I participated with my mother on January 5th. It was our first time, and my mother, who is 65 years old and had a past experience of almost drowning in the ocean, was quite anxious at the start.
However, thanks to Dan and Chieko's assistance, we were able to enjoy the experience until the end and see beautiful fish and turtles.
I apologize to the other participants for monopolizing Chieko, but both my mother and I were very satisfied!
My mother, who experienced snorkeling for the first time at 65, gained confidence from it and says every day that she wants to go again soon, haha.
This is an activity that both beginners and experienced individuals can enjoy. While you can visit Hanauma Bay on your own, Dan and Chieko know the best spots, so if you're going, I highly recommend this option.
You can also obtain photos for free from Facebook, making it a nice keepsake.
Dan and Chieko, I look forward to our next time!
1/5に母と二人で参加しました。二人とも初めてで、65歳になる母は昔海で溺れたこともあり、不安いっぱいでのスタートでした。
でも、DanさんとChiekoさんの手助けのおかげで最後まで楽しむことができ、綺麗なお魚や亀を見ることができました。
Chiekoさんを独り占めしてしまい、一緒に参加した他の方には申し訳ありませんでしたが、母も私も大満足でした!
65歳にもなって初めてシュノーケリング体験した母は、自信にも繋がり、早くまた行きたいと毎日言っております笑
初めての方も経験者の方も楽しめるアクティビティです。ハナウマベイは個人でも行けますが、ベテランのお二人だからこそ見どころスポットを熟知されてますので、せっかく行かれるのでしたらこちらがおススメです。
お写真もFacebookから無料で入手できるので、記念にもなります。
Danさん、Chiekoさん、次回も宜しくお願いしますね!

I was a bit anxious about snorkeling for the first time since I'm not a strong swimmer, but Chieko and Dan kindly and patiently taught me, allowing me to enjoy observing the underwater world. I got to see sea turtles and a lot of fish, and the weather was great, making it truly the best experience. I participated alone, but I had a wonderful time, and on the way back, they recommended some great places to eat, which was very helpful. Thank you so much! I will definitely join again!
初めてのシュノーケリングで、あまり泳ぎが得意ではないので不安だったのですが、チエコさんとダンさんに優しく丁寧に教えていただいて、海中観察を楽しむことができました。ウミガメも見られて、お魚もいっぱいみられて、天気も良くて、本当に最高の体験をさせていただきました。1人で参加しましたが、楽しく過ごせて、帰りの車の中でオススメのお店も教えてもらい、参考になりました。本当にありがとうございました。また参加します!
Thank you for joining the tour with Blue Hawaii Divers. The busy year-end and New Year period has recently settled down, and the sea conditions have been good, along with favorable weather, which is truly wonderful!

This was my 20th trip to Hawaii, but I had hardly experienced West Oahu. The farthest I had visited in Hawaii before was Ko Olina, so I was really looking forward to this West Oahu tour.
My husband and I participated, and since we were the only two participants that day, it felt like a private tour. Our guide, Akima, was a charming and wonderful Japanese person who handled four roles: driver, guide, instructor, and photographer, all with a smile.
The tour was packed with activities, including listening to myths related to the sightseeing spots and enjoying beautiful scenery. However, the most memorable part was snorkeling and encountering three sea turtles and a manta ray. According to Akima, seeing a manta ray happens about once a year, so we were very lucky.
We also opted for the photo shoot, and since Akima is an underwater photographer, he took many wonderful pictures of us swimming with the sea turtles, which made us very satisfied.
I heard that fewer people book this West Oahu tour in winter compared to summer, so I think winter is recommended for those who want to enjoy West Oahu in a smaller group and at a leisurely pace.
ハワイは20回目ですが、西Oahuはほとんど経験がありませんでした。今まで訪れたハワイの最西端はKo Olinaまでだったので、今回の西Oahuツアーは期待Max。
夫婦二人で参加しましたが、その日の参加者は私たち二人だけということで、ツアー貸し切り状態でした。
ガイドのAkimaさんは、ドライバー兼ガイド兼インストラクター兼カメラマンと一人で4役をこなす笑顔がチャーミングで素敵な日本人の方でした。
ツアーは、見学場所にまつわる神話を聞いたり、きれいな風景を楽しんだり、盛り沢山でしたが、一番印象深かったのはシュノーケリングでウミガメ3匹とマンタに出会えたことでした。Akimaさん曰くマンタを見たのは1年に1度くらいとのことなので、大変ラッキーでした。
私たちはオプションの写真撮影も申し込んでいたのですが、Akimaさんは水中カメラマンもやっている人なので、ウミガメと一緒に泳いでいるところ等、素敵な写真を沢山とっていただき、大変満足でした。
冬場はこの西Oahuのツアーを申し込む人は夏場に比べて少ないとのことでしたので、少人数でゆったりと西Oahuを楽しみたい人には冬場がお勧めだと思います。
Aloha! Thank you for the review. Thanks to Rocky's luck, it was quite the tour! I was super excited about the manta rays! Thank you! If you come back to Hawaii, I would be happy if you reached out to me!
Aloha,
Akima
アロハ! レビューありがとうございます。

We wouldn't have been able to see the turtles on our own, so swimming alongside the turtles and schools of fish was a precious experience, and we were very satisfied with the snorkeling. Additionally, the photos taken in the ocean were beautiful, and I was moved again when I returned home! It was truly a wonderful bonus to have memories of the ocean in Hawaii captured in such a way.

As expected, the town of Kailua was quiet on January 1st.

Only my family participated on the day. I thought we would go to Hanauma Bay with a larger group, but it seems there were only about two groups at a time. We got into the car of our instructor (who was Japanese) and headed to Hanauma Bay. The water was cold, and it took some determination to get in. I think it's better to borrow a wetsuit if you can. The rocks can be surprisingly dangerous. It was really great to have an experienced instructor with us. They taught us how to use the snorkel and fins, stayed close to my 9-year-old daughter who isn't very confident in swimming, and guided us along a relatively safe route despite the rocky and hazardous conditions underwater. We were even able to see turtles.
当日参加メンバーは私の家族のみ。私はもっと大人数でハナウマ湾に行くのかと思っていましたが一回に2組ぐらいらしいです。
インストラクタ(日本人)の車に乗り込んでハナウマ湾へ。
海が冷たくて、入るのに気合が必要でした。ウエットスーツを借りられるなら借りたほうが良いと思います。岩も案外危険です。
ベテランインストラクタがついていていただけたのは本当に良かったです。
スノーケルやフィンの使い方を教えてくれたり、あまり泳ぎの得意ではない9歳の娘につきっきりでいてくれたり、海の中は岩がゴツゴツして危険なのですが、比較的安全なルートを案内してくれたりと、至れり尽くせりの内容でした。亀も見ることができました。

There was enough time to enjoy just the beach.
There were many Japanese staff members, and they kindly helped me with anything I didn't understand, which was very helpful.

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(^^)(^^)

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.

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.

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!

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。
Dear Chiii, thank you for participating in the Blue Hawaii Divers tour. You mentioned that you couldn't swim at all, but you did very well! Despite some unexpected events, you persevered until the end. It was great that you got to see the turtles too! Depending on the sea conditions that day, we sometimes swim further out, so please join us again when you come back to Hawaii. We might be able to show you a different world. We are always here waiting for you. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
Chiiiさま、この度はブルーハワイダイバースのツアーにご参加いただき、ありがとうございます。全く泳げないとのことでしたが、とても上手でしたよ。ハプニングがあったものの、最後まで頑張ってくれましたね。亀にも会えて良かったですね!!その日の海のコンディションによっては沖の方まで泳いだりもしますので、是非またハワイにお越しの際にツアーに来てくださいね。また違った世界をお見せできるかもしれません。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 was great that day, and the waves were calm, allowing us to have a wonderful snorkeling experience. They guided us to spots that we wouldn't have been able to reach on our own, making it a fantastic tour to join! The two guides took many photos for us, and thanks to them, we were able to capture beautiful memories with the sea turtles.
この日は非常にお天気も良く、波も穏やかだったため、楽しいシュノーケリングを体験させていただけました。自分たちだけでは辿り着けなそうなスポットまでしっかり案内してくださり、参加して大正解のツアーでした!
ガイドのお二人もたくさんお写真を撮ってくださり、おかげでウミガメとの素敵な思い出が形に残せました。
Dear Aoki-san, thank you for joining the Blue Hawaii Divers tour. Dan and I are very happy to hear that you enjoyed it. How lucky you were to see sea turtles three times! Among all the tours, ours covers the widest area, which increases your chances of encountering turtles. Please do join us again when you come back to Hawaii. We look forward to seeing you again. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
あおきさん様、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。楽しんでいただけたようでDanも私もとても喜んでいます。3回もウミガメに会えたなんて本当にラッキーな日に当たりましたね!!数あるツアーの中でも私達のツアーが一番広い範囲を泳ぎに行きますので、亀に会える確率も高いのですよ。是非またハワイにお越しの際にはツアーに来てくださいね。またお会いでき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!!

As a Solo Traveler, I always worry about being the odd man out. Dan was excellent about making me feel like one of the crew. This was an amazing experience and I will definitely do it again.
Thanks Kristen, glad you enjoyed. Hope we see you again. Dan.

I was glad that I could enter without waiting in line, and that I was taken to a spot where sea turtles are present despite the rough waves. If I had come on my own, waiting in line would have drained a lot of my energy, and searching for sea turtles would have been quite difficult.
Additionally, during the return shuttle, I was able to hear information about sea turtles in another location from the instructor. That day, sea turtles actually appeared at that spot, and I was able to swim with them! Thank you very much.
窓口に並ばずにエントリーできる上に、波の荒い中ウミガメが居るポイントまで連れて行って頂けて良かったです。自力で来ていたら窓口に並ぶことで大分体力を奪われてしまうし、ウミガメを探すのも大変だと思います。
更に帰りの送迎の中でインストラクターさんから別の場所のウミガメ情報を聞くことができました。そしてその日に本当にその場所にウミガメが出て一緒に泳ぐことができました!ありがとうございました。

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.
社員旅行のスケジュールの合間に
女性40代から50代の5人で参加しました。環境に配慮するビデオ観てから、魚とサンゴへの配慮をしっかり意識していざ海へ。
ダンとチエコの案内でとても安心して、
シュノーケルを楽しめました。
何年かぶりの海に入る仲間も居ましたが、事前に借りたウエットスーツで
岩場ギリギリに泳ぐ時も、ハラハラせず、
リラックスして、泳ぎをたのしめました。
亀2匹にも遭遇!大満足で海を後にしました。途中、ダイヤモンドヘッドへの途中下車組にも対応下さりありがとうございました。トランプ大統領訪問にスケジュールがどうなるかとハラハラしながら
色々アドバイス下さり、皆無事ホテルに戻ってこれました。
色々ありがとうございました。
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. I'm glad you were able to return safely from Diamond Head to Waikiki. It seems everyone enjoyed snorkeling, which makes me really happy. The two turtles were a lucky sighting! We would be delighted if you all could join us again on another tour when you visit Hawaii. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
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ましてありがとうございます。丁度トランプ大統領のハワイ入り、ワイキキ訪問と重なり、ワイキキには交通規制が入り一日中大変な日でしたね。無事にダイアモンドヘッドからワイキキに戻れて良かったですね。シュノーケリングも皆さんに楽しんでいただけたようで、本当に嬉しく思います。2匹の亀さんはラッキーでしたね。是非またハワイにお越しの際には皆さんでツアーにリピートしていただければ幸いです。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

Ayumi, thank you for joining our tour together. It's natural to feel nervous for the first time, but once you get used to snorkeling, anyone can become good at it. Once you get comfortable with your breathing, you'll have the chance to see the fish, and it gradually becomes more enjoyable. Your mother did great and persevered until the end. It was wonderful that you both got to swim with the schools of fish and the turtles. We would be happy to assist you again, so please come back for another tour with us. We are always looking forward to seeing you again. Thank you very much. We look forward to meeting you again. Mahalo!!
Ayumi様、この度はお二人でツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。初めての場合は皆さん緊張してしまいますが、シュノーケリングは慣れれば誰でも上手になれるのです。呼吸に慣れればお魚を見る余裕ができ、だんだん楽しくなってきます。お母様もそんな感じで、最後まで頑張ってくれましたね。お魚の群れやカメさんとも一緒に泳げて良かったですね。ぜひまたお手伝い致しますので、お二人で私達のツアーにお越しください。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。またお会いできるのを楽しみにしております。Mahalo!!
