Fun time- would’ve been better with fins in the current. I was assuming a younger child. The turtles were quite the experience. We saw whales during the sail portion. We met fun people. The kids got to play in the water around the boat when they were done snorkeling. The crew was playful but professional.
Overall it was a win!

There were five of us in total, including ourselves. The guide was really kind and entertaining! It was my first time snorkeling, and without the guide, I would have had no idea how to swim while putting on the gear. During the experience, we were able to see sea turtles twice, and we even got some photos taken. They asked if we needed wetsuits (for $10) when we participated. The guide strongly recommended it, so we decided to get one, and I truly believe I would have been cold and caught a cold without it. While it would be fine for just playing in the water at the beach, they mentioned it was necessary since we would be swimming for over an hour, and I am really grateful for that.
If I have friends going to Hawaii, I would definitely recommend this tour!
私達を含め計5人のグループでした。
ガイドの方が本当に親切で面白く案内をして下さいました!
初めてシュノーケルをしましたが、ガイドさんがいなければ器具をつけながらの泳ぎ方など、全く分からずだったと思います。
また、参加中にはウミガメを2回も見ることができ、写真も撮って頂けました。
参加の際にウエットスーツがいるかどうか聞いて下さいました(10$)。ガイドの方が強く推して下さったのでお願いしましたが、もしなければ寒くて風邪をひいていたと思います。。
ビーチでの水遊び程度であれば無くても大丈夫だが、1時間以上泳ぐので必要と言ってくださり、本当に感謝しています。
またハワイに行く友人などいれば是非オススメしたいツアーでした!

Unfortunately, it was cold weather for snorkeling though tour itself was well coordinated.
And my image of sandbar was less water like land.
I want to try it again in warmer season.

The sandbar, which was also used for filming Pirates of the Caribbean, is a place I wanted to visit in the best condition! I predicted the tidal conditions in Kaneohe Bay, hoping that the sandbar might appear, and decided to join the trip with that expectation.
The result was a complete disappointment. Not only was there no sandbar, but I was a bit disheartened to find the water up to my thighs.
However, there’s no doubt that the sea was beautiful, and the strange sensation of being in shallow water despite being offshore was nice.
I didn’t join without doing any research; I had considered the worst-case scenario, so while I was disappointed, I still had a good time.
Just a note, January in Hawaii can get cold when the sun goes behind the clouds! I was shivering while wrapped in a towel on the boat.
The hamburger for lunch tasted especially good, probably because I had it on the boat.
For those thinking of participating, I believe you’ll be satisfied if you join with the mindset of just wanting to see the beautiful sea, without too much expectation.
パイレーツオブカリビアンの撮影にも使用されたというサンドバー。最高の状態で行ってみたい!と思い、カネオヘ湾の潮の状態を予測し、もしかしたらサンドバーが現れるかも!と期待して参加しました。
結果は、惨敗でした。サンドバーどころか、太ももまで漬かるレベルで少しガッカリ。
でも、綺麗な海である事は間違いなく、沖合いにも関わらず浅瀬という不思議な感覚は、良かったと思っています。
何も調べずに参加した訳ではなく、最悪のケースも想定して行ったので、ガッカリではありますが充分楽しめました。
ただ、1月のハワイは太陽が陰ると寒い!ブルブル震えながら船の上でタオルに包まれてました。
ランチのハンバーガーは、船の上で頂いたからか、とても美味しく感じました。
これから参加しようと思っている方は、期待しずぎず、綺麗な海を見に行く感覚で参加されたら満足されると思います。

I participated in a tour on the morning of January 22.
The flow of the tour is simply as follows:
1. Sandbar walk
We got off the boat at a spot where the water was waist-deep and walked. During this season, it can be cold if the sun isn't shining, and the sea doesn't look very beautiful when it's cloudy.
2. Light meal
A buffet on the boat with bread, salad, and fruits. The taste was average.
3. Snorkeling
After a lecture on how to wear the mask, how to breathe, and precautions about the coral, we swam for about 20 minutes. We saw beautiful fish and coral, but there were no turtles.
4. Free time
Time to play freely using bodyboards and floaties. However, it was cold, and many people went back up to the boat. Those who didn't participate in snorkeling were taken on a cruise during this time.
Overall assessment:
- The staff's response was top-notch.
- When it's cloudy, the sea is not beautiful at all and it's cold.
Considering the price, tips, and the season, it felt about right.
1/22の朝からのツアーに参加してきました。
ツアーの流れは、簡単には以下の通り。
①サンドバーウォーク
腰の高さの位置までの場所で船から降り、歩く。この時期だと陽が当たらないと寒く、曇りだと対して海が綺麗に見えない。
②軽食
船の上でパン、サラダ、フルーツなどのブッフェ。味は普通。
③シュノーケル
マスクの付け方、呼吸の仕方、サンゴの注意点などのレクチャーの後、20分程度平泳ぎ。綺麗な魚とサンゴが見れました。亀はいませんでした。
④フリータイム
ボディーボード、浮き輪などを使って自由に遊ぶ時間。ただ、寒くて船の上に上がる人が多い。シュノーケルに参加してない人は、ここでクルーズに連れて行ってもらえた。
総評
・スタッフの対応は最高レベル
・曇りだと、海が全然綺麗じゃない&寒い
価格とチップ、時期を考えると、こんなもんかなぁという感じでした。

I had a great time! I was a bit anxious about snorkeling in deep water where my feet couldn't touch the bottom, but thanks to the life jacket being fully inflated, I had enough buoyancy and it wasn't scary at all. If you've snorkeled before, you'll definitely enjoy it!
Since it's out in the ocean, there are mostly black fish, so if you're looking to see colorful fish, this might not be the best spot. However, there are plenty of sea turtles! I saw at least five! Watching them swim in groups was wonderful!
It seems to be a diving spot, as there were divers from diving tours below us. I was very satisfied watching the sea turtles and fish gracefully swimming in the deep sea! During the boat ride, I also got to see dolphins and whales, which was a nice touch for Hawaii!
Just a heads up, after snorkeling, the cruising can be a bit chilly with a wet body in the wind, so I recommend dressing warmly. Also, the boat goes quite fast, so if you're prone to seasickness, be prepared. They also do some leisurely sailing with the sails up, which added a nice variety to the experience.
You can easily enjoy this without going far, right off the coast of Waikiki, so I definitely recommend it!
とっても楽しかったです!
足がつかない沖でのシュノーケルが不安でしたがライフジャケットをパンパンに膨らましたため、浮力があったので怖いことはなくシュノーケルしたことある方なら十分楽しめます!
沖なので、魚は黒い魚が多く色とりどりの魚を見たい方には向きません。
ただ、海亀はたくさんいます!5匹は見れました!群れて泳ぐ姿が良かったです!
ダイビングスポットなのか、下にはダイビングツアーのダイバーも。
深い海を優雅に泳ぐ海亀と魚に大満足です!
船で移動中には、イルカの背やホエールも見れてハワイ詰め合わせでした!
ただ、シュノーケル後にクルージングなので濡れた体が風にあたり寒いです。しっかり防寒することをお勧めします。
また、かなりスリリングに船を飛ばしてくれるので酔いやすい方は対策を。
ゆったり帆を張ってスローなクルージングもしてくれるので緩急あって飽きませんでした。
遠くに行かなくてもワイキキ沖で手軽に楽しめるのでぜひ!

There were a lot of fish while snorkeling, but I was a bit disappointed that there were few colorful ones. We went as a family of three, and my daughter, who is not fond of the ocean, stayed close to me, allowing us parents to enjoy snorkeling with peace of mind. We were also able to see sea turtles underwater and seals floating on the surface nearby. The sailing after snorkeling, with the splashes of waves, was surprisingly thrilling and fun.
シュノーケリングで魚は沢山いたのですが、色の付いた魚が少なかったのが、少しガッカリでした。家族3人で行ったのですが、海が苦手な娘にずっと付き添ってもらえて、親は安心してシュノーケリングを楽しめました。海中のウミガメ、海に浮かぶアザラシも近くで見えました。シュノーケリング後の波飛沫を上げて進むセーリングが思いの外、迫力があり楽しかったです。

This is a great activity for all ages! The crew are very friendly and accommodating and the excursion is very well organized. We saw several large turtles and one juvenile turtle! The best thing about this excursion is not only do you have the chance to snorkel with lots of turtles, but the crew takes you out for a sail where you can enjoy cocktails onboard. Really great way to end the perfect tour!
Recommendation: if you are strong swimmer, you should consider renting fins to dive down and get a closer look at the turtles!

Staff are nice. Lunch was simple but tasty. When we went there, sandbar was not very low tide and we had rain. So most people stayed at the boat as it was too cold being in the water. Snorkel was nice. It was nice that the staff are watching us for safety when we were in the water. We had to wait for return shuttle for 30 min as there was some misunderstanding between the transportation company and the tour company. While waiting for our shuttle, We saw puffer fish at the marina where boat launch/stay. It was nice surprise.

We participated with a total of nine people, from a five-month-old baby to my 64-year-old father and mother. It rained on the way to the sandbar, and when we got off, the water was up to our knees. My father said he would wait on the boat, but we forced him to come along, and in the end, he said he was glad he went! I think it's a good idea to check the tide schedule in advance. The BBQ was delicious, and the kids were very satisfied.

It seems that the sandbar doesn't appear every time! It looks like you can only stand on the beautiful sandy beach during low tide, and that information wasn't provided. Just before arriving at the sandbar, I was told that I could go in up to my knees today! I was looking forward to standing on the sandbar, so it was disappointing.
Also, it mentioned that there would be a BBQ lunch, but it was just hamburgers, beans, and snacks! I was imagining meat and seafood, so I was very disappointed. I felt quite let down by participating in this tour.

I participated with my mother on January 5th. It was our first time, and my mother, who is 65 years old and had a past experience of almost drowning in the ocean, was quite anxious at the start.
However, thanks to Dan and Chieko's assistance, we were able to enjoy the experience until the end and see beautiful fish and turtles.
I apologize to the other participants for monopolizing Chieko, but both my mother and I were very satisfied!
My mother, who experienced snorkeling for the first time at 65, gained confidence from it and says every day that she wants to go again soon, haha.
This is an activity that both beginners and experienced individuals can enjoy. While you can visit Hanauma Bay on your own, Dan and Chieko know the best spots, so if you're going, I highly recommend this option.
You can also obtain photos for free from Facebook, making it a nice keepsake.
Dan and Chieko, I look forward to our next time!
1/5に母と二人で参加しました。二人とも初めてで、65歳になる母は昔海で溺れたこともあり、不安いっぱいでのスタートでした。
でも、DanさんとChiekoさんの手助けのおかげで最後まで楽しむことができ、綺麗なお魚や亀を見ることができました。
Chiekoさんを独り占めしてしまい、一緒に参加した他の方には申し訳ありませんでしたが、母も私も大満足でした!
65歳にもなって初めてシュノーケリング体験した母は、自信にも繋がり、早くまた行きたいと毎日言っております笑
初めての方も経験者の方も楽しめるアクティビティです。ハナウマベイは個人でも行けますが、ベテランのお二人だからこそ見どころスポットを熟知されてますので、せっかく行かれるのでしたらこちらがおススメです。

It was wonderful that you both got to swim with the schools of fish and the turtles. We would be happy to assist you again, so please come back for another tour with us. We are always looking forward to seeing you again. Thank you very much. We look forward to meeting you again. Mahalo!!

This was my 20th trip to Hawaii, but I had hardly experienced West Oahu. The farthest I had visited in Hawaii before was Ko Olina, so I was really looking forward to this West Oahu tour.
My husband and I participated, and since we were the only two participants that day, it felt like a private tour. Our guide, Akima, was a charming and wonderful Japanese person who handled four roles: driver, guide, instructor, and photographer, all with a smile.
The tour was packed with activities, including listening to myths related to the sightseeing spots and enjoying beautiful scenery. However, the most memorable part was snorkeling and encountering three sea turtles and a manta ray. According to Akima, seeing a manta ray happens about once a year, so we were very lucky.
We also opted for the photo shoot, and since Akima is an underwater photographer, he took many wonderful pictures of us swimming with the sea turtles, which made us very satisfied.
I heard that fewer people book this West Oahu tour in winter compared to summer, so I think winter is recommended for those who want to enjoy West Oahu in a smaller group and at a leisurely pace.
ハワイは20回目ですが、西Oahuはほとんど経験がありませんでした。今まで訪れたハワイの最西端はKo Olinaまでだったので、今回の西Oahuツアーは期待Max。
夫婦二人で参加しましたが、その日の参加者は私たち二人だけということで、ツアー貸し切り状態でした。
ガイドのAkimaさんは、ドライバー兼ガイド兼インストラクター兼カメラマンと一人で4役をこなす笑顔がチャーミングで素敵な日本人の方でした。
ツアーは、見学場所にまつわる神話を聞いたり、きれいな風景を楽しんだり、盛り沢山でしたが、一番印象深かったのはシュノーケリングでウミガメ3匹とマンタに出会えたことでした。Akimaさん曰くマンタを見たのは1年に1度くらいとのことなので、大変ラッキーでした。
私たちはオプションの写真撮影も申し込んでいたのですが、Akimaさんは水中カメラマンもやっている人なので、ウミガメと一緒に泳いでいるところ等、素敵な写真を沢山とっていただき、大変満足でした。
冬場はこの西Oahuのツアーを申し込む人は夏場に比べて少ないとのことでしたので、少人数でゆったりと西Oahuを楽しみたい人には冬場がお勧めだと思います。
Aloha! Thank you for the review. Thanks to Rocky's luck, it was quite the tour! I was super excited about the manta rays! Thank you! If you come back to Hawaii, I would be happy if you reached out to me!
Aloha,
Akima
アロハ! レビューありがとうございます。
ロッキー様の運のおかげかw まーいろいろ出たツアーでしたね。マンタには私が大興奮でしたw ありがとうございます!
またハワイにお越しの際にはお声をおかけいただければ幸いです!
アロハ

Although we were a bit anxious as it was our first experience with snorkeling, we were able to encounter the wonderful underwater world of Hanauma Bay thanks to the appropriate and courteous guidance of our Japanese instructor.
シュノーケリング初体験の二人で多少不安もありましたが、案内役の日本人インストラクターの適切・丁寧な指導で素晴しいハナウマ湾の海中世界と出会うことができました。
Thank you, Yocchan, for joining the tour with Blue Hawaii Divers. I'm really glad to hear that you enjoyed Hanauma Bay. We would love for you to join us again if the opportunity arises. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
よっちゃん様、ブルーハワイダイバースのツアーにお越しいただきましてありがとうございます。ハナウマ湾を楽しんでいただけて、本当に良かったです。是非また機会がありましたら、リピートしていただきたいと思っております。本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

I enjoyed the Snorkeling tour. It was my first time snorkeling and had the peace of mind that I would not miss anything and I was in good hands. Dan picked us up from the hotel and made us feel very welcome and gave us ideas on other activities to do around the area. Throughly enjoyed it!
Hi Edith, glad you guys had a good time. Hope we get to see you again. Dan.

The morning of the day was a bit chilly, but as the sun came out, it warmed up and became the perfect day for a beach outing. The guide took photos for us, which we could download, allowing us to preserve our memories. The breakfast was also excellent, served buffet-style.
当日の朝はやや寒かったですが、日が照ってくると暖かくなり最高の海水浴日和でした。
ガイドの方が写真を撮ってくださり、それをダウンロードできるようになっており、思い出をかたちに残すことができました。
朝食もビュッフェ形式で最高です。
Aloha! Thank you for joining Captain Bruce's Paradise the other day. I'm truly happy to hear you said it was "the best memory"! We sincerely look forward to the day we can see your smile again, K71. Mahalo!
アロハ!先日はキャプテンブルース天国にご参加ありがとうございました。
”最高の想い出”っておっしゃって頂いて本当に嬉しいです!! またK71様の笑顔にお会い出来る日を心よりお待ちしております。マハロ!

Thank you for participating in the Blue Hawaii Divers tour. The morning tour is particularly cold, so a wetsuit is highly recommended during this time. It was great that you were able to see sea turtles twice. I'm glad you were able to view the underwater photos as well. Please come back to see Dan when you visit Hawaii again. We are always waiting for you.
Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
この度はブルーハワイダイバースのツアーにご参加くださり、ありがとうございます。午前のツアーは特に水温が低いので、この時期にはウェットスーツは本当にお勧めなんです。ウミガメにも2回も会えて良かったですね。水中写真も無事見ていただけたようで良かったです。またハワイにお越しの際にはダン先生に会いに来てくださいね。いつでもお待ちしております。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
