Hanauma Bay Snorkel Tour with Expert Guide & Waikiki Transportation

Easily the best snorkeling tour in Oahu

Reviewed by: Cory W

This is our 2nd time to vacation in Oahu and visited Hanauma both times. Our 2nd trip we decided to book an organized tour because our first experience wasn't too great. This tour was absolutely incredible! Can't say enough positive things about it but here we go:

1) The guide showed up to our hotel early which is so refreshing
2) He was super knowledgeable, kind and enjoyable to be around
3) Before the snorkeling tour, he was amazing with sharing information about how to do it and what to expect
4) They had the nicest and softest mask and fins equipment I've ever received on a snorkeling tour
5) The hour long tour was amazing and we saw tons of fish and even a turtle
6) He provided snacks and water afterwards
7) He patiently got us back to our hotel and just truly blew us away.

Very highly recommended!

Hanauma Bay Snorkeling ハナウマ湾シュノーケル

Reviewed by: ★★★

The snorkeling in the early morning had high water clarity and was very good. A seal also appeared and was very cute. By the time we were leaving, the sand was stirred up and it was a bit murky, so it was great to go in the morning.

Snorkeling equipment was included in the rental, but there was a mishap where the driver forgot to hand it to us. The entrance fee is paid collectively by the representative, so only cash is accepted. Please be aware of this.

朝一番でのシュノーケルで水の透明度が高くとても良かったです。アザラシも現れてとても可愛いかったです。
帰るころには砂が舞って少し濁っていたので朝一にしてとても良かったです。
シュノーケル等レンタルがついていましたが運転手さんが私達に渡し忘れるハプニングもありました。
入場料はまとめて代表者が払うので現金のみしかダメでした。ご注意下さい。

Amazing! I saw a lot of fish and turtles! 最高!たくさんの魚と亀が観られました!

Reviewed by: あんこまま

I participated with my 9-year-old child. Surprisingly, the water in the morning was quite cold, and it was advised to wear a wetsuit, which we rented, and that was accurate! We also rented prescription masks, and both my child, who has poor eyesight, and I were able to enjoy watching cute fish (we even saw schools of fish!) and turtles without feeling cold.

I suddenly became scared of the ocean after not snorkeling for a while and couldn't swim at first, but the instructor, Chieko, kindly held my hand and helped me swim. Another instructor, Dan, also gave gentle advice! As a professional, he took us around to spots where we could see fish. Dan also provided various guidance in Japanese during the car transfer.

In the end, it cost quite a bit, but it was definitely worth the money! We made wonderful memories of Hawaii! Thank you very much!

9歳の子供と2人で参加しました。
意外と朝の海の水は冷たく、ウェットスーツを着たほうが良いとのアドバイスで借りましたが、これが正確でした!
度付きマスクも借りて、目の悪い子供共々、寒さを感じることなく、かわいい魚(魚の群れも観られました!)と亀を観ることができました。
私は久しぶりのシュノーケリングに、急に海が怖くなり最初は泳げなかったのですが、インストラクターのチエコさんが優しく手を引いてくれ、泳ぐことができました。
同じくインストラクターのダンも優しくアドバイス!プロならでは!で、魚が観られるスポットを廻ってくれました。
ダンはクルマの送迎でも日本語で色々と案内してくれました。
結果的にお金は大分掛かりましたが、払うだけの価値は充分ありました!
よいハワイの思い出ができました!
本当にありがとうございました!

I participated in a snorkeling tour. It started with being picked up at the hotel, and everything went smoothly, allowing me to enjoy snorkeling at Hanauma Bay comfortably.

There were about 10 participants, and having two guides who spoke Japanese made me feel at ease.

The view at Hanauma Bay was amazing. Compared to the coral reefs in Japan (like Okinawa), the fish swimming there were larger and more dynamic.

Not very cost-effective for families with small children. 小さな子連れにはややコスパ悪い

Reviewed by: とびぃ

This was my first time participating in seven years, and this time I brought my children aged 2, 5, and 9. The parasol we rented couldn't be used due to strong winds. Well, that was the same as seven years ago.

I really wanted my 9-year-old son to succeed at snorkeling, but he got scared and gave up.

I think the shuttle service was around $45 seven years ago, but now the price is almost double.

Overall, I felt it wasn't suitable for families with small children, but since this is our family's situation, I will give it 4 stars.

7年ぶりの参加で、今回は2歳5歳9歳の子連れ。
せっかく借りたパラソルが強風で使えず。まあこれは7年前も同じ。

せめて9歳の長男はシュノーケリング成功させたかったけど、怖がって断念。

7年前はシャトルサービス45ドルくらいだったと思うが、今は値段がほぼ倍。

全体に、小さな子連れには不向きだと思いましたが、
これは我が家の事情なので、★4つにします。

The breathtaking Hanauma Bay. Since it's early in the morning, there are fewer people. 絶景のハナウマ湾 早朝だから人は少なめ

Reviewed by: ぺぺぺ

I booked a tour with pickup from a nearby hotel to Hanauma Bay.

For the pickup from the hotel, I communicated to several drivers who seemed to be part of different tours that I was participating in the Hanauma Bay tour and shared my name to find my driver.

The entrance to Hanauma Bay opens at 7 AM, so we waited in line until then. For some reason, one participant from our tour acted as the representative to manage the entrance fee collectively. I wondered what would happen if this person ran away, but they managed to pay without issue.

Although it wasn't us, other tour participants were renting additional life jackets, but the driver said, "It's not on the rental list, so if you pay in cash now, I'll give you the life jackets." Since they couldn't communicate in English, I stepped in to negotiate on their behalf, and reluctantly, the driver handed over the life jackets.

Hanauma Bay was absolutely stunning. Since it was early in the morning, there were fewer people, and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

There is a place to store valuables at Hanauma Bay, so I left cash and other items there, keeping only my phone and the key to the valuables box in a waterproof case around my neck. I left towels on the beach, but they were safe. I think it's better to clean up a bit earlier than the meeting time since there are few showers available.

近くのホテルからハナウマ湾までの送迎付きのツアーを予約しました。

近くのホテルからのピックアップは、何人かのツアーのドライバーらしき人に、ハナウマ湾のツアーに参加している旨と名前を伝えて、ドライバーを見つけました。

ハナウマ湾の入り口が朝7時に開くので、それまで列に並んで待機でした。入園料は何故か、そのツアーの参加者の1名が代表者となり、まとめて管理してました。この人が逃げたらどうするんだと思いましたが、無事払ってくれました。

私達ではありませんが、他のツアー参加者がライフジャケットを追加でレンタルしていたのですが、ドライバーは、"レンタルリストに無いから現金で今払えばライフジャケットを渡す"と言っていました。英語でコミュニケーションできない方々でしたので、代わりに私が間に入って交渉したら渋々ライフジャケットを渡してくれました。

ハナウマ湾は絶景で最高でした。
早朝だったこともあり人も少なく満喫しました。

ハナウマ湾には貴重品を預ける所があるので、現金等は預けて、携帯と貴重品ボックスの鍵だけ防水ケースに入れて首からぶら下げてました。
タオル等は浜に置きっぱなしでしたが、無事でした。
シャワーの数が少ないので、集合時間よりも少し早めに片付けた方が良いと思います。

Hanauma Bay snorkeling with the Japanese guide. ハワイ 日本語カイドさんと行くハナウマ湾シュノーケリング

Reviewed by: Y.U

It was a long-awaited trip to Hawaii with my daughter. She wanted to go to Hanauma Bay, which we visited many times when she was a child, so I tried to access the Hanauma Bay entrance site at 7 AM two days ago to make a reservation. However, as I was entering the information, the availability quickly disappeared, so I signed up with Veltra.

The price felt a bit high, but once we participated, we were impressed by the guide's thorough information and they took us to the outer reef, which we would have been worried about going to on our own. We encountered three sea turtles and had a wonderful time.

On the way back, we also received recommendations for nearby restaurants and local information, which made us very satisfied. During snorkeling, the guide was present both in front and behind our group, allowing us to enjoy it with peace of mind. I was also really pleased to receive the photos the guide took from Facebook.

If you're hesitating to sign up, I absolutely recommend it!

娘と久々のハワイの旅でした。
子供の頃に何度も行ってたハナウマ湾に行きたいと娘が言うので、2日前の朝7時からのハナウマ湾入場のサイトにアクセスして取ろうと思ったのですが、入力してるうちにみるみる空きが無くなってしまい、ベルトラさんに申し込みました。
料金は少し高い気がしたのですが、参加してみたらガイドさんの丁寧なインフォメーションと、自分達では行くのが心配になるリーフの外まで案内して頂き、ウミガメ3匹と遭遇
素晴らしい時間を過ごしました
帰りがけにも、ホテルに近いオススメのレストランや現地の情報も頂き、とても満足しました。
シュノーケリングの最中もグループの前後に、ガイドさんがいて下さるので、安心して楽しめました。ガイドさんが撮って下さった写真もFacebookから頂けて本当に満足しております。

申し込もうかと迷ってる、絶対おすすめです‼️

Hanauma Bay Snorkel Tour with Expert Guide & Waikiki Transportation

Best experience forever

Reviewed by: Zhang

I attended this tour with my mom, who is over 50 years old and does not know swimming at all. My mom was quite excited and worried about this tour, and was about to quit at the very first start, while Dan told us not to nervous, taught us how to breath with our mouth and even a little swim skills. After that, my mom and I succeeded to finish this tour and we saw a lot of different fish with Dan’s guide. That was fun. We really appreciate Dan for giving us such a perfect snorkeling experience, will try again when we visit Oahu again in the future, hope we could do better next time :D)))

Much easier than making individual arrangements! 個人手配より圧倒的に楽!

Reviewed by: はなまる

Normally, you need to reserve tickets individually two days before the desired date, but considering the risks of not being able to secure them and the travel involved, I applied for this tour. During the summer vacation period, if you go for the morning session, there can be long traffic jams due to people hoping to buy same-day tickets. If I had gone individually, there would have been many confusing situations, so I’m really glad I went on the tour. Since it was in the morning, the water temperature was low, and I rented a wetsuit for $10. Thanks to that, even someone like me who gets cold easily was able to enjoy the experience fully. I didn’t see any sea turtles, but it was sunny with high visibility, and I was able to see a lot of fish, which was great. The guide was very knowledgeable, and the smooth guidance provided a sense of security, which was very good.

本来であれば参加希望日2日前に個人でチケット予約しなければいけないのですが、うまく取れないリスクや移動のことも考えこちらを申込ました。
夏休みの時期は午前の部の場合ですと当日券目当てに長い渋滞が発生します。
個人でもし行っていたら色々混乱しそうな場面が多かったのでツアーで行って本当に良かったです。
午前ということもあり水温は低く、10ドルのスーツをレンタルしました。おかげさまで寒がりの私でもフルで楽しめました。
海ガメは見れませんでしたが晴れていて透明度が高く、魚がたくさん見れて良かったです。
ガイドさんの知識が豊富なのと案内がスムーズで安心感がありとても良かったです。

Hanauma Bay Snorkeling ハナウマ湾シュノーケル

Reviewed by: なっつ

In the early morning at Hanauma Bay, I never expected it to be this cold. I did go into the water once, but it was so cold that I gave up quickly. I was really shocked that there were hardly any fish around. When I visited in the past, it was in the afternoon, so it was warm and there were plenty of fish to enjoy! Is there no tour available in the afternoon? I felt that it has become increasingly difficult to enter Hanauma Bay lately. The driver was kind and stopped by Leonard's Kitchen for us on the way back.

Reviewed by: KATSU

Just considering the line of cars waiting from early morning and the queue for entry, you can already see the value of the tour. There’s no competition for reservations, making it easy to plan. Additionally, there are some insider tips, and the specialists share insights about the highlights and features of Hanauma Bay that we would never discover or experience on our own. For those who are familiar with Hanauma Bay and may visit multiple times in the future, I highly recommend experiencing this at least once. The ocean is truly wonderful, as are the two of you. Until we meet again, mahalo.

早朝から順番待ちの車の列と、入園待ちの列を考えたら、それだけでもツアーの価値が分かります。予約争奪戦も有りませんので、予定が立てやすい。更に裏ワザがちらほらあり、見どころスポやハナウマ湾の特徴などの、スペシャリストだから知る物を教えて下さり、私たちだけ頑張っても決して分からない、体験出来ない経験です。ハナウマ湾へ行きなれた、これからも複数回行くかも知れない人は、1度体験をオススメします。とても素晴らしい海とお二人です。またお会いする日までマハロ

I cannot express how grateful I am for Dan and this snorkel tour! My son is autistic and was struggling with understanding the equipment and started to panic. Dan very calmly and kindly took him under his wing. Before we knew it, my son was the leader of the pack! I even got a little seasick and Dan (without judgment) helped me back to the beach to rest.

Reviewed by: tom

It's an early morning tour, so snorkeling starts at 9 AM. Even in Hawaii, it's cold. It was that cold in June, so winter will be even colder. If possible, a thin wetsuit is recommended; if not, a long-sleeve rash guard is essential. Also, please make sure to wear marine shoes in areas with lots of fish. Additionally, no Japanese is spoken at all, and all pickup locations and times are in English, so those who can't speak English might want to reconsider.

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

A Relaxing Float in a Volcanic Cone

Reviewed by: Raya

Worst part was getting up for a 5:50am shuttle pick-up. But it was well worth it. Our shuttle was full and there were more instructions at the top of the Bay, where gear rental was distributed and we were placed into manageable groups for the ticket office. But the organizers knew what they were doing, kept track of everyone, despite confusing looks on some of our faces (mine!). Plenty of room at the beach; clean basic facilities. Information booth was staffed by very knowledgeable and helpful guides. I noticed a long line at the locker & gear rental. In the past 10 years of 4 snorkeling trips (I'm obviously not avid), Hanauma Bay comes in 3rd as far as plentiful ocean life.* Maybe because of climate change, 10 years ago was the last of the best of snorkeling? Glad I went though. I was going to skip it because of the tourism. But the agencies in charge struck the best balance possible for an endangered reef and we humans who want to pay our respects to Kanaloa and Pele, for the beautiful gifts they bestowed.

The Japanese guide provided commentary about Hawaii during the transfer, making it enjoyable from start to finish without any dull moments!

However, there are no breaks, so it might require some stamina...
(Of course, the guide will suggest going to the beach together if it gets too tough, and you can take a break from there.)

If you're not confident in your English or have concerns, I absolutely recommend this plan!

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>

Finally, the long-awaited Hanauma Bay snorkeling! 念願のハナウマ湾シュノーケル❗️

Reviewed by: fumiko

The long-awaited snorkeling at Hanauma Bay was amazing! Although it was rainy in the early morning, by the time we arrived at the site, the rain had stopped, and the sky gradually brightened. By the second half of the snorkeling, we were greeted with beautiful blue skies!

Light was shining through the water, and I was thrilled to see a variety of colorful fish of all sizes! Unfortunately, I couldn't find any turtles, but I was surprised to see a large seal lounging on the beach! I thought it was wonderful that both the fish and the seals were completely unafraid of people. This must be due to the strong spirit of animal protection among the people of Hawaii!

The two guides were also very kind, which made for a reassuring experience. Thank you!

念願のハナウマ湾シュノーケルが出来て最高でした❗️早朝は雨模様だったのですが、現場に到着する頃には雨もやみ、だんだん明るい空になってきて、シュノーケルの後半には綺麗な青空が‼️
水の中にも光がさしてきて、色とりどりの、大小さまざまな魚がたくさん見れて大満足でした!
亀は残念ながら探し出せませんでしたが、大きなアザラシがビーチの上にドーンと寝転んでいたのにはびっくり‼️魚もそうですが、アザラシも全く人を警戒していないのは素晴らしいことだと思いました。
日頃からハワイの方々の動物愛護の精神が徹底されているからこそでしょう!
ガイドのお二人もとても親切で安心して過ごすことが出来ました!ありがとうございました。

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>

I had a great time in the shallow waters. 浅瀬で楽しめました

I found it difficult to make a reservation myself, so I joined a tour. The guide spoke English and worked hard to translate, which made me feel at ease. This was my fifth time at Hanauma Bay, and I was able to enjoy plenty of time playing with the tropical fish in the shallow waters among the coral reefs.

自分では、予約が難しいのでツアーに参加。ガイドさんが 英語でしたが、
一生懸命 翻訳してくれて 安心できました。ハナウマ湾は、5回目でしたが
浅瀬がサンゴ礁のため 熱帯魚とたっぷり遊べました。

That's unfortunate. 残念

Reviewed by: キーマ

I participated on Tuesday, and I had heard it was the most beautiful day, but the waves were high and the water was murky. There's nothing that can be done about luck, so it's unfortunate.

火曜日の参加だったので、一番きれいだと聞いていましたが、波が立っていて海中が濁ってしまいました。
こればっかりは運なので仕方ないですが残念でした。
