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>

Hanauma Bay ハナウマ湾

Reviewed by: ゆうこ

The veteran guide thoroughly taught us how to use the snorkel and swim with fins, making it easy for beginners to participate with confidence. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see any sea turtles, but we encountered fish that only inhabit Hawaii and a variety of colorful fish, which excited both the kids and me. I would love to participate again when I come back to Hawaii!

ベテランのガイドさんがシュノーケルの使い方やフィンを使っての泳ぎ方などしっかり教えてくれて初心者でも安心して参加できました。あいにくウミガメには会えませんでしたが、ハワイにしか生息していない魚や、色とりどりの魚に会えて子供達も私も大興奮でした。またハワイに来たら参加したいです!

Thank you for coming with a group of eight. Since there were four children aged between six and nine, I was a bit nervous about how it would go, but everyone did really well!! It was so much fun to see the seals before entering the ocean and to meet the turtles at Back Door Lagoon. We are truly happy to hear that you called it the best memory in Hawaii. Please do come back for another tour with your two families. You are always welcome.

Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

この度は8名様でお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。6歳から9歳までお子様4人でしたからどうなることかとちょっとドキドキでしたが、皆さんとても上手に出来ましたね!! 海に入る前にアザラシを見て、バックドアラグーンではカメに会えて、本当に楽しかったですね。ハワイ一番の思い出とまで言っていただけたなんて、本当に私たちも嬉しいです。是非また仲良し2ファミリーでツアーにお越しくださいね。いつでも歓迎致します。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

I think it depends on the day. 日によるんだと思います。

Reviewed by: ちびたろう

After reading the experiences, I was excited to participate because I heard we could see turtles and a lot of fish. Last time I joined an outrigger tour, there were many turtles, and I was really impressed, so I expected something similar this time. However, the waves were a bit high at the location, and there were many children and non-swimmers in the same group, so we probably couldn't go out too far this time. There weren't many fish, and of course, there were no turtles or seals... it left us wondering what we came here for. (laughs) Maybe it would have been better to snorkel on our own in Waikiki... I think it depends on the day! Also, the tour guide was very kind and nice. The transportation and care were excellent! So, you can participate with peace of mind! My rating reflects the condition of the sea that day.

体験談を見て、亀が見れて魚もたくさんみれるとのことで、期待して参加。
前回アウトリガー 前からのツアーに参加したら亀がたくさんいて、大感動したのでそんな感じかなと。
思ってましたが、現地では波も高めで同じグループの方も子供や泳げない人も多めで今回はあまり沖に出られなかったのかな?
魚も大していなくて、亀やアザラシはもちろんいなくて、、、何しにきたんだろうわたし達ってゆう感想でした。笑
ワイキキで自分らでシュノーケルした方が良かったかも。。。
日によるんだと思います!そして、ツアーガイドの方はとっても優しくていい方でした。
送迎やケアがとても良かった!なので安心して参加できます!
評価はこの日の海の状態と言った感じです。

Dear Chibitaro, thank you for joining our tour. Unfortunately, when the tide is high, waves often occur, and during such times, safety is our top priority, so we cannot go out to sea. I apologize for that. Additionally, many people participate in our tours, especially during this summer vacation season, where often half of the participants are children from multi-generational families. In such cases, the instructors must prioritize support for children and those who cannot swim, which may slow down the tour and lead to dissatisfaction among more experienced guests. I sincerely apologize for this.

Please don't let this discourage you; when the sea conditions are good, Hanauma Bay is truly beautiful, with a variety of fish to see. If you have the opportunity, I hope you will visit again.

Next time, I hope to guide you further out to sea, so I would appreciate your repeat visit. Thank you very much for coming. Mahalo!!

ちびたろう様、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。残念ながら満ち潮と重なるとどうしても波が出てしまうことが多いので、そんな時は安全第一で沖には出られないのです。ごめんなさいね。またツアーにはいろんな方が参加されますので、特にこの夏休みシーズンは3世代ファミリーでの参加も多く、人数の半数はお子様になってしまう時が多くなります。そんな時はどうしてもインストラクターはお子様や泳げない方へのサポートを優先するためにツアーがスローになったりで、上手なお客様にはご不満が出てしまうのかもしれません。本当に申し訳ございません。これに懲りずに、ハナウマ湾は海の状態が良い時に来ていただければ、本当にいろんな種類のお魚が見れてとても綺麗な海なんです。また機会がありましたらぜひ訪れてみてください。
次回は是非沖の方までご案内できればと思っておりますので、リピートしていただければと思っております。
本当にお越しいただきありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

The husband and wife team were insightful, helpful, and made sure everyone was safe. They even picked us us and gave us a mini tour of the island sites as we drove. I would definitely recommend to anyone including families with children. They had an additional family with us with small children and they provided them with extra resources to be safe and have fun.

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>

It was good. 良かったです。

Reviewed by: クール

Since my wife and daughter had no experience with snorkeling and weren't strong swimmers, we decided to hire a guide. It turned out to be a great decision. The guide carefully explained the precautions and techniques, and took great care of my daughter and wife, which made me feel at ease. I definitely think that having a guide is essential for beginners.

Also, I believe it's better to wear a wetsuit for various reasons. It reduces the risk of injury from coral and helps with buoyancy. I am truly grateful to our guide for this experience.

シュノーケリング未経験かつ泳ぎが得意でない妻と娘が一緒だったので、ガイドさんをつけました。
結果は大正解でした。注意事項ややり方を丁寧に教えてもらい、娘や妻をかなりケアしてくれたので安心でした。特に初心者は断然ガイド付がいいと思います。
また、ウエットスーツは色々な意味であった方がいいと思います。珊瑚でケガするリスクや、浮きやすさがあるからです。
今回のガイドさんには本当に感謝しています。

I was incredibly satisfied to encounter two seals and a sea turtle! Even as a beginner, I felt at ease swimming because they taught me how to use the snorkel. I appreciated that they checked in on me during the trip to see if I was okay. It was also great that they took photos before entering the water and underwater.

奇跡的にアザラシ二頭とウミガメに会う事が出来て大満足でした!初心者でもシュノーケルの使い方から色々と教えて頂けるので安心して泳ぐ事が出来ました。途中止まって大丈夫か確認してくれるのも有り難かったです。海に入る前と水中での写真を撮ってもらえるのもよかったです。

This time, I participated in snorkeling with my 13-year-old son. It was our first time snorkeling in Hawaii, and unfortunately, we didn't encounter any honu (turtles), but swimming with an incredible number of tropical fish became an unforgettable memory.

I felt very comfortable participating thanks to Fumio's thoughtful care, which is especially appreciated from a woman's perspective. Thank you so much for sending us so many photos after the tour! Next time we visit Hawaii, I definitely want to join Fumio's tour again. Thank you for this wonderful experience.

今回、13歳の息子と親子でシュノーケリングに参加しました。ハワイでのシュノーケリングは初めてで、残念ながらホヌ(亀)には出会えませんでしたが、物凄い数の熱帯魚と一緒に泳げたことは、忘れられない思い出となりました。
フミオさんの女性ならではの細やかな心遣いに安心して参加でき、とても良かったです。参加後に沢山の写真を送って下さり、本当にありがとうございました!次回、ハワイを訪れた際もまたフミオさんのツアーに是非参加したいと思います。この度はありがとうございました。

Thank you for your support. お世話になりました

Reviewed by: non

I participated with my father and son. All three of us were filled with anxiety as it was our first time snorkeling. In the end, we felt that we couldn't have done it without the guide! We didn't even know how to put on the wetsuits, and once we got into the water, we struggled to put on our fins due to the waves and ended up stumbling a lot. During those times, we received help multiple times. Especially my father, who is 70 years old, needed support in some areas. He also mentioned that he couldn't have done it without the guide! We were desperately trying to keep up with everyone, but the underwater scenery was more beautiful than we imagined, and it became the best memory of this trip! Thank you very much!

父と息子と私の三人で参加をさせて頂きました。
三人とも初めてのシュノーケリングで不安でいっぱいでした。結果としてガイドさん無しでは出来なかったという感想です!ウェットスーツの着用の仕方から分からず、また海に入ってから波に押されなかなかフィンが履けなかったりよろけてしまったり。そんな時に何度も助けて頂きました。特に父は70歳という年齢もありついていけないところもサポートして下さいました。父もガイドさん無しでは無理だった!と話していました。皆さんについていくのが必死でしたが、、海の中は想像以上に素敵でこの旅の1番の思い出となりました!!ありがとうございました!

Thank you for joining the tour with Blue Hawaii Divers. During the afternoon tour that day, we experienced the highest tide, which made for some challenging conditions with waves, but your father did a great job and persevered until the end. I remember that your 6-year-old child also swam hard, riding on Mr. Dan's back like a little turtle. I'm truly happy to hear that it became the best memory of your trip. Please do come back with your family again. We are always here to assist you. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

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。この日の午後ツアーの最中が一番の満ち潮と重なり、波もあり、ちょっと難しいコンディションでしたが、お父様も最後まで頑張ってくださいました。確か6歳のお子様もダン先生の背中に子亀のように乗っかって頑張って泳いでくれた日でしたね。旅の一番の思い出になったとまでおっしゃっていただき、本当に嬉しく思います。是非またご家族皆様でリピートしてください。
いつでも皆様のお手伝いをさせていただきますよ。

It was really great! I couldn't meet the turtles, but I thought it was not allowed to go over the coral, so I couldn't go there myself. I was able to see schools of fish many times, and I was so moved that I wondered if I had come to heaven.

とっても良かったです!カメには会えなかったけど、サンゴの上は行っては駄目と思っていたので、自分では行けなかった所でした。魚の大群が何度も見れて、天国来てしまったかしら?と思うほど感動しました。

Hanauma Bay, lots of cats, and now seals are also present? ハナウマ湾 猫いっぱい 今ならアザラシも常駐?

Reviewed by: タマちゃん

At 7 AM, we were picked up from the hotel and headed to Hanauma Bay, which has been selected as the No. 1 best beach. This shallow sea, formed from a collapsed volcanic crater, is teeming with fish. You can swim surprisingly close to them.

The reason for the early morning start is that the parking lot fills up quickly. Due to conservation efforts, the parking capacity is small, and once it reaches full capacity, the gates are closed. During this time before the summer vacation in Japan, there are fewer Japanese tourists, and many locals are present. Also, there are plenty of cats on the beach.

And guess what!! A large guest, a seal, was there. Previously, they could only be seen a few times a year, but now it seems they are visiting almost every day.

Chieko from Blue Hawaii Divers kindly explained how to use the snorkel, and as soon as I dipped my face into the water, I could see fish right in front of me at a depth where I could still stand. As I continued swimming among the schools of fish, I finally spotted a sea turtle. Since it was featured in the educational video about Hanauma Bay, I kept my distance and was able to swim alongside it.

早朝7時のホテルピックアップでNo.1ベストビーチにも選ばれたハナウマ湾に。元々火口だったところが落ち込んでできた遠浅の海に魚がいっぱい。
びっくりするくらい近くで泳ぐことがでできます。

朝がやたらと早い理由は駐車場がいっぱいになってしまうからだそう。
自然保護のためか駐車場のキャパシティーが小さいので、いっぱいになった時点でゲートを閉じてしまうそうです。
日本の学校の夏休み前のこの時期は日本人が少なく、地元の人がいっぱい。そしてビーチには猫もいっぱい。

そしてなんと!!大きな先客、アザラシ君が。
以前は年数回しか見られなかった彼らですが、今ならほぼ毎日と言っていいくらい訪れているみたいです。

ブルーハワイダイバーズのチエコさんが丁寧にシュノーケルの説明をしてくれ、軽く水面に顔をつけると足の着く深さにももうすぐ目の前に魚が。
魚群の中泳ぎ続けるとようやくウミガメが。
ハナウマ湾の教育ビデオにもあったので遠巻きにして、一緒に泳ぐことができました。

Thank you, Tama-chan, for joining the tour with Blue Hawaii Divers. Although the pickup was early in the morning, I'm glad to hear you enjoyed your time with the seals, green sea turtles, and the cats. Recently, the seals Kecoa and Koro have been visiting the beach often, much to everyone's delight. The school of striped parrotfish was beautiful as well! We look forward to having you both join us for another tour. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

タマちゃん様、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。朝早いピックアップでしたが、アザラシ、アオウミガメ、猫達と楽しんでいただけたようで良かったです。本当に最近はアザラシのケコアとコロへがよくビーチに来てくれるので、皆様に喜んでいただいております。シマハギの群れも綺麗でしたね!是非またお二人でツアーにリピートしていただけるのをお待ちしております。

Swimming with sea turtles was amazing! 海亀と泳げて最高

Reviewed by: えみちゃん

I swam with about 10 participants and 2 instructors. The sea was beautiful and clear, and just swimming felt really good. On that day, I was surprised to see a seal napping on the beach. I couldn't find a sea turtle right away, but I was glad to see one in the end. The sea turtles are cute, and even with people around, they swim gracefully, making it fun to swim alongside them. I probably wouldn't have been able to find them on my own. It's important to remember to wear your swimsuit under your clothes, as there may not be time to change.

10人くらいの参加者と2人のインストラクターで泳ぎました。海は綺麗で澄んでいて、ただ泳いでいるだけでとても気持ち良かったです。
この日は、なんとアザラシがビーチでお昼寝をしていて、びっくりしました。
海亀はすぐには見つかりませんでしたが、最後に見つかって良かったです。
海亀はかわいくて、人が周りにいても優雅に泳いでいるので、楽しく一緒に泳げました。
たぶん個人では絶対に見つけられなかったとおもいます。
水着は、服の下に着て行くのを忘れると、着替える時間がないので注意が必要です。

Dear Emi-chan, thank you for participating in the tour. On that day, there was quite a significant low tide, so I thought we might not be able to swim over the coral reef and that there might not be any sea turtles inside. However, we were very lucky to find them in the beautiful Sandman's Patch. It was great that you were able to swim with the sea turtles for a long time! You were truly a fortunate guest to also meet the seals!!

We would be delighted if you could join our tour again when you come back to Hawaii. We are always here waiting for you.

Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

えみちゃん様、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。この日はかなりの引き潮でしたのでサンゴ礁の上を泳ぐことができず、ウミガメもインサイドにいないかもしれないなあと思っていましたが、とてもラッキーなことにサンドマンズパッチの綺麗なところで見つけることができました。ずっと一緒にウミガメと泳ぐことが出来て良かったですね!それにアザラシにも会えて本当に幸運なお客様です!!

I had a great time! とても楽しめました!

Reviewed by: なおパパ

We signed up as a family of six, and my elderly mother joined us for the tour while five of us, including my two elementary school-aged sons, participated! With the support of our guide Chieko, even as a beginner, I was able to see not only sea turtles but also many beautiful fish! We swam for about an hour, and my younger son, who is in lower elementary school, had to take a break and head back to the beach, but I was really glad we got to see the sea turtles before that.

Even if you're not confident in your swimming skills, there's no need to worry about drowning; as long as you can breathe calmly through your mouth, you should be fine. There will be explanations during the preparation phase, but since we swim close to the rocky areas and the water temperature is lower in the morning, I think it's better for those who are concerned to rent a wetsuit.

I was tired, but I was truly satisfied to see the underwater world that I've only seen on TV. After the tour, my two sons immediately bought snorkeling sets at ABC Store. If I have the chance, I would definitely like to participate again.

家族6人で申し込み、1人年配の母は見学で小学生2人の息子を含む5名で参加しました!
ガイドのchiekoさんのサポートもあり、初心者私も含めてウミガメはもちろん、綺麗な魚をたくさん見ることが出来ました!
約1時間泳ぎっぱなしになるので低学年の次男は途中で浜辺へ引き上げましたが、その前にウミガメが見れて本当に良かったです。
泳ぎに自信がなくても溺れる心配はなく、落ち着いて口呼吸さえできれば問題ないと思います。
準備段階で説明がありますが、岩場のすぐそばを泳ぐこと、午前中は水温も低めのため気になる方はウエットスーツをレンタルされた方が良いと思います。

疲れましたが、テレビ等でしか見たことのない海の中を実際に見れて本当に満足です。
息子2人はツアー終了後、早速ABCストアでシュノーケリングセットを購入しました。
機会があれば、ぜひまた参加したいと思います。

The support was excellent. サポートは万全でした

Reviewed by: みーちゃん

In the afternoon session I participated in, there were two Japanese and five foreigners. I joined alone and was worried because I’m not very good at swimming and don’t have much stamina, but Chieko and Dan helped me throughout, and I was able to enjoy it until the end. The sand was swirling, so the visibility wasn’t excellent, but I was able to see many beautiful fish and sea turtles. They also took photos, which can be downloaded for free from Facebook, so I think that’s considerate. It was a hot summer day, but there were many cold spots in the sea, and I often found myself shivering. Out of the seven participants, five were able to swim from one end of Hanauma Bay to the other. This was my second time participating in a snorkeling tour, and I felt that you really need to be able to swim to some extent and have stamina to enjoy it fully. Overall, I was very satisfied with the tour and had a great time.

私の参加した午後の部は、日本人2名、外国人5名でした。私は1人参加で、泳ぎも得意なほうではなく、体力もあまりないため、心配していましたが、チエコさん、ダンさんに終始手を引いていただき、何とか最後まで楽しむことが出来ました。砂が舞っていて透明度は抜群とは言えませんでしたが、たくさんのキレイなお魚や海ガメも見ることが出来ました。写真も撮っていただき、Facebookから無料でDL出来るので、良心的だと思います。夏の暑い日ではありましたが、海は冷たいところも多くあり、震えることも多かったです。7名中5名は、ハナウマ湾の端から端まで泳げました。シュノーケリングツアーに参加するのが2回目でしたが、やはりある程度、泳げて、体力もないと厳しいと感じました。ツアー自体は、とても満足がいったし、楽しかったです。

Thank you for joining the tour. Since we went out to sea from the keyhole that day, it might have been more challenging than swimming inside. However, I believe you were able to keep going until the end because Mr. Dan was there to guide you the whole time. I'm glad you got to see the sea turtles as well.

Please feel free to come back anytime if you have the opportunity. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

この度はツアーにお越しくださり、ありがとうございます。この日はキーホールから沖へ出ましたので、インサイドを泳ぐよりも難しかったかもしれませんね。でもずーっとダン先生が一緒に引っ張って泳いでくれていましたから、最後まで頑張っていただけたかと思います。ウミガメにも会えて良かったですね。

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング ベテラン日本語ガイドがご案内する少人数制ツアー 貸切プランあり<半日>

It's safe even for beginners!! 初心者でも安心です!!

Reviewed by: キャンディ

In June, I participated in this tour. When I first tried snorkeling, I struggled and couldn't really see much underwater, which was a disaster. So, I really hesitated about joining this time, but after reading other people's experiences, I decided to go for it.

As a result, I received really kind and thorough instruction from Chieko and Dan, and I am truly grateful to them. I was scared to even put my face in the water and thought I might not be able to do it, but Dan told me to breathe slowly and relax, holding my hand tightly. Then, the tour with six people started! Chieko took over and guided us, swimming while holding our hands. Gradually, my fear disappeared, and when we spotted fish, Chieko would call out and even tell us their names, which made me very happy.

Since the rocks are very close, I recommend borrowing a wetsuit. It helps those who are not very good at swimming to float more easily and prevents injuries. The snorkel I borrowed here ensures that as long as you can breathe through your mouth, no water will come in, so for those who are anxious like me or not confident in swimming, you can definitely participate. If I could do it, anyone can... haha.

Swimming for almost an hour can be quite tiring, but seeing the fish makes all the fatigue disappear. If you want to get out, they will take you back to shore.

Lastly, there can be some seasickness, so I think it's a good idea for those prone to motion sickness to take medication beforehand. Thank you so much, Chieko, for holding my hand and swimming with me until the very end. I had the experience of swimming with fish in the ocean for the first time. I am grateful.

 6月、このツアーに参加させていただきました。初めてシュノーケルした時は、上手く出来ずろくに海の中を見る余裕もなく最悪だったので今回参加するにあたって本当に悩みましたが他の方の体験談を読み思い切って参加させていただきました。
結果、本当に親切丁寧に教えてくださってチエコさんダンさんには本当にお世話になりました。顔をつけるところから怖くて無理かなあ?と思っていたところ、ダンさんがゆっくり息をしてください。力抜いてくださいと言って手をしっかり握ってくださいました。そして、6名でのツアースタート!チエコさんに交代してみんなの後をしっかり手をひっぱって泳いでくれました。だんだん怖さもなくなり、魚をみつけてはチエコさんが声をかけてくださって、お魚の名前も教えてくれたり、うれしかったです。岩がとっても近いのでウエットスーツを借りることをおすすめします。泳ぎがあまり得意でない方は浮きやすくなりますし、ケガ防止にもなります。こちらでお借りしたシュノーケルは呼吸さえ口で出来れば絶対に水が入ってくることはありませんので、私のように不安のある方、泳ぎが得意でない方、参加を迷われてる方、大丈夫です。私でもできましたから。。。。笑
1時間近く泳ぎっぱなしでかなり疲れますがお魚さんを見たら疲れも吹っ飛びますよ。上がりたくなれば沖まで連れて行ってくれます。
最後に波酔いがありますので、船酔いしやすい方は薬を飲んでいくといいと思います。
本当にチエコさん最後の最後まで手を引っ張って泳いで下さりありがとうございました。はじめて海の中をお魚さんと一緒に泳げるという体験をさせていただきました。感謝しています。

Candy, thank you for joining our tour! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it!! Snorkeling is an activity that anyone can enjoy as long as you breathe calmly through your mouth. It really depends on your enthusiasm to give it a try! (laughs) In our tour, we use dry snorkels, so it's less likely for water to enter your mouth, making it perfect for beginners. Please do consider joining us again when you come back to Hawaii.

Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

キャンディ様、この度は私達のツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。楽しんでいただけたようで良かったです!!シュノーケリングは落ち着いてゆっくりお口からだけの呼吸をしていただければ、どなたでも楽しんでいただけるアクティビティです。後はやってみよう!と思うご本人様の意気込みでしょうかね(笑)私達のツアーではドライシュノーケルを使いますので、お口に水も入りにくく、初めての方でもきっと大丈夫ですよ。是非またハワイにお越しの際にはリピートしてくださいね。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

I had a great time! 楽しめました!

Reviewed by: TAKA

We participated as a couple. After arriving in Hawaii, we struggled with the time difference and contacted them to see if we could change our schedule from morning to afternoon. Fortunately, we were able to move it to the following afternoon. They were flexible and accommodating, which we greatly appreciated.

Upon meeting Chieko, whose reliable yet gentle demeanor put us at ease, we were able to express our concerns right away, and she was very considerate throughout. After joining Dan and a family from Seattle, we received excellent support and were able to enjoy snorkeling with peace of mind.

We were thrilled to see a honu and even downloaded photos from Facebook. I took motion sickness medication, but my husband ended up feeling seasick, and I apologize for any concern that caused. However, we had a wonderful time! Thank you!

夫婦で参加しました。
ハワイ到着後、時差に身体がなじめず、午前から午後へ変更できればと連絡したところ、翌日の午後へ変更いただくことができました。
ちょうど空きがあったとのことでしたが、柔軟に対応いただき、大変ありがたかったです。
チエコさんの頼もしくも優しい雰囲気に、お会いしてすぐ心配な点をお伝えすることができ、いろいろとお気遣いいただきました。
ダンさんと、シアトルからのファミリーと合流した後は、手厚いフォローでシュノーケリングを安心して楽しむことができました。
ホヌにも会えて、Facebookから写真もダウンロードできて、嬉しかったです。
酔い止めを飲んでいましたが、主人が波酔いしてしまい、ご心配をおかけしました。
でも、とても楽しめました!
ありがとうございます!

Dear TAKA, thank you for joining the tour with Blue Hawaii Divers. From the moment we first met, I noticed that your husband seemed unwell, so I was wondering if you would be able to go snorkeling. Please do join us again next time when you are both feeling better. We are always here to welcome you. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

TAKA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。最初にお会いした時からご主人様は具合がまだ悪いご様子でしたので、シュノーケリングができるのかしらと思っておりました。是非次回は体調が良い時にまたお二人でご参加くださいね。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!!

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>

It was fun. The sea was beautiful. 楽しかった。海がきれいでした。

Reviewed by: lin

It was my first time snorkeling, and the guide was great at teaching us. They took us to various places while holding our hands, which was really nice. Although the waves were high and I couldn't see any sea turtles, there were so many beautiful fish, and I was truly moved by the experience. I would love to do it again next time.

シュノケリングははじめてでしたので、ガイドさんが教え方が上手ですし、いろんな所へ手を繋いでつれてってくれましたので、本当によかったです。波が高く、ウミガメ見えなかったのですが、きれいな魚がいっぱいいて、初めての体験に感動しました。次回またお願いしたいと思います。

When my friends decided to go to the place where the turtles are, I ended up feeling unwell and had to return to the beach. However, the guide handled everything smoothly, and my friend was able to avoid getting sick. I feel really sorry for causing trouble to everyone, but I am truly grateful to the guide. Thank you for the enjoyable time.

友達が亀がいる場所にさあ行くぞ!っとなった時に体調が悪くなってしまい砂浜に戻ることになってしまいましたが、段取りよく対処してくださり友達もリバースを免れました。ただ皆に迷惑をかけてしまって申し訳なさいっぱいですが、ガイドさんについては本当に感謝の気持ちいっぱいです。楽しい時間をありがとうございました。

Chiro, thank you for joining the tour with your friend. The tide was low that day, and the water was clear, so we enjoyed a leisurely fish-watching experience in the shallow waters. The schools of striped surgeonfish were beautiful, weren't they? Recently, turtles haven't been coming into the inside area, so we have to search further out, but your friend got seasick along the way. I'm really sorry for making you swim so much. Next time, please take some motion sickness medication beforehand, and let's go on a turtle search for a rematch! I'm looking forward to seeing you again. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

チロさん、この度はお友達と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。この日は引き潮でお水も綺麗でしたから、浅瀬をずーっとゆっくりお魚ウォッチングな感じでした。シマハギの群れが綺麗でしたね。最近はインサイドには亀が入ってきてくれないので沖まで探しに行くのですが、お友達は途中で波酔いしてしまったんですよね。いっぱい泳がせてしまってゴメンなさい。是非次回は事前に酔い止めを飲んできていただいて、リベンジで亀を探しに行きましょう!!またお会いできるのを楽しみに待っております。本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

I got to meet a sea turtle! ♡ ウミガメに会えました!♡

Reviewed by: キョロリ

I participated this time because I wanted to see sea turtles. It seems that it was a day with waves, and we couldn't meet sea turtles even after going to various points, but the guide took us to different places, and we finally got to see sea turtles and swim close to them! If it weren't for the guide, we wouldn't have been taken to places we wouldn't normally go, and I'm really glad I made this request. We also got to take photos, and those photos could be saved for free, which truly became the best memory! Thank you so much!

今回、ウミガメに会いたくて参加しました。当日は波がある日だったらしく、色々なポイントに行ってもなかなかウミガメに会えなかったのですが、ガイドさんが色々連れて行ってくれて、ついにウミガメに会うことができ、近くで泳ぐことができました!ガイドさんがいなかったら、なかなか行かないとこまで連れていってもらえて、本当に今回お願いしてよかったと思いました。写真も撮ってもらえ、その写真も無料で保存でき、本当に最高の思い出になりました♡本当にありがとうございました♡

I applied with my wife. I had some concerns, but once we were picked up by our guide, Chieko, those worries disappeared. She was that considerate. We were able to see not only turtles but also rare rays right below us, and I believe it was the unique experience provided by Chieko and her team that made it so special.

妻と二人て申し込みました。
多少不安はありましたが、ガイドのチエコさんにピックアップされてからはその心配も吹き飛びました。
それくらい気遣いをされるかたでしたでしたので。
亀はもちろん、珍しいエイも真下に見れて、チエコさんらならではの経験がそうさせてるのだと思います。

Dear Tomoyuki, thank you for joining the Blue Hawaii Divers tour. The sea conditions were good that day, and we ventured out from the Keyhole. We saw a school of giant trevally swimming in circles on the heart-shaped sandy bottom, and later encountered turtles at two spots. Lucky for us, we also spotted two manta rays! While I've often seen manta rays during boat diving, this was my first time seeing them while snorkeling at Hanauma Bay. You were truly a fortunate customer.

Please do consider joining our tour again when you visit Hawaii. We are always here to welcome you back. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

ともゆき様、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。この日は海の状態も良く、キーホールから沖へ出てみました。ハート型の砂地でギンガメアジの群れ(グルグル回って泳いでました)を見て、その後は2カ所で亀に遭遇し、ラッキーなことにマダラトビエイが2匹泳いでいるのに出会えました!!ボートダイビングでしたらマダラトビエイはよく見てましたが,ハナウマ湾でシュノーケリングで見れたのは私も初めてでしたよ。本当に幸運なお客様でした。
是非またハワイにお越しの際には私達のツアーにリピートしてくださいね。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!!

Amazing Experience!

Reviewed by: elllop

My husband and I were first time snorkelers. Dan picked us up promptly from our hotel and we had a lovely drive to Hanauma Bay. Dan explained everything to us and was very professional. We snorkeled at our own pace, but Dan and his wife were always watching to make sure that everyone in our group was safe. We were lucky enough to see four turtles as well as other fish. All necessary gear was provided. I highly recommend this tour!

Hanauma Bay Self-Guided Snorkel Tour & Gear Rental with Hotel Transportation

Super fun time!

Reviewed by: Lacey S.

Our shuttle time was for 9am and we’re were picked up at 8:59am in a 12 person van. It only took 20 minutes to get to the bay but then we had to wait for 15 minutes just to park and get out. Our drivers name was Diogo and he was super friendly and nice to look at too lol :) After being fitted for our gear we walked to the entrance and paid our $7.50 per person over 13 years to get in and watched a 10 minute video about the history of the bay. It’s a little ways to walk down to the bay and can be tiring to walk back up after snorkeling but they offer shuttle service for $1.25 each way or $2.50 for the day. Take the shuttle. There’s a snack bar at the top if you want a $4 precooked hotdog but it’s better to bring your own snacks. We got into the water at 10:15am and met back up with the driver at 2pm to go back to our hotel, again he was right on time. Overall the kids thought it was fun and we would do it again. The best snorkeling is off to the left side of the beach. The water gets clearer the further you go out.

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 time snorkeling. I even got to see a turtle! 人生初のシュノーケル。カメさんにも会えた!

Reviewed by: Kaedecountry

It was the first snorkeling experience for the whole family, but thanks to the precise guidance from the guides, we were able to enjoy it. The water in May was quite cold, and it was a good decision to rent wetsuits. Occasionally, the waves would push us around, making us feel a bit seasick, and as beginners, we got tired after about an hour. We were also able to see a turtle, which was satisfying. Thank you, Chieko and Dan!

家族全員、初シュノーケルでしたが、ガイドさんたちの的確な指導により、楽しむことができました。5月の水は結構冷たく、ウエットスーツを借りて正解でした。時折、波に体が流されて船酔いのような感じになり、初心者は1時間程度で疲れました。カメさんにも会うことができ、満足です。Chiekoさん、Danさん、ありがとうございました!
