This was the best part of my trip to Hawaii!
- Hanauma Bay is incredibly beautiful. I think it's the most beautiful spot on Oahu.
- The veteran guide takes you to great spots where you can see lots of fish.
- If you're not confident in swimming, the guide provides support, so you can feel at ease.
- The guide takes photos for you, and you can receive the data.
- They provide transportation to and from the hotel, which is super convenient.
I was truly fortunate to have such a great guide, and it was a fun snorkeling experience at Hanauma Bay! If I go to Hawaii again, I will definitely do this optional tour!
今回のハワイ旅行で1番良かったです!
・ハナウマ湾が綺麗すぎる
オアフで1番綺麗だと思いました
・ベテランガイドさんが良いスポットに連れて行ってくれるので魚がいっぱい
・泳ぎに自信がない方はガイドさんがサポートしてくれるから安心
・ガイドさんが写真を撮ってくれて、データでもらえる
・ホテルまで送迎してくれて楽チン
本当にガイドさんに恵まれて楽しいハナウマ湾のシュノーケルでした!またハワイに行ったら、
このオプショナルツアーは絶対します!!
Aloha! I'm so glad to hear that you had a great time!!! I think it was quite challenging that day due to the high waves from the rising tide, but you really did your best. Unfortunately, we couldn't show you the turtles, so I would love to make it up to you next time. Please join us again when you come to Hawaii! I'm looking forward to seeing you. Thank you. Chieko
Aloha !とても楽しんでいただけたようで私もうれしいです!!!あの日は満ち潮のため結構波が高くて大変だったと思いますが、本当に頑張ってくれましたよね。残念ながらカメはお見せできませんでしたので、次回はぜひリベンジさせていただきたいと思っています。ハワイにお越しの際はまたぜひ参加してくださいね!!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。ちえこ

I was a bit anxious about snorkeling for the first time, but the guide (a Japanese woman and her husband) explained everything very kindly, so I was able to relax and enjoy it. Since the guide was a veteran, I was able to encounter the sea turtles I had hoped to see, as well as many other fish. Moreover, we had gone without an underwater camera and had given up on taking underwater photos, but the guide had taken some for us, which was a great help. It was also a big plus that we could enter the parking lot without waiting. I'm really glad I found this tour (the guide). If I come to Hawaii again, I plan to request them once more!
初めてのシュノーケリングで少し不安でしたが、ガイドの方(日本人女性とその旦那様)がとても親切に説明してくれたので安心して楽しむ事が出来ました。
ベテランガイドさんという事で、期待していた海ガメにも出会えましたし他にも沢山の魚を見る事が出来ました。
しかも、今回私達は水中カメラを用意せず行ってしまい水中写真は諦めていましたが、ガイドの方が撮っていてくれたものがあり助かりました。
駐車場にも待たずに入る事が出来たのもポイント高かったです♪
本当にこのツアー(ガイドさん)に出会えて良かったです。
次にハワイへ来る事があればまたお願いしようと思っています!
Tom and Yasu, I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed meeting the sea turtles! We would love for you to join us next time for the Hanauma Bay experience diving with Blue Hawaii Divers. If the sea conditions are good, we will guide you to beautiful spots offshore! We look forward to seeing you again. Thank you!

I used this service during Golden Week, and luckily, it turned into a completely private lesson just for our group. Our guide, Chieko, was very cheerful and kind. Both of us couldn't swim and it was our first time snorkeling, so we were quite anxious, but she explained everything carefully, which made us feel safe to enter the sea. I believe that if anyone follows her instructions, they can enjoy snorkeling.
We snorkeled for about an hour, and we didn't get tired at all. It's definitely a good idea to bring an underwater camera. I think it's also fine to bring a regular camera. You can take pictures with Hanauma Bay in the background. All valuables can be placed in the guide's box, which is locked, so it's safe.
On that day, the wind was really strong, and we couldn't go out further. The water was a bit murky, but there were still plenty of fish. It's a shame we didn't get to see any sea turtles.
The photos that Chieko took with the GoPro were available for download from Facebook.
GWに利用しましたが、運よく私達のグループだけで、完全にプライベートレッスンになりました。
ガイドのちえこさんはとても明るくて優しい方でした。私達は2人とも泳げないしシュノーケリングは初めてで、不安いっぱいの中でしたが、丁寧に説明していただいて安心して海に入れました。説明いただいた通りにやれば、どんな人でも楽しくシュノーケリングできると思います。
1時間ほど続けてシュノーケリングをしましたが、全然疲れませんでした。水中カメラは絶対に持って行ったほうがいいです。普通のカメラも持って行ってもいいと思います。ハナウマベイをバックに写真をとれます。貴重品は全てガイドさんの箱の中に入れて、ロックをかけてくれるので安心です。
この日は風が本当に強くて、沖の方にでることはできませんでした。水も少し白くなってしまっていましたが、それでもたくさん魚がいました。ウミガメに会えなかったのは残念です。
ちえこさんがGo Proで撮影してくれた写真は、Facebookからダウンロードできました。
Aloha! It was a windy day, and due to the high tide, the waves were quite challenging, but I'm relieved to hear that you enjoyed it! I will do my best to show you some cute sea turtles next time, so please visit us again when you're in Hawaii. Also, we offer introductory diving experiences at Hanauma Bay, so if you're interested, please give it a try. I'm looking forward to seeing you again. Thank you! Chieko
Aloha!この日は風が強くて、満ち潮のために波も結構あってちょっと難しいコンディションでしたが、楽しんでいただけたようで安心しました!!ぜひ次回こそはかわいい海ガメをお見せできるように頑張りますので、またハワイにお越しの際はいらして下さいね。それと私達はハナウマベイでの体験ダイビングもやっていますので、興味がありましたらトライしてくださいね。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。 千恵子

We participated as a family of four: a couple with a 12-year-old boy and a 7-year-old girl. Since it was February 11, we rented wetsuits for the whole family. We started in shallow water to get a feel for things before moving to deeper areas. I think we swam quite a bit, and since our 7-year-old girl (who has snorkeling experience) was in the care of our guide, Chieko, we felt at ease. We were also able to see turtles. As mentioned, we only needed swimsuits, towels, a change of clothes, and minimal cash, which was not a problem. A camera is not necessary unless it's an underwater camera. We brought our underwater video camera, but the guide's camera took much better pictures. Our remaining cash and mobile phone were safely stored in a sturdy box, which gave us peace of mind. We had a great time, so thank you very much!
夫婦+12歳男の子+7歳女の子の家族4人で参加させていただきました。2月11日でもあり家族全員ウエットスールもレンタルしました。最初浅いところで様子を見ていただき、
深いところへ。けっこう泳いだと思いますが、7歳女の子(シュノーケル経験あり)はガイドさん(チエコさん)にお任せでしたので、安心でした。カメにも会うことができました。ご案内通り、水着とタオル、着替え、最小限の現金さえあれば問題ありませんでした。カメラも水中カメラでないならいりません。うちは水中ビデオカメラを持っていきましたが、ガイドさんのカメラの方が素晴らしい写りです。現金(残り)と携帯電話は頑丈なBOXに入れていただいたので安心でした。とても楽しめたので感謝です。ありがとうございました。

I wanted to show my wife the snorkeling experience I had at Hanauma Bay during my single days, so I participated again.
We were able to rent wetsuits on-site for a fee. The goggles and snorkels provided were not the usual worn-out ones, but rather well-maintained equipment. Thanks to that, it was a very warm and comfortable ocean adventure. I highly recommend the wetsuits.
Last time I came, I just floated in the shallow waters, but this time, our guide and instructor, Chie, who is a certified diver, took us out to deeper waters. My wife hadn't swum in a while, but since she held my hand the whole time, she was able to keep up without any issues. The fish were adorable, and I was surprised when a turtle swam right past us!
Thank you for such a dreamlike experience.
以前、独身時代に経験したハナウマ湾のシュノーケリングを奥さんにも見せたくて参加しました。
現地にてウェットスーツを有料でお借りすることが出来ました。

その御蔭でとてもあたたかく、快適な海の旅でした。スーツお勧めです。
前回来た時は浅瀬でぷかぷか浮いていたものですが、ガイド兼インストラクターのチエさんはダイビングの資格をお持ちとのことで、その経験を活かして沖合の方まで連れて行ってくださいました。奥さんは泳ぎは久しぶりだったのですが、ずっと手をつないでくれていたので、問題なくついていくことが出来ました。

The guide was fluent in Japanese, so anyone can participate with confidence. They kindly taught us how to snorkel in detail, which was very helpful. It's great that you can ask questions whenever you don't understand something. Hanauma Bay is rich in fish, and you can encounter a wide variety of them, making it feel like you're swimming in an aquarium. I was surprised that the fish didn't flee even when people were around, as it is a no-fishing zone.
This is a highly recommended tour where you can fully enjoy snorkeling!!!
I hope the coral will recover soon and that Hanauma Bay will return to its original beauty.
ガイドさんは日本語が達者なので誰でも安心して参加できます。シュノーケルのやり方を丁寧に教えてくれてとても親切でした。わからないことはすぐに聞けるのが良いです。ハナウマ湾は魚影が濃く
多種多様な魚に出会うことができ、まるで水族館の中で泳いでいるかのよう。
漁業禁止地区とのことで、人を見ても逃げない魚たちにビックリ。
シュノーケリングを存分に楽しめる、お勧めのツアーです!!!

During this honeymoon trip to Hawaii, I booked and experienced various optional tours in advance. However, honestly, many of the tours booked through travel agencies were disappointing.
Among them, the only tour I booked myself, the "Hanauma Bay Snorkeling," was extremely satisfying.
I truly realized what a veteran guide's tour should be like.
Even regarding tipping, which is not customary in Japan, I often hesitated in other tours and restaurants, but I was happy to tip Dan.
It was a truly moving tour.
I would love to request it again when I go to Hawaii.

We LOVED this day! Dan & his wife were great! They took very good care of us, even making sure that those of us with cameras got a chance to take pictures of the beautiful fish (and the 2 sea turtles we saw). They provided us with cold water and snacks after our swim, which were much appreciated. I love that Dan took many pictures of us all with his camera, and posted them to Facebook for us to see &/or download later. My husband and I are both over 60, and I think they were a little concerned whether we could handle the swimming. But they stayed nearby and checked often whether we were OK (we were!) Most of our group was Japanese, with My husband & I the only "anglos". Dan was amazing at switching from Japanese to English and back, making sure that none of us felt left out of the conversation. We would definitely recommend this activity for anyone!

I was honestly a bit anxious since it was overseas and had fewer reviews compared to other tours. We waited on the first floor of the hotel for our pickup, wondering if they would really come. However, they arrived almost on time and were friendly from the start. There were three groups of foreign tourists, and they made sure to engage with everyone equally, which was wonderful.
I saw reviews mentioning that valuables could be stored, and I thought they would be kept in the car, but instead, they were stored in a lockbox on the beach. Also, I was instructed to wear my swimsuit beforehand, so I participated in just my swimsuit from the beginning. However, being in the water for a long time can get cold, so changing clothes is definitely necessary.
While there were some minor shortcomings in the guidance, both Dan, the husband, and Chie, the wife, were very nice people, making it a tour you can enjoy with peace of mind. I think it's recommended. Even if the weather is bad or we didn't see any sea turtles, that's just nature, so it's to be expected.
海外の、しかも他のツアーに比べて口コミも少なかったところだったので正直不安でした。ホテルの1階で待機してピックアップしてもらう形でしたので、本当に来るのかなぁ…と。
ですが、ほぼ定刻通りに迎えに来てくれて、尚且つ最初から気さくに話してくれ、外国人観光客と一緒の3組だったのですがちゃんと全員にバランスよく話し掛けてくれる気の遣える素晴らしい方です。
貴重品が預けられるという口コミを見ましたが、てっきり車の中に保管するのかと思っていたら砂浜に鍵の掛かる箱に保管をしました。
あとは、事前に水着を着用しとくように指示があったので最初から水着だけで参加したのですが、ずっと水に入っていると寒くなるので、やはり着替えは必要ですね。
若干案内不足なところは否めませんが、旦那さんのダンさんと奥様のチエさん共に非常に良い人で、安心して楽しめるツアーですのでオススメだと思います。
天気が悪いとか、海ガメにあえなかったとか言ってもそれは自然が相手なのですから当然のことだと思います。

I had only done snorkeling in Okinawa before. The sea in Okinawa was beautiful, but Hanauma Bay was incomparably more stunning.
On the day of the tour, a cheerful guide came to pick us up at the meeting point. The guide spoke Japanese very well and chatted with us casually during the drive. Thanks to that, we arrived at Hanauma Bay in no time. We received a briefing on sea etiquette and swimming techniques while putting on our fins and life jackets, and then we were off to the ocean! Perhaps due to the prior briefing, we were able to move around freely! When we moved to a slightly deeper area, a school of fish appeared right in front of us! I had never seen such a school of fish before!! After that, we were informed by the guide's friend about where to find sea turtles, and we set off to search for them. We successfully spotted a sea turtle. Although we shouldn't touch them, the turtle approached us closely, perhaps because it was used to people. It was so close that I was worried we might accidentally touch it.
After thoroughly enjoying Hanauma Bay, we were given well-chilled water and Hawaiian snacks on our way back. I was very grateful for that consideration, as swimming took more energy than I expected.
Next time I go to Hawaii, I would like to request the same guide again.
これまでに沖縄でしかシュノーケリングをしたことがありませんでした.沖縄の海もきれいでしたが,ハナウマ湾は沖縄とは比べ物にならないくらいきれいでした.
当日はピックアップ場所に陽気なガイドさんが迎えに来てくれました.ガイドさんは日本語がとても上手で,移動の車内でも気さくに話しかけてくれます.おかげであっという間にハナウマ湾に到着.
足ヒレ,ライフジャケットの装着時に海でのマナー,泳ぎ方のレクチャーを受け,いざ海へ!事前レクチャーのおかげか移動も自由自在に!水深が少し深いところへ移動すると,魚の群れが目の前に!あんな魚群は初めて見ました!!その後はガイドさんの友人からウミガメがいる場所を教えてもらい,ウミガメ捜索へ.無事にウミガメを発見できました.ウミガメは触ってはいけないのですが,ヒトに慣れているせいかウミガメからグイグイ近づいてきます.触ってしまうのではないかハラハラするくらい至近距離でした.
ひとしきりハナウマ湾を満喫し,帰り際にはよく冷えた水とハワイのお菓子をいただきました.水の中は思ったより体力をつかうので,その気遣いがとてもうれしかったです.
次回ハワイに行くときはまた同じ方にガイドをお願いしたいと思います.

As someone who loves the ocean, I find that I don't have enough time to enjoy both the beach and the town together, so I make it a point to separate my days into beach days and town days.
At the beach, I can fully enjoy myself with items like mats and snorkeling sets provided. Additionally, since tour buses cannot access Lanikai, I recommend renting a bike. For just an extra $10 on this tour, you can rent a bike right there. In the morning, I had a pleasant ride to Lanikai and enjoyed snorkeling at the beach!
It seemed like it was one of those rare days with great weather, and I was able to see the ocean's colors more beautiful than ever before. The waves were almost nonexistent, and I had so much fun that I didn't want to leave the water.
In the afternoon, we returned to Kailua for lunch. You can choose between a plate lunch or pizza. We opted for the plate lunch. It was a bit disappointing that we couldn't choose from a variety of options since it was a set meal. The taste was just okay—nothing to get too excited about, although I wasn't expecting much. Considering the time it takes to think about and go buy something, it was at least passable.
In the afternoon, I relaxed and enjoyed the ocean again in Kailua until it was time to leave. I will definitely use this service again when I want to enjoy the beach. I prefer the shuttle service because I can just relax and sleep, rather than using The Bus. I think it would be nice if lunch wasn't a set meal and offered more choices.
海が大好きな私は、ビーチとタウンを一緒に楽しむには時間的に足りないので、毎回、ビーチの日、タウンの日と、分けて楽しむようにしいています。
ビーチで遊ぶには、ゴザやシュノーケルセットなどがついているので、存分に遊ぶことができます。また、ラニカイには、現在ツアーバスは入れないので、自転車がお勧めです。このツアーでも、$10プラスするだけで、その場で自転車を貸してもらえます。午前はラニカイまで心地よくツーリング&ビーチでシュノーケルを堪能!
この日は、年に数えるほどの良いお天気だったようで、これまで以上に美しい海の色を見ることができました。
波もほとんどなく、海から出ることができないくらい楽しみました。
午後は、ランチをいただきにカイルアへ戻りました。ランチは、プレートランチか、ピザ、どちらかを選べます。私たちはプレートランチにしました。セットになっているため、いろいろ選べないのが残念でした。お味も、こんなものか~。(期待はしてはいませんでしたが。。。)考えたり、買いに行く時間を考えると、ましかな?のレベルです。
午後は、カイルアで、のんびりとまた海に浸かり、時間まで楽しみました。
また、ビーチを楽しみたいときには利用します。
送迎付きは、寝ててもOKなので、ザ・バスを利用するよりも、私はすきです。
ランチはセットではなくてもいいかな?選択できたらよいと思いました。

I participated with two friends. It was my first time in Hawaii, and I only booked the flight and hotel, so I was looking for optional tours and found this one. They picked us up by car at the hotel and contacted us the day before for the pickup. Since it was just the two of us that day, they moved the tour time to the morning. Our guide was Japanese, which made it easy to talk, and I was able to hear a lot of interesting information. When we arrived at the location, we received an explanation and entered the beach. We were able to put our valuables in a box that the guide brought and lock it up, which made me feel secure. We received our snorkeling sets and headed into the ocean. They taught us how to swim and enter the water first. It was my second time snorkeling, while it was my friend's first time, so I appreciated the thorough explanation. I wasn't very good at swimming, but they adjusted the pace to match my ability, which made me feel at ease. We moved through the beautiful sea while looking for fish, and time flew by. Unfortunately, we didn't see any turtles, but I was satisfied because we saw various fish. I think it's recommended for those who are not used to snorkeling or are visiting Hanauma Bay for the first time (^_^).
友達2人と参加しました。ハワイは初めてで航空券とホテルのみとっていただけだったので、オプションツアーを探していて見つけました。ホテルまで車で迎えにきて頂き、前日にピックアップの連絡もホテルにくださいました。その日は私たち2人のみということで、ツアーの時間を前倒しして午前にしてもらえました。日本人のガイドさんだったので、話しやすく、いろいろとお話が聞けました。現地に着くと説明を受けてビーチに入りました。貴重品はガイドさんが持ってきているボックスの中に入れて、カギをかけてもらえたので安心でした。シュノーケルのセットを受取りいざ海へ。最初に泳ぎ方、入り方などを教えてもらいました。私は2回目、友達は初めてのシュノーケリングだったので、丁寧な説明がありがたかったです。私は泳ぎが苦手だったのですが、泳ぎの程度に合わせて進んでくださるので安心でした。キレイな海をお魚を探しながら進んでくのであっという間に時間がすぎました。残念ながらカメには会えませんでしたが、いろんなお魚たちが見れたので満足でした。シュノーケリングに慣れて無い方、ハナウマ湾初めての方にはオススメだと思います(^_^)

This time, I participated in the Hanauma Bay snorkeling tour with a veteran guide <snorkel mask, transportation included, Japanese guidance> with a friend! Since another group canceled at the last minute, we were able to enjoy a private experience! Our guide, Dan, was very funny and kind, and I feel like I enjoyed it ten times more than other tours (laughs). They provide everything you need, including snorkels, lifeguards, fins, and mats, so you can join with just a swimsuit! At first, I was nervous and couldn't swim well, but Dan helped me by pulling me along. It was my first time in Hawaii, and Hanauma Bay was truly beautiful; I was constantly amazed! The stunning blue sea, colorful fish, and the long-awaited sea turtles!! I got to see them come up for air right in front of me twice! So moving! They took a lot of photos, which I was able to save from Facebook! It was truly a satisfying tour! Next time, I would like to try diving!
今回、ハナウマ湾 ベテランガイド付きシュノーケリングツアー <シュノーケルマスク・送迎付き・日本語案内>に友人と二人で参加させていただきました!もう一組の方たちが急遽キャンセルということで、貸し切りで楽しめました!ガイドのダンさんがとても面白く優しい方で、他のツアーより10倍楽しめました気がします(笑)シュノーケル、ライフガード、足ひれ、ゴザ等必要な物は全て貸していただけるので、水着一枚で参加オッケーです! 最初緊張していてうまく泳げなかった時も、ダンさんが手を引っ張って泳いでくれました。初めてのハワイだったのですが、ハナウマ湾はほんっとうに綺麗で、ずっと感動しっぱなしでした!綺麗なブルーの海、色とりどりの魚、そして念願のウミガメ!!2回も目の前で息継ぎするところを見れました!感動!写真もたくさんとっていただけて、Facebookから保存出来ました!本当に大満足のツアーでした!次回はダイビングをお願いしたいです!

I used this for my honeymoon.
I was anxious because I'm not a good swimmer, but they kindly taught me, and I was able to enjoy it easily.
Above all, I had a great time thanks to Dan's fun talks. His Japanese is also very good.
I was able to see sea turtles up close, and there were so many beautiful fish that I was moved! I'm really glad I participated in this tour.
Also, Dan took a lot of pictures and uploaded them to Facebook, so I received many beautiful photos!
I heard that Dan also offers diving tours, so I think I'll try that next time! This is truly a recommended activity!
ハネムーンで利用しました。
私は泳ぎが得意でないので不安でしたが、すごく親切に教えて頂き、簡単に楽しむことが出来ました。
何より、ダンさんの楽しいトークでとても楽しい時間が過ごせました。
日本語もとっても上手です。
ウミガメも間近で見られたし、綺麗なお魚がたくさんいて感動しました!
このツアーに参加して本当に良かったです。
また、ダンさんさんがたくさん写真を撮ってくれてfacebookにアップしてくれるので、綺麗な写真がたくさん貰えます!
ダンさんはダイビングのツアーもやっているそうなので、次はそちらに挑戦してみようと思います!
本当にオススメのアクティビティです!

The tour guide, Mr. Dann, who has a Japanese wife, speaks fluent Japanese. Usually, there are about 4 to 8 people on the tour, but on the day we participated, it was just the two of us. After enjoying the beautiful sea on the Big Island, I honestly didn't have high expectations for Honolulu (sorry, Mr. Dann), but we were able to see turtles and were very satisfied. It was a bit scary for amateurs to keep swimming, but we were guided a little further out and could fully enjoy the ocean.
We swam for about an hour on our own, but for those who are not confident in their swimming skills, Dann will pull you along. The visibility on the day we went wasn't great, but I recommend it for anyone wanting to see beautiful waters in Honolulu. The package includes round-trip tickets to the beach, a snorkeling set, snacks, water, a mat, and management of valuables. Above all, you can download the photos taken with a GoPro for free on Facebook, so you don't need to bring a camera.
During the car ride to and from the location, he shared recommendations for delicious restaurants and other spots in Honolulu. Even if you can't swim, it's much prettier than Waikiki Beach, and just relaxing there is worth it! ☆
ツアコンは日本人の奥さんがいるMr.Dann、日本語ペラペラです。
いつもは4〜8人程いるそうですが、参加日は我々2人のみでした。
ハワイ島で綺麗な海を満喫したあとのホノルルでしたので、正直期待していませんでしたが(Mr.Dannごめんなさい)、カメにも会えましたし大満足でした。素人では泳ぎ続けるには怖い、少し沖の方まで案内してもらい海を満喫できました。
私達は自力で1時間程泳ぎましたが、泳ぎに自信のない方は、ダンが引っ張っていってくれるそうです。
行った日は透明度はイマイチでしたが、ホノルルで綺麗な海に行きたい方にはオススメです。
入口-海の往復乗車券、シュノーケルセット、お菓子、水、ゴザ、貴重品管理をしてくれます。なにより、GoProで撮影した写真を、Facebookで無料でダウンロードできるので、カメラも必要ありません。
行き帰りの車の中で、美味しいお店の話やその他ホノルルのオススメスポットを教えてくださいました。
泳げなくても、ワイキキビーチよりとても綺麗でぼーっとするだけでも価値ありです☆
