The weather was cloudy, but it cleared up when we arrived. We were able to see many turtles up close, and they almost came into contact with us, which made us hurriedly back away... but we had a great time snorkeling. Additionally, we enjoyed our free time with activities like stand-up paddleboarding, which is suitable for children, and I think the staff's attentiveness provides a sense of security.
天気は曇りだったけど、到着したら晴れました
亀さんもたくさん見られて、近くまできてくれ、危うく接触しそうになりかけ慌てて離れましたが。。。 大変楽しくシュノーケルできました。
また、Stand uppaddleなどの自由時間も楽しく過ごせ、子供の体験にも向いているほど、スタッフの気配りも安心できるかと思います。

We had a perfectly fun day! We rented bikes and snorkeling gear and flippers, rode to Lanikai beach (about a 29 minute ride), saw some turtles and fish. Then we came back, got boogy boards and enjoyed kalilua beach. Had some lunch did some souvenir shopping.
Our only complaint would be the tour bus driver who picked us up. He asked us where we were from and then said something about Biden being born there so we would have to walk. My husband asked him not to bring politics into our tour. He made another joke about our state and told us it was a long walk back. Then he told us there was a password (Hawaiian word) and that we couldn’t ride if we couldn't say it. Then he switched us to another bus to come back on. We were relieved.

In the early morning at Hanauma Bay, I never expected it to be this cold. I did go into the water once, but it was so cold that I gave up quickly. I was really shocked that there were hardly any fish around. When I visited in the past, it was in the afternoon, so it was warm and there were plenty of fish to enjoy! Is there no tour available in the afternoon? I felt that it has become increasingly difficult to enter Hanauma Bay lately. The driver was kind and stopped by Leonard's Kitchen for us on the way back.
早朝にハナウマ湾へ
まさかこんなに寒いとは思ってもみませんでした。
一回は海に入ったものの寒すぎてすぐにギブ。
魚もほとんど見当たらなくめちゃショック。
過去に訪れた時はお昼からだったので暖かかったのか魚もたくさんいて楽しめたのに!
お昼からのツアーは無いのでしょうか?
最近はますますハナウマ湾に入るのが難しくなってきてることを実感しました。

Five years ago, when I went to Waianae to snorkel, I didn't have fins, and it was difficult to return to the boat. However, this time I had fins, so I was able to enjoy seeing fish and sea turtles up close. Additionally, I was lucky enough to encounter dolphins!
The best part is that you can board from a hotel in Waikiki, which makes good use of your time. However, there is no Japanese guide, so it would be great if you could go with someone who understands English. I was with my daughter, which was helpful. I think it would be nice to have a sign with the same explanations even without a guide.
5年前に、ワイアナエまで行きシュノーケルしたときはフィンがなく
船まで戻るのが大変でしたが、こちらはフィンがあったので、とても楽しく魚やウミガメを近くでみることができました。
さらにラッキーなことにイルカにも遭遇しました!
何よりワイキキのホテルから乗船できるので時間が有効につかえますよ。
ただ、日本語ガイドさんはいないので英語がわかる人と行けるといいですね。娘と一緒だったので助かりましたが。
ガイドさんがいなくても、同じ内容の説明プラカードがあればいいのに、と思います。

I made a reservation through the website the day before boarding, as it was cheaper than booking directly with the local tour company due to tax differences. I looked at several options, and this was the lowest price for the same conditions. Still, 30,000 yen per person is OVER.
The reservation process was easy, and I showed the issued voucher to the local tour company, signed, and completed check-in. I checked in at 14:00, one hour before departure, and had a briefing at 14:15. After that, it took about 5 minutes to move to the port. We departed 15 minutes ahead of schedule. Because the waves were high, it felt like being on a roller coaster. We arrived in about 1 hour and 20 minutes. We spent about 2 hours in Napali, and on the way back, we took our time eating a bento while enjoying the sunset, returning by 19:20.
Other tour companies have smaller boats, but you need to be prepared to get wet. The large yacht with a buffet is gorgeous, but it can't get close to the shore, so this tour, which is faster and includes bento and unlimited drinks (including alcohol), was great. There seems to be a morning departure as well, but since it's early, I recommend the afternoon departure with sunset.
現地のツアー会社に直接予約よりも税金分安かったので、乗船前日にサイトから予約。いくつか見たがここが同条件では最安値。それでも1人3万円はOVER。
予約も簡単でしたし、現地ツアー会社には発行されたバウチャーを見せて、サインをしてチェックイン完了。
出航1時間前の14:00に受付し、14:15にブリーフィング。その後港まで移動が約5分。出航予定の15分前に出航。波が高かったせいで、ジェットコースターに乗っているような気分。1時間20分程度で到着。2時間くらいはナパリにいて帰りはお弁当を食べながら2時間くらいかけてゆっくり目で帰り最後は夕日を見て19:20には帰着。
他のツアー会社には小型のボートもあるが、濡れる覚悟が必要。ブッフェ付きの大型ヨットはゴージャスだが、岸壁には近づけないので、スピードも早く、お弁当付きドリンク(アルコールも)飲み放題のこのツアーが良かった。午前出発もあるようだが、朝も早いしサンセット着きの午後出発がおすすめかと。

I felt very relieved to participate in the tour as Japanese was also understood. The sandbar was about knee-deep, but the scenery was beautiful and it was the best. It was a bit disappointing that it rained in the morning, making the water a little murky, but the sea was still beautiful. The hamburger we ate on the water was also very delicious.

My family of 4 had the best time on this excursion in June. The crew was organized, friendly, and punctual. The boat was big and comfortable, we were able to stand while driving and the music selection was fun. We saw spinner dolphins and that was the highlight of our whole trip to Kauai. Another super fun part was going into a couple of caves, one of them all the way and turned around. We stood under a waterfall, took amazing pictures, the coast formation is incredible.
The one part that wasn’t great was the snorkeling, the spot didn’t have many fish or sea life. It was very deep and brown. We were very excited to snorkel off the Napoli Coast and it was a disappointment. But it’s likely just the way the coastline is now, sadly.
The sandwiches were great, good chips and drinks.
Overall, it was a very cool experience!

Just considering the line of cars waiting from early morning and the queue for entry, you can already see the value of the tour. There’s no competition for reservations, making it easy to plan. Additionally, there are some insider tips, and the specialists share insights about the highlights and features of Hanauma Bay that we would never discover or experience on our own. For those who are familiar with Hanauma Bay and may visit multiple times in the future, I highly recommend experiencing this at least once. The ocean is truly wonderful, as are the two of you. Until we meet again, mahalo.
