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 recommend it. おすすめです

Reviewed by: hiroko

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 
ありがとうございました。

Honu, honu, honu! (^o^) ホヌ・ホヌ・ホヌね(^o^)

Reviewed by: IKEDA

With Alan's guidance, I was able to experience snorkeling for almost the first time with peace of mind. It was a windy day and a bit chilly, but I was hopeful to see a sea turtle, and to my surprise, I encountered three of them! I don't think I would have seen them if I hadn't joined the tour. It was an amazing experience. Thank you, Alan!

アランさんのガイドで、ほぼ初めてのシュノーケルでも、安心して体験することが出来ました。風が強い日で、少し寒かったですが、見れたらいいなと期待していた海カメさん、なんと三回も会うことができました!ツアーに参加してなければ、見れなかったと思います。感激の体験でした。アランさんありがとうございます。

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>

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!

  • ハナウマ湾、眺めるだけでも素敵です⭐️

  • ホヌさん登場

  • 触れそうなほど近くに来てくれました!もちろんお触り厳禁ですが。笑

  • お初にお目にかかります。

  • アザラシと泳ぐなんて一生に一度かも⁉︎

I had a wonderful experience. すばらしい体験ができました

Reviewed by: Ayako

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.

Reviewed by: 大好きハワイ

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。

The guide was great! ガイドさんが良い!

Reviewed by: aaa

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。

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 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。

  • 簡易水中用ケースの枠が写ってしまいましたが、きれいな湾でした。結局簡易ケースだったので水中では使わず。次回までには専用ケースを準備したい。

I go to Hawaii every year. I have snorkeled at Hanauma Bay twice and scuba dived once. However, this time was the most fun! I was amazed at how wonderful the underwater scenery was with the guidance of an expert guide. This trip was with friends, and one of them was experiencing snorkeling for the first time. At first, she was scared and her face was tense, but as the guide held her hand, she started to smile, and by the end, she said she wanted to go snorkeling again soon. I'm grateful to the experienced and kind guide.

We participated as a couple. I was worried because I can hardly swim, but there was a Japanese woman on staff who said, "It's okay!" Since I was wearing a sturdy life jacket, I didn't sink, and even though I couldn't swim, I could move my arms and legs slowly to move forward. I was able to thoroughly enjoy the scenery underwater, even as someone who can't swim. I didn't have to wait in the long line when entering, and I wished I could have relaxed a bit more on the beach, but I was very satisfied with the snorkeling. I want to go again.

Reviewed by: 三丁目

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。
日本語の達者なガイドさん(名前を聞き忘れ)も、楽しく丁寧で、写真もたくさん撮ってくれ、なんと帰国してメールを見ると御礼と共に何枚もの写真が添付されており(勿論ホヌもありました)、舞い上がりました。
同行の方もシュノーケルは始めてのようで、お互いに感激してこのツアーを堪能した次第です。

It was amazing! ☆ 最高でした☆

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。

Reviewed by: pop-peemama

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!

Reviewed by: 夫婦旅行_2013

This time, I brought my wife, who was trying snorkeling for the first time, and I felt a bit anxious. Surprisingly, we were the only participants. The guide was very kind and spoke Japanese well! Our expert guide, Allyn, was a great person who provided excellent instruction. We encountered many fish and even got to swim with a sea turtle. We thoroughly enjoyed snorkeling and were very satisfied! I would like to participate again the next time we go to Hawaii. Thank you very much.

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>

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

Reviewed by: ばば、2人の挑戦

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.

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>

It was interesting. 面白かったです

Reviewed by: No.9

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。
ガイドのAllynさんは親切で、他にアメリカのツアー客の方もいたのですが英語と日本語で交互に説明してくれました。ワシントンDC出身で寒いところが苦手でハワイに来たとおっしゃってました。撮った写真も送ってくれました。

We participated with our family of four on September 3rd. This time, we brought my parents who were trying snorkeling for the first time, so we were a bit anxious and decided to go with a guide. Our guide, Alan, was a great person, and although my mother panicked during her first snorkeling experience, he provided excellent guidance, and we encountered many fish and even a sea turtle. Thank you very much!

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!

Hanauma is the best! ♪♪ ハナウマ最高♪♪

Reviewed by: yuka

A few years ago, I visited Hanauma, but at that time, there were no instructors, so I just ended up with the impression of a beautiful sea. This time, as I was going to Hawaii, I looked at this site and wondered, "Were there sea turtles in that sea?" But I thought, if an expert is guiding us, then I would surely get to see them!! I decided to participate. The expert, Alan, was great at Japanese and had a wonderful sense of American humor!! I encountered sea turtles a total of six times (laughs). I heard that there are times when you can't see them, though... I also got to see beautiful schools of fish!! I'm really glad I participated♪♪ When I visit Hawaii again, I will definitely use this service. Thank you so much, Alan (*^^*)

数年前にハナウマにきたことがありましたが、その時はインストラクターもいなかったためキレイな海という印象で終わりました。今回ハワイに行くにあたり、このサイトを見て『あの海に海ガメがいたんだっけ?』と 不思議に思いましたが、達人が案内してくれるなら会えるんだろう!!と考え参加しました。達人Alanは日本語も上手で、アメリカンジョークも冴える素晴らしい人でした!!海ガメとの遭遇は計6回(笑)会えない時もあるそうですが…。キレイな魚の群れにも会えました!!参加して本当に良かったです♪♪またハワイへ訪れる時は、利用させて頂きます。Alan 本当にありがとう(*^^*)

Even a mother and daughter who are not good at swimming were fine. 泳ぎが苦手な母娘でも大丈夫でした

Reviewed by: EMI

Both my 19-year-old daughter and I are not good swimmers, so we were anxious about participating, but the instructor held our hands and swam with us, which made us feel safe and allowed us to enjoy the experience. The underwater scenery was beautiful, and we even encountered four sea turtles, making it feel like we were swimming together. We were also surprised that we spent about 60 minutes diving. I definitely want to participate again.

私も19歳の娘も泳ぎが苦手で、参加するのが不安でしたが、インストラクターの方がずっと手を引いて泳いでくれたので、安心して楽しめました。海中はとてもキレイで、なんと4匹の海ガメにも出会え、まるで一緒に泳いでいるようでした。約60分も潜っていた事にも驚きです。是非、もう一度参加したいです。

Several instructors accompanied us, and they were very kind. As expected from professionals, they found sea turtles and showed them to us. I definitely couldn't have done it alone! They kindly taught me, even as a beginner in snorkeling, and I became quite skilled. The instructors were truly kind, and I am very satisfied. Thank you very much.

何人かのインストラクターさんが付き添ってくれて、すごく親切でした。さすがプロなのでウミガメを見つけて、見せてくれました。一人では絶対に無理でした!

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

Snorkel with the sea turtles!!!

Reviewed by: Moe

First of all, Allen our instructor was very cool. We felt right at home and we got lucky that we had only 1 other family with us so we got great lessons. The views of hanauma bay is like something from a postcard!!! The snorkeling is so amazing and we even got to swim with turtles!! This is a must too because the line to get in is long but with Allen we went right to the front. First class service for sure. Most important thing: underwater camera we bought the best on the market just for this reason and it was so worth it!!

I had a great time. 満喫しました

Reviewed by: keiko

As soon as we arrived, we watched a video, changed, and went snorkeling. We quickly learned the basics of breathing and how to position ourselves in the water before setting off. At first, I thought the time would be short, but it was more than enough. The snorkel was new and of the type that doesn't let water in from above, so it was very easy to use. We encountered a turtle just as we surfaced and were able to see it up close. We also saw some humuhumunukunukuapua'a! Later, the guide told us we swam from one end to the other. The schools of fish were breathtakingly beautiful. I thoroughly enjoyed Hanauma Bay! Thank you very much.

着いてすぐにビデオを見て、(←英語なのでよくわからない)着替え、シュノーケリング。基本的な呼吸の仕方や海での体勢の整え方などを簡単に習って出発。初め、時間は短いかと思ってましたが、十分でした。シュノーケルは新しく、水が上から入ってこないタイプだったので、とてもやりやすかったです。ちょうど海面に上がってくるカメと遭遇し、間近で見ることができました。フムフムも見れました!後からガイドさんに聞いたら、端から端まで泳いだとのこと。魚の群れは感動するほど美しかったです。ハナウマ湾、満喫できました!ありがとうございました。

I participated with my husband and two children. The guide was great, and we were very satisfied to see the turtles. There was mention of a light meal, but it was more like snacks, so I think it would be better to clarify that.

I recommend it. お薦めです

Reviewed by: とむとむ

We participated as a family of four (husband, wife, a second-year middle school student, and a third-year elementary school student). At the entrance to Hanauma Bay, we were able to enter without waiting in line, and the tram fare to the beach was included.

What I appreciated the most was that, typically, without a guide, we wouldn't have gone as far as the middle of the bay, but they took us there. We were able to see sea turtles swimming as well.

There were some waves along the way, and my third-grade daughter was scared, but the instructor, a woman who assisted guide Alan, provided a lot of support, which was very helpful. Thank you very much.

家族四人で参加しました(夫婦、中学2年、小学3年)。
ハナウマ湾の入口では行列せずに入場できること、また、海岸までのトラム代も入っています。
なによりよかったのは、通常、ガイド無しであれば、こんなところまで行かないと思われる、湾の半ば付近まで案内してくれたことです。ウミガメが泳いでいるのも見られました。
途中、少し波があり、小学3年の娘が怖がっていたのですが、ガイドのアランさんのヘルプをする、インストラクターの女性の方がかなりサポートしてくださったので、助かりました。ありがとうございました。
