Cheiko san was a wonderful tour guide for a first time snorkeler. She was experienced, frhendly and professional! It was wonderful to follow her and explore underwater world. Even though the weather was a bit windy and waves were high, we could still enjoy safe snorkeling with her.
Participants need to bring some extra cash for equipment rental, entrance fee and others.

First of all, the pickup was in a passenger car instead of a large bus, which made for a comfortable ride, and the air conditioning wasn't too cold, which was great for someone with cold sensitivity.
On the way to Hanauma Bay, our guide, Chieko, shared information about Hawaii's geography, culture, and delicious places to eat. Upon arrival, we smoothly completed various procedures guided by Chieko and took the trolley to Hanauma Bay Beach. We quickly equipped ourselves with the provided snorkeling gear, life jackets, and fins and headed straight into the ocean. At this time, Chieko made sure to take a commemorative photo before my hair got messy.
From here, we were told to go at our own pace, so I will write from the perspective of a beginner with average swimming skills. First, there was a thorough explanation of how to swim, stand, and safety issues in the shallow water, and we started swimming fairly quickly. Even in the shallow water, we enjoyed a variety of colorful fish and corals, but once we got used to it, we splashed out into deeper water, where we encountered swirling silver fish and even sea turtles.
Chieko guided us, saying things like, "There are often such-and-such over there, follow me!" as we swam around Hanauma Bay, and by the end, I was exhausted and made my way back to the beach. They also helped with transporting the equipment and cleaning up, so after snorkeling, it was a breeze to just enjoy the complimentary chips and water. Personally, this was the most fun activity I had in Hawaii.
I think it's worth booking this experience whether you're a snorkeling novice or an expert, unless you want to relax on the beach at your own pace or play with family and friends at the water's edge without worrying about time; this is a tour that moves quickly and efficiently.
まず、迎えが大型バスでは無く乗用車なので乗り心地がよく空調も寒くないので冷え性にはありがたかったです。
ハナウマ湾までの道すがら、ガイドのチエコさんがハワイの地理や文化、美味しい店などを教えてくれます。
到着すると、チエコさんに導かれるまま、スムーズに色々な手続きをクリアし、トロリーに乗ってハナウマ湾ビーチに到着。用意された、シュノーケル、ライフジャケット、足ひれを装備して早速海へ。この際、チエコさんが髪が乱れる前にしっかり記念撮影してくれます。
ここからは、各人のペースに合わせてとのことなので、あくまで泳ぎが普通レベル&シュノーケリング初体験の一例として書きます。
まず浅瀬でしっかりと泳ぎ方、立ち方、安全や罰金事項の説明があり、割とあっさりと泳ぎ始めました。浅瀬でもたくさんの色とりどりな魚群やサンゴが楽しめましたが、慣れてきたら沖の方へザブザブ繰り出し、そこではクルクル回り続ける銀色の魚や、ウミガメにも会うことができました。
アソコには良く何何がいるよ〜、付いてきて〜と案内してくれるチエコさんのピンクの足ヒレを追いかけてハナウマ湾を泳ぎ周り、最後にはヘトヘトになってビーチにあがりました。
各種装備の運搬や、後片付けもしてくれるので、シュノーケリング後はサービスのポテチと水を頂くだけの楽チンな初シュノーケリングでした。個人的には今回のハワイのアクティビティの中で一番楽しかったです。
よっぽどハナウマ湾に詳しい人でなければ、シュノーケリング素人でも玄人でも頼むべきだと思います。
ただ、自分のペースでビーチでのんびりしたい、波打ち際で家族や友達とワイワイ時間を気にせず遊びたいといった人には向きません、サクサクサクーっとスピーディに潜って帰るツアーです。
Ryosuke, thank you for joining the tour with your partner. It was lucky that there were no other customers that day, so it became a private tour just for the two of you. We consider the condition of our guests and the sea conditions of the day to guide you to the best points at that time. On this day, it seemed that the visibility was better further out than inside, so we headed out to the central sandy area shaped like a heart. We were able to see a school of giant trevally swimming in circles and a turtle that swam slowly without fleeing. You both did very well, especially for your first time. Please be sure to join us again for a tour when you come back to Hawaii. Let's swim vigorously again! Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
リョウスケ様、この度はお二人でツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。
この日は他のお客様がいなかったのでお二人だけの貸切ツアーとなり、ラッキーでしたね。お客様の状態やその日の海のコンディションを考えて、その日その時間帯のベストポイントをご案内させていただいております。この日はインサイドよりも沖側の方が透明度が良さそうだったので、沖に出て中央のハートの砂地まで行ってみました。グルグル回りながら泳ぐギンガメアジの群れや、逃げずにゆっくり泳いでくれた亀ちゃんにも会えましたね。初めてなのにとてもお上手でしたよ。
是非またハワイにお越しの際にはお二人でツアーにリピートしてくださいね。またガンガン泳ぎましょう!!

They provide all the equipment, pick you up, let you skip the lines and into the water as quick as possible. They teach you everything you need to know so you are comfortable. Perfect length of time in the water. They take pictures of you too and post on Facebook. The snorkles are really good one way valve ones so no fear of water coming back in. They provide a bottle of water and a bag of chips afterwards. Wet suits are $10 extra and I recommend one! They speak fluent Japanese as well as English. Highly recommend.

I can't speak highly enough of Dan, he is so kind and patient! He made sure that everyone was completely comfortable in the water with the equipment before starting the tour. He was constantly checking to make sure that everyone was still doing well and took us to some spots further out that a lot of people that were snorkeling on their own weren't going to. I think we got to see a lot more than we would have if we just did it on our own so I highly recommend this tour! We got to see so many different kinds of fish and even a sea turtle! Dan was taking pictures with his GoPro and let us know that he posts them all online on his company's Facebook page and that way you are able to just keep what you want to. Him and his wife were both so sweet and you can tell they really love what they do!
Thanks Ashton, you guys all did great! Your welcome back anytime. Dan and Chieko.

I have had many snorkeling experiences, mostly on boat snorkeling trips, which gave me a sense of security knowing I could return quickly if anything happened. However, this time I had to swim a bit offshore from the coast by myself for an hour, and I became very anxious and thought about quitting. But the guide held my hand, and I managed to swim for a full hour in the beautiful sea. I had a great time and was very satisfied. Thank you!
シュノーケルの経験は何回もありますが、ボートシュノーケルのことが多く、何かあったらすぐに戻れるという安心感がありましたが、今回は海岸から少し沖の方まで自力で泳いで、1時間と言われ・・・とても不安になってしまい、辞めようかと思ったのですが、ガイドの方が一緒に手を繋いでくれて、綺麗な海をしっかり1時間泳ぎ切りました。
とても楽しめて、満足な時間でした。

Dear Saeryu, thank you for bringing your family on the tour. It was the day when, just as we were about to set off after practicing in the shallow waters, your wife said she wanted to stop.

It was also very reassuring to have instructions in Japanese. I decided to rent a wetsuit on the day, and they were very accommodating with that as well. Everyone participating in the tour was friendly and nice, making for a very enjoyable time. Thanks to this tour, I was able to learn how to breathe properly and clear my ears. We snorkeled from one end of Hanauma Bay to the other for an hour. Afterward, they explained where we swam by showing us an aerial view of Hanauma Bay, which was also moving. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to see any turtles, but I was able to see a lot of fish.

We had a great time snorkeling in Hanauma Bay with Blue Hawaii Divers. I am not a great swimmer, but our guide helped make me feel comfortable. I felt at ease even when we were out in deeper parts of the bay (~20 ft, I’d guess). We saw so many fish. Snorkeling is a must-do experience, and I think paying for a guided tour is worth it for their expertise and tips. We compared several guided snorkel options before booking this one, and we found this one to be the best value.
Just some other info: we met the group at Hanauma Bay rather than getting picked up, and it was easy to find the meetup spot. Everyone wears an inflatable life vest. The guides had water and chips for everyone after. They also took pictures with a GoPro during our snorkel activity, which were made freely available on the company’s Facebook page.
Thanks Amber, glad you guys had a good time. Hope we see you again. Dan and Chieko.

We participated with our 6-year-old and 9-year-old children. It was their first time snorkeling, and it was only my second time since our honeymoon. We considered various Hanauma Bay tours and snorkeling by boat, but we chose this one because of its high ratings. Since it was just the four of us that day, our 6-year-old was taken out to the ocean, and we even got to see a honu! It was so lucky that it came up for air while we were watching it sleep. After a long time away from the ocean, I struggled with breathing through my mouth for an hour, but we had a special experience as a family! Before we went out, we debated whether we would see dolphins or turtles, but as beginners, we were glad we chose this. We became big fans of the turtles and bought a turtle plushie to take home. We also had many photos taken! Thank you very much.
6歳と9歳の子供連れて参加しました。子供達は初シュノーケリング、親も新婚旅行以来の二回目です。 色んなハナウマ湾ツアー、船に乗ってのシュノーケリングと迷いましたが、評価が高かったのでこちらにさせていただきました。 この日は私達四人だけということもあり、6歳の次男も沖まで連れていってくれて、ホヌにも会えました! しかも寝てた所を息継ぎをしに上まで上がってきてくれたり、とてもラッキーでした。 久しぶりの海、一時間口呼吸で必死でしたが(私が)、家族で特別な経験をさせてもらいました! 出かける前はイルカか?カメか??と散々悩みましたが、初心者の私達はこちらにして良かったです。すっかりカメちゃんファンになってウミガメのぬいぐるみをかって帰国しました。
写真も沢山撮っていただきました!ありがとうございました。
Kyoko, thank you for bringing your family on the tour. It was lucky that you had a private snorkeling experience with just the four of you, without any other customers. There are various snorkeling tours in Hawaii, but for those who are completely new, practicing breathing in a spot where you can stand is much easier and provides a sense of security, so I recommend beach entry. Once you have that experience, I believe the second time will be much easier, so please try boat snorkeling next time. The sea turtles at Hanauma Bay were small and very cute. I hope you all will consider repeating the experience when you come back to Hawaii. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
キョウコ様、この度はご家族様でツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。他のお客様がいない4人だけの貸切シュノーケリングでラッキーでしたね。ハワイには色々なシュノーケリングツアーがありますが、全く初めての方は自分の足で立てる所で呼吸の練習をして頂く方が水に慣れやすく安心感は違いますのでビーチエントリーはオススメです。1度経験をしていただきますと2回目はものすごく楽にできると思いますので、次はお船のシュノーケリングにも挑戦してみてください。ハナウマ湾のウミガメは小さめでとても可愛かったですね。またハワイにお越しの際には皆さんでリピートしていただけたらと思っております。

We participated as a family of three with our 6-year-old child. There was a brief light rain on the day, but it stopped quickly, so there were no issues. Our tour had five participants, and the instructor led our son, who had a great time. In fact, our son monopolized the instructor, and I felt a bit sorry for the other two participants. At the beach, we saw a lot of beautiful fish.
This was our first experience with serious snorkeling, and everyone, including the child, was very satisfied with the content. The weather was somewhat cloudy that day, so it got a bit cold towards the end. I think wearing a wetsuit would help alleviate the cold and allow for a more enjoyable snorkeling experience.
The instructor was very kind and taught us well.
I would love to participate in this tour again if the opportunity arises.

Last time I came to Hawaii, it was stormy at the sandbar, so this time I'm making a comeback at Hanauma. It's a calm place and close to the beach, so it's easy to take a break if you start feeling unwell. This time, one of my friends got seasick, so if you're prone to motion sickness, it might be a good idea to take some medication. Even if you don't go into the water, there are plenty of cute cats and mongooses around, which is very soothing! I definitely want to join again next time!
前回、ハワイ来た時のサンドバーでは、嵐だったので今回はハナウマでリベンジです。
穏やかな場所ですし、浜からも近いから気分が悪くなっても休憩しやすいです。今回は仲間うちで波酔いした人がいたので、乗り物酔いしやすい人は酔い止め飲まれたほうがよいかもです。
海に入らなくても、たくさんの猫やマングースがいるので、可愛くて癒されます!
次もぜひ参加したい!
Thank you, Takenoko, for joining the tour with three people this time. I'm glad you enjoyed snorkeling in a different sea from the sandbar. On the Blue Hawaii Divers tour, we swim for about an hour, so those who are prone to motion sickness may experience some seasickness. For those who are concerned, I recommend taking anti-nausea medication before leaving the hotel to enjoy the tour comfortably.
Also, the cat at Hanauma is very friendly, so for cat lovers, there’s more to enjoy besides the sea. Please do consider repeating your visit when you come back to Hawaii. We are always looking forward to seeing you again. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

サンドバーとはまた違った海でシュノーケリングを楽しんでいただけて良かったです。ブルーハワイダイバースのツアーでは1時間程たっぷりと泳ぎに行きますので、乗り物酔いしやすい方は波酔いしてしまう方がいらっしゃいます。ご心配な方はホテルを出発する前に酔い止めのお薬を飲まれた方が快適にツアーを楽しんでいただけると思います。

Dan, who speaks Japanese fluently, guided us. The sea was clear, and we could see various fish. Along the way, we encountered a sea turtle swimming, which made me feel very happy. We swam a lot, so by the end, I was tired, but it was a truly valuable experience.
日本語ペラペラのDanさんが案内してくれました。海は澄んでいろんな魚も見れました。途中 ウミガメが泳いでいるところに遭遇し、とてもHappyな気分になりました。とてもたくさん泳いだので最後は疲れましたが とても貴重な体験ができました。
Dear Mana,
Thank you for joining our tour this time. It was truly lucky to see the sea turtles, wasn't it? The Blue Hawaii Divers tour might be the best swimming tour among the many Hanauma Bay tours available. We wanted everyone to see various fish and sea turtles, and perhaps Dan ended up swimming a bit too much because of that. We hope you won't hesitate to come back to Hawaii again with your son. We look forward to seeing you again. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
Mana様、この度はツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。
ウミガメにも会えて本当にラッキーでしたね。ブルーハワイダイバースのツアーは数あるハナウマ湾のツアーの中で、一番泳ぐツアーかもしれません。皆様にいろんなお魚やウミガメなど見て欲しくて、ついついDanも泳ぎ過ぎてしまったのかもしれません。これに懲りずにまたハワイにお越しの際には息子さんといご一緒にリピートしてくださいね。またお会いできるのをお待ちしております。本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

I was picked up at my hotel in Honolulu, and after about a 40-minute drive with the instructor and others, we arrived at the bay while listening to stories about Hawaii's traffic conditions. Since it's a protected beach, we watched a lecture video before entering. The way there was downhill, so I didn't need to take the shuttle. This beach is shallow, so it's more like playing in the water than snorkeling. However, it's suitable for families and beginners. The sea turtles are in deeper areas, but we were able to see a turtle eating on the rocks. The guide adjusts to your skill level, so I think you can participate with peace of mind.
ホノルルのホテルまで迎えに来てもらい、インストラクターさんの車で約40分、他の方と同乗でしたが、ハワイの交通事情等お話しを聞きながらドライブでベイに到着。自然保護されている浜なので入場までレクチャービデオ見たりします。行きは下りなのでシャトルに乗らずとも平気でした。この浜は浅いのでシュノーケリングというか水遊び的な感じですね。でもその分、家族連れでも初心者でも大丈夫。ウミガメは深いところにいるので泳いでいく場所に行きますが岩場でご飯食べるウミガメさんに会えました。ガイドさんもレベルに合わせてくれるので安心して参加できると思います。
Thank you for joining the tour. It was great to see the sea turtle, wasn't it? Recently, they haven't been coming to the shallows, so we have to go out to the ocean to find them. You were really lucky.
We look forward to seeing you again on another tour. Thank you. Mahalo!!
この度はツアーにご参加いただき、ありがとうございます。ウミガメさんにも会えて良かったですね。最近はなかなか浅瀬には来てくれませんので、私たちから沖までウミガメさんを探しに行かないと見れないのです。本当にラッキーでしたね。
ぜひまたツアーでお会いできるのをお待ちしております。ありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

I participated with my 8-year-old and 6-year-old children. The younger one, who was feeling anxious, relaxed thanks to Dan's smile and humor, and we were able to enjoy ourselves with peace of mind thanks to Chieko's thorough lecture. I was also impressed by the thoughtful considerations and advice on the beach, not just about snorkeling. If I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely like to repeat this experience. Thank you very much! ☆
8歳と6歳の子供と参加しました。
不安に感じていた下の子も、ダンさんの笑顔とユーモアで緊張もほぐれ、チエコさんの丁寧なレクチャーのおかげで、安心して楽しむことができました。
シュノーケリングのことだけではなく、細かな配慮やビーチでのアドバイスにも感激しました。
またハワイに行く機会があれば、ぜひリピートさせていただきたいと思います。
ありがとうございました☆
Thank you for bringing your family on the tour. I'm really glad everyone enjoyed it.
If you get accustomed to breathing, even small children can see various fish while snorkeling. I believe that next time, you'll be more comfortable and have even more fun, so I hope your whole family will join us again. We are always here waiting for you.
Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
この度はご家族でツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございました。皆様に楽しんでいただけて本当に良かったです。
シュノーケリングは呼吸に慣れていただければ、小さなお子様でもいろんなお魚を見ていただけます。次回はもっと慣れて、今回以上に楽しんでいただけると思いますので、またご家族皆様でリピートしていただければと思います。いつでもお待ちしております。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

I had previously gone snorkeling at another location, but it wasn't as detailed and kind as this experience. This time, I felt that the explanations provided in advance were very thorough and considerate, ensuring that participants could enjoy themselves without any worries. Additionally, during the snorkeling, I was constantly watched over and guided, which allowed me to fully enjoy the wonderful underwater world without getting lost. I was pleasantly surprised to be able to swim for such a long time, which I hadn't expected. I would definitely like to use this service again.
以前別の場所でシュノーケリングをしたことはありましたが、今回のようにきめ細かく親切ではありませんでした。
今回はとても懇切丁寧に事前に説明いただき、参加者に不安のないよう安心して楽しめるよう配慮を感じました。
また、シュノーケリング中も常に見ていて誘導していただいたおかげで迷うことなくすばらしい海の世界を堪能することができました。
また、こんなに長い時間泳がせてもらえるとは思っていなかったのでうれしい驚きでした。
また、利用されていただきたいと思いました。
Dear Jay, thank you for joining the tour with Blue Hawaii Divers. I'm glad to hear that you and Dan had a great time. During our tour, you will swim for about an hour, and if the wave conditions are good, we will take you further out. We will make sure to provide thorough practice beforehand. Both of you did very well. It was nice that a seal came to the beach that day. Next time, I will do my best to ensure you can see the adorable sea turtles at Hanauma Bay, so please consider joining us again when you come back to Hawaii. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
ジェイ様、この度はブルーハワイダイバースのツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。
とても楽しんでいただけたようで私もDANも嬉しく思います。私達のツアーでは1時間程続けて泳いでいただきますし、波の状態が良ければ沖の方までお連れするので、事前の練習はきっちりとさせていただきます。お二人も大変お上手に出来ていましたよ。この日はビーチにアザラシが来てくれていて良かったですね。次回こそはハナウマ湾の可愛いウミガメさんを見ていただけるように頑張りますので、またハワイにお越しの際にはリピートして下さいね。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

In late August, my family (two adults and two middle schoolers) participated in a morning course. Along with us, there was a couple and a family with children, making a total of 10 participants plus instructors Dan and Chieko, bringing the total to 12 people.
Both of them were kind and had great personalities, and their explanations were very thorough. Before making a reservation, I debated whether to go with a guided tour, but I’m glad I chose this course. This is because they select the best course based on the day's sea conditions, such as the waves. If you’ve been there several times, you might prefer to go on your own, but since it was our first time at Hanauma Bay, we were unsure and a bit anxious. When they told us the course that swam from one end to the other, I thought that if it were just us, we definitely wouldn’t have chosen this course.
In the end, we were lucky to see a seal on the beach, which was adorable. It was a lucky experience!
However, since we just swam from one end to the other, it felt a little lacking. It would have been even better if we could have spent 10 to 15 minutes freely exploring the shallow areas.
But both the parents and kids had a great time. Thank you! It was a wonderful memory.
8月下旬、家族(大人2人と中学生2人)で朝からのコースで参加しました。私達のほかにご夫婦と子連れのご家族と一緒で10人とインストラクターのダンさんとチエコさんの合計12人で。
2人とも優しいですし人柄が良く、説明もとても丁寧です。予約する前、ガイドさん付きにするかどうか悩みましたが、私はこちらのコースにして良かったと思っています。と、いうのもその日の海の波などのコンディションを見て最適なコースを選び泳いでくれるから。何度か来た方なら個人で自由にでもいいと思いますが、うちはハナウマベイが初めてだったので勝手がわからず不安があったのもありますし、端から端まで泳いだコースを教えてもらった時、自分達だけだったらこのコースは絶対泳がなかっただろうなーって思ったので。
最後には運よくアザラシが浜辺にいて可愛かったです。ラッキーでした♪
ただ、端から端まで泳いで終わりだったので少〜し物足りず。ここら辺の浅瀬で自由に…とか10分15分でもあればもっと良かったかなと。。
でも、親も子供も楽しく過ごせました。
ありがとうございました!良い思い出です。
Thank you, Panda family, for joining our tour with your family of four. I'm glad you were able to see many fish for the first time at Hanauma Bay. On this day, we swam continuously for about an hour without a break, and it's impressive that everyone in the Panda family wanted to swim even more! However, I must apologize as customers on guided tours are required to swim with an instructor for safety, so free swimming is not allowed. If the wave conditions are good, our tour sometimes allows us to swim beyond the white waves out to deeper waters, so please consider joining us again in the future. For those who find snorkeling insufficient, I recommend trying our introductory diving experience. We also offer diving tours at Hanauma Bay, and you are always welcome. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
パンダ様、この度はご家族4名様でツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。
初めてのハナウマ湾でたくさんのお魚さんを見ていただけて良かったです。この日も通常通り1時間ほど休みなく続けて泳いでいますが、もっと泳ぎたかったなんてパンダファミリー様は皆さま体力がありますね!実はガイド付きツアーにお越しのお客様は必ずインストラクターと共に安全を確保して泳ぐことになっていますので、お客様のみの自由行動はだめなんです。ごめんなさいね。波の状態が良ければ、私達のツアーでは白波を超えて、沖の方までも泳ぎに行くこともありますので、また機会がありましたらツアーにリピートして下さい。もしくはシュノーケリングで物足りない方には体験ダイビングがオススメです。私達はハナウマ湾での体験ダイビングツアーも開催していますのでいつでも大歓迎致します。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

The Driver was at our hotel on time, he was courteous and professional. Friendly as well. He gave good directions and made sure our snorkel gear was in good working order. He was early for our pick up and got us safely back to our hotel. The bay is amazing and it was by far the best place I have snorkeled and that is why I returned with my family.
