Hanauma Bay Snorkel Tour with Expert Guide & Waikiki Transportation

Best Snorkel Tour

Reviewed by: Cory

We had an amazing time on this tour. The guides were so helpful and made sure my children learned to snorkel and stayed safe. They made sure we saw a lot of fish and we even saw a sea turtle.

Hi Cory, glad you guys enjoyed and glad we got to see the turtle. Come again. Dan and Chieko.

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>

I'm so glad I chose this tour!!! ♡ このツアーにして良かった!!!♡

Reviewed by: みちゃ

I joined this tour after reading reviews. As someone who can't swim at all, I felt like I could swim on this tour, and I had been set on doing snorkeling here! After receiving explanations together, I practiced one-on-one with Teacher Chieko, who kindly encouraged me to relax, and before I knew it, my fear of the water disappeared. Once I got used to it, it was really easy!

I quickly got comfortable and joined everyone else, swimming with my husband holding my hand. I swam in the ocean for the first time in my life. The beauty of the underwater world was truly amazing!! I was able to see many fish and even a sea turtle♡

The only ones who swam energetically until the end were those wearing wetsuits (including me). I highly recommend wetsuits for sun protection and managing your health! Even though I was so anxious about not being able to swim, I wanted to keep swimming forever, and it was the best tour I had in Hawaii! My husband and I talked about wanting to do it again.

Teacher Dan was fluent in Japanese and great at making jokes, which made our time really enjoyable♫ Thank you for the wonderful photos!! I'm grateful to both of you☆ I want to try diving next time (((o(*゚▽゚*)o)))

口コミを見てこちらのツアーに参加しました。
まったく泳げない私はこのツアーなら泳げるような気がして、シュノーケルやるならここ!!ってずっと決めてました。
みんなで説明を受けた後、最初は泳げない私とチエコ先生とマンツーマンで練習し、その間優しい声をかけてリラックスさせてくれて、いつしか水に対する恐怖心はなくなってました。慣れたらとても簡単でした!
すぐに慣れてみんなと合流し、夫に手を引いてもらって泳ぎました。
…生まれて初めて海を泳げました。海の中の綺麗さは本当に素晴らしかったです!!たくさんのお魚にウミガメも見る事が出来ました♡
最後まで元気に泳いでたのは見事にウエットスーツを着てる人だけでした(私も)。日焼け防止と体調管理にウエットスーツは本当にオススメです!
あんなに泳げなくて不安だったのに、ずっとずっと泳いでいたいくらいで、ハワイに来て1番最高のツアーだったね!またやりたい!って夫と話してました。
ダン先生は日本語ペラペラでジョークが得意で話してて本当に楽しかった♫
素敵な写真もありがとうございました!!お二人に感謝です☆
次はダイビングで参加してみたいです(((o(*゚▽゚*)o)))

Thank you for participating in the tour with Blue Hawaii Divers. I'm really glad to hear that you enjoyed your first snorkeling experience. It was lucky that you encountered a cute sea turtle!

Many of our customers express a desire to try snorkeling even if they can't swim. We provide snorkeling jackets, so you can comfortably float on the surface and observe the fish. As long as you get used to breathing, even non-swimmers can kick slowly with fins and enjoy the experience. It really depends on your determination! Our instructors will be there to assist you, so please relax and enjoy the beautiful nature of Hanauma Bay!

Micha, thank you for your effort until the end. I hope we can go snorkeling or experience diving together again when you come back to Hawaii.

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ツアーにご参加いただき、ありがとうございます。初めてのシュノーケリングをとても楽しんでいただけたようで、本当に良かったです。かわいいウミガメにも遭遇出来てラッキーでしたね!!
私達のツアーには泳げないけどやってみたい!と言うお客様が多くいらっしゃいます。シュノーケリング用のジャケットを着用していただきますので、常に水面に楽チンに浮かんでお魚を観察することができ、泳げない方でも呼吸さえ慣れてもらえれば足ひれがあるのでゆっくりキックをしてもらえれば大丈夫泳げてしまうのです。あとは皆様の頑張ろう!と言うお気持ち次第ですね。私達インストラクターも側でお手伝いいたしますので、安心してハナウマベイの美しい自然を楽しんでください!!
みちゃ様、最後まで頑張ってくださって、ありがとうございました。是非またハワイに来た時にはシュノーケルでも体験ダイビングでもご一緒できればと思っています。
またお会いできるのをお待ちしています。
ありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

Reviewed by: みきちゃん

When we participated, there were many foreign participants, but they kindly taught us various things in Japanese, which made us feel at ease during the tour. It was my second time snorkeling, but perhaps because we were in the water for a bit longer than before, I got seasick. Next time, I want to take motion sickness medication before participating. I was disappointed that I didn't get to see any turtles. The view was very beautiful.

私たちが参加したときは、外国人参加者の方が多かったですが、日本語で丁寧にいろいろなことを教えてくださいって、安心してツアーに参加できました。シュノーケリングは何回目かでしたが、今までより少し長めの時間海にいたせいか、酔ってしまいました。今度は酔い止めを飲んでから参加したいと思います。亀に会えず残念でした。とてもながめはきれいでした。

This is my second time participating, following last year. My travel companion doesn't snorkel, so I always sign up alone, but both Dan and Chieko talked to me a lot, so I didn't feel lonely at all. I highly recommend this for anyone who is going alone.

They provide thorough snorkeling instruction, so even though it had been a year since my last snorkeling experience, I was able to enjoy seeing the underwater world without any issues.

Photos can be downloaded for free from Facebook. I would like to participate again next time.

昨年に続き、2度目の参加です。旅の同行者はシュノーケルをしないので、毎回一人申し込みなのですが、Danさん、Chiekoさんともにたくさん話しかけてくださり、一人でも寂しくないので、ぜひ一人の方にもお勧めしたいです。
しっかりとシュノーケルの指導をしてくれるので、1年ぶりのシュノーケルでしたがトラブルなく、楽しく海の中を見ることができました。

Dan and his wife were lovely and very helpful with the group of 9. Being a first time snorkeler and not a very good swimmer, they were patient with each and every one of us.

It's the best! 最高です!

Although I have already passed my sixtieth birthday, I really wanted to participate in a snorkeling tour, so I searched for various tours and finally found this one. It was the right choice!! They taught me how to use the snorkel very carefully, so I was able to enjoy seeing many small fish without any anxiety, and I had a really fun time. They also kindly advised me that if I was going to take motion sickness medication, now was the time, and that I didn't need a wetsuit since it was summer. Thank you very much. I definitely want to participate again next time.

還暦も過ぎた身でありながら、ぜひシュノーケリングツアーに参加したいと思って、いろいろなツアーを探して、最後にこちらのツアーにたどり着きました。正解でした!!シュノーケルの使い方をとても丁寧に教えてくださったので、全く不安なく気持よくたくさんの小魚を見ることができとても楽しい時間を持つことができました。また、波酔いもあるから酔い止めを服用するなら今ですよとか、夏なのでウエットスーツは必要ありませんよ等など丁寧に教えていただきました。ありがとうございました。また、ぜひ次回も参加したいと思います。

Thank you for joining the tour with Blue Hawaii Divers. We strive to provide the best course for everyone, regardless of age, to safely enjoy Hanauma Bay, taking into account the conditions of the day. For those who are prone to motion sickness, many tend to experience seasickness, so we recommend taking anti-nausea medication before participating in the tour to enjoy snorkeling more comfortably. We look forward to meeting you, Kokko, on your next visit to Hawaii. Thank you, and take care! Mahalo!

I am satisfied. 満足です

Reviewed by: はなな

On the day of the tour, a hurricane was approaching, and there were waves, with the sea visibility around 7 to 10 meters. I think the visibility is usually better. The weather was quite bad, but of course, the weather doesn't affect the plan.
The guide seemed to have diving experience and carefully explained the snorkeling precautions. It was the most thorough snorkeling tour I've had so far. The way we snorkeled was quite fun, similar to how divers move around. I found it more interesting than some strange introductory diving experiences. My companion was smiling the whole time.
I thought we wouldn't see any turtles due to the rough sea, but everyone was diligently searching, and we did see some turtles. There were also older participants (in their 60s to 80s) who smiled and said, "It's my first time."
Despite the bad weather, I felt relaxed in that calm, homey atmosphere. The guide was kind.

Hanauma Bay seems to be very suitable for first-timers or those who may have concerns about their physical strength, as the sea level can change with the tides.

当日はハリケーンが近づいていて波があり、海の透明度は7~10メートルくらいでした。普段の透明度はもっといいと思います。割と悪天候でした。もちろん、天候はプランとは関係ないです。
ガイドさんはダイビング歴があるみたいで、シュノーケリングの注意事項を丁寧に教えてくれました。今までのシュノーケリングのツアーで一番丁寧でした。シュノーケリングのまわりかたもダイビングをしている人のまわり方で結構楽しかったです。変な体験ダイビングとかよりも面白いなと思いました。連れは終始笑顔でした。
海が荒れているとカメには会えないだろうなと思っていましたが、みんな一生懸命さがしていて、カメもいました。
ご年配(60~80代くらい)の方も参加されていて、「生まれて初めてだ」と笑顔でした。
そういう穏やかなアットホームの雰囲気に悪天候でしたが癒されました。
ガイドさんは親切でした。

ハナウマ湾は潮の満ち引きで、海面が低くなったりするみたいなので、初めての方や、体力に不安があったりする方には非常にいい気がします。

It was just my elementary school daughter and me participating. Since it wasn't a tour from a travel agency, I was a bit nervous about the operating company, but the guide was a very friendly Japanese woman. We had a lot of fun chatting, and she even told us about some delicious restaurants in Hawaii, which helped ease my nerves and allowed me to truly enjoy snorkeling. Later, when I looked at the photos, I was surprised to see that the sky was quite cloudy! Thanks to the guide, we were able to see many beautiful fish, so I didn't even think about the clouds (laughs). I was also happy to receive the photos taken through Facebook for free. I'm really glad I chose this tour! I definitely plan to use this service again next time!

With a reservation made and paid for 3 weeks in advance, with no notification, apology or anything we got stood up! When you travel thousands of miles and program once in a lifetime activities you have to be able to rely on these on line bookings! We fully regret using this company as we lost a whole day of a planned activity, you simple can't afford to waste time like this when you are on vacation for a limited amount of days. Telling us "we will refund your money" just isn't enough! DO NOT BOOK YOUR SNORKELING TOUR HERE!!

The sea is very beautiful! 海がとってもきれい!

Reviewed by: nke

I think this is a tour that can be participated in with peace of mind, even with young children in elementary school.

Renting a car seemed tiring due to the hassle of finding parking and driving on unfamiliar roads, so it was great for us to be driven to a beautiful, less crowded beach. The kids were very happy.

We were able to play at the beach for about two hours, which felt just right, but I thought that two hours wouldn't be enough for lunch and shopping during the Kailua sightseeing.

That's why I gave it a ★4 rating.

我が家は小学校低学年の子連れでしたが、子供がいても安心して参加できる
ツアーだと思います。
レンタカーを借りても駐車場探しや不慣れな道を運転するのが疲れそうで、
私達には車に乗せてもらい気楽に人の少ないきれいなビーチへ行けたのでとても良かったです。
子供も大喜びでした。

ビーチは2時間くらい遊べたのでちょうどいいと思いましたが、
カイルア観光はランチと買い物をする時間は2時間では足りないように思いました。
なので★4とさせて頂きました。

The fish is disappointing. 魚は期待できない

Reviewed by: 熊崎孝之

I was expecting the beauty of the ocean, but while it is cleaner than Waikiki, it wasn't impressive. Upon reflection, there are more fish in rocky areas than in sandbars, so I wouldn't recommend it for those wanting to see fish. It's about a 20-minute bike ride to the city. I went to Target to buy souvenirs, but the chocolate obviously melts. The bike rental is $10. The staff are Japanese, so it's reassuring! The cost performance isn't great; it might be better to go by taxi or rent a car.

海のきれいさを期待していましたが、ワイキキよりはきれいなものの、感動するほどではありません。よく考えてみたら、サンドバーよりは岩場の方が魚がいるわけで、魚を見たい人にはお勧めしません。街へは自転車で20分くらい。お土産を買おうとターゲットに行きましたが、チョコは当然のごとく溶けます。自転車は10ドル。スタッフは日本人なので安心です!コスパは悪め、タクシーかレンタカーで行く方がよいかな。

The sea is beautiful. 海がきれい

Reviewed by: 燃える闘魂

We participated as a family of four. Personally, I think the ocean at Waikiki Beach is not that great, so we joined this tour in search of a beautiful sea. Kailua Beach was also beautiful, but we walked with our daughter to the slightly farther Lanikai Beach. (You can easily make the round trip on foot, not just by bike.) Lanikai Beach felt a bit more beautiful than Kailua Beach, and the location was stunning and impressive. For lunch, we chose pizza. It was very delicious, and even the family members who had a poor appetite enjoyed it.

とてもロケーションも良く感動的でした。
昼食は、ピザを選択しました。とても美味しく、食欲不振だった家族も美味
しく食べていました。

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング 日本語ガイドが海の世界へご案内<シュノーケルセット/終日>

I encountered a sea turtle! ウミガメに出会えました!

Reviewed by: としくん

I think it's better to go in the early morning. I had the 8:15 plan. By late morning, I was getting ready to leave Hanauma Bay, and it was already really crowded at that point. If you tell the guide, "I'll do my best with snorkeling!" they will take you out to the deeper water. I encountered a sea turtle out there! It was amazing.

Hanauma Bay is definitely a place you should visit, not only for the beauty of the beach from the outside but also for the abundance of fish and the chance to see turtles. Lastly, the guide gave me their business card, and I was happy to find out that I could download photos taken by the guide (including underwater shots) from the URL written on it.

参加時間帯は、早朝の方が良いかと。私は8:15のプランでした。
昼前にはハナウマ湾から帰る準備をしていましたが、その時点でだだ混みでしたよ。
ガイドさんに「シュノーケリングがんばります!」と伝えれば、沖の方へ連れて行ってくださいます。私は、沖でウミガメに出会えました!感動です。
ハナウマ湾は、外から見たビーチの美しさもさることながら、魚も多く、カメとも遭遇可能と、絶対に訪れるべきだと思います。
最後にガイドの方が名刺を渡して下さり、そこに書いてあるURLから、ガイドさんが撮影した写真(水中含む)をダウンロードできるサービスも嬉しかったです。

  • 野生のウミガメと遭遇!びっくりするとともに、とても感動しました

My parents were very happy. 両親が大変喜んでくれました

Reviewed by: ほっしー

We went individually and booked a tour with a master guide for my parents in their 60s! It was their first time snorkeling, and they were very impressed. They said the guide was very kind and that it was a fulfilling and fun experience.
They were also shown great spots and even got to see turtles. I'm really glad we signed up. Thank you very much!

私たちは個人で行き、60代の両親には、達人ガイドでツアーを申し込みました!両親は初めてのシュノーケルでしたが、大変感激してました。ガイドさんがとても親切ですごく充実して楽しかったと言ってました。
いいスポットも案内してもらい、亀も見れたみたいです。申し込んで良かったです。本当にありがとうございました。

西オアフで体験するパワースポット&シュノーケリングツアー<日本語ガイド兼インストラクター/送迎付き>

Enjoy the tranquil sea and rich nature. 静かな海と豊かな自然を満喫

Reviewed by: (A)

For my first trip to Hawaii, I chose the somewhat offbeat option of West Oahu.

I was able to enjoy snorkeling in a quiet sea with mostly locals and the beautiful greenery of nature.

I heard many interesting stories from our guide that included Hawaii's history and mythology, as well as the potential of West Oahu for the future. Since the tour included participants from various countries, as mentioned in other reviews, I was able to listen to explanations in both Japanese and English, which was also helpful for my English studies. Additionally, it was wonderful to see the guide casually picking up trash from the beach as we went along.

Although it was my first experience with snorkeling, I was able to enjoy it comfortably thanks to the thorough explanations and support. I encountered sea turtles multiple times and even swam close to the surface with them, making it a memorable experience.

初ハワイで、西オアフというマニアックな選択をしました。

観光客はほとんどいない、現地の人達ばかりの静かな海でのシュノケーリングと
緑の綺麗な大自然を満喫できました。

ハワイの歴史や神話を交えたガイドさんの説明やこれからの西オアフの可能性など
興味深い話もたくさん聞くことができました。
外国籍の方も交じってのツアーだったので、他の方の口コミにも書かれていましたが、
日本語と英語両方の説明を聞くことができ、英語の勉強にも少しなって良かったです。
また、行く先々でガイドの方が、浜辺に落ちているゴミをさりげなく拾っていかれる姿は素敵でした。

シュノーケリングは初の経験でしたが、丁寧な説明とサポートのおかげで安心して楽しむことができました。
ウミガメとも複数回遭遇し、一緒に海面近くで泳ぐこともできたりと、思い出に残る経験でした。

Thank you for your review.
West Oahu on weekdays is truly empty, so when snorkeling, you might wonder if you're really in Hawaii because the sea is so quiet during the week.

Our company specializes in snorkeling and ocean activities. We started this tour company to share the joy of the ocean with everyone, especially beginners.
I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it. I look forward to seeing you again when you come back to Hawaii someday.

Mahalo nui loa,
Akima

レビュー、ありがとうございます。
平日の西オアフは本当に人がいないのでシュノーケルなど、本当にハワイなのか?と思うくらい平日は静かな海ですね。

当社はシュノーケルと海でのアクティビティのスペシャリストです。どんな方にでも海の楽しさをしってもらおうと始めたツアー会社です。特に初心者の方の味方です。
楽しんでいただけたようでよかったです。またいつかハワイにこられたときにはお会いできるのを楽しみにしております。

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>

So much fish!! 魚がいっぱい!!

Reviewed by: ドリー

We participated as a family of three, including my fifth-grade son. It was his first time snorkeling, and he was a bit nervous, but the female guide called the day before to confirm and explained how to use the equipment in a way that was easy for children to understand, so we were able to participate with peace of mind. She held my son's hand while swimming the whole time. There was a line to watch the video before entering the ocean, but we didn't have to wait. The trolley that went back and forth on the slope was also convenient.

On the day, I borrowed a wetsuit and swam, which helped with the temperature difference and prevented sunburn. The last time I swam without a guide, I had a terrible sunburn on my back... Unfortunately, we didn't see any turtles, but the guide worked hard to find them, and we saw more types of fish than when I went individually before, so I was satisfied. My son seemed to have a lot of fun and said it felt like he was inside a fish tank! He was happy and said he wanted to participate again. Thank you very much!

The dining information about Hawaii you provided on the way back was also helpful.

小5の息子も一緒の家族3人で参加しました。子供はシュノーケリングが初めてで少し緊張していましたが、ガイドの女性が前日に確認の電話を入れてくれたり、当日子供にもわかりやすい言葉で道具の使い方を説明してくださったので、安心して参加出来ました。子供とずっと手をつないで泳いでくださいました。海に入る前に見る映像で行列が出来ていましたが、私達は並ぶ必要がなかったです。坂を往復するトロリーも楽でした。
当日急遽ウエットスーツを借りて泳いだのですが、おかげで水温の差も日焼けもなくて良かったです。以前ガイドなしで泳いだ時は、背中の日焼けが大変でしたので‥。残念ながら亀は見れなかったのですが、ガイドの女性が一生懸命探してくれましたし、以前個人で行った時より多い種類の魚が見られましたから、満足です。子供はとても楽しかったらしく、水槽の中に入ったみたいだった!また参加したいと喜んでいました。ありがとうございました♫
帰りに教えていただいたハワイの食事情報もためになりました(^^)

Thank you for participating with your whole family! I'm glad to hear that you all enjoyed your first snorkeling experience. Hanauma Bay is truly a beautiful ocean where you can swim with a variety of fish. Please come back to see the fish of Hanauma again. I hope to show you the Honu next time. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

ご家族皆様でのご参加、ありがとうございます!初めてのシュノーケリングをとても楽しんでいただけたようで私も嬉しいです。ハナウマ湾は本当に多くの種類のお魚達と一緒に泳げる綺麗な海です。また是非ハナウマのお魚達に会いに来てくださいね。次回はHonuをお見せできればと思っています。ありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
