イルカ大学 イルカウォッチング&シュノーケリングクルーズ イルカと泳ぐプランも!マリンアクティビティも充実<ランチ付き/日本語/ワイキキ&コオリナ送迎可>
It's reassuring to have a Japanese guide.
日本人のガイドさんがいるので安心
Activity Date: 2024/08/13 | Posted on: 2024/09/16

Hayato, the Japanese guide, rode with us on the shuttle bus and provided explanations on the way to the port. The photographer was a foreigner, but he tried to communicate using a translation device and was very kind. The boat was double-decker, with foreigners on the first floor and Japanese on the second. There were two Japanese guides on the second floor to assist us. It was quite rocky, and some people felt sick, so it's advisable to take motion sickness medication. Children from the age of five can swim, but they need to jump off the boat one by one with fins and snorkel sets, so it might be scary unless the child is very adventurous.

Unfortunately, on the day we participated, we couldn't swim with the dolphins, but we were able to see them from the boat. (There are areas where swimming with them is not allowed.) In the snorkeling area, we saw turtles, so we could swim with them.

On the return bus, I tried to get off in front of the hotel, but the door closed right in front of me, and in the end, we had to stop at the hotel one more time to drop us off. The driver didn't speak Japanese and seemed hard of hearing, so I recommend that those who are not confident in their English sit in the front seats to get off quickly.

日本人ガイドのハヤトさんが送迎のバスから一緒に乗ってくださって、港にいくまでの間に説明をしてくれました。カメラマンさんは外国の方でしたが、翻訳機能を使って意思疎通をしようとしてくれて、とても良い方でした。二階建ての船でしたが、外国の方が1階、日本人は2階で振り分けられていました。2階には日本人ガイドさんが2人いてサポートしてくださいました。結構揺れて気持ち悪くなってる方がいたので酔い止めは飲んだ方がいいです。5歳からスイムも可能となっていますが、船から一人ずつフィンとシュノーケルセットをつけて飛び降りる必要があるので、よほど冒険心のあるお子さんでないと怖いのではないかなと思いました。
私たちが参加した日は残念ながらイルカと一緒に泳ぐことはできなかったのですが、船の上からイルカを見ることはできました。(エリアによって一緒に泳げないエリアがあります。)またシュノーケルエリアでは亀がいたので、亀と一緒に泳ぐことはできました。
帰りのバスでホテル前で降りようとしましたが、目の前で扉を閉められてしまい、結局最後にもう一度ホテルに寄って降ろしてもらいました。運転手さんは日本語が話せない方で耳も遠い感じだったので、英語に自信のない方は前方の席に座って素早く降りることをおすすめします。

Aloha! Natsu, thank you very much for participating in Dolphin University. We greatly appreciate your detailed comments regarding the tour! The captain and crew tirelessly communicated with other boats in search of dolphins to swim with until the very end, but since everything is part of the wild and natural environment, this is also a part of nature. That said, it was very disappointing that you couldn't swim with them. Thank you for your positive comments about the Japanese guide. We apologize for any anxiety and inconvenience caused when you got off the shuttle bus. We will share this feedback internally. We sincerely look forward to your next participation. Mahalo nui and a hui hou!

アロハ!なつ様。この度はイルカ大学に参加していただき、ありがとうございました。ツアーに関して詳細に渡りコメントしていただき、大変感謝いたします! キャプテンとクルーは一緒に泳げるイルカを探すことを最後まで諦めずに他の船と連絡を取り合いながら探すのですが、全てが野生と自然の中でのことなのでこれも自然の一部。とはいえ、一緒に泳げなかったのはとても残念でした。そんな中、日本語ガイドへの前向きなコメントをいただき、ありがとうございます。送迎のバスを降りる際にご不安ならびにご不便をおかけしてしまい、申し訳ございませんでした。こちらの内容は社内で共有いたします。なつ様のまたのご参加を心よりお待ちしております。Mahalo nui and a hui hou!

Waikiki Snorkel with Turtles Cruise with Beers & Cocktails - Ke Kai Catamaran
Very meh
Activity Date: 2024/09/14 | Posted on: 2024/09/15
Des

Not really worth it.
Drinks are not offered until after you get out of the water. Kinda lame. But safety first, I get it. Ticket says 3 beverages. By the time you're out of the water and get a drink from the bar, you have about 15 minutes out on the water before getting back to the beach. I ordered two drinks and didn't have time to finish my second beverage. And you can't take them off the boat with you.
I saw two turtles. Water is not very clear and you are crowded by so many other tours. You are required to wear a life jacket the whole time, so you can't even dive down to take a closer look at the turtles. They're about 30 feet below you. One did surface, so that was cool.

Staff were super unenthusiastic. Yes, you're working. You live here. We're tourist, whatever. But at least smile. It's like none of them have ever traveled before. This is a bucket list adventure for some people. Maybe show some passion. The male guide couldn't project his voice whatsoever and had zero excitement in his voice when going over safety measures. The female guard also struggled with public speaking and wrapped it up with "I tried my best to make sure you all saw a turtle, if you didn't, that's your fault."
The only person on the boat who deserved part of the tip I left was the good looking thor dude. He was at least friendly. Mahalo to you.

Also. They advertise two hammock like seating areas. A couple scored the first one. The other one was occupied with thier equipment. I kindly asked if they could move it over 4 feet so I could sit there and the girl said no. I arrived early just to claim that spot. I was not the only person to ask, either. Maybe don't put the equipment in the most desirable area to sit?

Would not book again.

The crew was excellent so friendly and so helpful. We had so much fun at the sand bar lunch was great. The snorkling was also a lot of fun. I would highly recommend this experience. Really enjoyed the movie trivia that our host shared with us on our way back to the dock. Thank you for a great time!

There weren't as many fish as I had thought.

Activity Date: 2024/09/12 | Posted on: 2024/09/15

We gathered in front of the hotel early in the morning (5:45 AM) and watched the sunrise until our reservation time for Hanauma Bay (6:30 AM). This activity does not require a reservation for entry to Hanauma Bay, but you need to purchase tickets on-site, and you have to wait in line until it's time. I felt that time was a bit wasted, but I guess that's what you get for a cheap tour. One participant in the same tour kindly purchased tickets for everyone at the counter. Of course, we all lined up together.

If the tour included the ticket price, I suppose there wouldn't be any need to wait in line? I saw some people entering without waiting. Since everything was explained in English, there were some things I didn't understand. I heard there are lockers available, but I think it's better to take valuables to the beach. Someone needs to keep an eye on the bags. The snorkeling gear was cheap, and it was hard to breathe underwater. Some people mentioned it broke halfway through. The driver said if we called, he would help us... in English.

If you want to participate in the tour efficiently and with peace of mind, I think it's better to join a Hanauma Bay snorkeling tour guided by Japanese staff, even if it's a bit more expensive.

朝早くから(5時45分)ホテル前集合で、ハナウマ湾の予約時間(6時30分)まで朝日が昇るのを見てました。
このアクティビティーは、ハナウマ湾入場予約は不要なのだけど、現地でチケット購入しないといけないく、時間になるまでならんで待っていないとダメでした。
その時間がもったいなかったかな?安いツアーだからしょうがないです。
同じツアー参加者の一人が全員分のチケットをまとめて窓口で購入してくれました。もちろん全員同じかたまってならんでました。

チケット代金も入ったツアーならたぶんこの並ぶ ということはないのかな?並ばないで入ってる人もいたので。
全部英語で説明させるのでわからないこともありました。ロッカーあるとのこと、でもビーチに貴重品はもっていった方がいいと思います。誰か一人荷物番が必要です。
シュノーケルも安物か海のなかで息がしづらいです。
途中で切れたという人もいました。電話してくれれば…と、ドライバーはいってました。英語です。
効率よく、安心してツアーに参加したいのであれば、少し高くても日本人スタッフが案内してくれるハナウマ湾シュノーケルに参加した方がいいと思います。

We were able to enjoy ourselves thoroughly until the meeting time of 12:30 thanks to the early morning pickup. Timely service is great!
For meals, only before going down to the beach, card payments are accepted. The BIG hot dog was $11, and we were able to share it between two people. The fish is larger and there are many more varieties compared to before the pandemic!

Re

I participated in weather that was sunny with occasional clouds. Since the weather was relatively nice, I dreamed of seeing the sandbar I had seen in photos, but in reality, the sea was murky with low transparency due to the sand... However, I was able to go snorkeling in an area with lots of sea turtles, and the crew members were very kind. The service of spam onigiri and snacks was also greatly appreciated.

晴れときどき曇のような天気で参加。天気がわりと良かったため、写真で見ていたサンドバーを見れると夢みて参加したのですが、実際には砂で濁って透明度の低い海でした。。。
ただ、ウミガメがいっぱいいるところをシュノーケリングできたり、クルーの方々も非常に優しく、スパムおにぎりやお菓子のサービスなどは非常に有難かったです。

I truly appreciate your kind words about the turtle watching and our services despite the circumstances. I would be delighted if you consider joining us again on your next visit to Hawaii. I hope you encounter beautiful blue skies on that day. Mahalo!

Activity Date: 2024/08/23 | Posted on: 2024/09/14

I booked for the early morning time slot in late August. The shuttle bus was fine for everyone to wear light clothing, like swimsuits and rash guards. After arriving at the boat, we moved a little further to reach the sandbar, where we first had a short snorkeling session for those who wanted to participate. We were able to see turtles.

After that, we had free time to walk around or rent things like stand-up paddleboards, and everyone enjoyed taking photos. On the boat, each person received one spam onigiri, and there were no limits on potato chips and various cold and hot drinks, which we could eat and drink at our leisure.

Since it was a bit cloudy that day, the sea temperature was low, and my body felt cold, so the cocoa was really delicious and appreciated. I think the sea varies depending on the weather and time, but honestly, Waikiki Beach is prettier. However, the staff were all nice and fun, and overall it was a really enjoyable experience, so I definitely recommend trying it at least once!

8月下旬朝イチの時間帯で申し込みました。
送迎のバスはみんな水着にラッシュガードを羽織った感じの軽装で大丈夫です。
船場に到着してからまた少し移動して、サンドバーに到着してからまずは希望者のみで少しの距離をシュノーケリング。亀が見れました。
その後は自由時間で歩くのも良し、SAPなどを借りてやるのも良しという感じで、みんな写真を撮りながら楽しみました。
船には一人一個スパムおにぎりと、個数制限なしのポテトチップスや冷たい飲み物、暖かい飲み物が色々用意されており、好きなタイミングで食べ飲みできます。
この日は少し曇り気味だったこともあり海の温度が低く、身体が冷えていたためココアなどがすごく美味しくありがたかったです。
海は天候や時間によると思いますが写真のような感じではなく、正直ワイキキビーチの方が綺麗だな〜という感じでした。
でも、スタッフの皆さん良い人で面白くて、全体的にすごく楽しかったので是非一度経験されることをおすすめします!

初心者、一人でも参加できました!
Activity Date: 2024/09/12 | Posted on: 2024/09/14

I am a woman in my 30s, and this was my first solo trip to Hawaii. I really wanted to try snorkeling at least once in my life, so I decided to participate. There were 9 participants that day, and only 2 of us were solo travelers, including myself. There were 2 instructors, both of whom spoke fluent Japanese, which made me feel at ease. It seems that it's quite difficult to make reservations for Hanauma Bay these days, so it was a good decision to book through this service. They also took photos for us, which helped create wonderful memories. It took a lot of courage for a beginner like me to join alone, but I am grateful for the warm welcome! I didn't see any turtles, but I was very satisfied with the many fish I got to see.

私は30代女性で今回初めてハワイ一人旅をしました。
どうしても人生で一度シュノーケリングをしたくて参加させていただきました。
当日は9人参加で1人参加は私を含めて2名でした。
インストラクターは2名でどちらの方も日本語がペラペラで安心できました。
ハナウマ湾は今はなかなか予約が取れないみたいなのでこちらでお願いして正解でした。
写真も撮っていただいてとても良い思い出を作ることができました。
なかなか初心者一人参加は勇気が必要でしたが、受け入れていただいて感謝です!
タートルは見れませんでしたが、沢山のお魚を見れて大満足でした。

Kaneohe Sandbar Tour with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Hawaiian Music - Kaneohe Bay Ocean Sports
Amazing experience!
Activity Date: 2024/09/12 | Posted on: 2024/09/14

We were going back and forth on which boat to go with and we were so happy we chose this one! The staff were amazing. So friendly and informative and helpful. The live music was amazing and made experience that much more special! They had refreshments and donuts complementary. There we was snorkelling, kayaking, paddle boards and a dock to chill at when you arrived. When we were there we looked around at the other boats and they honestly had nothing going on lol. Would definitely recommend going with them for this experience :)

Activity Date: 2024/09/06 | Posted on: 2024/09/13

The boat was large, so it didn't sway at all, and we enjoyed drinks, donuts, and live music on board. I had signed up for a tour that was supposed to coincide with low tide, but we couldn't see the sandy beach, and the water depth was about to the chest of an adult. However, with this depth, it's safe even if you fall while snorkeling, and it might be just right for enjoying snorkeling. During snorkeling, you get to feed the fish, so they come right up to you, which is fun!

大きめの船なので全く揺れず、船上で飲み物やドーナツ、生演奏が楽しめました。干潮の時刻に合わせたツアーを申し込んだはずなのですが、砂浜は見えず、大人のみぞおち位の水深がありました。
でも、このくらいの水深だとSAPで転んでも安全だし、シュノーケリングも楽しめて丁度良いかもしれません。シュノーケリングでは餌をもらえるので魚が向こうから寄って来てくれて楽しい!

The weather was nice and I had a great time! However, the morning pickup location was the same as other tour companies, so there were a huge number of people gathered, and with so many shuttle vehicles, it was difficult to find my ride. Also, unfortunately, we couldn't see the sandbar due to the timing (but that's just a natural phenomenon, so it can't be helped). I was surprised when they said we would ride the bumper tube and banana boat one after the other right after we arrived (before going into the sea), but the bumper tube was thrilling and fun! The staff were all kind, polite, and enjoyable, which made me feel at ease.

天気も良くとっても楽しかったです!
ただ、朝のピックアップ場所が他のツアー会社と同じなので、ものすごい人数が集まり、送迎車もたくさんなのでどれが自分のお迎えの車なのか探すのに苦労しました。
それと、残念ながらサンドバーは時間帯が悪く見られませんでした。(こればっかりは自然現象なので仕方ない)
ついて早々に(海に入る前に)バンパーチューブとバナナボートに立て続けに乗ると言われびっくりしましたが、バンパーチューブはスリル満点で楽しかったです!
スタッフさんもみんな優しく丁寧で楽しい方たちなので安心でした。

I thought the island would rise up and I could walk on it, but the water is up to my chest. There are many more tropical fish for snorkeling at Hanauma Bay. There is only one Japanese interpreter, and they are not on the boat. For a tour that costs that much, this is disappointing. It's better not to have high expectations.

島️が浮き上がって、歩けるのかと思いきや、胸くらいまで水がある。シュノーケルもハナウマ湾のほうが熱帯魚はたくさんいます。日本語通訳は一人だけで船上はいません。あれだけの金額のツアーでこれ?って感じです。あまり期待しないほうがいいです。

Beautiful sea!
綺麗な海!
Activity Date: 2024/09/07 | Posted on: 2024/09/11

It was an early morning pickup, but the van was full. The entrance fee for Hanauma Bay is collected in cash inside the car, so it's a good idea to bring exact change. The driver will say various things in English, but as long as you can understand what time you need to be back at the car, you can just let the rest go. At Hanauma Bay, there is a place on the beach where you can rent fins and other equipment, and you can also rent lockers there. However, it's not a self-service system; you have to give your items to the staff, and when you want to retrieve them, you hand over the key.

早朝ピックアップでしたが、バンは満席でした。ハナウマ湾の入場料は車の中で現金で集められるため、お釣りがないように持って行くといいです。ドライバーが英語で色々言いますが、とにかく何時までに車に戻っていればいいか、聞き取れればあとは適当に流しておけば大丈夫です。ハナウマ湾には、ビーチにフィンなどレンタル品を借りる場所があり、そこでロッカーも借りれますが、自分で出し入れする式ではなく、物をスタッフに預けて取り出したい時に鍵を渡す式です。

We participated with our family of four, including two children in first and second grade! We thought we would have to go far to see wild dolphins, but we encountered them right along the coast as soon as we left the harbor. I was worried about seasickness and took some Travelmin beforehand, but there were no waves, so it wasn't necessary after all. I guess it depends on the weather.

Since our two children are naturally a bit timid, they quickly gave up on snorkeling as expected, but they had plenty of fun with the waterslide, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding! Our guide, Aya, and the photographer (I forgot their name) were very friendly and easy to interact with, and I'm glad we asked them for photos.

小学1年2年の子供2人、家族4人で参加してきました!
野生のイルカは遠くまで探しにいくと思ったら、ハーバーを出てすぐの沿岸で出会うことができました。船酔いを心配してあらかじめトラベルミンを飲みましたが、波のうねりなども無く、飲む必要はなかったです。天気にもよるのでしょうが。
子供2人は元々怖がりのため予想通りシュノーケルはすぐ諦めざるをえませんでしたが、ウォータースライダー、カヤック、SUPなどで十分楽しんでくれました!
ガイドのAyaさんやカメラマンの方(名前忘れちゃいました)はとってもフレンドリーで接しやすく、写真もお願いして良かったです。

After seeing off my parents and beloved dog, I returned to Hawaii for the first time in 10 years. I wanted to participate in this tour to enjoy snorkeling, which my active father loved. The crew mentioned, "You all are very lucky because the weather wasn't good until yesterday!" and we were indeed able to see the beautifully clear blue beach, which was amazing!

We found a net in the water and started playing volleyball with a friend, and soon Americans joined us. They cheered us on with "NICE!" when we did well and "Nice try!" when we made mistakes, allowing us to share a fun time together.

As a side note... it was fascinating how, just a few minutes after meeting each other without knowing names, we could all chase the same ball and celebrate together as a team, regardless of age or nationality. It made me wonder why wars happen.

After playing in the beautiful sea, the captain grilled delicious hamburgers for us! Thank you for the treat. A cute Japanese crew member (sorry, I forgot her name) provided very polite explanations, which made it easy to enjoy the experience. Thank you! I would love to participate again if the opportunity arises.

両親と愛犬を見送り、10年ぶりのハワイ。
アクティブな父が大好きだったシュノーケリングをぜひ・・・と思い、このツアーに参加しました。
「前日までお天気が良くなかったから、みなさんはとてもラッキーですよ!」とクルーの方がおっしゃっていましたが、本当に透き通るような青くきれいなビーチを見ることができ、最高でした!
海水の中に張られたネットを見つけ、友人とふたりでバレーボールを始めたら、すぐにアメリカ人の人たちが参加。
うまくいったらNICE! ミスをしたらNice try ! と声をかけてくれ、楽しい時間を共有できました。
余談ですが・・・
初めて会う、お互い名前も知らない人同士が、たった数分後にはひとつのボールを追いかけて年齢や国籍に関係なくチームとして共に喜び、称えあう・・・こんなことができるのに、なぜ戦争は起こるのだろう・・・と思ってしまいました。

美しい海でさんざん遊んだ後は、キャプテンが美味しいハンバーガーを焼いてくれました!ごちそうさまでした。
日本人クルーのかわいい女性(名前忘れてごめんなさい)、とても丁寧な説明で安心して楽しむことができました。ありがとう!
また機会があれば参加したいと思います。

Due to maintenance at Dolphin Middle School's port, I was upgraded to Dolphin University for free and participated.

After seeing sea turtles and enjoying marine activities, we went to see the dolphins. Unfortunately, I couldn't see the dolphins underwater, but I was able to see many dolphins swimming close to the boat in beautiful weather, which was a valuable experience.

If you are prone to seasickness, taking motion sickness medication is a must.

I had a great time, and I would like to join another tour next time!

イルカ中学のポートがメンテナンスになったということで、無料でイルカ大学にグレードアップいただき、参加しました。

ウミガメを見たりマリンアクティビティを楽しんだあと、イルカを見に行きました。
残念ながら私は水中でイルカを見られませんでしたが、良いお天気の中ボートのすぐ近くを泳ぐイルカをたくさん見ることができ、貴重な経験になりました。

船酔いしやすい方は、酔い止め必須です。

楽しかったです、次はまた別のツアーにも参加したいです!

Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in Dolphin University. We also apologize for the maintenance of the Dolphin Middle School boat. On the day you participated, the guide reported that there was a baby dolphin in the pod, making it difficult to see dolphins underwater. Despite this, we are glad to hear that you enjoyed dolphin watching from the boat, snorkeling with sea turtles, and the activities. Please do take advantage of our repeat visitor discount when you come back to Hawaii. We sincerely look forward to having you join our tour again. Mahalo nui and a hui hou!

アロハ! おしん様。この度はイルカ大学に参加していただき、誠にありがとうございます。またイルカ中学のボートがメンテナンスとなり申し訳ございませんでした。ご参加いただいた日は、イルカの群れに赤ちゃんがいて水中でイルカを見ることが難しかったとガイドから報告がありました。そんな中でも船からのイルカ・ウォッチング、ウミガメとのシュノーケリングやアクティビティを楽しんでいただけたようで嬉しく思います。ぜひ、またハワイにいらっしゃる際にはリピーター割引を利用して遊びに来てくださいね。おしん様が弊社のツアーにまたご参加してただけることを心よりお待ちしております。Mahalo nui and a hui hou!

The pickup location and the bus landmark that was communicated in advance were easy to understand. There were staff members who could speak Japanese, so I didn't have any trouble. I enjoyed multiple activities, and there was a live performance on the boat, which was a lot of fun.

Since it was mentioned in the notes that the boat was cashless, I only brought my card and couldn't pay a tip. All the staff were friendly and provided great service with smiles, so I regret not bringing a little cash.

The temperature setting on the bus was quite low, so it was really cold on the way back. I should have brought an extra bath towel or a light jacket as a precaution.

ピックアップしてくれる場所も、あらかじめ連絡のあったバスの目印も分かりやすかったです。
日本語対応可能なスタッフがいたので、困ることなかったです。
複数アクティビティも楽しめるし、船上では生LIVEもあり、とても楽しかったです。
注意事項に船上はキャッシュレスとあったので、カードのみ持参したため、チップを払うことができませんでした。スタッフ皆さん、笑顔で気持ちのいい対応をしてくれていたので、少しキャッシュを持参すれば良かったと後悔してます。
バスの温度設定がかなり低いため、帰りは本当に寒かったので、バスタオルを1枚余計に持参するとか、薄手の上着を持参する等、対策すればよかったです。

Thank you very much for participating in the tour. We are very pleased to hear that you had a great time. It can feel a bit chilly when returning to the boat from the water or on the return shuttle bus, so we think it's a good idea to bring a larger bath towel or a light jacket as you mentioned. Thank you for sharing your experience. From all of us at KBOS.

この度はツアーにご参加頂き誠にありがとうございました。楽しかったというお言葉を頂き大変嬉しく思っております。水から船上に戻った際や、帰りの送迎バス内で肌寒く感じる事がありますので、おっしゃって頂いております様に大きめのバスタオルや羽織ものをご持参頂くのは良いアイデアだと思います。ご自身のご体験をシェアして頂きありがとうございました。KBOS スタッフ一同

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/水中写真付き>
Snorkeling in the beautiful sea is the best!
綺麗な海でシュノーケリング最高です
Activity Date: 2024/08/14 | Posted on: 2024/09/07

I felt secure participating in the tour thanks to the Japanese guides, Chieko and Dan. We were able to enter without waiting in line, which was stress-free thanks to their arrangements.

The snorkeling lasted about an hour in Hanauma Bay, where we could see many tropical fish, and they provided guidance on what to look for, making it efficient considering the physical exertion. We were lucky to see a Hawaiian monk seal napping on the beach. It would have been great to see a honu as well. Near the entrance to the bay, we also spotted a mongoose.

The swim suit is optional, but I was glad I rented one. The water was unexpectedly cold, and during snorkeling, I bumped my stomach against a rock; if I hadn't been wearing it, I might have gotten injured.

It's reassuring that even small children or those who may have concerns about their stamina can retire midway and return to shore.

日本語ガイドのチエコさんとダンさんで安心してツアーに参加できました。入場もお二人の枠のお陰で並ばずに入ることができてストレスがありません。
シュノーケリングは約1時間、ハナウマ湾内を回るのですが、沢山の熱帯魚が見られるし、これというものを教えてくれるので体力消耗を考えると効率が良いです。海岸ではハワイアンモンクシールもお昼寝してて運が良かったです。あとはホヌに会えれば良かったですね。湾への入り口近くではマングースも見ました。
スイムスーツはオプションですが借りて良かったです。水が思いの外冷たいのと、シュノーケリング中に一回、岩にお腹が当たったのですが、着用してなければもしかして怪我したかも知れません。
小さなお子さんや体力に不安のある方でも途中でリタイアして岸に上がれるので安心です。

I encountered a honu (sea turtle)!

I had a great experience snorkeling at Hanauma Bay during my single days, so I wanted my children to share the same excitement, which is why I signed up for this family trip with five of us.

About 25 years ago, I remember there were many yellow fish in shallow waters up to my knees, but now it seems that due to environmental protection and restrictions from the COVID-19 pandemic, things have become stricter, and it was different from my memories of Hanauma Bay.

However, because it is well-managed, the clarity of the water is exceptional. Following the guidance of the instructor, we snorkeled and encountered fish swimming in their natural habitat. Finally, we went to a turtle spot a little deeper and were able to meet a honu (sea turtle).

The instructor was very knowledgeable about Hanauma Bay, and my 6-year-old daughter also enjoyed snorkeling, so I’m glad we participated.

独身時代に行ったハナウマ湾シュノーケリングがよかったため、子どもたちにも同じ感動を味わわせたいと思い今回家族5人で申し込みました。
以前(25年くらい前?)は膝の深さくらいの浅瀬に黄色い魚がたくさんいて餌付けした記憶がありましたが、今は環境保護やコロナ禍を経て入場制限など色々厳しくなったようで昔の記憶にあるハナウマとは違っていました。
しかし管理されているため海の綺麗さは格別で、インストラクターの方の案内に従ってシュノーケリングして自然を泳ぐ魚に遭遇し、最後少し奥の海ガメスポットに行きホヌに出逢うことができました。
ハナウマ湾を知り尽くしたインストラクターさんで6歳の娘もシュノーケリングを楽しめたので参加してよかったです。

Hanauma Bay requires a reservation, which can be difficult to secure, so I booked a tour. I was extremely satisfied with the result. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about Hanauma Bay, making the experience very smooth from entry to activities. It seems that the clarity of the water and the activity of the marine life change depending on the conditions at Hanauma Bay, so I would like to come back again. This time, we couldn't see any sea turtles due to the low tide, but the water clarity was very high, and I was able to see many marine creatures, so I was very satisfied!

ハナウマ湾は予約必須で予約困難ということで、ツアーを予約しました。結果大満足です。
ツアーガイドの方はハナウマ湾を知り尽くしていらっしゃるので、入場からアクティビティまで非常にスムーズに体験することができました。
ハナウマ湾の状況によって、海の透明度、生き物達の活性が変わるみたいなので、また来たいと思います。
今回は引き潮でウミガメは見られませんでしたが、透明度は非常に高く、沢山の海の生き物が見られたので大満足でした!
