I was attracted by the fact that they could send photos via email, so I decided to use this service! I'm glad I got to see the world of Nemo. Unfortunately, I didn't get to meet any sea turtles.

写真をメールで送ってもらえるのが魅力で、こちらを利用させて頂きました！

ホヌ is a Hawaiian word for "sea turtle." The expression "v(^o^)v" represents a happy or celebratory gesture. So, the translation could be interpreted as "Sea turtle! Yay!" ホヌ〜v(^o^)v

Reviewed by: Mitsu

For our 10th wedding anniversary, we planned a trip to Hawaii, and my wife booked this tour to Hanauma Bay for us.

The ocean was just beautiful!!

The weather on the day was sunny. Leading up to the day, the weather hadn't been great, and the ocean was chilly! But the stunningly clear water and the abundance of fish made us forget all that.

Our guide, Alan, was a gentleman who kindly taught us in Japanese, even though we couldn't speak any English at all, so we were able to snorkel without any worries.

He even helped us see the honu (green sea turtles), which moved both me and my wife deeply!!

We tried our best to take photos underwater ourselves, but Alan was continuously taking pictures for us and uploaded them to Facebook, so we could save them from there! He took about 110 photos during our time, so even now that we're back in Japan, we can always remember Hanauma Bay with those dynamic pictures.

There are other tours available for Hanauma Bay that might be cheaper, but considering the guide's personality, accurate advice, and aftercare, I highly recommend this tour!

Thank you for the wonderful memories!!

結婚10周年でハワイ旅行を企画し、奥様がこのハナウマ湾を予約してくれました。

とにかく海が綺麗！！

当日の天気は晴れ。当日まで天気が良くなく海はさぶっ！！っといった感じでしたが、それを忘れるくらいの綺麗な海、大量の魚たちでした^^

ガイドのアランさんは紳士な方で、我々全く英語がしゃべれない人たちにもw、日本語で優しく教えてくれるので、何の心配も無くシュノーケリング出来ました。

最大の目的のホヌにもあわせてくれました、これには自分もおくさんも感動しました！！

自分達でも水中で写真を頑張って撮りましたが、終始アランさんが写真を撮っていてくれて、その写真をfacebookにアップしてくれているので、そこから写真を保存する事が出来まます！！
我々の時は110枚くらい撮っていてくれていたので、日本に戻った今でもダイナミックな写真でいつでもハナウマ湾を思い出せます^^

ハナウマのツアーは他にもあり、ここよりも安いものあると思いますが、ガイドさんの人柄、的確なアドバイス、アフターケアなど色々考踏まえて、このツアーをオススメします！

最高の思い出をありがとうございました！！

It was amazing!! 最高でした！！

Reviewed by: wasako@

We participated as a family of three, with our 10-year-old son. It was all of our first time snorkeling, and we were quite anxious about swimming, but in the end, we were really glad we joined!

Alan sensed our nervousness and kindly guided us in Japanese, mixing in jokes, and he held our hands while we swam throughout the experience. Thanks to him, we were able to go to depths we would never have ventured to on our own, and we got to see beautiful fish and even two graceful sea turtles, which almost brought me to tears.

Before going, my husband had said, "Isn't this a bit expensive? Maybe we should go with a cheaper tour," but afterward, he remarked, "It was worth more than the price!" Our son, who was initially unsure about snorkeling, seemed very moved, and as soon as we returned to the hotel, he bought a cheap snorkel at ABC and went diving in the waters of Waikiki (laughs).

We are truly grateful to Alan for all his help. We definitely want to join this tour again next time. Thank you very much!

This was my second time at Hanauma Bay! The first time was two years ago without a guide, and it was enjoyable in its own way, but this time, with our guide Alan, we encountered two honu (sea turtles)‼︎ We were able to swim close enough to the honu, and we also got to see the feeding behavior of the honu and schools of fish—an experience that we definitely wouldn't have had on our own. The kids were very happy as well.

I tend to get seasick and have a history of dizziness, and I ended up feeling nauseous from the waves, but Alan was very supportive, guiding me and escorting me back to shore, which was a great comfort. Thank you very much!! I highly recommend it‼︎‼︎

I was anxious about using the service for the first time, but it was convenient as I didn't have to go to the tour desk. I participated with a group of 8 on March 20th. I think a snorkeling instructor is necessary at Hanauma. On a previous cheap tour I participated in, I couldn't see any fish. Alan and the Japanese female staff were kind, precise, and efficient, allowing us to see a group of sea turtles and rays. I am grateful for that. There was also luggage to move, but they helped carry it. As a suggestion, it would be nice to have prescription goggles and towel rentals available. Thank you very much.

初めての利用で、不安でしたがツアーデスクに行くことも無く、便利でした。３／２０　8名で参加しました。ハナウマではシュノーケリングインストラクターが必要だと思います。以前参加した安いツアーでは、魚は、見られませんでした。アランさん、日本女性スタッフの方、親切で的確で効率良くウミガメ、エイ魚のむれを見ることができました。感謝しております。移動の荷物もありましたが運んで頂きました。要望として、度付きゴーグル、タオル貸し出しがあればいいですね

Be sure to visit Hanauma Bay with an expert! ハナウマ湾は是非達人と！

Reviewed by: エリカ

It's a bit more expensive than other Hanauma Bay tours, but I absolutely recommend the Expert tour! Our guide, Alan, was kind and fluent in Japanese.

I think you can get to Hanauma Bay on your own or through other tours, but with the Expert tour, we were able to go out to areas where no one else was swimming and circle the bay. Both my friend and I were almost beginners at snorkeling, but Alan explained everything from how to use the equipment to tips, and he always kept an eye on our pace, so we could enjoy it safely.

In this tour, we not only encountered sea turtles but also saw seals underwater!!! According to Alan, it was his first time meeting a swimming seal. He mentioned that he often sees seals lounging on the beach. We were really lucky! The seal seemed a bit surprised to see us too. Haha! The seals looked so cute, like stuffed animals swimming around.

One great thing about the Expert tour is that Alan takes photos underwater (and even on the beach)! We brought a waterproof camera, but we couldn't take good pictures at all since we're amateurs. However, Alan uploads the photos he takes underwater to Facebook, so after the tour, we can get those pictures, which is really helpful. Alan's underwater photography is truly professional!

I will definitely join the Expert Hanauma Bay tour again next time!

他のハナウマ湾ツアーより割高ですが、絶対に達人をオススメします！
達人ガイドのアランさんは優しくて、日本語もペラペラです。

ハナウマ湾自体は、自力で来ることも他のツアーで来ることも可能だと思いますが、達人とのツアーだと他の人達が全く泳いでいない沖の方まで行き、湾の中一周できました。
私も友人もシュノーケリングはほぼ初心者でしたが、使い方からコツまで丁寧に説明してくださり、ペースなども常に気にかけてくれるので安全に楽しめました。

なんと今回のツアーでは、海中でホヌだけでなくアザラシにも出会えました！！！アランさん曰く泳いでいるアザラシに出会ったのは初めてとのことです。海岸で寝ているアザラシはよく見るそうですが。本当にラッキーです！！アザラシの方も遭遇した私達に少し驚いてました。笑　アザラシ、本当にぬいぐるみが泳いでいるみたいで可愛かったです。

達人のツアーの良い点は、アランさんが海中（ビーチなどでも）で撮ってくれる写真です！私達も防水カメラ持って行きましたが、やはり素人で全然うまく撮れません。ですが、アランさんが海中で撮った写真をFacebookにアップして下さるので、ツアー参加後そこから写真をいただくことが出来、とても助かります。アランさんの海中写真、本当にプロです！

次回も達人のハナウマ湾ツアーに参加します！

For my first snorkeling experience at Hanauma Bay, I wanted to have a proper guide, so I made a reservation. There was a mix-up at first, and I ended up being about 20 minutes late to the meeting point, but the program continued as planned, and I was able to relax and enjoy the fun conversations with Allyn. I was moved when I got to see a honu up close. My husband, who has no particular hobbies and was visiting Hawaii for the first time, said, "I might want to take up snorkeling as a hobby."

Allyn also promptly sent the photos via email, and I was drawn to her personality.

The tour conductor was very nice! Since it was just my mother and me on the day, we received plenty of snorkeling instruction before heading into the sea! The beautiful waters of Hanauma Bay are stunning to look at, but being in the water is amazing!! There were so many adorable tropical fish that I had never seen before. Occasionally, we also spotted larger fish. And guess what! We encountered a small sea turtle. We were able to see it just as it was coming up for air, which was a rare experience. After that, the guide pointed out a small, cute shark (not a man-eater) hiding in the rocks, which is apparently quite uncommon, so we were lucky! The guide took a lot of photos for us and shared how much they love the waters of Hawaii, making them a truly trustworthy and wonderful person. If I go again, I would definitely want to book with them. I highly recommend this experience!

ツアーコンダクターの方がとても、良い方でした！当日は母と私の二人だけだったので、たっぷりシュノーケルのレクチャーを受け、いざ海へ！ハナウマベイの美しい海は眺めるのももちろんですが、入ってからがすばらしい！！初めて見るような熱帯魚たちがいっぱいでかわいくて。大きな魚も時々います。そしてなんと！海がめ（小さい）と遭遇できました。ちょうど息継ぎをする瞬間まで見られて、貴重な体験。その後、岩の陰に小さなかわいいサメ（人食いではない）がいることを、ガイドさんが教えてくれてみれました。これはなかなかないことらしく、ラッキーです！たくさん写真も撮ってくれて、ハワイの海が大好きとお話してくれるガイドさんは、本当に信頼できる素敵な方です。次も行くなら、絶対こちらで頼みたいと思うくらいです。本当にオススメです。

On December 30th, I went on a tour to Hanauma Bay in the afternoon. I was worried that there might not be any fish or sea turtles in the afternoon, but our expert guide took us to points where we could encounter them. Although the waves were high and the conditions were not great this time, I was able to see two sea turtles up close. It was an emotional experience to see them in the water right next to me, unlike viewing them through glass at an aquarium.

12月30日午後からのツアーでハナウマ湾に行きました。午後からだと魚やウミガメ居ないかな？と心配していましたが、達人ガイドさんが会えそうなポイントまで連れて行ってくれました。今回は波が高く条件が悪かったのですが、２匹のウミガメを間近で見ることができました。水族館でガラス越しで見るのと違い、海中ですぐそばで見ることができて感動でした。

I was able to meet a honu (sea turtle)!! ホヌに会えました！！

Reviewed by: 楽しいこと大好き

I arrived in Honolulu on the morning of November 20 and participated in a tour that afternoon. The next day was my son's wedding, so it felt like a bit of a mix between the two events, but of course, this was my first trip to Hawaii for the wedding.

I was searching for a tour at the last minute and hoped to join one the day after the wedding, but there were no openings. I really wanted to participate in this tour, and since it was available the day before, I made an immediate reservation. I had only snorkeled once a year and a half ago, borrowing equipment at a hotel in Cebu and trying it out on the hotel's private beach in shallow water. At that time, I only saw a few dark fish.

When the tide went out, I realized how limited my experience had been, and I really wanted to try snorkeling with an instructor at least once and hoped to see a honu (sea turtle), so I signed up.

Alan picked us up from the hotel on time. He spoke Japanese well and was very friendly. That day's participants included us, aged 62 and 58, and a young couple. We stopped by a shop to fit our equipment. As soon as we entered, Alan said, "Today we will dive 30 meters." What?! I was half serious about it. Maybe I was just nervous since I had just arrived in Honolulu that morning. Alan, with a friendly smile, reassured me that he was joking, sensing my tension and trying to ease it.

We arrived at Hanauma Bay and took a picture with a view of the bay. After watching a video, we headed to the beach. There was a brief explanation of how to use the equipment and how to breathe. We stored our important belongings in a large box, locked it, and secured it to a tree with a chain. After using the restroom, we headed to the sea.

We practiced a bit in the shallow water, about waist-deep, and then paired up, holding hands and following Alan. We were able to see various fish, both small and large, and I was especially happy to see a honu. The honu swam leisurely, and I thought to myself that I wanted to live life just as leisurely. Alan held my hand along the way, making it easy for me to enjoy the experience with my husband in between us. I felt completely at ease, even in deeper water, and it was fun. We wore life jackets, and with Alan around, I felt safe.

The snorkel mouthpiece was a bit uncomfortable, though. If it loosened, water would come in from the side, so I had to occasionally lift my head and adjust it. I snorkeled two more times during this trip, but I no longer felt discomfort in my mouth. I guess I was just tensing up. We swam for quite a while in Hanauma Bay, so I didn't feel too tired in the water, but once we got back on land, my legs were fatigued. However, I felt refreshed; it was a fun experience on my first day in Hawaii. Thank you, Alan. To the young couple we were with, wishing you happiness, thank you.

For beginners, you can feel assured with Alan's fluent Japanese support. You'll surely get to see a honu!

11月20日朝ホノルルに到着し、その日の昼にツアーに参加。
翌日は息子の結婚式という、どっちがメイン？みたいになってしまいましたが、もちろん結婚式のための初ハワイでしたが。
渡航ぎりぎりのツアー探しで、結婚式翌日の参加を希望しましたが空きがなく、どうしてもこのツアーに参加したくて、前日なら可能だったので即予約しました。
シュノーケリングは1年半前に一度だけ。
セブのホテルで用具だけ借りて自己流で、ホテルのプライベートビーチで岸辺近くのすぐに背が立つような場所でちょっとやっただけ。その時は黒っぽい魚を少し見られただけでした。
潮が引いてみると、こんな場所でしてたのぉ～みたいなしょぼい経験しかなく、ぜひ一度インストラクター付でしたかったのと、ホヌにぜひとも会いたかったので申込みました。

アランさんが、時間通りにホテルにお迎え、日本語も上手で、とても気さくな方でした。
その日の参加は、私達62歳と58歳、そして若いカップル一組。
ショップに立ち寄り用具合わせ。
ショップに入ってアランさんが開口一番、今日は３０メートル潜ります。
えっ？！
私は半分マジになりました。
朝ホノルルに着いたばかりでそれだけ緊張していたのかも。
冗談ですよ～と気さくな笑顔のアランさん。緊張を見てとって、ほぐしてくださったのかな。

ハナウマ湾に到着。湾を一望できる所で一枚パチリ。ビデオを見てからビーチへ。
用具の使い方、呼吸の仕方などの簡単な説明、大事な荷物は大きなボックスに収納し、ボックスを施錠し木にチェーンで固定し施錠。トイレも済ませて海へ。
砂浜の、腰くらいの深さの所で少し練習し、ペアで手をつないでアランさんについていきました。

小さな魚や大きな魚などいろいろ見ることができ、何と言ってもホヌに会えたので嬉しかったですね。
ホヌはゆったりと泳いでいました。わたし達もゆったり生きていきたいですねえ。
途中アランさんが手を引いてくれて、私はダンナとサンドイッチで楽ちんでした。
深い所でも全然不安もなく、楽しかったです。救命胴衣もつけるし、アランさんもいるので安心です。
シュノーケルをくわえる口元が、少ししんどかったかな。緩むと横から水が入ってくるので、時々顔をあげてくわえ直しました。この旅行でこの後2回シュノーケリングしましたが、口元のしんどさは感じなくなりました。たぶん、余分な力が入っていたのでしょうね。
ハナウマ湾でかなりの時間泳いでいたので、海の中ではあまり感じなかったけれど、陸にあがったら足が疲れてました。
でも気分爽快、初ハワイ初日の、楽しい体験でした。
アランさん、どうもありがとう。ご一緒した若いカップルさん、お幸せに、ありがとう。

初心者の人も、日本語ペラペラのアランさんのサポートがあるので安心です。
きっとホヌに会えますよ。

I was able to thoroughly enjoy the scenery underwater, even as someone who can't swim.

A couple over sixty years old decided to try snorkeling for the first time, not thinking about their age or being in a foreign country. At first, they thought it would be nice to see a few tropical fish, but once they got in the water, they were surprised to see not only many tropical fish but also a honu (turtle) swimming gracefully from the seabed to the surface right in front of them. Unfortunately, the wife missed seeing it, which was a bit tragic! For me, it was an emotional and thrilling experience that lasted over an hour.

The guide, whose name I forgot, was fluent in Japanese, fun, and attentive. He took many photos, and when I returned home and checked my email, I found several photos attached along with a thank-you note (including pictures of the honu), which made me so happy. The person I was with also seemed to be snorkeling for the first time, and we both enjoyed this tour immensely. Thank you so much to the guide whose name I forgot!

還暦を過ぎた夫婦が、異国ということで年も傍目も考えず、初めてのシュノーケリングに挑戦しました。当初は、熱帯魚の二三匹も見られればいいなぁという感じでしたが、いざ入ってみるとたくさんの熱帯魚と共に、なんとホヌ(亀さん)までもが、海底から目の前の海面までスイスイと泳ぎあがってきたのには同行した方とともにビックリ。残念ながら妻はそれを見なかったという悲劇!
私にとっては、感動と感激の一時間あまりの体験でした。

Reviewed by: ラウラ

Due to the short duration of my stay, I decided to join a tour for efficiency and chose this one based on reviews. Regardless of snorkeling experience, I wore a type of life jacket that inflates with your own breath (similar to those used in emergencies during flights). If you want to dive to some extent, I recommend consulting with the instructor. I have snorkeling experience but lack confidence in swimming and struggle with equalizing pressure, so I didn't dive. I had no resistance to wearing the life jacket; in fact, I found it easier to swim than usual.

The underwater scenery was amazing, and I saw three sea turtles! A friend who joined me cannot swim, but with the life jacket on, the instructor carefully explained how to wear fins, how to float on your back, and how to deal with water entering the mask before we actually started swimming, so they felt very safe and had a great time.

Transportation between the hotel and the site, as well as equipment rentals, were stress-free in every aspect. While the tour cost might seem a bit high, I personally felt it was worth it. I think it's not suitable for those who want to take their time and relax (which is why I rated it a 4), but I recommend it for those with limited time like I had. Please note that as of October 2013, the entrance fee to the bay (US$ 7.5) is not included in the tour price and must be paid on the day.

現地滞在期間が短かったため効率よく行こうとツアーに参加することにし、口コミを参考にしてこのツアーに決めました。
シュノーケル経験の有無にかかわらず、自分の呼吸で膨らますタイプの救命胴衣(飛行機搭乗中の非常時に使うものに近い)を着用しました。もしある程度潜水したいという方は、インストラクターに相談されるといいと思います。私はシュノーケルの経験は何度もありますが、泳ぎにそこまで自信がない＆耳抜きが苦手なので潜水はしないため、救命胴衣の着用に抵抗はなく、むしろやはりいつもよりラクに泳げました。
肝心の海中景色は素晴らしく、ウミガメは３匹も見かけました！一緒に参加した友人は泳げないのですが、救命胴衣を着用し、実際に泳ぎ出す前にフィン(足ヒレ)の履き方や水面で仰向けになりたい時の方法、マスク(水中メガネ)に水が入った場合の対処法など、インストラクターが丁寧に説明してくれましたので、安心してとても楽しむことができたようです。
ホテルと現地間の交通手段や道具のレンタルなど、あらゆる場面でストレスフリーだったので、ツアー代は少々高めに感じられるかも知れませんが、個人的には相応の価値ありと感じました。時間に余裕があってのんびり過ごしたいという方には不向きだと思いますが(なので評価は４にしました)、今回の私のように時間が限られている方にはオススメします。なお、2013年10月時点で、湾への入場料(US$ 7.5)はツアー代に含まれておらず当日支払いなので、ご注意ください。

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 is amazing! ハナウマ湾、サイコーです。

I participated with my daughter. I had heard rumors about not seeing many fish, encountering sea turtles being a matter of luck, long wait times for entry, and steep hills, so I decided to join this tour because I thought it was essential to have ① a guided tour ② shuttle service ③ peace of mind. As a result, it was a great decision! We were guided by a true expert. Unfortunately, I had to retire from snorkeling after 30 years, but I thoroughly enjoyed the power of the waves and the flow of the tide. My daughter was taken out to the outer reef, where she encountered multiple sea turtles and saw many fish, allowing her to take lots of photos. Additionally, even though I retired, I was able to see cats, pigeons, chickens, and even a mongoose on land. I want to build up my stamina a bit more and try again.

娘と参加しました。魚があまりいないとか、ウミガメに遭遇できるのは運しだいとか、入場待ちが長いとか、坂道がきついとかの噂も聞いていたので、①ガイド付き②シャトル付き③安心はハズせないっと思いこちらのツアーに参加を決めました。結果、大正解！本当の達人ガイドの方にご案内をしていただきました。私は30年ぶりのシュノーケリングで残念ながらリタイアしてしまいましたが、波の力、汐の流れを充分楽しみました。娘はリーフの外側まで連れてい行っていただきウミガメには複数遭遇し、沢山の魚もいて写真もたくさん取ることができました。
また、リタイアした私も地上で、猫、鳩、鶏そしてマングースにまで会えました。
もうちょっと体力つけて再度チャレンジしたいと思います。

I participated with my mother and sister. My sister and I had some experience, but my mother, in her 70s, was a complete beginner. As I worried, her stamina didn't hold up, and unfortunately, she had to retire partway through. However, Alan and the female staff were kind enough to show us as much of the underwater world as possible, and it seems she enjoyed it. When I did it before, I only dipped my face in the shallow water, but this time, guided by the experienced Alan and his team, I was able to confidently go deeper and see colorful fish, schools of small fish, and even a sea turtle up close. It was an indescribably moving experience! I never thought I could see so much while snorkeling, and it truly became a wonderful memory. Alan's jokes were also a lot of fun! Thank you very much!

母と姉の３人で参加しました。姉と私は多少経験ありましたが、７０代の母は全くの初心者。
心配した通り体力が続かず、残念ながら途中でのリタイアとなりましたが、アランさんとスタッフの女性が親切に、出来るだけ海中を見せて下さり、楽しませて頂いたようです。私も、以前やった時は浅瀬でちょっと顔をつける程度でしたが、今回はベテランのアランさん達のガイドの元、安心して深いところまで行って、カラフルなお魚、小さな魚の群れ、そして海亀を近くで見ることが出来て、言葉に表せないほどの感動を味わえました！シュノーケリングでここまで見れると思わず、本当に良い思い出になりました。アランさんのジョークもとっても楽しかったです＾＾♪ありがとうございました！

Experience on the arrival date, October 2nd. 10/2　到着日の体験

Two grandmothers went on their honeymoon to Hawaii, 38 years ago and 36 years ago. They are mothers-in-law. On October 2nd, we arrived around 10:30 AM and participated in the "afternoon snorkeling at Hanauma Bay." One of the grandmothers had already experienced it twice in Guam. The other grandmother was trying it for the first time! "What should I do? I can't swim!" Don't worry, don't worry. After it was over, the feelings were beyond words—such emotion and excitement!!! Alan, the two grandmothers, and I held hands the whole time while snorkeling! Thank you for the moment when the mothers-in-law became the best of friends. And thank you to all the beautiful fish and sea turtles as well! Alan, please send me the underwater photos. I'm waiting!

A few hours after arriving in Hawaii, I joined a tour. Surprisingly, we were the only participants. The guide was very kind and spoke Japanese well! Along the way, we were able to see sea turtles and enjoyed about an hour of snorkeling! I was very satisfied! I would like to join again the next time I go to Hawaii.

It was a bit cold and I got seasick, but I had a great time seeing the sea turtles and rays. Our guide, Allyn, was kind, and there were other American tourists as well; he explained everything in both English and Japanese. He mentioned that he is from Washington DC and doesn't like cold weather, which is why he came to Hawaii. He also sent us the photos he took. I think this is a recommended tour.

少し寒くて波に酔いましたが、ウミガメもエイも見ることができて楽しかったです。

I was a complete beginner, but 全くの未経験者でしたが

Reviewed by: やっちゃん

I participated alone. My companions were a family of four from Hong Kong (living in New York) and a young couple from England. Alan, who is fluent in Japanese, and a Japanese woman named Fumio accompanied me. They taught me how to snorkel from scratch with such care that I felt at ease. Above all, Alan's guidance was excellent, and I think I saw over 50 different types of fish. We also swam alongside a sea turtle for quite a long time. I never expected to feel so safe and enjoy myself as a woman in her 50s.

　一人で参加しました。お連れさんは、香港出身の４人家族（ニューヨーク在住）とイギリスの若夫婦でした。日本語の達者なアランさんと、日本人の文緒さんと二人で見てくださいました。なんか、もったいないぐらい丁寧に一からシュノーケリングのやり方を教えてくれたので、安心できました。何より、アランさんの引率が素晴らしく、魚の種類も５０種？以上かなあと思えるほどでしたし、途中海亀にもかなり長い間付き合って泳げました。50代の女性一人でこんなに安心して楽しめるとは思いもよらなかったです。

Small Group Snorkel Tour with Personal Guide at Hanauma Bay [Open Soon]

Great snorkeling trip, really appreciated the individual attention & small group size

Reviewed by: Mikey94025

We knew that snorkeling at Hanauma bay was a public activity, but we wanted something that was "high touch" and could deal with any individual needs if they came up. This was definitely it and we were very satisfied. Group sizes are usually small, like 4, but ours was luckily just the 2 of us. Alan, the guide's pre-outing equipment instructions helped ensure that we could use the mask with the least problems and we always felt safe & accommodated. This was the best snorkeling experience I've had of the several we've done so far. We even saw a sea turtle for a bit nibbling around the coral and coming up for air!
