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＞

Women in their 50s. 50代前後の女性

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

During the break in our company trip schedule, five women in their 40s and 50s participated. After watching a video about environmental awareness, we were mindful of our impact on fish and coral as we headed to the sea. With guidance from Dan and Chieko, we felt very safe and enjoyed snorkeling. Some of our group hadn't been in the ocean for years, but with the wetsuits we borrowed in advance, we swam close to the rocky areas without feeling anxious, allowing us to relax and enjoy swimming. We even encountered two turtles! We left the sea feeling very satisfied. Thank you for accommodating those who wanted to stop by Diamond Head along the way. While we were anxious about how President Trump's visit would affect our schedule, you provided various advice, and everyone was able to return safely to the hotel. Thank you for everything.

サンドバー天使の海　シュノーケリング＆ウミガメウォッチクルーズ　船上のBBQグリルで焼くハンバーガーランチ付き！＜午前／日本語クルー＞

It was fun. 楽しかったです

Reviewed by: 喜多八

Unfortunately, it was cloudy on the day of our visit, but it was great to see so many rays and sea turtles. While snorkeling, I encountered a sea turtle resting in a coral nook, and I was able to touch its shell as it surfaced for air. The shell of the green sea turtle, which was about 60 cm long, had several barnacles on it, giving it a dignified appearance that suggested it was quite old.

当日はあいにくの曇模様で下が、エイやウミガメがたくさん見えたのは良かったです。シュノーケリングの時にはサンゴのくぼみで休んでいたウミガメがいて、息つぎに浮上して来たところで甲羅にタッチすることができました。体長60cmはあろうかというミドリウミガメの甲羅にはフジツボが何個かついていて年齢を重ねていると貫禄がありました。

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

Amazing excursion!

Reviewed by: Husbands from Nevada

This excursion was our first snorkeling excursion in the Pacific Ocean, and it was our first excursion during our trip to O'ahu. The whole experience was outstanding. Veltra called us the day before to confirm the reservation and advise us where to meet the van and when. The driver from Kaimana Tours arrived within the allowed time period, and he was courteous and informative. He told us exactly what to expect when we arrived--including paying the $7.50 park admission fee (per person) completing the conservation education presentation (10-15 minutes, tops), and meeting him afterward (where and when). He passed around a chart of the types of sea life we would see in the bay. The view was breath-taking. The beach was beautiful. The staff were helpful and friendly. The snorkeling was great. Lifeguards were attentive--even using amplified sound at one point to caution some poor swimmers that they needed to move closer to the beach. Afterward, the driver met us when and where he had told us, and we were all on our way back to our hotels.

Captain Bob's Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkeling Tour & BBQ Lunch with Waikiki Pickup

Highly recommend

Reviewed by: Jasmine

I highly recommend everyone to do this excursion! This was probably the highlight of my whole trip to O’ahu during 10/19-10/25. From the hospitality of the staff to the excursion activities itself, I would want to do this every time I come back!

I also met a gentleman (the one that provides entertainment during lunch) and he was making handmade bracelets with palm leaves. If any of the staff can help me out in getting in contact with him - because I recently lost my anklet he made when I came back to the mainland, that would be great!

Other than that, literally best time of my life!!

It was a fun tour. 楽しいツアーでした。

Reviewed by: まいまい

When we arrived at the harbor in Kaneohe Bay, we were hit by a torrential downpour and were worried about whether we could set out to sea, but it stopped after about 10 minutes and we were able to depart safely. The water level was a bit high that day, reaching up to our thighs at the shallowest point. Perhaps because of the rain, the water was cold and slightly murky, but we were able to enjoy the emerald green sea typical of a sandbar.

The hamburger for lunch was surprisingly delicious, and the staff were cheerful, creating a great atmosphere. During the sea turtle watching, we encountered not only sea turtles but also a rare manta ray, and while snorkeling, we were able to swim alongside the sea turtles. Overall, I was very satisfied with the experience.

カネオヘ湾の港に着いたときに土砂降りの雨に見舞われ海に出れるか不安でしたが、10分ほどで止み無事に出港。この日は少し水位が高めで一番浅くて太ももあたりでした。雨が降ったからか水が冷たく少し濁り気味でしたが、サンドバーらしいエメラルドグリーンの海を楽しむことが出来ました。
ランチのハンバーガーも予想以上に美味しく、スタッフも明るくて良い雰囲気で過ごせました。
海ガメウォッチングで海ガメはもちろんレアなマンタに遭遇し、シュノーケリングでは海ガメと一緒に泳げたりと、総合的にはとても満足度が高かったです。

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング　日本語ガイドが海の世界へご案内＜シュノーケルセット／終日＞

Even beginners can enjoy it. 初心者でも楽しめました

Reviewed by: とちぎ

I was a little anxious about whether I could properly dive during my first snorkeling experience, but on the day of the event, I couldn't contain my excitement in front of the great outdoors and the ocean! The weather was a bit chilly with occasional light rain in the morning, so I was really glad I requested a wetsuit!

I personally think it's important to get used to the seawater, especially since I wasn't familiar with it. We practiced with a lecture and learned to put our faces in the water and dive in shallow areas, which allowed us to swim with schools of fish and enjoy snorkeling until the end! There was a little mishap where I lost my wedding ring underwater, and I regretted not taking it off before participating! I apologize for causing concern to the guide! The guide was very reliable and kind, quickly addressing anyone who wasn't feeling well. I would love to participate again when I come back to Hawaii!

初のシュノーケリングで、きちんと潜れるかちょっとだけ不安がありましたが…参加当日、大自然と海を目の前にするとワクワクがとまりません♪天気は朝から時折、少しだけ雨がパラつき、肌寒さを感じたのでウェットスーツ希望してとっても良かった！
まずは海水に慣れることが大切だなぁと、海水に不慣れな私は個人的に思います。レクチャーと水面に顔をつける事潜ることを浅瀬で練習させてもらえ、魚の群れと泳げたり最後までシュノーケリングを楽しむことが出来ました♪途中、結婚指輪を水中でなくすハプニングがあり外してから参加するんだったぁーと反省！ガイドさんにはご心配をおかけしてしまいました！気分の優れない方がいたらすぐに対処してくれたり大変頼もしい、優しいガイドさんでした。また、ハワイに来たら参加したいと思います♪

Katsuo no eboshi (the scientific name is "Physalia physalis") is commonly known as the Portuguese man o' war. カツオノエボシ

Reviewed by: k50

Due to a change in the trade winds a few days ago, my son was stung by a Portuguese man o' war (electric jellyfish) that washed ashore. It was quite a situation, but the beach is truly beautiful and a wonderful place. After receiving first aid, my son relaxed on the grassy area.

I think many Japanese people are not very aware of the dangers of the Portuguese man o' war, so for those with children, it's important to do some image searches beforehand and be cautious not to touch them. It seems that they can wash up not only in Kailua but also in Lanikai and Waikiki. Additionally, jellyfish warnings are issued about 9 to 12 days after a full moon.

貿易風の流れが数日前から変わった影響で流れ着いたカツオノエボシ（電気クラゲ）に息子が刺されて、大変でしたが、ビーチは本当に綺麗で、素敵なところです。
刺された息子は応急処置後、芝生の広場でのんびり休息していました。
日本人はあまりカツオノエボシの怖さを知らないと思うので、お子様連れの方は、事前に画像検索などをして、触ったりしないように注意が必要ですね・・・。
カイルアだけでなく、ラニカイ、ワイキキでも漂着することがあるそう。
また満月の9～12日後はクラゲ注意報が出るそうですよ。

It seems that it is almost never the case that the sand appears at low tide as mentioned in the title. By the way, I heard that there hasn't been any sand visible this year. The crew members are very nice people. I was able to see turtles. The snorkeling was not great, with few fish. If you're bringing small children, make sure to take floaties with you. You should abandon any sweet thoughts of seeing a beautiful sandbar like I did.

In the morning, it was raining, and I felt very disappointed, but by the time we boarded the boat, the rain had stopped and the sun came out! The sandbar had water up to my waist and chest, and I thought it might have been better to check the tide before booking. However, during the snorkeling afterward, it quickly became deep from the sandbar, and I was moved to see corals, fish, and turtles! I booked the package with breakfast, and it was very delicious. The instructors were fun yet efficient. Thank you for the valuable experience!

朝は雨が降っており、とても残念に思っていましたが、船に乗る頃は雨も止み日も出てきました！
サンドバーは水が腰から胸のあたりまであり、潮の満ち引きを調べて申し込んだ方が良かったかなとは思いました。
でも、そのあとのシュノーケリングではサンドバーから一気に深くなりサンゴや魚たちや亀も見れて感動しまた！
朝食付きで申し込みましたが、とても美味しくて良かったです。

I was able to meet many dolphins! ☆ たくさんのイルカたちと会えました☆

Reviewed by: イルカ

It is recommended to do dolphin watching from the second floor, but when I participated, we were on a rather small boat that took the waves head-on, so everyone was feeling quite queasy. Motion sickness medication is a must! Even those who are confident should take it! There were some who still felt sick despite taking it. However, the dolphins are truly amazing. It feels more like being in the same space rather than swimming together, but there were so many of them! At first, I hesitated to jump off the boat, but if you get stuck there, it delays those behind you from jumping in, and someone at the back said they missed seeing the dolphins the first time. However, they do change the order for the second jump. The order of jumping is determined by where you sit, so if you can sit around the middle, you won't be last for both the first and second jumps, making it relatively easier to see the dolphins. I was a bit sad that there were no names like "Dolphin Teacher" or "Turtle Professor" as mentioned in the reviews (laughs), but it was the best experience!! The guide's love for Hawaii and nature really came through. Like a dolphin university, I don't need other activities, but I want to jump in about five times! I wanted to stay in the ocean even longer. It would be amazing if there were longer sessions (extra classes!? laughs)!! I definitely want to participate again.

詳細に『イルカウォッチングなら2階からがオススメ』と書いてありますが、私が参加した時はだいぶ小さな船で、波をもろに受けるので、みんなグロッキーになっていました。酔い止めは必須！自信ある方も飲んでおいた方がいいです！飲んでも酔っている方いました。ただ、イルカは本当にすごいです。一緒に泳ぐというよりは、同じ空間にいる。という感じですが、たくさんいました！最初船から飛び込むのは少し躊躇しますが、そこでつまってしまうと、後ろの方が飛び込むのが遅くなり、一回目後ろの方はイルカに会えなかったと言っていました。ただ、ちゃんと、二回目の時は飛び込む順番を変えてくれます。座った場所で、飛び込む順番が決まるので、真ん中あたりに座れると、一回目も二回目も最後ということは無いので、比較的イルカを見やすいかもしれません。クチコミにあるように、イルカ先生、亀教授という呼び名が無かったのが少し寂しかったです(笑)
が、最高でした！！ガイドさんが、ハワイや自然を愛しているのが伝わってきました。
イルカ大学みたいに、他の種目はいらないけど、5回位飛び込みたい！もっともっと海に居たかったです。中学の内容でもっと長く(居残り授業！？笑)があれば最高です！！
また是非参加したいです。

Thank you, sea turtles. ウミガメ様へ感謝

Reviewed by: 初ハワイアン

I had checked the low and high tides in advance, so I thought I wouldn't be able to walk easily on the sandbar, and that turned out to be true. I think it's best for participants to expect water levels up to about waist height. However, the staff's energy was fantastic, and I thoroughly enjoyed activities like volleyball, snorkeling, and lunch! If you're lucky, you can see a few sea turtles; I spotted five and was able to swim with two of them! Lucky!! One point to note is that it can get quite chilly on the boat when the weather is cloudy, so it's essential to have something to wear on top.

事前に干潮、満潮は調べていたのでサンドバーの上をスタスタ歩くことはできないだろうと思っていたらその通りでした。腰ぐらいの高さまでは普通にあるものだと思って参加された方がいいかと思います。ただ、スタッフさん皆さんのテンションは最高でバレーボール、シュノーケリング、昼食など存分に楽しめました！ウミガメも運が良ければ数匹見れます、私は5匹見つけ、2匹と一緒に泳げました！ラッキー！！1点だけ、移動する際の船の上は天候が曇りだと結構冷えるので、上に羽織るものは必須です。

Captain Bob's Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkeling Tour & BBQ Lunch with Waikiki Pickup

What a great day,!!

Reviewed by: Dan B

The pick up was right on time and was greeted by a very knowledable and talented host who gave us information about the island and the adventure ahead of us. He also sang us songs and got to know each of us. The first part of the adventure was to board 2 katamarans and sail to the sandbar. The crew was also very knowledgeable and made sure we all knew what to do. They spoke many languages so everyone was cut in. The sandbar is amazing where you wade in waste deep water and enjoy the company of other travelers or play water volleyball. After that we boarded the boat and went to see the green sea turtles which we all over the area while the crew prepared lunch. The lunch was a grilled burger which was vert flavorful and juicy. All the fixings were available along with baked beans, potato salad etc. soft drinks, ice tea, hot tea and coffee were free and beer and wine was available for purchase. After lunch we sailed to the reef where we readied for snorkeling. All equipment was available from masks, snorkels, fins and life jackets. The crew kept an eagle eye on all of us to ensure our safety. The snorkeling was wonderful with a nice display of fish and some turtles who didn’t mind us being there. My wife came face to face with a turtle and went above water for air the went back under with the turtle. This was one of the best adventures we’ve had and can be enjoyed by all ages. We had young people and I am 66 years so all ages can enjoy. The crew saw to our every need from helping us to put equipment on to helping the first times who seemed to enjoy it the most. After that we headed back to shore, the bus and our ride home. I can’t say anything but good about this adventure and will do it again next year when we return. The driver, the host and the crew made this a very perfect day for us❤️❤️❤️

This is my second time participating. Last time, I only swam a little because it was my first time snorkeling, but this time I swam around the coral reef. As a result, I was able to swim with sea turtles. I wanted to be taken to the Dragon Palace, but instead of the angelic sea, I felt like I was heading to the real paradise. (Considering my age...) For lunch, the beautiful young captain grilled hamburgers, which were very delicious. Playing volleyball at the sandbar was also fun. Next time, if I have the opportunity, I would like to take photos with the sea turtles again.

今回で、2回目の参加です。
前回はシュノーケリングは、初めてなので少ししか泳ぎませんでしたが、今回は２回目なので、サンゴ礁近の周りを泳ぎました。その結果、海亀と一緒に泳ぐことができました。このまま竜宮城へ連れて行ってもらいたかったのですが、天使の海でなく、本当の天国のへ海に逝ってしまいそうでした。（年齢もそれなりですが・・・）昼食は、美人の若い船長自らの、焼いたハンバーガーでとてもおいしかったです。サンドバーでの、バレーボールも楽しかったです。

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング　日本語ガイドが海の世界へご案内＜シュノーケルセット／終日＞

Very satisfied!! 大満足！！

Reviewed by: なみぷーる

We participated as a family of three, including our 5-year-old child. Although our child attends swimming school, this was their first time swimming in the ocean. Given the saltwater and waves, I was a bit anxious about whether they would manage with the snorkeling gear, but with their strong desire to "swim with turtles," we decided to go for it and signed up.

Despite my worries, our child was full of energy and excitement! There were two guides for our group of three families, totaling nine people. We started with a video about the formation of Hanauma Bay, the creatures that inhabit it, and the rules for enjoying the bay. Although it was in English, the visuals made it easy for children to understand, and there was a multilingual audio guide available.

After that, the guides carefully explained how to put on the gear, making it especially easy for the children to understand. They demonstrated how to breathe and what to do if water got into the goggles. The guides stayed at the front and back of our group, leading us to spots where we could see schools of fish and areas where the honu (sea turtles) live. We were able to encounter the honu at quite a close distance! Both adults and children were thrilled!

The honu moved gracefully through the water, occasionally surfacing to breathe, showing us their adorable appearance. After about an hour of snorkeling, even adults felt tired, but our child, despite it being their first time, managed to keep going without complaining! By the time we reached the beach, they exclaimed, "I'm tired!" and "I can't do it anymore!" but with the guides' support, they completed the experience beautifully.

Afterward, we rested on the beach with some snacks (which were delicious) and hydrated before being taken back to our hotel. We were blessed with great weather and knowledgeable guides who knew Hanauma Bay inside and out, making for a very satisfying snorkeling experience.

If you're worried about whether you can bring a preschooler (ages 5-6), don't worry! It's a lot of fun. Even if your child wants to come out early, the guides are there with you, so it's reassuring.

5歳のこどもを含む親子3人で参加しました。
子供はスイミングスクールに通っているものの、海で泳ぐのは初めて。
塩水&波がある海ですし、シュノーケル用具を装着して、果たしてうまくできるのか・・・些か不安があったのですが、「カメと泳ぎたい！」という本人の強い思いもあり、思い切っても申込ました。
親の心配をよそに、子供はイケイケゴーゴー♪な様子。
私たち家族を含めて3組9人のグループにガイドさんが2人ついてくださいました。
始めにビデオでハナウマ湾の成り立ちから、生息する生物、湾での過ごし方やルールについて学習します。英語ですが、映像でこどもも理解できるような内容で、多言語の音声ガイドもあります。
そのあと、ガイドさんが用具の装着について、丁寧に教えてくれ、こどもにはよりわかりやすく、呼吸の仕方やゴーグルに水が入った時の対処方法などを説明してくれました。
グループの先頭と最後尾にガイドさんが付いてくださり、魚の群れがいるスポット、ホヌ（ウミガメ）が生息しているスポットへと案内してくれ、かなりの至近距離でホヌに遭遇できました！！これには大人も子供も大はしゃぎ！
ホヌは私たちにかまわず、ゆったりと水中を移動したり、時折海面に出て呼吸したりと、とってもかわいらしい姿を見せてくれました。
約1時間のシュノーケリングで大人でも疲れるのですが、こどもは初めてにもかかわらず最後まで弱音を吐かず、やり遂げることができました！！さすがに浜辺にあがるころには「疲れたー」「もう無理ー」と言って、ガイドさんにサポートしていただきながら見事完走しました。
そのあとは、浜辺で水分補給とスナック菓子（これがまた美味しい）をいただきながら、からだを休め、ホテルへと送り届けていただきました。
良い天気とハナウマ湾を知り尽くしたガイドさんに恵まれ、大満足のシュノーケリングでした。
未就学児（5-6歳）連れでできるかどうか心配な方、大丈夫ですよ！！とっても楽しいです。
もしお子さんが途中で上がりたくなっても、ガイドさんが一緒なので、安心です。

The tour was ok. There are a number of things that this group could do to make this a better, more rounded tour. The tour could have picked us up earlier to get us over to Kaneohe and in the water sooner. As it was the tour/adventure felt forced/rushed instead of being a relaxing experience. He equipment provided could have been of a better quality. Perhaps more time snorkeling for what is billed as a snorkelling adventure would have been better. The crew on the boat were good and tried to make things enjoyable for everyone.

The sea was very rough due to the rain the day before, but I was glad to see dolphins and sea turtles! I thought I would like to go again when I come to Hawaii next time♡

前日の雨で海が大荒れで、大変でしたが、イルカ、ウミガメを見れて良かったです！
またハワイに来た時はもう1度行きたいと思いました♡

I participated with my 5-year-old granddaughter, who only has experience in swimming pools. I was a bit worried about snorkeling, but after a thorough briefing, my granddaughter was thrilled to see a variety of colorful fish and turtles eating, as well as experiencing the sensation of swimming alongside them! Thank you so much for taking care of her the entire time until she got cold and we returned to shore. I regret not borrowing a wetsuit. I have previously experienced both scuba diving and snorkeling at Hanauma Bay, but this was the first time I saw turtles up close. It's truly a unique experience that only an expert who knows Hanauma Bay so well can provide. My granddaughter, looking satisfied, said, "I want to go again!" I'm really glad we participated.

プールの経験しかない5才の孫娘と2人での参加でした。
シュノーケルはどうかなと心配もありましたが丁寧なレクチャーの後に、
色とりどりのたくさんの魚、そして亀がエサを食べている様子や水面に顔を出したり亀と一緒に泳いでいるかのような体験に孫は大興奮！
途中で孫が寒くなり岸に戻るまでずっと付きっきりで面倒を見ていただき本当にありがとうございました。
ウエットスーツを借りていればと後悔しています。
私はハナウマ湾で以前スキューバもシュノーケリングも体験していますが今回ほど亀を間近に見たのは初めてでした。
さすがハナウマ湾を知り尽くしている達人ならではですね。
「また行きたい！」と満足そうな孫娘、参加して本当に良かったです。

It's okay for beginners. 初心者でも大丈夫

I was really looking forward to this snorkeling during my trip to Hawaii. However, once I got into the water, I became scared of the waves and felt weak. After just a few minutes, I declared that I would wait on the beach, but they kindly taught me and I was able to enjoy snorkeling safely. Throughout the snorkeling, they held my hand, and I can't find words other than gratitude.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to see any turtles, but I'll save that for next time. When I go back to Hawaii, I definitely want to do this again.

今回のハワイ旅行は、このシュノーケリングを一番楽しみにしていました。
でも、いざ海に入ると波が怖くて途端に弱気に…。
開始数分で、ビーチで待ってますと宣言したところ、丁寧に教えてくださり、なんとか無事シュノーケリングを楽しむことができました。
シュノーケリングの最中はずっと手を握っててくださり、感謝以外の言葉が見つかりません。

残念ながら亀を見ることはできませんでしたが、それは次回の楽しみにとっておきます。
またハワイに行った時は、絶対に行きたいです。

イルカ中学　野生のイルカ＆ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ　高速ボートでイルカ遭遇率アップ！＜少人数制／ワイキキ＆コオリナ送迎可／日本語／ランチ付き＞

Disappointed. がっかり

Reviewed by: おさむ

The waves were choppy due to the rain, and I got seasick! The water was murky, so I couldn't see any dolphins! The water temperature was low, and it was really cold, which was disappointing!

雨の影響で波があり、酔いました！水も濁ってイルカに逢えませんでした！ 水温も低く凄く寒くて残念でした！
