My family had a wonderful time on this tour. Hanauma Bay is truely beautiful and this tour enabled us to jump the cues and make the most of our time here. We had 9 people in our group with 2 instructors. Thanks for an amazing morning!

Dan and his wife were great guides! Best first snorkeling experience even though I couldn't stay out in the water long :)

Never believe we could do it!

Reviewed by: Jenny, 2016/06/06

This is our first time snorkelling so it helps to have personal guides to be with us. We get to have one on one personal attention. The guides held our hands most of the time and we get to see a lot of fishes and corals. It is unbelievable and we can't believe we can do it. It is one item crossed out from our bucket list.

Pretty good

Reviewed by: Roxanne, 2014/09/13

Was a great experience for beginner snorkeler. I liked how the guides were taking pictures for their Facebook page and said we could download the images of ourselves for our records. My only complaint was that the water was not super clear, but other than that, it was worth it.

Aloha. Thanks for the review. Some days Hanauma Bay is super clear and other days not so good. It depends on the tide and wave conditions. Usually low tide and winter months have the best visibility. We hope you can join us another time when the ocean is clearer.

Hanauma Bay Guided Snorkel Tour

Reviewed by: RAN, 2013/07/13

Thoroughly enjoyed our snorkeling experience with Alan. Varying comfort levels for our family; Alan was very patient with us and helped make the experience very positive. Just wish it had lasted longer.

My Only Criticism

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2012/08/07

My only criticism is that the time spent snorkeling in the water was somewhat limited in comparison with the total time scheduled for the tour. While our instructor/guide was very good, he moved us through the two areas snorkeled in the bay very quickly. I wanted to take some pictures, but found the time to do so was very limited as the group had to move through each area at a pace that limited the time for individual viewing of fish and coral. As a result, I was only able to get very few pictures, and, to have time to enjoy a direct view of the fish without looking through the camera screen!
More time in the water and a slower pace would be desirable.

Very knowledgeable guide

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2009/06/22

Our guide was Juan Carlos and he did a great job. Took time with us (maybe because we were the only family since someone else canceled). Nice Bay, I think it was just right for us beginners.

Don't let the less then perfect weather deter you from going. We went on a cloudy overcast day and were still able to enjoy the fishes and sea turtles. Bring a water camera, get picture opportunity.

An excellent morning snorkel

Reviewed by: The Arkwells - UK, 2009/05/21

We must say a big thank you to Alan who really looked after us on this snorkel tour. My husband had never been snorkelling before and isn't particularly confident in the ocean, but Alan was brilliant, staying with him all the time, making sure he got the hang of everything. He pointed out the fish etc and knew exactly where the best spots were to make the most of the time we had at Hanauma Bay. I would definately recommend this tour to others.

A review

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2008/04/30

Alan was prompt and greeted us with a friendly smile and manner. He was thorough in his explanations and made sure we understood his message. Kiko (sp) was great with her bubbly personality and her delivery of sea creatures to the girls. The sea life was incredible and the girls had a grat time. We all commented on the quality of equipment as well which was top notch. Go, try them out. I would recomment it.

Hanauma Bay

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2008/04/09

Having a guide was really nice since this was my first time ever snorkeling. Alan taught us the basics and provided us with equipment needed. It was great seeing all the colorful fish. One downfall (which wasn't anyone's fault) was that the water was really rough the day we went, so the experience was cut short since we couldn't go out as far as planned.
Would recommend to first-time snorkelers!

Did not enjoy this because of my own shortcomings. Allyn tried to make it easy for me. He is to be commended for that!

Nice Getaway

Reviewed by: CC, 2007/11/12

Not being an experienced snorkler, it was great having Alan as our guide. He took us the good locations and was very helpful the entire time. We saw hundreds of fish, a sea turtle and the scenery was just beautiful.

Snorkelling fun

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2007/07/11

We had fun, but we like to do our own thing also. The tour was great, but the group thing is not really to our taste. Thanks for a fun time though.
