We had a great time. My wife was a bit nervous since it had been a while since she went into the ocean, but she was always taken care of during snorkeling. She even said, "I want to go snorkeling again! I wanted to do more!" Thank you for such a wonderful time! 😊

楽しい時間を過ごす事が出来ました。奥さんは、海に入るのも久しぶりで緊張していましたが、シュノーケリング中いつも気にかけて下さり、奥さんは「またシュノーケリング行きたい！もっとやりたかった！」と言ってくれるまでに。

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング　日本語ガイドが海の世界へご案内＜シュノーケルセット／終日＞

My first snorkeling! 初シュノーケリング！

Reviewed by: かかかか

We participated as a family of four, including two elementary school students. Since it was during Japan's Obon holiday, we were prepared for a large group, but luckily, we were the only participants.

Since it was everyone's first time snorkeling, they carefully taught us how to put on the mask, how to breathe, and how to swim, which made us feel at ease. The guide held the children's hands and took us to spots with more fish, allowing us to see many beautiful fish.

They also took a lot of photos and sent them to us via LINE.

The price is definitely not cheap, but for us as first-timers, choosing this tour with a Japanese guide was a fantastic decision.

小学生二人含む家族四人で参加しました。日本のお盆休みの時期だったので、他の大勢での参加を覚悟していましたが、ラッキーな事に私達家族だけの参加でした。

全員初シュノーケルだったので、マスクのつけ方、息の吸い方、泳ぎ方など一から丁寧に教えてくださり安心して参加することができました。
ガイドさんが子供達の手を引いて、より沢山の魚がいるスポットに連れていってくださり、沢山の綺麗なお魚を見ることができました。

写真も沢山撮ってくださり、LINEに送ってくださいました。

値段は決して安くはないですが、初めての私達にとっては、日本人ガイドさん付のこのツアーにして大大大正解でした。

I was very satisfied with the thorough guide from one end of Hanauma Bay to the other. Compared to other tours, the content was rich and a bit challenging, but I think the level of satisfaction was completely different. Additionally, I was impressed by the flexibility in adjusting the content to match the participants, and I was touched by the personalities of Chieko and Dan! I also appreciated that they provided photos for free on Facebook.

Amazing! I highly recommend it. 最高！おススメです。

Reviewed by: エムタン

I participated in this highly-rated snorkeling tour at Hanauma Bay, among several options available. I had some previous snorkeling experience, but I wanted to join a properly guided tour. Early in the morning, our guide Dan picked us up from the hotel and we headed to Hanauma Bay.

Initially, I wasn't planning to rent a wetsuit, but after receiving explanations about injury prevention and increased buoyancy, I decided to rent one. It was my first time wearing a wetsuit, and I highly recommend it! Hanauma Bay has deep areas, but we also swam in shallow rocky spots. If I hadn't worn the wetsuit, my legs might have been covered in cuts… (*^^*)

Guides Dan and Chieko took us to a spot with plenty of fish. I don't think we would have encountered so many fish on our own. Before I knew it, we had been swimming for nearly an hour, which was surprising! I think I'm going to become hooked on snorkeling.

Thank you, Dan and Chieko! I would love to join again!

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリングツアーはいくつかありましたが、高評価のこのツアーに参加しました。以前、ちょっとしたシュノーケルは体験済みでしたが、きちんとガイド付きのツアーに参加したくて…。早朝、ガイドのダンさんがホテルまでピックアップにきてくれて、ハナウマ湾まで向かいます。
ウェットスーツは当初レンタルする予定ではありませんでしたが、ケガ防止や浮きやすくなるなどの説明を受けてレンタルすることにしました。初めてウェットスーツを着用しましたが、これはおススメです！ハナウマ湾は深いところもありますが、岩場の浅瀬で岩ギリギリのところも泳ぎます。もし、ウェットスーツを着用してなかったら、足が傷だらけになっていたかも…(*^^*)
ガイドのダンさんとチエコさんがお魚がたくさんいるところまで連れて行ってくれます。自分たちだけのシュノーケルだとこんなにたくさんのお魚には出会えていなかったと思います。気が付いたら、１時間近く泳いでいて、びっくり！！シュノーケリングのとりこになりそうです。
ダンさん、チエコさん、ありがとうございました！　また、参加したいです！！

You can leave your belongings locked up on the beach, so it's safe. (That said, it's better to avoid bringing large sums of money or anything that would be a problem if stolen...)
You can also take photos with a GoPro.
We had a lot of blurry pictures, so that was a bit disappointing...

I do not like the water!

Reviewed by: Jenny, Nathan & kids

This was a great experience. I do not like the water and get motion sick very easily. However, I could not visit Hawaii without giving snorkeling a try. Dan showed the kids (10 & 12) what to do and gave us time to practice. Seeing how uncomfortable I was, Dan stayed with me and literally held my hand the whole time. I still felt sick by the end from the motion, but the rest of the family did awesome and really enjoyed the experience. Double Dramamine for me next time.

I had a great time snorkeling for the first time at Hanauma Bay! ♬ 人生初のシュノーケリングをハナウマ湾ですることができて、楽しかったです♬

Reviewed by: YUKI

From August 3rd (Saturday) to August 15th (Thursday), we came to Hawaii for the first time in three years for a family trip, planning to stay for a week on Oahu and five days on the Big Island. I had always wanted to try snorkeling at Hanauma Bay, and with my daughter now in the second grade, we decided to go ahead after referencing many experiences on Veltra.

I was concerned about the impact of the typhoon until the day before, but on the day of the tour, August 5th (Monday), it was clear and we were able to go snorkeling.

Dan came to pick us up at the Hilton Hawaiian Village where he was staying, and he shared stories about snorkeling and other topics during the ride, which made for a fun travel reference. We arrived at the Hanauma Bay parking lot around 7:40, and there were already many cars parked. After meeting up with another tour participant's car, we had a total of nine people for snorkeling. The group consisted of our three family members, two students and their parents, and a couple, making a total of nine.

Once we arrived at Hanauma Bay, Dan's wife, Chieko, carefully explained the features of Hanauma Bay, snorkeling, and the preparations, which made us feel secure about trying it. My daughter, being the youngest at second grade, made me a bit worried at first, but Chieko supported her throughout, and she became the best at snorkeling in our family, beaming with joy saying, "I had fun!"

At 8 AM, the seawater temperature was still a bit cold, and although we hadn't signed up for wetsuits, after hearing Chieko's advice, we decided to wear them. It was great that they had prepared enough for everyone and ensured safety while snorkeling.

The conditions at Hanauma Bay had some waves, so we experienced being pushed back while swimming and also moving forward with the current. At first, I was focused on getting used to the breathing technique for snorkeling and using fins for the first time, but soon I started to see fish and wanted to see them better.

My daughter held hands with Chieko and swam while relaxed, which reassured me. I enjoyed snorkeling while holding hands with my wife. At one point, Chieko spotted a turtle, and we were lucky to see it up close, about three meters away!

Even with just about an hour of snorkeling, it felt long underwater, which was a new sensation for me. Everyone who participated in the tour seemed to have a great time, and it became a wonderful memory from this trip.

Thank you so much, Dan and Chieko. I would love to participate again when we come back to Oahu! (●＾o＾●)

８月３日（土）～８月１５日（木）まで、家族旅行で、オアフ島に1週間とハワイ島に５日間の宿泊予定でハワイに３年ぶりにやってきました。ハナウマ湾で、シュノーケリングをいつかはしてみたいと思っていたので、娘が小学２年生になったのを機に、ベルトラさんで多くの体験談を参考にさせていただき決めていきました。
前日まで台風の影響はどうだろうかと気にかけていましたが、ツアー当日の８月５日（月）は快晴で、シュノーケリングを行うことができました。

ダンさんが滞在している、ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジまで迎えに来てくれて、車内でもシュノーケリングのことやそれ以外のお話もしてくれて、楽しく旅行の参考にもなりました。
ハナウマ湾の駐車場は７：４０くらいに到着して、すでにたくさんの車が停まっていました。もう一台のツアー参加者さんの車と合流して、私たちは９名でシュノーケリングを行っていきました。ツアー参加者の構成は我が家の３人と、学生のお子様２人とご両親の４人家族の方、カップルの方達が１組で合計９人でした。

ハナウマ湾に到着してからは、ダンさんの奥様のチエコさんが、ハナウマ湾の特徴や、シュノーケリングのこと、準備を詳しく丁寧に伝えてくれたので、安心してトライしていくこともできました。小学２年生の娘が最年少で、最初はできるかなと半分心配していましたが、チエコ先生が終始サポートをしてくださり、我が家の中では一番上手にシュノーケリングができるようになり、「楽しかったよ。」と満面の笑みでした。

朝８時はまだ海水の温度が冷えている方らしく、我が家はスウェットスーツまでは申し込んでいませんでしたが、チエコ先生の話を聞いて、着用することにして参加することにしました。人数分準備してあることや、安全にシュノーケリングができることを配慮されていることも良かったです。

ハナウマ湾の状態は波が少しある方でしたので、泳いでも少し戻されていったり、反対に流れとともに進んだりするような感じで潜っていきました。最初はシュノーケリングの呼吸のしかたになれること、フィンを初めて使ったので、動かすことに夢中でしたが、そのうちお魚たちが見えてくるようになり、もっとよく見たいと思えるようになってきました♬

娘はチエコ先生と手をつなぎ、力を抜いて泳ぎながら海中を見れていたので、安心しました。私は妻と一緒に手をつないでシュノーケリングを楽しみました。途中チエコ先生がカメがいることを発見して、3メートルくらいの距離でまじかに見ることができたこともラッキーでした♪

1時間くらいのシュノーケリングの時間でも、海の中では長く感じたことも初めての感覚でした。一緒にツアーに参加されていた皆さんも楽しかったようで、今回の旅の中で、良い想い出になってくれましたよ。

ダンさん・チエコさん本当にありがとうございました。またオアフ島に来た際には、再び参加させていただきたいと思っています（●＾o＾●）

Despite being warned multiple times, we mistakenly went to the wrong meeting place, but they were very kind to us. (The Hilton Hawaiian Village is really something to watch out for. The Grand Islander and Grand Waikikian can be confusing.)
Our guide, Chieko, was Japanese and very kind and attentive. Unlike a previous snorkeling tour where I had a foreign guide and struggled to communicate, which made me feel scared when I cramped up, we were able to enjoy ourselves as a couple this time.
It's also great that we could take photos with a GoPro and receive them later. I brought an underwater camera, but I was so focused on swimming that I couldn't take good pictures, so this truly became a lifelong memory. Thank you very much.

Choosing a tour with a Japanese guide for my first visit to Hanauma Bay was the right decision! Although the waves were high that day, I was able to see colorful fish of shapes I had never seen before, huge fish, and even sea turtles up close! I don't think I would have been able to swim that far on my own. Additionally, I received proper instruction on how to wear the mask, clear water from it, maintain posture, and stand in the water, which allowed my husband, who isn't a strong swimmer, to enjoy the experience until the end without worry! Thanks to our guide, Fumio, I truly appreciate it!!

I participated because I wanted to see the honu. I was able to see the honu within 1 meter, and I also saw many beautiful fish up close, which was great for the kids as well. I think it was a good decision to join this tour, as I wouldn't have seen them without the guide. It was 32 degrees in June and sunny, but surprisingly the seawater was quite cold, and I felt chilly when I got out. Also, the distance between the seawater and the rocks was narrow, and I scraped my knees. I recommend that participants borrow a wetsuit. I was happy that Fumio took many photos of us while snorkeling, including pictures of the fish and honu. Since there is quite a bit of swimming involved, I recommend having breakfast before participating. It was a lot of fun.

ホヌを見たくて参加しました。1m以内にホヌを見れ、またきれいなお魚も間近で沢山見れ、子ども達も大歓迎。ガイドさんなしでは見れなかったと思うとこのツアーにしてよかったです。6月気温32度晴れでしたが海水が意外と冷たく、上がった時は寒くて…また海水と岩の距離が狭く膝をすりむきました。参加される方はスーツを借りることをお勧めします。fumioさんがシュノーケル中や魚やホヌなどの写真を沢山撮ってくださり嬉しかったです。結構泳ぐので朝食を食べてからの参加をお勧めします。とても楽しかったです。

Thank you very much for your help. 大変お世話になりました

Reviewed by: TORU

I participated in the tour on the morning of May 10th. I was initially anxious as I was with my 65-year-old mother, but Chieko took great care of us, which was very helpful. We saw many types of fish underwater and even encountered a Hawaiian monk seal resting on the beach! It was an incredibly fulfilling experience. There were also very friendly cats and mongooses on the beach. The mongooses seemed to be a nuisance, rummaging through trash and stealing food, but they are a rare sight for Japanese people, so it was fun to see them. It seems like it became a good memory for my mother as well, and I am grateful for that.

As for advice for those who will participate, I haven't been there in the midsummer, so I can't say, but in spring and autumn, the sea is still cold. I saw the locals swimming comfortably in swimsuits, but we couldn't enjoy it the same way. Perhaps our tolerance to cold is different. It's a shame not to enjoy the beautiful sea because of the cold. I strongly recommend renting a wetsuit. The guide will choose one that fits you. From my previous experience, I knew it would be cold, so I brought my own short wetsuit, but I later thought I should have rented a full suit. Even the short wetsuit took up a lot of space in my suitcase, and my legs weren't protected, which is important since you swim over shallow areas with coral to avoid injuries.

You can leave your valuables and luggage behind, and I recommend not taking anything into the water. If you do bring something, a sturdy underwater camera would be ideal. I brought my waterproof smartphone in the zippered pocket of my swimsuit, but after about four years of use, it short-circuited and became unusable. After that, I had to go sightseeing without my smartphone. Luckily, my mother had hers, but I ended up changing my phone model when I returned home.

The guide will upload the photos they took to Facebook later. You can download them freely, and it's free!

I hope this information is helpful, and I highly recommend it! Mahalo!

5月10日の午前中のツアーに参加させて頂きました。
65歳の母親と一緒で最初は不安もありましたが、Chiekoさんが面倒を見てくれたので、とても助かりました。
水中ではたくさんの種類の魚が見れ、砂浜で寝ているハワイアンシーモンクにも出会えました！
非常に充実した体験でした。
浜にはとても人懐こいネコと、マングースなんかもいました。
マングースはそこではごみ箱を漁ったり食物をかっぱらっていく害獣のような存在のようですが、日本人にとっては珍しい生き物で、見れて楽しかったです。
母親にとっても良い思い出になったようで、感謝しています。

これから参加する人へのアドバイスですが、
真夏は来た事がないのでわかりませんが、春秋はまだ海が冷たいです。
向こうの皆さんは平気で水着で泳いでいるのを見ますが、我々は彼らと同じ調子では楽しめません。寒さに対する耐性が違うのでしょうか。
寒さでせっかくの海が楽しめないのはもったいないです。
ウェットスーツのレンタルを強く推奨します。ガイドさんがその人に合った物を選んでくれます。
自分は以前の体験から寒い事を知り、タッパーを自前で用意して行きましたが、フルスーツをレンタルすれば良かったと後から思いました。
上だけのタッパーですらスーツケースに入れると嵩張りましたし、足が保護されないので。浅い場所でサンゴの上を泳ぐので怪我防止にもなります。

貴重品や荷物は預けられます、海の中には何も持って行かない事をお勧めします。持っていくなら丈夫な水中カメラ位でしょうか、自分は防水仕様のスマホを水着のチャック付きポケットに入れて持ち込みましたが、４年程使っており経年劣化していたのか、見事にショートしお釈迦になりました。その後はスマホなしの不便な観光を強いられました。母のスマホがあったのでまだ良かったですが、帰国後はその日に機種変更です。

写真はガイドさんが撮った物を後日フェイスブックにアップしてくれます。
自由にダウンロードできます、なんと無料ですよ！

参考にして頂ければ幸いです、お勧めします！マハロ！

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング　日本語ガイドが海の世界へご案内＜シュノーケルセット／終日＞

So-so. まぁまぁ

Reviewed by: ちぃです

I wanted to see turtles, and based on the reviews, it seemed like there was a high chance of seeing them, so I had high expectations, but unfortunately, I didn't see any turtles.

The instructor was a friendly Japanese woman, which was nice. The sea was a bit murky, but I was able to see beautiful schools of fish. The instructor worked hard to swim around to areas where turtles might be, so we followed her and ended up swimming quite a bit.

I tend to get car sick, so I took some motion sickness medication, but during the second half, we were swimming in areas with high waves, and I ended up feeling seasick. After returning to the shore, I collapsed and took a little break.

The instructor really put in a lot of effort, and according to other guests, this tour goes quite far, which sounds fun.

亀を見たくて、口コミでここは高確率で見れるようだったので期待してしまっていたけど、亀は見れませんでした。
教えてくれる先生は気さくな日本人女性で、よかったです。
ちょっと海が濁ってましたが、綺麗な魚の群れは見れました。
先生が頑張って亀がいそうなとこにあちこち泳ぎまくってくれたので私たちもついていってかなり泳ぎました。

私はもともと車酔いする人なので酔い止め飲んだけど、後半波が高いところをずっと泳いだら波酔いしてしまい、浜に戻ってから倒れ込んで少し休ませてもらいました。

先生は結構がんばってくれたし、同行のお客さんによると、このツアーは割と遠くまで行ってくれるので楽しいそうです。

Hanauma Bay Snorkel Tour with Expert Guide & Waikiki Transportation

Wonderful morning

Dan was an awesome guide. Once he picked us up he gave us lots of little facts about Honolulu in general as we drove out. He was also very knowledgeable in answering our questions.

I liked that it was such a small group and felt that we all got some one on one time with the instructor as we needed.

Overall it was an amazing day and an experience I’ll remember for the rest of my life.

Highly recommend!
