I came to Hawaii for my honeymoon. When you think of Hawaii, you naturally want to visit the beautiful ocean, so I was looking forward to the sandbar, and the water there was even more beautiful than I imagined! The photos taken at the sandbar with the mountains in the background turn out to be stunning.
There was a Japanese staff member on the boat who was able to answer any questions I had, which made me feel very comfortable participating in the tour!
ハネムーンでハワイ旅行に来ました。
ハワイと言ったらやはり綺麗な海に行きたかったので、サンドバー期待して行ったのですが、サンドバーの海が想像以上に綺麗で感動しました!
山々の背景にサンドバーで撮る写真はかなり映える写真が撮れます。
船には日本人のスタッフの人がいて、わからないことは教えてくれたので、すごく安心してツアー参加出来ました!

We headed to a sandbar located about a 10-minute boat ride from He'eia Kea Boat Harbor, which is about a 40-minute bus ride from the Waikiki Beach area.
Due to the tides, the sandbar was not fully exposed during my visit, but we were able to experience shallow waters up to our knees.
On the way from the boat harbor to the sandbar, we were able to see sea turtles, and during snorkeling, we got to see them up close.
There were various activities available, such as snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, and floating rings, so there was never a dull moment.
Additionally, each person was provided with a rice ball, snacks, and warm drinks on the boat, which was helpful when we got cold.
The staff's English was very easy to understand, so anyone with a little English knowledge could grasp almost everything. They also provided explanations in Japanese after the English ones, so even those who don't speak English at all can participate with confidence.
The bus ride to and from the location can be quite cold due to the air conditioning, so having a light jacket would be convenient.
I had a great time.
ワイキキビーチ地区からバスで40分ほど移動したHe'eia Kea Boat Harborからボートでさらに10分ほどのところにあるサンドバーに向かいます。
潮の満ち引きの関係で私の体験した時はサンドバーが露出するほど潮は引きませんでしたが、膝下ほどの浅瀬を体験出来ます。
ボートハーバーから、サンドバーまで移動する途中にウミガメを見ることができ、その後のシュノーケリングでも手が届くくらい近くでウミガメを見ることが出来ました。
シュノーケリング、サップ、浮き輪など色々遊ぶ物もあったので飽きることはないです。
また、船上で1人1つおにぎりと、スナックや温かい飲み物が提供されるので体が冷えた時は助かりました。
スタッフの方の英語もすごく聞き取りやすいので、少し英語ができる人ならほぼ全て理解出来ますが、英語の説明の後に日本語の説明もして頂けたので全く英語が出来ないひとでも安心して参加出来るかと思います。
行き帰りのバスはクーラーが寒いので、羽織ものはあると便利だと思います。
楽しかったです。

It's a wonderful tour with a beautiful sea and filming locations used in Jurassic Park in the background. The snorkeling is done in a great spot, so you can see plenty of fish and I saw several turtles as well. It was an option tour where I could spend time in a homey atmosphere, and I have no complaints.

The snorkeling location at Molokini was great, and I was able to see many different types of fish. The tour staff were very accommodating, and I was satisfied with the meals. There was a mistake with the parking area, and my rental car was towed, but thanks to the kindness and quick thinking of the Japanese staff member, Takako, I was able to retrieve my rental car safely. It was an expensive lesson, but it taught me the importance of asking questions on the spot. I am truly grateful to Takako for making my experience in Maui unforgettable. I believe many Japanese tourists will be visiting in the future, so I would appreciate efforts to handle any issues that may arise on-site.

There were two guides, one of whom was a Japanese woman. There were about ten participants, with two Americans and the rest being Japanese. The guides were kind and attentive, allowing us to enjoy the tour with peace of mind. When I initially struggled with breathing through my mouth, the male guide quickly came to help me. The female guide also held my hand and swam with me.
It was drizzling on the day of the tour, and the water level was quite low, so I was glad I borrowed a wetsuit. I was able to see a lot of fish as well.
ガイドの方は2人で、1人は日本人女性の方でした。参加者は10人ぐらいでアメリカ人2人以外はは日本人でした。ガイドの方は親切丁寧に接してくださり、安心してツアーを楽しむ事ができました。わたしが最初口呼吸がうまくできない時、男性ガイドの方がすぐに助けに来てくれました。女性ガイドの方も手を握って一緒に泳いでくださいました。
当日は小雨で水位もかなり低く、ウェットスーツを借りておいてよかったです。魚もたくさん見ることができました。

The instructors were a veteran woman and an American who spoke Japanese well. They were very knowledgeable about Hanauma Bay and took safety into consideration, allowing us to enjoy snorkeling with peace of mind. I heard that they resumed tours in February, but due to environmental protection measures, it can be difficult to make reservations, so I recommend booking early.
インストラクターは、ベテランの女性と日本語が上手なアメリカ人の2人で、ハナウマベイを熟知されていて安全に配慮してくださり、安心して、たっぷりとシュノーケルを楽しめました。2月から本格的にツアーを再開したとのことでしたが、環境保護などから予約が取りにくいツアーなので、早めの予約をお勧めします。

Dan and Chieko were great hosts and guides. Dan picked us up and we talked with him quite a bit. He was kind, knowledgeable, and down-to-earth. Chieko was energetic, caring, and knowledgeable. The whole process (pick up and drop off, fitting for flippers, trolley down to the beach, putting on wet suits (additional option), instructions on technique and guidelines, storage of valuables, etc) was smooth from start to finish. This was my partner’s first experience snorkeling; she felt safe and at ease with Dan’s and Chieko’s instructions and guidance. We spent some time in the shallows and then went to deeper parts of the bay. We saw lots of fish! Hanauma Bay is a very special place. Overall, this was an amazing experience that my partner and I highly recommend!!!
Thanks Rodger, glad you guys enjoyed. We had a really good day for it. Hope we see you again. Dan and Chieko.

We had a big group of us go on this tour. It was seamless from the start. Check in was super easy, the boat ride was quick and so much fun!! The band was incredible!! And the donuts were yummy. When we got to the sandbar instructions were given and we got to go explore and have fun! My daughter actually got stung by a jellyfish while snorkelling and it could have ruined our excursion but the staff were excellent. Got her help immediately and were super attentive and caring to make sure she was doing ok. They even shared their own experiences with jellyfish. She got out in the water and had more fun before we had to head back to shore. Thank you for everything!! If we come back to Oahu we would definitely do another tour!!

Until we arrived at the site, we were guided in Japanese, and we were able to enjoy snorkeling at Hanauma Bay! The water was so clear that we could see the fish beautifully, and it was incredibly fun!
It seems that boats are prohibited at Hanauma Bay, so since you enter from the beach, I think wearing a wetsuit is essential to avoid injury while swimming over the coral reefs!
I had a great time! Thank you very much!
現地に着くまでは、日本語でガイドいただきながら、ハナウマ湾ではシュノーケリングを楽しむことができました!!透明度が高いので魚が綺麗に見えて非常に楽しかったです!

This was such a great adventure! The crew was super nice, friendly, knowledgeable and gave us all the important information ahead of time. I am glad we rented wetsuits (the long sleeve, short legs version - $10), because the amount of time we stay in the water and specially at sunset, made it for a very cold attraction.
Nonetheless, we saw at least 4 manta rays, they were swimming around and under us for the entire time and it was such an incredible experience!!!
When we got back to the boat, we were treated to some really yummy hot chocolate.
Tamae, one of our guides, also had some pictures and videos that she shared with us!!

It seems that sandbars appear depending on the season or time of day. When we went in late March during the day, it was just a regular shallow sea. There was live music on the cruise, which made us feel like we were in America! The activities were also fun. It seems essential to bring a jacket or a change of clothes, as it was quite cold.
サンドバーは時期?か時間帯により砂浜が現れるようです。
