: m.t

This was my first time participating in this tour, and I chose to go directly to the meeting place on my own, but I wasn't quite sure where to go and ended up asking someone for directions to finally arrive. I felt that arranging for a pickup would have been smoother and more reassuring.

The tour guide, Torichan, was a wonderful person, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

The manta rays were very large, and seeing them swim right in front of me was breathtaking. They came so close that their bellies almost touched mine. They were much bigger than I had imagined, but I felt no fear at all. I was just so excited. Their adorable faces and the way they swam gracefully were incredibly soothing, and it was truly an emotional experience.

If you're going to the Big Island, I highly recommend participating in this tour. You'll feel the rich nature up close, and the interaction with the manta rays will undoubtedly become a wonderful memory that you'll cherish for a lifetime.

このツアーの参加は初めてで
個人で直接集合場所に向かうプランにしましたがいまいち分からず人に教えてもらいながらなんとか到着。

I had always dreamed of swimming with dolphins, so I was really looking forward to this tour! The morning was very early, so I was a bit sleepy (laughs), but our guide, Julie, was full of energy and really entertaining.

We spotted the dolphins about five minutes after getting on the boat! I heard that sometimes it can take hours to find them, so we were lucky. I was very satisfied to see so many dolphins!

I was also happy to see a turtle during the snorkeling afterward!

I would love to join again when I come back to Oahu!

Just one thing... if I could share my opinion, the photo prices are a bit high, so I think it would be easier to buy them if they were a bit more affordable!

イルカと一緒に泳ぐのが夢だったのでとても楽しみにして、こちらのツアーに参加しました☆朝がとっても早かったので…眠かったですけど(笑)案内してくれたジュリーさんがとっても元気でテンション高くて面白かったです。

西オアフで体験するパワースポット&シュノーケリングツアー<日本語ガイド兼インストラクター/送迎付き>

If you're looking for a tour in West Oahu, this is the place! 西オアフのツアーなら、ここです!

Reviewed by: ツノダシ

I had been wanting to visit West Oahu, but I hesitated because the guidebook mentioned a lot of car break-ins and that the area wasn't very safe. Then I found out about this tour.

In the end, it was a great decision to participate in this tour. I highly recommend it. The group was small, with just two couples including my spouse and me, which was perfect for those who want to enjoy the tour at their own pace.

With Akima as our Japanese guide, we learned about the history of West Oahu, the traces of Tahitians who are said to have landed there, and the sacred cave of KANEANA, which sparked our imagination about Hawaii's history.

For lunch, we enjoyed a relaxed atmosphere at a park by the beach where locals were having barbecues, and we had our lunch in the shade of trees. It felt like we were locals for a moment.

The beach was not crowded, and we could enjoy snorkeling at our leisure while locals jumped into the sea and did stand-up paddleboarding. The water was clear, and while there weren't an overwhelming number of fish, we did see a few, including a honu napping on the seabed.

The couple we toured with mentioned they had participated in various tours, but they were excited and said, "This is the kind of tour we like."

Next time, I would like Akima to guide us around the entire island of Oahu.

西オアフに行ってみたいと思っていましたがガイドブックでは車上荒らしが多く治安がよくないと書かれており躊躇していたところ、このツアーがあることを見つけました。
結果、参加して大変よかったツアーです。おすすめのツアーです。
参加は少人数で、当日は私たち夫婦含めて2組、穏やかに自分のペースでツアーに参加したいという方には丁度よい人数です。
アキマさんの日本語ガイドで、西オアフの歴史やタヒチアンが上陸されたとされる痕跡やKANEANAの神聖な洞窟の案内は、ハワイの歴史の想像をかきたてるものでした。
ランチは、ローカルの人がバーベキューを楽しんだりゆったりした雰囲気のビーチ前の公園で、木陰でランチタイム。ローカルの人になった気分を味わえました。
ローカルの人が海に飛び込んだり、スタンドアップパドルをしたり思い思いに楽しんでいるビーチは混雑もなく、シュノーケリングをゆったり楽しめました。海は透明度が高く、魚はあふれるほどいる、というほどではありませんが、フヌフヌプクプクアプアアや海底で昼寝をしているホヌもみれました。
ツアーにご一緒したご夫婦もいろんなツアーに参加されていらっしゃるとのことでしたが、「こういうツアーがいい」と興奮しておられました。
今度は、アキマさんにオアフ島一周を案内してもらいたいと思っています。

I want to start this review by saying that Kieko (our guide) picked us up at our hotel and I was not in the right pick up area. She was actually walking around calling out my name and found me. I cannot thank her enough!!!

The tour was about a half day long - we went in the morning, which I would recommend because it can get crowded at Hanauma as the day goes on.

We were able to lock up our valuables while we were in the water. The tram ride down and back up to the parking lot was awesome

As for the snorkelling - it was AMAZING. I cannot believe how many different species of marine life we saw. So much fun. I did not want to get out of the water!

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

Awesome trip!

Reviewed by: M&m's Mom

My 18 and 21 year old "kids" and I had an amazing afternoon aboard the Spirit of Aloha. The captain and crew were friendly and very knowledgeable about the catamaran and about the area's flora and fauna. The gear supplied was well maintained and they had the correct optical masks for both of us that were glasses. We swam with several Honu as well as dozens of tropical fish. All in all it was a fantastic day and we are so happy that we made the trip.

  • from my head to my toes it was an amazing trip

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>

The benefits of having a guided tour are significant! ガイド付きにするメリット大きい!

Reviewed by: カハラ

In recent years, entry to Hanauma Bay has become more regulated, requiring various procedures to gain access. The tour guide prepared tickets in advance and provided priority entry to the parking lot. This made for a stress-free experience for snorkeling at Hanauma Bay.

近年のハナウマ湾は規制が厳しく入場するのもいろいろな手順を踏んでいかないといけません。
このツアーのガイドさんは事前にチケット準備したり、駐車場にも優先?入場可能で。ストレスフリーでハナウマ湾のシュノーケリングに臨めました。

サンドバー キャプテンブルース 天国の海®︎シュノーケリングクルーズ SUPや浮き輪などレンタルアイテムも!<午前・午後/日本語クルー>

It was fun. 楽しかったです

Reviewed by: むさごん

It wasn't a sunny day, so the water was quite cold when we got in, but we were able to enjoy a different kind of sea than Waikiki and even encountered sea turtles. The lunch on the boat was also quite delicious. After that, my father and high school students seemed to have a great time snorkeling, taking pictures of corals and sea turtles with their cameras. My mother and elementary school students enjoyed themselves with the rental floaties and paddle boats during that time. The boat didn't feel too rocky, but there were about 5 or 6 people who got seasick, so motion sickness medication might be necessary. The staff were all cheerful and fun, and they took great pictures with our cameras.

However... about two months ago, I made a reservation for the best day after checking the tides, but suddenly, less than a month before, I was told it was canceled due to a movie shoot. When I tried to book on another low tide day, I was told it was already full. I thought about canceling, but since it was the event I was looking forward to the most, I participated with faint hopes, even though it was on a king tide day. But as expected... the tide level was 160 cm, which meant the water was up to about half my face. Those who weren't good swimmers seemed to struggle. I knew we wouldn't be able to see the beautiful sandbar, but the result was too disappointing. Even though it cost over 50,000 yen, it was canceled so easily that I couldn't accept it, and now I feel like I want to try again next time, but also not...

晴天ではなかったので、海に入るとかなり冷たかったですが、ワイキキとは違う海を楽しむことができ、海亀とも出会えました。船上のランチも、なかなか美味しかったです。その後、父と高校生はシュノーケリングで、サンゴや海亀を持参したカメラで撮ったりと満喫したようです。母と小学生はその間貸し出しの浮き輪、パドルボートで楽しめました。船はそんなに揺れる感じではなかったですが、酔ってダウンしている方が5〜6人はいらっしゃったので、酔い止めは必要かも…。スタッフの方はみなさん明るく楽しく、という感じで、持参のカメラでもしっかり撮って頂きました。

ただ…二ヶ月ほど前に、潮を調べて一番良い日を予約したにもかかわらず、一ヶ月をきってから突然、映画撮影のためと言われキャンセルになり、他の潮の低い日に申し込んでも、もういっぱいですと言われ…。キャンセルしようかとも思ったのですが、一番楽しみにしていたイベントだったため、キングタイドの日でしたが、淡い期待を持って参加しました。しかしやはり…案の定…潮位は160cmの私で顔半分くらいまで…。泳ぎが得意でない人は、みなさん困っていらっしゃいました。サンドバーのあの綺麗な砂が見られないことは分かってはいたけれど、残念すぎる結果でした。5万を超える出費なのに、簡単にキャンセルされて納得いかず、次回リベンジしたいような、したくないような…

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>

My 6-year-old son is overjoyed! 6歳の息子が大喜び❗️

Reviewed by: 魚大好き

I participated with my 6-year-old son and husband the other day. Since it was our first time snorkeling, I had about half expectations, but we were well taken care of, and my son was able to see many fish that he loves, which made us very satisfied! I considered going to Hanauma Bay on our own, but given that my younger child is still small and the concerns about being at the beach for a long time and the parking lot filling up quickly, we decided to join this tour. Thank you very much. I would definitely like to participate again.

先日6歳の息子と主人で参加させて頂きました。
初めてのシュノーケリングだったので、期待半分くらいだったのですが、丁寧に見て頂き息子も大好きな魚をたくさん見ることができて大満足でした❗️
個人でハナウマベイに行くことも考えましたが、下の子がまだ小さくビーチに長時間いることや駐車場がすぐ満車になること不安などを鑑みてこちらのツアーに参加させて頂きました。
ありがとうございました。
またぜひ参加させて頂きたいと思います。

Maui to Lanai Snorkel Cruise with Breakfast & Lunch from Lahaina

Great experience, my parents' highlight of the trip

Reviewed by: Stacie

We had a great time on this cruise. Everything about it went basically as planned. We went to two different snorkeling spots where we had an hour or a little more to swim around checking out the coral reef and the marine life. In the beginning, they had a little breakfast that included muffins, fruits and different types of juice. After the first snorkeling spot, they made chicken breasts, hot dogs and burgers patties for lunch which were also very good. They didn't have KETCHUP!!! Which was a pretty big bummer, but the food was good and there was plenty of it. They also handed out bags of chips and pretty much everyone was able to get a second bag. The best part about the cruise was the dolphins that we saw. We spent about 20-30 minutes watching a pack of dolphins swim around and with out boat. They got up so close, it was amazing. My nephew and I sat at the front of the boat and actually got yelled at by the captain, but it was definitely worth it because my feet were about 10 feet away from touching the dolphins they were so close. Then at the last snorkeling spot, we got to swim with sea turtles (only noticed one when I was swimming but it did get pretty close), and a 6 foot long shark that was laying underneath the wreckage we were snorkeling above. It was pretty awesome and scary all at the same time. The shark was sleeping (or dead) because it didn't move and there was no danger, but I still didn't want to take my eyes off him! The boat provided the snorkel equipment including the liquid to keep your goggles clear. There is also a slide that goes off the side of the boat which was really fun to go off of! The crew ended the cruise with a free alcoholic beverage for each adult over 21 years old, and it was very tasty and had a lot of alcohol in it! I believe this was well worth the money.
