Hanauma Bay Snorkel Tour with Expert Guide & Waikiki Transportation

Fantastic snorkeling

Reviewed by: Ohio sisters

Our guide Dan was EXCELLENT!!!!!! There were only 4 of us in this group so Dan was very conscientious of how we were doing, making sure we saw a huge varied fish and even a turtle. Dan was an EXPERT and knew Hanauma Bay like the back of his hand. It was a once in a lifetime experience.

Hanauma Bay Snorkel Tour with Expert Guide & Waikiki Transportation

Great way to experience this spot for the first time

Reviewed by: Explore the bay without the headache!

While we have been to Hawaii a few times this was our first time exploring Hanauma Bay. We didn’t know what to expect but our guide made the adventure far easier than trying to tour this spot on our own. Our guide had all the snorkeling gear, wet suits if needed, snacks available, and took photos for us. We had a young 7 year old child up to elderly and even though some stayed in the water for just a little while our guide helped us navigate the waters or assisted us walking back to our spot on the grass. It was very busy there, and we unfortunately didn’t get to see sea turtles so I wouldn’t go with very high expectations of that. However the bay is just beautiful itself and there are a good amount of fish we saw which was still fun. If you are new to snorkeling and want to see this area I would recommend taking the guided tour like this and then venturing on your own in the future if you are comfortable.

ハナウマ湾シャトルサービス シュノーケリングセットレンタル付き<英語ドライバー>

The price is high, but it definitely seems like you'll be able to enter Hanauma Bay. 値段は高いが、確実にハナウマ湾に入れそう。

Reviewed by: パピ

Hanauma Bay has become reservation-only after COVID, and while it's great to have guaranteed entry, I think the early morning schedule and the rental/transportation prices are high. Is there a way to make it cheaper if you only need transportation without the rental? (Entry is possible if you wait in line, so it might be possible to go by Uber, but it could be difficult to enter on the day without a guide from a service.)

ハナウマ湾がコロナ後予約制になり、個人での予約が難しい中、確実に入れるのはありがたいが、朝が早くレンタル/送迎の値段としては高いと思う。レンタル不要で送迎のみでもっと安くならないか?(入場は並べば良いので、自分でウーバーで行く事も可能かもだが、業者同行がないと当日入場は難しいかも?)

Beautiful sea and coral reefs 美しい海と珊瑚礁

Reviewed by: ゆき

I heard that the ocean is more beautiful than Waikiki Beach, so I decided to join. It was tough to wake up early and participate, but Hanauma Bay was more stunning than I imagined. I also think there are more fish to see compared to Waikiki Beach. I wasn't confident in my swimming skills, but I enjoyed the wide area where I could stand in shallow water.

ワイキキビーチよりも海が綺麗との話を聞き参加しました。早朝に起床し参加するのは大変でしたが、ハナウマ湾は想像以上に絶景でした。また、見ることのできる魚の数もワイキキビーチより多いと思います。私は泳ぎに自信がありませんでしたが、足のつく浅いところの範囲も広く楽しめました。

You can see a lot of fish at waist-deep water, making it enjoyable for snorkeling beginners. Although it was a bit cold to stay in the water in March due to the clouds, once you get in, it’s not a problem.

腰の高さの水深で沢山の魚を見ることができ、スノーケリング初心者で十分楽しめます。海に入り続けるには3月の曇りは少し寒いですが、入ってしまえば問題なしでした。

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

Amazing, Highly recommend

Reviewed by: Ann

It was my first time snorkelling, and the experience was fantastic! The equipment was clean, well-maintained, and easy to use. If you're not comfortable swimming in the ocean like me, I highly recommend renting a life vest for extra confidence.

From the start, everything was well-organized. The shuttle bus driver was friendly and informative, sharing insights about Oahu’s geography, and pointing out tourist attractions and great restaurants along the way. He even handed out pictures of ocean creatures we might spot, which made the ride even more exciting!

Overall, a great experience, I’d definitely recommend it!

It takes time to swim. 泳ぐまで時間がかかる

Reviewed by: tomtom

Since it was early in the morning, the pickup time was 5:45 AM. We arrived at a nearby cape before dawn and waited for a while, reaching the entrance just after 7 AM. After entering at 8 AM with standard equipment (snorkel, fins) along with optional life jackets, umbrellas, and chairs, there was a presentation, and we finally made it to the beach by 8:30 AM, ready to swim. Overall, the time spent carrying our belongings was long and tiring. We did see some fish in the sea, but the scenery wasn't as impressive as we had hoped. I also thought the entrance fee of $25 per person was high.

朝一だったのでピックアップの時間は5時45分、夜明け前に近くの岬に到着してしばらく待機し、入口についたのが7時過ぎ。入口から標準装備(シュノーケル、フィン)の他にオプションの救命具、パラソル、椅子をもって8時に入場開始が始まり、説明の上映もあって、8時半にやっと浜辺に着き泳げる体制になりました。とにかく荷物を運んでいる時間も長くくたびれました。海は魚も見れましたが、期待しているほどの景観ではなかったです。また入場料も25ドル/人は高いと思いました。

I wanted to see not only snorkeling but also souvenir shops. スノーケリングだけでなく、お土産屋さんも見たかった

Reviewed by: ken

This is a round trip snorkeling tour at Hanauma Bay that lasts over 4 hours. It takes about 30 minutes to get there by car, and there is nearly an hour spent on the rules of Hanauma Bay and putting on wetsuits. The snorkeling itself lasts a full hour, which is quite long.

For my husband and me, an hour felt a bit long, and we got bored halfway through and felt a bit seasick. Additionally, we were disappointed that we couldn't spend a little more time relaxing on-site or stop by the local shops.

Originally, it was scheduled for January 30, but I received a call from Veltra the day before, asking me to change the date due to a warning being issued for the next day. So, I participated on February 1.
When I come to Hawaii, Hanauma Bay is an absolute must-visit and one of my favorite places. Although it was an early morning, I was able to enjoy it while there were fewer people. I encountered many fish and was very satisfied. The weather was great, and the view of Hanauma Bay from near the entrance was amazing!
Of course, I want to go again.

当初は1/30の予定でしたが、前日にベルトラさんから電話を頂き、明日は警報が出ているので日程を変更してくださいとのこと。そして2/1に参加させて頂きました。

I visited Hanauma Bay for the first time in 30 years. We arrived in an 8-passenger van before the parking lot opened, but there were quite a few cars lined up. Thanks to our guide departing early based on the previous day's situation, we were able to enter quite smoothly. It seems that tour guests can enter preferentially. Before descending to Hanauma Bay, we watched a video and received explanations, which took about 30 minutes. We descended about 30 meters down a steep slope in a large buggy that holds around 15 people. In the past, there were many fish near the shore because people fed them, but now there aren't as many. Following our guide, we were shown the areas where the fish are, from the left side of the bay to the right. Along the way, we were able to see a turtle. Additionally, we spotted a whale spouting outside the bay.

Three sea turtles 3匹の海亀

Reviewed by: MaoTomo

It was an incredibly satisfying snorkeling experience! All the concerns I had were addressed by the two staff members. I was particularly worried about managing valuables like my wallet, passport, and smartphone, but they provided a locked case for safe storage, which made me feel secure.

Moreover, I was deeply moved when I unexpectedly encountered three sea turtles swimming right in front of me, which is said to be a rare experience.

We swam quite a bit, but since children can participate, I'm sure anyone can manage it! Since it was a January morning, it felt a bit chilly after swimming, so I was glad I brought a hoodie and a towel.

As long as I don't oversleep, it will definitely be the best day! If I come to Hawaii again, I would absolutely want to sign up for this tour.

Thank you so much!

大満足のシュノーケリングでした!!
不安に思っていたことは全てスタッフのお二人が解消してくれました。
特に、財布やパスポート、スマホ等、貴重品の管理が不安でしたが、鍵付きのケースにまとめて保管していただけるので安心でした。

また、あまり出会うことの出来ないと言われる海亀が、偶然3匹も目の前に現れ一緒に泳いでくれたときはとても感動しました。

けっこう泳ぎましたが、子どもが参加することもあるくらいなので、きっと大丈夫です!
1月の朝ということもあり、泳ぎ終わったときは少し寒かったので、パーカーなど羽織るものやタオルを持っていっていて良かったと思いました。

I had prepared a waterproof case for my smartphone, but I didn't have the luxury of using it. However, the staff were able to upload photos taken with a GoPro to Facebook, so I can still keep the memo

Tips and suggestions

・スマホの防水ケースを用意していましたが、そんな余裕はありませんでした。しかし、スタッフの方がGoProで撮った写真をfacebookあげてもらえるので思い出は残せます。

Thank you for joining the tour. It's not often that you get to swim with three turtles, so you were truly lucky to have that experience. We look forward to having you repeat the tour when you visit Hawaii again. Thank you. Mahalo!!

この度はツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございました。3匹の亀と一緒に泳げることは滅多にありませんので、本当にラッキーなお日にちに当たりましたね。ぜひまたハワイにお越しの際にはツアーにリピートしていただけます事をお待ちしております。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 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's a meaningful tour. 有意義なツアーです

Reviewed by: Day Gecko

I was able to avoid the morning traffic and prepare to make the most of my time on-site, thanks to the thoughtful arrangements. I'm glad I entrusted this to the professionals.

It had been a while since I went snorkeling, but thanks to Chieko's careful guidance, I was able to swim around without any worries and encountered many fish. It was a lot of fun. Thank you very much.

朝の渋滞を避け、現地でもできる限り時間を有効に使えるよう準備、気配りをしていただきました。プロに任せてよかったです。
久しぶりのシュノーケリングでしたが、Chieko先生が丁寧に指導してくださったので、不安なく泳ぎ回ってたくさんのお魚に出会えて、とても楽しかったです。ありがとうございました。

I think it's great to participate in an early morning tour because you can make good use of your time after snorkeling.

朝早いツアーに参加すると、シュノーケリング後の時間も有効に使えて良いと思います。

Thank you for joining the tour. Although the pickup was in the dark before sunrise, customers participating in the morning tour get to swim in the ocean first, which feels great. Most importantly, it allows you to enjoy a longer and more fulfilling day. We look forward to your repeat visit on your next trip to Hawaii. Thank you. Mahalo!!

この度はツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございました。日の出前で真っ暗な中でのピックアップでしたが、朝ツアーにご参加のお客様は一番乗りの海を泳げますので気持ちがいいですし、何より1日を長く楽しく有効に過ごしていただけますね。ぜひまたハワイにお越しの際にはツアーにリピートしていただけます事をお待ちしております。ありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

ハナウマ湾シャトルサービス シュノーケリングセットレンタル付き<英語ドライバー>

Smooth entry. スムーズに入場

Reviewed by: パグ

It was great to be able to enter smoothly right after it opened! Since it was December, there were times when the sun was hidden by clouds and it was a bit chilly right after coming out of the water, but I was able to enjoy seeing plenty of fish. The amount of time spent at Hanauma Bay was just right.

オープンしてすぐのタイミングでスムーズに入ることができとても良かったです!
12月ということで、太陽が雲に隠れているタイミングや海から出た直後は少し肌寒かったのですが、魚もいっぱい見ることが満喫できました。ハナウマ湾の滞在時間もちょうど良かったです。

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>

The best snorkeling experience. 最高のシュノーケリング体験

Reviewed by: もも

I would like to thank our guides, Chieko and Dan, once again! I have experienced many tours like this, but I was truly impressed by your hospitality.

The night before, I received an email informing me that "Hanauma Bay is expected to be crowded due to the holiday, so we will pick you up 15 minutes early." It was very considerate of you.

The pickup and entry to Hanauma Bay were smooth, and you provided clear instructions on where to position ourselves to watch the explanation video.

For the early morning course in December, I hadn't reserved a wetsuit, but you advised me that it would be better to wear one because it was cold, and I was able to rent one on the spot.

My daughter (10 years old) brought her own snorkeling gear, but you kindly helped us switch the tube part to a high-spec rental item.

The snorkeling was amazing! With Chieko and Dan guiding us, and Chieko holding my daughter's hand, we were able to swim until the end and even see a sea turtle. It was a thrilling experience.

I definitely want to use your services again. Thank you very much!

ガイドのチエコさんダンさん、またお世話になりたいです!こういったツアーは沢山体験してきましたが、お2人のホスピタリティには感動しました。

前日夜、メールもいただいていたのですが、ホテルの部屋に「ハナウマ湾周辺はホリデーで混雑が予想されるので、15分早くピックアップします」とご丁寧にご連絡いただきました。

ピックアップもハナウマ湾への入場もスムーズで、説明ビデオを見るポジション取りもしっかり教えていただきました。

12月の早朝コース、ウェットスーツの予約をしていなかったのですが、寒いから着たほうが良いとアドバイスいただき、追加でその場でレンタルさせてもらいました。
娘(10歳)はシュノーケリング持参で行きましたが、筒の部分はハイスペックなレンタル品に変えてもらったり、お気遣いいただきました。

シュノーケリングも最高!
チエコさんダンさんにしっかりガイドしてもらい、チエコさんが娘の手を繋いでいてくれたおかげで、最後まで泳ぐことができ、ウミガメにも会えました。感激です。

また是非お世話になりたいです。
ありがとうございました!

Tips and suggestions

I recommend renting a wetsuit in the morning during the cold season. Also, for small children who have no snorkeling experience, I think it's a good idea to practice snorkeling in the bath!

Tips and suggestions

寒い時期の午前中はウェットスーツレンタルをおすすめします。また、シュノーケリング経験のない小さい子供はお風呂でシュノーケリングの練習をしていくと良いと思います!

Thank you for joining the tour. I'm relieved to hear that everyone enjoyed it, including myself and Dan. Your daughter was very skilled. I'm glad you got to see the sea turtles. I hope we can meet again on a tour when you visit Hawaii next time. Thank you. Mahalo!!

この度はツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございました。皆様に楽しんでいただけたようで、私もDANも安堵しております。娘さんはとてもお上手でしたよ。ウミガメにも会えて良かったですね。ぜひまたハワイにお越しの際にはツアーでお会いできればと思っています。ありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

I was thrilled to see two turtles. 亀を2匹もみられ感激

Reviewed by: きょうこさん

It's very convenient since transportation is included. Using CHIEKO's fins as a marker, it felt very safe and comfortable. I was quite impressed to see turtles coming up to the surface for air several times. We were all thrilled to see turtles in a different location as well. Of course, there were plenty of fish too. Since both my husband and I are 65 years old, we would love to go again if we have the chance. Thank you, CHIEKO!

送迎付きですのでとにかく便利です。CHIEKOさんの足ひれを目印にとても安全でとても気持ちがよく、亀が呼吸のために水面に顔を出すしぐさを数回見られかなり感激しました。また違う場所で亀を見られて参加者皆またまた感激。もちろん魚もたくさんいました。夫婦共に65歳なので機会があればまた行きたいと思っています。CHIEKOさんに感謝です。
