We participated as a family of four: my husband, our middle school son, our elementary school son, and myself. This was the afternoon tour on August 14. After researching various tours, we ultimately chose this one. Fortunately, we were the only participants, just our family of four. Our expert guide was Fumio (female). We set off to Hanauma Bay in Fumio's car. Perhaps because it was the afternoon tour or just by chance, there were no entry restrictions and no lines.
First, we attended an orientation session about Hanauma Bay in the hall. After it ended, we signed up, and it seems that if we register, we can skip the line next time (though there may be a deadline). After leaving the venue, we met up with Fumio and walked down the slope to the beach. Along the way, we took a commemorative photo at a scenic spot. The beach had snorkeling sets already prepared, and we learned how to put them on. There was a locked trunk for valuables, so we stored our things there, which was reassuring.
Then we headed into the sea. Instead of the usual saliva method for anti-fogging the masks, we were given a special anti-fog solution, which made our view clear. Fumio held our elementary school child's hand, allowing us to focus on our snorkeling without worry. The waves were quite high, and it would have been daunting to go alone, but we felt safe following her. We not only found plenty of fish but also encountered a sea turtle, which was incredibly exciting. I truly felt that choosing this tour was the right decision.
Once in the water, I was surprised at how cold it felt. As everyone said, it was definitely the right choice to take the afternoon tour instead of the morning one. After getting out of the water, we changed and enjoyed some mineral water and snacks that were provided. I had planned to take the tram back up the hill to the parking lot, but the kids wanted to walk, so I reluctantly followed them. However, it turned out to be quite refreshing, and I didn't sweat at all.
Snorkeling at Hanauma Bay was so much fun. On the way back in the car, we heard various stories from Fumio. She mentioned that currently, there are only two sea turtles in Hanauma Bay. It seems that a popular seal at Waikiki Beach has taken the spotlight. What a surprise... When we arrived at the hotel, we thanked Fumio, and the tour ended. I promised myself that if we come back to Hawaii, I will specifically request Fumio for this tour again. I encourage everyone to have a wonderful time on this tour as well.
夫婦と中学生、小学生の息子の4人で参加しました。8/14の午後のツアーです。いろんなツアーを調べて、最終的にこのツアーにしました。参加者はラッキーにも私たち家族4人のみ。達人ガイドは、フミオさんです(女性です)。フミオさんの運転する車でいざハナウマ湾へ。午後のツアーのせいなのか、たまたまなのか、入場制限などなく、行列もありませんでした。まずはホールでハナウマ湾の説明会。終了後サインしておくと登録され次回はパスできるとの事(期限はあるようですが)。会場を出るとフミオさんと合流し、坂を下って海辺まで。途中、景色の良いところで記念写真をパチリ。浜辺の芝生には、シュノーケルセットがすでに用意されており、装着法を教わります。貴重品は鍵付のトランクがあるのでその中へ収納。安心です。そしていざ海へ。マスクの曇り止めは、よくある唾液を塗りなさいというものではなく、専用の曇り止めをつけてもらい視界爽快。フミオさんが小学生の子供の手を引いてくださるので私たちは安心して自分のシュノーケリングに専念することができました。海は結構波が高く、個人で行くと躊躇しそうなスポットでも、安心してついて行けました。魚の多いスポットはもちろんのこと、念願のウミガメにも出会えて大興奮。心からこのツアーにしてよかったと思いました。海に入っていると思いのほか体が冷えます。皆さんの言うとおり、午前ではなく午後のツアーにして正解でした。海から上がると、着替えたのち、用意されたミネラルウォーターとスナックで一息。駐車場までのぼり坂を帰りはトラムに乗ろうと思っていましたが、子供たちが歩いていくというので仕方なく?ついてゆくことに。でも汗をかくこともなく、思ったより爽快でした。ハナウマ湾のシュノーケリング、あー、楽しかった。帰りの車の中ではフミオさんからいろんなお話を聞きました。現在ハナウマ湾には2匹しかウミガメがいないとの事。ワイキキビーチでは大人気のアザラシ君にやられたそうです。なんということでしょう。。。ホテルに着くと、フミオさんにお礼を言ってツアー終了です。次回もハワイに来たら、フミオさん指定でこのツアーに参加するぞ。。と心に誓うのでした。皆さんもぜひ、このツアーで素晴らしいひと時を。。

I participated with my elementary school children. The older child is learning to swim and was able to swim more and more, pulling me along. The younger child swam while holding hands with the guide. We were able to see beautiful fish, and I was very satisfied.
小学生の子供と参加。上の子供はプールをならっており、どんどん泳ぐことができ子供に引っ張ってもらう感じでした。下の子供はガイドさんが手をつないで泳いでくれました。きれいな魚を見ることが出来大満足です。
Dear Yuu & An, thank you for bringing your whole family this time. It was such a beautiful day, and I believe everyone did a great job swimming from one end to the other. Also, when we were walking back from the ocean, we spotted a turtle, and it was a day when only those who still had energy went back to see the turtle. Next time, I hope the children will also get to see the turtle. If you have the opportunity to come to Hawaii again, please come back with everyone. We are always here to welcome you. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

I don't think we would have seen the turtles if we had just gone snorkeling on our own.
It was definitely thanks to the experience of the veteran instructors who know the spots well.

Thank you, Chieko, for working hard to find the spot with the sea turtles! Mr. Dan took many underwater photos for us, which will be great memories.
It was a very busy schedule with a morning tour and returning home in the afternoon, but I was picked up separately from the other participants and was able to return to the hotel earlier than planned. I really appreciated that consideration.

Dear Ecchan, thank you for participating in the tour with your family of four. Since it was the first time for you to return on an afternoon flight, I was quite nervous until I could safely send you to the hotel. I'm glad you made it in time for your flight. The tide was very low that day, so we couldn't swim over the corals near Keyhole, but we went out from Sandman's Patch and were able to meet a turtle when we returned inside. The turtles really have such cute eyes! You all swam a lot, so I'm sure everyone had a good sleep on the flight back home.
Please do come back to Hawaii and visit Hanauma Bay again. We are always waiting for you. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
えっちゃん様、この度はご家族4名様でツアーにご参加いただきありがとうございます。午後の飛行機で帰国するとの初めてのパターンでしたので、無事にホテルにお送り出来るまでは私もドキドキしました。飛行機に間に合ってよかったです。この日はとても引き潮でキーホール辺りのサンゴの上が泳げなかったので、サンドマンズパッチから沖に出て、最後にインサイドに戻った所で亀さんに会えた日でした。本当に亀さんの目はかわいいですよね!!たくさん泳いでいただきましたので、帰国の飛行機の中では皆さん熟睡されたことでしょう。

They mentioned that the route changes depending on the sea conditions, and that day we encountered a sea turtle right as we entered the water! We were really lucky. I think it would have been difficult to encounter one without a guide.

He even held my hand as I was nervous about swimming, which allowed us to enjoy the experience with peace of mind. We saw many beautiful fish; it felt like a dream, as if we were in an aquarium. We also got to see a honu (sea turtle). I am truly grateful to Kamio for his thoughtful care that eased our worries. I have visited Hawaii many times, but this experience was unlike any other.

As a beginner in snorkeling, I was a bit anxious, but I was taught carefully from the basics, and I was able to enjoy snorkeling very much. Swimming close to the fish in Hanauma Bay felt like I had become one of them. Unfortunately, we couldn't see any turtles, but Fumio-san searched hard for them, and I am very grateful for that.

ワイキキビーチでは魚は見られませんでしたが、ここでは魚がいっぱい ガイドさんがカメも探してくれたっぷり見れました シュノーケルの説明もしっかりしてくれるし、ちゃぷちゃぷしておわりではなくいい意味でハードな感じでした 入り口で並ぶ必要もなくおすすめです

Take the earliest shuttle (6:00 a.m. from your hotel) to avoid beach crowd and avoid the park fee (if you get there before 7:00 -- no additional park fee!).
Driver was courteous, informative and fun. Equipment was in great condition, and you can expand on what you get (which is basics, but enough) for very little cost.
Had about 2.5 hours of snorkeling fun.

This was my second time participating, following last year. The waves were calm and the sea was very beautiful on the day of the event. Under the guidance of Mr. Dan, I was able to see many fish. I was disappointed that I couldn't meet Bob the moray eel this year, but then Ms. Chieko said, "There are turtles." I was thrilled to see a sea turtle underwater! My husband and son got out partway through, but when they realized there were turtles, Ms. Chieko went all the way to the beach to call out, "There are sea turtles!" Their hospitality and guidance were truly amazing. If I can come again next year, I will definitely ask for them! Thank you very much.
昨年に続き、2回目の参加でした。
当日は波も穏やかで海もとても綺麗でした。
ダン先生の誘導のもと、たくさんの魚も見れました。
今年はウツボのボブちゃんに会えず残念・・と思っていたところに、チエコ先生から「亀いるよ」と。海中で海ガメ感激でした❗❗
夫と息子は途中で上がってしまったの ですが、亀がいるのが分かると、チエコ先生はわざわざ、浜まであがり「海ガメいるよ」と声をかけに行ってもくれました。
お二人のホスピタリティ溢れるガイドは本当にサイコー⤴⤴です。
もし、来年も来ることができたら、必ずお願いしようと思います❗
ありがとうございました。
Fuko, thank you for participating with your family for the second time. Your son did even better this year than last year and was very skilled! This was the day we saw the turtle at the end of the second half of the tour. If we had found the turtle a bit earlier, your son and husband could have seen it too... I'm sorry about that. I will do my best to ensure that your whole family can see the turtle and Bob the moray eel next year, so I appreciate your continued support. I look forward to seeing you again. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
ふうこ様、この度はご家族で2回目のご参加ありがとうございます。息子さんも去年よりもっと頑張ってくれてとても上手に出来ていましたよ!この日はツアーの後半の最後に亀を見た日ですね。もう少し早く亀を見つけられたら息子さんや旦那様にも亀を見ていただけたのですが、、、ごめんなさいね。きっと来年こそはご家族皆様で亀やウツボのボブちゃんを見ていただける様、さらに頑張ろうと思っておりますので、今後ともよろしくお願い致します。またお会いできるのを楽しみにしております。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

All the guided snorkeling tours were booked, so we decided to just book the shuttle to Hanauma Bay and do our own snorkeling excursion. It worked out perfectly! The driver arrived at the pick up location on time, was polite and personable, and we didn't have to get up super early to snag a parking spot before the lot filled up. And the snorkeling was great!

I had some anxiety about my first trip to Hawaii. However, I applied here for two reasons: my desire to see sea turtles and the fact that they speak Japanese.
And guess what! I was able to see two sea turtles. I even got to swim right next to them, which was amazing!
初ハワイで不安がありました。
その中でもウミガメに会いたい!という思いと、日本語が話せるという2つの理由より、こちらに申し込みました。
なんと!ウミガメにも2匹会えました。
真横で泳いだりもできて、最高でした!
