Hanauma Bay Snorkel Tour with Expert Guide & Waikiki Transportation

Great time at Hanauma Bay

Reviewed by: Gaia

Amazing experience! Dan is very funny and nice, a great guide. Everything was perfectly organized, in every detail. Hanauma Bay is truly spectacular, Dan guided us in a long route in the bay. It was great, we saw a lot of fishes, and Dan took plenty of pics (much better than mine!). He was most helpful also during the trip to Hanauma Bay! A must-do when in Honolulu!

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＞

Meeting a honu would be perfect. ホヌに会えれば満点

Reviewed by: KAMACHAN

My long-awaited visit to Hanauma Bay. We were blessed with beautiful weather, and the sunlight streaming into the water made it incredibly clear. There were so many fish swimming around. All that was left was to encounter a honu (sea turtle), but unfortunately, we missed out on that.

From the hotel pickup, everything went smoothly thanks to Chieko-san's assistance. If we had gone on our own, I think we would have struggled with the entry process, watching the pre-entrance video, and taking the tram. Most importantly, the guide adjusted the course based on the participants' conditions. The hour flew by.

Even with my 50-year-old stamina, I managed to last the hour. For my daughter, who has swimming experience (6th grade), it was a piece of cake. However, the father of the American family accompanying us seemed to lack stamina and got out shortly after we started snorkeling.

After we finished, they provided water and snacks, and I was very grateful for their thoughtful attention. The male guide leading us took many photos for us. It’s okay if you don’t have an underwater camera; you can download the photos later, so you can keep those memories.

　念願であったハナウマ湾。晴天に恵まれ、光の差し込む海中がとてもきれいでした。魚は、これでもかというほどたくさんいます。あとはホヌとの遭遇です。私たちは、運悪くダメでした。
　ホテルのピックアップから、チエコさんのお世話で、段取りよく進みます。個人で行くと、入場のあと、事前のビデオを見たり、トラムに乗ったりと結構手間取っていたと思います。何よりガイドが、参加者の様子を見ながら、コースを決めてくれます。１時間、あっという間でした。
　５０歳のおじさん（私）の体力でも、１時間なんとかもちました。スイミング経験者である娘（小６）にとっては楽勝です。ただ、同行のアメリカ人家族のお父さんは体力不足のためか、シュノーケル開始後すぐに上がってしまいました。
　上がった後は、水やおやつを出してくれて、細やかな気配りに、感謝するばかりです。先導する男性ガイドが、何度も写真を撮ってくれました。水中カメラを持っていなくてもOKです。後日、ダウンロードできるので、思い出が残せます。

Hanauma Bay was very beautiful! Dan and Chieko were friendly and easy to talk to, and they provided very thorough explanations for snorkeling! The equipment we borrowed was also clean, which made us feel safe. The fish were colorful and we could see them up close; although we didn't see any turtles, we did get to see a very large moray eel, which was fun! I didn't bring an underwater camera, but I was very happy to receive the photos Dan took from Facebook as a nice service! When I go to Hawaii again, I want to visit Hanauma Bay! I would love to join your tour again at that time! Thank you so much, Dan and Chieko!

Everything is taken care of. 至れり尽くせり

Reviewed by: のぶひろ

I participated with my sixth-grade son. During the journey from the hotel, the staff member Chieko shared information about Hawaii and engaged us in conversation, creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. Since it was a relatively small group, we were able to maintain a good distance with others and took photos of each other. Once we arrived at Hanauma Bay, we were smoothly guided to the beach without any hassle (it might be quite confusing if you come on your own). They carefully explained how to use the equipment and how to wear the life jackets. On the day we went (August 10), the waves were high, and I felt that wearing a life jacket was essential. Even underwater, they frequently checked in on us, which was reassuring. Unfortunately, we couldn't see any sea turtles, but we were able to see many fish up close, which was very satisfying. I highly recommend this for anyone planning to snorkel in Hawaii, especially beginners. The photos taken underwater can also be viewed online, making for great memories.

小学六年の息子と二人で参加しました。ホテルからの道中では、スタッフのちえこさんがハワイの情報を教えてくださったり、話題をふってくださったりして、和やかな雰囲気で楽しめました。比較的少人数のため、他の方たちともいい距離感でお互いに写真をとりあったりしました。ハナウマ湾に着いてからも段取りよくスムーズに海辺まで案内して頂けました（個人で来ると結構戸惑うかもしれません）。道具の使い方やライフジャケットの着用の仕方も丁寧に教えていただきました。行った日（８月１０日）は、波が高くライフジャケットは必須だと感じました。水中でも、度々、声かけをしてくださり安心できました。海がめは残念ながら見ることができませんでしたが、たくさんの魚を間近でみることができ、大変満足できました。ハワイでシュノーケルをする予定の方、初心者の方にはとってもおすすめです。水中でとってもらった写真もネットで見ることができ、よき思い出になりました。

Reviewed by: AKK

Thank you, Chieko and Dan!
It was a reassuring tour with guidance in Japanese.

We had a fun snorkeling experience with a British family, an Indian family, a Japanese family, and our couple.

Unfortunately, on that day, due to low tide, the turtles couldn't come into the bay, so we didn't get to see any sea turtles.

To be honest, my expectation was a bit too high, and I felt like saying, "Hmm, is this it...?"
As for the fish... well, I could see them, but just barely.

However, I am very satisfied to say, "I went snorkeling at Hanauma Bay in Hawaii!" (laughs)

This is something that depends on the tides and conditions.

It had quite an international atmosphere, but I enjoyed the tour with solid guidance in Japanese.

I was fine, but he seemed to experience symptoms like motion sickness while snorkeling. Also, although the weather was great, the water temperature felt unexpectedly low, and it was quite cold.
I recommend that those going take precautions.

Next time, I definitely want to join your diving tour.

I'll be going to Hawaii again!

チエコさん、ダンさん、お世話になりました！
日本語で案内していただけて、安心なツアーでした。

イギリス人親子、インド系ご家族、日本人ご家族、私達カップルのツアーで、楽しくシュノーケリングしました。

この日はあいにく引潮でカメさんが湾に入って来れず、海亀さんには会えませんでした。

期待が大き過ぎた分、「うーん、こんなものか〜…。。。」というのが正直な感想。
お魚も…あ〜見えた見えた、くらいかな？

でも「私、Hawaiiのハナウマ湾でシュノーケリングをしたよ！」ということで大満足です（笑）

こればっかりは潮の満ち引きやら条件がありますものね。

なかなかインターナショナルな雰囲気で、でもしっかり日本語で案内していただき、楽しかったです。

私は平気だったのですが、彼がシュノーケリングで乗り物酔いのような症状になったようです。
あと、すごくお天気は良かったのですが、思いの外水温が低く感じられて、すごく寒かったです。
行かれる方は対策をしていく事をお勧めします。

今度はご夫妻のダイビングツアーに是非参加したいです。

I had little experience with snorkeling, but once I put on the fins, my worries quickly disappeared. With Dan in the red hat leading the way and Chie watching over us at the back, I felt safe swimming. They helped push me through the waves when I was struggling to move forward. I was able to see not only turtles but also a variety of colorful fish, and even an eel! The hour passed by in no time, and I wished I could have stayed in the water a bit longer. Thank you for such a fun experience!

I participated in the morning course. The instructors are very attentive, so even beginners can feel at ease. I don't have much stamina, so I got tired early on, but thanks to our guide Dan, who helped me and encouraged me multiple times, I was able to stay with the other participants until the end. Hanauma Bay has a lot of fish swimming around, and you can see them up close. I was able to see three sea turtles, which was very moving. Since it had been a while since I swam, I was completely exhausted by the time I returned to the hotel, and I regret not being able to properly thank Dan. I would definitely like to participate again when I go to Hawaii. Thank you, Dan!

We actually went pretty far out and Dan was besides us and checking on us to make sure we were ok. He was prepared with good equipment, got us through the Haunauma Bay entry easily, and took us on a wonderful swim with loads of fish to see. I would do this snorkeling tour again.

Reviewed by: くりこ

In late December, I participated in a snorkeling tour at Hanauma Bay. It was my first time snorkeling, and since my 7-year-old son was with me, I felt like I might have been a bit of a hassle for the instructor, but thanks to them, we were able to enjoy snorkeling. That day, I was suffering from severe jet lag and was incredibly sleepy, so in the end, I didn't join the tour and played in the sand with my child on the beach. I think it's better to go after you've adjusted to the time difference, as it requires quite a bit of physical energy. On the way back on the trolley, I spoke with the person sitting next to me, and they mentioned that around December, if the weather is good, it's not too hot, making it perfect for snorkeling. However, the instructor said that during that time, the weather can be unpredictable, and just last week, they were shivering while getting into the water. We were fortunate to have good weather.

12月下旬、ハナウマ湾シュノーケルツアーに参加しました。シュノーケルも初めてで、7歳の息子も一緒だったため、インストラクターの方には迷惑をお掛けしたかと思いますが、おかげでシュノーケルを楽しむことができました。その日は、時差ボケがひどく、眠くてしょうがなかったため、最後はツアーには行かず、浜で子供と砂遊びをしていました。かなり体力を使うので、到着して時差にも慣れた頃に行ったほうがいいと思います。帰りのトローリーで、となりに座った方と話しましたが、12月ごろは天気が良ければ、暑すぎないのでシュノーケル日和だとのことでした。ただ、その時期は天候に恵まれないこともあって、先週は震えながら水に入っていましたよとインストラクターの方はおしゃってました。天候に恵まれて、良かったです。

As expected from Hanauma Bay, where regulations are well established, the number of fish was incredible. I've snorkeled several times in the beautiful waters of Okinawa, but it doesn't compare. Hanauma Bay is full of colorful fish whose names I don't know, including the Yagara. Unfortunately, I didn't encounter any sea turtles, but it's definitely a place I want to visit again. I hope to go before I get too old. Since I'm not very good at English, I really appreciated the guidance in Japanese. It allowed me to focus on observing the fish with peace of mind.

さすが規制がきちっと整っているハナウマ湾なだけあってお魚の数がはんぱではなかった。

Reviewed by: Sigg

Unfortunately, the expert was on summer vacation, and other individuals (mainly scuba diving instructors) took over. On the day of the tour, the low tide caused the coral to be exposed above the water's surface. We were able to see some fish, but we did not observe any sea turtles. I appreciated the thorough explanations and attentiveness throughout the experience.

By the way, thanks to this tour, we were able to enter in an instant, but if you try to line up normally, it can be quite a hassle. Even if you don't choose this option, I think it's better to go with a tour.

残念ながら達人はサマーバケーション中で別の方々（主にスクーバダイビングのインストラクター）が担当してくださいました。
当日は干潮のせいで、サンゴが海面から出てしまうほどでした。
魚はいくらかは確認できましたが、ウミガメは観察できませんでした。
終始丁寧な説明と気配りをしていただけて良かったと思います。

ちなみに入場まではこのツアーのおかげで一瞬で入れましたが、普通に並ぼうとすると大変なことになりますので、これを選ばないにしてもツアーで行った方が良いかと思います。

Reviewed by: Katie Morales

We loved snorkeling at Hanauma Bay! We could see fish all around us in waist-deep water, and even though it was busy, there was plenty of space to have our own experience. The food in the snack bar was good (although a little pricey), and I liked that we could rent life jackets and stoppers for our snorkels from the company once we got there. Just make sure you bring extra money for the entrance fee, tram (it saves a lot of uphill walking), equipment rental, and food. You can also bring food on the beach, so pack some snacks and water to save some cash.

We participated as a couple in the afternoon. There were also two girls, making a total of four people, and our guide was a Japanese woman. (I later heard that "master" Alan was not in Hawaii at the time and that he was replaced by another tour guide.)

From the hotel pickup to Hanauma, our guide shared information about the Waikiki area along the way, providing a smooth and reassuring experience. After arriving at Hanauma Bay, we watched an environmental protection video and took a tram to the beach.

We were lent snorkeling gear, fins, and life jackets, and they kindly explained how to use them. (Actually, the day before, I had gone on a completely different optional tour where there was no rental of fins or explanation of precautions, and my husband injured his foot on the rocky seabed, so this was very reassuring.)

Once we started snorkeling, we swam almost from one end of the bay to the other, guided by our tour guide. Along the way, we encountered a honu at a spot where they are often seen! I heard that earlier that same morning, they hadn’t seen any honu, so we were lucky. We enjoyed the beautiful sea of Hanauma while watching various fish and corals, and I truly felt it was great to participate.

The guide maintained a comfortable distance, and overall, I was very satisfied. It was a tour that made me want to come back to Hanauma Bay again. Thank you very much.

夫婦で午後から参加しました。ほかには、女の子二人組の計４名で、日本人女性のガイドさんでした。(あとで聞いたところ、「達人」のアランさんはちょうどハワイにいなかったそうで、代わりにツアーガイドをされているとのことでした)

ホテルでのピックアップから、ハナウマまでの道のりでは、ワイキキ周辺の情報を所々でお話してくださり、スムーズなガイドで安心感がありました。ハナウマ湾に到着後は、環境保護のビデオを見て、トラムに乗ってビーチへ。

シュノーケルとフィン、ライフジャケットを貸していただき、その使い方まで丁寧に教えてくれました。(実は、前日に全く別のオプショナルツアーでも、シュノーケリングをしたのですがフィンの貸出や注意事項の説明がなく、夫が海の岩場で足裏をケガしていたので、心強かったです。)

シュノーケリング開始してからは、ガイドさんに誘導されながら、湾のほぼ端から端までを全員で泳ぎました。その途中、よくいるというスポットでホヌに遭遇！同じ日の午前中は、ホヌに会えなかったそうで、ラッキーでした。ほかにも様々なお魚と珊瑚を眺めながら、ハナウマのきれいな海を満喫できて、参加できて本当に良かったと思います。

ガイドさんの距離感もほどよく、総合的にとても満足できました。またハナウマ湾に来たいなと思えるツアーでした。ありがとうございました。

Dan and his wife were great! We had two cars because we were a party of 7. Dan was my driver and he was very good at giving us a mini tour as we were driving to Haunama Bay. Once we arrived, we didn't have to stand in line at all. We went into a mini theater to watch a 9 min video orientation. Then we were off. We went down to Hanauma Bay via a trolly. He and his wife explained how to use our gear and made sure it was all on properly. We all had a great time. This was definitely a fun activity to do as a family. The underwater views were amazing. If you don't have a waterproof camera, its fine. Dan takes a bunch of pictures and uploads them on to his website/facebook page and gives you the link, so you can view them. Don't worry if you don't know how to swim, we had a couple people in our party who didn't know how to and they were just fine. Dan, thank you. We will definitely choose you again! :) -Mahalo!
