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!
小学生の娘と2人だけの参加でした。
旅行会社のツアーでなかったこともあり、催行会社は大丈夫か?と緊張していましたが、ガイドさんはとても気さくな日本人女性の方。
おしゃべりもとても楽しく、ハワイの美味しいレストランなんかも教えてもらったりしながらだったので、緊張も解け、シュノーケルも心から楽しむことができました。
後から写真を見たら、かなりの曇り空だったことにびっくり!
ガイドさんのおかげでたくさんのきれいな魚たちが見れたので、曇りなんて頭になかったです(笑)
撮ってくださった写真もフェイスブックを通じて無料でもらうことができるので、嬉しかったですよ。
こちらのツアーでお願いして、本当に良かった!
次回以降もまたぜひこちらにお願いしようと思っています!

We were able to have a tour just for the two of us. The beautiful sea and the fish that not only didn't swim away but actually came closer. We also had a photoshoot underwater, and I was really satisfied.

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!!
Warm Aloha Maritza,
Your reservation was reconfirmed with the activity provider the day before so we were surprised to hear that you were not picked up as scheduled. We are not sure where the mishap occurred but have spoken to them to prevent this from reoccurring in the future. We hope had a wonderful time with the alternative activity we booked you on.

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。

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。

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.
家族4人で参加しました。ワイキキのビーチの海が個人的にイマイチだと
思っているので、奇麗な海を求めて、このツアーに参加しました。
カイルアビーチも奇麗でしたが、少し離れたラニカイビーチにも娘と歩いて
行きました。(自転車でなくても徒歩で余裕で往復出来ます)
ラニカイビーチは、カイルアビーチより若干奇麗なのかなという感じですが

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。

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.

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。

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.

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!!

Despite the many visitors to Hawaii, not many people talk about West Oahu. The reason isn't a lack of charm, but rather the limited number of tours available.
"I want to go, but I'm a bit anxious. I'm already tired of the typical tours!" This tour's greatest appeal is that it caters to those who seek something different. You can receive valuable local insights from a friendly and wonderful guide that you won't find in books.
If you're looking for a unique experience in Hawaii (though I really don't want to share this...), I highly recommend giving it a try!
こんなにもハワイに訪れる人がいるのに、西オアフを語る人はなぜか多くはありません。その理由は魅力がないのではなく、ツアー自体があまりないからでした。。
「行きたいけどチョット不安。でもありきたりのツアーにはもう飽き飽き!」そんな通な人のかゆい所に手が届くのがこのツアーの最大の魅力です。気さくで素敵なガイドさんから、本にはない貴重な現地の情報が沢山もらえます。
今までとは一味違ったハワイをお求めの方(本当は教えたくないですが…)、ぜひいちど体験してみてください!
Thank you for finding this tour in West Oahu that no one goes to!
Actually, I don't want to share it either, but I want people to know that there is this side of Hawaii!
In addition to Waikiki and the tourist-filled areas of Oahu, there are still places where the spirit of Hawaii remains. I want to continue offering tours while protecting these areas.

It was both me and my friends first time kayaking in the ocean and I was a little nervous but as soon as I got there I was greeted by a very friendly staff!

He was very patient, knowledgable, taught us some history about Kailua and most of all he made us feel safe! :) PO was an AMAZING kayaking guide!!! I would totally recommend this activity to anyone who wants to get away from the crowed beaches like in Waikiki. Most beautiful beach in Oahu in my opinion. Forgot to mention the lunch it included was super yummy!

I signed up because it was said to be a clear beach, but due to the approaching hurricane, there were winds and waves, and I couldn't enjoy the snorkeling I was looking forward to. It was disappointing that the weather wasn't favorable, with heavy rain at times. However, I rented a bike and went out shopping and to Lanikai Beach with my child. The bike rental is $10 (credit cards accepted). Since we extended our trip to Lanikai Beach, we didn't have much time to relax on the way back. If you're planning to snorkel, I think Kailua Beach would be a better option to enjoy it more leisurely.
澄み渡ったビーチだということで申し込んだのですがハリケーン接近中のため風・波があり楽しみにしていたシュノーケリングができませんでした。
一時大雨になったりと天候には恵まれず残念でしたが
自転車を借りて子供とふたりラ二カイビーチやショッピングに出かけました。
自転車は$10でレンタル(カードOK)できます。
ラ二カイビーチまで足を延ばすと帰り時間ぎりぎりでゆっくりできなかったので
シュノーケルするのであればカイルアビーチだけのほうがゆっくりできると思います。

Excellent pair of guides with a small group of us to work with. I had never snorkeled before and had no trouble following the instructions. It didn't matter that I was not an experienced swimmer. Sure makes a difference getting past the lineup to get in because of being part of a group. I recommend aiming for low tide if you have a choice.

I participated with a friend.
There were a total of 9 participants (4 Japanese). Surprisingly, there were many foreign participants.
The tour was led by a Japanese guide and a local driver who also served as a guide. Both of them were cheerful and articulate, which was very pleasant.
Since the western side is relatively less safe, it's better to join a tour rather than go individually.
We picked up lunch at a supermarket and the driver stopped the car multiple times at scenic viewpoints, sharing historical stories, information about plants, and local legends. I think those looking for a Hawaii experience beyond the guidebook would be very satisfied.
It was my first time snorkeling, but they taught me gently. (Both guides have qualifications as instructors and lifeguards, so I felt safe.) I was satisfied to see many sea turtles and beautiful fish.
I thought the price was a bit high, but if you're hesitating, I recommend participating.
友人と二人で参加しました。
参加者は全部で9人(日本人4人)
意外と外国の参加者が多くいらっしゃいました。
ツアーは日本人ガイドさんと現地?の運転手さん兼ガイドさんの二人で行ってくださいました。お二人とも明るくハキハキしていて気持ちが良かったです。
西側は比較的治安がよくないため個人で行くよりツアー参加した方が◎
スーパーで昼食を調達したり現地の眺望ポイントで何度も車を停めて下さり、歴史的な話、植物についての話、その地に伝わる伝説など教えてくださったりとガイドブック以外のハワイをお求めの方には大満足なのではないかと思います。
シュノーケリングは初めてでしたが優しく教えていただきました。(ガイドのお二人共インストラクターやライフセーバーなど資格を持っているそうですので安心かと思います。)
ウミガメや美しい魚を多く見ることができて満足でした。
料金は気持ち高め?とも思いましたが迷っているならば参加することをおすすめいたします。
Thank you for your review.
Since West Oahu is still a lesser-known area, I believe you were able to experience the rich local culture of Oahu Island.
Regarding the pricing, our company operates on a small group basis (up to 9 people), so when compared to large buses or bigger tour companies, the cost per person inevitably becomes higher.
However, the small group size allows for a more personalized experience, such as snorkeling, where we can pay attention to each individual. I think this creates a tour experience that you wouldn't find in larger bus tours.
I would appreciate it if you could take this into consideration when thinking about the pricing.

レビュー、ありがとうございます。
西オアフはまだまだ知られていない場所なので、ローカル色がとても濃いオアフ島を見ていただけたかと思います。
料金ですが、当社は少人数制(9人まで)としておりますので大型バスや大きなツアー会社さんと比較されてしまいますとどうしても一人ひとりのお値段が高くなってしまいます。
少人数だから出来ること、シュノーケルなども一人ひとりに目が行き届く範囲の人数設定となっておりますので、大人数のバスツアーでは体験できないようなツアーになっているかと思います。
その辺を考慮して料金のことを考えていただければ幸いです。

I signed up for the early morning plan this time. The instructors were both Japanese and foreign, but they spoke Japanese fluently and had the hospitality typical of Japan, making the snorkeling experience very enjoyable.
They were also kind in guiding those who are not good at swimming.
Hanauma Bay can be accessed if you plan it yourself, but during busy times, joining a plan like this makes it relatively easier to enter, so I highly recommend it.
今回朝一のプランに申し込みました。
日本人の方と、外国の方が先生でしたが、日本語ぺらぺらでしたし、日本のホスピタリティも持ち合わせていらっしゃるのでとても楽しくシュノーケルが出来ました。
泳ぎが苦手な方にも親切に指導していらしてました。
ハナウマ湾は自身でも計画さえすれば入れるところですが、混む時期はこのようなプランに入れば比較的楽に入場できるので大変おすすめです。
Thank you for choosing our tour from among many options. Currently, summer vacation has started, and there are long lines every day to purchase entrance tickets at Hanauma Bay. However, as you mentioned, our tour customers do not need to wait in this line, allowing for smooth entry and a hassle-free experience.
We hope you will join our tour again when you visit Hawaii. We look forward to seeing you.
Thank you. Mahalo!!
この度は数あるツアーの中より私達のツアーをお選びいただき、ありがとうございます。今現在は夏休みに突入し、ハナウマ湾では入場チケット購入のために毎日長蛇の列が出来ています。ですが、さなさなぽぽんさんのおっしゃる通り、私達のツアーのお客様はこの列に並ぶ必要がありませんので、スムーズに入場できて楽チンなんです。
またハワイにお越しの際にはまた私達のツアーにご参加くださいね。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。Mahalo!!

I went to Hawaii for my sister's wedding, and since my parents are at an age where snorkeling is tough for them, I participated alone. However, since the instructor was always with the participants, I had a very fulfilling experience even by myself! There were also families with small children, so I think even little ones can have a lot of fun!
今回姉の結婚式でハワイに行き、両親は年齢的にもシュノーケリングは厳しいということで、1人で参加したのですが、常にインストラクターの方と参加者で回っているので、1人でもとても充実した体験ができました!家族連れの方もいたので、小さいお子さんでもとても楽しめると思います!!
Thank you for joining our tour. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed it. We will continue to work hard to ensure satisfaction for both individuals and families! We look forward to seeing you again when you visit Hawaii. Thank you. Mahalo!!
この度は私達のツアーにご参加いただき、ありがとうございます。とても楽しんでいただけた様で良かったです。お一人の方でもファミリーの方にもご満足していただけます様にこれからも頑張ります!!またハワイにお越しの際にはお会いできますことを楽しみにしております。ありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
