It was cloudy all day, with occasional light rain, and it felt a bit chilly, so the conditions were not ideal. However, the staff lent us wetsuits, took photos on the boat, helped us find turtles, and really lifted the atmosphere. I had a very enjoyable time, so I would like to visit again on a sunny day.
この日はずっと曇りで、時々小雨もぱらつき、肌寒く、コンディション的にはハズレでしたが、スタッフの皆さんがウェットスーツを貸してくれたり、船上で写真を撮ってくれたり、カメを見つけてくれたり、場を盛り上げてくれました。
とても楽しい時間が過ごせたので、また晴れた日に再訪したいです。
できる限り晴れの可能性が高い時期を選ぶと良いです。

This is an amazing experience. Entertainment of hosts (singers) was perfect. They have wit and the singing talent to go with it. I highlyrecommend going with them.
The sandbar is amazing! Sea turtles, fish around the corals, paddle boarding.
I can't believe wife and I did the banana boat ride at our ages. It is worth it though! I tell people I can't believe I did it but glad I did.
Will take this tour again when given the chance!
make sure you don't over eat before taking this trip.

The boat didn't sway much, and I didn't get seasick.
For lunch, we had spam onigiri and miso soup (there were also chips and coffee).
I encountered sea turtles once or twice, but the water wasn't very clear, so I couldn't see them well, and they swam away in no time.
I appreciated that there were announcements in Japanese. It would be easier to go if it were a bit cheaper.
船はあまり揺れず、船酔いもなし。
ランチは、スパムおにぎりとお味噌汁でした。(ポテチやコーヒーもあり)
ウミガメは、1〜2回遭遇しましたが、水の透明度があまり高くないのでよく見えず、あっという間に泳いでいってしまいました。
日本語の案内があるのはありがたかったです。もう少しお安いと行きやすいですね。
I think it's fun to take photos with sea turtles if you have an action camera like a GoPro. (There are no photography services available here.)

I woke up at 4:30 AM to join the Hanauma Bay tour. I was picked up at the Ilikai Hotel, and the night broke as we headed towards Hanauma Bay. I lined up as soon as the gates opened at 6:45 AM and got my entry ticket for 7:20 AM. I paid $25 in cash, watched an environmental video, and arrived at the beach around 8:00 AM. I put on the rented wetsuit and entered the sea. I encountered a large school of fish and lost track of time until my pickup at 11:00 AM! It was deeply moving to visit Hanauma Bay for the first time in five years since my visit before the pandemic!

Before long, we arrived at Turtle Canyon, a few kilometers offshore. Sea turtles were swimming right next to the boat!
I borrowed a mask and fins and went snorkeling while observing the coral reef. I was able to spot sea turtles underwater right away!
After snorkeling, we raised the sails and cruised while enjoying the view of Diamond Head. The sea breeze was very pleasant!

I participated in the first bus trip during Golden Week. The bus was almost full. (I made the reservation about a month in advance.) There were not only Japanese people but also other Asians participating, so the guidance was provided in both Japanese and English.
On the day of the sandbar, the deepest part was around the groin, and the shallowest part was about knee-deep (I am 165 cm tall). We alternated with other passengers on the boat to do snorkeling and activities, and since we went snorkeling first, the staff kindly taught us how to wear the snorkel mask on the boat.
Snorkeling: I swam in deeper water than I had imagined. Of course, I couldn't touch the bottom, but since there were few people who couldn't swim, the guide accompanied them while swimming. I was very happy to see sea turtles (about 5 to 6 of them). They were swimming or staying in their habitat, and they were so big that it surprised me! The guide found the sea turtles and pointed out where they were.
Activities: Mainly, stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) was the focus (there were fewer floaties, and I don't think there were any ZAYAK on the day of participation). SUP was difficult to balance, but it was a lot of fun.
There was plenty of time for both snorkeling and activities. The duration was just right—not too long and not too short.
The guides were bright, kind, and their explanations and stories were interesting, making it a wonderful experience. I had a lovely time. Thank you very much!
GW真っ只中の第1便に参加しました。
バスはほぼ満席です。(予約は1ヶ月前くらいにしました。)日本人だけでなく他のアジア人も一緒に参加していたので、日本語と英語の両方での案内がありました。
当日のサンドバーは、いちばん深いところで足の付け根あたり、いちばん浅いところで膝下くらいでした。(身長165cm)
他の船の乗船者と交代で、シュノーケリングとアクティビティを行う形で、先にシュノーケリングを行ったため(?)、船の上でシュノーケルマスクの付け方など丁寧に教えていただきました。
シュノーケリング:想像以上に深いところを泳ぎました。もちろん、足はつきませんが、泳げない人は(人数が少なかったためか)ガイドさんが付いて泳いでいました。
シュノーケル中に海亀(5〜6頭)に会えたのはとても嬉しかったです。泳いでいたり、住処にとどまっていたり、とにかく大きくて驚きました!ガイドさんが、海亀を見つけて、いる場所を教えてくれました。
アクティビティ:主にSUPがメイン(浮き輪の数は少なめ、参加日にZAYAKは無かった気がします)でした。SUPはバランス取るのが難しかったですが、とても楽しかったです。
シュノーケルもアクティビティも、充分時間があります。長すぎず短すぎずちょうどいい時間でした。

The bus from the hotel to the site is average. The driver provided information for the return trip when we got off. He gave the announcements in English and Kansai dialect (laughs).
The boat has a toilet. I had to hold it in a lot during the manta tour on the Big Island, so this was a big help!
There are plenty of drinks available on board, even miso soup! There are also a lot of snacks. Only one rice ball per person, though.
During the initial snorkeling for those who wanted to participate, the crew guided us. They scattered food, so there were tons of fish. I saw more than ten turtles swimming around.
After that, we did stand-up paddleboarding. They told us to enjoy it until the last minute, so we played until just before heading back!
Most of the crew spoke fluent Japanese. There were also people with babies.

There was standup paddle boarding, kayaking, floating lounge chairs, snorkeling, live music, and drinks available for purchase (juice and water were free though).

The receptionist spoke a little Japanese, but the crew on the boat communicated entirely in English. My English skills are only sufficient to understand simple phrases, but since they demonstrated how to use the snorkeling equipment, there were no particular issues as long as I paid attention. There were no other Japanese participants, but it felt like an overseas trip, which was nice!
When boarding the boat, you need to take off your sandals and shake off the sand from your feet. You sit in your seat and wait until you reach the snorkeling point. Once the crew is ready, everyone enters the water one by one. They apply anti-fog solution to the snorkeling mask, and after rubbing it in with your hands, you dip it in a bucket of water before putting it on. Just before entering the water, you put on your fins, and off you go into the sea!
You swim a little away from the boat to reach the watching point. As you swim, you see plenty of fish. I was surprised at how many there were! When a turtle appeared, the crew would call out, "Turtle!!" and let us know. We all gathered around, watching without getting too close. I was able to see the turtle both underwater and when it came up for air. So cute!
Many other boats were also there for turtle watching, so it might be helpful to keep an eye out for people wearing the same life jackets as you or to listen for the call of "Holokai!" to stay together and feel secure.
Looking at past reviews, it seems that the shape of the life jackets and floats might vary depending on when you participate. When we joined, we had life jackets that you inflate yourself. I recommend inflating them fully. Since the back of the jacket doesn't have any buoyancy, it might feel a bit scary if you're not used to swimming. My partner was also new to snorkeling and being in water where he couldn't touch the bottom, so he seemed quite fearful and stayed close to the boat while snorkeling. The crew informed us from the boat that there was a turtle, so we were able to enjoy turtle watching safely.
After snorkeling, we relaxed on the boat for about an hour. We were feeling a bit seasick, so we couldn't eat, but snacks were available for everyone else. The crew noticed we looked unwell and kindly asked if we were okay, applying lavender oil to our wrists, which is said to help with seasickness. I appreciated their kindness.
Although I felt a bit seasick towards the end, the breeze and sunshine on the boat were very pleasant, and I was able to see many fish and cute turtles. I think it was a wonderful experience that I wouldn't have had otherwise!
受付のお姉さんは少し日本語を話してくれましたが、船上クルーの方はずっと英語でした。簡単な英語が聞き取れる程度の英語力しかありませんが、シュノーケリング用具の説明は実演してくれたので、しっかり見ていれば特に問題はなかったです。
日本人の参加者は他にいませんでしたが、海外旅行を感じられたのでそれも良し!
船に乗り込むときはサンダルを脱ぎ、足についた砂を落として乗り込みます。
椅子に座ってシュノーケリングポイントにつくまで待機。クルーの方の準備が完了したら、順々に海に入っていきます。
シュノーケリングマスクに曇り止め?を付けてもらい手で塗り込んだら、バケツのお水に一度つけてから装着。
海に入る直前にフィンをつけて、さあ海の中へ!
船から少し離れて、泳いでウォッチングポイントへ移動します。
泳いでいるとお魚はたくさん目に入ります。こんなにいるのか!とびっくり。
タートルが現れたときは「タートーーール!!」とクルーの方が声がけして教えてくれます。みんなで丸く囲みながら、近寄らずにウォッチング。
私は、海中にいる時と海上に呼吸をしに来た時の姿を拝むことができました。かわいいな〜
他の船もたくさんタートルウォッチングに来ているので、自分と同じライフジャケットをしている人を見逃さないようにしたり、「ホロカ〜イ!」という声がけに耳を澄ませておくと、逸れずに安心かもしれません。
過去レビューの写真を見たところ、参加タイミングによりライフジャケットや浮きの形が違うのかも? 私たちが参加した際は、自分で空気を吹き込んで膨らませるライフジャケットでした。しっかりと膨らませることをおすすめします。
背中側に浮きがない形なので、もしかしたら泳ぎ慣れていないと少し怖いのかもしれません。私のパートナーはシュノーケリングも初、足の付かない水中も初だったこともあり恐怖感がとても強かったようで、船からはあまり離れずシュノーケリングをしていました。
クルーの方が船の上から「カメいるよ〜」と教えてくれたようで、無事にタートルウォッチングはできたようです。
シュノーケリングが終わった後は1時間ほど、船上でゆっくり。
私たちは船酔い気味だったので食べられませんでしたが、スナックは自由にいただけたようで、みなさん召し上がっていました。
クルーの方は我々の具合の悪そうな様子を見て、大丈夫?と声をかけてくれ、酔いに効くらしいラベンダーオイルを手首に付けてくれました。優しさに感謝。
終盤船酔い気味ではありましたが、船上で感じる風や陽射しはとても気持ちが良く、たくさんのお魚やかわいいホヌも見ることができ、なかなかできない良い体験ができたなと思っています!
Don't forget to bring a towel to dry off after snorkeling! I also recommend preparing some motion sickness medication. Additionally, don't forget sun protection. While sitting on the boat, I got quite
シュノーケリング後に身体を拭くタオルをお忘れなく!
酔い止めの用意もおすすめします。
また、日焼け対策も忘れずに。船上で座っていたときに陽が当たりやすかったのか、膝上から腿がこんがり焼けました。

The service and explanations provided by all the staff were excellent, as they spoke with each customer individually to understand their needs and desires until we disembarked. It was very reassuring to have a Japanese female staff member who could communicate in Japanese. The lunch burgers and drinks were good! After that, the sea turtle watching was well-timed and satisfying! Unfortunately, the snorkeling included with the coral reef watching was affected by sudden rain, bad weather, and cold temperatures, but there was still plenty of time for watching, and the hot drinks provided on board afterward were great. I was initially worried about language barriers with the multinational group on the small boat, but all the staff made it enjoyable! Choosing this tour was definitely the right decision!
スタッフ全員の接客と説明、お客様1人ずつと話をして船を降りる時まで何が欲しいのか 何をしたいのか等 細やかなサービスは最高でした!日本人女性のスタッフが日本語で対応していただけたのもとても安心できました。ランチのハンバーガーと飲み物もgood!その後 海亀ウォッチングもgood timingで満足!残念ながらシュノーケリングを付けての珊瑚礁ウォッチングでは突然のシャワーと悪天候と寒さでしたが、充分ウォッチング時間もあり その後船上でのホットドリンク等の対応もよかったです。
やはり狭い船上の中 多国籍の人と言葉の心配をしましたが スタッフ全員に楽しませてもらいました! このツアーを選んで正解でした!
The weather can change suddenly, so it's essential to have some warm clothing! Let's go with a bag that won't get wet from water or rain!
天候が急に変わるので 少し温まれる服は絶対必要です!水や雨に濡れないバックで行きましょう!

The two women, Captain Hosanna and Jamie, who took care of us, were very fluent in Japanese. After explaining in English, they kindly re-explained everything for the Japanese guests, which made us feel very relieved and was great.
During the snorkeling led by Jamie, we were able to swim alongside a mother and baby sea turtle, which was a rare experience to see them up close. Looking beneath the surface, we could see schools of fish up close, and it was truly moving; I'm really glad we came.
On the other hand, during the shuttle bus ride, there was an unexpected stop at Leonard's Malasada wagon, where the driver kept praising it and asking for tips, which was not mentioned in the itinerary. I think such things should be noted. We didn't bring extra money and felt like we just wasted time.
僕達を担当してくれたホサンナキャプテンとジェイミーさん二人の女性は日本語がとても流暢で、英語で説明した後にわざわざ日本人のためにもう一度説明し直してくれたのでとても安心できて良かったです。
ジェイミーさんが引率してくれたシュノーケリングではウミガメの親子と並泳でき、とても間近で見ることが出来て貴重な体験となりました。水面の中を見ると魚の群れが間近で見ることができ、本当に感動し来て良かったです。
反面、送迎バスでは案内に記載の無かった「チップの要求と運転手がやたらと褒めるレナーズのマラサダのワゴンに立ち寄る」という事があり、そういうことなら記載すべきと思いました。私達は余分なお金を持っていかず、時間だけ浪費した感がありました。
It might be a good idea to bring some money.
お金は多少持って行った方が良いかも。

I booked this tour on my last trip to Oahu and was really excited about it. The downside is I ended up getting sea sick while I was in the water :( Even though it ended up cutting my experience with the sea turtles short, the crew was so kind and went out of their way to make sure I was feeling better and still had a great time.
I highly recommend this experience and can't wait to come back and try again (with better motion-sickness meds :) )

Not the best experience, very rushed,choppy water, cloudy because of all the sand in the waterI didn't see anything underwater snorkeling ,saw a few turtles swimming on top of water.as far as the drinks part.. you got about 15 mins to chug your 3 free drinks on the way back because you can't drink and snorkel? Probably a bad combo to sell .Probably won't do this one again Crew was well informed and nice but could put more effort in the experience.
Don't sell a booze snorkel cruise,when it's a bad combo

I kept jumping back and forth with scuba diving vs snorkeling. I’m glad I chose snorkeling! our instructor was Rida, he made the experience great with his cheesey jokes and his knowledge of the sea life. He was also very kind and understanding to those who were very afraid of deep water and using the snorkel for the first time.

It's best to choose a time when the likelihood of sunny weather is high. I went in February, but the weather was quite variable.
