Hanauma Bay Introductory Scuba Diving Lesson with Expert Guide [Open Soon]

Highly recommend it!

Reviewed by: Andy

I had my scuba dive with Dan and it definitely exceeded my expectations. I was rather nervous about it, but he was very patient and allowed me to take my time getting accustomed to the breathing and teaching me all the basic safety procedures. The dive itself was great, saw lots of fish and a sea turtle as well. Would highly recommend this for anyone that is doing their first dive!

First snorkeling experience. 初のシュノーケリング

Reviewed by: とくさん

We participated as a family of four. It was our first experience with snorkeling, but with the guidance of Allen, who speaks Japanese quite well and has a slightly shy demeanor, we smoothly entered the water. We encountered many fish and even a small sea turtle, which left us very satisfied. Hanauma Bay is amazing. Expert guide Allen is the best.

Snorkeling with a friendly guide. 親切なガイドさんとシュノーケリング

Reviewed by: juniper

The guide was fluent in Japanese, so anyone can participate with confidence. They kindly taught us how to snorkel in detail, which was very helpful. It's great that you can ask questions whenever you don't understand something. Hanauma Bay is rich in fish, and you can encounter a wide variety of them, making it feel like you're swimming in an aquarium. I was surprised that the fish didn't flee even when people were around, as it is a no-fishing zone.

This is a highly recommended tour where you can fully enjoy snorkeling!!!

I hope the coral will recover soon and that Hanauma Bay will return to its original beauty.

ガイドさんは日本語が達者なので誰でも安心して参加できます。シュノーケルのやり方を丁寧に教えてくれてとても親切でした。わからないことはすぐに聞けるのが良いです。ハナウマ湾は魚影が濃く
多種多様な魚に出会うことができ、まるで水族館の中で泳いでいるかのよう。
漁業禁止地区とのことで、人を見ても逃げない魚たちにビックリ。

シュノーケリングを存分に楽しめる、お勧めのツアーです！！！

サンゴが蘇り、早く元の美しいハナウマ湾に戻ると良いなと思いました。

Reviewed by: カナエ

It was my first experience with snorkeling, so I was a bit anxious, but Alan was very friendly and taught me patiently, allowing me to swim with peace of mind! I think I'm going to get hooked on snorkeling!

The reason I deducted one star is that I didn't get to see a sea turtle (T_T). I was really hoping to swim with a sea turtle, so that was disappointing. I hope to see one next time I participate, so I'm giving it four stars!

However, I saw plenty of fish and even an octopus, so overall, I was satisfied! It was an hour that flew by in the beautiful sea. I wish I could have stayed longer!

When I go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to sign up for this tour! It truly became a wonderful memory! Thank you very much!

We were also provided with drinking water and snacks.
Dan brought an underwater digital camera, and he uploaded the photos he took to Facebook that night.

During this honeymoon trip to Hawaii, I booked and experienced various optional tours in advance. However, honestly, many of the tours booked through travel agencies were disappointing.
Among them, the only tour I booked myself, the "Hanauma Bay Snorkeling," was extremely satisfying.
I truly realized what a veteran guide's tour should be like.
Even regarding tipping, which is not customary in Japan, I often hesitated in other tours and restaurants, but I was happy to tip Dan.
It was a truly moving tour.

Encounter with a turtle. カメに遭遇

Reviewed by: 初ハワイ

Since it was a weekday, there were only two groups with four participants. They adjusted to the pace of the participants, allowing us to enjoy the beautiful sea without any pressure. At the beginning, they provided a brief introduction to the basics of snorkeling, which made it reassuring for complete beginners.

Our guide, Alan, was friendly and also understood Japanese, making communication easier in case of any issues, which added to our sense of safety (although there were no incidents at all, it was comforting just in case).

I participated in the morning session, and although it rained just before we arrived, it cleared up by the time we got there. The waves were calm, and we were able to observe various types of fish slowly. Along the way, we were fortunate enough to spot two turtles, which I thought was very lucky.

平日参加だったためか、2組4名の少人数でした。参加者のペースに合わせて回ってくれるので、無理なく綺麗な海を楽しめました。はじめに簡単にシュノーケリングの基礎を教えてもらえるので、全くの初心者でも安心です。
ガイドのアランさんは気さくな上に日本語も分かる方なので、いざという時に意思の疎通が測りやすいと思われ、安全面でも安心感がありました。(ハプニング等は全くありませんでしたが、万が一のため)
午前の会に参加し、直前に雨が降りましたが、到着時には晴れました。波も穏やかで、
いろいろな種類の魚をゆっくり観察できました。途中には2匹もカメの姿を見かけることができ、とても幸運だったと思います。

It was a wonderful tour worthy of the name of a master. 達人の名にふさわしい、素晴らしいツアーでした。

Reviewed by: 松田　梨絵子

In a word, it was a wonderful tour that truly lived up to the name of a master. I participated with three young couples, plus myself, who is over 60, and we strolled through Hanauma Bay hand in hand with Master Alan. At the end, a Japanese female staff member took up the rear to watch over everyone, so there was no need to feel scared.

It's a world of difference from the time I splashed around snorkeling in shallow waters over 20 years ago. But being able to go out this far is thanks to being with a master, and we encountered turtles twice. Previously, when I participated in a tour of the "Heavenly Sea," I had the chance to snorkel, but there are definitely more fish in Hanauma Bay than in Kaneohe. Kaneohe is more about enjoying the scenery! I want to cherish such a rich sea forever.

I brought shoes and glasses, but they were completely unnecessary. It turned out to be a burden to carry them. If I have another opportunity to come to Hawaii, I would love to join Alan's snorkeling tour again. I thought Alan would be younger, but he turned out to be of the same generation. Perhaps his hobby turned into his job. I wonder if he is also a professional photographer? He took so many wonderful photos.

I thought the price was reasonable as well. Plus, the master took many photos, so there was no need to bring a camera, allowing us to fully enjoy watching the fish. If you have a good time, it's definitely nice to give a tip as a token of gratitude.♡

　一言、達人の名にふさわしい、素晴らしいツアーでした。
若い恋人同士で参加した3組プラス60過ぎの私なのですが、二人一組で手をつないで達人アランさんについてハナウマ湾を散策です。また最後は日本人の女性スタッフがしんがりを務め皆さんを見守ってくれますので、怖がることもなさそうです。
20数年前足の着く岩場でポチャポチャとシュノーケルしたのとは大違いです。
でもこんな沖まで出れるのも達人と一緒だからこそ、2回も亀と遭遇できたのです。
以前、天国の海ツアーに参加したとき、シュノーケリングをする機会があったのですが、
カネオハの海よりハナウマ湾のほうが断然魚の数が多いです。
カネオハは景色を楽しむとこかしら！こんな豊かな海はいつまでも大事にしたいものです。
シューズやグラスまで用意してきたけど全く必要ないですね。荷物になるので持ってくる必要はなかったです。
またハワイにくる機会があればこのアランさんのシュノーケリングツアー参加したいともおもいます。
アランさんはもっと若い人かと思っていたら同世代でした。たぶん趣味が高じてお仕事になったのですね。彼はプロのカメラマンでもあるのかしら？素晴らしい写真が沢山です。
お値段もリーズナブルだとおもいました。それに達人が沢山の写真も撮ってくれますので、カメラ持参の必要もないですので、思いっきり魚をみて楽しめること請け合いです。
楽しめたら感謝の気持ちを込めたチップは渡すべきですね♡

Hanauma Bay Snorkel Tour with Expert Guide & Waikiki Transportation

Great Snorkeling day!

Reviewed by: Lolly H

We LOVED this day! Dan & his wife were great! They took very good care of us, even making sure that those of us with cameras got a chance to take pictures of the beautiful fish (and the 2 sea turtles we saw). They provided us with cold water and snacks after our swim, which were much appreciated. I love that Dan took many pictures of us all with his camera, and posted them to Facebook for us to see &/or download later. My husband and I are both over 60, and I think they were a little concerned whether we could handle the swimming. But they stayed nearby and checked often whether we were OK (we were!) Most of our group was Japanese, with My husband & I the only "anglos". Dan was amazing at switching from Japanese to English and back, making sure that none of us felt left out of the conversation. We would definitely recommend this activity for anyone!

I had a great time. 十分、楽しめました

Reviewed by: TAKESHI

I was honestly a bit anxious since it was overseas and had fewer reviews compared to other tours. We waited on the first floor of the hotel for our pickup, wondering if they would really come. However, they arrived almost on time and were friendly from the start. There were three groups of foreign tourists, and they made sure to engage with everyone equally, which was wonderful.

I saw reviews mentioning that valuables could be stored, and I thought they would be kept in the car, but instead, they were stored in a lockbox on the beach. Also, I was instructed to wear my swimsuit beforehand, so I participated in just my swimsuit from the beginning. However, being in the water for a long time can get cold, so changing clothes is definitely necessary.

While there were some minor shortcomings in the guidance, both Dan, the husband, and Chie, the wife, were very nice people, making it a tour you can enjoy with peace of mind. I think it's recommended. Even if the weather is bad or we didn't see any sea turtles, that's just nature, so it's to be expected.

海外の、しかも他のツアーに比べて口コミも少なかったところだったので正直不安でした。ホテルの1階で待機してピックアップしてもらう形でしたので、本当に来るのかなぁ…と。
ですが、ほぼ定刻通りに迎えに来てくれて、尚且つ最初から気さくに話してくれ、外国人観光客と一緒の3組だったのですがちゃんと全員にバランスよく話し掛けてくれる気の遣える素晴らしい方です。
貴重品が預けられるという口コミを見ましたが、てっきり車の中に保管するのかと思っていたら砂浜に鍵の掛かる箱に保管をしました。
あとは、事前に水着を着用しとくように指示があったので最初から水着だけで参加したのですが、ずっと水に入っていると寒くなるので、やはり着替えは必要ですね。
若干案内不足なところは否めませんが、旦那さんのダンさんと奥様のチエさん共に非常に良い人で、安心して楽しめるツアーですのでオススメだと思います。
天気が悪いとか、海ガメにあえなかったとか言ってもそれは自然が相手なのですから当然のことだと思います。

It was an OP that I could participate in with peace of mind. 安心して参加できるOPでした

Reviewed by: おけいはん1109

First of all, I was moved by the beauty of Hanauma Bay, just as I had seen in photos. My daughter was a bit nervous since it was her first time snorkeling, but the three of us, including Alan, held hands almost the entire time and before we knew it, we had drifted quite far out. Although we didn't see any honu (sea turtles), we were thrilled to see many fish. I am 49 years old and usually swim in a pool, but towards the end, I started to feel a bit tired and wondered, "How much longer do we have to swim?" I expressed that I wanted to go back, and Alan said, "It's time to head back anyway." Once we returned, we took a break with some water and snacks, but I would have appreciated a little free time if possible! It was a bittersweet farewell to Hanauma Bay. I was grateful to be able to take the tram back up the hill. Lastly, I want to thank Alan for helping me swim so much and for taking so many photos that I would never have been able to capture on my own.

先ずは写真で見ていたハナウマ湾そのままの美しさに感動でした。娘は初めてのシュノーケリングでやや緊張気味でしたが私とアランさんと３人ほとんどずっと手をつないで気が付けばかなり沖へと来ていました。ホヌには会えませんでしたが沢山の魚を見れて感動でした。私は（49歳）普段プールで泳いでいますが流石に最後の方は少し疲れて「いつまで泳ぎ続けるんだ？」とやや不安になり「戻りたい」と告げた時には「もう時間だから戻るよ」と・・。戻ったら水とスナックで一休みして終了でしたが、出来れば少し自由時間が有れば嬉しかったかな？！名残惜しいハナウマ湾でした。帰りの登り坂もトラムに乗れたので有難かったです。最後に、個人では決してあんなに泳げなかったし写真も沢山撮って下さったアランさんに感謝です。

I couldn't forget the excitement from two years ago, so I participated in the tour for the second time. It was the day after a typhoon, and I was quite anxious, but fortunately, the weather improved. Unexpectedly, it turned into a private tour, and I had the best day swimming alongside sea turtles, guided by Alan. On the way back, Alan said, "Let's meet again in two years," so I'm already starting to consider it.

It was the best snorkeling experience. 最高のシュノーケリングでした

Reviewed by: ふみさん

I had only done snorkeling in Okinawa before. The sea in Okinawa was beautiful, but Hanauma Bay was incomparably more stunning.

On the day of the tour, a cheerful guide came to pick us up at the meeting point. The guide spoke Japanese very well and chatted with us casually during the drive. Thanks to that, we arrived at Hanauma Bay in no time. We received a briefing on sea etiquette and swimming techniques while putting on our fins and life jackets, and then we were off to the ocean! Perhaps due to the prior briefing, we were able to move around freely! When we moved to a slightly deeper area, a school of fish appeared right in front of us! I had never seen such a school of fish before!! After that, we were informed by the guide's friend about where to find sea turtles, and we set off to search for them. We successfully spotted a sea turtle. Although we shouldn't touch them, the turtle approached us closely, perhaps because it was used to people. It was so close that I was worried we might accidentally touch it.

After thoroughly enjoying Hanauma Bay, we were given well-chilled water and Hawaiian snacks on our way back. I was very grateful for that consideration, as swimming took more energy than I expected.

Next time I go to Hawaii, I would like to request the same guide again.

これまでに沖縄でしかシュノーケリングをしたことがありませんでした．沖縄の海もきれいでしたが，ハナウマ湾は沖縄とは比べ物にならないくらいきれいでした．

　当日はピックアップ場所に陽気なガイドさんが迎えに来てくれました．ガイドさんは日本語がとても上手で，移動の車内でも気さくに話しかけてくれます．おかげであっという間にハナウマ湾に到着．
　足ヒレ，ライフジャケットの装着時に海でのマナー，泳ぎ方のレクチャーを受け，いざ海へ！事前レクチャーのおかげか移動も自由自在に！水深が少し深いところへ移動すると，魚の群れが目の前に！あんな魚群は初めて見ました！！その後はガイドさんの友人からウミガメがいる場所を教えてもらい，ウミガメ捜索へ．無事にウミガメを発見できました．ウミガメは触ってはいけないのですが，ヒトに慣れているせいかウミガメからグイグイ近づいてきます．触ってしまうのではないかハラハラするくらい至近距離でした．
　ひとしきりハナウマ湾を満喫し，帰り際にはよく冷えた水とハワイのお菓子をいただきました．水の中は思ったより体力をつかうので，その気遣いがとてもうれしかったです．

次回ハワイに行くときはまた同じ方にガイドをお願いしたいと思います．

My first time in Hawaii. I had experienced snorkeling in various seas, so I was able to enjoy it without any anxiety. I was surprised to see so many fish in shallow waters. Moreover, the fish were so relaxed and unguarded, which was really soothing. I wanted to see even more. Other groups seemed to have spotted sea turtles, but unfortunately, we didn't see any on our tour, which was disappointing.
Our guide, Alan, was a very unique person, and we had a really fun time. I wasn't sure whether to give a tip, and in the end, I completely forgot about it when we got out of the car. I regretted not giving one for a while.
Everyone, if you think it was good, don't forget to give a tip! Since our guide was great, not tipping left me feeling unsettled.

初めてのハワイ。シュノーケリングは様々な海で体験済みだったので、不安もなく楽しめました。浅いところにも沢山の魚がいるのにびっくりしました。しかも、全然警戒心がないというか、おおらかな魚の姿に癒されました。もっともっと見ていたかったです。他のグループは、ウミガメも見られたようなのですが、私たちの回では見られず残念でした。
ガイドのアランさんはとてもユニークな方で、本当に楽しく過ごせました。チップを渡すのかどうかわからず、結局車を降りるときにはそのことをすっかり忘れてしまい、渡せばよかったんじゃないかと暫く後悔しました。

I participated with two friends. It was my first time in Hawaii, and I only booked the flight and hotel, so I was looking for optional tours and found this one. They picked us up by car at the hotel and contacted us the day before for the pickup. Since it was just the two of us that day, they moved the tour time to the morning. Our guide was Japanese, which made it easy to talk, and I was able to hear a lot of interesting information. When we arrived at the location, we received an explanation and entered the beach. We were able to put our valuables in a box that the guide brought and lock it up, which made me feel secure. We received our snorkeling sets and headed into the ocean. They taught us how to swim and enter the water first. It was my second time snorkeling, while it was my friend's first time, so I appreciated the thorough explanation. I wasn't very good at swimming, but they adjusted the pace to match my ability, which made me feel at ease. We moved through the beautiful sea while looking for fish, and time flew by. Unfortunately, we didn't see any turtles, but I was satisfied because we saw various fish. I think it's recommended for those who are not used to snorkeling or are visiting Hanauma Bay for the first time (＾_＾).

友達2人と参加しました。ハワイは初めてで航空券とホテルのみとっていただけだったので、オプションツアーを探していて見つけました。ホテルまで車で迎えにきて頂き、前日にピックアップの連絡もホテルにくださいました。その日は私たち2人のみということで、ツアーの時間を前倒しして午前にしてもらえました。日本人のガイドさんだったので、話しやすく、いろいろとお話が聞けました。現地に着くと説明を受けてビーチに入りました。貴重品はガイドさんが持ってきているボックスの中に入れて、カギをかけてもらえたので安心でした。シュノーケルのセットを受取りいざ海へ。最初に泳ぎ方、入り方などを教えてもらいました。私は2回目、友達は初めてのシュノーケリングだったので、丁寧な説明がありがたかったです。私は泳ぎが苦手だったのですが、泳ぎの程度に合わせて進んでくださるので安心でした。キレイな海をお魚を探しながら進んでくのであっという間に時間がすぎました。残念ながらカメには会えませんでしたが、いろんなお魚たちが見れたので満足でした。シュノーケリングに慣れて無い方、ハナウマ湾初めての方にはオススメだと思います（＾_＾）

The tour guide, Mr. Dann, who has a Japanese wife, speaks fluent Japanese. Usually, there are about 4 to 8 people on the tour, but on the day we participated, it was just the two of us. After enjoying the beautiful sea on the Big Island, I honestly didn't have high expectations for Honolulu (sorry, Mr. Dann), but we were able to see turtles and were very satisfied. It was a bit scary for amateurs to keep swimming, but we were guided a little further out and could fully enjoy the ocean.

We swam for about an hour on our own, but for those who are not confident in their swimming skills, Dann will pull you along. The visibility on the day we went wasn't great, but I recommend it for anyone wanting to see beautiful waters in Honolulu. The package includes round-trip tickets to the beach, a snorkeling set, snacks, water, a mat, and management of valuables. Above all, you can download the photos taken with a GoPro for free on Facebook, so you don't need to bring a camera.

During the car ride to and from the location, he shared recommendations for delicious restaurants and other spots in Honolulu. Even if you can't swim, it's much prettier than Waikiki Beach, and just relaxing there is worth it! ☆

私達は自力で1時間程泳ぎましたが、泳ぎに自信のない方は、ダンが引っ張っていってくれるそうです。
行った日は透明度はイマイチでしたが、ホノルルで綺麗な海に行きたい方にはオススメです。
入口-海の往復乗車券、シュノーケルセット、お菓子、水、ゴザ、貴重品管理をしてくれます。なにより、GoProで撮影した写真を、Facebookで無料でダウンロードできるので、カメラも必要ありません。
行き帰りの車の中で、美味しいお店の話やその他ホノルルのオススメスポットを教えてくださいました。
泳げなくても、ワイキキビーチよりとても綺麗でぼーっとするだけでも価値ありです☆

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＞

The diving at Hanauma Bay was fun. 楽しかったハナウマ湾のダイビング

Reviewed by: sakuramylove

I signed up because I really wanted to dive in the beautiful waters of Hanauma Bay. The shuttle bus was late, and I was anxiously waiting, but it arrived 10 minutes late. After that, I rented a full set of snorkeling gear at the shop, and everything went smoothly from preparation to diving. I had a great time encountering beautiful tropical fish and sea turtles. The guide was very kind and communicated in Japanese, which made me feel safe while diving. I definitely want to visit again next time.

ハナウマ湾の美しい海を是非潜りたくて申し込みました。
迎えのバスが遅れて、不安な思いでの待合せでしたが、１０分遅れでバスは到着
そのあとは、ショップでシュノーケル一式を借り受け、到着から事前の準備など
スムーズに潜ることができ、美しい熱帯魚やウミガメとの遭遇などとても楽しかったです。
ガイドの方も日本語での対応でとても親切で安心して潜ることが出来ました。
次回また、訪れてみたいところです。

I had high expectations... 期待していただけに・・・

Reviewed by: こはる日和

It was drizzling since the morning, and the visibility was not great, so I couldn't see any honu (sea turtles), which is why I gave this rating. I haven't compared it to a regular guide, but I had high expectations from the phrase "expert guide to secret locations." However, there wasn't anything particularly impressive that made me feel like it was truly expert-level, and I was left wondering what the "secret location" was. On the bright side, perhaps because it was more expensive, there were only four participants, so I was able to enjoy the experience in a relaxed atmosphere.

朝から小雨がふっていたりで、透明度がいまいちで、ホヌにも会えなかったのでこの評価にしました。普通の方のガイドと比べていないのですが、「達人ガイドが秘密の場所に」の言葉に期待していただけに、さすが達人！と感激する要素は特になく、秘密の場所って？？？って感じでした。ただ、他のより高いからなのか参加人数が4人でしたから、ゆったり気分で参加できました。

Hanauma Bay Snorkel Tour with Expert Guide & Waikiki Transportation

Great Time!

Reviewed by: Ralph

Dan was the best. We had first class service the whole trip. Dan went out of his way to make sure the kids, as well as the adults, were comfortable in the water and we all had a great time because of the small group size. It was almost as if we had a personalized one on one tour. Snorkeling was great the day we went, we saw tons of fish! Everything from a parrot fish to schools of colorful little fish... and how could I possibly forget my daughters favorite, this little silver looking stick fish! Awesome experience with awesome people! A must-do while in Hawaii!! This is not something that you want to miss!

Hanauma Bay Snorkel Tour with Expert Guide & Waikiki Transportation

Awesome

Reviewed by: Karly

We had so much fun! The kids could not have had a better time. We were picked up promptly at our hotel in a clean and accommodating vehicle. We were given information about people, places, and things that we were passing on our way to the Bay to snorkel. Upon arriving at the Bay we were escorted in, past all lines, to watch a short information movie, and then taken down to the Bay via tram, as not to have to walk. Upon arrival to the actual Bay we were given instructions on how to wear, and use all the provided safety equipment. Upon making sure that we were completely comfortable, the the fun of snorkeling ensued... We had a great time.

Incredible! Hanauma Bay 感動！ハナウマ湾

Reviewed by: misaki

I went to Hawaii for my first overseas trip. I was torn between Guam and Hawaii, but I decided to go to Hawaii since I was looking forward to enjoying my summer vacation. The day before, I did a little snorkeling at Heaven's Beach, but snorkeling at Hanauma Bay was a completely different kind of fun. Seeing the round, intricate shape of Hanauma Bay, I was moved by the clarity of the water and the beauty of the coral before even getting in. Watching the story of Hanauma Bay's creation and the ecosystem video made me realize that it is a place that is carefully protected.

Up close, the water was truly transparent, and it was an emerald green sea that I had never seen in Japan. As soon as I got in, there were lots of corals and many fish. Thanks to the veteran guide, I felt a sense of security and was able to see a sea turtle, which is not something you can easily encounter. Because of the guide, we were able to visit snorkeling spots that were just on the edge, as well as areas with incredible transparency that are far from the beach and hard to reach. I was really satisfied. Snorkeling at Hanauma Bay was an experience I will never forget because of the clarity and beauty of the sea. I had such a great experience that if anyone around me is going to Hawaii, I would definitely recommend snorkeling at Hanauma Bay. Thank you very much.

初めての海外旅行でハワイに行きました。グアムかハワイか迷いましたが、どうせいくなら、ハワイに行こうと決め、夏休みを楽しみにしていました。前日に、天国の海で少しシュノーケルをしましたが、ハナウマ湾でのシュノーケルは全く違う楽しさがありました。丸く入り組んだハナウマ湾を見て 、海の透明感やサンゴの綺麗さに海に入るまえに感動しました。ハナウマ湾誕生の話や生態系のビデオを見て、大切に護られている場所なんだと実感しました。
近くで見ると、ほんとに海が透き通っていて、日本では見ることのできないエメラルドグリーンの海でした。入ってすぐに珊瑚がたくさんあり、お魚も、たくさんいました。ベテランガイドさんならではの、綺麗なスポットや、安心感もあり、なかなか見ることの出来ないウミガメも二回みることができました。ガイドさんがいたからこそ、ギリギリのシュノーケルスポットや、珊瑚のギリギリのところ、浜辺から遠くてなかなか行くことが出来ない、透明感が抜群のところにも行き、ほんとに満足しました。ハナウマ湾でシュノーケルができて、一生あの海の透明感と綺麗さは忘れることはないと思いました。本当にいい経験が出来たので、周りにハワイに行く人がいたら、ハナウマ湾でのシュノーケルを是非勧めたいと思います。ありがとうございました。

They were incredibly kind, and it was great. 凄い親切で良かったです。

Reviewed by: noriko

This time, I participated in this tour because the sea in Heaven was not at low tide. I joined with a light heart, and I'm really glad I did. First of all, the instructors, a couple, were very kind and attentive. Although I had some snorkeling experience, it had been a while, so having the explanation in Japanese was a great help. If you're not confident in English, I highly recommend this! They stay with you throughout the snorkeling, so I think even children can enjoy it. The tour is only available on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, but if you have the chance, you should definitely participate. They provide everything except for swimwear, and there's also a pick-up service to the hotel. It's okay even if you're not confident in snorkeling or can't swim! It was a pity that I didn't encounter any sea turtles (I snorkeled in the afternoon, but I heard there were turtles in the morning), but that's just luck... Instead, there were plenty of fish, and I swam for nearly an hour without getting bored. You might get tired occasionally, but if you do, you can return to the beach early and take a nap while resting. After snorkeling, we relaxed a bit while eating snacks, which was also very nice! Please give it a try!! I also want to challenge myself again to see a sea turtle when I come back to Hawaii. I'm truly grateful to the instructors.

今回、天国の海が干潮ではないためこちらのツアーに参加しました。軽い気持ちで参加したのですが、参加して本当良かったです。まずインストラクターの御夫婦が本当優しく丁寧でシュノーケリングの経験はあったものの久しぶりだったので説明が日本語だったのが助かりました。英語に自信がない方は是非！！またシュノーケリングの間も常に一緒にいて導いてくれるのでお子様でも楽しめると思います。ツアーは月水木金しか参加が出来ませんが機会があれば是非参加して欲しいツアーです。ツアーは水着着用以外、すべて準備してくれます、またホテルまで送迎がついています。シュノーケリングに自信がない方、泳げない方でも大丈夫です！！ウミガメに遭遇出来なかったのが残念でしたが（私は午後にシュノーケリングしたのですが、午前はウミガメはいたとのこと）これは運なので・・・そのかわり、魚が一杯いて一時間近く泳いだのですが飽きなかったです。たまに疲れますが、疲れた方は先に浜辺に帰って休みながら昼寝も出来ます。シュノーケリングの後はお菓子を食べながら、少しゆっくりします。それもとても良かったです！是非参加してみてください！！私もまたハワイに来たらウミガメに会える様、再チャレンジしたいと思います。インストラクターの御夫婦には本当感謝しております。

The ocean and the scenery were amazing. 海も景色もサイコーでした

Reviewed by: ととちゃん

On my first trip to Hawaii, I decided to join a tour because it was difficult to travel far on my own. Even though the hotel I stayed at was quite local, they came to pick me up at the front desk. Both Chieko, who came to pick me up, and Dan, the guide, were very kind. Dan speaks fluent Japanese, so I think even those who don't understand English can participate with peace of mind. During the round trip, they shared various recommendations for delicious restaurants and information about the towns we passed through. They also provided information about the places we planned to visit the next day, which was very helpful.

After arriving at Hanauma Bay, we matched our fins and masks. They had a lot of sizes available, so I could use one that fit me well. They also took care of our valuables, and each person was lent a mat. The scenery at Hanauma Bay was stunning, and I was already moved before even entering the water. The underwater view was also very beautiful. A friend who joined me was snorkeling for the first time, but the guide was always there to support us, so we were able to enjoy it. We swam quite a bit while searching for sea turtles, and my friend was a bit tired, but was very impressed when they finally saw a sea turtle. After coming out of the water, there was even a service with snacks and water. It was truly fun. We were picked up at noon and could return by evening, so there was time for dinner and shopping afterward, making it a great option for those with a short stay.

There are many pigeons on the sandy beach of Hanauma Bay, but be careful! If you feed even one snack, they will gather around and perch on your arms, leaving you scratched up!

初めてのハワイ旅行で、個人で遠くまでの移動が大変だったので参加して見ました。泊まっていたホテルが、かなりローカルホテルだったのにホテルのフロントまで迎えにきてもらえました。迎えに来てくれたちえこさんも、ガイドのダンさんもとても親切でした。ダンさんは、日本語ペラペラなので、英語が解らない人でも安心して参加できると思います。送迎の往復では、美味しいオススメのお店や通る町などについて色々教えて頂けました。翌日に訪れる予定の場所の情報なども教えて頂けました。とても役にたちました。ハナウマ湾に到着後にフィンやマスクを合わせます。サイズも沢山持ってきてくれているので自分にあったものを使えました。貴重品なども預かって貰えるし、一人に一つゴザを貸して貰えます。ハナウマ湾は、とにかく景色が綺麗で海に入る前から感動しっぱなしでした。海の中もとても綺麗でした。一緒に参加した友人が、シュノーケル初めてでしたが、ずっとガイドさんがフォローしてくれていたので、楽しめることが出来ました。ウミガメを探すのに結構泳ぎ、友人は少し疲れてましたが、初めて見たウミガメにとても感動していました。海からあがるとお菓子とお水のサービスまでありました。本当に楽しかったです。お昼にピックアップで夕方には帰って来れるので、帰ってからディナーや買い物に行く時間もあるので、短い滞在のかたにもオススメです。
ハナウマ湾の砂浜には沢山鳩がいますが、お菓子を一つでもあげてしまうと沢山集まってきて腕などにとまり傷だらけになるのでご注意！

Pretty good

Reviewed by: Roxanne

Was a great experience for beginner snorkeler. I liked how the guides were taking pictures for their Facebook page and said we could download the images of ourselves for our records. My only complaint was that the water was not super clear, but other than that, it was worth it.
