Koko Beach Snorkel Gear Rentals at Koko Marina Shopping by Hanauma Bay

Great service and great price.

Reviewed by: lnation

They called to let me know I needed passes to Hanauma Bay (which I didn't realize). This saved our whole day because I didn't realize I had to be there so early to secure 4 tickets to the park which sell out by 8:30 am (latest). This info was a life saver as we showed up to rent our snorkelling gear by 7:30 and were at the park before 8am to secure walk-up tickets. Tip: get your tickets to Hanauma Bay online at 7am 2 days in advance (they sell out in 2 minutes). Then you don't have to wait in line at the park on the day of.
Great place!!

Perfect for beginners

Reviewed by: Jan from Minnesota

We wanted to snorkel without taking a boat ride. This was a great option. Our party of 3 (grandparents with granddaughter) were all beginners to snorkeling. They provided nice equipment so we didn’t need to purchase anything. The instructor, Ryan, was very knowledgeable. He showed us how to wear the items properly. He taught us the simple steps of snorkeling - breathing through the tube and floating. The lagoon was a perfect, protected place. We saw many different fish and sea creatures. Ryan’s patience with beginners was much appreciated. This was money well spent for an experience we will never forget.

Liz was our instructor/guide and she was awesome! She made sure that we were comfortable in water all the time. She helped us see fish and shells. She took great videos for us to take home. Also, she found a sea urchin skeleton for my son to take home as a souvenir! Thank you so much, Liz! We had a great time! :)

Reviewed by: aj3031

We are a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 kids 9yr old and 6yr old). Instructor was very patient enough to guide us how to snorkel. He provided us some tricks to make snorkeling easier for beginners. He was always there to help us out and made us feel comfortable. Except for my spouse everyone else in the group are non-swimmers, the instructor helped us navigate through the water, and to top it he took amazing videos of us while snorkeling :)

Amazing First Time Snorkeling Experience

Reviewed by: Nishant

Ricki was very patient and helpful in making our (my wife & my) first time snorkeling experience so good. My wife didn't know swimming but Ricki's tips helped put her at ease and she enjoyed it as well. Due to the small group nature of the tour, fortunately there was only 2 of us and we had lots of fun. Saw lots of fishes and reef. Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for beginner lessons.

Zola, our instructor, was extremely patient and caring throughout the entire experience. Even through I had to concentrate extremely hard with breathing and using my flippers, I was SO proud of myself and I couldn't have done it without him.

Ask for Zola for the snorkeling tour, you wont' be sorry. You will be in terrific hands!

I was worried about snorkeling with my child, but I felt quite reassured and satisfied with the activity because the guide stayed with us the whole time! At one point, my child started saying they were cold and wanted to get out, but I appreciated how kindly the guide handled it without any negative reactions. The shuttle car was nice, and we had a comfortable drive. They took photos with a GoPro, so we have great quality memories! Data download was also available! Thank you!

It was the best tour at the best place! 最高の場所で最高のツアーでした！

Reviewed by: いもた

This was my second time snorkeling, and I participated in the tour feeling anxious about the deep water, as I could only do the crawl by myself. I decided to join after seeing everyone having fun in the reviews. I dislike cold water and am not a strong swimmer, so I was filled with the desire to back out until the last minute. However, the guide was incredibly thorough in teaching us how to breathe, and with the rental of the bodysuit, I was able to swim happily!

Once I got used to it, we went out to look for turtles, and by then, I was able to swim smoothly! Hanauma Bay is the best place; both snorkeling and the beach are amazing, and the guide is fantastic too! I highly recommend it! I will definitely join again when I go to Hawaii!

シュノーケリング二回目、一人ではクロールしかできず深いところは不安のあるなかでのツアー参加でした。
口コミから、みなさんが楽しく参加されているのを拝見して参加しました。寒い海は嫌いだし、泳ぎは苦手で直前までやめたい気持ちでいっぱいでしたが、ガイドさんが本当に丁寧に息の仕方など教えてくださり、ボディスーツのレンタルもあり、楽しく泳ぐことができました！
慣れてきたら沖に出てカメを探しに行きましたが、その時にはもうスイスイいくことができました！
ハナウマ湾は最高の場所でシュノーケリングもビーチも最高なのはもちろんですが、ガイドさんも最高です！おすすめです！
またハワイ行ったときは参加します！

I went snorkeling for the first time! The female guide was very kind and not only sent me the photos she took of me but also pictures of the sea fish, since I didn't bring a camera. It was completely my first time snorkeling, and I felt like I was holding back the group of four, but I was fortunate to be with such a great group, and it turned out to be a fun time. However, I did feel a bit sorry for the others since the guide focused so much on me. But everyone was really nice, and I had a great time. If I have the chance to come to Hawaii again, I will definitely sign up again! I will treasure the photos! Thank you very much!

初めてシュノーケリングをやりました！
ガイドの女性の方はとても親切で、カメラを持って行かなかった私に、私を撮った写真だけでなく、海の魚たちの写真まで、送って下さいました。
シュノーケリングは完全に初めてで、4人のグループの中でも脚を引っ張ってばかりでしたが、グループの方にも恵まれ、楽しいひとときになりました。
ただ、ガイドさんが私にかかりっきりになってしまったことで、周りの方に少し申し訳ない事をしたなとは感じました。でも本当に良い方ばかりで楽しかったです。
また、ハワイに来る機会があれば、また申し込ませていただきます！
写真宝物にします！

If you're going to Hawaii, I want to follow her pink fins again. Next time, I'll change the timing.

Moreover, she knows so much about the ocean, and her sense of the best spots for that day reflects her extensive experience. Thank you so much!

For an additional $10, you can also rent a bicycle, which is great since it's close to Kailua Beach. You can also extend your visit to Lanikai Beach and go to town. This time I only had beach items, but next time I want to try kayaking or stand-up paddleboarding.

I was able to fulfill my mother's request! 母のリクエストを叶えることができました！

Reviewed by: またら

"I want to swim if I go to Hawaii!" After receiving this request, I was looking for a tour that my mother (66 years old) could join. I was about to give up due to the age restriction (only up to 65 years old) when I found this tour.

This tour alleviated all my concerns (transportation, managing valuables, where to swim to avoid fatigue, snorkeling instructions, etc.). The transportation to the hotel eased my worries about meeting up on the way there, and it was appreciated on the way back since we were tired.

Swimming was made easier with life jackets, allowing us to float even in deep water. By swimming with the current, we could conserve our energy. Even if you don't know how to use the equipment, our guide Dan explained everything in simple Japanese.

Depending on the weather and climate, it might be better to rent a wetsuit. I swam on January 31, 2020. The weather was cloudy, and the seawater was cold (not freezing, but it felt "cold... If the weather was nice, it would feel good"). I wore a rash guard over my swimsuit and shorts. Towards the end of the swim, I felt cold. I bought the rash guard locally for about $50. My mother wore a full rash guard as well, but she still said, "It feels a bit chilly towards the end." It was a good decision to bring a bath towel borrowed from the hotel.

Things I was glad I brought from Japan included candy and powdered Pocari Sweat, which I mixed with water. I wished I had brought hot water on the day.

Seeing the photos and comments in the reviews here helped me know what to prepare in advance, so I wrote this as a way to give back! I hope it helps someone!

「ハワイに行くなら泳ぎたい！」のリクエストを受け、母（66歳）でも参加できるツアーを探していました。年齢制限（65歳まで参加可）に引っかかり、諦めかけていたところに、このツアーを見つけました。
このツアーは、持っていた不安（送迎、貴重品管理、どこから泳ぐと疲れにくい、シュノーケリングのレクチャー等）をすべて解消してくれました。
ホテルまでの送迎は、行きは合流ができるか不安だったのを払拭し、帰りは疲れてるのでありがたかったです。
泳ぐのも、ライフジャケットがあるので、足のつかないところでも浮かんでいられるので、助かりました。
海の流れに逆らわないで泳ぐので体力が続きます。
使い方が分からなくても、ガイドのDanさんが日本語で簡単に説明してくれました。

天候や気候によっては、ウェットスーツを借りた方がいいかも知れないです。
私が泳いだのは、2020年1月31日。
天候は曇りでした。
海水は、冷たかったです。（水風呂まではいかないけど、「冷たい…。…お天気なら、気持ちよさそう」な体感でした。）
服装は、水着の上からラッシュガードを着て、下は短パンを履いていました。
泳いでいる最後の方は、寒く感じました。
ラッシュガードは、現地で$50くらいで買いました。
母は上下ラッシュガード着てました。
それでも、「最後の方は肌寒いなぁ」って言ってました。
ホテルで借りたバスタオルを持って行って正解でした。

日本から持って行って良かったものは、飴、ポカリスエットの粉。水に溶かして持って行きました。
当日持って行ったら良かったと思ったものは、白湯でした。

ここの口コミの写真や文章を見て、事前に準備するものが知れたので、恩返しで書きました！
誰かの役に立つといいなぁ〜
