It was rainy and chilly on the day of our visit. Although we would get wet in the ocean anyway, it was disappointing that the temperature was low. However, since we had made our reservation months in advance, we couldn't predict the weather.
We were picked up by our driver and female diver, F. This morning, it was just my wife and me, so we had F all to ourselves. Lucky us! The car ride was filled with enjoyable conversations about life in Hawaii and our children. Before we knew it, we arrived at Hanauma Bay.
After watching a video, we headed to the beach. F had already prepared everything. Since it was cold, she provided a wetsuit and a prescription mask for my nearsightedness. Additionally, she had a large lockable box ready for us, allowing us to safely store our clothes and belongings. Especially since it was a cold rain, it was a relief that our dry clothes didn't get wet. Thank you!
After practicing snorkeling while wading up to our waists, we began snorkeling. Once we started swimming, the rain didn't bother me at all, and moving around kept me warm. Although it was raining, there were no waves, so we were excited to venture out further!
At one point, my wife's leg cramped, possibly due to her unfamiliarity with snorkeling. However, F promptly took care of her, which was a great help. After that, F held my wife's hand and guided her while swimming. It would have been difficult for me alone. I was grateful to have F with us. Thank you!
F spotted a sea turtle out in the ocean, and we were amazed to see a baby sea turtle. It swam leisurely behind us for a while. F informed her fellow Japanese guide, and everyone gathered together. It was heartwarming to see the spirit of helping each other to make the tour better.
The underwater world was calm, filled with beautiful fish of various colors swimming in schools, resembling a stunning underwater palace. This was all thanks to F, who accurately guided us to where the fish were. I am grateful.
Benefits of this tour:
- The guidance in Japanese made everything easy to understand.
- F provided wetsuits and masks as needed.
- We could safely leave our clothes and belongings.
- F guided us to places where we could encounter fish and sea turtles, increasing our chances of sightings compared to going alone.
- Even those unfamiliar with snorkeling received care, making it reassuring.
It was a very enjoyable tour. Thank you, F! I hope to visit Hanauma Bay on a sunny day next time!
当日は雨、しかも肌寒い。どうせ海に入れば濡れるのだが、気温が低いのが残念。しかし、数か月前に予約しているのだから、天気まで読めない。
ホテルに迎えに来て頂く。運転手兼女性ダイバーのFさん。今日の午前中は我々夫婦のみ。Fさんを貸切状態。ラッキー!車中はハワイでの暮らしや子供の話で楽しい時間。あっという間にハナウマ湾に着く。
我々はビデオを見てからビーチへ。先に着いたFさんが準備万端。寒いのでウェットと近視の私の為に度付きのマスクを用意してくれる。また、大きな鍵のかかるボックスを用意してくれていて、着替えや手荷物を安心してしまっておけました。特に、寒い雨だったので、乾いた着替えが濡れなかったのは助かりました。ありがとうございます。
腰までつかってシュノーケリングの練習をしてから、シュノーケリング開始。泳ぎだすと雨はもちろん気にならないし、身体を動かすので私は寒くなくなる。今日は、雨だが波がないので沖まで出られるとのことで楽しみ!ワクワク!
途中、慣れないシュノーケリングの為か?家内の脚が攣る。しかし、Fさんが的確に処置してくださり助かる。その後はFさんが家内の手を引いて泳いで案内してくれる。私一人では大変でした。Fさんが居てくださって助かりました。ありがとうございます。
沖でウミガメをFさんが発見。子供の生ウミガメに感動する。しばらく、後ろをのんびりと泳ぐ。Fさんが仲間の日本人ガイドさんに教えてあげて、皆が集合する。助け合ってより良いツアーにしようとする気持ちが嬉しい。
海の中は穏やかで、様々な色の綺麗な魚が群れになっていて、綺麗な竜宮城のようでした。これも魚のいる場所に正確に案内してくれたFさんのお蔭です。感謝。
このツアーのメリット
○日本語で案内して頂けるのでよく分かります。
○ウェットやマスクなども適宜、用意してくださいます。
○着替え、手荷物を安心して置いておけます。
○魚やウミガメの遭遇出来る場所に案内してくれるので、個人で行くよりも遭遇できる確率が高くなると思います。
○シュノーケリングに慣れていない方でもケアしてもらえるので安心です。
とっても、楽しいツアーでした。Fさん、ありがとう!今度は晴れたハナウマ湾に行きたいです!

As a family of four, this was a fantastic experience with Blue Divers of Hawaii. Our trip in winter was a bit of a windy day. However, our guides had wet suits that we could rent for the snorkeling trip. Saved all of us on that chilly day. Guides were excellent with making everyone comfortable in their masks and keeping us together as a group. Best part was seeing the turtles and the small shark!!

I participated on December 8th. December in Hawaii is the rainy season, and it was rainy from the morning. If the weather had been better, the ocean would have looked clearer, but with the bad weather, the ocean was indeed dim. However, it was great to see many tropical fish and sea turtles.
12月8日に参加しました。ハワイの12月は雨季、朝から雨模様でした。天気が良ければもっと海の中は綺麗に見えたのでしょうが、やはり天気が悪いと海の中も薄暗く…。でも、多くの熱帯魚とウミガメと会えたのは良かった。
Thank you for participating in the tour. Hawaii is now in winter, and it has been particularly rainy lately. Unfortunately, we instructors cannot change the weather... However, on this day, the waves were calm, and the visibility and sea conditions were excellent, allowing us to swim out to the outer area. We headed out from the keyhole and immediately encountered a large school of surgeonfish, a rare sighting of a school of bigeye trevally, and we were able to see two turtles, which I thought would bring you joy, so I feel a bit disappointed. Please come back to Hanauma Bay on a sunny day next time. I hope your wife can join us instead of just observing next time! Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
この度はツアーにご参加いただきましてありがとうございます。ハワイも今は冬になり、最近は特に雨が多くなっています。お天気ばかりは私達インストラクターでも変えることはできないです、、、。でもこの日は波が無くて透明度も海のコンディションも最高に良く、アウトサイドの沖の方まで泳ぐことができた日です。キーホールから沖に向かい、すぐに巨大なシマハギの群れ、めったに見られないビッグアイジャック(ギンガメアジ)の群れ、そして亀は2匹も見ることが出来て、喜んでいただけたかと思っていましたので、ちょっと残念です。ぜひまたお天気の良い時にハナウマ湾に来てくださいね。次回はぜひ奥様も見学では無く、ご一緒にご参加下さいね!!

Thank you for joining the tour with Blue Hawaii Divers. Recently, Hawaii has been experiencing strong winds, which have created some wave conditions.

This was my sixth trip to Hawaii, and I was drawn to the west side of Oahu, which I had never visited before, so my husband and I joined a tour.
We were surprised to find that we were the only two participants, but our tour guide Akima made it a wonderful experience with fun conversations and stories about Hawaii's history and legends. At Kaneana Cave, we were able to feel the mystical atmosphere, and in Makua Valley, we experienced the sacred mana in our bodies. It was a very strange sensation.
During snorkeling, I felt a bit nauseous due to the waves, but swimming with the turtles was a great experience.
We opted for the photo package. They took some lovely pictures of us, which was fantastic. The photo below is one I took, but it's a bit blurry.
Thank you, Akima, for the enjoyable guidance.
I definitely recommend visiting the west side of Oahu, where there are hardly any tourists, to recharge your energy!

カネアナ洞窟では神秘な空気にふれることや、マクア渓谷では神聖なマナを体に感じることができました。とても不思議な感覚を味あわうことができました。
シュノーケリングでは、波によってしまい気分が悪くなってしまって、でもカメと泳ぐことができとてもいい経験になりました。
写真パッケージをオプションしました。素敵な写真を撮ってもらい、とてもよかったです。
下の写真は、私が撮った写真でピンボケです。
あきまさん楽しいガイドありがとうございました。
ぜひ、観光客のほとんどいない西オワフへパワーをもらいに1度行ってみてね♪♪
Thank you for your review.
Since this tour is still not widely known, it sometimes feels like a private tour.
I'm really glad you were able to experience the different world of West Oahu, feeling the mana and power, separate from Waikiki and the North Shore.
We look forward to welcoming you again!
Aloha,
Akima
レビューありがとうございます。
まだまだ知られていないツアーなので、時々、プライベートツアー状態です。
ワイキキやノースショアとはまた別の世界の西オアフ、マナやパワーと感じていただけて本当に良かったです。
またぜひお待ちしております!

I had an absolutely wonderful time! As a beginner in snorkeling, I felt at ease because our guide took us to points with large schools of fish and turtles. I'm glad we could go to places we wouldn't have been able to reach on our own! Thank you very much! I really enjoyed the underwater world! ☆
最高に楽しい時間でした!
シュノーケル初心者でしたが、ガイドさんが魚の大群や亀のいるポイントまで案内してくれたので安心して楽しめました。自分達だけでは行けなかった所まで行けてよかったです!ありがとうございました!海の世界を満喫できました☆

It was an incredibly beautiful sea, and it was a very precious experience. Both Chieko and Dan provided very careful guidance, so my daughter and wife, who can't swim, enjoyed snorkeling without any anxiety! I signed up after reading the reviews, so it was disappointing that we didn't see any sea turtles. I brought an underwater camera, and when I looked at the photos later, I was surprised to see so many different kinds of fish! I actually saw them, though (laughs). Since it was a long snorkeling session, I was really thirsty towards the end. We received water after snorkeling, but I think it would be better to distribute it beforehand so we could take a sip or two before heading out. I thought it was just me, but my daughter also said she was so thirsty she thought she might die (of course, she was joking). If I get to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely repeat this tour! I'm also happy that there's a service to download photos from the internet. I'll definitely go again!
メチャメチャ綺麗な海で、とても貴重な体験でした。Chiekoさんも、Danさんもとても丁寧に指導してくれたので、泳げない娘と嫁も不安なくシュノーケリングを楽しみました!クチコミを読んで申し込んだので、ウミガメが見られなかった事だけが残念です。水中で使えるカメラを持って行ったのですが、後で写真を見たら、本当に色々な種類の魚達が写っていて驚きました!実際見ているのですが(笑)。長時間のシュノーケリングだったので、後半は喉が渇いてカラカラになっていました。シュノーケル後にお水を頂きましたが、先に配って頂いて、一口二口飲んでから出発の方が良いと思います。僕だけかと思っていたら、娘も喉がカラカラで死ぬかと思った(勿論冗談ですが)と、言ってました。またハワイに行けたら、このツアーはリピートありです!ネットから写真をダウンロード出来るのも嬉しいサービスです。また行きま~す!
Thank you, Kohe, for participating in the Blue Hawaii Divers tour with your family. At Hanauma Bay, you can observe various types of fish, including large fish, colorful beautiful fish, and schools of fish swimming together. It's truly a fun beach to dive into at any time. Unfortunately, this time we weren't able to show you any turtles, and I apologize for that. Since they are wild creatures, there are times when you can see them and times when you cannot. Please do come back to Hawaii again, and let's go look for turtles! I look forward to seeing you all again. Thank you. Mahalo!!
KOHEさん、この度はご家族で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。
ハナウマベイでは色々な種類の魚達を観察することができ、大きな魚、カラフルな綺麗な魚、大群で泳いでいる魚達、本当にいつ潜っても楽しいビーチです。今回は残念ながら亀をお見せすることができず、ごめんなさいね。やはり自然の中の生き物ですので、見れる時と見れない時があります。是非またハワイにお越しの際にはリピートしていただき、また亀を探しに行きましょう!!皆さんにお会いできるのを楽しみにしています。
ありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

When I went to Hawaii, I definitely wanted to try snorkeling, so I joined this tour. I apologize for the inconvenience caused by not noticing the time change on the day of the tour, but I was relieved that it didn't affect the start of the tour. It was my first time participating in an overseas activity, and I was anxious, but it was a great help that Dan and Chieko communicated with me in Japanese. The weather was clear that day, and the sea was beautiful; I was able to see many fish underwater. I often had issues with seawater getting in while snorkeling before, but the snorkeling gear provided this time was so high-performance that no seawater came in at all, making it very easy to swim. I was also surprised to see cats and mongooses in Hanauma Bay, and I was able to capture them on camera, which made for a great memory. If I come to Hawaii again, I would like to try scuba diving as well.
ハワイに行ったら是非シュノーケルをやってみたいと思い、こちらのツアーに参加しました。
当日は時間変更があったことに気付かずご迷惑をお掛けしましたが、ツアーの開始に支障が出なくて安心しました。
初めての海外での参加で不安でしたが、ダン先生とちえこさんが日本語で応対してもらえたので大変助かりました。
当日は快晴でとても海が綺麗で水中では魚をいっぱい見ることができました。
シュノーケルを行う際は海水が入ってきてしまうことが今までよくありましたが、今回提供してもらったシュノーケルは高性能?なのか海水が全く入ってこず大変泳ぎやすかったです。
水中の魚もそうでしたが、ハナウマ湾には猫やマングースもいることに驚きました。こちらもカメラに収めることができて良い記念になりました。
次回またハワイに来ることがあったらスキューバダイビングにも挑戦してみたいです。
Thank you for participating in the snorkeling tour with Blue Hawaii Divers. I apologize for rushing you during the pickup.
When the weather is nice, the underwater visibility is bright, and I hope you enjoyed seeing many fish that day. The snorkels we use during the tour are called dry snorkels, designed to prevent seawater from entering through the top part that is above the water's surface, making them very easy to use. To ensure that everyone can experience snorkeling safely and comfortably, we always require the use of snorkeling jackets. This allows swimmers to conserve energy significantly, and most people are able to keep going until the end.
Hassy, please join us again on your next visit to Hawaii. We also offer introductory diving experiences at Hanauma Bay, so if you're interested, I highly recommend trying diving as well. I look forward to seeing you again. Thank you. Mahalo!!
この度はブルーハワイダイバースのシュノーケルツアーにご参加いただき、ありがとうございます。ピックアップの時には急がせてしまい、申し訳ありませんでした。
お天気が良いと海の中も明るく見え、この日は沢山のお魚達を楽しんでいただけたかと思います。また私達がツアー中に使用しているシュノーケルはドライシュノーケルと言う物で、水面に出ている上の部分からは海水が入ってこないように出来ているためにとっても使いやすいものなのですよ。どなたにでも楽に安全にシュノーケリングを体験していただけるよう、シュノーケルジャケットも必ず着用しています。このお陰で泳ぐ時のエネルギーもかなりセーブでき、大抵の方は最後まで頑張ってくださいます。
はっしー様、またハワイにお越しの際には私達のツアーにお越しくださいね。私達はハナウマベイにて体験ダイビングもしていますので、もしよかったらダイビングもオススメです。またお会いできるのを楽しみにしています。ありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

This was my second time snorkeling at Hanauma Bay, and I was once again amazed by the beauty of the ocean and how easily I could see fish and sea urchins. The guide was also very kind; when I asked if we could see turtles, he went out of his way to search for them at the edge. Unfortunately, we didn't see any turtles, but I had a great time seeing many fish and sea urchins. I tend to get seasick easily, but after taking some motion sickness medication, I was able to enjoy it without feeling sick. Since the tour ends in the morning, I could schedule other plans in the afternoon and make good use of my time.
The local volunteer staff and the guide expressed disappointment that some people were not following the rule of "not standing on the rocks." Additionally, there were people using shampoo and body soap, which should not be used as it flows directly into the ocean. Even when they were warned, it was too late as it had already flowed away... We really need to follow the rules for the sake of future generations.
ハナウマ湾でのシュノーケルは2度目だったのですが、海のきれいさ、魚やウニを簡単に見れることに感動再びです。ガイドさんも親切で、亀は見れますか?と聞いたら、わざわざ端の方まで探しに行ってくださいました。亀は結局いませんでしたが、魚やウニ等たくさん見れてとても楽しかったです。海に酔いやすいので、酔い止めを飲んだら酔うことなく楽しめました。午前中で終わるので、午後に別の予定も入れられて時間を有効に使えます。
現地のボランティアスタッフさんもガイドさんも「岩の上に立たない」というルールを守ってもらえない、と残念そうに話していました。あとシャンプー、ボディソープはそのまま海に流れていくので、使用してはいけないのに使っている方がいました。注意してももう流れてしまうので手遅れとのこと…。後世のためにルールは守らないといけないですね。

For my husband and me, who have pretty much visited all the typical tourist spots, the opportunity to be taken to the uncharted territory of West Oahu caught our attention, so we signed up for this tour.
West Oahu was quite different from the scenery we had seen in other areas of Oahu; it had a strong local flavor and was a very interesting place.
There were no crowds, and we didn't see any Japanese people at all (laughs).
Since there was no need to cross mountains like when going to the North Shore, the views were mostly of the ocean, and I think we could enjoy the drive back and forth without getting bored.
During snorkeling, we saw many beautifully colored fish like those in a guidebook, and we were able to swim alongside a sea turtle that appeared by chance, which was very moving...
The guide is also an underwater photographer, so I think even those who are snorkeling for the first time can feel at ease as they receive careful instruction. (It was also fun in a different way when he dove down to show us a sea urchin!!)
I visit Hawaii twice a year, and next time, I would love to request this guide's private tour to hear more fun stories!
☆ As mentioned in the notes, during snorkeling, you leave everything in the car, so I think it's best not to bring valuables. A little cash for lunch and a towel should be enough. ☆
I hope this is helpful!
典型的な観光地はだいたい行き尽くした私たち夫婦にとって、未踏の地である西オアフに連れて行ってもらえるというのが目にとまり、このツアーを申し込みました。
西オアフは、これまでオアフ島の他の地域で見た景色とは違って、かなりローカル色が強く、とても興味深い場所でした。
人がごった返していることもなく、日本人もまったく見かけません(笑)
ノースショアに行くときのように山を越えることもないので、景色も海が多く、飽きることなくドライブ感覚で行って帰って来られたと思います。
シュノーケリングでは、図鑑で見るような綺麗な色の魚をたくさん見れたり、偶然現れたウミガメと一緒に泳ぐことができ、非常に感動的でした。。。
ガイドさんは水中カメラマンもしているので、シュノーケリングが初めての方も丁寧に教えてもらえるので安心できると思います。
(潜ってウニをとって見せてくれたり別の意味でも楽しかったです!!)
年に2回訪れるハワイ、次回は楽しいお話が聞ける、このガイドさんのプライベートツアーをお願いしたいくらいです!
☆注意事項に書かれているとおり、シュノーケリング中は車にすべてを置いて行くので、貴重品は持参しないほうがよいと思います。ランチを購入するための多少の現金とタオルがあれば十分かと☆
参考になれば嬉しいです。
Thank you for your review.
West Oahu really gives you a glimpse of what Hawaii must have been like in the past. Watching the locals, it feels like time starts to slow down...
Snorkeling and ocean activities are our specialty at Hawaii Real Nature Tours. I believe you'll get to see a different side of the ocean, so please come back if you have the chance.
Aloha,
Akima
レビューありがとうございます。
西オアフは昔のハワイってこんなんだったんだろうなーという景色ですよね。ローカルを見ているとなんだが時間までゆっくり流れ始めそうな・・
シュノーケルや海のアクティビティはハワイリアルネイチャーツアーの一番得意とするところです。また違う海が見れると思いますのでぜひ機会がありましたらまたお越しくださいませ。

We were greeted by a van and taken to the organizer-operated adventure center near Kailua Beach. We rented bicycles as an option and extended our trip to Lanikai Beach, which took about 15 minutes to reach. For lunch, we had a choice and enjoyed beef curry and pizza, which were surprisingly delicious. In the second half, we shopped in Kailua town, about a 10-minute bike ride away. We had four hours, so we were able to take our time. The facility was convenient, with lockers, changing rooms, showers, and restrooms. There were also two Japanese-speaking staff members, so we had no issues. Overall, it was a great tour of the Kailua area.
バンでお出迎え。カイルアビーチ近くの主催者経営のアドベンチャーセンターへ。私達はオプションで自転車を借り、ラニカイビーチまで足を延ばしました。15分程で着きます。ランチはチョイスが出来ビーフカレーとピザを頂きましたが、これが思ったより美味しかった。後半は自転車で10分程のカイルア市街地で買い物しました。時間は4時間ありますので、結構ゆっくり回れました。施設にはロッカー・更衣室・シャワー・トイレもあり便利でした。日本語スタッフも二人いて困る事はありませんでした。カイルア地区ツアーとしては良い内容でした。
