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 ハナウマベイ

Reviewed by: ジャパン

The instructor was very helpful, and I had a fulfilling snorkeling experience at Hanauma Bay. I was able to encounter sea turtles, which added to my memories of this trip to Hawaii! If I have the opportunity to go again next time, I would definitely love to experience it once more! (^○^)

インストラクターの方にとても良くしていただき、とても充実したハナウマベイでのシュノーケリングになりました。
ウミガメにも出会うことができ、このハワイ旅行での思い出が増えました!
次回、また行く機会があれば是非もういちど体験したいです!(^○^)

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 cold, but it was fun. 寒かった、けれど楽しかった。

Reviewed by: タカちゃん

We went to Hawaii again as a couple during Silver Week. This time, I wanted to include snorkeling at Hanauma Bay, so I booked this tour. To be honest, I initially applied for the tour "Hanauma Bay with a Certified Veteran Guide," which had many reviews and experiences, but it was not available, so I chose this tour instead. Unfortunately, it rained from the morning. During snorkeling, there was heavy rain and waves, and the sand was stirred up, making it difficult to see the fish clearly. Moreover, the approximately one hour of snorkeling was cold, and I was shivering after getting back on land.

However, I can't go against nature, so I hope to try again on a sunny day next time. I have snorkeled at several places in Honolulu, but when it comes to seeing fish, it can't compare to Guam, Saipan, or Southeast Asia's Cebu and Phuket.

Nonetheless, I think the tour was very good because the guide explained everything earnestly and assisted us well. Another highlight was that we unexpectedly got to see a honu (sea turtle).

シルバーウィークに夫婦でまたハワイに行ってきました。今回は念願のハナウマ湾のシュノーケリングを入れたかったのでこのツアーを予約しました。正直に言いまして、最初は評価も体験談も多い、「公認ベテランガイドといくハナウマ湾」のツアーを申し込みましたがリクエストNGでしたので、このツアーにしました。当時は、あいにく朝から雨。シュノーケリングの時も大雨で波もあり、砂が舞い上がっており、きれいに魚は見えませんでした。しかも約1時間のシュノーケリングは寒く、陸に上がった後は寒さで震えていました。  
でも自然には逆らえないので、今度は晴れた時に再チャレンジできたらと思います。
ホノルルでは何か所かでシュノーケリングしましたが、やはり魚を見るならば、グァム、サイパンや東南アジアのセブ島やプーケットなどには かないませんね。
でもガイドさんが一生懸命説明してアシストしてくださり、ツアーとしてはとてもよかったと思います。
また期待していなかったホヌと会えたのがよかったポイントです。

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>

First experience 初体験

Reviewed by: マハロ

We participated as a family of four (with a 2nd-year middle schooler and a 5th grader). The hotel pick-up was smooth, and we felt reassured that the American husband spoke Japanese without any issues. The two women were snorkeling for the first time, but they were kindly taught and had no problems enjoying it at all! The masks and snorkels were also the latest models and very clean. It was a bit disappointing that we didn't get to see any turtles and that the time at Hanauma Bay felt a bit rushed.

家族4人で参加しました。(中学2年・小学5年)
ホテルからの送迎もスムーズで、アメリカ人のご主人も日本語問題なく安心できました。
女性2人は初シュノーケリングでしたが、親切に教えてもらいまったく問題なく楽しめました!
マスクやシュノーケルも最新できれいでした。
亀に会えなかったのと、少し時間が短くハナウマ湾でばたばた感があったのが残念でした。

Thank you for participating in the tour. I'm sorry we couldn't show you the cute turtles at Hanauma Bay. I will do my best to make sure we can show you the Honu next time, so please come again!

Also, we offer introductory diving experiences at Hanauma Bay. Children aged 12 and older can participate, so if you're interested, I recommend diving with your kids as well!

I look forward to seeing you again. 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。ハナウマベイのかわいいカメをお見せ出来ず、ごめんなさいね。
是非次回こそはHonuをお見せ出来るようがんばりますので、また来てくださいね!
それと私達はハナウマベイでの体験ダイビングもやっています。12歳より参加できますので、もしよかったらお子様と一緒にダイビングもお勧めです!
またお会いできるのを楽しみにしています。ありがとうございました。Mahalo!

It was a tour where I could feel the spirit of hospitality. おもてなしの心遣いが感じられるツアーでした

Reviewed by: Yamada

This is a cozy tour guided by the friendly couple, Dan and Chieko. We participated as a group of five, from my 64-year-old mother-in-law down to our 7-year-old son. There was also another family of four, making a total of nine people on the tour. From the moment we were picked up to the time we were dropped off, we felt their constant care and attention. During the main snorkeling activity, the experienced guides ensured that everyone in the group had a great time, and they especially stayed close to my mother-in-law, allowing her to enjoy snorkeling with peace of mind. Although we didn't encounter any turtles, the hospitality we experienced made this tour feel worth more than the price we paid. I believe that snorkeling can vary depending on the weather and time of day, so you might not see everything you hope for, but I think it's worth participating.

They also manage valuables securely, which is reassuring. As others have mentioned in their experiences, they upload photos taken during the tour to Facebook, so you can get pictures without needing to bring an underwater camera.

Thank you, Dan and Chieko!

 ダンさんちえこさんの仲良し夫婦が案内してくれるアットホームなツアーです。
 上は64歳の妻の母から下は7歳の息子まで5人で参加しました。他には家族4人で参加しているグループと計9人でのツアーでした。迎えの車の中から帰りの送迎の間まで常に私たちに心遣いをしてくれていることが感じられるツアーでした。メインのシュノーケリングではベテランガイドらしくグループのすべての人たちが楽しめるよう気遣っていただき、特に妻の母にはほぼつきっきりでい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。カメに合うことはできませんでしたが、おもてなしの心遣いが感じられることで、値段以上の価値を感じられるツアーです。シュノーケリングは天候や時間帯により見えるものは違うので思ったものが見えない可能性はあると、思いますが参加して損はないと思います。
 貴重品管理もしっかりしていて安心できます。他の人も体験談で書いておられる通り現地で撮った写真をfacebookでアップしてくれるので水中カメラを持参しなくても写真を入手できます。
 ダンさんちえこさんありがとうございました。

Amazing experience! Dan is very funny and nice, a great guide. Everything was perfectly organized, in every detail. Hanauma Bay is truly spectacular, Dan guided us in a long route in the bay.

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>

Meeting a honu would be perfect. ホヌに会えれば満点

Reviewed by: KAMACHAN

My long-awaited visit to Hanauma Bay. We were blessed with beautiful weather, and the sunlight streaming into the water made it incredibly clear. There were so many fish swimming around. All that was left was to encounter a honu (sea turtle), but unfortunately, we missed out on that.

From the hotel pickup, everything went smoothly thanks to Chieko-san's assistance. If we had gone on our own, I think we would have struggled with the entry process, watching the pre-entrance video, and taking the tram. Most importantly, the guide adjusted the course based on the participants' conditions. The hour flew by.

Even with my 50-year-old stamina, I managed to last the hour. For my daughter, who has swimming experience (6th grade), it was a piece of cake. However, the father of the American family accompanying us seemed to lack stamina and got out shortly after we started snorkeling.

After we finished, they provided water and snacks, and I was very grateful for their thoughtful attention. The male guide leading us took many photos for us. It’s okay if you don’t have an underwater camera; you can download the photos later, so you can keep those memories.

 念願であったハナウマ湾。晴天に恵まれ、光の差し込む海中がとてもきれいでした。魚は、これでもかというほどたくさんいます。あとはホヌとの遭遇です。私たちは、運悪くダメでした。
 ホテルのピックアップから、チエコさんのお世話で、段取りよく進みます。個人で行くと、入場のあと、事前のビデオを見たり、トラムに乗ったりと結構手間取っていたと思います。何よりガイドが、参加者の様子を見ながら、コースを決めてくれます。1時間、あっという間でした。
 50歳のおじさん(私)の体力でも、1時間なんとかもちました。スイミング経験者である娘(小6)にとっては楽勝です。ただ、同行のアメリカ人家族のお父さんは体力不足のためか、シュノーケル開始後すぐに上がってしまいました。
 上がった後は、水やおやつを出してくれて、細やかな気配りに、感謝するばかりです。先導する男性ガイドが、何度も写真を撮ってくれました。水中カメラを持っていなくてもOKです。後日、ダウンロードできるので、思い出が残せます。

Hanauma Bay was very beautiful! Dan and Chieko were friendly and easy to talk to, and they provided very thorough explanations for snorkeling! The equipment we borrowed was also clean, which made us feel safe. The fish were colorful and we could see them up close; although we didn't see any turtles, we did get to see a very large moray eel, which was fun! I didn't bring an underwater camera, but I was very happy to receive the photos Dan took from Facebook as a nice service! When I go to Hawaii again, I want to visit Hanauma Bay!

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>

Everything is taken care of. 至れり尽くせり

Reviewed by: のぶひろ

I participated with my sixth-grade son. During the journey from the hotel, the staff member Chieko shared information about Hawaii and engaged us in conversation, creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. Since it was a relatively small group, we were able to maintain a good distance with others and took photos of each other. Once we arrived at Hanauma Bay, we were smoothly guided to the beach without any hassle (it might be quite confusing if you come on your own). They carefully explained how to use the equipment and how to wear the life jackets. On the day we went (August 10), the waves were high, and I felt that wearing a life jacket was essential. Even underwater, they frequently checked in on us, which was reassuring. Unfortunately, we couldn't see any sea turtles, but we were able to see many fish up close, which was very satisfying. I highly recommend this for anyone planning to snorkel in Hawaii, especially beginners. The photos taken underwater can also be viewed online, making for great memories.

小学六年の息子と二人で参加しました。ホテルからの道中では、スタッフのちえこさんがハワイの情報を教えてくださったり、話題をふってくださったりして、和やかな雰囲気で楽しめました。比較的少人数のため、他の方たちともいい距離感でお互いに写真をとりあったりしました。ハナウマ湾に着いてからも段取りよくスムーズに海辺まで案内して頂けました(個人で来ると結構戸惑うかもしれません)。道具の使い方やライフジャケットの着用の仕方も丁寧に教えていただきました。行った日(8月10日)は、波が高くライフジャケットは必須だと感じました。水中でも、度々、声かけをしてくださり安心できました。海がめは残念ながら見ることができませんでしたが、たくさんの魚を間近でみることができ、大変満足できました。ハワイでシュノーケルをする予定の方、初心者の方にはとってもおすすめです。水中でとってもらった写真もネットで見ることができ、よき思い出になりました。

Reviewed by: AKK

Thank you, Chieko and Dan!
It was a reassuring tour with guidance in Japanese.

We had a fun snorkeling experience with a British family, an Indian family, a Japanese family, and our couple.

Unfortunately, on that day, due to low tide, the turtles couldn't come into the bay, so we didn't get to see any sea turtles.

To be honest, my expectation was a bit too high, and I felt like saying, "Hmm, is this it...?"
As for the fish... well, I could see them, but just barely.

However, I am very satisfied to say, "I went snorkeling at Hanauma Bay in Hawaii!" (laughs)

This is something that depends on the tides and conditions.

It had quite an international atmosphere, but I enjoyed the tour with solid guidance in Japanese.

I was fine, but he seemed to experience symptoms like motion sickness while snorkeling. Also, although the weather was great, the water temperature felt unexpectedly low, and it was quite cold.
I recommend that those going take precautions.

Next time, I definitely want to join your diving tour.

I'll be going to Hawaii again!

チエコさん、ダンさん、お世話になりました!
日本語で案内していただけて、安心なツアーでした。

イギリス人親子、インド系ご家族、日本人ご家族、私達カップルのツアーで、楽しくシュノーケリングしました。

この日はあいにく引潮でカメさんが湾に入って来れず、海亀さんには会えませんでした。

期待が大き過ぎた分、「うーん、こんなものか〜…。。。」というのが正直な感想。
お魚も…あ〜見えた見えた、くらいかな?

でも「私、Hawaiiのハナウマ湾でシュノーケリングをしたよ!」ということで大満足です(笑)

こればっかりは潮の満ち引きやら条件がありますものね。

なかなかインターナショナルな雰囲気で、でもしっかり日本語で案内していただき、楽しかったです。

私は平気だったのですが、彼がシュノーケリングで乗り物酔いのような症状になったようです。
あと、すごくお天気は良かったのですが、思いの外水温が低く感じられて、すごく寒かったです。
行かれる方は対策をしていく事をお勧めします。

I had little experience with snorkeling, but once I put on the fins, my worries quickly disappeared.

Hanauma Bay has a lot of fish swimming around, and you can see them up close. I was able to see three sea turtles, which was very moving. Since it had been a while since I swam, I was completely exhausted by the time I returned to the hotel, and I regret not being able to properly thank Dan. I would definitely like to participate again when I go to Hawaii. Thank you, Dan!

Hanauma Bay Veteran Guide Snorkeling Tour ハナウマ湾 ベテランガイド付きシュノーケリングツアー 

Reviewed by: くりこ

In late December, I participated in a snorkeling tour at Hanauma Bay. It was my first time snorkeling, and since my 7-year-old son was with me, I felt like I might have been a bit of a hassle for the instructor, but thanks to them, we were able to enjoy snorkeling. That day, I was suffering from severe jet lag and was incredibly sleepy, so in the end, I didn't join the tour and played in the sand with my child on the beach. I think it's better to go after you've adjusted to the time difference, as it requires quite a bit of physical energy. On the way back on the trolley, I spoke with the person sitting next to me, and they mentioned that around December, if the weather is good, it's not too hot, making it perfect for snorkeling. However, the instructor said that during that time, the weather can be unpredictable, and just last week, they were shivering while getting into the water. We were fortunate to have good weather.

12月下旬、ハナウマ湾シュノーケルツアーに参加しました。シュノーケルも初めてで、7歳の息子も一緒だったため、インストラクターの方には迷惑をお掛けしたかと思いますが、おかげでシュノーケルを楽しむことができました。その日は、時差ボケがひどく、眠くてしょうがなかったため、最後はツアーには行かず、浜で子供と砂遊びをしていました。かなり体力を使うので、到着して時差にも慣れた頃に行ったほうがいいと思います。帰りのトローリーで、となりに座った方と話しましたが、12月ごろは天気が良ければ、暑すぎないのでシュノーケル日和だとのことでした。ただ、その時期は天候に恵まれないこともあって、先週は震えながら水に入っていましたよとインストラクターの方はおしゃってました。天候に恵まれて、良かったです。

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>

Turtle sighting! ウミガメ発見!

Reviewed by: kawa

It's the third day of my stay in Hawaii.
The weather was bad that day, and the sea felt a bit rough. It rained at times, making it a little chilly.
It was disappointing that the water was cloudy with sand and not clear, but I was glad to see sea turtles and vibrant fish that are only found in Hanauma Bay.
The guide took some photos for us! ^_^

ハワイ滞在3日目です。
この日は天候が悪く、海が少し荒れている感じでした。途中で雨が降ったりと、少し寒かったです。
海の中は砂が舞ってクリアに見えなかったのが残念でしたが、ウミガメやハナウマ湾にしかいない魚や色が鮮やかな魚が見られて良かったです。
ガイドさんが写真を撮ってくれました^_^

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>

There are a lot of fish. お魚がたくさん

Reviewed by: のぶりん

As expected from Hanauma Bay, where regulations are well established, the number of fish was incredible. I've snorkeled several times in the beautiful waters of Okinawa, but it doesn't compare. Hanauma Bay is full of colorful fish whose names I don't know, including the Yagara. Unfortunately, I didn't encounter any sea turtles, but it's definitely a place I want to visit again. I hope to go before I get too old. Since I'm not very good at English, I really appreciated the guidance in Japanese. It allowed me to focus on observing the fish with peace of mind.

さすが規制がきちっと整っているハナウマ湾なだけあってお魚の数がはんぱではなかった。
沖縄の海もきれいなので何度かシュノーケルをしましたが、比になりません。
ハナウマ湾は名前のわからないカラフルな魚・ヤガラなどなど、とにかく多いです。残念ながらウミガメに遭遇することはできませんでしたが、是非また行ってみたい場所です。そんなに歳とらないうちに行きたいな。
英語があまり得意ではない私は、日本語での案内がとても良かったです。安心して魚観察に夢中になれました。

Noburin, thank you for joining our tour this time. When you come to Hawaii again, I hope we can be together at Hanauma Bay, and this time I would love to show you some cute sea turtles. I look forward to seeing you again.

のぶりんさん、この度は私達のツアーにご参加いただき、ありがとうございます。
またハワイにお越しの際にはハナウマ湾でご一緒させていただき、今度こそは可愛い海亀をお見せ出来ればなあと思っています。またお会いできるのを楽しみにしています。

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>

The expert is on summer vacation... 達人はサマーバケーション中で・・・

Reviewed by: Sigg

Unfortunately, the expert was on summer vacation, and other individuals (mainly scuba diving instructors) took over. On the day of the tour, the low tide caused the coral to be exposed above the water's surface. We were able to see some fish, but we did not observe any sea turtles. I appreciated the thorough explanations and attentiveness throughout the experience.

By the way, thanks to this tour, we were able to enter in an instant, but if you try to line up normally, it can be quite a hassle. Even if you don't choose this option, I think it's better to go with a tour.

残念ながら達人はサマーバケーション中で別の方々(主にスクーバダイビングのインストラクター)が担当してくださいました。
当日は干潮のせいで、サンゴが海面から出てしまうほどでした。
魚はいくらかは確認できましたが、ウミガメは観察できませんでした。
終始丁寧な説明と気配りをしていただけて良かったと思います。

ちなみに入場まではこのツアーのおかげで一瞬で入れましたが、普通に並ぼうとすると大変なことになりますので、これを選ばないにしてもツアーで行った方が良いかと思います。

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

Amazing views...like a postcard!

Reviewed by: Katie Morales

We loved snorkeling at Hanauma Bay! We could see fish all around us in waist-deep water, and even though it was busy, there was plenty of space to have our own experience. The food in the snack bar was good (although a little pricey), and I liked that we could rent life jackets and stoppers for our snorkels from the company once we got there. Just make sure you bring extra money for the entrance fee, tram (it saves a lot of uphill walking), equipment rental, and food. You can also bring food on the beach, so pack some snacks and water to save some cash.

Hanauma Bay Snorkel Tour with Expert Guide & Waikiki Transportation

Amazing

Reviewed by: Jen

Our snorkel guide Dan was amazing. I can't swim and he was able to take me out to the deep! He was very patient. My boyfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed his tour of hanauma bay, it was definitely a highlight of our trip and even fulfilled one of my bucket list things to do. I will never forget the experience and recommend it highly. Also a huge bonus is Dan takes underwater pics of you snorkeling and post them up on his Facebook - free of charge!
