Hanauma Bay Snorkeling

Reviewed by: winston

This is a must do thing to do when visiting Hawaii especially if you want to see Hawaii's state fish. Dan and Chieko were great .

Only sad thing is that we wanted to stay longer but unable to.

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 enjoyed the ocean in Hawaii. ハワイの海を楽しみました。

Reviewed by: こんぶ

Since it was my first time, I thought there would be many things I would be confused about regarding the entry procedures and access methods, so I applied for this. The pickup was on time, and the instructor was very kind. Also, even though I thought I understood snorkeling, I was taught the basics properly, so I learned a lot of new things.

The fish weren't as abundant as in the Maldives or the remote islands of Okinawa, but I was still able to see many fish, and it was enjoyable. Thank you very much.

初めてなので、入場の手続きやアクセス方法など戸惑うことも多いかと思い、こちらに申し込みました。お迎えも時間通りでしたし、インストラクターの方はとても親切でした。また、分かっていると思っていたシュノーケルもキチンと基本から教えて頂けたので、色んなことが目からウロコでした。
お魚はモルジブや沖縄の離島ほどは群れていませんが、それでもたくさんのお魚を見る事ができて、楽しかったです。ありがとうございました。

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング 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 had a great experience. 良い体験が出来ました。

Reviewed by: マミー

In April, we participated as a couple with our middle school and elementary school grandchildren. It was our first time at the beach in 30 years. The grandchildren were a bit anxious since they are not great swimmers, but it turned out to be fine for beginners. Unfortunately, we didn't see any sea turtles, but there were plenty of beautiful fish swimming close by, and we even spotted some rare ones. The instructor was incredibly kind and went out of their way to help us look for sea turtles, showing great consideration throughout. In the end, we had to come ashore because the grandchildren got seasick, but before we knew it, over two hours had passed. This was our first overseas trip with the grandchildren, and I wanted them to have at least one experience, and they said it was the most fun they had. I don't think we would have participated if it were just the two of us, but if we can come back to Hawaii, we will definitely go to see the sea turtles next time. Thank you very much.

4月に中学生と小学生の孫を連れて夫婦で参加しました。
私たちは30年振りの海。
孫たちも泳ぎは苦手なので若干の不安を抱えながらの参加でしたが初心者でも大丈夫でした。
残念ながら海がめには会えませんでしたが手が届く所に綺麗な魚の群れが一杯いて珍しい魚も見れました。
インストラクターの方が本当に親切で途中海がめを探しに行って下さったり色々気配りをして頂きました。
最後に孫が波に酔ったので陸に上がりましたが気が付けば2時間以上たっていました。
今回は初めて孫たちと一緒の海外旅行なので何か1つ体験をして欲しいと思って参加しましたが一番楽しかったと行って貰えました。
私たちも夫婦だけなら参加する事も無かったと思いますがまたハワイに来れるなら次は海がめに会いに行きます。
本当に有難うございました。

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>

Private use! 貸切状態!

Reviewed by: ちょむ

The date and time we booked happened to be just for us, so we felt like we really got a great deal with a private guide! During the drive, we received a lot of information about food in Hawaii, and once we arrived at Hanauma Bay, the guide provided detailed explanations. I also learned the correct way to snorkel, which was a great educational experience since I had been doing it my own way until now.

Unfortunately, due to strong waves on the day of our visit, we couldn't reach the point where sea turtles are usually found, but I had a lot of fun seeing fish I had never seen before and the beautiful underwater scenery filled with coral reefs.

As a side note, while we were talking in the car about a restaurant we wanted to visit the next day without a reservation, the guide even arranged a reservation for us, which was very touching!

Aside from not seeing the turtles, I was very satisfied!

申し込んだ日時が偶然にも私たちだけでガイドさん貸切状態でとっても得した気分!!
移動中の車内でもハワイの食情報をたくさん教えて頂いたり、ハナウマ湾についてからも丁寧な説明と今まで自己流でやっていたシュノーケリング方法も正しいやり方を教わり勉強にもなりました。
残念ながら当日は波が強く高確率で海ガメのいるポイントまで行けずに見ることができませんでしたが、今まで見たことのない魚や一面リーフの広がる水中景色を見ることができてとても楽しかったです。
余談ですが、行きの車の中で翌日行きたいと思っていたレストランの話しをしていて「予約してないけど大丈夫だよね、きっと」なんて話していたら予約の手配までして下さりとても感動しました!

カメが見れなかった以外は大満足です!

Such a great experience! I'm not a strong swimmer, but the guides went the perfect pace for people of all strengths. They start by teaching you how to use the snorkel equipment, then you follow one of the guides around to see all the reefs and the fish. It was fun, easy and the perfect addition to a trip on Oahu!

Reviewed by: Hina

I was a bit anxious about participating alone, but since it was a small group and the guide paid attention to each person and provided support, I was able to enjoy the experience comfortably until the end. Swimming with the turtles, which I had longed to do, was the best memory.

一人参加で不安もありましたが、少人数かつガイドさんがちゃんとひとりひとり見てくれていてフォローしてくれるので最後まで安心して楽しむことが出来ました。念願の亀と泳げたのは最高の思い出です。

What a great snorkeling experience!! Although we had snorkeled before (quite a few years ago), my husband was not able to complete the adventure even though Chieko tried to pull the 2 of us around. So, my husband went back to land and Chieko pulled me around (I just had to relax and enjoy). We saw so many & beautiful fish. I would definitely recommend this tour.

An emotional experience! 感動の体験!

Reviewed by: Aloooha

It was my first time snorkeling, and the instructions were very thorough, allowing me to get used to it quickly! In the clear sea, I was able to see many fish, making it an incredible experience. During the transfer, the guide shared insights about the town, making for a fulfilling tour. While some people swam without renting a wetsuit, I found it warm and it provided extra buoyancy, so for someone like me who wasn't confident in swimming, it was the right choice to rent one.

初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、丁寧に説明してくださり、すぐに慣れることができました!透き通った海ではたくさんの魚を見ることが出来、感動的な体験となりました。送迎中も街並みを見ながらガイドしていただき、充実したツアーでした。ウェットスーツは借りずに泳がれている方ももちろんいましたが、温かく、浮力も増すため、泳ぎに自信が無かった私は、借りて正解でした。

Reply from activity provider

Thank you for joining the tour with Blue Hawaii Divers. Having a wetsuit makes snorkeling incredibly easy for customers who are not confident in swimming! I always wear one to prevent sunburn as well. Please come back for another tour when you visit Hawaii again. We look forward to seeing you again. Thank you. 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。ウェットスーツがあると泳ぎに自信のないお客様にはシュノーケルがものすごく楽チンになりますね!私も日焼け防止も兼ねて、いつも着ています。是非またハワイにお越しの際にはツアーに来てくださいね。またお会いできるのをお待ちしております。

Money Well Spent

Reviewed by: Salvador E.

As most of you know, things to do on the island of Oahu can be pricey at times. If you want to see your money stretch and to get more that you bargained for, take this trip. Dan picked us up right at our hotel and drove us to Hanauma Bay. His equipment was easy to use, very accommodating and the adventure itself was awesome. I could go on and on about how great of a time that my wife and I had but words could never do it justice. From my experience, I would say to give this a shot. Lest we forget one minor detail, I live in Anaheim, CA near Huntington Beach aka Surf City USA, and I have never been more comfortable in the ocean than I was on this snorkeling trip. It really was that awesome.

Wonderful sea 素晴らしい海

Reviewed by: からままちゃん

I previously participated in a beginner diving experience at Hanauma Bay through Veltra, and this time I wanted to go snorkeling with my daughter. At first, my daughter suggested going without a guide, but I chose to go with an expert guide, hoping they would take us to areas where we could see many fish and even out to deeper waters that we wouldn't have been able to reach on our own. It was definitely the right choice. I think we wouldn't have seen any turtles or many fish without the guide. The guide was very kind, and I felt safe while snorkeling. Thank you very much. I plan to ask Veltra for help again when I go to Hawaii.

前にベルトラさんで
ハナウマ湾の体験ダイビングに参加、今回は娘と2人でシュノーケルがしたいということで最初ガイドさんなしでもと娘が言っていたけど私が1人ではどんなところに魚がたくさんいてまた、自分達では行けない沖の方までも連れて行ってもらえるのを期待して達人ガイドさん付きのものを選んで大正解。
自分たちでは亀も見られなかっただろうし、沢山の魚も見られなかっただろうと思いました。
ガイドさんも大変親切で安心してシュノーケルが出来ました。ありがとうございました。またハワイに行ったらベルトラさんにお願いしようと思います。

It was an experience where I could feel the growth of my child! 子供の成長も感じられた体験になりました!

Reviewed by: ともこ

The couple who are instructors worked together seamlessly. First, they took photos after we arrived at Hanauma Bay, and then we chose our fins. We rented wetsuits to prevent scratches from the coral and because the seawater was cold, which turned out to be a great decision! Thanks to this, both my child and I were able to enjoy snorkeling comfortably. I absolutely recommend it for sunburn prevention as well.

Before entering the water, they explained how to use the mask and snorkel in a very easy-to-understand way, and after we got in, they taught us how to move, which allowed my 6-year-old son to enjoy himself without any issues. They also took many underwater photos, creating wonderful memories for us!

After swimming, they prepared snacks and water for us, and we were grateful for it as we were craving hydration and salt! I would love to participate again when we visit Hawaii! Thank you very much!

ご夫婦でインストラクターをされているとのことで、息のあったお二人が担当して下さいました。
まずハナウマ湾に到着してから写真を撮ってくださり、その後足ヒレを選びました。
海水が冷たいこと、珊瑚での擦り傷防止にウエットスーツをレンタルしましたが、これは大正解でした!
このお陰で親子共々快適にシュノーケリング出来たと思います。
日焼け防止の為にも絶対にオススメです。
水に入る前に、とても分かりやすくマスクとシュノーケルの使い方を説明していただき、水に入ってからも動き方を教えてくださったお陰で、6歳の息子も問題なく楽しむことができました。
また水中写真も沢山撮ってくださって、とても素敵な想い出になりました♪
泳ぎ終わったあと、スナックとお水を用意してくださっていて、水分&塩分を欲していた私たちはありがたくいただきました!
またハワイに行ったらぜひ参加させていただきたいです(^^)

Thank you for bringing your whole family this time. On that afternoon trip, out of the 10 guests, 4 were children (under 10 years old), so I explained things in simpler terms than usual and extended the practice a bit. All the kids did their best and swam together with their buddies until the end. They were really great! Please do come back when you're in Hawaii again. I look forward to seeing you all again!! Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

この度はご家族皆様で来ていただき、ありがとうございます。この日の午後便はお客様10名中4人がお子様(10歳以下)と言う日でしたので、いつもより簡単な言葉で説明させていただき、練習もちょっと長めにさせていただきました。どの子も皆さん頑張ってくれて、ちゃんとバディ同士で最後まで泳いでくれましたね。本当に上手でしたよ。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。またお会いできるのを楽しみに待っております!!

Absolutely Fabulous Experience

Reviewed by: LATOYAYE

This was our first experience with snorkeling...but I was convinced that we could not go to Oahu and not see the ocean life for ourselves. Dan and Cheiko were great.

We paid for a group of 5 (3 adult, 2 children). We had to pay the full price to have my grandmother brought along, even though she was not participating. With that said it was suppose to be just our small group to the two guides. This was especially important to me as the two children could swim and the adults in our group could NOT swim well. It turned out two others joined us, so Chieko was mostly their guide and Dan was with the four of us. It was raining that day, so my grandmother was not able to come observe (so paid and not used). Although I was not expecting a refund for her experience necessarily, I was a little put off that we were then charged extra for the optional wet suits to keep us warm (given the weather that day). That really is the only thing I would improve, but given the nature of the business, that may be challenging.

Otherwise, it was FANTASTIC! Dan was amazingly patient and made the experience great. The children, although swimmers, panicked with the snorkel equipment and sea animals. The adult limited swimmers had a blast! Even on a dreary, rainy day. LOL! they took awesome pictures that we were easily able to download from their social media page, so one less thing to worry about doing especially given first time out. I would definitely recommend this experience no matter what skill level, it will not disappoint.

Reviewed by: supia

I used the service in July 2016. Hanauma Bay was as beautiful as rumored, and the guide was friendly, with solid safety measures in place, making me feel secure and allowing me to relax and enjoy snorkeling. The life jackets were also comfortable to wear. Personally, I appreciated that many photos were taken, which was great, but I later realized that the system was to download the ones uploaded to Facebook, and since I didn't want to be featured, that was a bit unpleasant. Overall, I had a very good experience using the service.

2016年7月に利用させていただきました。ハナウマ灣は噂どおり美しく、ガイドの方はフレンドリー、安全対策もしっかりとしていて頼りがいがあり、リラックスしてシュノーケリングを楽しむことができました。ライフジャケットがつけ心地のよいものなのもよかったです。個人的な感覚ですが、写真をたくさん撮ってくださり、それはとてもよかったのですが、Facebookにアップしたものをダウンロードして受け取るシステムだったことをあとから理解したので、載りたくなかったので、それは少し嫌でした。総合的には利用してとてもよかったです。

Thank you for participating in our tour. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed it. However, I apologize for the issue regarding the photos on Facebook. Since few customers bring underwater cameras, we started this service to provide photos for everyone, and we use Facebook as a simple way to share them. Sometimes, there are guests who prefer not to have their photos taken, and we try to be careful not to include them, but it seems that I did not explain this well that day. I should have clarified it at the beginning, and I am truly sorry for any discomfort it caused.

Please don’t let this discourage you, and we sincerely hope to see you again on our tour when you visit Hawaii. Thank you very much. Mahalo!

この度は私たちのツアーにご参加いただき、ありがとうございます。ツアーを楽しんでいただけたとの事、嬉しく思います。ですが、Facebookでのお写真の件は申し訳ありませんでした。水中カメラを持ってくるお客様が少ないので皆様のためにお写真をと思い始めたサービスで、簡単にお写真を見ていただく方法として私たちはファイスブックを利用させていただいております。時々お写真は撮ってほしくないととおっしゃる方がいらっしゃいますので、そんな時はその方が写らないように気をつけてはいるのですが、きっとその日は私の説明不足だったのですね。最初に説明しておけばよかったのですが、嫌な思いをさせてしまい、本当にごめんなさいね。
これに懲りず、ぜひまたハワイにお越しの際にはツアーでお会いできます事を心よりお待ちしております。ありがとうございました。Mahalo!

It was fun even in the rain! 雨でも楽しかった!

Reviewed by: パパさん

It was rainy and chilly on the day of our visit. Although we would get wet in the ocean anyway, it was disappointing that the temperature was low. However, since we had made our reservation months in advance, we couldn't predict the weather.

We were picked up by our driver and female diver, F. This morning, it was just my wife and me, so we had F all to ourselves. Lucky us! The car ride was filled with enjoyable conversations about life in Hawaii and our children. Before we knew it, we arrived at Hanauma Bay.

After watching a video, we headed to the beach. F had already prepared everything. Since it was cold, she provided a wetsuit and a prescription mask for my nearsightedness. Additionally, she had a large lockable box ready for us, allowing us to safely store our clothes and belongings. Especially since it was a cold rain, it was a relief that our dry clothes didn't get wet. Thank you!

After practicing snorkeling while wading up to our waists, we began snorkeling. Once we started swimming, the rain didn't bother me at all, and moving around kept me warm. Although it was raining, there were no waves, so we were excited to venture out further!

At one point, my wife's leg cramped, possibly due to her unfamiliarity with snorkeling. However, F promptly took care of her, which was a great help. After that, F held my wife's hand and guided her while swimming. It would have been difficult for me alone. I was grateful to have F with us. Thank you!

F spotted a sea turtle out in the ocean, and we were amazed to see a baby sea turtle. It swam leisurely behind us for a while. F informed her fellow Japanese guide, and everyone gathered together. It was heartwarming to see the spirit of helping each other to make the tour better.

The underwater world was calm, filled with beautiful fish of various colors swimming in schools, resembling a stunning underwater palace. This was all thanks to F, who accurately guided us to where the fish were. I am grateful.

Benefits of this tour:
- The guidance in Japanese made everything easy to understand.
- F provided wetsuits and masks as needed.
- We could safely leave our clothes and belongings.
- F guided us to places where we could encounter fish and sea turtles, increasing our chances of sightings compared to going alone.
- Even those unfamiliar with snorkeling received care, making it reassuring.

It was a very enjoyable tour. Thank you, F! I hope to visit Hanauma Bay on a sunny day next time!

当日は雨、しかも肌寒い。どうせ海に入れば濡れるのだが、気温が低いのが残念。しかし、数か月前に予約しているのだから、天気まで読めない。
ホテルに迎えに来て頂く。運転手兼女性ダイバーのFさん。今日の午前中は我々夫婦のみ。Fさんを貸切状態。ラッキー!車中はハワイでの暮らしや子供の話で楽しい時間。あっという間にハナウマ湾に着く。
我々はビデオを見てからビーチへ。先に着いたFさんが準備万端。寒いのでウェットと近視の私の為に度付きのマスクを用意してくれる。また、大きな鍵のかかるボックスを用意してくれていて、着替えや手荷物を安心してしまっておけました。特に、寒い雨だったので、乾いた着替えが濡れなかったのは助かりました。ありがとうございます。
腰までつかってシュノーケリングの練習をしてから、シュノーケリング開始。泳ぎだすと雨はもちろん気にならないし、身体を動かすので私は寒くなくなる。今日は、雨だが波がないので沖まで出られるとのことで楽しみ!ワクワク!
途中、慣れないシュノーケリングの為か?家内の脚が攣る。しかし、Fさんが的確に処置してくださり助かる。その後はFさんが家内の手を引いて泳いで案内してくれる。私一人では大変でした。Fさんが居てくださって助かりました。ありがとうございます。
沖でウミガメをFさんが発見。子供の生ウミガメに感動する。しばらく、後ろをのんびりと泳ぐ。Fさんが仲間の日本人ガイドさんに教えてあげて、皆が集合する。助け合ってより良いツアーにしようとする気持ちが嬉しい。
海の中は穏やかで、様々な色の綺麗な魚が群れになっていて、綺麗な竜宮城のようでした。これも魚のいる場所に正確に案内してくれたFさんのお蔭です。感謝。
このツアーのメリット
○日本語で案内して頂けるのでよく分かります。
○ウェットやマスクなども適宜、用意してくださいます。
○着替え、手荷物を安心して置いておけます。
○魚やウミガメの遭遇出来る場所に案内してくれるので、個人で行くよりも遭遇できる確率が高くなると思います。
○シュノーケリングに慣れていない方でもケアしてもらえるので安心です。
とっても、楽しいツアーでした。Fさん、ありがとう!今度は晴れたハナウマ湾に行きたいです!

The Japanese staff were friendly, and I had a very smooth experience. Hanauma Bay is mysteriously beautiful! I was lucky to encounter a sea turtle by chance.

Thank you for participating in the tour. I'm very glad to hear that you were able to experience the beautiful Hanauma Bay. On that day, we started swimming from Back Door Lagoon, swam through Keyhole, and continued through the shallows, and finally saw a turtle when we passed by Sandman's Patch Lagoon. It was great to see the sea turtle up close! Please do come back again. We are always waiting for you. 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。とても綺麗なハナウマ湾を体験していただけたようで、とても嬉しく思います。この日はバックドアラグーンから泳ぎ始めて、キーホール、そして浅瀬をずーっと泳ぎ、最後にサンドマンズパッチラグーンの通った時に亀を見た日でしたね。近くでウミガメを見れて良かったですね!!ぜひまたリピートしてください。いつでもお待ちしております。ありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

Hanuma Bay - Snorkeling

Great service. You normally have to get to Bay early. Parking is very limited. We overslept. We were able to make reservation and catch shuttle to Bay. They did all possible to fit us in with 2 -3 hours notice. There are 4 pickups a day in Waikiki. They have all gear you need on the shuttle or you can bring your own. Beautiful place

Fantastic snorkle tour!

Reviewed by: Stephen

Dan and Chienko were amazing! We went out into the bay at three levels of experience, my wife who had never snorkeled is now hooked! The photos taken were great, the tour lasted just the right amount of time, and these cousins were super awesome to talk to and chill with.

It's my most enjoyable memory. 楽しい一番の思い出です

Reviewed by: mannaka

It's been about a month since I returned from Hawaii, and it has become my best memory. The instructor and the couple in my group were very friendly and it was a lot of fun! I encountered fish, turtles, and eels, and I even got some beautiful photos taken! The downloaded photos turned out really well, and I've been showing them off to everyone since I got back. If I have the chance, I would definitely like to participate again, and I would recommend it to everyone. Thank you for everything!

ハワイから帰ってきて約1ケ月経ちましたが、一番の思い出になっています。
インストラクターの方も、一緒のグループのご夫妻もとても気さくで楽しかったです!魚も亀にもウツボにも出会え、しかも綺麗な写真も撮っていただきました!
ダウンロードした写真は本当に綺麗に撮れており、帰ってからみんなに見せて自慢しています。
また機会あれば是非参加したいと思いますし、皆さんにおすすめしたいです。
いろいろありがとうございました!

Thank you for participating in the Blue Hawaii Divers tour the other day! I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed it. The turtle we saw at Keyhole was spotted by the husband of the newlyweds who joined us that day, right? The large white mouth moray eel was beautiful as well. I'm happy to hear you liked the photos! Please do join us again when you come back to Hawaii. Next time, I hope to take you out beyond the white waves.
Thank you. Mahalo!!

先日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した!!とても楽しんでいただけたようで、私も嬉しく思います。キーホールで見れた亀さんはその日にご一緒に参加されていた新婚さんの旦那様がたしか亀を見つけてくれた日でしたね。大きなホワイトマウスモオレイ(ウツボ)もきれいでした。お写真も喜んでいただけて良かったです!!ぜひまたハワイにお越しの際にはリピートしてくださいね。この次は白波を超えて沖の方までご案内できればと思っています。
ありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

A lot of tropical fish! いっぱいの熱帯魚!

Reviewed by: H. Furuta

I participated on December 8th. December in Hawaii is the rainy season, and it was rainy from the morning. If the weather had been better, the ocean would have looked clearer, but with the bad weather, the ocean was indeed dim. However, it was great to see many tropical fish and sea turtles.

12月8日に参加しました。ハワイの12月は雨季、朝から雨模様でした。天気が良ければもっと海の中は綺麗に見えたのでしょうが、やはり天気が悪いと海の中も薄暗く…。でも、多くの熱帯魚とウミガメと会えたのは良かった。

Thank you for participating in the tour. Hawaii is now in winter, and it has been particularly rainy lately. Unfortunately, we instructors cannot change the weather... However, on this day, the waves were calm, and the visibility and sea conditions were excellent, allowing us to swim out to the outer area. We headed out from the keyhole and immediately encountered a large school of surgeonfish, a rare sighting of a school of bigeye trevally, and we were able to see two turtles, which I thought would bring you joy, so I feel a bit disappointed. Please come back to Hanauma Bay on a sunny day next time. I hope your wife can join us instead of just observing next time! Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

この度はツアーにご参加いただきましてありがとうございます。ハワイも今は冬になり、最近は特に雨が多くなっています。お天気ばかりは私達インストラクターでも変えることはできないです、、、。でもこの日は波が無くて透明度も海のコンディションも最高に良く、アウトサイドの沖の方まで泳ぐことができた日です。キーホールから沖に向かい、すぐに巨大なシマハギの群れ、めったに見られないビッグアイジャック(ギンガメアジ)の群れ、そして亀は2匹も見ることが出来て、喜んでいただけたかと思っていましたので、ちょっと残念です。ぜひまたお天気の良い時にハナウマ湾に来てくださいね。次回はぜひ奥様も見学では無く、ご一緒にご参加下さいね!!
ありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
