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!

Even better than I thought it would be! This was my first time snorkelling and I was a bit nervous, but our guides were very patient and helpful. They made me feel totally comfortable about the whole process. We saw so many fish, including whole schools of fish swimming just centimetres away from us, and even a sea turtle.
Hi Helen, glad you had a good time. You did great! Hope we see you again. Dan and Chieko.

We participated as a couple.
Chieko's refreshing smile and flawless service when she picked us up at the hotel blew away any worries, and I had a feeling this tour would definitely be fun.
That feeling was spot on! The snorkeling at Hanauma Bay was sparkling and dreamlike, and I even want to try scuba diving with Chieko next time. (I probably will, haha.)
I believe we were able to see the sea turtles and the rare schools of giant trevally thanks to Chieko, who knows Hanauma Bay inside and out! The photo with the sea turtle that she took is a precious treasure.
Thank you so much for teaching us the beauty and value of the underwater world!
I look forward to next time as well!♪
夫婦で参加しました。
宿泊ホテルまでお迎えに来てくれたChiekoさんの爽やかな笑顔とそつのない対応に不安は吹っ飛び、このツアーは間違いなく楽しいだろうと予感しました。
予感は的中!ハナウマ湾のシュノーケリングは今思い出しても全てが夢のようにキラキラして、Chiekoさんと一緒なら今度はスキューバダイビングもやってみたいと思うほどです。(多分やりますw)
当たり前の様にウミガメさんに会えたのも、珍しいギンガメアジのグルグルを見れたのもハナウマ湾を知り尽くしたChiekoさんだからこそだと思います!撮っていただいたウミガメさんとのツーショットは大切な宝物です。
海の世界の美しさ、そして尊さを教えて下さり本当にありがとうございました♡
また次回もよろしくお願い致します♪
Tetsuyan123 and Moo, thank you for coming together this time. It was the day when one participant returned to the beach after a while, and I took you out to the sandy area of the heart offshore. The giant trevally always swims in a swirling manner like that! It was beautiful!! I'm glad the turtle came close as well. I would be happy if you could repeat your visit when you come back to Hawaii. I look forward to seeing you again. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
てっちゃん123&むう様、この度はお二人でお越し頂き、ありがとうございます。この日はお一人で参加されていた方が途中でビーチにお戻りになった後に、沖のハートの砂地までお連れした日でしたね。ギンガメアジはいつもあんな感じでぐるぐる渦巻きで泳いでいるんですよ!綺麗でしたね!!亀さんも近くまで来てくれて良かったです。是非またハワイにお越しの際にはリピートしていただけたら嬉しいです。またお会いできるのを楽しみに待っています。

I was really torn between joining a tour that only included transportation or one that had an instructor. Ultimately, I decided I definitely wanted to have fun, so I signed up for the tour with an instructor. After arriving at Hanauma Bay, we were able to enter without waiting in a long line, and it was easy to move around with just our personal belongings since we didn't have to carry snorkeling gear. This was all thanks to the instructor.
I thought snorkeling would be easy, but it turns out the entry and exit points in the water vary depending on the tide and weather. The instructor was very knowledgeable about where the fish and turtles were, which helped us maximize our experience and minimize fatigue.
I was very satisfied because we were able to see many things we wouldn't have seen if we had gone on our own. The instructor also took photos for us, allowing us to preserve our memories in a tangible way.
送迎だけがついたツアーかインストラクターの方がつくツアーに参加するか大変迷いました。やはり絶対に楽しみたいと思い、インストラクターの方がついたツアーに申し込みました。ハナウマ湾に到着後は長蛇の列に並ぶことなく入場でき、シュノーケルなどの道具も持たずに自分の手荷物を持つだけで移動も楽でした。全てインストラクターの方がいたからです。
シュノーケルに関しても、簡単にできると考えていましたが、潮の流れや天気によって海に入ったり、出てくる場所が違うようです。魚やカメが居る場所も良く熟知されているのでムダなく、体力の消耗も最小限に抑えられ良かったです。
自分達だけで行っていたら、見られなかったものを沢山見られて大満足でした。写真もインストラクターの方が撮ってくださり、思い出も形として残せました。

My spouse and I participated in a snorkeling tour. Our instructor, Chieko, provided explanations about Hawaii during the ride, which really got us excited. When we arrived at Hanauma Bay, the waves were calm and the weather was perfect, allowing us to swim close to sea turtles! I highly recommend this snorkeling experience. However, even though I took motion sickness medication, I still felt a bit seasick, so if you're prone to motion sickness, please be careful.
Thanks to our instructor Chieko, I feel like I'm falling in love with the charm of Hawaii.

Dear Lavender, thank you for joining the Blue Hawaii Divers tour.
It was a lucky day with low tide and calm waves, allowing us to head straight out to sea. We encountered a turtle right after heading out and were able to swim together for a long time. We also met another turtle at Black Point, making it truly a fortunate day.

My boyfriend was terrified of sinking and Dan explained it thoroughly which gave him the confidence he needed to do it. We saw sooo many out of this world fish it was like an acquarium, and even a turtle! We had plenty of time to explore the entire bay and you go plenty deep to see some amazing marine life.

It was me and my friend’s first time snorkeling and Dan was extremely patient. At first, I was uncomfortable with breathing under water, but Dan made sure that I relaxed myself and held on to me during the practices to ensure that I was comfortable. He took great photos for us and took us further down to see a lot of fishes and we even saw a turtle towards the end of the tour! I would highly recommend Blue Hawaii Divers to anyone who wishes to book a tour for snorkeling. It is not necessarily just for beginners, we swam in groups and there were people who have snorkeled before. On the way back to the hotel, Dan gives great suggestions on where to go, and he also gives great recommendations for food spots.
Hi Sherry,
Glad you guys had a good time. Hope we see you again.

I stayed at a small hotel, and they came to pick us up properly. The guide was surprised, saying, "It's rare to see Japanese people staying here!" as it seems that Japanese often stay at famous hotels.
We headed to Hanauma Bay in a larger vehicle that could accommodate about eight people. We participated in the afternoon session, and although the parking lot seemed full, thanks to the guide's connections, we were able to enter.
At Hanauma Bay, watching a video before snorkeling is mandatory, and we were guided by our guide to watch the video. After that, we took a shuttle down to the beach.
At the beach, they managed our belongings and valuables by providing security boxes. They also lent us mats and allowed time for changing.
We put on life jackets and got ready for snorkeling.
It seemed to be high tide, and there were waves that made it difficult to move at times, but the guide was always with us, so we could snorkel without getting lost in the sea. We were able to see fish. The guide took us to a spot where we might see turtles, but we ended up feeling seasick from the waves and had to return early. The guide was considerate of our condition, and those who felt okay were taken to other spots with another guide, so I would like to try again!
They also took photos, which made me very satisfied, but it was unfortunate that I got seasick.
However, since they were attentive to our well-being and adjusted to the participants' pace, I highly recommend this tour! I strongly suggest that those who are not confident in their physical condition bring motion sickness medication.
小さなホテルに宿泊していましたが、きちんと迎えに来てくださいました。「日本の方が泊まっているなんて珍しいと思います!」と、日本人は有名ホテルに泊まっていることが多いそうで、驚かれました。
ハナウマ湾までは8人ほど乗れる大きめの車で向かいます。
私たちは午後の部に参加したのですが、駐車場が満車のようでしたが、ガイドさんの顔パスにより私たちは入場することができました。
ハナウマ湾ではシュノーケリング前にビデオ鑑賞が必須となっており、私たちもガイドさんに案内されビデオを鑑賞しました。
そのあとはシャトルで浜のほうに降ります。
浜では荷物や貴重品をセキュリティーボックスに入れてくださるなど、きちんと管理してくれます。
ゴザもかしてくれたり、着替えの時間も設けてくださいました。
救命用具もつけていざシュノーケリング。
満潮時のようで、波がありうまく進むことができないときもありましたが、常にガイドさんがついてくださり、海のなかで迷うことなくシュノーケルすることができました。
魚もみることができました。
亀がいそうなスポットのほうまで案内してくれましたが、私たちは波で酔ってしまい、途中で帰ることになりました。
体調を気遣ってくださり、大丈夫な方たちはもう一人のガイドさんとほかのスポットまで連れていってもらっていたので、またリベンジしたいと思います!
写真も撮ってくれて大満足でしたが、酔ってしまったので残念でした。
ただ、体調を気遣ってくれたり、参加者のペースに合わせてくれるので、とてもおすすめのツアーです!
体調に自信のない方は酔い止めなどを持参することを強くおすすめします。
Thank you for joining the tour with Blue Hawaii Divers. Dan and I are certified instructors for Hanauma Bay, so even if the parking lot is full and you can't get in, we can still accommodate you. Additionally, no matter how long the line is for purchasing entry tickets, our tour guests do not have to wait in line. That’s what sets us apart from other tours. I'm sorry to hear that you experienced seasickness this time. I hope next time you can take some motion sickness medication before leaving the hotel, so you can enjoy Hanauma Bay even more. We look forward to seeing you again. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

We participated in snorkeling for the first time with a child who is not a strong swimmer. Thanks to Fumio's thorough explanations at the beginning, we were able to enjoy swimming. Even in shallow areas, we saw tropical fish! The water clarity was impressive, and even though we didn't see any sea turtles, it was more than enough. Fumio diligently searched for sea turtles until the very last moment... There were so many tropical fish, it felt like an aquarium. Fumio knows the best spots for sea turtles through interactions with locals, so it's definitely better than going on your own. I absolutely want to participate in this optional tour again next time. Lastly, I am very satisfied with the many photos you sent! I appreciate the pleasant cleanup as well.

The water temperature was lower than I imagined, and the waves were quite strong, which took a toll on my stamina. I think it would be tough without a veteran guide leading the way. My child (elementary school student) started shivering from the cold, so we both decided to retire early, but my husband was able to see the turtles. Our child loves the ocean and pools and usually doesn't want to get out, so it must have been really tough for them. It was indeed cold and challenging even for adults. The swimming speed was fast, making it hard to keep up. Other children participated as well, but all of them ended up retiring. I think it's better to schedule activities for children or elderly participants during warmer water temperature periods. However, we were able to see many large fish in the ocean, and the transportation and entry process was smooth with no waiting. Those not on the tour had to stand in a long line to buy tickets. I would like to try again during a time when the water temperature is higher.
想像した以上に水温が低く波が強めで、体力を使いました。やはり、ベテランガイドさんに先導してもらわないと厳しいと思います。
子供(小学生)が寒がり震えだしたので、私と2人で途中リタイアでしたが、主人はカメを見ることが出来ました。うちの子は海、プール大好きで、なかなか上がってこないような子なので、よっぽど辛かったようです。確かに大人でも寒くて大変でした。
泳ぐスピードも早くてついていくのも大変です。
子どもはうちの子以外にも参加していましたが、全員リタイアでした。
お子様や年配の方が参加する場合は水温が高い時期にした方が良いかと思います。
しかし、海の中では大きな魚も沢山見られましたし、
送迎から入場までスムーズで待つことも無かったです。ツアー以外の方はチケットを買うのにかなり長い行列に並んでいました。
水温が高い時期に再チャレンジしたいです。

Waikiki was in the rainy season, and on that day, it was pouring rain on and off. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great, but my parents (in their 60s) and my 10-year-old child really enjoyed snorkeling at Hanauma Bay. The water temperature was low and a bit chilly, so we rented suits for $10 on the day. The guide, who also provided transportation, was very kind, and the three of us, being first-time snorkelers, were very pleased with the attentive service. I definitely recommend going with a guide!
I stayed at Hilton Hawaiian Village and mistakenly misunderstood the meeting place until the day of the event, and I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. I was unsure of what to do, so I was grateful to receive a call on the day. I would like to try again when I travel next time, hopefully in clear weather!
ワイキキは雨季か伸びており、当日も土砂降りの雨が降ったり止んだり・・生憎のお天気でしたが、両親(60代)と10歳の子供はハナウマ湾でのシュノーケルをとても楽しめたようです(^^) 水温が低く肌寒かったので、当日10ドルでスーツをお借りして潜りました。送迎兼インストラクターの方がとても親切だったようで、シュノーケル初の3人は丁寧な対応にとても喜んでいました。皆さんにも是非ガイド付きをおススメします‼︎ 当方、ヒルトンHVに宿泊し当日まで集合場所を勘違いしており、大変ご迷惑をお掛けし申し訳ありませんでした。どうしていいかわからなかったので、当日連絡を頂けて助かりました。また渡航の際、快晴の時に再チャレンジしたいと思います‼︎

This was my first time signing up for a snorkeling tour as a beginner. True to its name, we were able to see sea turtles that we would never have encountered on our own and swim alongside them, which got both me and my child really excited. I’m not a strong swimmer and felt scared because of the depth, but Fumio held my hand and guided me, so I was able to enjoy it without any fear.

I participated in the morning of April 6th. The weather in Honolulu was a bit iffy, but it was nice to see clear skies once we arrived. There were only four of us, including my husband and me, so we could swim at a leisurely pace.
The visibility was a bit questionable when the weather turned cloudy, but the colorful fish swimming around made the underwater scenery beautiful! Our guide helped us find a honu, and I was able to swim with one!
It was my first time snorkeling, but our guide, Fumio, was always attentive, which made me feel safe while swimming. I had so much fun that I wished I could swim longer!
There was also a large sea lion napping on the beach! The guide mentioned that you can only see them a few times a year, so we were very lucky. I'm really glad we chose this tour with an expert guide instead of just going on our own or a transfer-only tour!
4/6午前中に参加しました。ホノルルの天気が微妙だったけど現地についたら晴れて良かったです^ ^
参加者は私達夫婦の他にもう一組ご夫婦の4人だけだったのでゆったり泳げました。
透明度はお天気が途中から曇ったりして微妙でしたが色とりどりの魚が泳いでいたりして海の中はとても綺麗!ガイドさんがホヌを探してくれて一頭のホヌと泳ぐ事が出来ました!!
初めてのシュノーケリングでしたがガイドのfumioさんが常に気にかけてくれて安心して泳げました!
もっと泳いでいたいと思うくらい楽しかったです^ ^

はじめてのシュノーケルで、思ったよりも上手く泳げなかったのですが、とても優しく教えて下さり、楽しむ事ができました。
ハナウマ湾もとても素敵で、とても満足しています。
写真もとても綺麗で沢山とっていただいて、日本に帰ってきてからも、よく思い返してみています!ありがとうございました。
Dear Nekotaro, thank you for joining the tour with your partner. I'm very glad to hear that you both enjoyed it. On that day, there were seals napping on the sandy beach at Back Door Lagoon, the sea conditions were great, and we were lucky to see turtles multiple times. I hope you will consider repeating the experience when you come back to Hawaii. You'll be able to swim even more easily the second time around. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
ねこたろう様、この度はお二人でツアーにお越し頂きありがとうございます。とても楽しんでいただけた様で嬉しく思います。この日はバックドアラグーンの砂浜にはアザラシがお昼寝をしていたり、海の状態も良く、亀も何度も見れてとてもラッキーな日でしたね。是非是非またハワイにお越しの際にはリピートしていただければと思います。2度目の時にはもっと楽に泳げますよ。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

We enjoyed the snorkel tour so very much! Our tour guide was Dan and he was very methodical through the whole process of making us comfortable in water and a short lesson for the boys. They had a whale of time snorkeling the Hanauma bay! Thank you!
Hi guys, glad you enjoyed. Hope we see you again. Dan.

This review is more for the Hanauma Bay. Such a beautiful place and all-around outstanding experience. I would definitely recommend a visit even if you don't plan on snorkling. I am grateful to have found this tour to take.

The weather was cloudy with some waves, and the visibility wasn't great, but thanks to Dan and Chieko's excellent guidance, we encountered a honu (sea turtle) twice. We also came across large schools of fish and saw many colorful and rare fish.
Since my older child is 12 and my younger one is 6, they took breaks along the way. When my younger child's glasses slipped and caused a panic, they quickly helped out. My wife, who can't swim because she's afraid of water, was kindly taught how to manage. We encountered the honu again.
We ended up retiring partway through because my younger child got tired, but he seemed satisfied. I would love to do this again if the opportunity arises.
For those considering snorkeling, I highly recommend it. However, it seems there are days when the weather and waves can be challenging, so users need to understand that aspect.
天気は曇りで波も少しあり、透明度は良くなかったけどダンさんとチエコさんの抜群の案内でホヌに2回も遭遇しました°ʚ(*´꒳`*)ɞ°.
魚の大群にも遭遇したり、カラフルな魚や珍しい魚をいっぱい見ましたꉂꉂ(ᵔᗜᵔ*)笑
上の子12歳、下の子が6歳だったので途中で休憩しながら進んでくれました。途中下の子のメガネがズレてパニックになってる時もすぐに対応してくれ、しかもウチの嫁さんはカナヅチで泳げないのに優しく教えていただき。ホヌにも遭遇しました|•'-'•)و✧ 途中でしんどくなり、下の子とリタイヤしましたが本人は満足そうですꉂꉂ(ᵔᗜᵔ*)笑
また機会があればお願いしたいです。
これから、シュノーケルを考えてる方がいるなら、オススメします|•'-'•)و✧
ただし天気や波でどうにもならない日もあるみたいなので、そこだけ利用者も理解は必要です。
Thank you for participating with your family of four. Even in March, the water temperature was still quite cold, and there were some waves, but everyone did their best. It was great that the 6-year-old and your wife were able to see a turtle at the beginning of the tour! We were able to meet a second turtle at Sandman's Patch, so it was worth the effort despite the cold. We look forward to welcoming you all back again. The envelope for the wetsuit fee has also arrived safely.
Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
この度はご家族4名様でご参加いただき、ありがとうございます。3月に入ってもまだまだ水温は冷たく、少し波ありではありましたが、みなさん頑張ってくださいました。ツアーの最初にカメが見れたので6歳のお子様や奥様にもカメを見ていただけて良かったです!サンドマンズパッチでは2匹目のカメに会えましたし、寒いのに頑張った甲斐がありましたね。ぜひまた皆様でお越しいただけますことをお待ちしております。ウェットスーツ代の封筒も無事に届いております。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

Dan was super friendly and informative. We had no trouble getting picked up and into the reserve. He ensured our comfort, safety and overall quelmed the anxieties of a first time snorkeler. He also carried a go pro which meant that my awesome first experience was documented. I’d absolutely recommend it as well as do it again.
Hi Ana, glad you enjoyed. You guys did great, hope we see you again. Dan

I was able to snorkel without any anxiety because they explained the methods and sea conditions in detail in Japanese. I hadn't reserved a diving suit in advance, but they suggested that it could help prevent cold and injuries, so I borrowed one on the day. Even with the suit on, I got quite cold after about an hour of swimming, so I was really glad I could borrow it. I was moved to see not only a variety of fish but also a sea turtle up close. They picked me up from the hotel and dropped me back off, which made for a comfortable experience. They also shared various information about Hawaii during the car ride, which was helpful. Thank you for the valuable experience!
シュノーケリングの方法や海の状態を日本語でひとつひとつ丁寧に説明してもらえたので、不安なく行うことができました。ダイビングスーツを事前に申込んでいませんでしたが、寒さや怪我を防ぐことができると提案していただき、当日急遽お借りしました。スーツを着ても一時間ほど泳ぐとかなり寒くなったので、借りることができて本当によかったと思いました。たくさんの種類の魚だけでなく、ウミガメを間近で見ることができ、感動しました。ホテルでピックアップしてもらい、帰りもホテルまで送っていただけるので、快適でした。車中でもハワイのことを色々と教えてもらい、参考になりました。貴重な体験をありがとうございました!
Thank you for joining the tour with two women. I am very happy to hear that you were able to enjoy snorkeling without any worries. Even in March, the water temperature is still around 21 to 22 degrees Celsius, so I believe you were comfortable wearing the wetsuits. I'm glad you got to meet the cute turtles at Hanauma. Please do consider repeating the tour when you come back to Hawaii. We are always here to welcome you.
Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
この度は女性二人様でツアーにお越し頂き、ありがとうございます。不安なくシュノーケリングを楽しんでいただけたとの事、とても嬉しく思います。3月になってもまだまだ冬の水温で21度から22度くらいですので、ウェットスーツを借りていただけて快適だったかと思います。ハナウマの可愛いカメにも会えて良かったですね。ぜひハワイにまたお越しの際には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!!

The weather wasn't very good on the day we experienced it, and the water temperature was low. We hadn't applied for a wetsuit in advance, but the guide recommended that we rent one on the spot for an additional $10. I'm really glad we borrowed the wetsuits! It was cold, and since we swam in shallow water, if we hadn't had them, I think I would have been shivering from the cold and scraping my knees.
Although the weather was bad and the water clarity was low, we were lucky enough to encounter turtles twice.
The guide spoke fluent Japanese, and I was able to casually ask various questions.
It was a very good experience!
体験した日はあまり天気も良くなく、水温も低かったです。
私たちは、事前にウエットスーツの申し込みをしていなかったのですが、ガイドさんに勧められてプラス10ドルでその場で借りることが出来ました。
ウエットスーツを借りてよかったと思います!!
寒かったし、水面が低いところを泳いだので、もし来てなかったら、寒さに震えながら、膝を擦りむいていたと思います。
天気が悪く水の透明度は低かったですが、ラッキーなことに、2回もカメに遭遇出来ました。
ガイドさんも日本語がペラペラで、気軽に色々きけました。
とても良い経験になりました!!
Thank you, Chikuwa, for coming with your four friends for your high school graduation trip. It was the day with the biggest waves of the winter, and the conditions were quite challenging, but you all did very well. I’m really glad you were able to encounter turtles twice. Please come back to Hawaii again with your four friends when you have the chance. I hope you have a meaningful university life starting in April! Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
ちくわ様、この度は高校の卒業旅行でお友達4名様でお越し頂き、ありがとうございます。この日はこの冬一番の大波の日で、とても大変な状況でしたのに皆さんはとてもお上手でしたよ。2回もカメさんに遭遇できて本当に良かったです。是非また機会がありましたら、また4名様でハワイに遊びに来てくださいね。4月から始まる大学生活を有意義にお過ごし下さい!!本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

I participated in snorkeling on March 2nd. I thought the time might be short during the reservation stage, but I was able to enjoy it fully. I rented a wetsuit just in case, and I'm glad I did because the water was cold. I was also able to see a sea turtle. Thank you, fmio!
3月2日にシュノーケリングに参加しました。
予約の段階では時間が短いかなと思ってたけど充分に楽しむことができました。
念のためにウエットスーツをレンタルしたのですが水が冷たかったのでレンタルして良かったです。ウミガメにも会うことができました。
fmioサン、ありがとうございました。
