We participated with nine people. The boat was private. The staff on the boat were kind, and the parasailing was over in no time. We also requested a video for all nine of us for $30, which they handed to us on an SD card on the way back. It was very calm on the sea, and we were blessed with good weather.

We were really lucky to have just one guide, Alan, for the two of us, which allowed us to experience everything at our own pace. After being picked up at the hotel by the Japanese-speaking Alan, he took us to the office to fit our fins. Then we moved to Hanauma Bay, where we watched a video explanation. (At this time, they distribute translation devices, so we could receive explanations in Japanese.) After that, we took a tram down the slope and left our valuables with them.
Finally, it was time to start snorkeling. I had experienced it about three times before, but it was my husband's first time, so he was a bit nervous. However, they taught us how to use the equipment properly. I’m not a good swimmer, but once I put on the life vest, I floated, and with the mask, I could breathe easily, making snorkeling enjoyable. You can wear contact lenses while using the mask, so visibility is also reassuring.
At one point, my mask loosened, and I accidentally swallowed some saltwater, which was uncomfortable, but Alan fixed it for me, and after that, we were able to continue without any issues. It might be a bit surprising, but if you follow the instructions, even those who are hesitant because they were poor swimmers in gym class can safely explore the underwater world. Alan also took photos for us, and we had a great time. My husband was also engrossed in taking pictures. Unfortunately, we didn’t see any sea turtles, but if possible, I would like to go back to Hanauma Bay and search for them. I usually don’t exercise and had some anxiety, but I want to recommend this to everyone, as it’s fine for beginners! (It’s better to stretch beforehand.) If you have long hair or bangs, it’s best to tie it up, as it can get in the way.
私たち2人に対してガイドのアランさん1人という状態なのでゆっくり自分たちのペースで体験することが出来て本当にラッキーでした。
日本語の上手なアランさんがホテルでピックアップしてくれた後に事務所(?)に連れて行ってくれてフィンのサイズなどを合わせていきます。その後ハナウマ湾に移動するのですがビデオで説明を聞きます。(この時に翻訳の機械を配っているので日本語で説明を受けることが出来ます。)その後トラムで坂道を下り、貴重品などを預かってもらいます。
そしていよいよシュノーケリング開始です。私は3回ほど体験していたのですが主人は初めてなので少し緊張。しかし器具の使い方からきちんと教えてもらえます。私はカナヅチなのですが、救命ベストを身に着けると浮きますし、呼吸もマスクを使えば出来るのでシュノーケリングが楽しく出来ます。コンタクトをつけたままマスクも出来るので視界も安心です。
途中でマスクが緩んだのか、塩水を飲んでしまい苦しかったのですが、アランさんが直してくれて、その後は問題なく再開出来ました。ちょっと驚いてしまうけれど言われたことを守れば、体育の授業でカナヅチだったから・・と敬遠している人でも、安心して水中の世界をのぞけると思います。アランさんも写真を撮ってくださり、本当に楽しかったです。主人も夢中で写真を撮っていました。ウミガメには残念ながら会えなかったのですが、もし出来るならまたハナウマ湾に行ってウミガメを探したいです。普段運動していないし不安もありましたが初心者でも大丈夫!と皆さんにお勧めしたいです。(ストレッチはした方がいいです。)髪の長い人も前髪がかかる人も邪魔になるのでとめておいた方がいいです。

This tour is highly recommended for those who love getting out and active! Our guides Boris and Garrett were very helpful by instructing us on the basics of kayaking and snorkeling. We spent a total of about 1.5 hours snorkeling and about an hour of kayaking. I enjoyed seeing both coral reefs that we visited at the sandbar and loved to learn a little trivia about the place. I saw some wonderful reef fish and some folks even saw turtles. Afterward, we had a home-cooked BBQ lunch. Yum! The scenery was absolutely gorgeous and I hope to come again sometime. By the way, this tour is a ran by Holokai Kayak and Snorkel Adventure, a wonderful group that also runs a children's non-profit program Kama'aina Kids, which provides local children with day camps for learning environmental stewardship. Proceeds go to support the He'eia State Park and its programs. This place should be on your must see list!

Pick up location is litterally right behind the Ilikai Hotel where we stayed. Crew was fun and interactive. Watched others ahead of us go up and come back and the crew took pictures. We however went up (1000ft) and during our return back to the boat, the hydraulic system failed and caused a large whiplash surge to us. Banged our legs against the line but no real damage. Then I noticed a crew member removing his shirt. Why would he do that? Because he was going to get in the water. So we started to touch down into the water, but unlike the others we did not come back up. The parachute and lines sank in the water along with us and we had to release ourselves from the harness as we were being dragged. The one crew memeber dove in to gather the chute as we swam back to the boat.
Best part? I got the whole thing on my chest mounted GoPro. We were fine and it was still quite fun. We just got a bonus. So why did I give it 4/5 stars? Since I was filming it all I recorded only a little over 7 minutes when it was supposed to be a 10 minute round trip ride. So if you go bring a timer and make sure you get what you paid for.
Other than that I do recommend.

I used this tour for my honeymoon. I chose this plan for the morning, thinking we would relax in the afternoon. There were several staff members, and two of them understood Japanese, so even though my English is poor, we were able to enjoy the tour until the end without worry. One of the two was a Japanese woman.
I knew it was natural, but I only saw the sea turtles' heads coming up for air far away a few times. They were too far to capture in photos... I regret not being able to see them up close. From other reviews, it seems some people were able to see them at a distance where they could almost touch them, while others saw nothing at all, so it really depends on luck when it comes to the turtles. I’ll just think of myself as lucky for having seen them at all. The little heads that popped up from the surface were cute, though!
Breakfast consisted of sandwiches and taco chips. It felt more like a light snack than a full breakfast. The timing for eating was just after snorkeling, right before we were about to leave, so it was a perfect moment when we were a bit hungry.
One thing to note is that the stay at the sandbar was only 40 minutes, which is quite short. This time includes the sandbar stay, photo taking, snorkeling preparation, snorkeling explanation, and snorkeling itself, so everything felt rushed. We only snorkeled for a few minutes before heading back. I think this tour is great for those who are okay with just a brief experience at the sandbar and snorkeling, especially if they have plans in the afternoon. However, those who want to enjoy snorkeling more might find it insufficient.
On the way back, you will return in your swimsuit! There is no time or facility to change. You’ll get on the bus before your swimsuit dries. You can sit on the bus while still wet, but the air conditioning is on, and it takes about 40 minutes to get to the hotel, so I was freezing and almost got a stomachache. I immediately took a warm shower when I got back to the hotel. I recommend being prepared to change quickly and taking measures against the cold, even without bath towels or changing rooms.
ハネムーンで利用しました。
午前中のプランで、午後はゆっくりしようと思いこのツアーを選択しました。
スタッフは数名いて、内2人は日本語が理解できる方でしたので、英語がさっぱりな私たちでも安心してツアーを最後まで楽しむことができました。
2りのうち1人は日本人女性の方でした。
自然のものなのでわかっていましたが、うみがめは遥か遠くの方で息継ぎをしに頭が海面から出てるのが数回見れただけでした。
遠すぎて写真に収めることができず・・・近くで見れなかったのが心残りです。
他の方のクチコミを見ると本当に触れるか触れないかの距離で見れた方もいらっしゃる一方、全然見れなかったという方もいらっしゃるみたいなので、うみがめについては完全に運ですね。
私も見れただけでも幸運だと思うようにします^^
ちょこっと海面から出た頭は可愛かったですよ 笑
朝食はサンドイッチとタコスチップス?でした。朝食というよりは軽食という感じです。
食べるタイミングはシュノーケルの後、帰る間際でしたので、ちょっと小腹が空いたなという丁度よいタイミングだったと思います。
注意することとしては、サンドバー滞在時間が40分と少ないこと。
サンドバー滞在+写真撮影+シュノーケル準備+シュノーケル説明+シュノーケル 全部含めての40分なので、全てが大急ぎでした。
シュノーケルも数分したらすぐに引き返す感じでした。
サンドバーもシュノーケルもさわり程度でいい方+午後から予定がある方には、もってこいのツアーだと思います。
ただ、シュノーケルを沢山楽しみたい方は物足りないと思います。
帰りは水着のまま帰ることになります!
着替える時間や施設はありません。水着が乾く前にバスに乗ることになります。
バスは濡れたままでも座ってOKですが、バスの中はクーラーも効いてますし、ホテルまで40分ほどありますので、寒くて寒くて私はお腹壊す直前でした。
ホテルに帰って即行シャワーで暖をとりました。
バスタオルや更衣室がなくてもサッ着替えれる準備、冷え対策などしていくことをおすすめします。

The staff who are super skilled in Japanese will take you around. They will enter from a completely different place than those who come on their own and will show you the wonderful points of Hanauma Bay. I encountered a turtle inside, and it was so cute! It was my first time seeing a turtle breathe. The bay is vast, and you need to visit key spots, so I definitely recommend going with an expert rather than going on your own!

On December 30, 2013, I participated with my family of six. Whether or not we encounter whales is purely a matter of luck, so there's nothing we can do about that. What we saw were the distant spouts and the tail of a whale. Unfortunately, we couldn't have an experience that we could truly say was "seeing a whale." The weather was nice, so I comforted myself by thinking of it as a cruise. Since it was early in the morning, we opted for a breakfast plan, but given the price, I didn't have high expectations, and it turned out as expected. There was quite a bit of time before we reached the whale watching point, so it might be nice to have a light snack and drink some coffee while passing the time. There weren't too many people, so we didn't have issues seeing the whales, but it would have been great if we had encountered them. What a shame.
2013/12/30に家族6名で参加しました。くじらに巡り合えるかどうか、こればかりは運ですので仕方ありませんが、見えたのは遠~くのくじらの潮吹きとくじらの尾びれでした。
残念ながら”くじらを見た”と言える体験はできませんでした。お天気はよかったので、クルーズをしたと思って自分をなぐさめました。朝早かったので、朝食つきプランにしましたが、まあこの値段ですし期待はしていませんでしたが予想どおり。くじらのポイントまではけっこう時間があったので、軽く食べてコーヒーでも飲みながら時間をつぶすにはいいのではないでしょうか。人が多すぎてクジラがみえないとかそういうことはなかったので、くじらにさえ出会えていればよかったですね。残念。
Thank you for choosing our cruise. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you aboard again.

Husband and daughter loved this trip. It was the highlight of our vacation. This is our 2nd catamaran trip from this harbor but first time with this company. Staff was top notch: knowledgeable about dolphin conservation, friendly, professional. Exceptional all around. My daughter snorkeled with a staff member and he swam to the bottom to get her a shell, cleaned it properly and gave it to her. Husband loved the bar. Only gripe: a lower price should be charged for all under 21 yrs old since they don't get alcohol like the adults do but pay the same price.

It was my first time parasailing!
Unfortunately, the weather was not great with some rain and cloudy skies, which made the view disappointing, but it gave me a reason to challenge myself to try again next time! (laughs)
I had seen reviews mentioning that some people couldn't get on the trolley, so I was worried, but I was able to board the trolley without any issues. The staff mainly spoke English, but they also spoke a little Japanese, and for the important explanations, they provided a sheet written in Japanese, which was reassuring.
The parasailing experience itself was simply amazing! It was a unique experience to look down at Waikiki from above the ocean, which was really great. The boat was quite rocky, and while I didn't get seasick, those who are prone to motion sickness might want to take some medication just to be safe. However, the day I participated, the sea was unusually rough, so it might have been particularly bumpy...
初めてのパラセイリングでした!
あいにくの天気で雨がぱらついたり、曇っていて景色は残念でしたが次回チャレンジに挑む理由ができました!笑
口コミでトロリーに乗れなかった方がいると見ていたので心配でしたが、難なくトロリーに乗ることができました。
スタッフの方もメインは英語を話されていましたが日本語も少し話されていましたし、大事な説明の部分は日本語で書かれた用紙を渡されますので安心でした。
パラセイリング自体は最高の一言!

I came to Hawaii as part of my work and participated in a dolphin tour that I had been interested in for a while during my free time. The meeting time was early at 6 AM, but I was able to swim not only with dolphins but also with sea turtles and fish, and I got to experience kayaking as well. Additionally, there was a mini lesson for hula dancing that I could join! It was a half-day tour, and the staff were cheerful and it was a lot of fun. I definitely want to participate again. If I had to mention something, the tour photos were available for purchase on a USB for $60, but when I looked at them later, I realized there weren't many of my photos, so while it was a nice keepsake, I felt it wasn't necessary to buy them.

It was a budget trip, so our motto was to go wherever we could without relying on tours.
However, this sandbar experience required taking a boat, so we decided to participate!
In the morning, a shuttle bus came right to our accommodation, which made us feel at ease as the tour began.
We headed to the dock with a cheerful guide wearing a captain's hat. Just seeing the captain's hat made us even more excited!
After that, we arrived at the dock and boarded a boat exclusively for Japanese guests!
The sea was wonderful, but the mountains surrounding it were also magnificent. It truly felt like a movie location.
We arrived at the sandbar in no time.
Oh my! The excitement of standing on the sandbar was overwhelming!!
As someone from a landlocked prefecture, it was even more special!!
The depth of the sandbar varies by location, so be sure to find a good spot for photos.
I got overly excited and ended up striking gravure poses while taking pictures (laughs).
We also enjoyed lunch on the boat in a fantastic location.
After that, we moved by boat to see the fish at the coral reef.
From the boat, we encountered several sea turtles, which brought our excitement to its peak.
I had previously gone scuba diving in Guam to see tropical fish, but this snorkeling experience allowed us to see plenty of fish without heavy gear, so I truly realized the value of this plan again!!!
If you're lucky, you can swim with sea turtles!
It's a very enjoyable plan.
However, I had a few questions.
It mentioned that we could disband locally, so I planned to go to Kailua from the dock. I asked another tour company how to get from the dock to Kailua, but they couldn't figure it out, and I was advised to ask the staff on the day.
But when I checked with the staff that day, they said there were no means of transportation from the dock, and I needed to return to the hotel. So, we had to return to the hotel unexpectedly, and due to time constraints, we couldn't do any sightseeing afterward.
It seemed that the local disbanding option was intended for those with rental cars, but honestly, it was unclear.
However, the sandbar was fun, so if there hadn't been any misunderstandings, it would have been a very satisfying tour!
節約旅行だったため、なるべく自分達で行けるところは、ツアーに頼らずにいくがモットーの旅行でした。
しかしこのサンドバーは船に乗らないと体験できない内容でしたので参加を決めました!
朝、宿泊していたすぐ近くまで迎えのバスが来てくれたので、安心してツアーが始まりました。
陽気な船長帽をかぶった男性の案内で船着場まで向かいます。
船長帽をかぶってるだけですが、ワクワクが増してきます!
その後、船着場に到着して日本人専用の船に乗り込み出向です!
海も素晴らしいですが、海を囲む山々も壮大です。さすが映画のロケ地のことはあります。
そんなに時間がかからないで、サンドバーに到着。
んもーー!サンドバーに立てた瞬間の感動はひとしおです!!
私海なし県民なので、余計ですね!!
サンドバーにも場所によって深さが違うので、良いロケーションを探して写真をとってください。
私は無駄にテンションが上がりすぎて、なぜかグラビアポーズをしながら写真撮影をしました(笑)
素晴らしいロケーションの中、舟のうえでのランチも満喫
その後、サンゴ礁でお魚さんを見に舟に乗って移動。
船の上から、何頭かウミガメにも出会えてテンション最高潮。
以前グアムでスキューバダイビングをして熱帯魚鑑賞しましたが、そんな重装備でなく、今回のシュノーケリングで十分にお魚をみれたので、このプランのお得さを再実感!!!
運が良ければウミガメと一緒に泳げます!
とっても満喫できるプランです。
但し何点か疑問点が。
現地解散可能とあったので、船着場から近くのカイルアに行こうと予定していました。
他社の観光会社で船着場からカイルアの行き方を調べてもらいましたが、結局解らず、当日のスタッフさんにきいたほうが良いとアドバイスをうけました。
ですが当日スタッフ確認したら、船着場から移動手段がないので、ホテルに戻って欲しい。とのことで、急遽ホテルに戻ることになり、
結局時間の関係でその後の観光はできずじまいでした
現地解散はレンタカーのある人向けの記述だったようですが、正直わかりづらかったです。
ですが、サンドバーは楽しかったので、誤解がなければとても満足できるツアーでした!!

After seeing the photos, I thought it was such a beautiful place that I decided to book a trip to Hawaii.
The result was just okay. The ocean was beautiful, and I was able to see sea turtles up close. The sandbar was nice and clean. However, the snorkeling was a bit disappointing; for safety reasons, we had to swim back along a designated route in the same direction as everyone else, which meant getting kicked by others and it felt cramped. It was like being in a sardine can.
The bus ride to and from the location was very cold, and even with two towels after getting wet, I caught a cold. I think it's really important to prepare for the cold.
写真をみて、とっても美しい所でぜひいってみたいと思ってハワイ旅行を決めた時にまず予約しました。

海はきれいだし、ウミガメも近くで見えました。
サンドバーは、きれいで、良かったです。ただ、シュノーケルは安全のためなんだろうが、決められたルートをみんなで同じ方向に泳いで戻るというもので、人に蹴られるし、狭くって泳いでる感じはなかったです。芋洗いって感じでした。

The instruction was quick and they send you off on your own on a very quick test course. Ive never rode ATVs before and was very nervous but after a while I got used to it. We rode in a line there were 6 of us total including in the guide. I was starting to get tired (it was 85 degrees out) and hands were feeling sore I kept wondering when we were going to stop for a break. We eventually did and the views were breathtaking. The guide let us take some pictures. I was expecting the guide to stop at certain locations and tell us which movies were filmed where, but he barely talked. He just said "Yeah 50 first dates was filmed on the other side of this mountain, so was Jurassic Park.." I already knew that before this "tour" so I didn't learn anything new :( Overall the ride was fun I just expected more.
Tip: They offer you shower caps before you put on the helmet and please do get it!! The helmets smell so bad.

On the day of the tour, there were about 15 people in the group, and we were the only Japanese participants. The location was accessed from quite a distance before the usual entrance to the Manoa Falls hike. I was a bit worried because the tour reviews mentioned walking silently like in military training, but in reality, we progressed at a comfortable pace that matched the participants, and the guide provided very detailed explanations about Hawaii's nature and wildlife at various points, which was truly enjoyable☆☆
We walked near a stream to reach the waterfall, so the sound of the water was soothing, and I felt relaxed by the sounds of birds and the wind. This route is different from the Manoa Falls hike, and the waterfall at the end is also different. On the way back, we returned through a bamboo grove. Since there are muddy areas and we crossed a river, I recommend borrowing rubber boots at the beginning. It felt a bit adventurous and was a lot of fun! With rubber boots, you can proceed without worrying about water or mud.
The tour is not specifically for Japanese speakers, and the guide does not speak Japanese, so I think having some English skills would enhance the experience. However, since this hike goes through private land and is a route you can't access on the usual Manoa course, I highly recommend it for those who love Hawaii's nature. It is truly healing and a lot of fun!
I think you'll enjoy communicating with various participants as you climb together! I definitely want to participate again next time♪
当日は大体15人ぐらいのグループで、日本人は私たちだけでした。
場所は通常マノアフォールハイキングに行く入口よりかなり手前からマノアに入ります。ツアーの体験談に軍隊の訓練のように黙々と歩くと書いてあったので、少し心配でしたが、実際はツアーの参加者のペースに合わせて無理なく進み、所々でガイドさんがとても丁寧にハワイの自然や動物について説明してくれて本当に楽しかったです☆☆
また、小川の近くを歩いて滝まで行くので、水の音が心地よく、鳥や風の音にも癒されました。
マノアフォールハイキングとは違うコースで、ゴールの滝も違いますし、帰り道は竹林を戻りました。ぬかるんでいる所や、川を渡ったりするので、始めに長靴を借りる事をオススメします。少し冒険みたいな感じですごく楽しかったです!長靴だと水や泥も気にせずどんどん進めます。
ツアーは日本人向けではなく、ガイドさんも日本語は話せないので、ある程度英語が出来たほうが楽しめるとは思いますが、私有地を行くハイキングで、マノアの通常のコースとは違い自分では行けないコースなので、ハワイの自然が大好きという方には是非オススメしたいです。本当に癒されます、そしてすごく楽しい!
ツアーの参加者と協力しながら登ると思うので、いろんな方とコミュニケーションが出来て楽しいですよ!
次回もまた是非参加したいです♪
マハロABB、ツアーを楽しんでいただけて嬉しいです。また来て、ハワイの別の冒険を体験してください。
Mahalo ABB, We are happy you enjoyed the tour. Please come again and try a different adventure to experience more of Hawaii..

We used this for our first family trip. I wanted to take my parents, who are in their 60s, to do some ocean activities, but I was worried about my mother, who has a disability in her left arm, and whether she could swim. I applied for this tour because it mentioned that you could enjoy it even while on the boat. The sea was calm with no waves, and my mother was able to snorkel safely. She said the staff took lots of pictures and grilled delicious hamburgers, which was really great. I enjoyed it myself as well.
初めての家族旅行で利用
60代の両親をなにか海のアクティビティに連れて行ってあげたかったのですが、母は左腕に障害があるので泳げるか不安でした。このツアーは船の上にいても楽しめると書いてあったので申し込みました。波もなく穏やかな海で母はシュノーケリングも無事に出来、スタッフもたくさん写真を撮ってくれたりおいしいハンバーガーを焼いてくれてすごく良かったと言っていました。私自身も楽しめました。

The tour consisted of 12 people in groups of two and three. Usually, the pickup van for tours is late, but this one arrived on time.
We took a large boat until we reached the sea. Since the sun was quite strong, I was glad I wore a UV cardigan over my swimsuit. The instructions for putting on the equipment were in English, as mentioned in other experiences, but they used gestures to explain, so I understood it somewhat. Plus, they guided us, so it was fine to just go with the flow.
I attempted the 150m challenge, and while the cable swayed a bit like a swing when it stretched, that added to the thrill and made it fun. Up high, it was very quiet, and I could feel the wind in the sky, which was an amazing feeling. (I took off the cardigan.) The men participating wore life jackets and swim trunks, and after jumping, they put on their T-shirts again.
During the landing, we were soaked up to our waists in the sea, and it was funny to see ourselves recorded on the SD card. I highly recommend buying the SD card ($30). Just let them know "SD please" before you go parasailing, and it's all set. We looked like we were having a great time in the photos.
If I do it again, I noticed that I was mostly showing my backside in the pictures, so I plan to place the guard closer to my thighs like my husband did for more stability.
2人3組、3人2組の、計12人でのツアーでした。
ツアーだとお迎えのバンは大抵遅れるのですが、こちらは時間とおりに到着してくれました。
海へ出るまでは大型ボートに乗ります。かなり日差しが強かったのでUVカーディガンを水着の上に羽織って正解でした。
器具を装着するなどの説明は、体験談にあるように英語でしたが、ジェスチャーで表現してくれるので何となくわかりました。それにやってくださるのでそのままGOで大丈夫です。
150mに挑戦しましたが、ケーブルが伸びる時にグラっとぶらんこのように少し揺れますが、それがまた恐怖で楽しかったし、高い高い上空はとても静かで、空の風を肌で感じることが出来たのが、最高の気分でした。(カーディガンは脱ぎました)
参加された男性もライフジャケットに海パンというスタイルで、飛んだ後にまた手持ちのTシャツを着るという感じでした。
着陸の時には腰まで海に浸かって、びしゃびしゃな私たちがSDカードに記録されていて可笑しかったです。SDカード($30)は絶対買った方がいいです。パラセイリングで飛ぶ前にSDプリーズと伝えればOK。
とても楽しそうな自分たちが写っていました。
次回やるとしたら、ひざに近いモモ裏にガードをあてたらお尻ばかり見せるように写っていたので、こんどは安定していた主人のようにお尻に近いモモ裏にガードをあてようと思います。

Great time! We felt as though we got a "two for one" as we enjoyed the boat ride as other couples parasailed in addition to our parasailing! It was surprisingly peaceful. I also enjoyed doing a dry take off and landing (we also did the water dip).

I wanted to try a variety of dishes, so I have enjoyed buffet dinners at various hotels, but I think Prince Court was the most delicious. The saltiness of the crab was just right (at other places, the saltiness was too strong, and I couldn't eat much), the sushi was tasty with delicious rice, and the meat dishes were seasoned to my liking. The desserts were also delicious, making it a satisfying dinner.
「数多くの料理を食べたい!」という理由で、色んなホテル内の、ビュッフェディナーを食べて来ましたが、プリンスコートが、一番美味しかったと思います。蟹の塩気も程好く(他の所は塩味が強過ぎて、あまり食べられなかった)寿司も寿司飯が美味しかったし、肉料理も私好みの味付けでした。また、デザートも美味しくて満足したディナーでした。
