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>

My first time in Hawaii was amazing! 初めてのハワイ、最高でした!

Reviewed by: きのこ

My first time in Hawaii, and thanks to the support of our guide, all five of us were able to enjoy snorkeling, especially my friend who was trying it for the first time. We were able to see sea turtles twice, which I believe was thanks to our guide's assistance. The comfort of being able to speak in Japanese and the information about local shops that we received were also great. If I ever go to Hawaii again, I would love to request the guide again.

Hanauma Bay was filled with cats, almost like a cat island, which was perfect for me as a cat lover.

初めてのハワイ、シュノーケリング初体験の友人にずっとサポートしてくださり5人全員で楽しむ事が出来ました。ウミガメに2度も会うことが出来たのも、ガイドさんに案内していただいたからこそだと思います。日本語で話せる安心感、教えていただいた現地のお店の情報も良かったです。ハワイに行くことがあったら、またガイドをお願いしたいです。
ハナウマ湾が、まるで猫の島みたいに猫ちゃんだらけだったのも、猫好きな私には最高でした。

Sea turtle ウミガメ

Reviewed by: みなみ

I experienced this on December 4th. The guide was incredibly nice. It had been raining in Hawaii for a long time, and finally, it cleared up on this day. We were told that it was cold and the chances of seeing a sea turtle were low, so my family and I had given up on that idea, thinking it would be fine just to see various fish. However, miraculously, we were able to encounter one sea turtle! It was truly wonderful. Overall, I was very satisfied because the guide was such a great person!

12月4日に体験しました。
とーっても感じの良いガイドさんでした。
ハワイはずーっと雨が降って居て、この日にやっと晴れてくれました。寒いしウミガメに会える確率は低いよー。と言われ、いろんなお魚に出会えるだけでいっか。なんて家族で断念していましたが、奇跡的に1匹だけ出会うことができました。
ほんとうに、素敵でした。
とにかくガイドさんがとても良い方だったので大満足でした!

Thank you for joining the Blue Hawaii Divers tour. It was great to meet the cute sea turtles at Hanauma Bay, wasn't it?

Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

Definitely 5 star service and experience

Reviewed by: Kirsten P

I chose this tour after reading the other reviews and we were definitely not disappointed. The good reviews are all true. Dan is very experienced and friendly. He is very patient and kind with beginners and answered all our questions. The hour long snorkel is definitely enough time. This is a excellent tour for both beginners and experienced snorkelers. We saw so a huge variety of fish and the whole experience met and exceeded our expectations. Thank you Dan for a great day. We recommend you and your company without any hesitation.

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>

I encountered a turtle for the first time in Hawaii! 初ハワイで亀に出会えました!

Reviewed by: chiii

I searched for a snorkeling tour where I could see turtles and chose one. I was half-expecting to encounter turtles, but I actually did! It was truly a wonderful memory.

I can't swim at all, but I've experienced snorkeling with a life jacket about ten times both domestically and internationally. They taught me how to wear the mask very carefully, and the equipment was really clean. The mask didn't fog up at all during the experience, which was comfortable!

When they told me to swim from one end to the other, I honestly wondered what I should do, but I managed to swim all the way across thanks to the supportive instructor and the lovely fish.

For the first time, I panicked when I couldn't breathe and ended up swallowing a lot of seawater when I tried to take a breath. That fear lingered for a while, but I was able to enjoy myself, so I was very satisfied.

Even in the morning, the beach gets crowded, and the number of people snorkeling increases, so by the second half, I felt like there was a lot of sand stirring in the water, which made visibility a bit worse.

I highly recommend this for those who want to try snorkeling for the first time or enjoy it safely overseas, as they are very attentive. I definitely want to use their services again when I go to Hawaii next time.

亀が見れるシュノーケルツアーを探して選びました。亀に出会えるかな?期待半分でしたが亀に出会えました。ホントにいい思い出です。
わたしは全く泳げないですが、ライフジャケットを着用してのシュノーケルは国内外で10回ほど経験あります。
マスクのつけかたなど本当にとても丁寧に教えていただけて、道具もとても綺麗でした。マスクも途中で曇るなんてこともなく快適!
ここを端から端まで泳ぐのよ〜と言われたときは正直どうしようかと思いましたが、見事に泳ぎきりました。
サポート上手な先生とすてきなお魚のおかげです。
今回初めて、息が吸えず、次吸ったときには海水を大量に飲んでしまいパニックになりました。その恐怖感からその後は不安も消えませんでしたが、無事に楽しむことができたのでとても満足です。
午前中利用でも、ビーチにはどんどん人も溢れ、シュノーケルされてる人数も増えるので
後半には、海のなかも砂がたくさん舞っていて少し視界が悪くなるような気がします。
初めてのシュノーケルや、海外でも安心して楽しみたい方にはとっても丁寧なのでおすすめです!
次回ハワイに行くときも必ずお世話になりたいです。

Dear Chiii, thank you for participating in the Blue Hawaii Divers tour. You mentioned that you couldn't swim at all, but you did very well! Despite some unexpected events, you persevered until the end. It was great that you got to see the turtles too! Depending on the sea conditions that day, we sometimes swim further out, so please join us again when you come back to Hawaii. We might be able to show you a different world. We are always here waiting for you. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

Chiiiさま、この度はブルーハワイダイバースのツアーにご参加いただき、ありがとうございます。全く泳げないとのことでしたが、とても上手でしたよ。ハプニングがあったものの、最後まで頑張ってくれましたね。亀にも会えて良かったですね!!その日の海のコンディションによっては沖の方まで泳いだりもしますので、是非またハワイにお越しの際にツアーに来てくださいね。また違った世界をお見せできるかもしれません。いつでもお待ちしております。

The weather was great that day, and the waves were calm, allowing us to have a wonderful snorkeling experience. They guided us to spots that we wouldn't have been able to reach on our own, making it a fantastic tour to join! The two guides took many photos for us, and thanks to them, we were able to capture beautiful memories with the sea turtles.

I was able to see a sea turtle! ウミガメを見ることができました!

Reviewed by: みかみ

I was glad that I could enter without waiting in line, and that I was taken to a spot where sea turtles are present despite the rough waves. If I had come on my own, waiting in line would have drained a lot of my energy, and searching for sea turtles would have been quite difficult.

Additionally, during the return shuttle, I was able to hear information about sea turtles in another location from the instructor. That day, sea turtles actually appeared at that spot, and I was able to swim with them! Thank you very much.

窓口に並ばずにエントリーできる上に、波の荒い中ウミガメが居るポイントまで連れて行って頂けて良かったです。自力で来ていたら窓口に並ぶことで大分体力を奪われてしまうし、ウミガメを探すのも大変だと思います。
更に帰りの送迎の中でインストラクターさんから別の場所のウミガメ情報を聞くことができました。そしてその日に本当にその場所にウミガメが出て一緒に泳ぐことができました!ありがとうございました。

Women in their 50s. 50代前後の女性

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

During the break in our company trip schedule, five women in their 40s and 50s participated. After watching a video about environmental awareness, we were mindful of our impact on fish and coral as we headed to the sea. With guidance from Dan and Chieko, we felt very safe and enjoyed snorkeling. Some of our group hadn't been in the ocean for years, but with the wetsuits we borrowed in advance, we swam close to the rocky areas without feeling anxious, allowing us to relax and enjoy swimming. We even encountered two turtles! We left the sea feeling very satisfied. Thank you for accommodating those who wanted to stop by Diamond Head along the way. While we were anxious about how President Trump's visit would affect our schedule, you provided various advice, and everyone was able to return safely to the hotel. Thank you for everything.

Thank you for joining the tour with Blue Hawaii Divers. It coincided with President Trump's visit to Hawaii and his stop in Waikiki, which led to traffic restrictions and made for a challenging day. I'm glad you were able to return safely from Diamond Head to Waikiki. It seems everyone enjoyed snorkeling, which makes me really happy. The two turtles were a lucky sighting! We would be delighted if you all could join us again on another tour when you visit Hawaii. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

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

Amazing excursion!

Reviewed by: Husbands from Nevada

This excursion was our first snorkeling excursion in the Pacific Ocean, and it was our first excursion during our trip to O'ahu. The whole experience was outstanding. Veltra called us the day before to confirm the reservation and advise us where to meet the van and when. The driver from Kaimana Tours arrived within the allowed time period, and he was courteous and informative. He told us exactly what to expect when we arrived--including paying the $7.50 park admission fee (per person) completing the conservation education presentation (10-15 minutes, tops), and meeting him afterward (where and when). He passed around a chart of the types of sea life we would see in the bay. The view was breath-taking. The beach was beautiful. The staff were helpful and friendly. The snorkeling was great. Lifeguards were attentive--even using amplified sound at one point to caution some poor swimmers that they needed to move closer to the beach. Afterward, the driver met us when and where he had told us, and we were all on our way back to our hotels.

Even beginners can enjoy it. 初心者でも楽しめました

Reviewed by: とちぎ

I was a little anxious about whether I could properly dive during my first snorkeling experience, but on the day of the event, I couldn't contain my excitement in front of the great outdoors and the ocean! The weather was a bit chilly with occasional light rain in the morning, so I was really glad I requested a wetsuit!

I personally think it's important to get used to the seawater, especially since I wasn't familiar with it. We practiced with a lecture and learned to put our faces in the water and dive in shallow areas, which allowed us to swim with schools of fish and enjoy snorkeling until the end! There was a little mishap where I lost my wedding ring underwater, and I regretted not taking it off before participating! I apologize for causing concern to the guide! The guide was very reliable and kind, quickly addressing anyone who wasn't feeling well. I would love to participate again when I come back to Hawaii!

初のシュノーケリングで、きちんと潜れるかちょっとだけ不安がありましたが…参加当日、大自然と海を目の前にするとワクワクがとまりません♪天気は朝から時折、少しだけ雨がパラつき、肌寒さを感じたのでウェットスーツ希望してとっても良かった!
まずは海水に慣れることが大切だなぁと、海水に不慣れな私は個人的に思います。レクチャーと水面に顔をつける事潜ることを浅瀬で練習させてもらえ、魚の群れと泳げたり最後までシュノーケリングを楽しむことが出来ました♪途中、結婚指輪を水中でなくすハプニングがあり外してから参加するんだったぁーと反省!ガイドさんにはご心配をおかけしてしまいました!気分の優れない方がいたらすぐに対処してくれたり大変頼もしい、優しいガイドさんでした。また、ハワイに来たら参加したいと思います♪

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>

Very satisfied!! 大満足!!

Reviewed by: なみぷーる

We participated as a family of three, including our 5-year-old child. Although our child attends swimming school, this was their first time swimming in the ocean. Given the saltwater and waves, I was a bit anxious about whether they would manage with the snorkeling gear, but with their strong desire to "swim with turtles," we decided to go for it and signed up.

Despite my worries, our child was full of energy and excitement! There were two guides for our group of three families, totaling nine people. We started with a video about the formation of Hanauma Bay, the creatures that inhabit it, and the rules for enjoying the bay. Although it was in English, the visuals made it easy for children to understand, and there was a multilingual audio guide available.

After that, the guides carefully explained how to put on the gear, making it especially easy for the children to understand. They demonstrated how to breathe and what to do if water got into the goggles. The guides stayed at the front and back of our group, leading us to spots where we could see schools of fish and areas where the honu (sea turtles) live. We were able to encounter the honu at quite a close distance! Both adults and children were thrilled!

The honu moved gracefully through the water, occasionally surfacing to breathe, showing us their adorable appearance. After about an hour of snorkeling, even adults felt tired, but our child, despite it being their first time, managed to keep going without complaining! By the time we reached the beach, they exclaimed, "I'm tired!" and "I can't do it anymore!" but with the guides' support, they completed the experience beautifully.

Afterward, we rested on the beach with some snacks (which were delicious) and hydrated before being taken back to our hotel. We were blessed with great weather and knowledgeable guides who knew Hanauma Bay inside and out, making for a very satisfying snorkeling experience.

If you're worried about whether you can bring a preschooler (ages 5-6), don't worry! It's a lot of fun. Even if your child wants to come out early, the guides are there with you, so it's reassuring.

5歳のこどもを含む親子3人で参加しました。
子供はスイミングスクールに通っているものの、海で泳ぐのは初めて。
塩水&波がある海ですし、シュノーケル用具を装着して、果たしてうまくできるのか・・・些か不安があったのですが、「カメと泳ぎたい!」という本人の強い思いもあり、思い切っても申込ました。
親の心配をよそに、子供はイケイケゴーゴー♪な様子。
私たち家族を含めて3組9人のグループにガイドさんが2人ついてくださいました。
始めにビデオでハナウマ湾の成り立ちから、生息する生物、湾での過ごし方やルールについて学習します。英語ですが、映像でこどもも理解できるような内容で、多言語の音声ガイドもあります。
そのあと、ガイドさんが用具の装着について、丁寧に教えてくれ、こどもにはよりわかりやすく、呼吸の仕方やゴーグルに水が入った時の対処方法などを説明してくれました。
グループの先頭と最後尾にガイドさんが付いてくださり、魚の群れがいるスポット、ホヌ(ウミガメ)が生息しているスポットへと案内してくれ、かなりの至近距離でホヌに遭遇できました!!これには大人も子供も大はしゃぎ!
ホヌは私たちにかまわず、ゆったりと水中を移動したり、時折海面に出て呼吸したりと、とってもかわいらしい姿を見せてくれました。
約1時間のシュノーケリングで大人でも疲れるのですが、こどもは初めてにもかかわらず最後まで弱音を吐かず、やり遂げることができました!!さすがに浜辺にあがるころには「疲れたー」「もう無理ー」と言って、ガイドさんにサポートしていただきながら見事完走しました。
そのあとは、浜辺で水分補給とスナック菓子(これがまた美味しい)をいただきながら、からだを休め、ホテルへと送り届けていただきました。
良い天気とハナウマ湾を知り尽くしたガイドさんに恵まれ、大満足のシュノーケリングでした。
未就学児(5-6歳)連れでできるかどうか心配な方、大丈夫ですよ!!とっても楽しいです。
もしお子さんが途中で上がりたくなっても、ガイドさんが一緒なので、安心です。

I participated with my 5-year-old granddaughter, who only has experience in swimming pools. I was a bit worried about snorkeling, but after a thorough briefing, my granddaughter was thrilled to see a variety of colorful fish and turtles eating, as well as experiencing the sensation of swimming alongside them! Thank you so much for taking care of her the entire time until she got cold and we returned to shore. I regret not borrowing a wetsuit. I have previously experienced both scuba diving and snorkeling at Hanauma Bay, but this was the first time I saw turtles up close. It's truly a unique experience that only an expert who knows Hanauma Bay so well can provide. My granddaughter, looking satisfied, said, "I want to go again!" I'm really glad we participated.

プールの経験しかない5才の孫娘と2人での参加でした。
シュノーケルはどうかなと心配もありましたが丁寧なレクチャーの後に、
色とりどりのたくさんの魚、そして亀がエサを食べている様子や水面に顔を出したり亀と一緒に泳いでいるかのような体験に孫は大興奮!
途中で孫が寒くなり岸に戻るまでずっと付きっきりで面倒を見ていただき本当にありがとうございました。
ウエットスーツを借りていればと後悔しています。
私はハナウマ湾で以前スキューバもシュノーケリングも体験していますが今回ほど亀を間近に見たのは初めてでした。

I was really looking forward to this snorkeling during my trip to Hawaii. However, once I got into the water, I became scared of the waves and felt weak. After just a few minutes, I declared that I would wait on the beach, but they kindly taught me and I was able to enjoy snorkeling safely. Throughout the snorkeling, they held my hand, and I can't find words other than gratitude.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to see any turtles, but I'll save that for next time. When I go back to Hawaii, I definitely want to do this again.

今回のハワイ旅行は、このシュノーケリングを一番楽しみにしていました。
でも、いざ海に入ると波が怖くて途端に弱気に…。
開始数分で、ビーチで待ってますと宣言したところ、丁寧に教えてくださり、なんとか無事シュノーケリングを楽しむことができました。
シュノーケリングの最中はずっと手を握っててくださり、感謝以外の言葉が見つかりません。

残念ながら亀を見ることはできませんでしたが、それは次回の楽しみにとっておきます。

I was able to swim with sea turtles! ウミガメと泳げました!

Reviewed by: とくめい

Unfortunately, the waves were strong and the water was murky, so I couldn't see the fish very clearly. However, the guide found a sea turtle towards the end, and I was able to swim with it for quite a long time.

As expected from a master guide, it seems there's a high probability of encountering sea turtles. I've heard that people from other tour companies also follow that guide.

Additionally, I had a reservation mistake just before the trip and had to cancel, but the staff at Veltra responded quickly via email, and I was able to successfully change my schedule and participate in the tour.

Next time I come to Hawaii, I would like to make a reservation through this site again.

あいにく波が強くて水が濁っている日だったので、あまりはっきりと魚は見えなかったのですが、ガイドさんが最後の方でウミガメを見つけてくれて、結構長い時間ウミガメと一緒に泳ぐことができました。

達人ガイドというだけあって、かなりの高確率でウミガメに会えるようです。他のツアー会社の人もそのガイドさんの後をつけてくるのだとか。

また、今回、直前に予約ミスしてキャンセルしないといけない状況になったのですが、veltraのスタッフの方がメールで迅速に対応してくれて、無事に日程を変更してツアーに参加することができました。

次にハワイ来るときも、このサイト経由で予約したいと思います。

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 was fun! 楽しかったです!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Although the weather was unfortunate, thanks to Dan and Chieko, I was able to meet the sea turtles I had always wanted to see and had the best time! They also recommended a restaurant, which was very delicious. Thank you so much!

あいにくの天気だったのですが、ダンさんチエコさんのおかげで念願だったウミガメにも会え最高の時間を過ごすことができました!オススメのレストランも教えてくださって、とっても美味しかったです♡ありがとうございました!

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>

I finally got to see a turtle! 念願の亀さん見られました!

Reviewed by: カンイナ

Two years ago, I went to Hanauma Bay on a different guided tour, but my 4-year-old daughter was unhappy, and we didn't get to see any turtles, so this time we made a comeback! The guides took great care of my daughter, and we were able to enjoy snorkeling with peace of mind! We also got to see turtles, which was amazing! I highly recommend it!

二年前にハナウマ湾へ別のガイドツアーで行きましたが、4歳だった娘は嫌がり、亀さんも見られず残念だったので、今回リベンジしました!娘のこともしっかりフォローしてくださり、安心してシュノーケリングを楽しむことができました!亀さんも見られて、最高でした!オススメです!!

Dear Kanina, thank you for participating in the tour with your family. Your 6-year-old daughter did an amazing job and was able to see the turtles. It's wonderful to see your child's growth! The revenge tour was a great success. Please do come back to Hawaii with your family again. We look forward to seeing you again. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

カンイナ様、この度はファミリーでツアーにご参加いただきありがとうございます。6歳の娘さんはとっても頑張ってくれて、ちゃんと亀さんも見ることができました。お子様の成長はすごいですね!リベンジは大成功でした。是非またハワイにお越しの際にはご家族皆様でリピートしてくださいね。またお会いできますことを楽しみに待っています。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I had a very luxurious time! You can dive individually, but I think it's much more enjoyable and reassuring to join a tour with a guide like Chieko. I got to see colorful fish and even met two turtles. It's great to receive photos later since it's not easy to take pictures while you're in the water.

とても贅沢な時間を過ごせました!
個人でも潜ることが出来ますが、ツアーに参加してチエコさんのガイドがあった方が安心で、何倍も楽しめると思います。色とりどりのお魚たちと、カメにも2匹会えました。海に入っている時の写真は普段なかなか撮れないので、後から写真を頂けるのも嬉しいです。

Thank you for participating in the tour. On this day, there was a last-minute cancellation from another customer who was supposed to join, so it turned into a private snorkeling experience for you. The sea conditions were good, the water was clear, and most importantly, you had the turtles all to yourself, making you a truly lucky customer. That’s wonderful!! Please do join us again for a tour when you come back to Hawaii. Thank you very much. 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。この日はご一緒するはずだったお客様の当日キャンセルがあり、お一人様貸切スノーケリングでしたね。海の状態も良く水も綺麗でしたし、何より亀さんも独り占めツアーとなり、本当に幸運なお客様でした。良かったですね!!是非またハワイにお越しの際にはツアーにリピートしてください。本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

Small Group Snorkel Tour with Personal Guide at Hanauma Bay [Open Soon]

Awesome!!!!

Reviewed by: Marie

This tour exceeded our expectations, Dan & his wife were amazing tour guides! They were patient especially since I had never snorkeled before & made sure we were comfortable before letting us venture on our own. Best part was that we got to swim with a sea turtle which was icing on the cake. There are a lot of tours out there advertising the same thing but I would highly recommend to book this tour you will be glad you did!

On the last day of our honeymoon, we booked a snorkeling trip at Hanauma Bay, which we were most looking forward to. It was absolutely amazing! We were able to spend a truly happy time meeting lots of fish and sea turtles. Chieko-sensei's kind and attentive guidance was also very good. Thank you so much! Next, I want to try diving!

新婚旅行最終日に、最も楽しみにしていたハナウマ湾でのシュノーケリングを申し込みました。結果、とても最高!でした! たくさんのおさかなさんたち、ウミガメに会えて心から幸せな時間を過ごすことができました。ちえこ先生の親切丁寧なガイドも大変良かったです。本当にありがとうございました。次はダイビングがしたーい!

Thank you for joining the tour together. I'm truly glad to hear that you both enjoyed it. It was quite lucky that you had a private tour with no other guests! The visibility was great during the morning due to the low tide, and you were able to see various types of fish, octopus, Bob the moray eel, and even a large barracuda. It was also lucky that you got to swim alongside the turtles for a long time. Please make sure to join us for the experience diving at Blue Hawaii Divers next time.

Lastly, I wish you both continued happiness together forever! Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

この度はお二人でツアーに来ていただきまして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本当に嬉しく思います。とてもラッキーなことに他のお客様がいない貸切ツアーでしたね!この日の午前は引き潮でしたので透明度も良く、いろんな種類のお魚や、たこ、レディフィッシュ、ウツボのボブちゃん、大きなカスミアジも見ていただきました。それと亀さんとはずーっと一緒に泳げてこれまたラッキーでしたね。是非次回はブルーハワイダイバースの体験ダイビングにもいらしてくださいね。
最後に、これからもお二人仲良く、いつまでもお幸せでありますように!!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>

I was able to meet Kame-chan. 亀ちゃんに会えました

Reviewed by: めがね竜吉

I was picked up from the hotel, and since the tickets were prepared, I was able to enter smoothly. The guide also took photos for us.

Regarding the bay tour, it might be challenging if the waves are strong when going from the shallow areas to the deeper parts. The guide seemed to know the best points to navigate through, and we smoothly reached the deeper areas. As we progressed around the bay, the guide taught us the names of various fish and mentioned that there were several spots where we could find turtles. We were able to spot a turtle at one point, and I was delighted to see the cute sea turtle. After coming back from the sea, we enjoyed some snacks and juice before returning to the entrance to conclude the tour.

This applies to all beach tours, but it's best to go with minimal luggage. This time, they did keep our valuables (in a locked box), but that luggage would be left on the beach.

ホテルから送迎していただきチケットも用意されていたのですんなり入場できました。写真撮影もガイドさんがしてくれました。
湾の案内ですが浅瀬から深いところに出て行く時に波が強いと大変かもしれません。ガイドさんはうまく切り抜けるポイントを知っているのかすんなりと深いところに出られました。色々な魚の名前を教えてくれながら湾を一周するように進み亀のいるスポットもいくつかあるようで探しながら進んでくれました。一つのポイントで亀を見つけることができ可愛いウミガメを見ることができ嬉しかったです。海から上がりスナック菓子とジュースをいただき、入り口に戻り終了しました。
浜に行くツアー全般に言えることですが荷物は最小限で行けるといいですね。今回は貴重品を預かってくれはしましたが(鍵付きのボックス)その荷物は浜に置きっぱなしになるので。

Thank you for your support. お世話になりました

Reviewed by: あらら

At 67 years old, I thought this might be my last chance, so I decided to participate with a "Let's do it!" I was confident in my swimming skills, but it was my first time wearing a life vest, and I struggled to maintain my balance. I didn't want to be a burden to the seven others accompanying me, so I offered to quit. However, instructor Chieko held my hand and assured me, "It's okay!"

With two experienced instructors, Chieko and Dan, looking after the eight participants, I felt at ease and enjoyed a tour across Hanauma Bay for about an hour, feeling like a fish. The colorful fish were truly beautiful, and I was lucky to encounter a turtle as well.

Thank you, Chieko and Dan!

67歳にして、人生最後の機会かもと「エイヤッ!」と参加しました。
泳ぎには自信があったのですが、ライフベストを着たのが初めてでバランスがうまく取れず、同行の7人の方々の足手まといになってはいけないと「辞めます」と申し出たところ、インストラクターのちえこさんが「大丈夫!」と手をつないで泳いでくれました。
参加8人にちえこさんとダンさんの二人のベテランインストラクターが付いているので安心して1時間ほど、お魚になった気分でハナウマ湾を横断するツアーを楽しめました。色とりどりの魚、本当にきれいでしたよ。亀に出会えたのもラッキーでした。
ちえこさん、ダンさん、ありがとうございました。

Dear Arara, thank you for joining our tour. You seemed a bit anxious, but since you were able to breathe properly, I thought it would be a shame to stop there, so I held your hand and guided you. I was also happy that you persevered until the end. It was great that you got to see the turtles too! Please don't hesitate to visit us again when you come back to Hawaii; we would love to see you again. We are always here waiting for you. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

あらら様、この度は私達のツアーにお越し頂き、ありがとうございます。あらら様がちょっと不安そうには見えましたが、呼吸はちゃんと出来ていましたのであそこで辞めてしまうのはもったいないと思い、手をつないでお連れ致しました。最後まで頑張ってくださって私も嬉しかったです。亀さんにも会えてよかったですね!!是非またハワイにお越しの際には最後の機会と言わず、私達に会いに来てくださいね。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!!

Snorkeling for the first time in 20 years. 20年ぶりのシュノーケリング

Reviewed by: ひまわり

It was my first snorkeling experience at Hanauma Bay in 20 years. The clarity of the water and the number of fish have definitely decreased. I couldn't help but compare it to the ocean from the past, which was disappointing. However, I think it would be an impressive tour for first-time snorkelers. The pickup was on time, and they were very kind, providing recommendations for local shops and more.

20年ぶりのハナウマ湾でのシュノーケリングでした。
やはり海の透明度と魚の数は落ちてました。
昔の海にどうしても比べてしまい残念でした。
シュノーケリングが初めてであれば感動するツアーだとは思います。
迎えの時間どおりで、現地のお勧めのお店を教え下さったりと色々と親切にして頂いけました。

Dear Himawari, thank you very much for joining the tour. The snorkeling must have been really beautiful 20 years ago! This time, due to the high tide, it unfortunately turned out a bit whitish, and I apologize for that. If you have the chance again, please aim to visit Hanauma Bay during low tide. The visibility is significantly better then!

Thank you once again. I look forward to seeing you again. Mahalo!!

ひまわり様、この度はツアーにお越しいただきましてありがとうございます。きっと20年前のシュノーケリングはとっても綺麗だったんですね!今回は満ち潮でしたので、どうしてもちょっと白っぽくなってしまい、ごめんなさいね。是非また機会がありましたら、引き潮時を狙ってハナウマ湾にいらしてください。引き潮の時の方が透明度はグンと上がりますよ!!
本当にありがとうございました。またお会いできるのをお待ちしております。Mahalo!!
