Allen made the experience so enjoyable, and I had a great time from before entering the sea until we left. They provided mats for the beach, mineral water, and snacks, which was very thoughtful. They also kindly taught us snorkeling, and we even got to see sea turtles. I am very satisfied.
アレンさんが盛り上げてくれて、海に入る前から帰るまでずっと楽しかったです。ビーチで使うゴザやミネラルウォーターやお菓子も用意してくれていて、至れり尽くせりでした。
シュノーケリングも優しく教えてくださり、ウミガメにも会えました。大満足です。

There was only this tour available for an afternoon departure, so my friend and I participated. In the end, I'm glad we chose this one.
There were four women, including us, and our guide was Alan.
When I signed up for the tour, there was nothing mentioned about photos, so I was considering buying an underwater camera, but Alan took pictures while we were snorkeling and uploaded them to Facebook, which was great for keeping memories.
We saw two sea turtles, and even in places where we couldn't touch the bottom, he held our hands, so it wasn't scary at all. It was a tour that made me want to request it again next time I go.
午後出発がこのツアーしかなかったので友達と2人で参加しました。が、結果これにして良かったです。
お客さんは私たち含め女性4名でガイドのアランさんがお一人です。
ツアーに申し込んだ時、写真の事が何も書かれてなかったので水中用カメラを買おうかと迷いましたが、アランさんがシュノーケル中写真を撮ってくれて、フェイスブックにアップしてくれるので、思い出として残せて良かったです。
海がめは2匹も見れて、足が着かない所でも手を引いてくれるので全然怖くなかったです。次回行く時も是非お願いしようと思えるようなツアーでした。

This is a place filled with memories since I visited Hanauma Bay for my honeymoon over thirty years ago, and I was impressed that it has maintained its unchanged beauty. The snorkeling experience was greatly assisted by our Japanese-speaking guide, who took good care of us, an elderly couple with no prior experience, helping us keep up with the other participants. We were able to encounter sea turtles and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Additionally, the guide took photos underwater and on the beach, which were later uploaded to Facebook, allowing us to download them for free after returning home as a keepsake. I definitely want to participate again next time.
三十数年前に新婚旅行でハナウマ湾に行って以来の思い出の場所であり、変わらない美しさを保っているのに感激しました。シュノーケリングは、我ら未経験者の高齢者夫婦が他の参加者から遅れ気味になるのを、日本語の話せるガイドさんが、面倒をよく見てくれて大変助かりました。ウミガメと出会えたり、十分堪能しました。また、ガイドさんが水中や海辺でカメラで撮影してくれ、後日フェイスブックにアップしてあり、帰国後に無料でダウンロードでき記念になりました。是非次回も参加したい。

It was a bit more expensive than other tours, but I signed up anyway and it was definitely the right choice! We got to see three sea turtles and swim alongside them, and we were able to see them up close. Because it was low tide, we had to go out further than we would have on our own to see the turtles. I don't think we would have seen them without Alan's guidance. It was worth the price. I highly recommend it!
ほかのツアーより高いけどな〜と迷いつつ申し込んだけど大正解!
ウミガメに3匹も会えて一緒におよぎ、かなり至近距離で見れました。
引き潮で浅瀬だったためウミガメを見るために自分たちだけなら行かない沖のほうまで。
アランさんのガイドがなければ絶対にウミガメは見れなかったと思います。

It was my first time in Hawaii and my first time snorkeling, and I'm glad I went.
There were six participants and two instructors. Since it was my first time, the Japanese instructor guided me the whole way, which made me feel safe and allowed me to enjoy myself. At one point, I got seasick and had to return to shore, but the Japanese instructor stayed with me during that time.
The others seemed to have gone far out to see sea turtles and then returned.
I would actually like to give it five stars, but I missed seeing the sea turtles, and I think it would have been better with a bit more time. If there had been about 30 minutes of free time at the end (for those who wanted to snorkel wherever they liked), I would have been truly satisfied.
I want to go to Hanauma Bay again. When I do, I would like to have Alan as my guide for this tour again.
初ハワイ、初シュノーケルでしたが、行って良かったです。
参加者6人にインストラクターが2人ついてくれました。私は初めてだったのですが、日本人インストラクターの方がずっと手を引いてくれて、おかげで安心して楽しめました。途中で波酔いしてしまって、一度岸まで戻ったのですが、その時も日本人インストラクターの方が一緒についてくれました。
私以外の人達は、遠くまで行って海がめを見て帰ってきたみたいです。
本当は星5つにしたい所ですが、海がめを見損ねてしまったのと、もう少し時間があれば良かったかなと思います。最後に自由時間(行きたい人は自由に自分の好きな所でシュノーケル)が30分位あれば、本当に心から大満足と思います。
ハナウマ湾、また行きたいです。その時はまたこのツアーでアランさんのお世話になりたいです。

I participated alone, but at the last minute, an Indian couple joined, making it three of us. The young Indian woman was nervous, saying, "It's my first time entering the ocean," but the guide explained everything in a way that was easy for her to understand. It was moving to swim together while watching the sea turtles. Later, I was able to get over 100 photos from that day for free through Facebook. It's difficult to take pictures by yourself. There were also shots of me swimming. The guide was very kind and spoke Japanese very well. Hanauma Bay is a beautiful place, and thanks to the guide, we were able to see various spots. I highly recommend it.
一人参加でした。直前でインド人のカップルが追加になり3人で。インド人の若い女性は、「海に入るのは初めて」と緊張されてましたが、彼女にもわかりやすくガイドさんが教えておられました。海がめを見ながら追っていっしょに泳げたことは感動的でした。あとで当日の写真をフェイスブック経由で無料で100枚以上ゲットできました。自分で撮影は難しいです。自分が泳いでいるところも撮影されていました。大変親切な達人ガイドさんで日本語も大変お上手です。ハナウマ湾はきれいなところですが、ガイドさんのおかげでいろいろなスポットを見れました。お勧めです。

We were really lucky to have just one guide, Alan, for the two of us, which allowed us to experience everything at our own pace. After being picked up at the hotel by the Japanese-speaking Alan, he took us to the office to fit our fins. Then we moved to Hanauma Bay, where we watched a video explanation. (At this time, they distribute translation devices, so we could receive explanations in Japanese.) After that, we took a tram down the slope and left our valuables with them.
Finally, it was time to start snorkeling. I had experienced it about three times before, but it was my husband's first time, so he was a bit nervous. However, they taught us how to use the equipment properly. I’m not a good swimmer, but once I put on the life vest, I floated, and with the mask, I could breathe easily, making snorkeling enjoyable. You can wear contact lenses while using the mask, so visibility is also reassuring.
At one point, my mask loosened, and I accidentally swallowed some saltwater, which was uncomfortable, but Alan fixed it for me, and after that, we were able to continue without any issues. It might be a bit surprising, but if you follow the instructions, even those who are hesitant because they were poor swimmers in gym class can safely explore the underwater world. Alan also took photos for us, and we had a great time. My husband was also engrossed in taking pictures. Unfortunately, we didn’t see any sea turtles, but if possible, I would like to go back to Hanauma Bay and search for them. I usually don’t exercise and had some anxiety, but I want to recommend this to everyone, as it’s fine for beginners! (It’s better to stretch beforehand.) If you have long hair or bangs, it’s best to tie it up, as it can get in the way.
私たち2人に対してガイドのアランさん1人という状態なのでゆっくり自分たちのペースで体験することが出来て本当にラッキーでした。
日本語の上手なアランさんがホテルでピックアップしてくれた後に事務所(?)に連れて行ってくれてフィンのサイズなどを合わせていきます。その後ハナウマ湾に移動するのですがビデオで説明を聞きます。(この時に翻訳の機械を配っているので日本語で説明を受けることが出来ます。)その後トラムで坂道を下り、貴重品などを預かってもらいます。
そしていよいよシュノーケリング開始です。私は3回ほど体験していたのですが主人は初めてなので少し緊張。しかし器具の使い方からきちんと教えてもらえます。私はカナヅチなのですが、救命ベストを身に着けると浮きますし、呼吸もマスクを使えば出来るのでシュノーケリングが楽しく出来ます。コンタクトをつけたままマスクも出来るので視界も安心です。
途中でマスクが緩んだのか、塩水を飲んでしまい苦しかったのですが、アランさんが直してくれて、その後は問題なく再開出来ました。ちょっと驚いてしまうけれど言われたことを守れば、体育の授業でカナヅチだったから・・と敬遠している人でも、安心して水中の世界をのぞけると思います。アランさんも写真を撮ってくださり、本当に楽しかったです。主人も夢中で写真を撮っていました。ウミガメには残念ながら会えなかったのですが、もし出来るならまたハナウマ湾に行ってウミガメを探したいです。普段運動していないし不安もありましたが初心者でも大丈夫!と皆さんにお勧めしたいです。(ストレッチはした方がいいです。)髪の長い人も前髪がかかる人も邪魔になるのでとめておいた方がいいです。

The staff who are super skilled in Japanese will take you around. They will enter from a completely different place than those who come on their own and will show you the wonderful points of Hanauma Bay. I encountered a turtle inside, and it was so cute! It was my first time seeing a turtle breathe. The bay is vast, and you need to visit key spots, so I definitely recommend going with an expert rather than going on your own!

I participated with a friend. I have done this 3 to 4 times, but it was my friend's second time, so I had some anxiety. However, Alan's explanations on how to breathe, the equipment, and when to wear the fins were very clear, allowing us to snorkel comfortably and calmly. They also provide practice in shallow areas, which is reassuring. We were able to see three turtles and many fish, which was great. Since we went to quite deep places and there were areas with strong currents, it was comforting to have an expert guide with us. I thought it would be even better if we could have about an hour of free time to snorkel in the shallows.

For our 10th wedding anniversary, we planned a trip to Hawaii, and my wife booked this tour to Hanauma Bay for us.
The ocean was just beautiful!!
The weather on the day was sunny. Leading up to the day, the weather hadn't been great, and the ocean was chilly! But the stunningly clear water and the abundance of fish made us forget all that.
Our guide, Alan, was a gentleman who kindly taught us in Japanese, even though we couldn't speak any English at all, so we were able to snorkel without any worries.
He even helped us see the honu (green sea turtles), which moved both me and my wife deeply!!
We tried our best to take photos underwater ourselves, but Alan was continuously taking pictures for us and uploaded them to Facebook, so we could save them from there! He took about 110 photos during our time, so even now that we're back in Japan, we can always remember Hanauma Bay with those dynamic pictures.
There are other tours available for Hanauma Bay that might be cheaper, but considering the guide's personality, accurate advice, and aftercare, I highly recommend this tour!
Thank you for the wonderful memories!!

We participated as a family of three, with our 10-year-old son. It was all of our first time snorkeling, and we were quite anxious about swimming, but in the end, we were really glad we joined!
Alan sensed our nervousness and kindly guided us in Japanese, mixing in jokes, and he held our hands while we swam throughout the experience. Thanks to him, we were able to go to depths we would never have ventured to on our own, and we got to see beautiful fish and even two graceful sea turtles, which almost brought me to tears.
Before going, my husband had said, "Isn't this a bit expensive? Maybe we should go with a cheaper tour," but afterward, he remarked, "It was worth more than the price!" Our son, who was initially unsure about snorkeling, seemed very moved, and as soon as we returned to the hotel, he bought a cheap snorkel at ABC and went diving in the waters of Waikiki (laughs).
We are truly grateful to Alan for all his help. We definitely want to join this tour again next time. Thank you very much!

I was anxious about using the service for the first time, but it was convenient as I didn't have to go to the tour desk. I participated with a group of 8 on March 20th. I think a snorkeling instructor is necessary at Hanauma. On a previous cheap tour I participated in, I couldn't see any fish. Alan and the Japanese female staff were kind, precise, and efficient, allowing us to see a group of sea turtles and rays. I am grateful for that. There was also luggage to move, but they helped carry it. As a suggestion, it would be nice to have prescription goggles and towel rentals available. Thank you very much.

It's a bit more expensive than other Hanauma Bay tours, but I absolutely recommend the Expert tour! Our guide, Alan, was kind and fluent in Japanese.
I think you can get to Hanauma Bay on your own or through other tours, but with the Expert tour, we were able to go out to areas where no one else was swimming and circle the bay. Both my friend and I were almost beginners at snorkeling, but Alan explained everything from how to use the equipment to tips, and he always kept an eye on our pace, so we could enjoy it safely.
In this tour, we not only encountered sea turtles but also saw seals underwater!!! According to Alan, it was his first time meeting a swimming seal. He mentioned that he often sees seals lounging on the beach. We were really lucky! The seal seemed a bit surprised to see us too. Haha! The seals looked so cute, like stuffed animals swimming around.
One great thing about the Expert tour is that Alan takes photos underwater (and even on the beach)! We brought a waterproof camera, but we couldn't take good pictures at all since we're amateurs. However, Alan uploads the photos he takes underwater to Facebook, so after the tour, we can get those pictures, which is really helpful. Alan's underwater photography is truly professional!
I will definitely join the Expert Hanauma Bay tour again next time!

私も友人もシュノーケリングはほぼ初心者でしたが、使い方からコツまで丁寧に説明してくださり、ペースなども常に気にかけてくれるので安全に楽しめました。
なんと今回のツアーでは、海中でホヌだけでなくアザラシにも出会えました!!!アランさん曰く泳いでいるアザラシに出会ったのは初めてとのことです。海岸で寝ているアザラシはよく見るそうですが。本当にラッキーです!!アザラシの方も遭遇した私達に少し驚いてました。笑 アザラシ、本当にぬいぐるみが泳いでいるみたいで可愛かったです。
達人のツアーの良い点は、アランさんが海中(ビーチなどでも)で撮ってくれる写真です!私達も防水カメラ持って行きましたが、やはり素人で全然うまく撮れません。ですが、アランさんが海中で撮った写真をFacebookにアップして下さるので、ツアー参加後そこから写真をいただくことが出来、とても助かります。アランさんの海中写真、本当にプロです!
次回も達人のハナウマ湾ツアーに参加します!

For my first snorkeling experience at Hanauma Bay, I wanted to have a proper guide, so I made a reservation. There was a mix-up at first, and I ended up being about 20 minutes late to the meeting point, but the program continued as planned, and I was able to relax and enjoy the fun conversations with Allyn. I was moved when I got to see a honu up close. My husband, who has no particular hobbies and was visiting Hawaii for the first time, said, "I might want to take up snorkeling as a hobby."
Allyn also promptly sent the photos via email, and I was drawn to her personality.
初めてハナウマ湾のシュノーケリングをするにあたって、
やっぱりちゃんとしたガイドさんに付いてほしいと思って
申し込みました。最初手違いがあって、待ち合わせに
20分ほど遅刻してしまったのですが、プログラムは変更なく
楽しいAllynさんの会話にリラックスして過ごせました。
ホヌを至近距離で見れた時は感動しました。
初めてハワイに行った無趣味の夫は「シュノーケリングを
趣味にしてもいいな」と言っていました。
すぐに写真もメールで送ってくださり、Allynさんの人柄に
ひかれました。

The sandy beach was incredibly pleasant. Walking barefoot on the fine sand felt wonderful, and I just kept walking along the endless stretch of beach. The ocean was, of course, also great. On the day I went, there were moderate waves, and while I was riding the waves on a boogie board, time flew by. The pizza for lunch was also very delicious. Everything was fantastic. I had planned to go to Kailua Town if I got bored of the beach, but I didn't have time to go to town with all the time spent at the beach.
とにかく砂浜が気持ちよかった。さらさらの砂で裸足で歩くととても気持ちよく、ずーと続いている砂浜をどんどん歩いていってしまった。海ももちろんとてもよかった。行った日は適度な波があって、ブギーボードで波乗りをやっていたら、あっという間に時間が経ってしまった。昼食のピザもとてもおいしかった。すべて最高でした。ビーチが飽きたらカイルアタウンに行くつもりだったけど、ビーチだけで町に行く時間はなかった。

The tour conductor was very nice! Since it was just my mother and me on the day, we received plenty of snorkeling instruction before heading into the sea! The beautiful waters of Hanauma Bay are stunning to look at, but being in the water is amazing!! There were so many adorable tropical fish that I had never seen before. Occasionally, we also spotted larger fish. And guess what! We encountered a small sea turtle. We were able to see it just as it was coming up for air, which was a rare experience. After that, the guide pointed out a small, cute shark (not a man-eater) hiding in the rocks, which is apparently quite uncommon, so we were lucky! The guide took a lot of photos for us and shared how much they love the waters of Hawaii, making them a truly trustworthy and wonderful person. If I go again, I would definitely want to book with them. I highly recommend this experience!
ツアーコンダクターの方がとても、良い方でした!当日は母と私の二人だけだったので、たっぷりシュノーケルのレクチャーを受け、いざ海へ!ハナウマベイの美しい海は眺めるのももちろんですが、入ってからがすばらしい!!初めて見るような熱帯魚たちがいっぱいでかわいくて。大きな魚も時々います。そしてなんと!海がめ(小さい)と遭遇できました。ちょうど息継ぎをする瞬間まで見られて、貴重な体験。その後、岩の陰に小さなかわいいサメ(人食いではない)がいることを、ガイドさんが教えてくれてみれました。これはなかなかないことらしく、ラッキーです!たくさん写真も撮ってくれて、ハワイの海が大好きとお話してくれるガイドさんは、本当に信頼できる素敵な方です。次も行くなら、絶対こちらで頼みたいと思うくらいです。本当にオススメです。

On December 30th, I went on a tour to Hanauma Bay in the afternoon. I was worried that there might not be any fish or sea turtles in the afternoon, but our expert guide took us to points where we could encounter them. Although the waves were high and the conditions were not great this time, I was able to see two sea turtles up close. It was an emotional experience to see them in the water right next to me, unlike viewing them through glass at an aquarium.
12月30日午後からのツアーでハナウマ湾に行きました。午後からだと魚やウミガメ居ないかな?と心配していましたが、達人ガイドさんが会えそうなポイントまで連れて行ってくれました。今回は波が高く条件が悪かったのですが、2匹のウミガメを間近で見ることができました。水族館でガラス越しで見るのと違い、海中ですぐそばで見ることができて感動でした。

I arrived in Honolulu on the morning of November 20 and participated in a tour that afternoon. The next day was my son's wedding, so it felt like a bit of a mix between the two events, but of course, this was my first trip to Hawaii for the wedding.
I was searching for a tour at the last minute and hoped to join one the day after the wedding, but there were no openings. I really wanted to participate in this tour, and since it was available the day before, I made an immediate reservation. I had only snorkeled once a year and a half ago, borrowing equipment at a hotel in Cebu and trying it out on the hotel's private beach in shallow water. At that time, I only saw a few dark fish.
When the tide went out, I realized how limited my experience had been, and I really wanted to try snorkeling with an instructor at least once and hoped to see a honu (sea turtle), so I signed up.
Alan picked us up from the hotel on time. He spoke Japanese well and was very friendly. That day's participants included us, aged 62 and 58, and a young couple. We stopped by a shop to fit our equipment. As soon as we entered, Alan said, "Today we will dive 30 meters." What?! I was half serious about it. Maybe I was just nervous since I had just arrived in Honolulu that morning. Alan, with a friendly smile, reassured me that he was joking, sensing my tension and trying to ease it.
We arrived at Hanauma Bay and took a picture with a view of the bay. After watching a video, we headed to the beach. There was a brief explanation of how to use the equipment and how to breathe. We stored our important belongings in a large box, locked it, and secured it to a tree with a chain. After using the restroom, we headed to the sea.
We practiced a bit in the shallow water, about waist-deep, and then paired up, holding hands and following Alan. We were able to see various fish, both small and large, and I was especially happy to see a honu. The honu swam leisurely, and I thought to myself that I wanted to live life just as leisurely. Alan held my hand along the way, making it easy for me to enjoy the experience with my husband in between us. I felt completely at ease, even in deeper water, and it was fun. We wore life jackets, and with Alan around, I felt safe.
The snorkel mouthpiece was a bit uncomfortable, though. If it loosened, water would come in from the side, so I had to occasionally lift my head and adjust it. I snorkeled two more times during this trip, but I no longer felt discomfort in my mouth. I guess I was just tensing up. We swam for quite a while in Hanauma Bay, so I didn't feel too tired in the water, but once we got back on land, my legs were fatigued. However, I felt refreshed; it was a fun experience on my first day in Hawaii. Thank you, Alan. To the young couple we were with, wishing you happiness, thank you.
For beginners, you can feel assured with Alan's fluent Japanese support. You'll surely get to see a honu!
11月20日朝ホノルルに到着し、その日の昼にツアーに参加。
翌日は息子の結婚式という、どっちがメイン?みたいになってしまいましたが、もちろん結婚式のための初ハワイでしたが。
渡航ぎりぎりのツアー探しで、結婚式翌日の参加を希望しましたが空きがなく、どうしてもこのツアーに参加したくて、前日なら可能だったので即予約しました。
シュノーケリングは1年半前に一度だけ。
セブのホテルで用具だけ借りて自己流で、ホテルのプライベートビーチで岸辺近くのすぐに背が立つような場所でちょっとやっただけ。その時は黒っぽい魚を少し見られただけでした。
潮が引いてみると、こんな場所でしてたのぉ~みたいなしょぼい経験しかなく、ぜひ一度インストラクター付でしたかったのと、ホヌにぜひとも会いたかったので申込みました。
アランさんが、時間通りにホテルにお迎え、日本語も上手で、とても気さくな方でした。
その日の参加は、私達62歳と58歳、そして若いカップル一組。
ショップに立ち寄り用具合わせ。
ショップに入ってアランさんが開口一番、今日は30メートル潜ります。
えっ?!
私は半分マジになりました。
朝ホノルルに着いたばかりでそれだけ緊張していたのかも。
冗談ですよ~と気さくな笑顔のアランさん。緊張を見てとって、ほぐしてくださったのかな。
ハナウマ湾に到着。湾を一望できる所で一枚パチリ。ビデオを見てからビーチへ。
用具の使い方、呼吸の仕方などの簡単な説明、大事な荷物は大きなボックスに収納し、ボックスを施錠し木にチェーンで固定し施錠。トイレも済ませて海へ。
砂浜の、腰くらいの深さの所で少し練習し、ペアで手をつないでアランさんについていきました。
小さな魚や大きな魚などいろいろ見ることができ、何と言ってもホヌに会えたので嬉しかったですね。
ホヌはゆったりと泳いでいました。わたし達もゆったり生きていきたいですねえ。
途中アランさんが手を引いてくれて、私はダンナとサンドイッチで楽ちんでした。
深い所でも全然不安もなく、楽しかったです。救命胴衣もつけるし、アランさんもいるので安心です。
シュノーケルをくわえる口元が、少ししんどかったかな。緩むと横から水が入ってくるので、時々顔をあげてくわえ直しました。この旅行でこの後2回シュノーケリングしましたが、口元のしんどさは感じなくなりました。たぶん、余分な力が入っていたのでしょうね。
ハナウマ湾でかなりの時間泳いでいたので、海の中ではあまり感じなかったけれど、陸にあがったら足が疲れてました。
でも気分爽快、初ハワイ初日の、楽しい体験でした。
アランさん、どうもありがとう。ご一緒した若いカップルさん、お幸せに、ありがとう。
初心者の人も、日本語ペラペラのアランさんのサポートがあるので安心です。
きっとホヌに会えますよ。

I go to Hawaii every year. I have snorkeled at Hanauma Bay twice and scuba dived once. However, this time was the most fun! I was amazed at how wonderful the underwater scenery was with the guidance of an expert guide. This trip was with friends, and one of them was experiencing snorkeling for the first time. At first, she was scared and her face was tense, but as the guide held her hand, she started to smile, and by the end, she said she wanted to go snorkeling again soon. I'm grateful to the experienced and kind guide.
毎年ハワイに行っています。 ハナウマ湾にも シュノーケリング二度、スクーバー一度
の経験が有りました。 が 今回が一番楽しかった! 達人のガイドさんに案内してもらうと、こんなに素晴しい海中の様子が見られるのかと 感動しました。今回は友達旅行で、シュノーケル初体験者も一名居ました。彼女は 始め恐怖で顔を引きつらせていましたが、ガイドさんに手を引いてもらう内に 笑顔になり、終わった時は 又直にでも シュノーケリングがしたいと 言っていました。 ベテランで親切なガイドさんに感謝です。
