ハナウマ湾シャトルサービス シュノーケリングセットレンタル付き<英語ドライバー>

The importance of coexistence with the natural environment and protecting it. 自然環境との共存、守る事の大切さ

Reviewed by: TSUTOMU

Hanauma Bay itself was a small beach, but I felt the importance of coexistence with nature as there were seals, and the fish didn't swim away. It was a wonderful experience. Additionally, I was able to communicate with people from various countries and generations, which made for enjoyable memories.

ハナウマベイ自体はこじんまりとしたビーチでしたが、 あざらしがいたり、魚は逃げないし、自然との共存、大切さを感じられました。
素晴らしい体験でした。
また、現地喉方対応で様々な国の方、世代の方達とコミュニケーションが取れて楽しい思い出となりました。

ウミガメシュノーケリング ホロカイ・カタマラン号 高確率でウミガメに会えるタートルキャニオンへ!ソフトドリンク&スナック付き<3時間/英語/ワイキキホテル発>

Activities departing from Waikiki Beach ワイキキビーチ出発のアクティビティ

Reviewed by: カタマラン

I have previously been on the Mai Tai Catamaran in front of the Sheraton and the Nohok 2 Catamaran in front of Outrigger Beach. This was my first time here. The reception staff and the yacht crew were the friendliest.

Since I stayed at Hilton Hawaiian Village through a free accommodation experience, I was considering either Holokai in front of Outrigger Reef or Pink Sails in front of the Prince Hotel, but I chose this one due to the departure time.

The snorkeling instructions were in English, so I couldn't understand the details. I recommend watching the videos uploaded by Pink Sails. The snorkeling spot had five other yachts from different companies gathered. On the day, it was windy with some waves, and I heard from the crew that the conditions were a bit tough. I didn't see any turtles, but I was able to see quite a few fish. I think such things can happen when dealing with nature.

After snorkeling, we were given bottled water. The free soft drinks refer to this. Sunscreen is available for free. We raised the sails and enjoyed a refreshing cruise off Waikiki for a while before returning to Outrigger Reef.

 今までシェラトン前のマイタイカタマランとアウトリガービーチ前のナホク2カタマランに乗ったことがあります。こちらは初となります。受付スタッフやヨットのクルーの対応は一番フレンドリーでした。
 無料宿泊体験でヒルトンハワイアンビレッジに泊まったので、歩いていけるアウトリガーリーフ前のホロカイかプリンスホテル前のピンクセイルスどちらかにしようかまよったのですが、出航時間の都合でこちらにしました。
 シュノーケルの注意点は英語でしたので細かいことは分かりませんでした。ピンクセイルスに動画がアップされているので、見ることをお勧めします。シュノーケルをする場所は他社のヨット5隻が集まっていました。当日は風が強く波もありクルーから少しハードなコンディションと聞きました。タートルは見れませんでしたが、魚は結構見ることができました。自然相手なのでそういうこともあると思いいます。
 シュノーケルが終わるとペットボトルの水が渡されました。ソフトドリンク無料というのはこのことです。日焼け止めは無料で使えます。帆を上げて、しばらくワイキキ沖をクルージングし爽快な気分を味わえます。そしてアウトリガーリーフ前へ帰港となります。

Since this activity departs from Waikiki Beach, it doesn't take much travel time, making it easy to schedule within a limited stay. I recommend it for snorkeling and cruising.

I was able to see sea turtles. ウミガメ見れました

Reviewed by: fuka

I enjoyed snorkeling in a place with sea turtles. It was quite tiring, but in the second half, we went cruising on a yacht in the waters of Hawaii. It can be quite rocky, so those who are prone to seasickness might want to be careful. It was interesting to see the process of raising the yacht's sails up close.

ウミガメがいる場所でシュノーケリングを楽しめました だいぶ疲れますが 後半はヨットにのってハワイの海をクルージングです 結構揺れるので船に弱い方は気をつけた方が良いかも ヨットの帆をはる作業が間近で見れ面白かったです

It was fun. 楽しかった

Reviewed by: りこり

The banana boat was fun! They stopped along the way, and I was able to see sea turtles from a distance. The bumper tube was a bit tough, so I think I’m good on that, but I’m glad I got to experience it!

When we were at the meeting point, there was a heavy rain and thunder, which made me anxious, but the sea was clear and sunny. However, it started to rain again later, and the water temperature was a bit low, but it wasn't cold enough to make me shiver, and I enjoyed snorkeling and seeing the fish.

It was also reassuring that there were Japanese staff members and others who could speak Japanese.

バナナボートが楽しかったです!途中で止まってくれ、ウミガメも遠くからみれました。バンパーチューブは若干しんどかったのでもういいかなという感じですが体験できてよかったです!
集合場所にいる時は豪雨で雷もなっていて不安でしたが海の方は快晴でした。ただ途中からまた雨が降ってきて水温も低めでしたが震えるほどは寒くなくシュノーケリングも魚が見れても楽しめました。

The sea was beautiful, and I encountered many fish and turtles. The playful captain caught a seahorse and showed it to us. Although I'm not a strong swimmer, during snorkeling, the female staff member stayed close by, guiding and encouraging me. I was moved by their warm hospitality. I often use Veltra for my travels, and I've never had a bad experience!

The sea of heaven is the coldness of hell. 天国の海は地獄の寒さ

Reviewed by: みやみやっち

Heavenly sea. I went with high expectations. The beauty of the sea is truly wonderful. You can definitely encounter turtles. While snorkeling, I experienced a fantastic view with many beautiful fish swimming around the coral. However, the wind is strong on the sea, and during the rainy season, it rains quite a bit, making it very cold. Since you're on the sea, you can't warm up. I wouldn't recommend going on rainy days during the rainy season. If it's a sunny day, I think you can have a wonderful experience.

天国の海。期待大でいきました。
海の綺麗さはホントに素晴らしい。
亀にもしっかり遭遇出来ます。シュノーケリングは、珊瑚の周りに沢山の綺麗な魚が泳いでいて、素晴らしい眺めを体験できました。
ただ、海の上は風が強く、雨季は結構長く雨が降るので、寒くて寒くて。海の上なんで暖もとれず。雨季の雨の日はお勧め出来ないですね。

Close encounter with a sea turtle. ウミガメと接近

Reviewed by: まりも

In the morning, a heavy rainstorm hit Waikiki, and I was anxious about whether the tour would still take place. By the time we arrived at Kaneohe Bay, it was drizzling, but it cleared up by the end of the tour, and I wished it had improved a few hours earlier.

We had about 15 minutes of waiting time after arriving at the port of Kaneohe Bay, but since it was drizzling and there were hardly any covered areas, I regretted not bringing an umbrella as there wasn't much to see.

Before reaching the sandbar, we stopped at a sea turtle spot and were able to see around 10 to 20 sea turtles. That alone was impressive, but during snorkeling, I got to see a few turtles up close. The staff were all very kind, and there were several who could speak Japanese fluently, which made for a very enjoyable time. I definitely want to participate again on a sunny day.

There was one disappointing point... On the way back, we had to ride the bus without changing clothes, and the air conditioning on the bus was very strong. Even though I wrung out my wet swimsuit, it wasn't completely dry, and putting on dry clothes over it made me increasingly wet, to the point where I was shivering from the cold.

午前中雷がなるほどの豪雨がワイキキを襲い、ツアーをやるのかどきどきしました。カネオへ湾到着時は小雨、ツアー終了時に晴れたためもう数時間早くよくなればなーと思いました。
カネオへ湾の港に到着してから15分ほど出発まで時間があったのですが、小雨で屋根があるところもほぼなく特に見るものもないため傘を持ってくればよかったと思いました。
サンドバー到着前にウミガメスポットに寄り、10~20匹くらいのウミガメを目撃することが出来ました。それだけでも感動しましたが、シュノーケル時には数匹のウミガメを間近で見ることが出来ました。スタッフも皆さんとても親切でカタコトでは無い日本語を話せるスタッフが複数人いたためとても楽しい時間を過ごす事が出来ました。今度は是非晴れた日に参加したいと思います。
残念な点は1点…
帰りが着替えることなくバスに乗るのですが、バスの冷房が強いことです。水着を着たまま絞ったものの完全ではないため、乾いた服を上から着てもどんどん濡れてしまい唇がガクガク震えるレベルで寒くなりました。

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

Great Lunch, OK snorkel

Reviewed by: BCDavis

The captain, crew, boat accommodations were all good - great! But the reason for this excursion was the snorkeling and that was just OK.

First the good: The crew did a fantastic job taking care of us all on the boat. They seamlessly prepped all the food without us realizing they were doing it, and then served it very effectively! It was really good and plenty of it. Gotta be fast to ask for seconds tho as the crew is very efficient cleaning up. The boat ride was also great!

Now the OK: I fully expected the crew would extend their care to the snorkeling adventure and split us up into groups and take us around the coral reef. They did not, and we were left to swim and fend for ourselves not really knowing how to navigate a reef without coming in contact with it, not really knowing what we should be looking for. I "happened" across a turtle that came up from the depths of the coral and almost collided with me... so I saw that one, but not much else because I wasn't sure what I should be looking at.

The cost performance is very good. コスパがとても良いです

Reviewed by: maruco

This tour is conducted in English, but even if your English isn't very good, they kindly assist you using translation software. When purchasing tickets or entering, the driver had informed us in advance that we should buy tickets together with the foreign guests who joined us as part of the same group, which made things really easy. Above all, it's a great value! Compared to Japanese-speaking shuttle tours, it's truly reasonable. There was plenty of time to enjoy, so we were able to relax on the beach until it was time for pickup!

こちらのツアーは、英語での案内になりますが、
英語がそんなにできなくても、翻訳ソフトなどを使って、親切に教えてくれます。実際にチケットを購入したり、入場する際も、相乗りしてきた外国人の方に同一グループとして一緒に購入してあげて欲しいと、あらかじめドライバーさんから申し伝わっているので、本当に楽でした。何よりも、コスパがいい!日本語対応の送迎ツアーと比べて本当にリーズナブル。滞在時間もたっぷりあるので、お迎えまでビーチでゆっくりできました!

Snorkeling and more at the sandbar. サンドバーでシュノーケリングその他

Reviewed by: ちゃちゃまさ

I booked the afternoon trip. Departure at 1 PM (lunch will be served at that time), arriving at the sandbar in about 30 minutes. After that, there will be activities until around 3:30 PM. We chose the bumper tube, which was a fun first experience. After that, you can try kayaking, SUP, and more. During snorkeling, you can see many fish swimming around. This time, the sandy beach didn't appear, but we had a great time. It might be even more beautiful than Hanauma Bay, and I think it's nice that it's not crowded.

午後便を予約しました。13時出港(その際に昼食)、30分程度でサンドバー到着。その後15時30分程度まで、アクティビティとなります。私達は、バンパーチューブを選択、初めての経験で面白かったです。その後は、カヤックやSUP等、何でも体験できます。シュノーケリングでは、たくさんの魚達が泳いでいるのを見ることができます。今回は砂浜は現れませんでしたが十分楽しむことができました。ハナウマ湾より綺麗かもしれませんし、混雑していないのが良いと思います。

Snorkeling is fun. シュノーケリングは楽しい

Reviewed by: REF-3

We participated in mid-October as a couple in our 60s. Among the approximately 20 participants from Japan, everyone except us were newlyweds. There were also couples from Australia who were retired.

Due to the timing, the tide was high, and the white sand was not visible until the tide went out. If you want to walk on the white sand shown in the photos, you'll need to adjust your timing for participation.

However, with the blue sky and sea, the uniquely shaped mountains visible in the distance, and the cheerful hospitality of the crew on board, I felt a sense of liberation. We also saw sea turtles and manta rays. I would like to participate again.

If you're looking for clearer water and a variety of fish while snorkeling, Hanauma Bay might be a better option.

10月中旬に60歳台夫婦で参加。日本から参加された方20名程は、私たち以外新婚さんでした。他にはオーストラリアから来たリタイア後のご夫婦もいた。
時期的に潮が高くて、白い砂が見えるまで潮が引いてはいなかった。写真にある白い砂の上を歩きたければ、参加時期の調整は必要。
でも、青い空と海、視界に見える独特の形をした山、船上クルーの方々の陽気なおもてなしがあり、心が解放された気分になった。ウミガメとマンタも見られた。また参加したい。
シュノーケリング時の海の透明度や見られる魚の豊富さを求めるなら、ハナウマベイの方が良いかも。

Response from the Japanese staff. 日本語スタッフの対応

Reviewed by: うーん

I was grateful for the Japanese staff, but they spoke to me in a casual tone the whole time. You could say it was friendly, but there were moments that felt condescending, which made me uncomfortable. The weather was bad, so I couldn't see the scenery like in the photos, but there were light snacks and other aspects of the service were good.

日本語スタッフがいてくれてありがたかったですが、終始タメ口でした。
良く言えばフレンドリーなんでしょうが、上から目線に感じるようなところもあり私は不快でした。
天気が悪く写真のような景色は見れませんでしたが、軽食などもあり他の対応はよかったです。

Kayaking experience of an elderly couple 初老夫婦のカヤック体験

Reviewed by: ks513

My husband, 71, and I, 64, went kayaking in the Hawaiian sea for about an hour! With Hawaiian music playing, we headed to the sandbar. The water was deep up to my shoulders, which was a bit scary, but thanks to the wonderful people at the sandbar who took care of us, it became a fun memory. I am grateful.

夫71歳、私64歳が、ハワイの海でⅠ時間程、カヤックをやりました!ハワイアンミュジックが流れる中、サンドバーへ。ただ肩までの深さがあり、少し怖かったのですが、お世話してくださったサンドバーの皆様のおかげで、楽しい思い出となりました。感謝しております。

Waikiki Snorkel with Turtles Cruise with Beers & Cocktails - Ke Kai Catamaran

Snorkeling & Turtle Cruise

Reviewed by: Emma

Most of the time it was snorkeling in the water where you can see most of the tiny fishes swimming around. I saw a turtle far away when I came on the boat but still was hard to see (even in the camera). Just saw a turtle do a back flip from a 500 meter distance from our boat. To see it very close or in the water while snorkeling, I think it is mostly luck but had a good time with other people on the boat with drinks and snacks too!

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 depends on the season. 季節によります

Reviewed by: Captain

It seems that the sandy beach only appears during the summer, and without the blue sea and white sandy beach, the activities are the same wherever you go: riding boats, snorkeling, and paddleboarding. Moreover, since there is no beach, activities are conducted by getting on and off the boat.

I participated in late October, which is just before the rainy season, and it often rains in the morning. Since the timing of the tides also varies by season, I think it's best to carefully consider the season and time of day when participating.

写真のように砂浜が現れるのは夏場だけのようで、青い海と白い砂浜がなければ、ボートに乗って、シュノーケリングをして、SUPをして帰ってくる、どこに行っても同じようなアクティビティです。しかもビーチが無いのでボートから乗り降りしてアクティビティを行います。
今回参加したのは10月下旬でしたが、もうすぐ雨期になる時期、午前中は雨が降ることも多いです。まだ潮の満ち引きの時間も季節によって異なるため、参加する季節、時間帯を事前に良く検討しておいた方が良いと思います。

Great experience.

Reviewed by: Jose Pagan

Our first time in Hawaii and first time doing something like this. The staff was amazing, kind, and professional. They made us feel safe and made sure we were having a great time. The snacks and refreshments were great as well. My wife and I had an amazing time seeing dolphins, turtles and even flying fish. Thank you for this experience.

Thanks for making this experience so memorable for us!

Reviewed by: Grace Q

My cousin and I had an amazing time. The stuff was awesome; helpful and fun.
This is a very cool location; we went during high tide and have no regrets of selecting that time slot. The weather was warm, the water was calm and clear. We took advantage of all of the activities; we kayaked, paddle boarded and hung out on the floating platform. The live music was the cherry on top. I would definitely recommend booking this specific tour.
