We participated as a family. It was our first time going to Hanauma Bay, and for our children (ages 5 and 9), it was their first experience with snorkeling, so choosing a guided tour was definitely the right decision. Our guide, Allen, was just as great as the reviews said, and at Hanauma Bay, it felt like we had VIP access. He carefully taught us how to wear the masks and held the children's hands, allowing us to snorkel together. We practiced a little in our bathtub before going, but I don't think we could have managed to swim with them without the guide. The equipment, including the dry snorkels and masks, was of good quality, which was nice.
After practicing, we changed locations and swam twice, where we got to swim with a turtle and saw various types of fish, and the scenery was very beautiful. We went in late June; the weather was good, but it was a bit windy, which made the waves a little high, and the kids ended up getting cold and shivering at the end.
There aren't many afternoon tours for Hanauma, so I think it's a good option for those who have plans in the morning to make efficient use of their time. Next time, we want to go on our own and take our time to enjoy the day.
家族で参加しました。ハナウマ湾に行くのは初めてで、子ども(5歳・9歳)はシュノーケリング初体験でしたので、ガイド付きツアーにして大正解でした。
ガイドのアレンさんは口コミの評判どおりで、ハナウマ湾では顔パスって感じでした。マスクの付け方から丁寧に教えてくれて、子どもの手をひいて皆で手をつないでシュノーケルしました。家のお風呂でちょっとだけ練習していきましたが、親だけでは連れて泳げなかったと思います。機材もドライシュノーケルやマスクなどちゃんとしたもので、良かったです。
練習してから、場所を変えて2回泳ぎましたが、カメと一緒に泳げたし、魚もいろんな種類がいて、景色もとてもきれいでした。行ったのは6月下旬ですが、天気は良かったけれど、風が強かったため波が少し高く子どもは体が冷えて最後はふるえてました。
午後のハナウマツアーはあまりないので、午前に予定がある人には効率よく時間を使えてよいと思います。次は自分達で1日ゆっくり行ってみたいです。

We took a boat from a location about 30 minutes by car from Waikiki, starting with sea turtle watching. The turtles were on the smaller side, but we were able to see two or three right away. Then, we quickly arrived at the sandbar.
On the boat, there was an explanation about the option for photo shoots that would be made into a DVD. Since I didn't have a waterproof camera, I signed up right away. Without worrying about getting wet, we were able to take plenty of photos of the two of us with the stunning scenery as the backdrop.
I highly recommend it!! Over 50 photos for $60, ready the same day.
During snorkeling, we got really close to the sea turtles. It was a satisfying tour.
Although it was a morning tour, it wasn't too tiring, and we were able to make good use of the afternoon as well.
ワイキキから車で30分くらいの所からボートに乗って、
まずは海がめウォッチング。サイズは小さめですが、すぐに2,3匹見ることができました。そして、すぐにサンドバーに到着。
ボートの中でDVDに仕上がる写真撮影のオプションの説明がありました。防水カメラを用意していなかったので、早速申し込みました。濡れる心配もなく、最高の景色を背景に二人の写真を思う存分撮って頂きました。
お勧めです!!50枚以上で60ドル。当日の仕上がりです。
シュノーケリングでは海がめと大接近。満足なツアーです。
午前中のツアーでしたが、そこまで疲れることもなく、午後からの時間も有効に使えました。

There were truly an unbelievable number of dolphins!!
When the captain spotted a pod of dolphins, the boat moved ahead to wait for the pod to approach. Then, at the guide's signal, we all jumped into the water and floated quietly... and suddenly we heard squeaking sounds from somewhere, and right after that, the pod of dolphins appeared, from the front, the sides, and below!! It was just an incredible sight!
There were some older folks who didn't get in the water, but I definitely recommend going in. You just float, so you don't need to know how to swim! For those who are anxious, the guide will be there to help, so it's very reassuring. Dolphin watching from the boat is nice, but actually swimming with them is just like a dream come true!☆
本っ当に、信じられないぐらいの数のイルカがいました!!
キャプテンがイルカの群れを見つけると、ボートがその群れを先回りし、群れが近づいてくるのを待ちます。そして、ガイドさんの合図でいっせいに海に入り、静かに浮いていると・・・どこからかキューキューというような声が聞こえ、その直後イルカの群れが、前やら横やら下やら!!とにかくすごい数!信じられない光景でした!!
年配の方で海に入らない方もいらっしゃいましたが、絶対に入った方がいいです。浮いているだけなので、泳げなくても大丈夫!不安な方にはガイドさんが付いてくれますし、安心ですよ。船からのイルカウォッチングもいいけど、実際に一緒に泳げるなんて!!夢のような時間でした☆

My family and I went on the Hawaii Dolphin Swim & Snorkel on June 26, 2011 morning swim. It was beyond our expectations. We found dolphins right away and the captain and crew knew exactly where to find them. There were several dolphin pods and we were able to get pretty close to them but not touching them. 3 of them hovered about 5 feet below my wife and I making their squeal and clicking sounds. It was amazing. The snorkel equipment they provided was in good shape and very reliable. The boat was fine with plenty of room to move around and feel safe aboard. The crew was very professional, friendly and entertaining. The food was average but any time you've been in the water for a while, coming out to a hot burger is always delicious. I would highly recommend this trip especially if you want to get in the water. We also had time to freelance snorkel in an area 25 feet deep that had several sea turtles hanging out. They were fabulous to watch swim by you on their way to the surface

This was my second time on Oahu, and the first trip I mostly spent all my time in and around Waikiki. This tour was great in that it got me all the way to the other side of the island for a change of pace.
That side of the island....they called it Kaneohe Bay I think, man, it was beautiful. The water was so clear, and I got to see all kinds of fish I had never seen before too.
I didn't want to spend a ton of money either, and so this was a good deal for the price, as lunch was part of it...and tasted good too! The people were nice and helpful, and the sandbar was probably my favorite part. Good tour.

On June 21st, a bus picked us up at the hotel at 8:30 AM. Several couples boarded the bus from the same meeting point. After that, we visited three locations with a total of 18 passengers heading to our destination. Along the way, we made a five-minute restroom stop at a park near the destination, and then we arrived at the intended port.
With two buses, we had a total of 45 people boarding the boat. The crew was mostly Japanese, so there were no language concerns. The captain in the yellow T-shirt in the first photo is Mr. Hasegawa. After leaving the port, the boat took almost ten minutes to reach the sandbar. It was so close that there was no time to get seasick. During that time, our guide, Izumi, provided various instructions. Just before we arrived at our destination, we encountered a swimming turtle. I spotted three turtles.
When we arrived at the destination, it looked like this... (fourth photo)! Due to the tides, it may not always be possible to visit at low tide. This time, the water was about knee-deep. We walked around for about 20 minutes before returning to the boat, where half of the group went snorkeling while the rest had a meal. We were part of the meal group. There was more food than we could eat, and everyone was more than satisfied with the amount.
When we started snorkeling, a baby sea turtle approached us. It seemed accustomed to humans and climbed onto the guide's bodyboard. After that, it swam around us.
The snorkeling around the coral had a limited number of fish, which might be a bit disappointing for experienced divers. Since we were wearing life jackets, we couldn't dive.
The snorkeling lasted about 15 minutes. After that, we returned to the boat and headed back to the port.
During that time, the only girl on the boat was chosen by the captain to hold the helm next to him. She seemed nervous, but it was a great experience for her.
While not everything was perfect, the guides had a genuine desire to entertain us, making it an enjoyable tour. It would have been even better if the weather had been nice.
6月21日朝8時半にホテルにピックアップのバスが来た。

We participated with two parents and two friends. My mother seemed to think that places where her feet couldn't touch the ground were "scary!!", but when we arrived at Hanauma Bay, she was captivated by the beautiful scenery.
The two friends mentioned that they only swim occasionally in the pool for exercise and found the ocean where their feet couldn't touch to be frightening. However, the Japanese guide explained in detail how to wear masks and other things, and we first practiced in a place where we could stand.
Even in shallow areas, we could see beautiful fish, and as we got used to it, the fear seemed to lessen. The guide pointed out where the fish were, but since we weren't used to the mask's field of vision, we were a bit confused, asking, "Where are they?" Nevertheless, we were able to see many fish. They took us to places where we normally wouldn't be able to stand, and even though it was my first snorkeling experience, my desire to come back grew.
They told us, "We swam for 1.5 hours!" Perhaps because there were no breaks, I felt exhausted when we walked back up from the beach.
As we took a breather after getting out of the water, someone said, "It's tough on the legs~ Is it because of our age? It's probably due to lack of exercise~" We laughed and regained our energy with the water and snacks provided by Alan.

The fee included watching an environmental protection video and the ride to the beach, so it was really appreciated that we didn't have to walk back up the hill, making it much easier.

「1.5時間も泳いでいたんだよ~」と教えてくれ
途中休憩がなかったからかもしれませんが浜から上がって歩くときに疲れがどっと来ました。
浜から上がって一息ついていると誰だったか
「足にくるね~ やっぱお年頃(年齢が高い)から?
普段の運動不足だから~」と談笑しアランさんから頂いたお水、スナックで元気を取戻しました。

The weather was clear on the day of the tour, and I was really excited. It was a tour fitting for our 20th wedding anniversary. About five minutes after departure, we encountered a large group of dolphins, which was amazing! They seemed to be jumping around the boat as if they were waiting for us.
After arriving at the snorkeling point, we had lunchtime on the boat. I was a bit confused since it was my first time snorkeling, but with the staff's advice, I was able to enter the water with confidence. Underwater, it was mystical with coral reefs and schools of tropical fish. On the way back, we also encountered a whale, making the tour absolutely fantastic. Since the boat had no roof, make sure to take precautions against sunburn!
当日は天気も快晴でとってもワクワクしていきました。

I participated with a group. It was far from Waikiki, and since it was early in the morning, I originally didn't plan to go, but one of the members wanted to, so I joined them. I had seen reviews mentioning that there might be times when you don't encounter dolphins, so I thought I would enjoy snorkeling even if it didn't work out, and I participated without expectations. However, it was far more enjoyable than I had imagined.
Instead of a snorkeling experience where you lure fish with feeding, I was able to see real wild fish, and above all, I encountered a surprising number of dolphins and sea turtles. When I was peering into the ocean, I was so engrossed that I lost track of time. I made wonderful memories on my first trip to Hawaii.
Since it was early in the morning, most people were fast asleep on the way back, but we were able to return to Waikiki by early afternoon, so we could enjoy shopping and other activities afterward.
I would definitely like to participate again the next time I come to Hawaii.
グループで参加しました。
ワイキキから遠く、朝早いということもあり、もともと行く予定はなかったのですが、メンバーの一人が行きたいということで付き合いで参加しました。
口コミを見ていて、イルカに出会えないこともあるということでしたので、はずれでもシュノーケルを楽しもうと思い期待せずに参加したのですが、、、。
想像していたのをはるかに超える楽しさでした。
餌付けをして魚をおびき寄せるようなシュノーケルではなく本当の自然の魚たちを見ることができましたし、なによりイルカやウミガメにびっくりするくらいたくさん出会えました。海の中を覗いているときは時間を忘れてしまうぐらい夢中になっていました。
初めてのハワイですごく良い思い出ができました。
朝が早いということもあり、帰りの車ではほとんどの人が爆睡でしたが、お昼過ぎにはワイキキに戻ってくることができるので、そのあともゆっくり買い物などを楽しめます。
次にハワイに来るときには、またぜひ参加したいです。

I was a bit anxious since it was only in English, but I confirmed the meeting place the day before and arrived 30 minutes early on the day. The staff spoke broken Japanese, so I had no worries at all. There were about 20 foreign guests. They provided us with a document in advance that included what the captain would be talking about. The activities were rich, including dolphin jumps, snorkeling, and exploring lava caves. The hamburger for lunch was delicious, and the captain's pineapple dish was the best. We could also freely enjoy drinks. However, the boat was quite fast and jumped a bit, so you need to be somewhat prepared for that. There was no time to feel seasick. I'm grateful to the staff.

We participated as a couple and chose this tour because it offers longer free time compared to other tours, along with a good price and lockers. I had been to Kailua once before, but this time I wanted to visit "Boots & Kimo's," famous for its pancakes, and hoped to explore Kailua Town as well.
After arriving in Kailua, I debated whether to bike or walk, and ultimately decided to walk to Boots & Kimo's, which took about 20 minutes. I got pancakes to-go and enjoyed them for breakfast on the beach, and they were incredibly delicious!
Kailua has such beautiful waters! Waikiki is nice too, but coming here feels completely different. On the day we participated, there were many small waves, which didn't seem ideal for boogie boarding, but my husband was able to see a turtle while swimming. You can also rent snorkeling gear, so I think it's good to check the wave conditions before deciding.
After spending about an hour in Kailua, we rented bikes (Kailua Sailboards & Kayaks offers rentals for tour participants at around $11 each) and headed to the neighboring Lanikai Beach. Lanikai Beach has a milky emerald sea! The beauty of the ocean alone lifts your spirits. The last time I walked to Lanikai Beach, I was exhausted, so I recommend biking instead.
For lunch, we could choose between a boxed lunch or pizza, and I opted for the pizza recommended by the staff. I was surprised at how big it was!
The four hours flew by. With the long free time, we could visit the town and Lanikai, making it a great option for repeat visitors. There are Japanese staff members, and the presence of lockers, restrooms, and changing rooms adds to the overall sense of security, making it a very good experience.
夫婦で参加しましたが、自由時間が他のツアーよりも長い&価格&ロッカー付きということでこちらのツアーに決めました。
以前にも1度カイルアにいったことがありましたが、今回はパンケーキが有名な「ブーツアンドキモズ」にも行ってみたくカイルアタウンにもいけたらなと思っていました。
カイルアに到着後自転車か徒歩か悩んだ末、徒歩でブーツアンドキモズへ行ってみましたが、歩いても20分くらいでした。
パンケーキをTOGOしてビーチで朝食にいただきましたがすごく美味しかったです!!
カイルアはとても綺麗な海です!ワイキキもきれいだけど、こちらに来ると、全然ちがうな~と感じました。
参加した日は小さい波が沢山くるような感じで、ブギーボードはあまり適してなかったように感じましたが、旦那さんは普通に泳いでいたら亀をみれたようです。シュノーケルのセットもレンタルもできるので、波の状態を見てきめるのも良いと思います。
1時間ほどカイルアにいてから、レンタル自転車(カイルアセイルボード&カヤックで、ツアー参加者は1台11ドルくらいで借りれました)を借りて隣のラニカイビーチに行ってきました。
ラニカイビーチのほうが、ミルキーエメラルド!な海です。海が美しくてそれだけでテンションがあがります↑
ラニカイビーチまで、以前行ったときは歩いたのですがヘトヘトになってしまったので、自転車のほうがおすすめです。
ランチはボックスランチかピザが選べましたが、担当の方がお勧めしてくれたピザをチョイス。すごくおおきくてびっくり!!
あっという間の4時間でした。
フリーな時間が長いのでタウンに行ったりラニカイに行ったりもでき、リピーターさんにもお勧めです。
日本人スタッフもいますし、ロッカーやトイレ、更衣室などもしっかりついているので安心度も高くとても良かったです。

I've been on other snorkeling cruises but was REALLY IMPRESSED with the boat and the crew. The boat was very clean, open and comfortable. Having great his and her bathrooms was a nice plus as well. The crew were fun, informative and professional. They make you feel very comfortable and taken care of. Swimming with the turtles was a total treat. There's a crew member in the water with you the entire time and they are not only looking out for your safety but are answering questions about the fish, turtles and the total area. In addition, they are educating you so you really "swim" away knowing more than when you came. The sailing portion was really relaxing and peaceful. It's great to see Waikiki & Diamond Head Crater from the water and being able to leave on this trip from the Hilton is a real plus. Even the food and snacks were good. I would definitely recommend this trip.

This time, we were taken care of by Alan!
After arriving at the beach, we received a thorough explanation of snorkeling and off we went!
We practiced in the shallow water at first, and then Alan held my hand and took us deeper into the ocean. It was our second time at Hanauma Bay, but before we knew it, we had gone out to a much deeper area that we couldn't reach at all during our first visit. It's a shame we didn't see any sea turtles, but we were satisfied with the beautiful corals and plenty of fish we saw!
After coming out of the water, they gave us water and snacks! However, I thought we would have some free time, but we didn't have any at all, so I couldn't take many photos.
After returning to the beach, I think it would be nice to dive again if we still have energy!
Overall, I was very satisfied!
今回、私たちはアランさんにお世話になりました!
ビーチに着いて、丁寧なシュノーケルの説明を受けていざ出発☆
最初は浅瀬で練習したあと、アランさんに手を繋いでもらってぐんぐん奥へ連れていってもらいました。私たちは二回目のハナウマ湾でしたが、気づいたら一回目では全く行けなかったすーーーーごく沖まで行ってました。ウミガメが見れなかったのは残念ですが、綺麗なサンゴ、お魚いっぱい見れて満足です♪
海を出たあとは水とお菓子をくれました!ただ、自由時間があると思ってたんですが、全然なかったのであまり写真が取れませんでした。
浜辺に戻ったあと、元気があればもう一度潜るのもいいと思います!
全体的には満足できました♪
