Participated with family. 家族で参加

Reviewed by: なっちゃん

It was a cloudy and chilly day, and the guide recommended renting wetsuits to prevent injuries from the cold and coral. It was definitely the right decision to rent them since we passed very close to the coral.

I was truly thrilled to encounter sea turtles. The guide was bright and very kind, and I greatly appreciated their help. It was a memorable experience for the whole family.

If I have the opportunity to go again someday, I would love to join you.

曇り空で肌寒い日でガイドさんが寒さと珊瑚でケガをするのを予防する為、ウエットスーツのレンタルを勧めてくれました。
珊瑚の上ギリギリのところも通ったので貸りて大正解でした。

海亀と遭遇出来て本当に感激でした。
明るくとても親切でガイドさんには大変お世話になりました。
家族皆んなで参加出来、一生の思い出になりました。

またいつか行く機会があったら是非ご一緒させて頂きたいです。

I communicated my lack of confidence in swimming, so they were attentive and held my hand, allowing me to swim without anxiety. Seeing the beautiful fish and coral made the stress from the long COVID-19 pandemic disappear. I was able to rent a bodysuit and prescription mask, and the two instructors who spoke Japanese were very kind. I would like to use this service again. Thank you!

The dreamlike Hanauma Bay 憧れのハナウマ湾

Reviewed by: やきとり

The Hanauma Bay tour, which resumed in February, had a limited number of participants, so I felt safe joining.

I participated in the afternoon, and the low tide made everything look beautiful. The water is shallow, so it's reassuring even for beginners. They also taught us how to handle situations when water gets into the mask, and we gradually progressed, so I wasn't scared. For those who still find it challenging, the instructor stays with you the whole time.

I was very satisfied to see a variety of colorful fish and turtles. It's also comforting that communication in Japanese is perfectly fine.

2月から再開したハナウマ湾ツアー、人数制限もされていて安心して参加できました。

午後の参加でしたが、引き潮で綺麗にみえました。
浅めなので初めてでも安心です。
水がマスクに入ってしまったときの対処法なども教えてもらいながら徐々に進んでいくので怖くありません。
それでも大変な方はずっと先生についてもらえます。

色とりどりの魚にカメもみられて大変満足でした。
日本語で大丈夫なのも安心です。

They called to let me know I needed passes to Hanauma Bay (which I didn't realize). This saved our whole day because I didn't realize I had to be there so early to secure 4 tickets to the park which sell out by 8:30 am (latest). This info was a life saver as we showed up to rent our snorkelling gear by 7:30 and were at the park before 8am to secure walk-up tickets. Tip: get your tickets to Hanauma Bay online at 7am 2 days in advance (they sell out in 2 minutes). Then you don't have to wait in line at the park on the day of.

At one point, my child started saying they were cold and wanted to get out, but I appreciated how kindly the guide handled it without any negative reactions. The shuttle car was nice, and we had a comfortable drive. They took photos with a GoPro, so we have great quality memories! Data download was also available! Thank you!

It was the best tour at the best place! 最高の場所で最高のツアーでした！

Reviewed by: いもた

This was my second time snorkeling, and I participated in the tour feeling anxious about the deep water, as I could only do the crawl by myself. I decided to join after seeing everyone having fun in the reviews. I dislike cold water and am not a strong swimmer, so I was filled with the desire to back out until the last minute. However, the guide was incredibly thorough in teaching us how to breathe, and with the rental of the bodysuit, I was able to swim happily!

Once I got used to it, we went out to look for turtles, and by then, I was able to swim smoothly! Hanauma Bay is the best place; both snorkeling and the beach are amazing, and the guide is fantastic too! I highly recommend it! I will definitely join again when I go to Hawaii!

シュノーケリング二回目、一人ではクロールしかできず深いところは不安のあるなかでのツアー参加でした。
口コミから、みなさんが楽しく参加されているのを拝見して参加しました。寒い海は嫌いだし、泳ぎは苦手で直前までやめたい気持ちでいっぱいでしたが、ガイドさんが本当に丁寧に息の仕方など教えてくださり、ボディスーツのレンタルもあり、楽しく泳ぐことができました！
慣れてきたら沖に出てカメを探しに行きましたが、その時にはもうスイスイいくことができました！
ハナウマ湾は最高の場所でシュノーケリングもビーチも最高なのはもちろんですが、ガイドさんも最高です！おすすめです！

I went snorkeling for the first time! The female guide was very kind and not only sent me the photos she took of me but also pictures of the sea fish, since I didn't bring a camera. It was completely my first time snorkeling, and I felt like I was holding back the group of four, but I was fortunate to be with such a great group, and it turned out to be a fun time. However, I did feel a bit sorry for the others since the guide focused so much on me. But everyone was really nice, and I had a great time. If I have the chance to come to Hawaii again, I will definitely sign up again! I will treasure the photos! Thank you very much!

ただ、ガイドさんが私にかかりっきりになってしまったことで、周りの方に少し申し訳ない事をしたなとは感じました。でも本当に良い方ばかりで楽しかったです。

I was able to fulfill my mother's request! 母のリクエストを叶えることができました！

Reviewed by: またら

"I want to swim if I go to Hawaii!" After receiving this request, I was looking for a tour that my mother (66 years old) could join. I was about to give up due to the age restriction (only up to 65 years old) when I found this tour.

This tour alleviated all my concerns (transportation, managing valuables, where to swim to avoid fatigue, snorkeling instructions, etc.). The transportation to the hotel eased my worries about meeting up on the way there, and it was appreciated on the way back since we were tired.

Swimming was made easier with life jackets, allowing us to float even in deep water. By swimming with the current, we could conserve our energy. Even if you don't know how to use the equipment, our guide Dan explained everything in simple Japanese.

Depending on the weather and climate, it might be better to rent a wetsuit. I swam on January 31, 2020. The weather was cloudy, and the seawater was cold (not freezing, but it felt "cold... If the weather was nice, it would feel good"). I wore a rash guard over my swimsuit and shorts. Towards the end of the swim, I felt cold. I bought the rash guard locally for about $50. My mother wore a full rash guard as well, but she still said, "It feels a bit chilly towards the end." It was a good decision to bring a bath towel borrowed from the hotel.

Things I was glad I brought from Japan included candy and powdered Pocari Sweat, which I mixed with water. I wished I had brought hot water on the day.

Seeing the photos and comments in the reviews here helped me know what to prepare in advance, so I wrote this as a way to give back! I hope it helps someone!

「ハワイに行くなら泳ぎたい！」のリクエストを受け、母（66歳）でも参加できるツアーを探していました。年齢制限（65歳まで参加可）に引っかかり、諦めかけていたところに、このツアーを見つけました。
このツアーは、持っていた不安（送迎、貴重品管理、どこから泳ぐと疲れにくい、シュノーケリングのレクチャー等）をすべて解消してくれました。
ホテルまでの送迎は、行きは合流ができるか不安だったのを払拭し、帰りは疲れてるのでありがたかったです。
泳ぐのも、ライフジャケットがあるので、足のつかないところでも浮かんでいられるので、助かりました。
海の流れに逆らわないで泳ぐので体力が続きます。
使い方が分からなくても、ガイドのDanさんが日本語で簡単に説明してくれました。

天候や気候によっては、ウェットスーツを借りた方がいいかも知れないです。
私が泳いだのは、2020年1月31日。
天候は曇りでした。
海水は、冷たかったです。（水風呂まではいかないけど、「冷たい…。…お天気なら、気持ちよさそう」な体感でした。）
服装は、水着の上からラッシュガードを着て、下は短パンを履いていました。
泳いでいる最後の方は、寒く感じました。
ラッシュガードは、現地で$50くらいで買いました。
母は上下ラッシュガード着てました。
それでも、「最後の方は肌寒いなぁ」って言ってました。
ホテルで借りたバスタオルを持って行って正解でした。

日本から持って行って良かったものは、飴、ポカリスエットの粉。水に溶かして持って行きました。
当日持って行ったら良かったと思ったものは、白湯でした。

ここの口コミの写真や文章を見て、事前に準備するものが知れたので、恩返しで書きました！
誰かの役に立つといいなぁ〜

You will have plenty of time to enjoy the local experience. 現地の時間がたっぷりとれます

Reviewed by: りんじゃいも

Just before the tour, I was worried because the meeting place and time changed frequently. However, I learned that many more people than expected were visiting during the year-end period, and the guide adjusted accordingly. The meeting time changed from 7:15 to 7:00, and then to 6:45 three days prior. When I actually went, there were already a lot of cars parked at that time, and more kept arriving. We entered without waiting in line for tickets, received a video briefing inside, and then started the tour. I borrowed a suit, which was great. I didn't feel too cold and was able to enjoy snorkeling. On that day, the wind was strong and the waves were high, so we didn't see any turtles, but the guide did his best to search for them. I am very grateful for the time they took, as I was already satisfied. The snorkeling lecture was simple yet easy to understand. I had a very enjoyable time and can confidently recommend it to others. (The bad weather and sea conditions on the day were not the tour's fault, so that's just luck.) On the way back, around 9:30, there was a long line at the ticket counter (it looked like it would take a while to get in), so I thought that if you come during this time, you either need to join a tour or leave Waikiki by 7:00 to avoid waiting in line.

ツアー直前、集合場所と時間が頻繁にかわり、大丈夫かなと思ったのですが、年末で予想より多くの人が訪れることがわかり、ガイドさんが調整してくれたとのこと。7時15分集合が7時になり、6時45分まで3日前に変わりました。実際行ってみるとこの時間でも駐車場にかなり多くの自動車が止まっていて、その後も続々来ました。入場券の列には並ばず、入場し、中で映像での講習を受け、スタートとなりました。スーツを借りたのですがこれが良かった。あまり寒さを感じず、シュノーケリングを楽しめました。この日は風が強く、波が高かったこともあってか、カメは見られませんでしたが、ガイドさんは頑張って探してくれました。こちらがもう満足というほど時間をとってもらい感謝でいっぱいです。シュノーケリングのレクチャーも簡単ながらわかりやすく指導してもらえました。とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。周りの人にも自信をもってお薦めできます。（当日気象、海の状況が悪いというのはツアーのせいではありませんので、こればっかりは運ですね）帰り、9時30分ごろでは入場券窓口には長蛇の列が（ちょっとこれだといつ入れるのというくらい）できていたので、この時期にくる場合はツアーか、それともワイキキを7時までに出ておかないと列に並び時間を取られることになるなと思いました。

It was the right choice to go with a tour that had a Japanese guide. 日本語ガイド付きツアーで正解でした。

Reviewed by: パパさん

Hanauma Bay has limited parking, likely due to its focus on preserving nature, and there tends to be traffic before entry because you must watch a video beforehand. However, if you join this tour, you can enter smoothly like with a fast pass.

For snorkeling, it was our family's first time, but the practice made us feel safe and we enjoyed it. Most importantly, we were guided to the best spots to see fish, and we thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful sea, including a surprise greeting from an eel.

The transportation was also great, with a cheerful guide who spoke fluent Japanese, providing sightseeing information and recommendations for delicious places, making for a fun and engaging time. I was initially unsure about joining a guided tour, but I definitely recommend it.

Additionally, after participating, you can get commemorative photos taken underwater, which you can upload to social media, making it a truly comprehensive experience with excellent cost performance.

ハナウマ湾は、自然を守る利用からなのでしょうか駐車場が少ない、事前のビデオを見なくてはならないとの理由からどこでも入場前には渋滞しています。
このツアーで参加をするとすべてファストパスのようにすんなり入場できます。
シュノケリングの方は、私達家族は初めてでしたが練習もあり安心して楽しめました。
何より魚が見えるベストな場所に誘導してもらえるのでたくさんのさかなや、突然のウツボの挨拶など綺麗な海を充分に堪能できました。
送迎も、日本語が流暢な外人の陽気なガイドさんが観光案内や美味しいお店の紹介も交えて対応してくれるので、飽きることなく楽しい時間を過ごせます。
はじめはガイド付きツアーで参加するのか迷いましたが絶対にオススメだと思います。
あと、参加後には、海中での記念撮影なども
SNSにアップしてもらえるので本当に至れりつくせりでコスパも最高でした。
