The scenery at Hanauma Bay was different from what I saw over 30 years ago; it has been beautifully maintained, with strict management including entry restrictions and video presentations of the rules. Thanks to this, the underwater environment was very clear, and I was able to see many fish and even a rare eel that is seldom seen, even by guides.
Although it was a super low tide, which meant I couldn't meet a honu, and I struggled with my goggles and taking breaks, resulting in swallowing seawater multiple times, my guide held my hand the whole time, allowing me to fully enjoy snorkeling! Thank you very much for your great support!
30年以上前に訪れた時のハナウマ湾の光景とは違っていて、綺麗に整備され、入場制限やルールのビデオ上映など、管理も徹底されていました。お陰で?海中はとても綺麗で、たくさんの魚たちやガイドさんでも滅多に見られない?希少なウツボも見ることが出来ました。
スーパー引き潮だったので、ホヌに会えなかったこと、ゴーグルとの相性が悪く、息抜きも下手だったので、何度も海水を飲んじゃいましたが
ガイドさんにずっと手を引いてもらい、無事にシュノーケリングを満喫出来ました!大変お世話になり有難うございました!

Originally, I was scared and not good at going into places where my feet couldn't reach, but I wanted to try it at least once in my life, so I participated. It was deeper and scarier than I had imagined, but thanks to the instructor who kindly spoke to me and held my hand all the way through, my dream came true. Also, it's better to borrow and wear a wetsuit. My companion was bare-chested, but their back turned red, and the shape of the life jacket straps was imprinted on it (laughs).
元々、足の届かない所に入るのは怖くて苦手でしたが、一生に1度はやってみたいと思い参加。
思っていた以上に深くて怖かったですが、インストラクターの方に優しく声をかけて頂き、最後まで手をつないでリードしてくれたお陰で、夢がかないました。
それとウエットスーツは借りて着用した方がいいですよ。連れは、上半身裸でしたが背中が赤くなり救命胴衣のヒモの形がついていました(笑)

Great experience if you are looking for budget friendly turtle snorkeling experience. The guys were very friendly, nice and cared for the group. The time was perfect. Long enough to swim with turtles and short enough for people who got sea sick. Highly recommend. Thank you for making this budget friendly experience available.

I participated in the simplest plan (without optional activities or transportation).
On the day of the tour, I took thebus from Ala Moana Shopping Center, leaving a little after 7:00 AM. There wasn't much delay, and we arrived around 8:10 AM. The harbor seems to mainly serve local fishermen. There was a small shop selling alcohol, soft drinks, snacks, and fishing gear.
There is a changing room on the boat, but it can only accommodate one person at a time, so I think it's better to wear your swimsuit underneath.
Fortunately, there was a Japanese staff member on our tour! Additionally, among the foreign staff, there was someone who spoke Japanese fluently. There were also safety instructions written in Japanese, so those who are anxious about English can feel at ease.
Since I was 29 weeks pregnant, I enjoyed a little snorkeling with my husband and then just relaxed on the boat, but others were really enjoying activities like stand-up paddleboarding and beach volleyball.
When participating, I recommend checking the low and high tide times to choose the best tour time! It was a lot of fun!
一番シンプルなプラン(オプションアクティビティなし、送迎なし)で参加しました。
当日はアラモアナショッピングセンターを7時過ぎに出発するthebusで向かい、バスの遅れもそこまでなく、8:10ごろには到着しました。
ハーバーは地元の釣り人などがメインで利用されているようです。アルコール、ソフドリ、軽食、釣具などを販売している小さな売店もありました。
船上に着替える部屋がありますが、1名ずつしか利用できないので、水着を下に着てくるのがベターだと思います。
私たちのツアーでは運良く日本人スタッフがおりました!また、外国人スタッフの中に日本語が達者な方もいました。日本語で書かれた注意文も用意されており、英語に不安がある方も安心です^ ^
妊娠29週で参加したため、旦那とシュノーケリングを少し楽しみ、あとは船上でゆっくりするだけにしましたが、他の方々はSUPやビーチバレーなど、すごくエンジョイしていました^ ^
参加の際は是非干潮・満潮時刻と睨めっこしてツアー時間帯を選ぶと良いと思います!
とても楽しかったです!

In the first half, we played with SUP boards and floaties in shallow water. In the second half, those who could swim put on life jackets and went snorkeling. Since we couldn't swim, we were pulled by the staff to explore underwater. We were very lucky to see four sea turtles. It was a great experience. However, since we couldn't swim, we couldn't move around freely. So, I think it would be more enjoyable for those who can swim, but of course, even non-swimmers can have fun.

後半は、泳げる人は救命具を付けてシュノーケリングです。

いい体験ができました。ただ私達は泳げないので自由に動き回れませんでした。なので泳げる方はもっと楽しいとおもいますので泳げる方におすすめです。もちろん泳げなくても楽しめます。

To celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary, we enjoyed snorkeling at a sandbar, just like we did on our honeymoon. It was with a foreign tour company that has a name just one letter different from "Heaven," and all the staff were extremely friendly. A Japanese staff member was in charge of the tour, and the larger of the two boats that set sail was completely full of Japanese passengers.
After enjoying the sandbar, we had lunch with BBQ hamburgers prepared by the captain himself. Following that, we were able to snorkel for a full hour around the coral reef where sea turtles are found, and we returned to port while watching the sea turtles. It was a truly satisfying experience.
結婚35周年の節目にあたり、新婚旅行で体験したサンドバーのシュノーケリングを楽しみました。「天国」さんと一字違いの外資系のツアー会社ですが、スタッフ全員が非常にフレンドリーで日本スタッフのお姉様がツアーを仕切っており、2隻出航した大きい方の船は乗客全員が日本人で満員でした。
サンドバーを楽しんでから船長自らBBQしたハンバーガーなどの昼食を食べた後は、ウミガメがいる珊瑚礁の周囲をたっぷり1時間シュノーケリングすることができ、ウミガメウォッチングをしながら帰港するなど大満足の体験でした。

The parking lot was quite crowded, but it was understandable since it was the earliest optional tour in the morning. In the past, you could go freely, but now there are strict regulations regarding reservations and waiting times. However, it was very smooth since we could go through the tour company. After watching the orienteering video and stepping outside, we saw a rainbow. The guide during snorkeling was also very good, and we were able to see various fish. It would be quite difficult to go individually, so I highly recommend this tour.
