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

Good experiencia, with One weird thing

Reviewed by: Charly

The Bay itself is amazing.
Hotel pickup and drop off was on time. Everyone very Nice and polite.

The One thing i didint like was that they ask You for You to bring cash to pay for the entrance. And give your money to another guest, and ask Himmler to pay for the whole party. Is confusing and weird. Specially after finding Out that at the entrance the DO accept cards.

カイルアビーチ送迎シャトルサービス 嬉しい5時間滞在!ビーチグッズなど各種レンタル付き<日本語スタッフ/ランチ付>

The pick-up service and the on-site guide were absolutely fantastic! 送迎から現地のガイドまで手取り足取りしていただいて最高でした!!!

Reviewed by: すず

When we were planning our honeymoon trip to Oahu, my parents discouraged us from using a rental car, and I felt a bit sad thinking, "Oh, we can only sightsee around Waikiki..." While trying to find a way to enjoy areas outside of Waikiki on our own, I came across this tour!!

Since I can't speak any English and couldn't use a rental car, having a shuttle service with Japanese-speaking staff was truly reassuring ( ; ; ) Ai and Natsue kindly guided us to local recommended spots like snorkeling points and shopping areas, and Tomo, who provided the shuttle service, was very friendly. His speaking to us in Japanese made us feel at ease right from the moment he picked us up (><).

We were blessed with great weather, and both Kailua and Lanikai had stunning views, making for an exciting snorkeling experience with my husband!! I highly recommend this tour to everyone ⭐︎ Thank you so much!!!

新婚旅行でオアフ島に行く計画をしていたとき、レンタカーでの行動を両親に止められてしまい「あ〜、ワイキキ周辺しか観光できないのか...」と寂しい気持ちになっていました。
どうにか自分たちの足でワイキキ以外の地域も堪能できないかと調べていた時に、このツアーを見つけました!!
英語が全く話せず、レンタカーも使えないため、送迎付きで日本語スタッフの方に対応いただけたのは、本当に心強くて安心でした( ; ; )
あいさん、なつえさんがシュノーケルポイントやショッピングできる場所など現地のおすすめスポットをとても丁寧に案内してくださり、送迎してくださったトモさんも気さくで、日本語で声をかけてくださったおかげでお迎えの時点からとても安心感がありました(><)
天気にも恵まれて、カイルアもラニカイも景色がとても綺麗で夫と興奮しながらシュノーケリングしました!!このツアーはみなさんにおすすめしたいです⭐︎

Reviewed by: Koko

The tour with Dan and Chieko, who are well-versed in Hanauma Bay, was fantastic. They guided us through a great course that matched the day's sea conditions. Even as someone who isn't confident in swimming, I received kind support and was able to enjoy it safely. The bay's conditions were good, and I was able to see many beautiful fish and sea turtles! I definitely want to participate again when I visit Oahu!

[Discontent] I have not been able to contact anyone after the tour. 【不満】ツアー後は一切連絡が取れません

Reviewed by: モアナ

I didn't encounter any sea turtles at Hanauma Bay, but I did see the state fish. However, half of the one-hour swim was spent searching for sea turtles in an area where there weren't many fish, so there wasn't much time to enjoy watching the fish.

Additionally, after the tour, photos are uploaded to Facebook the same day, but ours were missing. There seemed to be some confusion during the tour regarding the number of participants (was it 8 or 10?), which raised concerns about their awareness. I also received no response when I inquired about it.

Even though I tipped generously, I felt that this tour company was dishonest, as they provided no support after payment. If I receive a response, I will revise my review. Please contact me for now.

ハナウマ湾でウミガメには出会えませんでしたが、州魚を見れました。ただ1時間の遊泳のうち半分は魚があまりいない場所でのウミガメ探しになってしまったので、ゆっくり魚を見る時間はありません。
また、ツアー後は当日中にFacebookに写真がアップロードされますが、私達夫婦の分が漏れており(ツアー中も参加者8人?10人?など揉めており、認識不足が垣間見えました。危険では?)、問い合わせても一切応答なし。
チップも十分払っているのに、、お金を払ったら後は一切対応しない不誠実なツアー運営だと思いました。連絡あれば、評価を修正します。とりあえず連絡ください。

I sincerely apologize for the delay in noticing your message on Facebook. As I mentioned in my reply on Facebook, I checked the photo data afterward, but unfortunately, we do not have any photos of Moana. We find it puzzling as well, but it seems there may have been a malfunction with the GoPro when we were taking pictures of the two of you, or perhaps we thought we had taken them, but they did not save. I am truly sorry for not being able to provide the photos. If you could visit us again, I would love to take some wonderful pictures this time. I look forward to seeing you again someday. I am really sorry for the inconvenience this time.

Facebookのメッセージに気付くのが遅れてしまい、大変申し訳ございませんでした。Facebookでも返信しました通り、その後写真データを確認しましたが、どうしてもモアナさんのお写真がないのです。どうしてなのかは私達も不思議なのですが、きっとお二人を写した時にGoproの不具合いがあったのか、写真を写したつもりでも写っていなかったのだと思います。本当にお写真をおあげできずに申し訳ございませんでした。これに懲りずに次回また来ていただけましたら、今度こそは素敵なお写真を撮ってあげたいと思っております。いつかまたお会いできますことをお待ちしております。本当に今回はご迷惑をお掛けして申し訳ございませんでした。

I was able to see a lot of fish. 沢山魚が見れました

Reviewed by: たまちゃん

The waves were calm that day, so we were able to go out to the special area. Although we didn't see any turtles, we saw plenty of colorful and large fish. I thought an hour would be short, but it turned out to be quite tiring, and I got seasick and felt fatigued from the flight. In the end, I managed to return slowly. I had prepared a waterproof case to take photos underwater, but I didn't have the energy to do so. Let's make sure to remember everything with our eyes. Both my child and I felt unwell, but the guide was very accommodating and didn't show any displeasure, which was a relief. Thank you very much.

その日は波が穏やかだったとのことで、特別に行ける沖にいったそうです。
カメは見られませんでしたが、カラフルで大きな魚はたくさん見れました。
1時間は短いかと思いましたが、やってみるとかなり疲れるのと波酔い、飛行機疲れのため酔ってしまいました。最後は休み休み、何とか戻ることができました。

Thank you for joining the tour. Since you went on the tour right after arriving in Hawaii, I imagine you must have been quite tired. Also, the malasadas you had in the car might not have been the best idea before snorkeling. I apologize for that. Both of you were very skilled at snorkeling, so please do challenge yourselves again when you come back to Hawaii. We are always here waiting for you. Thank you. Mahalo!!

この度はツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございました。ハワイに到着してすぐにツアーでしたので、きっとお疲れだったのかと思います。それと車の中で食べたマラサダもシュノーケリング前にはよくなかったのかもしれません。ごめんなさいね。シュノーケリングはお二人ともとてもお上手でしたから、ぜひまたハワイにお越しの際には再度挑戦できてくださいね。いつでもお待ちしております。ありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

Perfect for snorkeling. シュノーケリングに最適

Reviewed by: shuu

I visited Hanauma Bay for the first time in 2019 and was impressed by its beauty and the abundance of fish. However, since then, tours have been discontinued and reservations are now required for entry, making it difficult to visit on my own. This time, I participated in a tour. Although the morning is early, I think it's nice because there are fewer crowds. Even if you're not good at English, as long as you ask about the meeting place and time for the return, there shouldn't be any problems. I was worried about strong winds the day before, but I was lucky that the weather was good on the day of the tour.

2019年に初めてハナウマ湾に行き、美しさとたくさんの魚を観ることが出来、感動しましたが、その後ツアーが無くなったり、入場予約が必要になったりで個人で行くのも難しく、今回、このツアーに参加しました。朝は早いですが混雑が少なくていいと思います。英語が不得手でも帰りの集合場所と時間さえ聞いておけば問題ないです。前日まで風が強く心配でしたが当日は天気良くラッキーでした。

It was amazing. 最高でした

Reviewed by: わい

I participated in my first snorkeling tour because I wanted to create memorable experiences on my honeymoon! Although I had some anxiety, the instructor spoke Japanese fluently, which made me feel very secure, and I was able to enjoy the experience without any difficulties, even as a beginner.

At first, I struggled to get used to breathing underwater, but the instructor held my hand and supported me throughout, always keeping an eye on all the participants. It seemed like we had good conditions that day, as we were able to go quite far and even encountered six sea turtles. However, depending on the type of participants (some were too scared to go deeper) and the sea conditions (like wind and waves), experiences may vary on different days, so some might find it less satisfying.

I truly had a wonderful experience, and thanks to Dan and Chieko, my honeymoon became an unforgettable one! One thing to note is that since it was my first time snorkeling, I felt a bit seasick, so I wish I had taken motion sickness medication beforehand. As someone who gets cold easily, even with a wetsuit, I still felt chilly at the seabed. Swimming for about an hour was quite tiring physically. I think it would be more enjoyable to participate in good health, especially considering the fatigue from traveling.

I noticed that they were attentive to those who seemed unwell, offering support and even having them sit in the front seat of the car on the way back. I believe they provided the best service possible. I highly recommend it!

新婚旅行で何か思い出に残ることがしたいと初めてのシュノーケリングツアーに参加しました!
不安もありましたが日本語を完全に話せるインストラクターさんなのでとても安心でき、初めてでも不自由なく過ごすことができました。
潜ってすぐは呼吸に慣れず手こずりましたがずっと手を繋いでサポートしてくれ、終始参加者全員のことを気にかけてくれていました。
条件がいい日だったようでかなり奥まで行けてウミガメ6匹とも会うことができましたが、参加者のタイプだったり(怖がって奥まで行けない方もいると仰ってました)、海の状況を見て(風や波など)参加日によってかなり違うと思うので物足りない方もいるのかもしれません。
私は本当に素晴らしい体験をさせて頂き、ダンさんチエコさんのおかげで一生忘れられない新婚旅行になりました!
注意点は初めてのシュノーケリングだったので少し波酔いしてしまったので酔い止めを飲んでおけば良かったと思います。冬の参加で寒がりの私はウエットスーツをお借りしても海底は寒く感じました。1時間ほどずっと泳ぐのでかなり体力的には疲れを感じました。旅の疲れもある中で体調は万全にして参加した方がより楽しめるかと思います。
気分が悪そうな方には声をかけていたり帰りの車は助手席に乗せていたり常に最善のサービスを届けて下さったと思います。おすすめです!

The most memorable experience during my 10-day stay in Hawaii. ハワイ滞在10日間の中で随一の思い出

Reviewed by: たろまる

It was the best experience.
I was a bit anxious since it was my first time snorkeling, but I felt that it was a tour where beginners could participate with peace of mind because the guide was very supportive.

Hanauma Bay is very beautiful, and I was able to see a lot of fish. The swimming time is about an hour, which was just right for me as a beginner.
*For those who regularly engage in water sports, it might feel a bit short.

I think it's essential for participants in the winter season and beginners in snorkeling to rent a wetsuit.

In winter, the seawater is a bit cold, so the wetsuit helps alleviate that, and it provides buoyancy, allowing you to focus on snorkeling with peace of mind.

I will definitely book this tour again when I go to Hawaii.

最高の体験でした。
初めてのシュノーケリングで不安もありましたが、
ガイドさんがフォローしてくださるので初心者でも安心して参加できるツアーだと感じました。

ハナウマ湾はとても綺麗で魚もたくさん見ることができ、
遊泳時間は1時間程度ですが、初心者の私にはちょうど良い時間でした。
※普段からマリンスポーツをされている方には、もしかしたら少し物足りないかも

また冬シーズンの参加の方、シュノーケリング初心者の方は、
ウェットスーツのレンタル必須だと思います。

冬は海水が少し冷たいのでその緩和と、
浮力があるので安心してシュノーケリングに集中できます。

またハワイに行く時はこのツアーを必ず予約します。

I couldn't enjoy myself freely because I was with people I didn't know well. I would like to have a bit more free time. Although we got in early, we could only swim for about an hour, so I couldn't go to the places I wanted to. I didn't think Hanauma Bay was more beautiful than it was four years ago. It was nice that the fish were used to people and didn't swim away. The guide was kind and helpful. Since I didn't need water or snacks, I would have preferred a lower price or at least to have about two hours of free time.

初めての人たちと一緒だったので自由にできなかった。ある程度自由時間がほしい。早く入れたが実質泳げるのが1時間程度なので、行きたいところに行けなかった。4年前より、ハナウマ湾が綺麗だとは思えなかった。魚は慣れていたので逃げないのは良かった。ガイドさんは親切で良かった。水もお菓子もいらないので、もう少し安くするか、せめて2時間くらいは自由にしたかった。

Hanauma Bay for the first time in 42 years. 42年ぶりのハナウマ湾

Reviewed by: shige

I heard that the water has become clearer thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, so I visited Hanauma Bay for the first time in 42 years. I feel like the water was clearer back then compared to this visit. However, there were so many sea cucumbers that there was hardly any space to stand, making it uncomfortable to land on the sandy bottom. This time, I hardly encountered any sea cucumbers, and I felt there were many types of fish. I'm good at free diving, but since I borrowed a wetsuit for the season, my body was buoyant, making it difficult to dive deep, which was a hassle. It seems just right for looking down from the surface without diving.

コロナパンデニックのお陰?で水がきれいになったと聞き、42年ぶりにハナウマ湾に行ってきました。
その頃は今回より水は綺麗だったような気がします。
ただ、足の踏み場が無い程の大量のナマコがいて砂地の着地は気持ちが悪かったです。
今回はナマコには殆ど遭遇せず魚の種類も多く感じました。
素潜りは得意の方ですが、季節柄ウエットスーツを借りただけに体が浮き深く潜る事ができにくく厄介でした。
潜らず水面から下を眺めるにはちょうど良いようです。

Reviewed by: ライム

I visited Hanauma Bay for the first time in over 10 years. Previously, I could take a direct bus from Waikiki and freely enter the water, but it seems that after COVID, you can no longer enter without a ticket. I gave up on getting a ticket since they are sold online only two days in advance, so I joined this tour instead.

The guides were a very kind and wonderful Japanese woman and a gentle foreign man who spoke fluent Japanese. From the entrance to the explanatory video and entering the water, it was a bit complicated, so I felt it was difficult without a Japanese-speaking guide.

They took us to a snorkeling spot with lots of fish, which was really fun. Although I didn't see any sea turtles, I was glad to see many different types of fish. I recommend this for anyone wanting to visit Hanauma Bay. Also, if you're going in winter, a wetsuit is essential. The sun is hot, but the water temperature is surprisingly low.

10年以上ぶりにハナウマベイに行きました。
以前はワイキキからバス1本で行けて、海にも自由に入れましたが、コロナ後は入場チケットがないと入れなくなったようです。しかも2日前からオンライン販売と、チケットを入手するのは難しいと諦め、こちらのツアーに参加しました。
ガイドは日本人のとても親切で素敵な女性と
、日本語ペラペラの優しい外国人男性です。
入場から説明ビデオから海に入るまで、少しややこしいので、日本語のガイドさんがいないとやはり難しかったなあと思いました。
シュノーケルも魚がさくさんいるポイントに案内してくれて、とても楽しかったです。
ウミガメは見れませんでしたが、様々な種類の魚がたくさん見れて良かったです。
ハナウマベイに行かれたい方には、おすすめします。
あと、冬に行かれる場合は、ウェットスーツが必須です。日差しは暑いですが、水温は意外と低いです。

Snorkelling Experience

Reviewed by: Angela

Snorkeling with Mickey was so much fun! It was good to see that he was enjoying it as much as we were, even though it’s something he’s done many times. He really knows how to make you feel at ease while in the water, even for first time or lesser experienced swimmers. The activity itself was very cool. We got to see some interesting animals at the ocean floor, such as sea cucumbers, sea urchins, and even some fish. I would definitely recommend to anyone who is thinking of signing up for it, and for such a reasonable price too. Surprisingly the photo’s actually turned out quite well too.

Waikiki Guided Beach Snorkeling Tour for Beginners with FREE Photos & Videos

First time snorkeling

Reviewed by: Pearson fam

The basics were very helpful, however, the limitations with life vests and the lack of actual sea life made it a little less of a good experience. Overall it was received well by the family and was fun enough.

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>

I couldn't see any sea turtles. ウミガメは見れませんでした

Reviewed by: MM

I'm really glad I was able to enter Hanauma Bay, which requires a reservation! The instructor was very polite and spoke Japanese, which was quite helpful. There were 10 participants and 2 instructors this time, but since the activities were tailored to the participants' levels, the snorkeling ended up being quite shallow, and the water clarity wasn't great. I was really looking forward to snorkeling in Hawaii, so it was a bit disappointing.

予約がないと入れないハナウマベイに入れたのは、とってもよかったです‼︎
インストラクターの方はとても丁寧で日本語も話せるので、かなり助かりました。
今回は参加者10人、インストラクター2人だったのですが、参加者のレベルに合わせてになるので今回のシュノーケリングらかなり浅瀬のみでの実施になってしまい、普通のシュノーケリングかつ海の透明度もイマイチでした。。
ハワイでのシュノーケリングなのでかなり楽しみにしていた手前少し残念でした。。

カイルアビーチ送迎シャトルサービス 嬉しい5時間滞在!ビーチグッズなど各種レンタル付き<日本語スタッフ/ランチ付>

Very satisfied. 大満足

Reviewed by: フミ

On December 25th, most facilities were closed, so our family of four decided to spend the day at the beach. The staff were quick to explain things and friendly in offering advice. We chose to rent bicycles and borrowed snorkeling gear to head to Lanikai Beach. We were amazed by the beautiful sandy beach and thoroughly enjoyed snorkeling. Next, we returned to Kailua Beach to enjoy swimming in the sea.

For lunch, it seemed that many places were closed, so we had no choice but to go with the tortillas from Kalapawai Market (there were about seven types). It seemed like the staff didn't fully understand the tour coupon, and I almost had to pay at the register and nearly missed out on getting mineral water and chips, but I managed to get through it with Google Translate.

I wanted to eat on the beach, but due to time constraints, we returned to Kailua Beach Adventure to eat. The tortillas were very delicious, but they were quite filling, so I took some home for dinner. It turned out to be a memorable day.

12月25日は、ほとんどの施設が休みなので海で過ごそうと家族4人で参加しました。
スタッフの方々は、てきぱきと説明してくれたり、気さくにアドバイスしてくれたりしました。
オプションは自転車を選択し、シュノーケルを借りて、ラニカイビーチに向かいました。美しい砂浜に感動、シュノーケリングもしっかり楽しめました。次にカイルアビーチに戻り、海水浴を楽しみました。
ランチは、店が休みの所が多い為なのか、カラパワイマーケットのトルティーヤ(7種類位はあった)一択でした。店員さんがツアーのクーポンの事をよくわかってないのか、レジで支払いをさせられそうになったり、ミネラルウォーターとポテチをもらいそびれそうになったりしましたが、Google翻訳で何とか乗り切れました。
ビーチで食べたかったのですが、時間的に厳しかったのでカイルアビーチアドベンチャーに戻って食べました。トルティーヤはとても美味しかったですが、ボリュームがあったので持ち帰り夕飯にしました。
思い出に残る1日となりました。

ハナウマ湾シャトルサービス シュノーケリングセットレンタル付き<英語ドライバー>

The weather was unavoidable, but I wished they had also prepared explanation pouches for Japanese people. 天候は、仕方ないけど、日本人用の説明パウチの準備もして欲しかった

Reviewed by: ピーチボーイズ

At the end of December, it was the rainy season, so the weather was bad and cold, making it impossible to stay in the sea for even 10 minutes. I quickly headed towards the parking lot, but there was no place to take shelter from the rain, and many people were gathered under the small roof of the shop and restroom. I thought it would be nice to have a facility with a roof to take shelter during such times.

The driver-guide was kind and friendly, but since the explanations were only in English, I couldn't understand anything and felt anxious from start to finish, which made the experience zero fun. While there were some pouches with explanations about the fish, I wished they could at least prepare a minimal Japanese pouch with the day's itinerary, return time, meeting place, and precautions for Hanauma Bay. I think Japanese people who cannot speak English should not participate. Conversely, if they want to attract Japanese customers, they should prepare explanatory pouches. If they don't need Japanese customers, then it's fine to continue as they have been. At least I managed to get back.

12月末で雨期だったので、天候が悪く、寒くて、10分も海に浸かることができないほど、直ぐに着替え駐車場の方に向かったが、雨宿りするところもなく売店とトイレの小さな屋根の所に大勢でいてましてが、こんな時に雨宿りできる屋根のある施設があれば良いのにな〜と思いました。
運転手ガイドさんは、優しくて親切ではありますが、英語の説明しかないので、全くわからず最初から最後まで不安で楽しさは、0でした。魚の説明のパウチ等は、軽く回されましたが、そのパウチを準備できるならせめて最小限の日本語の1日の流れ、帰りの時間と集合場所、ハナウマベイの注意事項等のパウチを準備して欲しかった。英語のできない日本人は、参加すべきでないと思います。逆に日本人のお客さんを獲得したいなら説明パウチを準備すべきだと思います。日本人のお客さんを必要ないと思うなら今まで通りで良いかと思います。何とか帰ってこれましたから

I enjoyed the beautiful weather in Kailua. 良い天気のカイルア満喫しました。

Reviewed by: racco

Natsue and Emi, the Japanese staff, were kind and provided various explanations, which made me feel at ease. The lockers are secure, so there's no need to worry, and they also shared how to enjoy Kailua, allowing me to fully enjoy both the beach and the town within the time I had.

The weather was great, which was lucky, and Kailua is not too crowded, making it comfortable to spend time there. The ocean is beautiful, and the town is cute.

The sea was murky from the rain the day before, so I couldn't see many fish or sea turtles. I felt envious of Natsue, who lives there. If I go to Hawaii again, I want to swim in the beautiful waters of Kailua.

日本人スタッフのなつえさんとえみさんが親切に対応して色々と説明してくださって安心でした、ロッカーには鍵もかかるから心配いらないし、カイルアの楽しみ方も教えてくださったので時間内で海も街も堪能して楽しめました。
お天気もとても良くラッキーだったしカイルアは人が多すぎないから過ごしやすい。海も綺麗で街もかわいい。
海は前日の雨で濁っていてあまりお魚や海亀は見れなかったけど。在住のなつえさんが羨ましいと思いました。
またハワイに行くならきれいなカイルアの海で泳ぎたいです。

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>

A trip with my daughter. 娘と二人旅

Reviewed by: なる

It was my sixth-grade daughter's second time snorkeling in her life, but perhaps because of her bad experience during her first time, I had to somewhat forcefully encourage her to participate. However, from the moment we were picked up, the staff were kind and taught us patiently, which allowed her to enjoy it with peace of mind. She said it was the most fun she had during this trip! It has become my favorite memory as well. Thank you very much!

小学6年生の娘にとって人生で二度目のシュノーケリングでしたが、初めて体験した時のイメージが悪かったせいか、嫌がる娘を半ば強引に誘っての参加でした。
しかし、送迎の時から優しく、丁寧に教えて頂き、安心して楽しむことができたようで、今回の旅行の中で一番楽しかったと言ってくれました!私にとっても一番の思い出です。本当にありがとうございました

It's worth it, even if it's a bit expensive! 少々高くても価値あり!

Reviewed by: やえ

I participated alone, but I had a great time.

The two instructors, Dan and Chieko, were very polite and kind, and they took good care of us, so I was able to join without any anxiety. I was very satisfied because we got to snorkel for a full hour at great spots. The tour was conducted entirely in Japanese, so even those who can't speak English at all can feel at ease.

When I went ten years ago, there was no need to make a reservation for Hanauma Bay, so I went there by TheBus on my own. However, I heard that making a reservation is very difficult now, and I was half resigned to that. But I really wanted to see that beautiful ocean, and even though I thought it might be a bit expensive, I’m glad I went. I'm considering asking for this again the next time I come to Hawaii.

Thank you very much.

1人で参加しましたがとても楽しめました。

インストラクターのお2人ダンさん、ちえこさんもとても丁寧で優しくて気にかけてくれたので全く不安なく参加できましたし、良いスポットを1時間たっぷりシュノーケリングで回れたので大満足でした。ツアーは終始日本語なので英語が全くできない人でも安心です。

10年前に行った時はハナウマ湾への予約の必要がなかったので自分でTheBusで行ってましたが、今は予約を取るのがとても大変と聞いて半分諦めてました。でもどうしてもあの綺麗な海に行きたくてちょっと高いかなと思ったけどやっぱり行って良かったです。また次にハワイに来た時もお願いしようかなと思っています。

ありがとうございました。
