I received a short message the day before the activity, and the pickup location was easy to understand. They arrived on time, which was reassuring. The driver was very polite, and the entry process was smooth. The kids really enjoyed snorkeling in the beautiful sea, and the three hours went by in no time.
アクティビティ前日にショートメールが届いて、迎えのピックアップ場所分かりやすく、時間通りに来てくれて、安心しました。ドライバーさんもとても丁寧で、入場までもスムーズでした。素晴らしい海でシュノーケルを子供たちもとても楽しめて、あっという間の3時間でした。
レンタルウェアを事前に予約しましたが、水着があれぼ不要でした。時期的に4月の早朝の海は少し寒かったです。

You can enjoy stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) and snorkeling at the sandy beach in the shallow waters offshore. The strong winds made SUP quite challenging, but I was able to see sea turtles while snorkeling. It's no problem even for those who are new to snorkeling. There are staff members who speak Japanese, which was reassuring. The scenery and the ocean are beautiful, offering a different kind of experience compared to other beaches.
沖にある浅瀬の砂浜でSUPやシュノーケリングを楽しむことができます。風が強かったのでSUPは難易度が高かったですが、シュノーケリングではウミガメを見ることができました。シュノーケリング初めての方でも問題なしです。日本語の話せるスタッフの方がいらっしゃるので安心でした。景色も海も綺麗で、他のビーチとは違った楽しみ方ができます。
Snorkeling requires quite a bit of physical stamina, so those who are not good swimmers can rest on the boat. I cut my leg on the coral reef, but the staff quickly disinfected it for me.
シュノーケリングはかなり体力を使うので、泳ぎが苦手な人は船で休んでおくこともできます。
サンゴ礁で脚を切ってしまいましたが、スタッフの方がすぐに消毒してくれました。

What a great way to spend an afternoon! The company offers plenty of activities for you to stay active if you want out on the sandbar, or you can just chill out and lounge in the sandbar living room. The lunch was awesome! The staff was very friendly and professional. The 2 man band had amazing talent! I truly enjoyed the experience. It was very relaxing and fun. Thank you for the memories and joy!

To enter Hanauma Bay as soon as it opened, the morning pickup was a bit earlier. I was lucky to catch the sunrise at a nearby coastline while adjusting my schedule before entering!
This was my third visit to Hanauma Bay. The weather was perfect, but the ocean at 7 AM was still quite cold as the water temperature hadn't warmed up yet. Still, the view was absolutely stunning! I was very satisfied to see so many fish.
ハナウマの開園と同時に入場する為、朝のピックアップは少し早めでした。
入場前に時間調整で近くの海岸線で日の出も見れてラッキー!
ハナウマ湾に来るのは3回目
お天気は最高でしたが、やはり朝7時の海は、みだ水温が上がらず冷たかったです(^^;
それでも、やはり絶景!魚達も沢山見れて大満足でした。
In the morning, Hanauma Bay tends to have lower temperatures and water temperatures, so it might be a good idea to have a long-sleeved cover-up.
午前中のハナウマ湾は気温、水温ともに低めなので、長袖の羽織るものはあった方が良いかも。

We participated as a couple. It was amazing to be able to stand in the middle of the ocean, just a short distance from the port to the sandbar. The afternoon snorkeling was wonderful as we could enjoy the corals and many fish. The guides and staff who spoke Japanese were cheerful and made the experience enjoyable.
夫婦で参加させていただきました。サンドバーまで港からすぐで海の真ん中に立ってられるのが不思議でした。午後のシュノーケルでもサンゴやたくさんの魚を観賞できて素晴らしかったです。日本語でのガイドさんやスタッフの方々も明るく楽しめました。

I participated on December 28. I really wanted to go snorkeling at Hanauma Bay, and I heard that local tours are smooth and good because currently, access is strictly limited for environmental protection. It was indeed strict to enter the bay, and there was a long line of cars waiting. The guide seemed to be familiar with the local staff, which made things very smooth for us. All participants borrowed wetsuits. Since there are quite a few rocky areas, I thought it would be dangerous to just wear swimsuits. Please be careful. The guide, who was a couple, provided us with solid instruction on the basic techniques. Even I, who had a fear of water, quickly got used to it and enjoyed myself.
12月28日に参加しました。ハナウマ湾でシュノーケリングを是非したかったのと、現在、環境保護のために、人の出入りが厳しく制限されているということで、現地ツアーがスムーズで良いと聞いたからです。本当に湾に入るのは厳しく、順番待ちの車がズラーッと並んでいました。ガイドさんは現地の係員さんと顔馴染みのようで、こちらはとてもスムーズだったように思います。ウエットスーツは参加者全員借りていました。割と岩場があるので、水着だけでは怪我してしまうと思いました。お気をつけください。ガイドさんはご夫婦で私達を案内してくれて、基本的テクニックをしっかり教えてもらえました。水に恐怖感があった私も、すぐ慣れて楽しめました。
It's definitely better to rent a wetsuit.
ウエットスーツは必ず借りたほうが良いです。
Thank you for participating in the tour. I'm really glad to hear that you enjoyed it. Snorkeling can feel the most challenging during the first time, but you'll get better as you get used to it. I believe you'll find it much easier on your second try, so please consider joining us again when you come back to Hawaii. We'll be waiting for you anytime. 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した。ツアーを楽しんでいただけて、本当に良かったです。シュノーケリングは1回目が一番難しく感じますが、慣れればだんだんと上手になります。2回目はもっと楽にできると思いますので、またハワイにお越しの際にはツアーにリピートしてくださいね。いつでもお待ちしております。Mahalo!!

While we have been to Hawaii a few times this was our first time exploring Hanauma Bay. We didn’t know what to expect but our guide made the adventure far easier than trying to tour this spot on our own. Our guide had all the snorkeling gear, wet suits if needed, snacks available, and took photos for us. We had a young 7 year old child up to elderly and even though some stayed in the water for just a little while our guide helped us navigate the waters or assisted us walking back to our spot on the grass. It was very busy there, and we unfortunately didn’t get to see sea turtles so I wouldn’t go with very high expectations of that. However the bay is just beautiful itself and there are a good amount of fish we saw which was still fun. If you are new to snorkeling and want to see this area I would recommend taking the guided tour like this and then venturing on your own in the future if you are comfortable.
They had all the gear from wet suits to flippers and a way to lock up a few items.
