This was a place I had wanted to visit since I saw it in photos. I participated in this tour and was very satisfied.
There were two boats. One was exclusively for Japanese people, and the other was for people from other countries, as there were many Japanese participants. The main staff were also Japanese (Yuki was wonderful!) and they made the tour lively with their guidance and fun conversations. Even though other staff members weren't fluent in Japanese, they were all very friendly, engaging with everyone and making an effort to enhance the experience. This tour is perfectly fine even if you can't speak English.
The water level at the sandbar was higher than I expected, but the white sandy beach of coral that emerges in the middle of the ocean and the color contrast with the deep sea was something I had never seen before; it was truly beautiful and moving. I sincerely wished I had a camera-equipped drone. I will definitely bring one next time!
The BBQ hamburger for lunch was delicious, with a thick patty. Alcohol was $5 per drink (settled at the end), and soft drinks were unlimited. It was explained that there was a minimum of $20 for purchasing alcohol with a credit card.
As for turtle watching, since they are not domesticated, I think it's a matter of luck. However, I was able to see them several times. Snorkeling takes place in areas where you can't touch the bottom, but with life jackets, ropes to hold onto, and all the necessary fins and masks provided, it felt safe. However, the current can be quite strong, so it might be a bit challenging for those who are not confident swimmers. We swam around areas where the distance from the surface to the coral was close, but it was disappointing to see some people walking on the coral despite being told not to. Since the tour is explained in Japanese, I hope participants will listen carefully and follow the rules to protect the beautiful nature.
When returning to the port or after snorkeling when getting back on the boat, it can get quite cold as the boat moves while you're still wet. Since there isn't much time to change before arriving at the port, I recommend bringing a large bath towel to wrap around yourself.
There is a tip box when you disembark, so it might be good to bring some cash. Tipping is not very familiar to Japanese people, but it's a way to express gratitude for a good time, so I hope you will consider showing your appreciation. Thank you to all the staff!
写真で見たときから「行きたい!」と思っていた場所でした。こちらのツアーに参加して大満足です。
船は2隻。1隻は日本人専用ともう1隻はそれ以外の国の人たちに分けられるぐらいに、日本人が多かったです。メインスタッフの方も日本人で(Yukiさん素敵!)ガイドや楽しいお喋りでツアーを盛り上げてくれました。他のスタッフも日本語が堪能ではなくても、みんなに話しかけてくれたり気を使ってくれたり盛り上げてくれたりと、皆さん素敵な人達でした。英語話せなくても大丈夫なツアーです。
サンドバーの水位は思っていたよりもあったのですが、海のど真ん中に出てくるあの白いサンゴの砂浜と深い海の堺の色合いが、今まで見たことがないもので、本当に綺麗で感動しました。カメラ付きドローンを欲しかったと切実に思いました。次回は必ず!
ランチのBBQハンバーガーも、パティが分厚くて美味しかったです。アルコールは一杯5ドル(最後にまとめて清算)、ソフトドリンクは飲み放題でした。クレジットカードでアルコールを購入する人は、ミニマム20ドルと説明がありました。
カメウォッチングは、飼われている訳ではないので運だと思います。でも、何度か見ることが出来ました。シュノーケリングは、足が付かない場所でするのですが、ライフジャケットを付けたり、ロープにつかまったり、フィンやマスクなども完備なので安心です。ただ、結構流されるので泳ぎに自信がない人は少し大変かもしれません。海面とサンゴまでの距離が近いところの「まわり」を泳ぐのですが、サンゴに立たないでくださいと言われていながらも上を歩いている人がいてとても残念でした。日本語で説明してくれるツアーなので、綺麗な自然を守るためにも、ツアー参加する人たちにはちゃんと説明を聞いてルールを守って欲しいと思いました。
港へ帰る時やシュノーケリングが終わって船へ上がってからは、全身濡れている中船が走るので、結構寒いかと思います。着替える時間もなく港へ到着するので、大判のバスタオルなどを羽織ると良いかと思います。
船を降りる時にチップボックスがあるので、少し現金を持って行くと良いかと思います。日本人にはあまりなじみのないチップですが、良い時間を過ごせた、ありがとうという気持ちなので、ぜひ心遣いを渡して欲しいなと思います。スタッフの皆さん、ありがとうございました!

I participated alone, but the friendly staff made it a very enjoyable experience. Thank you, Julie, for entertaining us and teaching us about dolphins! I learned so many new things and had a great time. I was also really happy to swim with the pod of dolphins up close. It was great that I wasn't limited to just one time; I got to swim with the dolphins multiple times. It was a wonderful day!
一人での参加でしたが、気さくなスタッフの方ばかりでとても楽しめました。ジュリーさん、楽しませてくださったり、イルカの事を教えてくださりありがとうございました!知らない事が沢山あり楽しかったです。また、イルカの群れと至近距離で泳げて、すごく嬉しかったです。1回で終わりでなく、何度もイルカと泳がせてくれたのが私には良かったです。とても良い1日でした!

My husband and I participated together. The tour had a small group of seven people, including us, with support from Chieko and Dan (who speaks fluent Japanese). During the journey to Hanauma Bay, they shared various stories, making the trip enjoyable.
Once we arrived at Hanauma Bay, we smoothly bypassed the long line for individual tickets. We watched a video about the protection of Hanauma Bay, and it was quick to get through that as well. We really reached the beach efficiently.
As a first-time snorkeler, I was carefully taught how to wear the mask and how to clear water from it. Even after entering the water, they kept an eye on me, which made me feel very safe, and I was able to enjoy snorkeling a lot.
Depending on the sea conditions that day, they changed the swimming points to provide the best experience. On the day we participated, there was quite a low tide, so there were reportedly fewer fish. Dan also took underwater photos and pictures of us. I was grateful to see the beautiful fish again.
If I have the opportunity to visit Hawaii again, I would definitely like to bring my children and grandchildren along and participate again. This tour is highly recommended for beginners and children!
主人と二人で参加しました。ツアーも私たちを含めて7人の少人数で、チエコさんとダン(日本語ペラペラ)二人でのサポート体制。ハナウマ湾へ向かう道中も色々、お話をしてくれて、楽しみながら向かうことができました。
ハナウマ湾へ着いてからも、個人で来られている方の入場のチケットを買う長い列を横目に、スイスイ。ハナウマ湾保護のためのビデオを見るのですが、それもどこで見ると出るのが早い…等々。ほんとに効率よくビーチまで辿り着くことができました。
シュノーケリングが初めての私に丁寧にマスクの付け方や水の抜き方など教えて頂き、海に入ってからも、気にかけてくださり、とても安心して、シュノーケリングをとても楽しむことができました。
その日の海の状態で、泳ぐポイントを変えてその日のベストを提供していただきました。
私たちが参加した日は、かなりな引き潮でしたので、魚も少なかったらしいです。
ダンが水中の写真や私たちの写真も撮ってくれました。改めて綺麗な魚たちも見ることができ、感謝です。
またハワイを訪れる機会があれば、次は子供たちや孫たちも連れて、是非是非参加したいと思います。
初心者や子どもさんにもほんとにおすすめのツアーです!
Dear Shiho, thank you for joining us on the tour with your partner. I'm really glad to hear that you enjoyed your first snorkeling experience. Both Dan and I are certified instructors at Hanauma Bay, so even when it's crowded and there are long lines, our customers can enjoy the benefit of entering without waiting in line! We hope to see your whole family next time. Children aged six and older are very welcome. We look forward to seeing you again. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

The guide was kind, and I was able to interact closely with the sea turtles, plus the food was delicious! Be careful of sunburn, so make sure to apply sunscreen and dress appropriately. I got really excited and ended up being loud, but it seems that the sea turtles don't come close to loud noises. The best way to get close is to quietly observe them when you find them!
The guide was so genuine that I didn't mind giving a tip at all!
ガイドさんも優しいし、ウミガメと至近距離で触れ合えたし、ご飯も美味しい!
日焼けは結構しますので、しっかり塗って着込んで対策を。
テンション高くて大声が出てしまいますが、ウミガメさんはうるさい音には近づいてこないみたいです。見つけたらそっと見守りするのが1番近づけるポイントです!

I had a great time playing beach volleyball at Sandbar! There weren't many Japanese people participating, but when I gathered the courage to join in, it was so much fun!
In the morning, the sky was cloudy and the sea wasn't that beautiful, but after the clouds cleared and the sun came out, the sea was unbelievably beautiful and I was moved.
Snorkeling was also amazing, with lots of fish and beautiful coral.
サンドバーでは多国籍バレーをして楽しめました!日本人はなかなか入っていく人が少なかったですが、勇気を出して参加してみるとすごく楽しいです!

I understood that the explanation would be in English, but it might be tough if you’re not really good at English! I couldn’t understand not only the explanations but also the jokes within them, so I was confused the whole time.
As for the sea, I was able to see sea turtles! However, apart from that, there were just a few black fish here and there.
There was a performance where we rode the waves? The boat rocked a lot, and the foreigners seemed to enjoy it, but it went on for more than ten times and was quite long. My husband ended up feeling sick, which affected the rest of our trip. The strong rocking continued, and I even bumped my leg against the stairs and got a bruise.
Also, it was really cold, so a jacket is a must!
英語での説明なことはわかっていましたが、本当に英語が上手でないと厳しいかもしれません!説明だけでなく、説明の中のジョークなども分からず、終始ハテナでした。
海は、海亀をみることはできました!が、それ以外は黒い魚がちらほら、です。
波に乗り?船を大きく揺らすパフォーマンスがあって、外人の方は喜んでいましたが、揺らす回数が10回以上と長く、夫は気持ち悪くなってしまいその後の旅行に影響してしまいました。大きな揺れが続き私も階段に足をぶつけあざを作ってしまいました。
あとすごく、寒かったので上着必須です!

The ocean in Hawaii that I visited for the first time was incredibly beautiful, and I was moved by it. The malasada I had for the first time was served warm, and I was able to eat it right away, which was also a touching experience. It was so delicious that it has become one of my favorite foods.
My first experience with snorkeling was also very good. I’m not a strong swimmer, so I had to get back on the boat, but I still want to try it again.
The barbecue on the boat was wonderful because I got to eat my favorite kalbi, which made me very happy.
The guide's explanations were very clear and I appreciated that.
Everyone was kind and gentle, and I definitely want to go back.

I hesitated to join the snorkeling time because it was a bit cold, but I decided to go for it, and it was the right choice! I was able to capture a sea turtle swimming right below me on camera! It might be good to have marine shoes for snorkeling. It can be a bit painful on your feet if you're barefoot from the sandbar to the snorkeling point.

The trip was fabulous! The crew is friendly, fun and knowledgeable. They keep you informed, entertained and fed (I liked the burger, chips and fruit). The equipment & boat were in excellent shape.
There isn't a lot of down time which I appreciated (activities/entertainment happening thru out the trip). Tyler was an amazing hula dancer! Make sure you bring cash to tip the crew, they work hard to show us tourists a great time!!
When we initially jumped in the water, we saw dolphins immediately! The second jump we saw more dolphins, a sting ray, and a sea turtle! (And fish, if course). It was amazing.
We didn't rent the wet suit and we were fine (mid April). We took Dramamine because of all the warnings in other reviews, so we had no motion sickness, but neither did anyone else. :)
My only advice would be that guests should be sure to sit under the covered area when the crew is making announcements. We were sitting at the very back of the boat (behind the speaker) and couldn't hear them at all. You'll also get a better view of the dancer.
Also, the slide was not available on our trip, so if that's important to you, you should double check?

I participated with my 12-year-old and 8-year-old children. My 8-year-old son was anxious about swimming, so I thought one of us parents would have to stay on the boat while the other snorkeled. However, we were able to rent a boat that lets you look underwater for $10 right there, so all four of us could snorkel together and see lots of fish and turtles. It would have been perfect if the weather had been a bit sunnier... On the bus ride there, the air conditioning was too strong, and I thought everyone might catch a cold.

There are no changing rooms on-site, so you should wear your swimsuit underneath. The boat will anchor in shallow water a bit away from the sandbar.
The path to the sandbar has water up to your waist and takes about 10 minutes, but everyone takes photos along the way.
You can sit at the sandbar or take pictures with the shallow water as a backdrop. After about 10 minutes, the water level rises, and you return to the original boat.
After that, we scuba dive for about 20 minutes at a coral reef where turtles reside. Unfortunately, the turtle was resting, but we were able to spot it.
Later, while we were eating on the boat, a turtle came close and played with the tail of a shrimp we had left uneaten.
They were selling seasickness wristbands for $20 on the boat, but since it seems calm in the lagoon without wind, it shouldn't be necessary as the waves are gentle and the trip takes about 10 minutes.
The way the color of the sea changes as the sun comes out from behind the clouds is a beauty that is hard to experience.
現地では着替え場所はなく、水着を中に着て行くべき。船はサンドバーから少し離れた浅瀬で停泊するからです。
サンドバーまでの道のりは腰まで水位があり10分ほどかかりますが、皆写真を撮りながら向かって行きます。
サンドバーで座るもよし、浅瀬で遠浅を背景に撮影するもよしです。
10分もすると水位が上がるのか元の船に戻ります。
そのあとはカメが住み着いてる珊瑚礁を20分ほどスクーバダイビングします。
あいにくカメはじっと休んでましたが確認はできました。
その後船上で食事中にカメがよって来て、食べかけのエビのシッポをエサにして戯れてました。
船上で20ドルで酔い止めリストバンドを販売してましたが、風がなければラグーン内らしいので、波は穏やかで10分程度で行き来するから必要ないでしょう。
太陽が雲から出たり隠れたりすることで、海の色が変化するさまは、なかなか体験できない美しさです。
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. Thank you very much for participating. We appreciate your detailed report. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the beauty of the sandbar. We all sincerely look forward to your next visit.

Crew, Equipment exceeded expectation, for swimmers and non swimmers alike. IWS Underwater scooter is an event you will cherish. My wife and I were thankful they could take us on short notice. A complete package from reservation, pick up, instruction, operation, pics and drop off.

This was my first experience at the sandbar. The water was up to my knees, but it was really nice. A sea turtle came right up close to me, and I was so moved. The food was also very delicious.
サンドバー初体験です。
膝の辺りまで水がありましたが、とても良かったです。
ウミガメが直ぐそばまで来てくれて、感動しました。
食事もとても美味しかったです。

I decided to skip snorkeling because I caught a cold. I thought it was a waste since I paid a lot of money, but it turned out to be totally fine!
While others went snorkeling, my husband and I had the boat almost to ourselves! Plus, a pod of dolphins swam right underneath the boat, and we had such a wonderful time. During the activity time, the guide strongly encouraged us to try kayaking, and I was quite hesitant, but it turned out to be really fun, and I'm glad I did it. My bottom got wet, but it dried quickly, and I hardly felt cold at all. After snorkeling, some people were shivering from the cold or looking pale from seasickness, so I think warm clothing (even a bit excessive) and motion sickness medication are essential.
The staff was very energetic, and we all sang songs together and even danced the hula at the end, which was a lot of fun! Most participants seemed to be in their 20s to 30s. However, I think it's a tour that can be enjoyed even if you're not young, if you have kids, or even if you're feeling a bit under the weather—it's definitely enjoyable without snorkeling! I would love to participate again next time!
風邪を引いてしまったので、シュノーケルはやめることにしました。高いお金を払っているのにもったいないなーと思っていましたが、全然そんなことなかったです!
他の方がシュノーケルに行っている間、船は主人と2人でほぼ貸し切り状態!しかも、イルカの群れがちょうど船の真下を通ってくれて、ほんっとに素敵な時間を過ごせました。アクティビティの時間には、ガイドさんがカヤックを勧めてくれて、かなり強引に勧められて結構悩んだのですが、とっても楽しくてやってよかったです。お尻は濡れたけどすぐに乾いて寒さを感じることはほぼありませんでした。シュノーケル後は、寒さで震えたり、酔って青白くなっておらる方もいらっしゃったので、防寒対策(ちょっと過度なぐらいでもいいかも)と酔い止めは必須だと思います。
スタッフの方のテンションが高くて、みんなで歌を歌ったり、最後にフラを踊ったり、とても楽しかったです!参加者は2~30代がほとんどだと思います。でも、若くなくてもお子様連れでも少々風邪を引いていても、シュノーケルなしでも十分に楽しめるツアーだと思いました!次回も是非参加したいです!
Aloha,
Thank you for participating in the tour.
It seems like it was a very lucky tour to see a pod of dolphins from the boat.
Please come back next time to swim with the dolphins! We look forward to seeing you.

I was a bit anxious about participating alone, but once it started, I found that it was totally fine to join by myself. There was support in Japanese as well.
I got to see dolphins and turtles up close, and I enjoyed snorkeling in the beautiful sea. I swam quite a distance, so half a day was just the right amount of time.
一人参加で不安がありましたが
始まってみれば一人で参加でも全然大丈夫でした
日本語でのサポートもあるし
近距離でイルカにもカメにも会えました
綺麗な海でシュノーケリングも楽しめました。
なかなかの距離を泳いだので半日で時間的にも
ちょうどよかったです
