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>

Thank you! ありがとうございました!

Reviewed by: satomi

This was my second time in Hawaii, and I finally got to snorkel at Hanauma Bay! The beauty from my first visit left the biggest impression on me in Hawaii, and I had always wanted to dive there since then, so it was truly moving. I was taken care of by instructors Chieko and Dan☆ Unfortunately, I didn’t get to see any sea turtles, but it was a fun time that went by in a flash. I definitely want to visit again when I go to Hawaii ( ´﹀` ).

2回目のハワイで念願のハナウマベイシュノーケルでした!
初めて来た時の綺麗さがハワイで一番印象に残っていて、その時からずっと、いつか潜りたいと思っていたので本当に感動でした。
インストラクターのチエコさんとダンさんにはお世話になりました☆ウミガメにはあいにく会えませんでしたが、あっという間の楽しい一時でした。
ハワイに行く時はまた訪れたいと思います( ´﹀` )

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>

snorkel シュノーケル

Reviewed by: にこぽちこ

The sea was beautiful, and I was satisfied with the snorkeling as I could see various fish. However, it was very disappointing that I couldn't see the sea turtles that used to be visible due to the El Niño phenomenon. The guide taught us the precautions for snorkeling from scratch, so it was reassuring even for beginners. But I was so focused on keeping up with the group that I couldn't take my time to observe the fish I wanted to see. I was told that the guide would point out the fish, but they swam ahead, and I had to find them mostly on my own. I was also taking pictures of the fish with an underwater camera, but not a single photo of us was taken, and the fish in the photos were not the ones I saw, so I was particularly disappointed, especially since I was looking forward to the pictures.

海もキレイで色んな魚が見られてシュノーケル自体は満足でした。エルニーニョ現象で以前まで見られたウミガメが見られなくなったことがとても残念でした。ガイドさんはシュノーケルの注意点など一から教えてくれ、初めてでも安心です。でも先頭きって泳いで行ってしまうのを置いて行かれないようついていくのに必死で、じっくり見たい魚がいてもゆっくり見ていられませんでした。魚を見つけたら指さして合図するとのことでしたが、先々行ってしまってほぼ自分で見つけるしかなかったです。また水中カメラで魚をパシャパシャ撮っていましたが、私たちの水中写真は一枚も撮ってくれていなくて、魚も自分が見た写真ではなかったので特に感動もなく、写真も楽しみにしていただけに残念でした。

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>

Amazing! Even for first-timers, it's reassuring for valuables and wetsuits, etc. 最高!初めてでも安心 貴重品・ウェットスーツなど

Reviewed by: はわいありがとう

This was my first time snorkeling, and I was very anxious, but our guides, Chieko and Dan, were kind and made me feel very comfortable. Everyone snorkeled while wearing life jackets, so I felt secure even without swimming, which was a relief physically. This tour was the only one that promised underwater photos as a gift, and the photos were absolutely amazing!

I went in mid-November without a wetsuit. It was cold when I first entered the water, but I quickly warmed up. Everyone around me was wearing wetsuits, including our guides, Chieko and Dan, for sun protection. While having a wetsuit might be safer, it was fine without one, and I felt good. Renting one on the day was not possible.

I brought a waterproof case for valuables like my iPhone, but the guide provided a locked container for everyone to store their belongings, so I didn't end up using it. It's best to bring only the essentials, but it's safe to have tips and a mobile phone with you.

There was a changing room by the beach, and I changed before heading back.

シュノーケリングは初めて非常に不安でしたが、ガイドのちえこさん、Danが親切で非常に安心感がありました。
全員救命胴衣を付けたままシュノーケリングするので、泳がなくても勝手に浮かんでいられるので体力的にも安心でした。
水中写真のプレゼントを公言してあるのはこのツアーだけでした。
この写真が非常に素晴らしかったです!

11月中旬でウェットスーツなしでやりました。海に入った瞬間は寒かったですが、すぐに寒くなくなりました。周りの人は全員ウェットスーツつけてました。
ガイドのちえこさん、Danさんも日焼け防止につけてました。
ウェットスーツがあると無難かもしれませんが、なくても問題なくできますし、気持ちがよかったです。当日の貸し出しは不可能でした。

貴重品はiphoneなどを入れる防水ケースを持っていきましたが、ガイドさん持参の鍵付きコンテナに全員しまわせてくれるので使いませんでした。
必要最低限にすべきですが、チップ代や携帯電話などは持参しても安心です。

更衣室も海辺にあり、着替えてから帰ってきました。

I recommend it. オススメです。

Reviewed by: さこちゃん

After 20 years, I finally took a trip to Hawaii, and I decided to go snorkeling, which has been my long-time dream. The participants included three young couples who seemed to be newlyweds, all of whom had experience, while my husband and I, a middle-aged couple, had none. We were filled with anxiety, worried about being a burden since we weren't confident swimmers. After receiving thorough explanations, we entered the water, practiced breathing through our mouths with fins and masks. At that moment, my anxiety peaked! I thought, "Oh no, this might be tough," and then my husband declared, "I can't do this," and wanted to give up. His face was tense and pale as he said he just wanted to splash around in the shallow water. However, Chieko-san wouldn't let him off that easily and half-forced him to continue (laughs). My husband held my right hand and Chieko-san's left hand tightly, thinking, "It's okay to let go of my right hand, but I absolutely can't let go of my left hand," as he swam.

Unfortunately, we didn't get to see any sea turtles, but we were able to see plenty of coral, beautiful fish, and schools of fish. Chieko-san was always by our side, reassuring us that we were doing great, which allowed my husband to enjoy the experience until the end. If we had given up at that moment, we wouldn't have created such wonderful memories. The photos posted on Facebook are also so much fun! Thank you so much, Chieko-san and Dan! I highly recommend this tour.

20ン年ぶりのハワイ旅行、ずっと念願だったシュノーケルを思いきってお願いしました。参加者は、私達中年夫婦以外は、新婚さんと思われる若いカップルが3組で、皆経験あり。私達といえば、経験なしの泳ぎも自信無く、足手まといにならないか不安でいっぱい。一通りの丁寧な説明をうけ、海に入り、フィン、マスクをつけて口呼吸
の練習。この時不安は最高潮!うわ〜苦しいかも〜と思ったら、私以上に夫が「俺、だめだ」とリタイア宣言。「この辺りでチャプチャプ遊んでいたい」という夫の顔はこわばり青ざめていました。が!チエコさんはいいとは言ってくれず、半ば無理やり連れていかれました(笑)夫は右手を私、左手をチエコさんにしっかり握られ、「右はいいけど左手は絶対はなしたらアカン」と思いながら泳いでいたらしいです。
残念ながらウミガメには会えませんでしたが、サンゴや綺麗な魚、魚の群れなどをたくさん見る事ができました。チエコさんはいつもそばにいてくれて、大丈夫だよ〜上手にできてる〜と声をかけてくれていたお陰で、夫も最後まで楽しむことができました。あのとき諦めていたら、こんなに楽しい思い出にはできませんでした。フェイスブックにアップされた写真も楽しい!チエコさん、ダンさんほんとうにありがとう‼️すごくおすすめ出来るツアーです。

You can enjoy snorkeling across Hanauma Bay! It's perfect for beginners too. It's incredibly refreshing and you'll encounter beautiful fish. A U.S. guide who speaks fluent Japanese took photos underwater for us (≧∇≦). Also, you take a trolley down to the bay. Before getting on the trolley, you can take photos from a viewpoint that overlooks the bay!

West Coast Explorer - Land Tour & Beach Snorkel (from Ko Olina / Waikiki)

The best way to explore the West Side of the Island!

Reviewed by: mblock

I had such a wonderful time!

This was the best way to explore the west side of the island, and we visited so many beautiful spots off the beaten path!

Akima and Robert are really good guides and snorkel instructors. They know a lot about the island and gave us rich information about the history of Hawaii, the legends and marine life. They have maps and pictures to illustrate what they are talking about. They are also professional photographers and took many cool pictures for us, including underwater shots. The vehicle was very clean and comfortable and they were on time for pick up.

My favorite time was the snorkel, I am not a good swimmer but the guides made me feel very comfortable and safe.

I would definitely recommend Hawaii Real Nature to everyone visiting Oahu!

I have come to love the ocean! 海が大好きになりました!

Reviewed by: Aiko

The instructor named Chieko came to pick us up at the hotel. On that day, there were only three of us, including myself, so there was just one instructor. It seems that the number of instructors is adjusted based on the number of participants. By the way, the expert guide was on a long summer vacation.

On the way to Hanauma Bay, she shared various stories about the facilities and shops we could see from the car, as well as information about Hawaii!

When we arrived at Hanauma Bay, we were able to enter without waiting in line after watching a video. Although I'm not a strong swimmer, I was able to enjoy myself comfortably with the snorkeling set on. The instructor was always attentive to those at the back, adjusting the speed while keeping an eye on the participants' situations.

We encountered sea turtles and saw plenty of fish! The instructor also planned the course while considering the condition of the sea, allowing us to enjoy it safely.

The list of items to bring included "motion sickness medication." This is for both the transportation to and from the site and to prevent "seasickness."

It seems that some people may experience "seasickness," so I think it's better for those who are worried to take it. I personally tend to get motion sickness, so I took the medication and was able to swim without feeling sick until the end. My husband, who doesn't usually get motion sickness, ended up feeling seasick and had to come out early.

That night, they uploaded photos to Facebook. They shared many pictures even though we didn't bring a camera.

The sea was a beautiful color, and it was a very moving experience! I would love to request this again when I go to Hawaii.^^

chiekoさんというインストラクターの方がホテルまでお迎えに来てくださいました。
当日は私を入れて計3人と少人数でしたのでインストラクターさんはお一人でした。

持ち物のリストに「車の酔い止め」とあります。これは行き来の送迎についてもありますが
「波酔い」防止のためでもあります。

「波酔い」をする場合があるらしく、心配な方は飲んでいたほうが良いかと思います。
私は元々、乗り物酔いをするタイプですので酔い止めを飲んでいましたので最後まで酔わずに
泳ぎきることができました。
夫は乗り物酔いをしないタイプでしたが、波酔いをしてしまい、途中であがりました。

We entered smoothly despite the long line and quickly made our way to the beach. There was a brief snorkeling lecture, which was easy to understand since it was conducted in Japanese.

There were guides at the front and back. I'm not a strong swimmer, so I swam at the very back. The guide would point out beautiful fish and turtles, and kept an eye on us so we wouldn't get lost, which made me feel very secure.

The sea was very beautiful, and I got to see turtles, making it a wonderful snorkeling experience.

This was my second time snorkeling, and even though I'm not good at swimming, I was able to enjoy the tour thanks to Dan and Chieko, who paid careful attention to everyone. They also lent us rescue vests, which made it easy to float while swimming, so I highly recommend this tour for those who aren't very confident in their swimming skills. Additionally, I was thrilled to encounter a sea turtle. I think it would have been difficult to see one on my own. Dan also took photos during the tour with a high-performance camera, and he uploaded them on the same day after the tour, allowing us to download them for free. So, I recommend this tour even for those who don't have an underwater camera.

シュノーケルは2回目、水泳は苦手、という私でも、DanさんChiekoさんが皆に丁寧に目を配ってくださったこともあり、ツアーを楽しむことができました。
レスキューベストも貸してくださり楽に浮いた状態で泳げるので、水泳があまり得意でない方にはぜひこのツアーをお勧めしたいです。
また、ウミガメに遭うこともでき感激でした。
自力ではウミガメに遭うことは難しかったと思います。
また、Danさんが高性能のカメラでツアー中写真を撮ってくださっており、ツアー終了後その日のうちに写真をアップしてくれ、無料でダウンロードすることができます。

Hanauma Bay Self-Guided Snorkel Tour & Gear Rental with Hotel Transportation

Hanauma Bay Snorkel Shuttle

Reviewed by: Nan

Very disappointing. We had to decide as soon as we got off the bus what time we wanted to be picked up - 10 AM or 12 noon. Had we known how long it would take us to actually get into the water, we would have chosen noon! We were picked up at 7 AM, got to the Bay about 7:45, had to stand in line to get tickets, wait our turn to see a required film (very good actually), and then walk about 10 minutes down to the Bay, and then stand in another line to get a locker for our bags. We did not get into the water until almost 8:45, more than an hour after we had been picked up. THEN, we find our that the snorkel/mask ensemble was so inflexible that we could not get it to work properly! The mouthpiece was too rigid, would not form a tight seal and kept pulling to one side, and my husband's snorkel actually kept coming unhooked from the mask! Had we known this, we would have bought our own equipment at the ABC store for $10 and actually been able to snorkel! As it was, we spent until 9:30 trying to get the equipment to fit, and then had to head back to the bus for the 10 AM pick-up. Had the connection between the mouthpiece and the snorkel tube been accordion-like and flexible, it would have been a lot better. If you plan to go on this trip, bring your own equipment and be prepared to not get into the water right away. The Bay is beautiful and the water was wonderful, but our experience with the inflexible pick up time and equipment was not wonderful!

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>

Hanauma Bay ハナウマベイ

Reviewed by: ジャパン

The instructor was very helpful, and I had a fulfilling snorkeling experience at Hanauma Bay. I was able to encounter sea turtles, which added to my memories of this trip to Hawaii! If I have the opportunity to go again next time, I would definitely love to experience it once more! (^○^)

インストラクターの方にとても良くしていただき、とても充実したハナウマベイでのシュノーケリングになりました。
ウミガメにも出会うことができ、このハワイ旅行での思い出が増えました!
次回、また行く機会があれば是非もういちど体験したいです!(^○^)

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>

It was cold, but it was fun. 寒かった、けれど楽しかった。

Reviewed by: タカちゃん

We went to Hawaii again as a couple during Silver Week. This time, I wanted to include snorkeling at Hanauma Bay, so I booked this tour. To be honest, I initially applied for the tour "Hanauma Bay with a Certified Veteran Guide," which had many reviews and experiences, but it was not available, so I chose this tour instead. Unfortunately, it rained from the morning. During snorkeling, there was heavy rain and waves, and the sand was stirred up, making it difficult to see the fish clearly. Moreover, the approximately one hour of snorkeling was cold, and I was shivering after getting back on land.

However, I can't go against nature, so I hope to try again on a sunny day next time. I have snorkeled at several places in Honolulu, but when it comes to seeing fish, it can't compare to Guam, Saipan, or Southeast Asia's Cebu and Phuket.

Nonetheless, I think the tour was very good because the guide explained everything earnestly and assisted us well. Another highlight was that we unexpectedly got to see a honu (sea turtle).

シルバーウィークに夫婦でまたハワイに行ってきました。今回は念願のハナウマ湾のシュノーケリングを入れたかったのでこのツアーを予約しました。正直に言いまして、最初は評価も体験談も多い、「公認ベテランガイドといくハナウマ湾」のツアーを申し込みましたがリクエストNGでしたので、このツアーにしました。当時は、あいにく朝から雨。シュノーケリングの時も大雨で波もあり、砂が舞い上がっており、きれいに魚は見えませんでした。しかも約1時間のシュノーケリングは寒く、陸に上がった後は寒さで震えていました。  
でも自然には逆らえないので、今度は晴れた時に再チャレンジできたらと思います。
ホノルルでは何か所かでシュノーケリングしましたが、やはり魚を見るならば、グァム、サイパンや東南アジアのセブ島やプーケットなどには かないませんね。
でもガイドさんが一生懸命説明してアシストしてくださり、ツアーとしてはとてもよかったと思います。
また期待していなかったホヌと会えたのがよかったポイントです。

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>

First experience 初体験

Reviewed by: マハロ

We participated as a family of four (with a 2nd-year middle schooler and a 5th grader). The hotel pick-up was smooth, and we felt reassured that the American husband spoke Japanese without any issues. The two women were snorkeling for the first time, but they were kindly taught and had no problems enjoying it at all! The masks and snorkels were also the latest models and very clean. It was a bit disappointing that we didn't get to see any turtles and that the time at Hanauma Bay felt a bit rushed.

家族4人で参加しました。(中学2年・小学5年)
ホテルからの送迎もスムーズで、アメリカ人のご主人も日本語問題なく安心できました。
女性2人は初シュノーケリングでしたが、親切に教えてもらいまったく問題なく楽しめました!
マスクやシュノーケルも最新できれいでした。
亀に会えなかったのと、少し時間が短くハナウマ湾でばたばた感があったのが残念でした。

Thank you for participating in the tour. I'm sorry we couldn't show you the cute turtles at Hanauma Bay. I will do my best to make sure we can show you the Honu next time, so please come again!

Also, we offer introductory diving experiences at Hanauma Bay. Children aged 12 and older can participate, so if you're interested, I recommend diving with your kids as well!

I look forward to seeing you again. Thank you very much. Mahalo!

この度はツアーにご参加いただき、ありがとうございます。ハナウマベイのかわいいカメをお見せ出来ず、ごめんなさいね。
是非次回こそはHonuをお見せ出来るようがんばりますので、また来てくださいね!
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。12歳より参加できますので、もしよかったらお子様と一緒にダイビングもお勧めです!
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!

All-Inclusive Kailua Beach Day Experience - Lunch, Snorkel, Bike & Gear Rental

Fantastic Beach Day!

Reviewed by: Mrs. D

This was a great beach day at Kailua Beach! We were picked up by mini van right at our hotel and taken to a small plaza containing the water sports store sponsoring the activity. The people in the store were pleasant and showed us the lockers and gave us our vouchers for the included lunch. Also included was the use of boogie boards and beach chairs. The beach is a short walk from the plaza so keep in mind that you will need to carry things with you. Towels not included so be sure to bring your own! The beach itself is gorgeous and clean with that beautiful blue iridescent water! We set up shop under a tree and were happy there all day. There are facilities at the beach. While the food places were open at 10:00 AM, we chose to wait until 12:30 to eat. We opted for the pizza and drink. The pizza was the closest to true NY style we had in Hawaii...we were very impressed! It says one slice however the slice is actually a quarter of a very large pie and they cut it in two for you so it is two good sized slices! At the end of the day we headed back to the store and turned in our beach things we had borrowed and browsed the gift shop. A great day!

It was a tour where I could feel the spirit of hospitality. おもてなしの心遣いが感じられるツアーでした

Reviewed by: Yamada

This is a cozy tour guided by the friendly couple, Dan and Chieko. We participated as a group of five, from my 64-year-old mother-in-law down to our 7-year-old son. There was also another family of four, making a total of nine people on the tour. From the moment we were picked up to the time we were dropped off, we felt their constant care and attention. During the main snorkeling activity, the experienced guides ensured that everyone in the group had a great time, and they especially stayed close to my mother-in-law, allowing her to enjoy snorkeling with peace of mind. Although we didn't encounter any turtles, the hospitality we experienced made this tour feel worth more than the price we paid. I believe that snorkeling can vary depending on the weather and time of day, so you might not see everything you hope for, but I think it's worth participating.

They also manage valuables securely, which is reassuring. As others have mentioned in their experiences, they upload photos taken during the tour to Facebook, so you can get pictures without needing to bring an underwater camera.

Thank you, Dan and Chieko!

 ダンさんちえこさんの仲良し夫婦が案内してくれるアットホームなツアーです。
 上は64歳の妻の母から下は7歳の息子まで5人で参加しました。他には家族4人で参加しているグループと計9人でのツアーでした。迎えの車の中から帰りの送迎の間まで常に私たちに心遣いをしてくれていることが感じられるツアーでした。メインのシュノーケリングではベテランガイドらしくグループのすべての人たちが楽しめるよう気遣っていただき、特に妻の母にはほぼつきっきりでいてくださり安心してシュノーケリングを楽しむことができました。カメに合うことはできませんでしたが、おもてなしの心遣いが感じられることで、値段以上の価値を感じられるツアーです。シュノーケリングは天候や時間帯により見えるものは違うので思ったものが見えない可能性はあると、思いますが参加して損はないと思います。
 貴重品管理もしっかりしていて安心できます。他の人も体験談で書いておられる通り現地で撮った写真をfacebookでアップしてくれるので水中カメラを持参しなくても写真を入手できます。
 ダンさんちえこさんありがとうございました。
