We participated as a couple. The scenery was completely different from Honolulu, and even as beginners, we were kindly taught how to snorkel, which was a lot of fun. Above all, our guide Akima's talk was entertaining (laughs). He covered a wide range of topics, from the culture and legends of West Oahu to the flora and fauna of Hawaii, as well as life and money in Hawaii, so we were never bored during the drive. Also, the schedule was great. They dropped us off at the hotel before 3:00 PM, allowing us to enjoy some more activities afterward. I would love to request this again when I visit Hawaii!
夫婦で参加しました。ホノルルとは全く違う景色が見られ、シュノーケリングも初心者の我々でも親切に教えてもらい、とても楽しめました。そして何よりガイドのアキマさんのトークが面白かった(笑)。西オアフの文化、伝説、ハワイの動植物のことや、ハワイでの生活やお金のことまで、とにかく話題が幅広く、車中飽きることがありませんでした。あと、スケジュールも良かったです。15:00前にはホテルに送っていただけるので、そこからまたひと遊びできました。またハワイに行った際にはお願いしたいです!

As expected from a master! We were able to find and meet the turtles. I participated with my spouse and our 10-year-old daughter. The tour was excellent, but the weather was not great, and it was cold, which was a bit of a problem. We couldn't rent wetsuits in advance, and the weather can only be known on the day itself... I hope some measures can be considered for this (at least for the children).

Under the guidance of the expert, we had a very valuable and enjoyable experience. Perhaps it was because we participated as a couple in the afternoon, but we were able to have a one-on-one experience without any reservations. Although the sky was somewhat cloudy, thanks to our guide, we were able to see sea turtles and many beautiful fish. It was a continuous series of "Ow, wonderful!"
Thank you for the wonderful memories in Hawaii.

Thank you for joining the tour with Blue Hawaii Divers. The morning tour had a significant low tide of -0.3ft, so it was a mix of swimming and walking.

It was me and my friend’s first time snorkeling and Dan was extremely patient. At first, I was uncomfortable with breathing under water, but Dan made sure that I relaxed myself and held on to me during the practices to ensure that I was comfortable. He took great photos for us and took us further down to see a lot of fishes and we even saw a turtle towards the end of the tour! I would highly recommend Blue Hawaii Divers to anyone who wishes to book a tour for snorkeling. It is not necessarily just for beginners, we swam in groups and there were people who have snorkeled before. On the way back to the hotel, Dan gives great suggestions on where to go, and he also gives great recommendations for food spots.
Hi Sherry,
Glad you guys had a good time. Hope we see you again.

I stayed at a small hotel, and they came to pick us up properly. The guide was surprised, saying, "It's rare to see Japanese people staying here!" as it seems that Japanese often stay at famous hotels.
We headed to Hanauma Bay in a larger vehicle that could accommodate about eight people. We participated in the afternoon session, and although the parking lot seemed full, thanks to the guide's connections, we were able to enter.
At Hanauma Bay, watching a video before snorkeling is mandatory, and we were guided by our guide to watch the video. After that, we took a shuttle down to the beach.
At the beach, they managed our belongings and valuables by providing security boxes. They also lent us mats and allowed time for changing.
We put on life jackets and got ready for snorkeling.
It seemed to be high tide, and there were waves that made it difficult to move at times, but the guide was always with us, so we could snorkel without getting lost in the sea. We were able to see fish. The guide took us to a spot where we might see turtles, but we ended up feeling seasick from the waves and had to return early. The guide was considerate of our condition, and those who felt okay were taken to other spots with another guide, so I would like to try again!
They also took photos, which made me very satisfied, but it was unfortunate that I got seasick.
However, since they were attentive to our well-being and adjusted to the participants' pace, I highly recommend this tour! I strongly suggest that those who are not confident in their physical condition bring motion sickness medication.
小さなホテルに宿泊していましたが、きちんと迎えに来てくださいました。「日本の方が泊まっているなんて珍しいと思います!」と、日本人は有名ホテルに泊まっていることが多いそうで、驚かれました。
ハナウマ湾までは8人ほど乗れる大きめの車で向かいます。
私たちは午後の部に参加したのですが、駐車場が満車のようでしたが、ガイドさんの顔パスにより私たちは入場することができました。
ハナウマ湾ではシュノーケリング前にビデオ鑑賞が必須となっており、私たちもガイドさんに案内されビデオを鑑賞しました。
そのあとはシャトルで浜のほうに降ります。
浜では荷物や貴重品をセキュリティーボックスに入れてくださるなど、きちんと管理してくれます。
ゴザもかしてくれたり、着替えの時間も設けてくださいました。
救命用具もつけていざシュノーケリング。
満潮時のようで、波がありうまく進むことができないときもありましたが、常にガイドさんがついてくださり、海のなかで迷うことなくシュノーケルすることができました。
魚もみることができました。
亀がいそうなスポットのほうまで案内してくれましたが、私たちは波で酔ってしまい、途中で帰ることになりました。
体調を気遣ってくださり、大丈夫な方たちはもう一人のガイドさんとほかのスポットまで連れていってもらっていたので、またリベンジしたいと思います!
写真も撮ってくれて大満足でしたが、酔ってしまったので残念でした。
ただ、体調を気遣ってくれたり、参加者のペースに合わせてくれるので、とてもおすすめのツアーです!
体調に自信のない方は酔い止めなどを持参することを強くおすすめします。
Thank you for joining the tour with Blue Hawaii Divers. Dan and I are certified instructors for Hanauma Bay, so even if the parking lot is full and you can't get in, we can still accommodate you. Additionally, no matter how long the line is for purchasing entry tickets, our tour guests do not have to wait in line. That’s what sets us apart from other tours. I'm sorry to hear that you experienced seasickness this time. I hope next time you can take some motion sickness medication before leaving the hotel, so you can enjoy Hanauma Bay even more. We look forward to seeing you again. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

We participated in snorkeling for the first time with a child who is not a strong swimmer. Thanks to Fumio's thorough explanations at the beginning, we were able to enjoy swimming. Even in shallow areas, we saw tropical fish! The water clarity was impressive, and even though we didn't see any sea turtles, it was more than enough. Fumio diligently searched for sea turtles until the very last moment... There were so many tropical fish, it felt like an aquarium. Fumio knows the best spots for sea turtles through interactions with locals, so it's definitely better than going on your own. I absolutely want to participate in this optional tour again next time. Lastly, I am very satisfied with the many photos you sent! I appreciate the pleasant cleanup as well.
初めてのシュノーケリングで泳ぎが苦手な子どもを連れての参加でした。

The water temperature was lower than I imagined, and the waves were quite strong, which took a toll on my stamina. I think it would be tough without a veteran guide leading the way. My child (elementary school student) started shivering from the cold, so we both decided to retire early, but my husband was able to see the turtles. Our child loves the ocean and pools and usually doesn't want to get out, so it must have been really tough for them. It was indeed cold and challenging even for adults. The swimming speed was fast, making it hard to keep up. Other children participated as well, but all of them ended up retiring. I think it's better to schedule activities for children or elderly participants during warmer water temperature periods. However, we were able to see many large fish in the ocean, and the transportation and entry process was smooth with no waiting. Those not on the tour had to stand in a long line to buy tickets. I would like to try again during a time when the water temperature is higher.
想像した以上に水温が低く波が強めで、体力を使いました。やはり、ベテランガイドさんに先導してもらわないと厳しいと思います。
子供(小学生)が寒がり震えだしたので、私と2人で途中リタイアでしたが、主人はカメを見ることが出来ました。うちの子は海、プール大好きで、なかなか上がってこないような子なので、よっぽど辛かったようです。確かに大人でも寒くて大変でした。
泳ぐスピードも早くてついていくのも大変です。
子どもはうちの子以外にも参加していましたが、全員リタイアでした。
お子様や年配の方が参加する場合は水温が高い時期にした方が良いかと思います。
しかし、海の中では大きな魚も沢山見られましたし、
送迎から入場までスムーズで待つことも無かったです。ツアー以外の方はチケットを買うのにかなり長い行列に並んでいました。
水温が高い時期に再チャレンジしたいです。

Waikiki was in the rainy season, and on that day, it was pouring rain on and off. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great, but my parents (in their 60s) and my 10-year-old child really enjoyed snorkeling at Hanauma Bay. The water temperature was low and a bit chilly, so we rented suits for $10 on the day. The guide, who also provided transportation, was very kind, and the three of us, being first-time snorkelers, were very pleased with the attentive service. I definitely recommend going with a guide!
I stayed at Hilton Hawaiian Village and mistakenly misunderstood the meeting place until the day of the event, and I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. I was unsure of what to do, so I was grateful to receive a call on the day. I would like to try again when I travel next time, hopefully in clear weather!
ワイキキは雨季か伸びており、当日も土砂降りの雨が降ったり止んだり・・生憎のお天気でしたが、両親(60代)と10歳の子供はハナウマ湾でのシュノーケルをとても楽しめたようです(^^) 水温が低く肌寒かったので、当日10ドルでスーツをお借りして潜りました。送迎兼インストラクターの方がとても親切だったようで、シュノーケル初の3人は丁寧な対応にとても喜んでいました。皆さんにも是非ガイド付きをおススメします‼︎ 当方、ヒルトンHVに宿泊し当日まで集合場所を勘違いしており、大変ご迷惑をお掛けし申し訳ありませんでした。どうしていいかわからなかったので、当日連絡を頂けて助かりました。また渡航の際、快晴の時に再チャレンジしたいと思います‼︎

This was my first time signing up for a snorkeling tour as a beginner. True to its name, we were able to see sea turtles that we would never have encountered on our own and swim alongside them, which got both me and my child really excited. I’m not a strong swimmer and felt scared because of the depth, but Fumio held my hand and guided me, so I was able to enjoy it without any fear.
今回初めてシュノーケリング達人という事でツアー申し込みしました。

I participated in the morning of April 6th. The weather in Honolulu was a bit iffy, but it was nice to see clear skies once we arrived. There were only four of us, including my husband and me, so we could swim at a leisurely pace.
The visibility was a bit questionable when the weather turned cloudy, but the colorful fish swimming around made the underwater scenery beautiful! Our guide helped us find a honu, and I was able to swim with one!
It was my first time snorkeling, but our guide, Fumio, was always attentive, which made me feel safe while swimming. I had so much fun that I wished I could swim longer!
There was also a large sea lion napping on the beach! The guide mentioned that you can only see them a few times a year, so we were very lucky. I'm really glad we chose this tour with an expert guide instead of just going on our own or a transfer-only tour!
4/6午前中に参加しました。ホノルルの天気が微妙だったけど現地についたら晴れて良かったです^ ^
参加者は私達夫婦の他にもう一組ご夫婦の4人だけだったのでゆったり泳げました。
透明度はお天気が途中から曇ったりして微妙でしたが色とりどりの魚が泳いでいたりして海の中はとても綺麗!ガイドさんがホヌを探してくれて一頭のホヌと泳ぐ事が出来ました!!

This was an absolutely recommended tour that you should definitely join.
I participated with my husband, who was visiting Hawaii for the first time, while I was on my second trip. I was looking for places that are not the usual tourist spots in Hawaii, and I discovered this tour!
After reading the reviews, I thought, "This is it!" and signed up immediately, which turned out to be a great decision; it was truly a wonderful tour.
The female guide and instructor was friendly, cheerful, and knowledgeable, explaining Hawaii's legends in an easy-to-understand and thorough manner, allowing us to feel as if we were seeing the same scenery as the people from long ago. It was truly breathtaking!
At the beach where we went snorkeling, we were the only Japanese people there, and there were only a few tourists, so it felt very private. We enjoyed a lunch picnic on the beach with lunch bought from a local supermarket, soaking in the relaxed local vibe.
The care provided by the guide during snorkeling was excellent, making it easy to enjoy even for beginners.
Swimming while searching for fish among the rocks was a lot of fun.
We were able to see many cute fish.
The driving was very skillful, and it was a pleasant ride, comfortably moving while enjoying the ever-changing scenery from Waikiki.
I want to join this tour again.
Thank you very much.

Since my older child is 12 and my younger one is 6, they took breaks along the way. When my younger child's glasses slipped and caused a panic, they quickly helped out. My wife, who can't swim because she's afraid of water, was kindly taught how to manage. We encountered the honu again.
We ended up retiring partway through because my younger child got tired, but he seemed satisfied. I would love to do this again if the opportunity arises.
For those considering snorkeling, I highly recommend it. However, it seems there are days when the weather and waves can be challenging, so users need to understand that aspect.
天気は曇りで波も少しあり、透明度は良くなかったけどダンさんとチエコさんの抜群の案内でホヌに2回も遭遇しました°ʚ(*´꒳`*)ɞ°.
魚の大群にも遭遇したり、カラフルな魚や珍しい魚をいっぱい見ましたꉂꉂ(ᵔᗜᵔ*)笑
上の子12歳、下の子が6歳だったので途中で休憩しながら進んでくれました。途中下の子のメガネがズレてパニックになってる時もすぐに対応してくれ、しかもウチの嫁さんはカナヅチで泳げないのに優しく教えていただき。ホヌにも遭遇しました|•'-'•)و✧ 途中でしんどくなり、下の子とリタイヤしましたが本人は満足そうですꉂꉂ(ᵔᗜᵔ*)笑
また機会があればお願いしたいです。
これから、シュノーケルを考えてる方がいるなら、オススメします|•'-'•)و✧
ただし天気や波でどうにもならない日もあるみたいなので、そこだけ利用者も理解は必要です。
Thank you for participating with your family of four. Even in March, the water temperature was still quite cold, and there were some waves, but everyone did their best. It was great that the 6-year-old and your wife were able to see a turtle at the beginning of the tour! We were able to meet a second turtle at Sandman's Patch, so it was worth the effort despite the cold. We look forward to welcoming you all back again. The envelope for the wetsuit fee has also arrived safely.
Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
この度はご家族4名様でご参加いただき、ありがとうございます。3月に入ってもまだまだ水温は冷たく、少し波ありではありましたが、みなさん頑張ってくださいました。ツアーの最初にカメが見れたので6歳のお子様や奥様にもカメを見ていただけて良かったです!サンドマンズパッチでは2匹目のカメに会えましたし、寒いのに頑張った甲斐がありましたね。ぜひまた皆様でお越しいただけますことをお待ちしております。ウェットスーツ代の封筒も無事に届いております。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

It was my first trip to Hawaii, and I wanted to enjoy the unique nature of Hawaii, so I participated in this tour. As a result, I was able to enjoy the charm of Oahu, both the sea and land, which I couldn't experience in downtown Waikiki, and it was a lot of fun.
One of the highlights of this tour was our guide, Akima. He was very friendly and kind, making it feel like I was being shown around by a friend living in Hawaii, which was a truly luxurious experience. Additionally, Akima has a wealth of knowledge about Hawaii, and he happily shared interesting information about each spot we visited before snorkeling, as well as general facts about Hawaii, making our travel time very enjoyable and increasing my interest in Hawaii. This is definitely a point that stands out because we had a reliable Japanese-speaking guide.
Although it was our first experience snorkeling, thanks to Akima's patient support, we were able to enjoy snorkeling. (We saw the Humuhumunukunukuapua'a!) Even those who are not confident in their physical strength can enjoy snorkeling by holding onto the float that the guide has. (My wife did the same.)
We also visited various spots besides snorkeling. Among them, my personal highlights were the cave, a leisurely lunch on the beach, and Makua Valley. The sight of the mountains in Makaha Valley was particularly impressive and became an iconic image of Hawaii for me.
I apologize for the lengthy message, but when I visit Hawaii again (even on a different tour), I would definitely like to request this tour again. It was that enjoyable!
初めてのハワイ 旅行でしたが、ハワイ独特の自然を楽しみたかった為このツアーに参加させて頂きました。
結果、ワイキキ市街では味わうことの出来ない、海も陸も含めたオアフ島の魅力を楽しむ事ができてとても楽しかったです。
そしてこのツアーの魅力の一つが、ガイドのAkimaさん。
とても気さくな優しい方だったので、まるでハワイ在住の友達に観光案内をしてもらっているかの樣な、とても贅沢な時間を過ごす事ができました。
また、Akimaさんはハワイに関する知識がとても豊富で、シュノーケリング前に立ち寄る各スポットに関する事、及びハワイ全般に関する事等を楽しく教えて下さるので、移動中もとても楽しい時間となり、よりハワイに興味が湧きました。
これは頼りになる日本語ガイドさんがいて下さるからこそのポイントですね。
また、シュノーケリング初体験の私達でしたが、Akimaさんが根気よく付き添ってくれたお陰で楽しくシュノーケリングが出来ました。(フムフムヌクヌクアプアアが見られました!)
体力に自信のない方でもガイドの方が持っているフロートに掴まりながら泳ぐ事で楽しくシュノーケリング出来るはずですよ。(私の妻もそうしていました)
そしてシュノーケリング以外にも色々なスポットを巡りました。
その中でも個人的なハイライトは洞窟、のんびりとしたビーチでのお昼ご飯、そしてマクア渓谷です。特にマカハ渓谷の山の姿はとても印象的で私にとってのハワイの原風景となりました。
長々と書いてしまいましたが、
再びハワイを訪れる際には(別のツアーの形でも)是非お願いしたいと思います。
それほど楽しかったツアーでした。
Thank you for your review.
I wonder if your impression of West Oahu and Oahu Island has changed quite a bit during your first visit to Hawaii? There are still many untouched places on Oahu Island.
I hope you were able to soak up plenty of Hawaii's energy.
We look forward to seeing you again!
Aloha,
Akima
レビューありがとうございます。
初ハワイで西オアフ、オアフ島の印象がだいぶ変わったのですないのでしょうか? オアフ島でもまだまだこういう人の手の入っていないところがあるんですよ~。
ハワイのパワーたっぷり浴びていただけたかと思います。
またお待ちしておりますね!

Dan was super friendly and informative. We had no trouble getting picked up and into the reserve. He ensured our comfort, safety and overall quelmed the anxieties of a first time snorkeler. He also carried a go pro which meant that my awesome first experience was documented. I’d absolutely recommend it as well as do it again.
Hi Ana, glad you enjoyed. You guys did great, hope we see you again. Dan

I was able to snorkel without any anxiety because they explained the methods and sea conditions in detail in Japanese. I hadn't reserved a diving suit in advance, but they suggested that it could help prevent cold and injuries, so I borrowed one on the day. Even with the suit on, I got quite cold after about an hour of swimming, so I was really glad I could borrow it. I was moved to see not only a variety of fish but also a sea turtle up close. They picked me up from the hotel and dropped me back off, which made for a comfortable experience. They also shared various information about Hawaii during the car ride, which was helpful. Thank you for the valuable experience!
シュノーケリングの方法や海の状態を日本語でひとつひとつ丁寧に説明してもらえたので、不安なく行うことができました。ダイビングスーツを事前に申込んでいませんでしたが、寒さや怪我を防ぐことができると提案していただき、当日急遽お借りしました。スーツを着ても一時間ほど泳ぐとかなり寒くなったので、借りることができて本当によかったと思いました。たくさんの種類の魚だけでなく、ウミガメを間近で見ることができ、感動しました。ホテルでピックアップしてもらい、帰りもホテルまで送っていただけるので、快適でした。車中でもハワイのことを色々と教えてもらい、参考になりました。貴重な体験をありがとうございました!
Thank you for joining the tour with two women. I am very happy to hear that you were able to enjoy snorkeling without any worries. Even in March, the water temperature is still around 21 to 22 degrees Celsius, so I believe you were comfortable wearing the wetsuits. I'm glad you got to meet the cute turtles at Hanauma. Please do consider repeating the tour when you come back to Hawaii. We are always here to welcome you.
Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
この度は女性二人様でツアーにお越し頂き、ありがとうございます。不安なくシュノーケリングを楽しんでいただけたとの事、とても嬉しく思います。3月になってもまだまだ冬の水温で21度から22度くらいですので、ウェットスーツを借りていただけて快適だったかと思います。ハナウマの可愛いカメにも会えて良かったですね。ぜひハワイにまた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。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

The weather wasn't very good on the day we experienced it, and the water temperature was low. We hadn't applied for a wetsuit in advance, but the guide recommended that we rent one on the spot for an additional $10. I'm really glad we borrowed the wetsuits! It was cold, and since we swam in shallow water, if we hadn't had them, I think I would have been shivering from the cold and scraping my knees.
Although the weather was bad and the water clarity was low, we were lucky enough to encounter turtles twice.
The guide spoke fluent Japanese, and I was able to casually ask various questions.
It was a very good experience!
体験した日はあまり天気も良くなく、水温も低かったです。
私たちは、事前にウエットスーツの申し込みをしていなかったのですが、ガイドさんに勧められてプラス10ドルでその場で借りることが出来ました。
ウエットスーツを借りてよかったと思います!!
寒かったし、水面が低いところを泳いだので、もし来てなかったら、寒さに震えながら、膝を擦りむいていたと思います。
天気が悪く水の透明度は低かったですが、ラッキーなことに、2回もカメに遭遇出来ました。
ガイドさんも日本語がペラペラで、気軽に色々きけました。
とても良い経験になりました!!
Thank you, Chikuwa, for coming with your four friends for your high school graduation trip. It was the day with the biggest waves of the winter, and the conditions were quite challenging, but you all did very well. I’m really glad you were able to encounter turtles twice. Please come back to Hawaii again with your four friends when you have the chance. I hope you have a meaningful university life starting in April! Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
ちくわ様、この度は高校の卒業旅行でお友達4名様でお越し頂き、ありがとうございます。この日はこの冬一番の大波の日で、とても大変な状況でしたのに皆さんはとてもお上手でしたよ。2回もカメさんに遭遇できて本当に良かったです。是非また機会がありましたら、また4名様でハワイに遊びに来てくださいね。4月から始まる大学生活を有意義にお過ごし下さい!!本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

For the first time in three years, it's sunny!
The clarity of the sea in Kailua and Lanikai is different from Waikiki!
The time spent at the Pillbox was a blissful moment, especially after the effort it took to get there!
3年目にして初めての晴れ!

I participated in snorkeling on March 2nd. I thought the time might be short during the reservation stage, but I was able to enjoy it fully. I rented a wetsuit just in case, and I'm glad I did because the water was cold. I was also able to see a sea turtle. Thank you, fmio!
3月2日にシュノーケリングに参加しました。
予約の段階では時間が短いかなと思ってたけど充分に楽しむことができました。
念のためにウエットスーツをレンタルしたのですが水が冷たかったのでレンタルして良かったです。ウミガメにも会うことができました。

Punctual pick up from hotel. Dan, our guide friendly and informative. Small group of 6 and 2 guides was ideal. Very well organised with no waiting around and extra options like wetsuits available if required. Bonus was photos of our experience shared at no extra cost! A great morning!

Thank you for the review.
I'm glad you enjoyed it, even though I tend to let slip some strange things, haha.
Thank you for noticing the timing; I set it a bit earlier because I wanted to have some time to do something after returning from the tour.
I’ve been researching Hawaiian legends and history, so I think I’ll have more information to share next time. Of course, there’s still the hidden side of Hawaii that I haven't talked about yet, haha. I look forward to seeing you again when you come back to Oahu!
Aloha,

レビューありがとうございます。
口が滑りやすいので、変なことまでばらしてしまうのですが、楽しんでいただけて良かったですw
時間も、お気づきいただいてありがとうございます、というのはちょっと待ち合わせ時間が早いんですが、ツアーから戻ってもまだちょっと何かできるくらいに戻ってきたいなと思って、この時間にしております。
機会があるとハワイの伝説や歴史など、調べてますので、また次回の時にはまた別の情報もあると思います。まだ話していない裏ハワイももちろんw またオアフ島に来られた際にはよろしくお願いいたします!
