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＞

There are a lot of fish. お魚がたくさん

Reviewed by: のぶりん

As expected from Hanauma Bay, where regulations are well established, the number of fish was incredible. I've snorkeled several times in the beautiful waters of Okinawa, but it doesn't compare. Hanauma Bay is full of colorful fish whose names I don't know, including the Yagara. Unfortunately, I didn't encounter any sea turtles, but it's definitely a place I want to visit again. I hope to go before I get too old. Since I'm not very good at English, I really appreciated the guidance in Japanese. It allowed me to focus on observing the fish with peace of mind.

さすが規制がきちっと整っているハナウマ湾なだけあってお魚の数がはんぱではなかった。
沖縄の海もきれいなので何度かシュノーケルをしましたが、比になりません。
ハナウマ湾は名前のわからないカラフルな魚・ヤガラなどなど、とにかく多いです。残念ながらウミガメに遭遇することはできませんでしたが、是非また行ってみたい場所です。そんなに歳とらないうちに行きたいな。
英語があまり得意ではない私は、日本語での案内がとても良かったです。安心して魚観察に夢中になれました。

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＞

The expert is on summer vacation... 達人はサマーバケーション中で・・・

Reviewed by: Sigg

Unfortunately, the expert was on summer vacation, and other individuals (mainly scuba diving instructors) took over. On the day of the tour, the low tide caused the coral to be exposed above the water's surface. We were able to see some fish, but we did not observe any sea turtles. I appreciated the thorough explanations and attentiveness throughout the experience.

By the way, thanks to this tour, we were able to enter in an instant, but if you try to line up normally, it can be quite a hassle. Even if you don't choose this option, I think it's better to go with a tour.

残念ながら達人はサマーバケーション中で別の方々（主にスクーバダイビングのインストラクター）が担当してくださいました。
当日は干潮のせいで、サンゴが海面から出てしまうほどでした。
魚はいくらかは確認できましたが、ウミガメは観察できませんでした。
終始丁寧な説明と気配りをしていただけて良かったと思います。

ちなみに入場まではこのツアーのおかげで一瞬で入れましたが、普通に並ぼうとすると大変なことになりますので、これを選ばないにしてもツアーで行った方が良いかと思います。

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

Amazing views...like a postcard!

Reviewed by: Katie Morales

We loved snorkeling at Hanauma Bay! We could see fish all around us in waist-deep water, and even though it was busy, there was plenty of space to have our own experience. The food in the snack bar was good (although a little pricey), and I liked that we could rent life jackets and stoppers for our snorkels from the company once we got there. Just make sure you bring extra money for the entrance fee, tram (it saves a lot of uphill walking), equipment rental, and food. You can also bring food on the beach, so pack some snacks and water to save some cash.

サンドバー　キャプテンブルース　天国の海®︎シュノーケリングクルーズ　SUPや浮き輪などレンタルアイテムも！＜午前・午後／日本語クルー＞

It was absolutely great, but... 最高に良かったが･･･

Reviewed by: あばれるちゃん

I was able to see sea turtles five times! The guide was also enjoyable! The tide was just right, and the water at the sandbar was about 20 cm deep, so I am very satisfied.

However, couples on their honeymoon should be cautious.

After arriving at the sandbar, we were made to take group photos. I was surprised to find myself waiting in line at the sandbar.

I rated it two stars, but overall, I would like to give it five stars; however, I had to rate it this way because I really disliked this particular point.

ウミガメは5回会えました！ガイドの人も楽しかったです！
潮の具合もよくサンドバーでは足元20cmぐらいの深さでしたので大変満足してます。

ですが、2人きりのハネムーナーの方は注意してください。

サンドバー到着後に団体ごとに集合写真を撮らされます。
サンドバーで行列に並ばされたことには驚きました。

星評価２にしてますが総合的には5をつけたいぐらいですが、
どうしてもこの点だけが嫌でしたのでつけました。

This is my second time at Captain Bruce's. キャプテンブルースは2度目

Reviewed by: おけいはん1109

I wanted to see that beautiful heavenly sea once more, so this time I joined the morning tour. The sandbar had quite a bit of water up to my waist before high tide, and there were few fish for snorkeling, plus I didn't see any sea turtles... I think the early morning tour I took last time was better, even though it was a bit colder; the water level was lower, there were more fish, and I was able to see sea turtles, which was really moving! However, I thought the staff's service and Captain Bruce's meals were good.

もう1度あの美しい天国の海をみたくて今回は午前ツアーに参加しました。サンドバーも満潮前で割と腰迄水が有りシュノーケリングも魚は少なくホヌも見れず…前回の早朝ツアーの方が多少寒くても水位が低く魚も多くホヌもみれて感動したかな⁈でもスタッフの対応やキャプテンブルースの食事は良かったと思います。

In the midst of the blue sea... 青い海の真っただ中で・・・・

Reviewed by: 三丁目

After surpassing our sixtieth birthdays, my spouse and I decided to join this tour without considering our age, and the result was an experience that exceeded our expectations, turning into an incredibly enjoyable adventure. At the sandbar, the crew set up a volleyball game and casually invited participants to join in, and despite our age, we jumped right into the fun and had a great time (though perhaps some others were annoyed?).

During the sea turtle watch, we not only saw sea turtles but also spotted three manta rays at the same time, making it a truly satisfying tour. However, the BBQ lunch? It was just hamburgers, so was that really BBQ? While it’s true that meat was grilled on the boat...

Overall, the crew and guides were exceptionally cheerful, and we had a fantastic time. Even in our sixties, we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. Thank you very much!

還暦を過ぎた夫婦二人、年も考えずにこのツアーに参加しましたが、結果は大満足を通り越して大大満足の楽しいツアーとなりました。サンドバーではクルーの方々がバレーボールのセッティングをし、参加者に気軽に呼び込みをされており、年も考えずに輪の中に入りましたが、それはそれで結構楽しみました。(他の人たちは迷惑がっていたかも?)
また、ウミガメウォッチでは、ウミガメはもちろん、マンタがそれも三匹も同時に見られ、納得のツアーとなりました。
ただ、BBQランチ?は、ハンバーガーだったので、あれがBBQ?
確かに船上で肉は焼かれてましたが・・・。
全体的に、クルーやガイドも底抜けに明るく大変楽しかったです。６０代でも十分に楽しめました。有難うございました。

Amazing time

Reviewed by: Peter

When I was looking for a snorkeling trip online Veltra's website came up. They had great reviews regarding their trips. So I booked a trip for the last day of our vacation, and I couldn't have ended our vacation any better. Our guides took us out to turtle canyon and let us snorkel in the water exploring the reef. We even were able to see a few sea turtles. Our favorite part was after you get done snorkeling, they take you out for a quick little sailing trip around the bay. I would definitely book another trip through these guys.

Reviewed by: エリキャ1982

I checked the tide schedule carefully before making a reservation and decided that the morning of this day would be the best! I made the reservation three months in advance, so I was a bit anxious, but I was very satisfied to see a stunning sandbar. The staff took a lot of fun photos for us, thank you very much.
After arriving at the port from the bus, we were served some light snacks like bread. Lunch was also provided around the time for snorkeling, and both were fairly tasty.
I felt that snorkeling wasn't as free and playful as I had hoped, but I was really happy to swim alongside a baby sea turtle that passed by.

予約する前に潮の満ち引きをちゃんと調べてこの日の午前中がベスト！とみて予約しました。予約したのが3ヶ月前だったから不安でしたが見事ばっちりのサンドバーが見れて大満足です。スタッフの方が楽しい写真をたくさん取ってくれて、ありがとうございました。
バスから港に着いて、軽くパン等が出ました。シュノーケリングの頃合いで昼食もでました。どちらもまあまあ美味しかったです。
シュノーケリングはたくさん自由に遊べる感じではなかったので、こんなものかぁという感じは少しあったけど、ウミガメの子どもが近くを通りすぎて一緒に泳げて嬉しかったです。

The sea is too beautiful! きれいすぎる海！

Reviewed by: まぁさん

We participated as a couple on our honeymoon.

On the day we joined, as I had researched beforehand, the water was about waist-deep even in shallow areas, and it felt great to walk in the beautiful, clear sea under the blue sky. Regarding snorkeling, I can swim, but it was difficult to swim in the flowing sea without being able to touch the bottom. It was hard to breathe until I got used to the equipment, and I almost bumped into others while moving as a group, which posed a risk of drowning. I believe one should be aware of these risks before participating. I write this seriously, but if you think, "I can probably swim, so it should be fine," it might be better not to take the challenge lightly. After all, if an accident happens, it ruins the fun you were looking forward to. This sentiment was reflected in the staff's words when they explained snorkeling on the boat. Even though the atmosphere on the boat was relaxed throughout, it was tense during this explanation. However, that was reassuring. The staff provides solid support, so if you can swim, I encourage you to give it a try. Since sandbar walking comes before snorkeling, it might be a good idea to check your swimming ability lightly during that time.

At first, I struggled to breathe until I got the hang of it, and I felt a bit of fear, but as I got used to it, I was able to enjoy watching the corals and the fish swimming underwater. I brought an underwater camera, but it was difficult to take pictures of the fish while swimming. By the way, I brought a waterproof disposable camera from Japan, but they were also available for sale on the boat. Additionally, during sandbar walking, the staff took photos with a DSLR camera, and at the end, they offered prints for sale. If you have a waterproof camera, you can also hand it to the staff to take pictures for you.

The highlight of this tour, the BBQ lunch, was delicious, especially the chicken and chili beans, and I ended up going back for seconds. There was plenty prepared, so it seemed fine to go for seconds. The staff performed hula dancing, and while we were eating, a sea turtle unexpectedly approached the boat, creating a pleasant and enjoyable atmosphere. Since transportation to and from the hotel is included, you can participate in light clothing, just wearing a cover-up over your swimsuit. You only need to bring minimal items: a towel, sunscreen, a waterproof camera, and a little money (since there are photo sales). You take off your beach sandals before boarding the boat and place them in a container. I considered bringing reef shoes but ultimately decided against it. Most people went barefoot. If you have foot injuries or concerns about injuries, it might be worth considering bringing shoes. Perhaps because the water depth was significant and it wasn't a complete sandbar that day, walking barefoot didn't hurt at all. On the boat, you keep your belongings in a container under your seat. Since the container is shared, having a zippered plastic bag can be convenient. After snorkeling, you get quite cold, so a cover-up is essential.

If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely participate! This time, due to scheduling, it happened to be a day with deeper water, but next time, I want to walk on a beautifully exposed sandbar. And I hope to have the same cheerful and fun staff as this time. I became a big fan of staff member D, who looks like a complete foreigner but speaks fluent Japanese and is always joking! Thank you for the wonderful memories in Hawaii! Mahalo!

ハネムーンで夫婦2人で参加しました。

参加した日は事前に調べた通り、浅い所でも腰ぐらいの深さでしたが、とてもきれいな透き通った海と青空の中を歩けて気持ちよかったです。
シュノーリングについてですが
私は泳げないわけではないですが、足がつかず、しかも流れのある海の中を泳ぐのは難しかったです。
道具も慣れるまで呼吸がしにくかったり、集団で移動する為に周りの人とぶつかりそうになったりで、下手すれば溺れるおそれもあり
そのリスクを承知の上で参加すべきだと私は思いました。
あえてシリアスに書きますが、たぶん泳げるからたぶん大丈夫だろう…という感じなら安易に挑戦しない方が良いのかも知れません。
せっかく楽しみにして行っても事故が起こっては台無しですからね。
それは、船上でシュノーケリングについて説明をするスタッフの言葉にも表れていたのでしょう。
終始お気楽な雰囲気が流れていた船上でも、この説明の時だけはピリッとしていました。
でも、それが逆に心強かったです。しっかりスタッフがサポートしてくれるので、泳げる方であればぜひ挑戦してみてください。
シュノーケリングの前にサンドバーウォーキングなので、この時に自分は泳げるのか軽く泳いでチェックしておくと良いかも知れませんね。

はじめはコツをつかむまで呼吸がうまく出来ずちょっと恐怖心もありましたが
慣れてくるとサンゴや海中を泳ぐ魚をしっかり見て楽しむことができました。
水中カメラを持参したのですが、泳ぎながら魚を撮影するのは難しいですね。
ちなみに私は日本から防水の写ルンですを持参しましたが、船上でも販売していました。
また、サンドバーウォーキング中にスタッフが一眼レフカメラで撮影をしてくれ、最後にそれをプリントして販売もありました。
ちなみに防水機能つきカメラであればスタッフに渡して撮ってもらうことも可能です。

このツアーの目玉でもあるBBQランチはチキンとチリビーンズがとても美味しくおかわりしちゃいました。
かなりたっぷり用意してあるのでおかわりガツガツしても大丈夫そうでした。
スタッフがフラダンスを踊ってくれたり、食事をしてるといつの間にかウミガメが船に寄ってきていたり、和やかな雰囲気で楽しいひと時を過ごせました。
行き帰りホテルまでの送迎つきですので、水着の上に上着を羽織る程度の身軽な服装で参加可能です。
荷物も最小限、タオルと日焼け止め、防水カメラに少しのお金(写真の販売などもあるので)というくらいで大丈夫です。
ビーチサンダルは船に乗る前に脱いでまとめてコンテナに入れて置いていきます。
リーフシューズを用意しようかとちょっと迷いましたが結局持っていきませんでした。
ほとんどの方は裸足です。足にケガをしていたり、ケガの不安のある方は用意を検討しても良いかと思います。
この日は水深があり完全なサンドバーではなかったからかも知れませんが、裸足で歩いても痛いということはなかったです。
船上では荷物は席の下のコンテナに入れておきます。コンテナは共同で使うので、口の閉まるビニールバッグなどがあると便利です。
シュノーケリング後はかなり体が冷えるので上着は必須です。

またハワイに行く機会があれば絶対参加したいです！
今回はスケジュールの都合上、水深の深い日になってしまいましたが、今度はきれいに出現したサンドバーを歩きたいですね。
そしてその時もまた今回と同じ明るく楽しいスタッフで。
見た目は完全な外国人、でも日本語ペラペラでジョークばかりの陽気なスタッフDさん、大ファンになりました！
素敵なハワイでの思い出をありがとうございました！マハロ！

Since the main restaurant was fully booked and I couldn't make a reservation there, I booked this one instead. I wasn't expecting much, but it was great! The barbecue on the boat (hamburgers) was incredibly delicious and impressive. However, I participated in May, and it was very cold. When the sun was out, it was bearable, but when the clouds came, it was really cold, to the point where it took courage to go into the sea. I got stung by a jellyfish, but thanks to the kind staff, I felt very reassured. They properly treated me. I was also moved to see sea turtles up close! I want to go again when the weather is nice.

本家のほうが満員で予約がとれなかったので、こちらを予約しました。期待していなかったのですが、良かったです！
船上でのバーベキュー（ハンバーガー）がとっても美味しく感動しました。
ただ、５月の参加でしたがとても寒かったです。太陽が出たら、まだましなのですが、雲が出てきたら本当に寒くて、海に入るのも勇気がいるほどです。
クラゲに刺されてしまったのですが、日本人の親切なスタッフさんがいたおかげで、とても安心でした。キチンと処置もしてもらえました。
ウミガメも近くで見れて、感動しました！天気が良い時に、また行きたいです。

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＞

I was able to meet a honu! ホヌに会えました！

Reviewed by: 新婚仮面

We participated as a couple in the afternoon. There were also two girls, making a total of four people, and our guide was a Japanese woman. (I later heard that "master" Alan was not in Hawaii at the time and that he was replaced by another tour guide.)

From the hotel pickup to Hanauma, our guide shared information about the Waikiki area along the way, providing a smooth and reassuring experience. After arriving at Hanauma Bay, we watched an environmental protection video and took a tram to the beach.

We were lent snorkeling gear, fins, and life jackets, and they kindly explained how to use them. (Actually, the day before, I had gone on a completely different optional tour where there was no rental of fins or explanation of precautions, and my husband injured his foot on the rocky seabed, so this was very reassuring.)

Once we started snorkeling, we swam almost from one end of the bay to the other, guided by our tour guide. Along the way, we encountered a honu at a spot where they are often seen! I heard that earlier that same morning, they hadn’t seen any honu, so we were lucky. We enjoyed the beautiful sea of Hanauma while watching various fish and corals, and I truly felt it was great to participate.

The guide maintained a comfortable distance, and overall, I was very satisfied. It was a tour that made me want to come back to Hanauma Bay again. Thank you very much.

夫婦で午後から参加しました。ほかには、女の子二人組の計４名で、日本人女性のガイドさんでした。(あとで聞いたところ、「達人」のアランさんはちょうどハワイにいなかったそうで、代わりにツアーガイドをされているとのことでした)

ホテルでのピックアップから、ハナウマまでの道のりでは、ワイキキ周辺の情報を所々でお話してくださり、スムーズなガイドで安心感がありました。ハナウマ湾に到着後は、環境保護のビデオを見て、トラムに乗ってビーチへ。

シュノーケルとフィン、ライフジャケットを貸していただき、その使い方まで丁寧に教えてくれました。(実は、前日に全く別のオプショナルツアーでも、シュノーケリングをしたのですがフィンの貸出や注意事項の説明がなく、夫が海の岩場で足裏をケガしていたので、心強かったです。)

シュノーケリング開始してからは、ガイドさんに誘導されながら、湾のほぼ端から端までを全員で泳ぎました。その途中、よくいるというスポットでホヌに遭遇！同じ日の午前中は、ホヌに会えなかったそうで、ラッキーでした。ほかにも様々なお魚と珊瑚を眺めながら、ハナウマのきれいな海を満喫できて、参加できて本当に良かったと思います。

ガイドさんの距離感もほどよく、総合的にとても満足できました。またハナウマ湾に来たいなと思えるツアーでした。ありがとうございました。

Dan and his wife were great! We had two cars because we were a party of 7. Dan was my driver and he was very good at giving us a mini tour as we were driving to Haunama Bay. Once we arrived, we didn't have to stand in line at all. We went into a mini theater to watch a 9 min video orientation. Then we were off. We went down to Hanauma Bay via a trolly. He and his wife explained how to use our gear and made sure it was all on properly. We all had a great time. This was definitely a fun activity to do as a family. The underwater views were amazing. If you don't have a waterproof camera, its fine. Dan takes a bunch of pictures and uploads them on to his website/facebook page and gives you the link, so you can view them. Don't worry if you don't know how to swim, we had a couple people in our party who didn't know how to and they were just fine. Dan, thank you. We will definitely choose you again! :) -Mahalo!

It was cold!! 寒かった!!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated in early May. On that day, Waikiki was sunny, but Kaneohe was cloudy with occasional rain. Perhaps because the weather wasn't good, it was very cold both on the boat and in the water. Everyone wrapped their jackets and towels around themselves to somehow endure the cold, wind, and rain; it felt like a training session. There were no seats available that could shield us from the rain and wind, so I was standing the whole time on the boat, which was tiring. It was disappointing that the price didn't match the experience...

5月上旬に参加しました。当日、ワイキキは快晴でしたが、カネオヘは曇り時々雨でした。天気が良くなかったからか、船上も水中もとっても寒かったです。全員持参した上着やタオルを体中に巻いてなんとか寒さと風と雨をしのぎ、まるで修行のような時間でした。雨&風を防げる座れる席がなかったため、船に乗っている間中、ずっと立ちっぱなしで疲れました。値段と割が合わなくて残念でした…。

After the wedding went off without a hitch, we spent the next day at the sandbar, having safely delivered our family and guests to the airport. However, despite the clear weather the day before, it rained on and off that day, and the temperature was low, so we ended up shivering as we entered the sandbar. Still, since it was the day after such a significant event, it became a nice memory for us to relax and enjoy together.

結婚式が無事に終わり、家族や参列者を無事に空港まで送り届けた翌日の二人の時間をサンドバーで過ごしました。
しかしながら、前日までの晴天もこの日は雨が降ったり止んだりで気温が低く、折角のサンドバーもブルブル震えながら入る事になりました、、、
それでも無事に終わった一大イベントの翌日なので、二人でゆっくり楽しめた事はいい思い出になりました。

The sandbar was about knee-deep, but it was incredibly beautiful and I was moved. If you ask the instructor, they will take wonderful photos for you. The meal afterward was hearty and very delicious!

When we arrived at the snorkeling spot, everyone jumped in and started swimming. Many people gave up because it was cold, but the water was warm and there were plenty of fish, so I recommend swimming.

At that time, I was lucky enough to see a sea turtle that was either sleeping or just staying still, and I was able to see it up close!

午後の部に参加しました。
お天気がとても良く、インストラクターの方も日本の方なので安心でした。
60人くらいが一気に同じ船に乗ります。
ほぼ新婚の方かカップルの方ばかりです。

サンドバーは膝上くらいでしたが
とっても綺麗で感動しました。
インストラクターの方に頼めば
素敵な写真も撮ってくださいます。
そのあとのご飯もボリュームがあり
とても美味しくいただけました！

そしてシュノーケリングする場所に到着し
各々飛び込んで泳いでいきます。
寒くて断念している方も多かったですが
海の中は暖かく、魚もたくさんいるので
泳ぐことをおすすめします♡

このときは泳いでいるところにちょうどウミガメが寝ていた？のかじっとしていたのですごく近くで見ることができて
ラッキーでした♡

I couldn't see the sandbar, but... サンドバーは見れなかったですが・・・

On the day I participated, due to the tides, the water was at least knee-deep at its shallowest, so I couldn't see the sandbar. However, I was able to see many beautiful fish while snorkeling, and the hamburger for lunch was really delicious.

参加した日は潮の満ち引きの関係で1番浅くても膝ぐらいまで水があり、サンドバーは見れなかったのですが、シュノーケルでは綺麗な魚も沢山見ることが出来たし、お昼のハンバーガーもすごく美味しかったです。

Positive aspects: The cheerful local guide in the blue T-shirt made a great impression, and during lunch, he played the guitar and sang beautifully. The snorkeling was also a lot of fun with plenty of fish around.

Negative aspects: The boat was very cold, and people around me were shivering while eating. The snorkeling gear was reused, and although it was soaked in disinfectant, many of them were still dirty with foundation and other residues. It would be impossible for someone who is sensitive about cleanliness. Additionally, the water in the two simple toilets on the boat did not flow at all, which was the most troublesome issue.

良かった点・・・青いTシャツを着た陽気な現地ガイドのおじさんはとても印象が良く、お昼ご飯の時もずっとギターの弾き語りをしてくれ、歌もとても上手でした。シュノーケリングも魚が沢山いて、とても楽しかったです。
残念だった点・・何しろ船上が寒い。周りの人も震えながらご飯を食べていた。スノーケルが使い回しの物なので、消毒液に浸かってはいるが、ファンデーションとかがべったり付いたままの不潔な物が多い。神経質な人にはまず到底無理。あと船に二つある簡素なトイレの水が一切流れず、それが一番困った。

Best experience ever. I don't swim great and have a fear of being in deep water. But Dan made the adventure comfortable. Kids loved it.
