EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT!
Great weather, Hawaii vibes, crew/staff was friendly, helpful, funny, and made us feel right a home.
Great experience for families. The water is not too deep for children. Maybe, above the knee.

Hanauma Bay Self-Guided Snorkel Tour & Gear Rental with Hotel Transportation

Driver Mark was incredible.

Reviewed by: Liz Faidley

First of all, we passed Hanauma Bay and stopped at the Lanai Lookout, which was an unexpected bonus that I wouldn't have ever seen, being on a work trip with a very brief window to go out on a Sunday. I'm very grateful to him for a joyful trip, the extra stop (thank you!!!!!), and the information he shared en route to Hanauma Bay, about where different creatures may be seen, areas of the bay, types of fish, and even local characters (yes, fish). One of the fish characters (I think a Humuhumu? but I could be wrong) was described as a chihuahua who will pester you if you cross paths, LOL! The bay is simply some of the most beautiful water and fish I've ever snorkeled in the company of. Just incredible. 11/10. Thank you for an amazing experience.

5-Hour Liko Kauai Catamaran Tour - Na Pali Coast Sea Caves & Snorkel with Lunch

Wonderful boat tour with experienced staff

Reviewed by: Daniel

The Napali coast boat tour was definitely worth our time and money. The 5-hour or so tour was filled with constant activities, with experienced captain and the crew. The 20-or-so person boat was comfortable with the front-facing seats and a clean bathroom. It was also newly cleaned and painted. The captain also maneuvered through the caves and shore with experience, providing good opportunities for the pictures. The tour also provided an ample time for a snorkeling towards the end. It was definitely something we would recommend.

Since I didn't check the tide, the water was about waist-deep. I recommend that those who go check the tide schedule, including high and low tides. I have no regrets as my goal was to enter the sea.

It was a morning when I felt completely mentally exhausted. 精神的に疲れきった朝でした

Reviewed by: ゆうなり

I was supposed to be snorkeling at the sandbar by now, but I couldn't get picked up at the designated location. After struggling with the poor response from the tour company, I ended up wasting time and didn't want to inconvenience the other participants who were already there, so I reluctantly decided to forgo the tour.

Until now, I thought I didn't need the phone function on my smartphone as long as I had internet access, but without a public phone and not being a guest at the hotel where the meeting point was, it became an essential function for me.

It was already challenging to make a call without leaving the meeting point the tour company specified, and after waiting for 30 minutes, I had to ask the hotel reception if there was a public phone. Thanks to the kind receptionist, I was able to contact them using the hotel phone.

At that time, I was told to call a taxi using an app, and although I tried to download the app and request a ride, the poor internet connection caused repeated errors. As the meeting time approached, I had to sadly give up.

Even calling to inform them of my cancellation was a struggle, and in the end, I had to rely on the JAL Pack reception to make the call for me to complete the cancellation. For someone like me, who couldn't use the phone and has limited English skills, it was an exhausting two hours.

If the tour company had arranged a taxi when I contacted them, I might have been able to participate. If I could have communicated via LINE, they might have realized my situation sooner and come to pick me up. I have many requests now, but it was a painful lesson for me.

Today was the only day during my stay when the tide allowed me to see the sandbar, and it's unfortunate that I couldn't reschedule for another day. Both the tour company and participants need to consider how to properly handle emergencies.

本当は今頃サンドバーでシュノーケリングをしてたはずなのに、指定場所にピックアップに来てもらえず、ツアー会社に連絡したその後の対応の悪さに苦労した挙句時間を費やし、すでに現地にいる他のツアー参加者に迷惑をかけたくなかったので、仕方なく参加を断念しました。
今までネット環境さえあればスマホの電話機能なんて必要ないと思っていましたが、公衆電話もなく集合場所のホテルの宿泊者でもない私にとっては、必須の機能でした。
ツアー会社の言う集合場所から離れずに電話することがまず難関で、30分待って仕方なくホテルのレセプションで公衆電話があるかどうかを尋ね、親切なレセプショニストのおかげでホテルの電話で連絡させてもらえました。
その時にアプリかなんかでタクシーを呼んで現地まで行ってと言われて、アプリをダウンロードして配車を試みるも、ネット状況が悪くて何度もエラーに。そのうち現地集合時間が迫り、泣く泣く断念することに。
断念するとの電話連絡もひと苦労し、結果JALパックのレセプションに泣きつき、電話をしてもらってキャンセル連絡完了。
電話を使えず、英語も拙い私にとっては、クタクタに疲れた2時間でした。
ツアー会社に連絡した時にタクシーの手配をしてくれれば参加できたかも、LINEで連絡できたらもっと早く気づいてもらえてピックアップに来てもらえたかも。今はいろいろ要望もありますが、私も手痛い勉強になりました。
滞在期間中、唯一サンドバーにお目にかかれる潮位だった今日、他の日にリスケが出来ず残念です。
緊急時の対処がきちんとできるかどうか、ツアー会社も参加者も考えなくてはいけませんね。

Reviewed by: かめさん

I went snorkeling to see fish, and I was able to swim with a considerable number of honu (sea turtles)! The crew spoke Japanese, so I was able to enjoy the activity with peace of mind! One thing I felt was that changing clothes, which was optional, is actually a must. (It's cold to return on an air-conditioned bus in a swimsuit.)

Loved this Adventure. Large spacious catamaran. Love the live music. Greeted with smiles, donuts, and tang. Can’t swim? Never snorkeled? This is the place to experience these activities. Water level at the sandbar was knee high. Lots of fish to see hiding in the coral. Don’t know what you’re looking at? Ask the knowledgeable crew.

カイルアビーチ送迎シャトルサービス　嬉しい5時間滞在！ビーチグッズなど各種レンタル付き＜日本語スタッフ／ランチ付＞

The staff are all friendly and kind. スタッフがみんなフレンドリーで優しい

Reviewed by: ぺるる

I chose this tour because it offers pick-up from both Kailua Beach and the town. The shop is just a few minutes' walk from Kailua Beach, so I was able to go back and forth twice and enjoy playing at the beach. The water is shallow, the sand is fine and beautiful, and even for someone like me who isn't a strong swimmer, I felt safe and had a great time in the ocean. The emerald green sea was so beautiful that it took my breath away. I thought I could only rent a beach mat, but I was able to borrow a chair and ended up napping on the sand. The staff who spoke Japanese were always attentive and their consideration was wonderful. I found it a bit confusing when to give tips and how much to give to whom, so it would be helpful if there were some guidelines provided. Next time, I plan to skip the town and go directly to Kailua Beach and Lanikai Beach.

カイルアビーチとタウンと両方送迎してもらえるツアーが良くてこちらに決めました。
カイルアビーチまで徒歩数分のショップなので、2回行き来してビーチで遊べました。遠浅で、砂もさらさらで綺麗で、泳ぎが苦手な私でも、海で安心して楽しめました。エメラルドグリーンの海綺麗すぎて感動です。ビーチマットしか借りられないと思ってましたが、チェアが借りれて砂浜で寝てしまいました。日本語話せるスタッフさんがいつも気にかけてくれて、配慮が素敵でした。
チップを渡すタイミング、どれくらい誰に渡すか分からなくて、目安とか書いてて貰えたら助かるなと思いました。次は、タウンは行かずにカイルアビーチとラニカイビーチまで行ってみようと思います。

I'm glad I went on the tour! ツアーで行って正解でした！

Reviewed by: マーチ

Hanauma Bay requires a reservation, and it's quite difficult to get there without a rental car. Additionally, there is a video to watch after entering, so it was definitely the right choice for me to join this tour since I only speak Japanese! I didn't see any sea turtles, but I was able to snorkel a lot. By the way, I participated without renting a wetsuit, just wearing a long-sleeved rash guard, but since I also wore a life jacket, I was able to enjoy it safely.

ハナウマ湾は、予約が必要であり、現地へ行くのもレンタカーでないと大変、さらに、入場後のビデオ視聴等もあり、日本語しか話せない私にはこのツアーで行って正解でした！ウミガメは見られなかったですが、たっぷりシュノーケリングすることができました。ちなみに、私はウエットスーツは借りず、上下長袖ラッシュガードで参加しましたが、救命胴衣もつけるので、十分安全に楽しめました。

Hanauma Bay currently requires a reservation to enter, but this tour does not require advance booking, and we were taken there by a guide. The view of Hanauma Bay from above is stunning, and since access is difficult, I was really glad to be taken there on this tour.

I experienced snorkeling separately and rented a wetsuit for $10. The coral might be prettier in Okinawa, but I was very satisfied to see sea turtles and fish. It seems that getting a Hanauma Bay-specific guide's license is currently difficult, so I think being taken there is a rare opportunity. It was great. Thank you very much.

シュノーケルは別でウェットスーツを10ドルでつけて体験しました。

Great experience with kiddies

Reviewed by: Mari

We took our 2.5 year old toddler on this tour and it was a wonderful experience. What’s great about this tour is that once you’re out at the sandbar you can paddle board, kayak, snorkel, and/or swim, hangout at the floating deck, etc. I’m glad we had these activities because there’s not that much to do at the sandbar otherwise! I had fun paddle boarding and kayaking with my toddler (wearing a life jacket, which they provide). We were done with the activities after a while and my toddler wanted to be back on the “big boat,” which was also fine because the boat is comfortable, provides shade, and has bathrooms and changing rooms. Just remember to bring some drinks and snacks to enjoy after all the exercise!

Really enjoyable excursion

Reviewed by: Bob

If you really want to have a fun day, then this tour is for you. And, family friendly! I've done it the last 2 years and am going to book again for next year. The crew: Captain Cheyenne, and crew members Julia, Yuki, Yukiko and Cody are the best. Very friendly, and GREAT personalities.
Walking on this sandbar is an experience. And they even set up a water volleyball game. The water is perfect and the bluest I've ever seen.
After the sandbar, they fire up the grill for a nice hamburger/cheeseburger lunch with all the fixins. And they have meatless burgers also.
After lunch there is snorkeling. Due to recent knee replacement surgery I was unable to participate last year, but was able to and had a great time this year.
After snorkeling, you go turtle watching. There were plenty, and some of them are HUGE.
My one big recommendation: Bring reef friendly sunscreen because the sun will fool you. It was a bit overcast this year,, but the sun still managed to get me.

I participated with my 0-year-old child. Since there were many participants, we took two buses and two boats, dividing into a Japanese-speaking team and an English-speaking team for the boat ride. Everyone was very kind to the children, making it easy for us to join with kids! If the child wears a float, they can stand on the sandbar, and although snorkeling is in deeper water, as long as we ensure the waves don't hit the child's face, we were able to enjoy it without any issues! The staff attended to us in Japanese, making it easy to ask questions, and above all, the location was amazing. I'm really glad I participated!!!
