All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

You can solve all the hassle of advance reservations, transportation, parking, ticket purchases on-site, and video viewing. If you're going to Hanauma Bay, this tour is cost-effective, safe, and reliable. At Hanauma Bay, you can see many fish while snorkeling, so we rented just the snorkeling gear on-site and had a great experience with the family.

面倒な事前予約、交通、駐車場、現地でのチケット購入とビデオ視聴が全て解決できます。
ハナウマ湾へ行くならこのツアーがコスパもよく安心で確実です。
ハナウマ湾ではシュノーケリングでたくさんの魚が見れるので、シュノーケルだけ現地でレンタルし、家族で楽しい経験ができました。

This is my second time participating. The singing voices of the two performers on the boat are simply amazing!! While I had fun snorkeling and playing with the fish, I can't forget the live singing. I invited my friends who came with me this time so they could hear this beautiful singing too. The staff members were also kind, and I plan to go to Hawaii again in October this year for a solo trip, so I definitely want to participate even if I'm alone.

2回目の参加です。
船の中で歌ってくれるお2人の歌声がとにかく最高！！シュノーケルでお魚と戯れるのも楽しかったですが　私は生歌がとにかく忘れられなくて　今回一緒に行った友人達にもこの歌声を聞いてもらいたくて誘いました。スタッフの方々も親切で　今年　10月にもまた一人旅でハワイに行くつもりなので　これは1人でも参加したいです。

We traveled on a cruise ship while listening to live music. We stopped in water that was about waist-deep, enjoyed snorkeling and feeding the fish, and then explored by riding kayaks and canoes. After that, we were taken by motorboat to see sea turtles. There were far more tropical fish than at Hanauma, and the sea was beautiful, which was great.

クルーズ船で生演奏聴きながら移動。腰くらいの深さのところで停泊し、シュノーケリング、魚に餌やりなどで楽しみ、カヤックやカヌーに乗って周遊。その後、モーターボートです海亀を見に連れてってくれます。
ハナウマのよりもはるかに熱帯魚多くて海も綺麗で良かったです。

Great staff, great views and great experience!!!!

It was nice they gave us bread to give to the fish :)

The sea was indeed beautiful.

I'm not sure if the coral will regenerate from now on, but currently, it has become hard from being stepped on.

It's shallower than I expected.

海はやはり綺麗でした

サンゴは、これからまた再生するのか分からないが、現状は踏まれて硬くなっていた

思ったより浅いです

There is a shuttle service to nearby hotels, which makes it very convenient! You can also watch videos on the bus, saving time. Once you arrive, they guide you to the beach, so you can feel at ease.

近隣のホテルへの送迎があるのでとても楽です！バス内でビデオの視聴も済ませることができるので時間の節約もできます
到着してからもビーチまで案内してくれるので安心です

I am 60 years old, my wife is 57, and it was our first trip to Hawaii in 30 years. The staff were very kind, explaining the equipment and guiding us through the activities, which made us feel at ease.

私60歳、妻57歳で30年振りのハワイ旅行でしたが、スタッフの方々も親切に道具の説明やアクティビティの誘導など安心して過ごせました。

The ocean was beautiful, anyway! It was a half-day tour, but there was plenty of time, which was great! The snorkeling instructions were thorough, and I felt safe enjoying it! It was a bit cold, and I hesitated, but I was able to see sea turtles, which was amazing!

とにかく海が綺麗でした！半日のツアーでしたが時間的にも余裕があり良かったです！
シュノーケリングの説明もしっかりとあり、安心して楽しめました！少し寒くて躊躇しましたが、ウミガメも見ることができて最高でした！

I have visited Hawaii several times, but this time I found this tour and decided to participate. The ocean is incredibly beautiful, and you can observe small fish swimming around. The waves are gentle, and there are many areas where you can stand, so even those who can't swim can enjoy themselves safely.

It's also great that there are rentals for snorkeling gear, so you don't have to bring your own and can go with ease. Since it's a bit far from the city, access isn't very good, so it might be difficult to get there without a car, but this tour provided transportation to and from the hotel, which was a big help. The bus was clean and comfortable, making for a pleasant experience. I would definitely like to use this service again when I visit Hawaii next time.

ハワイには何度か訪れているのですが、今回このツアーを見つけて参加してみました。海は大変綺麗で小さなお魚が泳いでるとこを観察することができます。波も穏やかでたくさん足のつく場所が多くあるので泳げない人でも安心して楽しめるかと思います。
シュノーケルなどのレンタルもあるので持って行かなくても安心して気軽にいけるのも良かったと思います。少し街から離れているためアクセスがあまりよくないため、車などがないと行くことが難しいと思いますがこのツアーはホテルまでの送迎がありかなり助かりました。バスも綺麗で快適に過ごすことができたので良かったです。またハワイに訪れた際は利用したいと思います。

I participated in a tour of Hanauma Bay in Hawaii, and it was an amazing experience that far exceeded my expectations! The ocean was incredibly beautiful, and I was thrilled to see so many stunning fish up close, especially around the coral reefs. It truly felt like a "natural aquarium," and I couldn't contain my excitement every time I discovered a new fish while snorkeling.

Additionally, the tour was excellent in terms of organization. Individual tickets for Hanauma Bay go on sale two days in advance, which can lead to a scramble if you're trying to book on your own. However, with the tour, I was able to secure my spot in advance, which was the biggest advantage. Furthermore, we were able to watch the mandatory environmental protection video on the bus during our ride, allowing for a remarkably smooth entry upon arrival.

I also appreciated being able to choose the return bus time at my own pace. It made it easy to control my stay based on my condition and satisfaction, resulting in a stress-free and thoroughly enjoyable tour from start to finish!

ハワイのハナウマ湾ツアーに参加しましたが、期待を遥かに超える素晴らしい体験でした！
とにかく海が信じられないほど綺麗で、珊瑚礁の付近を中心に、驚くほどたくさんの美しい魚たちを間近で見ることができて大興奮でした。本当に「天然の水族館」のようで、シュノーケリング中はいろいろな魚を発見するたびにワクワクが止まりません。

また、システム面でもこのツアーは非常に優秀でした。ハナウマ湾の個人予約チケットは2日前からの発売開始なので、自力だと争奪戦になりがちですが、ツアーなら事前に席を確保できて安心して参加できるのが最大のメリットです。さらに、現地で必須となっている環境保護の動画視聴を移動中のバス内で済ませられるため、到着後は驚くほどスムーズに入場できました。
帰りのバスの時間を自分のペースに合わせて自由に決められるのも嬉しかったです。体調や満足度に合わせて滞在時間をコントロールしやすく、最初から最後までストレスフリーで大満足のツアーでした！

By using the tour with transportation, I was able to visit Hanauma Bay, which is difficult to reserve in advance, with peace of mind. Since we could watch an environmental protection video on the bus, we were able to enter smoothly upon arrival and immediately enjoy snorkeling, which was also a great feature. I was moved by the colorful fish in the crystal-clear sea. The view of the emerald green ocean from the high vantage point was beautiful, making it a special time to fully appreciate the charm of Hawaii's nature.

送迎付きツアーを利用したことで、事前予約が難しいハナウマ湾にも安心して訪れることができました。バス内で環境保護ビデオを視聴できたため、現地到着後はスムーズに入場でき、すぐにシュノーケリングを楽しめた点も魅力的でした。透明度の高い海では色とりどりの魚を見ることができ感動しました。高台から見下ろすエメラルドグリーンの海の景色も美しく、ハワイの自然の魅力を存分に感じられる特別な時間になりました。

I was anxious about my first overseas trip, but I felt reassured because there were staff members who spoke Japanese. I was able to participate comfortably. The activities were also enjoyable!

The staff constantly checked in with us and kindly explained various points, so I believe even first-timers can participate with confidence.

Moreover, I was really happy that a staff member approached me and took me to see sea turtles! Thank you very much!

初めての海外旅行で不安だったのですが、日本語を話せるスタッフの方がいたので安心して参加できました。
アクティビティも体験できてとても楽しかったです！

スタッフの方々が常に声をかけてくださったり、ポイントなども丁寧に教えてくださるので初めての方でも安心して参加できると思います。

さらに、スタッフの方に声をかけていただき、ウミガメを見に連れて行ってもらえたことが本当に嬉しかったです！
ありがとうございました！

The sea was very beautiful!! I took a small child with me, and the child had a great time as well. There was plenty of time in the water, and we could play with snorkeling gear and boards until we got tired.

I booked a plan that included lunch, so we enjoyed delicious sandwiches. While on the boat, we enjoyed singing and took in the wonderful ocean views to our heart's content.

とてもきれいな海!!小さな子どもを連れて行ったのですが、子どもも大変楽しんでくれました。たっぷりの水中時間もあって、飽きるまでずっとシューケリングやボードなどを遊べます。
ランチ付きのプランを予約したので、美味しいサンドイッチを頂きました。船では歌を楽しんでいながら外の素敵な海景色を思う存分眺めました。

海の透明度、水の中に入ると色々な種類の魚がいて楽しかったです。現地の方々の接客や歌手の方の歌も心地良かったです。

A special experience. I wouldn't change a thing. Connection with nature and people. Not crowded. Staff helpful Great lunch. The sandbar was my favorite since I am not a snorkeling person. My husband enjoyed the snorkeling experience.

Great team of experts! This was my first time out in the ocean and it was a blast. They know what they’re doing and will make sure you’re safe the whole time. Will definitely check them out again in the future!

Considering the reservation, shuttle service, and parking, I think it's very cost-effective. It was also helpful that we could fit a lot of luggage. We were able to easily get the stroller on from the entrance.

予約、送迎、駐車場のことを考えるととてもコスパがいいと思います。
荷物もたくさん乗せられるので助かりました。
入り口からバギーもすんなり乗れました。

We had such a great time though it was raining and thundering the crew was amazing, the lunch was good and the snorkeling was such a fun time. The hot chocolate such a perfect way to end a cool trip!! Mahalo to the crew!!

The staff were very kind and took great care of me, even though I'm not very good at Japanese.

The atmosphere on the boat was wonderful, and the sea was truly beautiful. I was able to see a lot of fish while snorkeling, and I am very satisfied with that experience.

The banana boat was even more fun than I imagined, and it became a wonderful memory. I definitely want to participate again!

スタッフの方がとても親切で、日本語があまり得意ではない私にも最後まで丁寧に対応してくださいました。

船の雰囲気もとても良く、海も本当にきれいでした。シュノーケリングでは無事にたくさんの魚を見ることができて、とても満足しています。

バナナボートも想像以上に楽しくて、素敵な思い出になりました。ぜひまた参加したいです！

各国の人が集まり、船上ライブで出航から大盛り上がり！
海は美しく、シュノーケリング・カヤック・SUPボードの体験ができ参加して良かったです。私達は2度目の参加でしたが、次回も参加したいと思います。

Amazing trip with fabulous crew , delicious hamburger and good steinlager beer 🌺😁

Minako, who speaks Japanese, was always by our side as our guide, which made us feel very safe and allowed us to enjoy ourselves! We encountered a pod of dolphins twice, and they came right up close, allowing us to see them well. We also encountered turtles and sharks, making for a very memorable experience! Thank you to Captain Brian, guide Sarah, Koha who resembles Bruno Mars, Peter, and Lucas.

日本語が喋れるミナコさんが常につきっきりでガイドしてくださりとても安心して楽しむことができました！
イルカの群れに２回も遭遇できて目の前まで接近してきてよく見れたし、亀とサメにも遭遇してとても思い出深い体験ができました！船長のブライアンさん、ガイドのサラさん、ブルーノマーズ似のコアさん、ピーターさん、ルーカスさんありがとうございました。

There were many participants from various countries on the tour, and this time we were the only Japanese, but we had no particular inconveniences and enjoyed ourselves.

ツアー客は色々な国からの参加者が多く、今回、日本人は我々だけでしたが、
特に不自由することもなく、楽しめました。

Following Kailua last May, this time we went to Hanauma Bay.

For the local tour, we had the following conditions:
- We wanted to arrive by 7 AM, which is the entrance time.
- We wanted to have a longer stay.
- We have our own snorkeling gear, so we needed a tour that didn't include rental costs.

This is why we chose this tour. On the day of the tour, the weather looked questionable, but they kindly agreed to let us start earlier than the scheduled time, which turned out to be a great decision.

Now, about the sea... While the water clarity was high, the reef was disappointing (more like rocky formations than coral), and there were few fish.

Most importantly, it was shallow! Too shallow. If you try to swim, you might end up getting stuck on the rocks. Therefore, wearing long-sleeve rash guards and leggings is a must, along with gloves and marine shoes (fins would be ideal) to avoid injuries.

On the positive side, I've snorkeled in various seas, but this was the first time I saw a red parrotfish, which is a female of the longfin parrotfish species. Be sure to look for it!

Also, since there was a bit of wind, it would be better to have a simple beach tent with pegs instead of just an umbrella.

昨年5月のカイルアに続き、今回はハナウマ湾へ。
現地ツアーの条件として
　・入場時間である7時には現地に着きたい
　・滞在時間を長めにしたい
　・シュノーケル器材一式あるので、費用に含まれていない事
という事で選んだのが今回のツアー。
当日、天候が怪しくなった為、申込時の時刻から早めてもらう事も快諾いただき、大正解でした。
さて、肝心の海ですが・・・・・・透明度は高いものの、リーフが残念（珊瑚というより岩礁）で魚影も少なく・・・・・
何より浅い！浅過ぎです。無理に泳ごうとすると、岩礁に乗り上げます。
なので、長袖ラッシュ＆レギンスはもちろん、手袋とマリンシューズ（できればフィン）が無いと怪我します。
良かった点として、色んな海でシュノーケルしてますが、初めて紅いブダイを見ました。ナガブダイの雌との事。ぜひ見つけてみて下さい。
それと少し風があるので、パラソルではなく、ペグ付き簡易ビーチテントがあると良いですよ。

It's an English tour, but as long as there's one person in the group who understands English, there shouldn't be any problems. (This is because there are explanations about the video on the bus and the meeting times.)

On the way there, we watched a video about entering Hanauma Bay, and the driver shared interesting information about Hawaii. Once we arrived, we were able to pass through the reception quickly since we had already watched the video, and from there, we had free time until the meeting time.

The moment we arrived, the view was incredibly beautiful, and I felt it was worth coming as soon as I saw it. I brought my own snorkeling gear and swam to see the fish. However, there are many rocks in shallow areas, and I got injured while being focused on the fish. Everyone, please be careful.

We took the bus back after 1 PM, and the time flew by. I would love to use this service again when I visit Hawaii next time. It was a lot of fun. Thank you!

英語のツアーですがグループ内に1人英語がわかる人が入れば問題ないです。
(バスの中でのビデオや、集合時間などの説明があるため)
向かっているバスの中で、ハナウマベイに入るためのビデオと、運転手さんがハワイのことを面白く説明してくれました。
着いてからはビデオ鑑賞が済んでいるので受付をすぐに通過でき、そこからは集合時間まで自由時間です。
着いた瞬間にとても綺麗な景色が見えるので最高でした。見た瞬間に来てよかったと思えます。
シュノーケルを持参したので魚を見て泳ぎました。ただ、浅い所に岩が多いので魚に夢中になっていたら怪我をしました。みなさん気を付けて下さい。
帰りは13時過ぎのバスで帰ったのですが、時間はあっという間でした。
次ハワイに訪れた際も利用したいです。
楽しかったです。ありがとうございます。

We got to see plenty of tropical fish and even a sea turtle up close, which was the highlight. As well, the crew was friendly teaching the ropes to the scooters!

I was glad to book a tour with transportation included here! I was worried because the entrance reservations sell out quickly, just two days in advance, so I decided to book this one even though it was a bit pricey. The bus pickup and entrance were incredibly smooth and comfortable. For the return bus, it was originally scheduled for the 3 PM slot, but they were able to accommodate a change to the 1 PM slot on the day of!

Hanauma Bay is fun with lots of fish even in the shallow areas. Although it was already May, the sunlight was weak in the morning, and it was cold due to the strong wind, so I would like to visit again during a warmer time or season. Thank you very much!

こちらで送迎付きツアーを予約して正解でした！2日前の入場予約がすぐ売り切れるとのことで不安だったので、少しお高いですがこちらを予約しました。バスのお迎えも入場もスムーズすぎて快適でした。帰りのバスは、元々15時台の予定でしたが当日13時台に変更も対応していただけました！
ハナウマ湾は浅瀬でもお魚沢山で楽しいです。5月に入っていましたが、午前中は日差しが弱く、風も強くて寒かったため、次はもう少し暖かい時期か時間に行きたいと思います。ありがとうございました！

It was a participation in weather that had rain for the first time in 20 years. The sea was gray, the water was above our chests, and the white sand was invisible. Moreover, due to the extreme cold, we ate cup noodles on the returning boat (laughs). By the way, both of us had slight stomach issues from the cold. On bad weather days, definitely cancel!!

２０年ぶりの雨模様という天候での参加でした。
海は灰色、水は胸以上、白い砂は何も見えず、さらにあまりの寒さに、戻る船でカップヌードル食べました(笑)ちなみに２人とも、寒さでややおなか壊しました。
天候の悪い日は、必ずキャンセルを!!

Had an amazing excursion with Kaneohe! One of the absolute best days spent on the water. Booked with a group of 8 for the afternoon sail, played vball, snorkelled, paddle boarded and a huge thanks to Cal who took us out for a quick boat trip to see turtles and lucky enough to see a tiger shark!! Amazing music by the very talented musicians on board, we sang along to all their songs.. could’ve sailed for all day long! Huge thanks to the entire crew for one of the most memorable days we’ve ever had on vacation xo
