I have visited Hanauma Bay on my own many times, but this time I participated in a snorkeling guide tour for the first time. They secured the entrance tickets, which are difficult to book, and we were able to enter right away. Just that alone made me feel it was worth joining the tour, but what really impressed me was the snorkeling guide. When I snorkeled on my own, I wasn't sure how far I could safely go or where to find different fish. However, during the one-hour tour, I was able to see many fish that you can only see in deeper waters in Okinawa, and I was very satisfied. The Hanauma Bay I experienced with the guide was completely different from what I had seen before. I'm really glad I participated!
If I could wish for something, I would have liked to snorkel longer, so I hope there will be a tour that allows for a bit more snorkeling time, even with breaks. I would love to do this again. It was a bit chilly, so I recommend renting a wetsuit. Getting underwater photos was also a great memory!
何度もハナウマ湾には自力で来ていましたが、今回初めてシュノーケリングガイドのツアーに参加しました。
予約が難しい入場券もとって頂き、入場もすぐに入れ、それだけでもツアーに参加して良かったと思いましが、感動したのはシュノーケリングのガイドでした。個人でシュノーケリングしていた時は、どこまでは安全にシュノーケリングできるのか?どこにどんな魚がいるのか?良くわからなかったのですが、1時間の間で、沖縄だとダイビングしないと浅瀬では見られない様な魚を沢山みることができ、とっても満足しました。ガイドの方について見たハナウマ湾は、今まで見ていたものとは大違い。本当に参加して良かったです!
欲を言えば、もっと沢山シュノーケリングしたかったので、休憩をはさんでもう少し長くシュノーケリングできるツアーがあれば良いなとおもいました。またリピートしたいです。少し肌寒かったので、ウェットスーツレンタルお勧めです。水中の記念写真を撮ってもらえたのも良い思い出になりました!

I boarded with my two small children, and it didn't rock too much, so the kids had a great time! The view was completely different from what we usually see from the beach; we could see beautiful beaches, the airport, and even the commercial buildings of Hawaii from halfway across the island. I want to participate again!
小さな子供2人を連れて乗船しましたが、そこまで揺れず、子供も楽しめました!
いつもビーチから見る風景とは全然違い、美しいビーチや、空港、ハワイの商業ビルまで島の半分側から全て見渡せるほどでした。
また参加したいです!

It's been decades since I last rode a catamaran, and since there was no sunset time setting, we boarded during the day. Even those who are weak on boats can enjoy it without worry. I knew the front would get splashed, but there were unexpected big waves. One of my companions' phones ended up submerged. It needed repairs right after returning home.
Seeing Waikiki from the sea while being blown by the wind allows you to spend a wonderful time. I got a good sunburn in those two hours, so make sure to take proper sun protection measures.
何十年ぶりのカタマラン、サンセットタイムの設定がなかったので昼に乗船
船に弱い人でも安心して楽しめます。前のほうは波をかぶることわかっていたのに、予想外の大波。同行者の携帯が水没状態。帰国後すぐに修理でした。

I will be simple and straight, please see my following points.
1. I booked sit down dinner, not buffet, overall food presentation look good, taste good too. Drinks are good too.
2. Service is just so so, the server for my table never gets me things I asked for, example, refill water, lemon, and my second glass of drink, I understand it's a busy task and have to serve all plates and take finishing plates away, and each server takes care of couple tables, but this should not be used as an excuse for service quality.
3. The show is good, but it's kind short, I wish we can see the full stage of Luau show, but the center stage is pretty small, so in order to accommodate every guest, they always have couple dancers on each side,

I participated yesterday on my honeymoon. I was grateful that they taught my wife and me how to use the Segway with great care and attention.

The meeting place is the Aloha Landing bus stop at Sheraton Waikiki (I waited on the bench in front of the Plumeria wall). It seems that a location close to the hotel you are staying at is chosen. I had read articles that if you are even a little late overseas, you can be left behind, so I arrived 20 minutes early to stand by. I noticed a group of people dressed similarly (in clothes that could get dirty), so I approached them and found out they were gathering for the bus to Kualoa Ranch. (There was no announcement from the attendants, though.) I was asked to show my passport or credit card for identification, and I was able to board the bus without any issues!
I had read other people's experiences and watched YouTube posts beforehand, so I was well-prepared for the details of the tour and dust protection. Although I couldn't take photos in front of the iconic tree from Jurassic World as shown in the tour photos (I knew this in advance, so I wasn't oddly disappointed), I was able to take plenty of pictures at other shooting points. My favorite photo is one where I used perspective with a dinosaur figure!
The explanations are all in English, but the guides were friendly and full of humor, so even those of us who don't understand English had a great time. I was advised to wear long pants, but I participated in shorts, and it was no problem at all. Regarding the dust, the upper body gets quite dirty. I had purchased a T-shirt at ABC Store the day before, ready to throw it away, and that was a great decision.
Goggles and a neck warmer (both of which can be borrowed at the reception) are essential during the ride! Including travel time and experience time, it takes about half a day to a full day, but both my husband and I were very satisfied and glad we participated in the tour!
集合場所はシェラトンワイキキのアロハランディングバス乗り場(プルメリアの壁の前のベンチで待ちました)泊まっているホテルから近い場所がチョイスされるみたいです。海外では少しでも遅れると置いて行かれるとの記事を読んでいたので、集合の20分前には到着しスタンバイ。気付いたら似たような格好(汚れてもいいような服装)の人たちの集団があったので、近寄ったらクアロア牧場行きのバスの集まりでした。(アテンド係の声掛けはありませんでした汗)本人確認のためにパスポートかクレジットカードの提示を求められ、無事バス乗車!
事前に他の方の体験談を読んだりyoutebeの体験投稿を見て行ったのでツアーの詳細や砂埃の対策も充分にしていきました。ツアー写真にあるような、theジュラシックワールドの大木、看板の前での写真撮影は出来ませんでしたが(事前に知っていたので変にがっかりする事もありませんでした)その他の撮影ポイントでしっかり写真撮影出来ました。特に恐竜の人形を遠近法を使って撮った写真がお気に入りです!
説明は全て英語で行われますが、ガイドの方は気さくでユーモアに溢れている方たちで英語が分からない私たちでも十分に楽しめました。
服装は長ズボンで、ことでしたが半ズボンで参加しました。全く問題ありませんでした。砂埃の汚れについてですが、上半身はかなり汚れます。私は前日にABCストアでTシャツを捨てる覚悟で購入していたのですが、大正解でした。
走行中はゴーグル・ネックウォーマー?(←いずれも受付で貸してもらえます)が必須!!
移動時間、体験時間含めて半日〜1日はかかりますが、それでも参加して良かったと夫婦共に大満足なツアーでした!!

The scenery was absolutely stunning. There was a bit of rain during our visit, but it might have helped reduce the dust. The staff's stories were interesting, but it was a shame that I couldn't understand enough English. There are many filming locations from movies, so watching and familiarizing yourself with films like Jurassic Park, Jumanji, and Kong beforehand might enhance your experience.
とにかく景色が最高でした。私たちの時は途中少し雨がパラついたのですが、その分埃が少なくなってくれたかもしれません。スタッフの話も面白かったのですが、英語が十分に理解できなかったのは残念です。とにかく映画のロケ地が多いので、事前にジュラシックパーク、ジュマンジ、コングなどを見て覚えておくともっと楽しめるかも。

Experience was easily worth it for the money. Many other tour options in the area, but this one easily is the best for the price. The included photos & videos to allow you to be in the moment is a fantastic plus that I wish every company did for experiences like this. It allows you to still remember it without having cameras all over the place.I also highly recommend you forgo cage diving & instead do this type, it is a better experience.
The crew was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful & friendly. You can tell they love the experience & getting people to overcome their fears & have a great time. At no time during the whole swim did I feel unsafe. The divers did a great job of keeping everyone together & in a good area, and communicating necessary instructions. They did a remarkable job showcasing how misunderstood sharks are & once you get out swimming with them, it really does become apparent how calm they can be. They’re just as curious of us as we are of them.
I would do this experience again in a heartbeat.

I was able to make a reservation the day before, and the pickup location and time were emailed to me right away, which was reassuring. I had heard that there could be trouble if you don't know the meeting place, but it was clear at the ABC Store, so there were no issues.
About 30 of us boarded the bus, and we left Waikiki, arriving at the pier in 45 minutes. There, a Japanese staff member joined us and provided a helpful explanation in advance. On the boat, we also enjoyed live music.
The activities included snorkeling, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding, and I was satisfied to have about two hours to use freely. However, since it was "do as you please," beginners should learn how to do each activity in advance.
About a quarter of the participants were Japanese. The staff were all friendly, and it was a fulfilling experience without any feelings of loneliness. I highly recommend it.
前日に予約がとれましたが、ピックアップの場所と時間は直ぐにメールされたので安心。待ち合わせの場所がわからずトラブルになるケースかあると聞いていましたが、ABCストア前でお店のナンバーが明快だったのでトラブルなし。

I was thrilled to be able to do SUP for the first time in my dream destination, Waikiki. The location was excellent, and it was just a short walk from the neighboring Sheraton.
My family and I had a private lesson for two, and we started by learning how to stand and paddle easily on land before heading straight to the ocean. We practiced standing up and paddling alternately.
Since we didn't wear life vests, it was surprisingly tough to swim back up every time we fell in. After a few tries, we were able to stand up, and the instructor ended up paddling off on his own. (laughs)
In the end, it was a 60-minute lesson, but I reached my physical limit after about 45 minutes and ended up sitting on the board, drifting with the waves.
憧れのワイキキで初めてのSUPができて感激でした。とにかく立地がよく、となりのシェラトンからも歩いてすぐなのがよかったです。
家族と2名でプライベートレッスンでしたが、最初は陸で簡単に立ち方や漕ぎ方を習い、すぐに海へ。
2人交互に立ち上がり漕ぐ練習をします。
ライフベストは着用しないので、落水する度に泳いで這い上がるのが意外としんどく、何度かそれぞれ立てるようになるとインストラクターの方も勝手にスイスイ漕いでどっか行ってしまいました。笑
結局60分のレッスンでしたが45分くらいで体力は限界に。板に座って波を漂ってました。
Thank you for the 4-star review, Kunio. The life vest can be cumbersome while paddling and makes it even more difficult to climb back onto the board from the water. Sitting on the board and paddling through the waves is also great practice. We look forward to your next visit.

This is my third time on the boat, and I really recommend it. This time, I was worried about the high waves because it was a windy day, but the wind felt nice, and out at sea, they turned off the engine and used only the sails, allowing us to enjoy the calm environment with the ocean and Diamond Head.
There were not many Japanese people, and it was fun to see everyone having a great time. I highly recommend the Mai Tai!

I was able to drive with my Japanese license. Along the way, we stopped at 4 to 5 locations where we took off our helmets and received explanations about the stunning viewpoints, and we also took photos. It's possible to switch drivers as a couple, so I recommend registering for that during the initial application.
It was my first time driving a buggy. Since the accelerator and brake were out of reach with the seatbelt on, I placed my left foot on top of the tire cover and drove at an angle, which worked fine.
As a recommendation, the sand dust is quite intense, so wearing white shirts, pants, or bags is a no-go. Although it’s hot, I recommend something like a windbreaker made of crinkly fabric.

We participated in a tour starting at noon with our family of four. We took a shuttle bus to Kualoa Ranch, and upon arrival, there was an explanation in English. After that, a staff member who spoke Japanese provided explanations for Japanese guests, and we received a different voucher from the one we had at the time of booking. When it was time, we showed our voucher, got equipped with helmets, watched a driving instruction video in Japanese, and then boarded the buggies.
We couldn't drive freely; instead, we followed a few buggies led by a guide, traveling at a maximum speed of 20 kilometers per hour. Occasionally, we were gestured to close the gap between vehicles. There were several stops where we could get off the buggies for explanations and photo opportunities. However, all the explanations were in English, so I could only understand bits and pieces. I thought it would have been better if I had known more about Kualoa's geography and history in advance.
We skipped the area that seemed to have been used for filming Jurassic Park. If you want to get off and take photos in such places, I think the Jurassic Park tour would be better. My father, who wasn't used to driving on the left side, tended to veer to the right, which was a bit nerve-wracking. But he seemed to get used to it after a while.
Driving the buggy was pleasant and fun, but we ended up covered in dust. Our clothes, bags, and shoes were all dusty. I recommend wearing clothes and carrying bags that you don't mind getting dirty, and either leaving them in a locker or putting them in a plastic bag. After getting off the buggy, I was shocked when I looked in the mirror at the handwashing station. There was sand in the gap between my helmet and goggles, creating a line of dust on my eyebrows and forehead, making for a funny look. You won't feel refreshed unless you wash your face thoroughly.
I wouldn't recommend going out right after the buggy tour. We took a shower, changed clothes, and went out to eat. After finishing the buggy ride around 2 PM, I planned to eat at Kualoa, but by that time, the hot dogs and other food were sold out. Since I was hungry, I only had ice cream. I wonder if the morning tours are better. I also considered the horseback riding tour, so I would like to try that next time.
家族4人で12時からのツアーに参加しました。
シャトルバスでクアロア牧場までいき、着いたら英語での説明でしたが、その後日本人用に日本語の話せすスタッフの方から説明があり、予約時のバウチャーとは別のバウチャーが渡されました。時間がきたらバウチャーをみせて、メットなどを装備してもらい、日本人用の運転の説明動画を見て、バギーに乗り込みました。好き勝手に走れるわけでなく、ガイドの方が運転する先頭のバギーに何台か連なり最高速度20キロで走行。たまに車間を狭めろとジェスチャーが。何箇所かバギーを降りて説明と写真の時間があります。
しかし、全て英語での説明なので断片的にしかわからず。事前にもっとクアロアの地のこと、歴史などを知っていれば良かったかなと思いました。
最後の方のジュラシックパークの撮影で使ったようなものがいっぱいあるところはスルーでした。
そういうところで降りて写真をとったりしたいならジュラシックパークのツアーのがよいかと思います。
左ハンドルに慣れていない父は右側に寄りがちで
少しひやっと。でもしばらくしたら慣れたようです。
バギーでの走行は気持ちよく、楽しかったです。
ただ全身砂埃まみれになります。
洋服、バッグ、靴まで砂まみれ。ホントに汚れてもよい服装、バッグはロッカーに預けるか、ビニールとかに入れることをおすすめします。
バギーを降りて、手洗い場で鏡を見てびっくり。
顔のメットとゴーグルの隙間に砂が。
眉毛とおでこに砂埃のラインができ、
おもしろ顔に仕上がってました。
顔丸洗いしないとさっぱりしません。
バギーのツアーのあと、そのまま出かけるのはおすすめできないです。シャワー浴びて服を着替えてご飯を食べに出かけました。
2時過ぎバギーが終わってから、クアロアでご飯を食べるつもりでしたが、その時間ではホットドッグなどの食べ物にSOLDOUTの表示が。
お腹が空いていたので、アイスだけ食べました。
午前中とかのツアーのが良かったのでしょうかね。
乗馬のツアーも迷ったので次回は乗馬でまわってみたいです。

The only other ways to get to this beautiful gem is to rent a kayak and row your way here (appx 45mins each way, with no wind) or with another tour boat company. In Hawaii, the only way to a private boat is if you know someone who owns a boat, or if you are military (where you can rent the boat, but in Honolulu area).
I always enjoyed the going out to Kaneohe Bay with OSA.

At the entrance, there was someone who spoke Japanese and provided various explanations. Although the price included the paid bodyboarding attraction that I had researched before participating, it was closed. The staff at the entrance also said, "Please participate, it's really fun," but it was closed. I wondered why. I felt like I wanted a discount for that. (Especially since my child was looking forward to it.) Other than that, it was the same as the last time I participated; perhaps because it was a weekday, they opened the neighboring attractions in order.
入口には日本語が話せる方がいて、色々と説明して頂けました。
参加前に調べて頂いたボディーボードの有料アトラクション込みの料金なのにクローズでした。
入口のスタッフの方も、是非たのしいので参加してみてください。と言っていたのに クローズ。なぜ?と思いました。
なら、その分の値段を引いてもらいたいなぁと思ってしまうぐらいでした。
(子供が楽しみにしていたので余計)
それ以外は、以前も参加した時と同じ様に平日の為か隣同士のアトラクションを順番で開けていました。

I had a wonderful time with people from various countries. The cheerful and entertaining tour guide provided a Japanese guide, which was a great help for me since I'm not very good at English. They took many photos and the tour was filled with thoughtful gestures. Everyone who participated enjoyed a friendly atmosphere until the end. At Waimea Canyon, we arrived at the waterfall first and had it all to ourselves for a while. The schedule for the sightseeing spots and the overall timing was perfect. If I have the opportunity, I would definitely love to join other tours as well.
いろいろな国の方たちと大変楽しく過ごせました。明るく面白いツアーガイドさんの日本語ガイドもあり、英語が苦手な私は大変助かりました。写真もたくさん撮ってくださり気遣いの溢れたツアーでした。参加された方々皆んな最後まで和気あいあいと過ごしました。ワイメア渓谷では、滝に一番に着き暫く貸し切りとなり、途中の観光スポット、全体の時間のスケジュールも完璧でした。また、機会あれば、他のツアーにもぜひぜひ参加したいです。

My 20-year-old daughter is shy and dislikes the ocean, so she was adamant about not wanting to try snorkeling. The entire crew encouraged her, saying they would help her along, but she still refused. However, the way they maintained a respectful distance was really nice. They told us that it was okay not to go and that we didn't have to force ourselves, which made us feel like we didn't miss out. In the end, despite her initial reluctance, my daughter had a great time and created wonderful memories. They also took some really beautiful photos.
娘20歳はシャイで海が嫌いなのですが、シュノーケル体験は頑なにしたくないと。
クルーの方全員が、引っ張ってあげるから行こうと誘ってくださいました。それでも拒否、でも無理矢理でない距離感がすごく良かったです。
行かなかった私達に行けなくて、無理しなくてよかったね。と声をかけてくれて、損をした感じがしなかったです。
結果、娘はあんなに嫌がっていたのにとても楽かったと、よい思い出が作れました。
写真もすごく素敵に撮ってくれました。

This was a great way to spend our afternoon. The water sports offered were so fun! This was hands down the best snorkeling experience I’ve ever had. The reef and fish were beautiful. The crew was helpful and energetic.I felt so comfortable during this entire excursion! To top it all off, the live performers were OUTSTANDING. It was the perfect way to ride out into the beautiful Hawaiian waters. Loved loved loved this!
