Time spent swimming with sea turtles. 海亀と泳いだ時間

Reviewed by: せいやんこ

Swimming with two sea turtles was amazing!
There were so many beautiful fish, and the scenery was fantastic.
I think it’s better to take motion sickness medication just in case you might get seasick.
Wearing a wetsuit provides buoyancy and keeps you warm, so I recommend borrowing one.
The tour guides were very kind, making it the best tour ever.
At first, when I was swimming away from my son, they helped bring me back to him, so thank you for that.
Holding hands with my son while swimming with the sea turtles became a lifelong memory. Also, when I got seasick, it was really reassuring to swim back to shore together.
Thank you very much.
It was the best tour. You should definitely try it!

海亀と2ひきもあえて最高だった(^^)(^^)
海亀と2回もあえて、最高でした。
綺麗な魚がいっぱいいてとても良い景色でした
波酔いをするかもしれないので酔い止めを飲んで言ったほうがいいと思います。
ウエットスーツを着てると浮力もあるしあたたかいので借りた方がいいと思います。
ツアーの人もとても優しくて最高のツアーでした。
最初、息子と離れて泳いでいたら、息子のところまで、連れて行ってくれてありがとうございました。
息子と手を繋いで海亀と泳いだことは一生の思い出になりました。また、波酔いをしてしまったら、岸まで一緒に泳いで頂き本当に心強かったです。
ありがとうございました。
最高のツアーです。是非行ってみて下さい。

Dear Seiyanko, thank you for joining our tour with your family. The sea conditions were great that day, and we all had a wonderful time swimming out into the ocean. It was so much fun swimming with the turtles and encountering schools of giant trevally! We would be thrilled if you all could join us again. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

せいやんこ様、この度はご家族で私達のツアーにご参加いただき、ありがとうございます。この日はとても海の状態も良く、みんなで沖の方までいっぱい泳いだ日でしたね。澄んだ青い水の中で亀と一緒に泳いだり、ギンガメアジの群れにも遭遇出来たり、楽しかったですね!!是非またみなさんでリピートしていただければ嬉しいです。

We both cannot swim but dan and Jan made us so comfortable that we forgot our worries and went for it. They gave us a lesson before the activity and it helped us a lot. During the activity, Dan was always there.. literally holding my wife's hand through out so that she doesnot panic. We had a beautiful experience to remember. Highly recommend Dan and Jan.

I chose a small group activity since my mother can't swim. The instructor, Dan, held my mother's hand the whole time to reassure her, and she was overjoyed, saying she never thought the day would come when she could go snorkeling! She mentioned that she wants to go snorkeling again on our next trip. Thank you so much, Dan! 😊

泳げない母と一緒と言うことで、少人数のものを選びました。インストラクターのダンさんが、ずっと母の手を握り安心させてくれたとのことで、まさかシュノーケルができる日が来ると思っていなかった!!と大喜びでした。次回も旅行に行ったらシュノーケリングしたいと言っていました。ダンさん本当にどうもありがとうございました^^

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング ベテラン日本語ガイドがご案内する少人数制ツアー 貸切プランあり<半日/水中写真付き>

My first time in Hawaii was amazing! 初めてのハワイ、最高でした!

Reviewed by: きのこ

My first time in Hawaii, and thanks to the support of our guide, all five of us were able to enjoy snorkeling, especially my friend who was trying it for the first time. We were able to see sea turtles twice, which I believe was thanks to our guide's assistance. The comfort of being able to speak in Japanese and the information about local shops that we received were also great. If I ever go to Hawaii again, I would love to request the guide again.

Hanauma Bay was filled with cats, almost like a cat island, which was perfect for me as a cat lover.

初めてのハワイ、シュノーケリング初体験の友人にずっとサポートしてくださり5人全員で楽しむ事が出来ました。ウミガメに2度も会うことが出来たのも、ガイドさんに案内していただいたからこそだと思います。日本語で話せる安心感、教えていただいた現地のお店の情報も良かったです。ハワイに行くことがあったら、またガイドをお願いしたいです。
ハナウマ湾が、まるで猫の島みたいに猫ちゃんだらけだったのも、猫好きな私には最高でした。

Sea turtle ウミガメ

Reviewed by: みなみ

I experienced this on December 4th. The guide was incredibly nice. It had been raining in Hawaii for a long time, and finally, it cleared up on this day. We were told that it was cold and the chances of seeing a sea turtle were low, so my family and I had given up on that idea, thinking it would be fine just to see various fish. However, miraculously, we were able to encounter one sea turtle! It was truly wonderful. Overall, I was very satisfied because the guide was such a great person!

12月4日に体験しました。
とーっても感じの良いガイドさんでした。
ハワイはずーっと雨が降って居て、この日にやっと晴れてくれました。寒いしウミガメに会える確率は低いよー。と言われ、いろんなお魚に出会えるだけでいっか。なんて家族で断念していましたが、奇跡的に1匹だけ出会うことができました。
ほんとうに、素敵でした。
とにかくガイドさんがとても良い方だったので大満足でした!

I encountered a turtle for the first time in Hawaii! 初ハワイで亀に出会えました!

Reviewed by: chiii

I searched for a snorkeling tour where I could see turtles and chose one. I was half-expecting to encounter turtles, but I actually did! It was truly a wonderful memory.

I can't swim at all, but I've experienced snorkeling with a life jacket about ten times both domestically and internationally. They taught me how to wear the mask very carefully, and the equipment was really clean. The mask didn't fog up at all during the experience, which was comfortable!

When they told me to swim from one end to the other, I honestly wondered what I should do, but I managed to swim all the way across thanks to the supportive instructor and the lovely fish.

For the first time, I panicked when I couldn't breathe and ended up swallowing a lot of seawater when I tried to take a breath. That fear lingered for a while, but I was able to enjoy myself, so I was very satisfied.

Even in the morning, the beach gets crowded, and the number of people snorkeling increases, so by the second half, I felt like there was a lot of sand stirring in the water, which made visibility a bit worse.

I highly recommend this for those who want to try snorkeling for the first time or enjoy it safely overseas, as they are very attentive. I definitely want to use their services again when I go to Hawaii next time.

亀が見れるシュノーケルツアーを探して選びました。亀に出会えるかな?期待半分でしたが亀に出会えました。ホントにいい思い出です。
わたしは全く泳げないですが、ライフジャケットを着用してのシュノーケルは国内外で10回ほど経験あります。
マスクのつけかたなど本当にとても丁寧に教えていただけて、道具もとても綺麗でした。マスクも途中で曇るなんてこともなく快適!
ここを端から端まで泳ぐのよ〜と言われたときは正直どうしようかと思いましたが、見事に泳ぎきりました。
サポート上手な先生とすてきなお魚のおかげです。
今回初めて、息が吸えず、次吸ったときには海水を大量に飲んでしまいパニックになりました。その恐怖感からその後は不安も消えませんでしたが、無事に楽しむことができたのでとても満足です。
午前中利用でも、ビーチにはどんどん人も溢れ、シュノーケルされてる人数も増えるので
後半には、海のなかも砂がたくさん舞っていて少し視界が悪くなるような気がします。
初めてのシュノーケルや、海外でも安心して楽しみたい方にはとっても丁寧なのでおすすめです!
次回ハワイに行くときも必ずお世話になりたいです。

Women in their 50s. 50代前後の女性

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

During the break in our company trip schedule, five women in their 40s and 50s participated. After watching a video about environmental awareness, we were mindful of our impact on fish and coral as we headed to the sea. With guidance from Dan and Chieko, we felt very safe and enjoyed snorkeling. Some of our group hadn't been in the ocean for years, but with the wetsuits we borrowed in advance, we swam close to the rocky areas without feeling anxious, allowing us to relax and enjoy swimming. We even encountered two turtles! We left the sea feeling very satisfied. Thank you for accommodating those who wanted to stop by Diamond Head along the way. While we were anxious about how President Trump's visit would affect our schedule, you provided various advice, and everyone was able to return safely to the hotel. Thank you for everything.

Thank you for joining the tour with Blue Hawaii Divers. It coincided with President Trump's visit to Hawaii and his stop in Waikiki, which led to traffic restrictions and made for a challenging day.

Hanauma Bay Self-Guided Snorkel Tour & Gear Rental with Hotel Transportation

Amazing excursion!

Reviewed by: Husbands from Nevada

This excursion was our first snorkeling excursion in the Pacific Ocean, and it was our first excursion during our trip to O'ahu. The whole experience was outstanding. Veltra called us the day before to confirm the reservation and advise us where to meet the van and when. The driver from Kaimana Tours arrived within the allowed time period, and he was courteous and informative. He told us exactly what to expect when we arrived--including paying the $7.50 park admission fee (per person) completing the conservation education presentation (10-15 minutes, tops), and meeting him afterward (where and when). He passed around a chart of the types of sea life we would see in the bay. The view was breath-taking. The beach was beautiful. The staff were helpful and friendly. The snorkeling was great. Lifeguards were attentive--even using amplified sound at one point to caution some poor swimmers that they needed to move closer to the beach. Afterward, the driver met us when and where he had told us, and we were all on our way back to our hotels.

Katsuo no eboshi (the scientific name is "Physalia physalis") is commonly known as the Portuguese man o' war. カツオノエボシ

Reviewed by: k50

Due to a change in the trade winds a few days ago, my son was stung by a Portuguese man o' war (electric jellyfish) that washed ashore. It was quite a situation, but the beach is truly beautiful and a wonderful place. After receiving first aid, my son relaxed on the grassy area.

I think many Japanese people are not very aware of the dangers of the Portuguese man o' war, so for those with children, it's important to do some image searches beforehand and be cautious not to touch them. It seems that they can wash up not only in Kailua but also in Lanikai and Waikiki. Additionally, jellyfish warnings are issued about 9 to 12 days after a full moon.

貿易風の流れが数日前から変わった影響で流れ着いたカツオノエボシ(電気クラゲ)に息子が刺されて、大変でしたが、ビーチは本当に綺麗で、素敵なところです。
刺された息子は応急処置後、芝生の広場でのんびり休息していました。
日本人はあまりカツオノエボシの怖さを知らないと思うので、お子様連れの方は、事前に画像検索などをして、触ったりしないように注意が必要ですね・・・。
カイルアだけでなく、ラニカイ、ワイキキでも漂着することがあるそう。
また満月の9~12日後はクラゲ注意報が出るそうですよ。

Reply from activity provider

Thank you very much for participating in the tour. We are truly sorry to hear that your son was stung by a jellyfish while you were enjoying the tour.

We have confirmed the situation with the local operating company, and as you mentioned, jellyfish tend to appear around the full moon, and there are customers who may get stung. As a precaution, the operating company has lifeguards on duty with boards to alert customers on days when jellyfish are present. Additionally, for customers who do get stung, they provide first aid, just as they did for your son on that day. We will continue to take care to ensure that customers do not get stung on days when jellyfish are likely to be seen.

Thank you very much for your valuable feedback during this busy time.

この度は、ツアーにご参加いただき誠にありがとうございます。
ツアーをお楽しみいただいていたところ、息子様がクラゲに刺されてしまったとのこと大変残念に思います。

当日の状況を現地催行会社に確認いたしましたところ、お客様がおっしゃる通り、満月の前後になりますとクラゲが出やすく、刺されてしまうお客様もいらっしゃるとのことでした。催行会社では対策として、クラゲが見られる日はライフガードがボードを抱え、お客様に向けて注意喚起をしているとのことです。また、刺されてしまったお客様には、当日の息子様同様、応急処置をさせていただいているとのことでした。今後もクラゲが見られる日につきましてはお客様に刺されないよう注意をしてまいります。

お忙しい中、貴重なご投稿を賜りまして、誠にありがとうございました。

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング ベテラン日本語ガイドがご案内する少人数制ツアー 貸切プランあり<半日/水中写真付き>

It was fun! 楽しかったです!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Although the weather was unfortunate, thanks to Dan and Chieko, I was able to meet the sea turtles I had always wanted to see and had the best time! They also recommended a restaurant, which was very delicious. Thank you so much!

あいにくの天気だったのですが、ダンさんチエコさんのおかげで念願だったウミガメにも会え最高の時間を過ごすことができました!オススメのレストランも教えてくださって、とっても美味しかったです♡ありがとうございました!

I finally got to see a turtle! 念願の亀さん見られました!

Reviewed by: カンイナ

Two years ago, I went to Hanauma Bay on a different guided tour, but my 4-year-old daughter was unhappy, and we didn't get to see any turtles, so this time we made a comeback! The guides took great care of my daughter, and we were able to enjoy snorkeling with peace of mind! We also got to see turtles, which was amazing! I highly recommend it!

二年前にハナウマ湾へ別のガイドツアーで行きましたが、4歳だった娘は嫌がり、亀さんも見られず残念だったので、今回リベンジしました!娘のこともしっかりフォローしてくださり、安心してシュノーケリングを楽しむことができました!亀さんも見られて、最高でした!オススメです!!

Dear Kanina, thank you for participating in the tour with your family. Your 6-year-old daughter did an amazing job and was able to see the turtles. It's wonderful to see your child's growth! The revenge tour was a great success. Please do come back to Hawaii with your family again. We look forward to seeing you again. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

カンイナ様、この度はファミリーでツアーにご参加いただきありがとうございます。6歳の娘さんはとっても頑張ってくれて、ちゃんと亀さんも見ることができました。お子様の成長はすごいですね!リベンジは大成功でした。是非またハワイにお越しの際にはご家族皆様でリピートしてくださいね。またお会いできますことを楽しみに待っています。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

I had a very luxurious time! You can dive individually, but I think it's much more enjoyable and reassuring to join a tour with a guide like Chieko. I got to see colorful fish and even met two turtles. It's great to receive photos later since it's not easy to take pictures while you're in the water.

とても贅沢な時間を過ごせました!
個人でも潜ることが出来ますが、ツアーに参加してチエコさんのガイドがあった方が安心で、何倍も楽しめると思います。色とりどりのお魚たちと、カメにも2匹会えました。海に入っている時の写真は普段なかなか撮れないので、後から写真を頂けるのも嬉しいです。

Thank you for participating in the tour. On this day, there was a last-minute cancellation from another customer who was supposed to join, so it turned into a private snorkeling experience for you. The sea conditions were good, the water was clear, and most importantly, you had the turtles all to yourself, making you a truly lucky customer. That’s wonderful!! Please do join us again for a tour when you come back to Hawaii. Thank you very much. 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す。この日はご一緒するはずだったお客様の当日キャンセルがあり、お一人様貸切スノーケリングでしたね。海の状態も良く水も綺麗でしたし、何より亀さんも独り占めツアーとなり、本当に幸運なお客様でした。良かったですね!!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。本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

On the last day of our honeymoon, we booked a snorkeling trip at Hanauma Bay, which we were most looking forward to. It was absolutely amazing! We were able to spend a truly happy time meeting lots of fish and sea turtles. Chieko-sensei's kind and attentive guidance was also very good. Thank you so much! Next, I want to try diving!

新婚旅行最終日に、最も楽しみにしていたハナウマ湾でのシュノーケリングを申し込みました。結果、とても最高!でした! たくさんのおさかなさんたち、ウミガメに会えて心から幸せな時間を過ごすことができました。ちえこ先生の親切丁寧なガイドも大変良かったです。本当にありがとうございました。次はダイビングがしたーい!

Thank you for joining the tour together. I'm truly glad to hear that you both enjoyed it. It was quite lucky that you had a private tour with no other guests! The visibility was great during the morning due to the low tide, and you were able to see various types of fish, octopus, Bob the moray eel, and even a large barracuda. It was also lucky that you got to swim alongside the turtles for a long time. Please make sure to join us for the experience diving at Blue Hawaii Divers next time.

Lastly, I wish you both continued happiness together forever! Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

この度はお二人でツアーに来ていただきましてありがとうございます。とても楽しんでいただけたようで本当に嬉しく思います。とてもラッキーなことに他のお客様がいない貸切ツアーでしたね!この日の午前は引き潮でしたので透明度も良く、いろんな種類のお魚や、たこ、レディフィッシュ、ウツボのボブちゃん、大きなカスミアジも見ていただきました。それと亀さんとはずーっと一緒に泳げてこれまたラッキーでしたね。是非次回はブルーハワイダイバースの体験ダイビングにもいらしてくださいね。
最後に、これからもお二人仲良く、いつまでもお幸せでありますように!!本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

At 67 years old, I thought this might be my last chance, so I decided to participate with a "Let's do it!" I was confident in my swimming skills, but it was my first time wearing a life vest, and I struggled to maintain my balance. I didn't want to be a burden to the seven others accompanying me, so I offered to quit. However, instructor Chieko held my hand and assured me, "It's okay!"

With two experienced instructors, Chieko and Dan, looking after the eight participants, I felt at ease and enjoyed a tour across Hanauma Bay for about an hour, feeling like a fish. The colorful fish were truly beautiful, and I was lucky to encounter a turtle as well.

Thank you, Chieko and Dan!

67歳にして、人生最後の機会かもと「エイヤッ!」と参加しました。
泳ぎには自信があったのですが、ライフベストを着たのが初めてでバランスがうまく取れず、同行の7人の方々の足手まといになってはいけないと「辞めます」と申し出たところ、インストラクターのちえこさんが「大丈夫!」と手をつないで泳いでくれました。
参加8人にちえこさんとダンさんの二人のベテランインストラクターが付いているので安心して1時間ほど、お魚になった気分でハナウマ湾を横断するツアーを楽しめました。色とりどりの魚、本当にきれいでしたよ。亀に出会えたのもラッキーでした。
ちえこさん、ダンさん、ありがとうございました。

Dear Arara, thank you for joining our tour. You seemed a bit anxious, but since you were able to breathe properly, I thought it would be a shame to stop there, so I held your hand and guided you. I was also happy that you persevered until the end. It was great that you got to see the turtles too! Please don't hesitate to visit us again when you come back to Hawaii; we would love to see you again. We are always here waiting for you. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

あらら様、この度は私達のツアーにお越し頂き、ありがとうございます。あらら様がちょっと不安そうには見えましたが、呼吸はちゃんと出来ていましたのであそこで辞めてしまうのはもったいないと思い、手をつないでお連れ致しました。最後まで頑張ってくださって私も嬉しかったです。亀さんにも会えてよかったですね!!是非またハワイにお越しの際には最後の機会と言わず、私達に会いに来てくださいね。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!!

カイルアビーチ送迎シャトルサービス 嬉しい5時間滞在!ビーチグッズなど各種レンタル付き<日本語スタッフ/ランチ付>

It was a wonderful beach. 素晴らしいビーチでした。

Reviewed by: ゆーみん

I have been shopping in Kailua Town several times, but this time I participated with the intention of just enjoying the beach. Both Kailua and Lanikai have wonderful beach locations. After arriving at the office, I rented a bike. It's reassuring to watch a video on how to ride before getting on. Having a bike makes it convenient and enjoyable to go from Kailua to Lanikai.

First, we headed straight to Lanikai, where we took photos and went into the sea, then returned to the office for lunch, and planned to play in Kailua again. There were also people who rode bikes to town. For those who want to enjoy little by little, renting a bike allows you to explore various places.

We each had different lunches, and both were delicious. The pizza is really big but exquisite.

カイルアタウンは買い物に何度か行きましたが、今回はビーチだけを楽しむつもりで参加しました。
カイルア・ラニカイともに素晴らしいロケーションのビーチでした。
オフィスに着いてからレンタサイクルを借りました。乗り方のビデオを観てから乗るので安心です。カイルアからラニカイは自転車があると便利で楽です。
まず真っ直ぐラニカイへ行き、そこで写真を撮ったり海に入るなどして、ランチを取りにオフィスまで戻り、またカイルアで遊ぶと言うビーチ満喫プランを立てました。
自転車でタウンへ行った方々もいらっしゃいました。
少しずつ楽しめれば良いという方はレンタサイクルであちこち周れます。
二人でそれぞれ別のランチを取りましたが、どちらも美味しかったです。ピザは本当に大きいですが絶品です。

Snorkeling for the first time in 20 years. 20年ぶりのシュノーケリング

Reviewed by: ひまわり

It was my first snorkeling experience at Hanauma Bay in 20 years. The clarity of the water and the number of fish have definitely decreased. I couldn't help but compare it to the ocean from the past, which was disappointing. However, I think it would be an impressive tour for first-time snorkelers. The pickup was on time, and they were very kind, providing recommendations for local shops and more.

20年ぶりのハナウマ湾でのシュノーケリングでした。
やはり海の透明度と魚の数は落ちてました。
昔の海にどうしても比べてしまい残念でした。
シュノーケリングが初めてであれば感動するツアーだとは思います。
迎えの時間どおりで、現地のお勧めのお店を教え下さったりと色々と親切にして頂いけました。

Dear Himawari, thank you very much for joining the tour. The snorkeling must have been really beautiful 20 years ago! This time, due to the high tide, it unfortunately turned out a bit whitish, and I apologize for that. If you have the chance again, please aim to visit Hanauma Bay during low tide. The visibility is significantly better then!

Thank you once again. I look forward to seeing you again. Mahalo!!

ひまわり様、この度はツアーにお越しいただきましてありがとうございます。きっと20年前のシュノーケリングはとっても綺麗だったんですね!今回は満ち潮でしたので、どうしてもちょっと白っぽくなってしまい、ごめんなさいね。是非また機会がありましたら、引き潮時を狙ってハナウマ湾にいらしてください。引き潮の時の方が透明度はグンと上がりますよ!!
本当にありがとうございました。またお会いできるのをお待ちしております。Mahalo!!
