At 7 AM, we were picked up from the hotel and headed to Hanauma Bay, which has been selected as the No. 1 best beach. This shallow sea, formed from a collapsed volcanic crater, is teeming with fish. You can swim surprisingly close to them.
The reason for the early morning start is that the parking lot fills up quickly. Due to conservation efforts, the parking capacity is small, and once it reaches full capacity, the gates are closed. During this time before the summer vacation in Japan, there are fewer Japanese tourists, and many locals are present. Also, there are plenty of cats on the beach.
And guess what!! A large guest, a seal, was there. Previously, they could only be seen a few times a year, but now it seems they are visiting almost every day.
Chieko from Blue Hawaii Divers kindly explained how to use the snorkel, and as soon as I dipped my face into the water, I could see fish right in front of me at a depth where I could still stand. As I continued swimming among the schools of fish, I finally spotted a sea turtle. Since it was featured in the educational video about Hanauma Bay, I kept my distance and was able to swim alongside it.
早朝7時のホテルピックアップでNo.1ベストビーチにも選ばれたハナウマ湾に。元々火口だったところが落ち込んでできた遠浅の海に魚がいっぱい。
びっくりするくらい近くで泳ぐことがでできます。
朝がやたらと早い理由は駐車場がいっぱいになってしまうからだそう。
自然保護のためか駐車場のキャパシティーが小さいので、いっぱいになった時点でゲートを閉じてしまうそうです。
日本の学校の夏休み前のこの時期は日本人が少なく、地元の人がいっぱい。そしてビーチには猫もいっぱい。
そしてなんと!!大きな先客、アザラシ君が。
以前は年数回しか見られなかった彼らですが、今ならほぼ毎日と言っていいくらい訪れているみたいです。
ブルーハワイダイバーズのチエコさんが丁寧にシュノーケルの説明をしてくれ、軽く水面に顔をつけると足の着く深さにももうすぐ目の前に魚が。
魚群の中泳ぎ続けるとようやくウミガメが。
ハナウマ湾の教育ビデオにもあったので遠巻きにして、一緒に泳ぐことができました。

I'm glad I was able to see the dolphins, but I felt that the time spent on other activities (like the staff's performance) was a bit wasted compared to the time swimming with the dolphins. I think it would have been better to visit a few more spots to increase the time spent swimming with the dolphins.
イルカは見ることができて良かったのですが、イルカと泳げた時間に対して、それ以外(スタッフさんのパフォーマンス等)の時間が勿体なかったかな?何ヵ所かポイントを回ってイルカと泳ぐ時間を増やす方が良かったと思います。
Thank you for your comment. Regarding the time spent swimming with the dolphins, we determine the duration with consideration for the dolphins' well-being. We completely understand your feelings, but Dolphin & You is an eco-friendly tour that respects nature, so we appreciate your understanding.

I saw in the reviews that there wouldn't be any staff who spoke Japanese, so I participated, but there were some! Thanks to that, I was able to enjoy myself without any trouble.
Since it was in the mountains, I thought the sunlight would be strong, so I applied plenty of sunscreen and wore long sleeves. However, my arms, nose, and cheeks, which were exposed when I rolled up my sleeves a bit, got sunburned bright red.
The staff wore helmets over hats with brims, so if you're concerned about sunburn, I think it's a good idea to do the same.
The price is high, but everything in Hawaii tends to be on the expensive side, so it can't be helped.
体験談を見て 日本語を話せるスタッフさんがいないとわかって参加しましたが いました❗お陰で 困る事なく楽しく過ごせました
山なので日差しが強いと思い 日焼け止めをたっぷり塗って 長袖を着ていきましたが ちょっと袖をまくってたら 出てた腕と鼻とほっぺが真っ赤に日焼けをしてしまいました
スタッフさんたちは つばのある帽子の上にヘルメットをかぶってたので 日焼けが気になる方は そうされた方がいいかと思います
金額は高いですが ハワイでは 何もかもお高めなので 仕方ないですね~

I wanted to go on a buggy ride (I had been on a tour before and this time I just wanted to do the buggy), so I chose this affordable plan. However, I was worried about having to gather at the meeting point. Taking a taxi would require a lot of money, and I was scared to drive a rental car (I have no experience with left-hand drive and driving on the right side), so I was unsure what to do. I found out online that I could also take The Bus, so I decided to give it a try.
The Bus costs $2.75 one way, but a day pass is $5.50, so considering the return trip, it’s better to buy the day pass for peace of mind (you won’t have to worry if you make a mistake! You can also stop for a restroom break or shopping!). You just need to hand cash to the driver when you get on the bus and say something like, “One day, please.” I don’t think tipping is necessary.
The Bus to Kualoa Ranch departs from the Ala Moana Shopping Center. The number is 55. The starting point is on the mountain side, but it also goes by the ocean side bus stop, so either way is fine. The ocean side bus stop requires a short walk towards the airport (opposite of Waikiki) from the trolley stop.
It takes about an hour to arrive. There’s an electronic display board at the front of the bus, similar to Japanese buses, where you can check the destination. The stops will be Kualoa Maintenance, Kualoa Regional Park, and then Kualoa Ranch. It’s safer to press the stop request button (or pull the cord) a bit earlier than in Japan. Even if Kualoa Ranch doesn’t show up on the display after passing Regional Park, it’s better to press it just in case. However, since there will likely be other people getting off, you might not need to worry too much about it. Just be careful not to miss your stop.
Also, the bus can be very cold, so those who are sensitive to the cold should be cautious.
As for the meeting place, there wasn’t any specific designation. After passing through the visitor center, there’s a ticket office, and suddenly, a local staff member who speaks Japanese will start explaining things (not at the ticket office, but further back in a grassy area). If you’re unsure, it’s quickest to ask any staff member if there’s someone who speaks Japanese.
In any case, you will need to show your voucher at the ticket office to receive your buggy ticket. After getting the ticket, go to the buggy check-in (marked as ATV) about 10 minutes before it starts, where you’ll be asked to sign a document stating you won’t complain if you get injured. After signing, you’ll be guided to a small hut where you can watch a Japanese explanation video. After that, you’ll put on a helmet (available in sizes S, M, L) and large transparent glasses for allergies before getting on the buggy.
From there, the experience is similar to others, so I’ll skip the details. Just go with the flow. There are various people, and some may not drive well, so it can go quite slowly. It’s important to have an open mind and be prepared for that. Instead of trying to go fast or keep up with the person in front, the key is to enjoy the scenery safely.
The course is quite bumpy, so it’s best to be careful not to go off course or bump into the person ahead of you while having fun. They will take photos along the way, which you can buy at the end for $15. However, they will also take pictures with your own camera (for free), so if you can take your own photos, you might not need to buy theirs.
自分はバギーをしたかったので(以前にツアーで行ったことがあり、今回はバギーのみしたかった)、安いこちらのプランにしました。ただ、現地に集合しないといけない点が不安でした。
タクシーで行くならかなり大金が必要になり、レンタカーは運転が怖かった(左ハンドル、右側通行の経験なし)のでどうしようかなと。
ネットでThe Busでも行けるとのことで、試しに行ってみました。
The Busは片道2.75ドルですが、一日乗車券が5.5ドルなので、帰りの分を考えると一日乗車券を購入した方が精神的な安定を保てます(もし間違えても大丈夫!途中でトイレやショッピングモールに寄りたくなっても大丈夫!)。どちらもバスに乗る際に運転手さんに現金を渡し、「ワンデー プリーズ」とか言えば大丈夫です。チップは不要と思います。
クアロアランチへのThe Busはアラモアナショッピングセンターから出ています。番号は55番です。裏側(山側)が始発となっていますが、海側のバス停を経由しますので、どちらに行っても大丈夫です。海側のバス停はトロリーの乗り場より空港方面(ワイキキ方面と逆)に数分歩く必要があります。
大体1時間くらいで着きます。バスの前方に日本のバスみたいな電光掲示板があり、行き先を確認することができます。クアロアランチのバス停の前からクアロア○○というのが続きます。Kamehameha Hwy(カメハメハハイウェイ)ーKualoa Maintenance→Kualoa Resional Park→Kualoa Ranchの順で止まります。Stop Request(停止ボタン、もしくは縄みたいなのを引く)は日本より早めに押します。Resional Parkが過ぎたあたりで電光掲示板にKualoa Ranchが出なくても押した方が無難です。ただ、他にも降りる人がいると思うので、そこまで気にしなくても良いかもしれません。寝過ごさないように注意が必要です。
あと、バスの中はとても寒いので、寒さに弱い人は注意が必要です。
集合場所については、特に指定もありませんでした。ビジターセンターを抜けるとチケットオフィスがあり、気がついたら突然日本語を話せる現地のスタッフの説明が始まります(チケットオフィスではなく、さらに奥の原っぱみたいな所です)。分からなければ、まずは誰でも良いので日本語のスタッフがいないか、そこの辺にいるスタッフに聞くのが早いです。
ただ、いずれにしても、チケットオフィスでバウチャーを見せて、バギーのチケットをもらうことには変わりはありません。チケットをもらったら、始まる10分前にバギーの受付(ATVと書いてあります)に行くと、まずは怪我しても文句を言いません的な書類にサインをしろと言われます。そこにサインをすると次に日本語の説明ビデオを見れるような小屋に案内され、ビデオが流れます。それを見てから、その小屋内にあるヘルメット(サイズはS、M、Lなど)、花粉症用みたいな透明、大きめのメガネをつけてバギーに乗ります。それ以降は他の体験談と同じなので割愛します。なるようになります。色々な人がおり、運転が下手な人もいるため、すごいゆっくりになることもあります。その辺の覚悟、広い心は必要です。速く走ることや前の人について行こうと頑張るよりは、安全かつ周りの景色を楽しみながら行くのがコツと思います。
結構凸凹してますので、コースアウトしないことや前の人にぶつからないように注意して楽しむのが良いと思います。
途中で写真を撮られ、それは最後に15ドルで売ってます。でも自分で持ってきたカメラでも写真を撮ってくれますので(もちろんタダ)、自分たちのカメラで撮れれば必要ないと思います。

I swam with about 10 participants and 2 instructors. The sea was beautiful and clear, and just swimming felt really good. On that day, I was surprised to see a seal napping on the beach. I couldn't find a sea turtle right away, but I was glad to see one in the end. The sea turtles are cute, and even with people around, they swim gracefully, making it fun to swim alongside them. I probably wouldn't have been able to find them on my own. It's important to remember to wear your swimsuit under your clothes, as there may not be time to change.
10人くらいの参加者と2人のインストラクターで泳ぎました。海は綺麗で澄んでいて、ただ泳いでいるだけでとても気持ち良かったです。
この日は、なんとアザラシがビーチでお昼寝をしていて、びっくりしました。
海亀はすぐには見つかりませんでしたが、最後に見つかって良かったです。
海亀はかわいくて、人が周りにいても優雅に泳いでいるので、楽しく一緒に泳げました。
たぶん個人では絶対に見つけられなかったとおもいます。
水着は、服の下に着て行くのを忘れると、着替える時間がないので注意が必要です。
Dear Emi-chan, thank you for participating in the tour. On that day, there was quite a significant low tide, so I thought we might not be able to swim over the coral reef and that there might not be any sea turtles inside. However, we were very lucky to find them in the beautiful Sandman's Patch. It was great that you were able to swim with the sea turtles for a long time! You were truly a fortunate guest to also meet the seals!!
We would be delighted if you could join our tour again when you come back to Hawaii. We are always here waiting for you.
Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

We participated in a tour with my grandmother in her 70s and my 6-year-old daughter, spanning three generations.

My daughter wanted to see a stingray, and I wanted to see a sea turtle, and we were both very satisfied as our wishes came true.

We signed up as a family of six, and my elderly mother joined us for the tour while five of us, including my two elementary school-aged sons, participated! With the support of our guide Chieko, even as a beginner, I was able to see not only sea turtles but also many beautiful fish! We swam for about an hour, and my younger son, who is in lower elementary school, had to take a break and head back to the beach, but I was really glad we got to see the sea turtles before that.
Even if you're not confident in your swimming skills, there's no need to worry about drowning; as long as you can breathe calmly through your mouth, you should be fine. There will be explanations during the preparation phase, but since we swim close to the rocky areas and the water temperature is lower in the morning, I think it's better for those who are concerned to rent a wetsuit.
I was tired, but I was truly satisfied to see the underwater world that I've only seen on TV. After the tour, my two sons immediately bought snorkeling sets at ABC Store. If I have the chance, I would definitely like to participate again.
家族6人で申し込み、1人年配の母は見学で小学生2人の息子を含む5名で参加しました!
ガイドのchiekoさんのサポートもあり、初心者私も含めてウミガメはもちろん、綺麗な魚をたくさん見ることが出来ました!
約1時間泳ぎっぱなしになるので低学年の次男は途中で浜辺へ引き上げましたが、その前にウミガメが見れて本当に良かったです。
泳ぎに自信がなくても溺れる心配はなく、落ち着いて口呼吸さえできれば問題ないと思います。
準備段階で説明がありますが、岩場のすぐそばを泳ぐこと、午前中は水温も低めのため気になる方はウエットスーツをレンタルされた方が良いと思います。
疲れましたが、テレビ等でしか見たことのない海の中を実際に見れて本当に満足です。

I participated at 120M. I had some anxiety before the pickup, but since all the participants were Japanese and the captain was friendly, I felt at ease! The boat goes fast and rocks quite a bit. When one group took off, the participants clapped and chatted, so by the time it was our turn to fly, my nerves had eased. I was worried until the day before because I have a fear of heights and thought I shouldn't have made the reservation... but once I actually flew, the fun outweighed the fear! It didn't feel that high; I couldn't even tell if the water was below us. If you're lucky, you can see planes flying close by. A few minutes go by in the blink of an eye. At the end, there’s a splashdown, so you will get wet. When being driven back, the car seat got wet, so it's better to bring a towel. I gave a $10 tip when getting off the boat. I also purchased the photo service for $30, and it was definitely worth it as a keepsake! I want to do parasailing again. I highly recommend this activity.

I had my two children take one-on-one lessons. Both the staff and surfers were friendly. My kids were able to stand up during the lesson and have developed a liking for surfing. I think the most challenging part of surfing is paddling, but the surfers pull you back out to the ocean after riding the waves, making it easier to focus solely on surfing. They don't help adults much with paddling, though! I will definitely use this service again when I go to Hawaii.

I participated in the 150m tour. There were a total of 8 participants on the boat, and everyone except us was foreign. The tour was conducted entirely in English, but the atmosphere made it manageable. Those who struggle with English might find it difficult.
The scenery during the parasailing was very beautiful. However, at 150m above the ground, we were hit by heavy rain and strong winds, which caused significant turbulence. It was quite scary. On the other hand, the rain created a rainbow, and I had the rare experience of looking down at a rainbow.
Since the actual flying time isn't very long, the cost-performance ratio might not be very good.
150mに参加しました。
船に乗ったのは、ツアー参加者は計8人で、私たち以外は外人の方でした。
ツアーは、終始英語で進行しますが、雰囲気でなんとかなります。辛い人は辛いと思います。
実際のパラセーリングでは、景色がとても綺麗でした。
しかし、150m上空で、大雨と強風に見舞われ、相当に揺れるというトラブルもありました。結構怖かったです。
一方で、雨によって虹が発生し、虹を下に見下ろすという貴重な体験ができました。
実際に飛んでいる時間はあまり長くない為、コスパはあまり良くないかも知れません。

I was worried because I don't have a high income, but I was able to go up without feeling scared, and I enjoyed the best feeling! Before and after parasailing, I was taken by a boat, but the waves were quite rough and intense, so I got seasick! Also, if you wish, they will take photos for you, but it's $30 for cash and $35 for credit, so it's better to bring some cash, including tips.
高い所得意でないので、やらまで不安でしたが、怖がる間も無く上に上がっていけるので、最高の気分を楽しめました!
パラセイリングする前後に花で連れて行ってもらうのですが、そちらが結構波が荒く激しいので、船酔いしました!
あと、希望すれば写真を撮る撮ってくれるのですが、現金だと30ドルでクレジットだと35ドルなので、現金は、チップも含めてある程度持って行った方が良いです。

Wow! I didn't expect to experience such a refreshing feeling! We went out on a motorboat off the coast of Waikiki and went up with a parachute, getting a fantastic view of the city from the sea. I highly recommend it!
いやぁ!あんなに爽快感味わえると思いませんでした(#^.^#)モーターボートでワイキキ沖に出て、パラシュート?で上に上がってワイキキの街を海から見放題(#^.^#)お薦めです(#^.^#)

I was surprised by how much speed I picked up!
I used the oars to paddle until we got out to sea.
I also enjoyed the sensation of being slammed down onto the water's surface when hitting larger waves.
Even for those who can't surf, it was a refreshing experience that allowed me to understand the feelings of surfers!
思いの外スピードが出たのでビックリしました!
沖に出るまでオールを使って漕いでいきます。
大きめの波に当たると落差でドンと水面に叩きつけられる感覚も楽しめました。
サーフィンが出来ない人でもサーファーの気持ちがわかるような、爽快感のある体験ができました!
Dear Koji,
Thank you very much for your five-star review! You are absolutely right. Outrigger canoe "surfing" is indeed riding the waves while on a canoe. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it! Outrigger canoeing is a stable and very safe activity, so even those who cannot swim and customers of various ages can enjoy it! We look forward to your next visit! Please consider using our one-hour charter next time! With the charter (charged by the hour), you can ride the waves multiple times within the reserved time, and participants can switch places during the ride. Additionally, with the charter, you can reserve two canoes together, making it suitable for team-building events as well.
We look forward to your next visit!

I was worried about not being able to see any dolphins, but I ended up seeing a lot of them. I was so absorbed in dolphin watching that before I knew it, my husband and I had separated while watching. It was also fun dancing on the boat!
イルカに会えなかったら?と不安もありましたが、たくさんのイルカに会えました
イルカ鑑賞に夢中で、気付けば夫婦バラバラになって見てました。笑
船の上でのダンスも楽しくて良かったです
Thank you for your happy comment. Please come and visit us again!

I was a bit anxious because the shuttle didn't arrive at the pickup location even after some time, but after waiting for a few minutes, it finally came to pick us up. For parasailing, I decided to go for the height of 150 meters since I was there. I was excited from the moment they put on the parachute, and once we took off, we quickly ascended high into the sky, revealing a breathtaking view that spread out before me. It felt wonderful to be so high up, and I wanted to keep flying forever. My husband seemed very satisfied as well.
At the end, we had a lot of fun splashing in the water up to our waists. I'm glad I participated; it became a wonderful memory.
On the way back, there were a few people who looked exhausted from seasickness. Fortunately, the weather was good and the waves weren't too high this time, but the boat does rock a lot, so I think it's better for anyone who isn't confident to take motion sickness medication in advance.
ピックアップ場所に時間が過ぎても送迎車が来なくてひやひやしましたが、数十分待って無事に迎えがきました。パラセイリングの高さはせっかくならと150mで参加。パラシュートを装着するところからわくわくし、飛び立ったと思ったらぐんぐんと高く上がり目の前にはとても綺麗な景色がいっきに広がり感動しました。とても高く上がるので気持ちが良く、いつまでも飛んでいたくなります。主人も大満足だったようです。
最後に腰の上あたりまでボチャンもしてもらって盛り上がりました。
参加して良かったです。とても良い思い出になりました。
帰り際には船酔いでぐったりされている方が数名いました。今回お天気がよくそこまで波は高くありませんでしたが、船はよく揺れるので自信がある方以外は事前に酔い止めを飲んでおいたほうが良いと思います。

I participated with my son, who is slightly taller than 92 cm. I was really worried about the height restrictions and what would happen if they said something, but we were able to board without any checks at all. This might have just been for this time, though.
The ladder to the submarine is steep, so children who aren’t good at climbing up and down in parks or playgrounds might feel a bit uneasy.
Once you dive, it really feels like an aquarium, and it’s hard to experience the sensation of being on a submarine. That was a blind spot for me. My son got bored quickly since we often go to the local aquarium, which was disappointing. The adults enjoyed it, though. We were lucky to see a sea turtle! But I did get seasick.
All seats were by the window with Japanese commentary. I think choosing the premium option at this time was the right decision.
92cmよりやや大きめくらいの身長の息子と参加しました。身長制限のこと、何か注意されたらどうしよう!と気が気じゃなかったのですが、全くチェックせずに乗船できました。今回だけかもしれませんが。
潜水艦へのハシゴは急なので、公園や遊び場などで上り下りしっかりできない子供はちょっと不安かもしれません。
潜ってしまうともう、まさに水族館といった感じで、潜水艦に乗っている!という臨場感は味わいにくいですね。盲点でした。
よく近所の水族館に行っているので、息子はすぐ飽きてしまって、残念でした。
大人は楽しめました。
ウミガメが見れました。ラッキー!
でも、船酔いしました。
日本語解説付きの全席窓際でした。この時間のプレミアムを選んだのは正解だったと思います。

It was my first time snorkeling, and I was satisfied! I thought the photos would have been prettier if the weather had been better, but I was glad to see a sea turtle! There weren't any 17cm fins or floaties for children, but it was fine to wrap a stick as a substitute for a float or swim side by side.
初シュノーケルでしたが満足です☆天気がもっと良ければ写真も綺麗だったかなぁと思いましたが、海ガメも見られて良かったです!
子ども用の17cmの足ひれと浮き輪はありませんでしたが、浮き輪がわりの棒を巻きつける、または横並びで泳げば問題なしでした。

Thank you, Tama-chan, for joining the tour with Blue Hawaii Divers. Although the pickup was early in the morning, I'm glad to hear you enjoyed your time with the seals, green sea turtles, and the cats. Recently, the seals Kecoa and Koro have been visiting the beach often, much to everyone's delight. The school of striped parrotfish was beautiful as well! We look forward to having you both join us for another tour. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
タマちゃん様、この度はブルーハワイダイバースのツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。朝早いピックアップでしたが、アザラシ、アオウミガメ、猫達と楽しんでいただけたようで良かったです。本当に最近はアザラシのケコアとコロへがよくビーチに来てくれるので、皆様に喜んでいただいております。シマハギの群れも綺麗でしたね!是非またお二人でツアーにリピートしていただけるのをお待ちしております。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
