I used the shuttle service to Hanauma Bay. The driver was English-speaking and provided a thorough guide, which made me feel at ease. They also lent me a snorkeling set, so I could go hands-free. It was totally fine even if you're not good at English!

The beach had fine white sand and clear waters. There, sea turtles came up for air multiple times! For lunch, I chose pizza and a cheeseburger, both served hot and delicious. The staff was very friendly, which made me feel comfortable participating in the tour.
サラサラの白い砂と透き通ったビーチ。
そこでは何度も海ガメが息継ぎをしに出てきてくれました!
ランチはピザとチーズバーガーを選びましたが、ピザもバーガーも熱々で提供され、美味しかったです。
スタッフはとても親切で安心してツアーに参加できました。
If you're going to the town, it might be better to choose either Lanikai or Kailua Beach... I was greedy and went to both, so I didn't have enough time to relax in the town. 😭
街に行かれるならラニカイかカイルアのどちらかのビーチにした方が良いかも…欲張って両方行ったので街でゆっくりする時間が足りなくなっちゃいました😭

I felt at ease with the Japanese tour. It was enjoyable to learn about Hawaii on the way to the bay.
I was disappointed that I couldn't see a turtle, but I saw many fish.
My 9-year-old child was also satisfied with the snorkeling.

I decided to rent a wetsuit on-site. I only brought a JCB card, but it couldn't be used. I think it's a good idea to bring some cash in addition to the entrance fee and tips.

On July 29, there was a tsunami warning, and on July 30, the warning was lifted. However, on the morning of July 30, I received an email about the cancellation of the Hanauma Bay snorkeling shuttle. I imagine the tour company needed to gather information, but the details were unclear.
Since I had registered my mobile number at the time of booking, I received the cancellation email one hour prior, but it came on the morning of the day itself. We discussed as a family that it was understandable given it was the day after the tsunami warning.
After that, I took a chance and exchanged messages with the contact person via SMS, and I found out that there were three spots available for snorkeling at Hanauma Bay the next day, July 31. Becca from Kaimana Tours assisted us. Since all the other tour guests were conversing in English, I felt hesitant to express my gratitude in my limited English. I couldn't confirm if the person who provided the shuttle service that day was Becca. I appreciate Becca's assistance and would be grateful if you could convey my thanks.
7月29日に津波警報があり、7月30日は警報解除になりましたが、7月30日午前のハナウマ湾のシューノーケル送迎の中止のメールが当日朝きました。ツアー会社は情報収集する必要があったと想像していますが、詳細は不明でした。
予約時にスマホ番号登録しているので1時間前ですが当日朝に中止メールが来ました。津波警報の翌日でしたので仕方がないねと家族で話していました。
その後にダメ元で担当者様の連絡先にショートメールでやりとりを行ったところ、翌日の7月31日に空き枠が3名分あるとのことで翌日にハナウマ湾シュノーケリングができました。
Kaimana ToursのBecca様に担当していただきました。他のツアー客が全員、英語で会話していたので、拙い英語に気が引けてお礼を伝えることが出来ませんでした。当日の送迎していただいた方がBecca様かも確認できませんでした。Becca様のご対応に感謝しています。有り難うございましたと伝えていただけたら幸いです。

**Review**
The round-trip transportation to Hanauma Bay and the rental of snorkeling gear made it easy to enjoy snorkeling with minimal luggage! Even in shallow areas where you can stand, there were fish as big as those in Thailand swimming around, allowing beginners to see many fish, which was a lot of fun. The time spent at Hanauma Bay was also sufficient.
The driver spoke English, but he spoke slowly and used simple language, making it easy to understand. He was friendly during the ride, and I felt the warmth and kindness of the people of Hawaii! It was truly a wonderful experience that will remain a lifelong memory.
I also appreciated that I could enter Hanauma Bay without worrying about the reservation scramble that individuals have to deal with.
**Points for Improvement**
The bus was scheduled to gather at 5:40, but it actually arrived at exactly 6:00. Since there were elderly passengers on the same bus, I understand that delays can happen.
However, there were two emergency contact numbers provided in case of delays, but neither of them was reachable. Both just had an automated message saying, "The office opens at 8 AM, so please call back after that." I waited for 20 minutes and was really starting to feel anxious about whether to leave. I would like to see the emergency contacts made more reliable.
The driver was a good person, and because of his kindness and the beauty of Hanauma Bay, I am very satisfied overall, but I deducted one star due to the phone issues.
【感想】
ハナウマ湾への往復の送迎と、シュノーケリングのための道具を貸し出してくれるので、少ない荷物で快適にシュノーケリングが楽しめました!
海の中で足がつくような浅い場所でも、タイくらいの大きさの魚が泳いでおり、初心者でも何匹も魚を見ることが出来て、とても楽しかったです。
ハナウマベイに滞在できる時間も十分でした。
ドライバーさんも英語で話しますが、ゆっくり目に話してくれたり、簡単な英語で伝えてくれるので理解しやすかったです。
往復の車内でもフレンドリーに話してくださり、ハワイの人の温かさや親切さを感じました!
一生の思い出に残る、本当に良い経験が出来ました。
個人でハナウマ湾に入る時に申し込まなければいけない、ハナウマ湾入場の予約争奪戦を気にせずに確実に入場出来るという点も、安心でした。
【改善して頂きたい点】
バスの集合時刻は5:40集合となっていましたが、実際にバスが到着したのは6:00ちょうどでした。
同じバスのお客さんに高齢の方もいらっしゃったので、到着時間が遅れた事自体は仕方ないと思っています。
ただし、バスの到着が遅れた際に連絡する緊急連絡先のような電話番号が2個案内されていましたが、どちらも繋がりませんでした。
どちらも自動音声で、「事務所のオープンは8時だから、それ以降に電話して下さい」と言う英語の音声が流れるだけでした。
20分待って、本当にもう帰ろうかと思うくらい不安でした。緊急連絡先はしっかり繋がるようにして頂きたいです。
ドライバーさんは良い人でしたので、ドライバーさんの人の良さとハナウマベイの素晴らしさで、総合評価としてはとても満足ですが、電話が繋がらなかったことで星を-1させて頂きました。
I thought the entrance to Hanauma Bay was first thing in the morning, but the time was determined by the group on the bus I took, and we were informed of the entrance start time on-site that day. Mine
ハナウマ湾の入場は朝一番なのかな、と思っていましたが、乗ってきたバスのグループ別に時間が決まっており、当日現地で入場開始時間を伝えられる形でした。私は7:20でした。

I personally used this during my long stay in Honolulu for school. With a departure around 6 AM, I was back at the hotel by just after 10 AM, which allowed me to make good use of my morning. There were only a few people, which added to the private feel, and that was great!
In the morning, we snorkeled in shallow areas due to low tide, but the water was very clear, and I was able to see various fish! According to the guide, it seems that in the afternoon, when the tide is high, we can go further out, but the visibility might decrease a bit. The morning is early, but it seems to be less crowded compared to the afternoon. Both morning and afternoon have their pros and cons.
The guide was also kind and provided helpful advice on how to use the wetsuits and life jackets, as well as how to put on the masks. There are showers and restrooms available on-site.
スクールでホノルル長期滞在時の間に個人的に利用しました。午前6時過ぎ出発で10時過ぎにはホテルに戻られるので朝活の時間の有効活用ができます。人数も数名程度でプライベート感もあり良かったです!
午前の朝は引潮で浅い場所でのシュノーケルとなりますが、海の透明は高く色々なお魚を見ることができました!ガイドさんいわく、午後は満潮になるので沖には出れるみたいですが、透明度は若干下がるみたいです。午前は朝早いですが、午後に比べて空いてるみたいです。午前も午後も一長一短あるみたいです。

I was anxious about the ticket scramble, so I used this service. I received reminder emails multiple times until the day of the event, and they picked me up at the hotel at 5:30 AM. The ride was shared and everything was in English, with no other Japanese passengers. However, they provided a printed sheet in Japanese that included the prohibited items and the pickup time, so there were no issues. It gets quite cold in Hanauma Bay until the sun rises. I think especially Japanese people might find it chilly. Considering the water and air temperature, I believe it's better to go around noon. There was plenty of time, and it was more relaxed compared to the plan with a Japanese instructor. I participated in both, but I think it depends on your purpose. I was able to relax so much that I took a nap for about 30 minutes. We returned to the hotel around 1 PM. If I plan to go to Hanauma Bay again, I will definitely use this service. It was fun.
チケット争奪戦に不安があったので、こちらを利用しました。当日まで何度もリマインドメールがあり、当日早朝5:30ホテルまで迎えに来てくれました。乗合いで全て英語、同乗者も日本人は居ませんでした。ですが日本語のプリントも渡してくれて、禁止事項や迎えの時間場合が書かれていて問題無しでした。ハナウマ湾は太陽が昇るまで結構寒いです。特に日本人は寒いと思います。水温や気温を考えたら昼頃からが良いと思います。時間にはゆとりもあり、日本人インストラクター付きプランよりゆっくり出来ます。どちらも参加しましたが、目的別だと思います。あまりにゆっくり出来て30分程昼寝してました。帰りは13時頃ホテルです。次回ハナウマ湾予定があれば、またお願いします。楽しかった。
Wind and cold weather measures are necessary. I don't think it's a problem if you can't speak English. You need to actively ask the driver for rental items other than your reservation when you get off
風と低温対策は必要。英語は話せなくても問題無いと思います。予約意外のレンタル品は降車時にドライバーに積極的に声を掛けないと借りれませんので、ライフジャケットなどお気をつけ下さい。

I had the opportunity to go snorkeling in Okinawa, and this was my second time. I felt secure participating with a Japanese instructor. Although we didn't see any sea turtles, they helped us search for spots where we might find them while considering our stamina.
They took care of everyone's valuables and provided changing areas, showers, and restrooms, but since it was a tour, everything was done efficiently. They also offered wetsuit rentals for a fee, explaining that it would help prevent injuries from coral and keep us warm. They advised us to keep swimming without lifting our heads when we found coral (lifting our heads would cause our feet to drop and hit the coral), so wearing just a swimsuit was fine.
The afternoon session was hot, so I didn't feel cold, but my thighs got sunburned while diving. They laid down mats on the sandy beach to keep things clean, and I appreciated the bottled water and snacks provided.
I wasn't used to the tipping culture and missed the chance to give a tip, so I thought it would have been easier if they had included the tip in the total amount when I paid the $25 entrance fee for Hanauma Bay. The service was excellent, so I recommend it even for those who are anxious about their English skills.
シュノーケリングは沖縄でやったことがあり2回目でしたが、日本語インストラクターで安心して参加できました。
ウミガメは見られませんでしたが、私達の体力を気にしつつ何度かウミガメがいそうな場所を一緒に探して下さいました。
貴重品は皆のをまとめて保管して頂けて、着替える場所やシャワー、トイレはありますが、ツアーなのでテキパキにという感じです。有料でスウェットスーツの貸出もあり、珊瑚で怪我しないようにするのと、寒さ対策できるとの説明はありましたが、珊瑚を見つけたら泳ぎ続けて顔を上げないように(顔を上げると足が下がってぶつかるため)アドバイス頂き水着でも大丈夫でした。また午後の回は暑かったので寒さは感じませんでしたが、潜っていても腿の裏が真っ赤に日焼けしてました。
砂浜で汚れないようにシートを敷いて下さったり、ペットボトルの水やスナック菓子も頂けて有難かったです。
チップ文化に慣れておらず渡しそびれてしまったので、ハナウマ湾の入場料25$をお渡しする際にチップも含んだ金額で仰って頂けたら、チップお渡ししやすかったかなと思いました。サービスは大満足なので英語が不安な方にもオススメです。
I recommend wearing a wetsuit and taking sun protection measures for snorkeling, as I got sunburned more than I expected.

I was an English driver, and it was helpful that they tried to communicate using tools like Google Translate. Since we had five hours, we could snorkel for quite a long time. My husband didn't apply sunscreen because he thought it would wash off anyway, and he ended up with a terrible sunburn the next day, so I recommend taking proper precautions. (There is an announcement to use reef-safe sunscreen.)

The staff was excellent.
To be honest, Hanauma Bay doesn't have the clarity for snorkeling, and the fish are sparse.
It might have just been a bad time of year.
スタッフは最高でした。
ハナウマ湾は、正直に言えば、シュノーケリングするほどの透明度はなく、魚もまばらです。
たまたま時期が悪かったのかもしれません。
If you've experienced snorkeling in places like Okinawa, Guam, or Saipan, you might honestly be disappointed. On the other hand, for beginners, it's recommended because the staff provides solid suppor
沖縄とか、グアム、サイパン等でシュノーケリングを経験した方は、正直がっかりするかもしれません。一方でシュノーケリング初心者の方は、スタッフが日本語でしっかりサポートしてくれるので、おすすめです
Thank you for participating in the tour. The tide was high that afternoon, so the visibility may have decreased. I apologize for that, as it is a natural phenomenon. The visibility at Hanauma Bay improves during low tide, allowing you to see more fish. When you visit Hawaii again, I recommend choosing a time during low tide to enjoy Hanauma Bay even more. I look forward to seeing you again someday. Mahalo!!
この度はツアーにご参加いただき、ありがとうございました。この日の午後は満ち潮でしたので、透明度は落ちたかもしれませんね。こればかりは自然現象なのでごめんなさい。ハナウマ湾は引き潮の時が透明度が上がりますので、お魚もよりたくさん見えますよ。またハワイにお越しの際には是非引き潮タイムの時を選んでハナウマ湾にお越しいただければ、きっともっと楽しんでいただけるかと思います。いつかまたお会いできるのをお待ちしております。Mahalo!!

It was a bit cold due to the wind and occasional rain. However, I encountered many fish while snorkeling and was able to kayak skillfully, creating great memories with my wife. The staff was very attentive and provided friendly advice, making it a wonderful day. Thank you! 😊
風があり、時々雨も降ったので少し寒かったです。でもシュノーケルで多くの魚にも出会えたし、カヤックにも上手に乗れたので、妻との良い思い出になりました。そしてスタッフの気配りも十分で、とてもフレンドリーなアドバイスにて、良い一日となりました。ありがとうございました😊
Depending on the weather, it's a good idea to bring a bath towel and a change of spare clothes.
天候にもよりますが、バスタオルと着替えの予備的な服を持ち込んだ方が良いです。

Stunning location, not too many people, but of a process to get into the park but once there it was lovely. We didn’t get to see turtles but there was a lot of other fish to see.

Hanauma Bay is still a beautiful place to visit! The reef is home to such a beautiful variety of colorful fish, sea urchins, & coral. A must see for anyone visiting Oahu!

I was worried because the weather was bad, but the sea was very beautiful and I was able to see a lot of fish! When we said we wanted to see sea turtles, they took us to the sea turtle spot, and I was so happy to see them up close!! There was even a seal unexpectedly!!! The hour flew by, and it was so much fun.
天気が悪くて不安だったのですが、
海の中はとても綺麗でたくさん魚を見ることができました!
私たちがウミガメを見たいと言ったら、ウミガメスポットに連れて行ってくれて、実際に近くで見ることができすごく嬉しかったです!!まさかのアザラシもいました!!!
1時間あっという間でとても楽しかったです。
It's better to take motion sickness medication in advance.
事前に酔い止め薬飲んでおいた方がいいです。
Thank you for joining the tour. How lucky you are to have seen both the sea turtles and seals! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Please do consider repeating the tour when you come back to Hawaii. We are always here to welcome you. Mahalo!!
この度はツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございました。ウミガメとアザラシを両方とも見れたなんて、なんてラッキーなお客様でしょう!!楽しんでいただけてよかったです。是非またハワイにお越しの際にはツアーにリピートしてくださいね。いつでもお待ちしております。Mahalo!!

I woke up at 4:30 AM to join the Hanauma Bay tour. I was picked up at the Ilikai Hotel, and the night broke as we headed towards Hanauma Bay. I lined up as soon as the gates opened at 6:45 AM and got my entry ticket for 7:20 AM. I paid $25 in cash, watched an environmental video, and arrived at the beach around 8:00 AM. I put on the rented wetsuit and entered the sea. I encountered a large school of fish and lost track of time until my pickup at 11:00 AM! It was deeply moving to visit Hanauma Bay for the first time in five years since my visit before the pandemic!
4時半起きでハナウマ湾ツアーに参加。
イリカイホテルでピックアップしてもらい、ハナウマ湾に向かう途中で夜が明ける。
6:45の開門と同時に列に並び、7:20の入場チケットをゲット。1人25ドルを現金で払い、環境ビデオを見て、8:00頃ハナウマ湾のビーチに到着。
レンタルしたウェットスーツを着て海に入る。魚の大群にも遭遇、11時の迎えまで、時間を忘れて楽しみました!
コロナ前の訪問以来、5年ぶりにハナウマ湾を訪れることができて感慨深かったです!
The concession stand at Hanauma Bay does not accept cash. Please bring a credit card. I recommend renting a wetsuit to avoid cutting your body on the coral reef.
ハナウマ湾の売店は現金は使えません。クレジットカードを持参してください。珊瑚礁で身体を切らないよう、ウェットスーツのレンタルをおすすめします。

The two guides were quick and clear in their responses, and I was moved to see various fish and the honu (sea turtle). They considered the tidal conditions and adjusted the location accordingly, which made me feel safe participating. They kindly supported us when my husband and I were running late, and I'm really glad we joined. I felt that I would like to request their services again someday.
ガイドさんお二人の対応もテキパキで分かりやすく様々なお魚そしてホヌも見れ感動しました。
その時の潮の状況に合わせ場所も考え行動して下さり安心して参加出来ました。
私達夫婦が遅れていた時も優しくサポートして下さったり本当参加して良かったです。
またいつかお願いしたいと感じました

I was very lucky to see two sea turtles at such a close distance at the same time. The instructor was also incredibly kind and made me feel safe while showing me many fish.
