On the day of the tour, we had a plan for the afternoon, and it was just my husband and me participating. Our guide was Chieko, a very friendly Japanese woman. She was quite experienced, and she seemed to know everyone at Hanauma Bay. It had been quite a challenge for us since we participated in a snorkeling tour in Saipan 30 years ago, but Chieko efficiently taught us the snorkeling techniques, so we felt comfortable joining in. She also took underwater photos and shared them with us. She guided us expertly to points where many fish were swimming. To our surprise, we even saw a turtle. It was an unforgettable and wonderful memory. I’m really glad we participated. Hanauma Bay is thoroughly protected, so the water is very clear and beautiful, and the fish are impressively large. They grow big because they are protected. We saw mongooses playing on the beach. With the life jackets, we floated safely, and by moving our fins, we could swim forward. All we had to do was breathe through our mouths instead of our noses. My husband and I confidently recommend this tour to everyone.
当日は午後からのプランで、参加者は私達夫婦だけでした。担当はchiekoさん。とっても気さくな、日本の方でした。相当なベテランの方で、ハナウマ湾の係りの方は皆、知り合いでした。私達はなにしろ、サイパンで30年前にシュノーケルツアーに参加して以来のチャレンジですが、chiekoさんが手際よくシュノーケルの要領を教えてくれたので安心して参加出来ました。水中写真も撮っていただいてアップして下さいました。魚が沢山泳いでいるポイントを要領よく案内していただきました。なんと、亀も見れました。一生忘れられない素晴らしい思い出です。本当に参加して良かったです。ハナウマ湾は自然保護が徹底しているので、水はとっても透き通ってきれいですし、お魚さんのなんと大きいこと。迫力満点です。保護されているので、大きく育つそうです。海岸ではマングースが遊んでいました。ライフジャケットで体は浮いているので、安心ですし、足ヒレを動かせば前に進みます。後は鼻で息をしないで、口で呼吸すればいいだけです。私達夫婦はこのツアーを自信を持って皆さんに推薦します。

I have joined the Captain Bob snorkel since the first time I went to Hawaii. It was so consistent every time. And this time we have a group of 11 people going and everyone has a good time even though the sandbar water level is a little bit high but the whole crew working on the boat are so sincere which makes a big difference on the atmosphere of the activity. Excellent

I arranged for entrance tickets and cabana rental.
I drove to the location with a rental car.
The sunlight in July was strong, so having a cabana was great. There were several types of pools, suitable for everyone from babies to adults.
Outside food is not allowed, so I bought a pizza on-site. It costs about $25 for one, but it's large enough to share among several people.
入場券とカバナレンタルを手配。
現地まではレンタカーで行きました。
7月の日差しは強くカバナがあってよかったです。プールは何種類もあり、下は赤ちゃんから上は成人まで遊べるようになっていました。
食事は持ち込み禁止なので、現地でピザを購入。1枚$25ぐらいですが数人でシェアできる大きさです

We participated as a couple.
They provided transportation, and there are staff members who speak Japanese, so those who are worried about English can feel at ease!
The lessons are given with simple Japanese instructions, so there are no problems at all.
There are multiple opportunities to catch waves, so I believe anyone can learn to stand up!
Finally, we also received a group photo at the end.
We made wonderful memories.

I tried it at 150m, but we were the only Japanese participants, and the guide mostly spoke English, which made me a bit anxious. However, once I took off, the situation changed completely! Not only could I enjoy the breathtaking views of Hawaii from the sky, but the beautiful ocean was truly "Blue Hawaii"!

When we booked our vacation, I knew this activity was the MUST DO of our time in Honolulu! It was awesome! Too bad I got motion sickness on the boat while we waited for other patrons to sail. If you're sensitive like me, take dramamine an hour before you sail. The staff was as accommodating as can be expected in the middle of the ocean! The photos captured are amazing and well worth the extra $30.

The pickup bus did not arrive even after 10 minutes, and just as I was inquiring by phone, it finally showed up. It was a larger bus than I expected, similar to a sightseeing bus. There was a sign in front, but it was a bit hard to read. Since the phone support was in English, those who only speak Japanese might feel a little worried if the bus doesn't arrive.
We arrived at 10:30, right when it opened. Since we had children and grandparents with us, we rented a cabana, which was very nice. The staff for lunch helped us purchase food, so we could eat without waiting in line, while the grandparents enjoyed watching their grandchildren. It’s a bit pricey, but I recommend the cabana for those with small babies or elderly family members.
My 5-year-old daughter played in the kids' area, while my 3rd-grade son was riding the slides non-stop. It was crowded on Saturday, but we waited about 30 to 40 minutes in line for the Ohana Highway in the morning (I think we lined up during the busiest time). The slide had a wait time of about 3 to 5 minutes. If possible, those riding the slides should wear non-slip sandals (water shoes). When you ride the slide, you have to take off your sandals while waiting, and the ground gets very hot on your feet. Those wearing water shoes were able to ride without taking them off.

The experience was great. The only negative I have is I was suppose to get my military discount refunded after I showed my ID at the time of check in. I still haven't received anything. I definitely would like my refund. Also the parking where Veltra suggested I parked at Ilikai hotel don't validate for free parking. That was $7.00 an hour for two hours. When I could have parked right next to the event and paid for the tickets at the counter I think next time I'll just get my tickets through the counter.

This tour was worth every penny on its own, but our guide ELON made it even better!
We were picked up on time and taken up into the hills of Manoa Valley and went on a hike in the rain forest all the way to the waterfall and back. Hike was not super difficult, but definitely wear shoes (no flip flops).
Next part of the tour was lunch up on Mt Tantalus and then a 30 minute downhill bike ride down the mountain. We stopped halfway down for a pretty nice photo op. The views were amazing! Must point out that the staff made sure we were very safe on the downhill bike ride.
Once we got to the bottom, we were take to the marina, where we boarded a catamaran and went out to the Pacific and snorkelled at the "turtle cleaning station" for about an hour. We saw about 4 or 5 turtles and a ton of fish. Snorkel boat also had sodas and snacks.
We were returned to our hotel around 5pm after a full day adventure.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and HUGE thank you to Elon!!!!!!

I want to start this review by saying that Kieko (our guide) picked us up at our hotel and I was not in the right pick up area. She was actually walking around calling out my name and found me. I cannot thank her enough!!!
The tour was about a half day long - we went in the morning, which I would recommend because it can get crowded at Hanauma as the day goes on.
We were able to lock up our valuables while we were in the water. The tram ride down and back up to the parking lot was awesome
As for the snorkelling - it was AMAZING. I cannot believe how many different species of marine life we saw. So much fun. I did not want to get out of the water!
Hi guys, glad you had a good time. Hope we see you again. Chieko.

After visiting Hawaii ten times, I experienced parasailing for the first time in my 50s! I challenged myself to a height of 150 meters! Before heading out on the boat, music was playing, and I was in a great mood. Life jackets were distributed, and although the boat swayed a bit, we confirmed safety while watching others parasailing around us!
There were about five groups on the boat, but they took photos for us while we waited, making the wait enjoyable! When it was our turn, I felt a bit anxious due to the height, but I was moved by the beautiful sky and scenery! The aerial walk was incredibly fun, and even though I was intentionally dropped into the sea, the water felt great! The landing back on the boat was smooth and not scary at all. The service was attentive until the end, and I highly recommend it!
