The water clarity was low, but I had a great time. 海の透明度は低かったけど楽しかったです

Reviewed by: みさ

I booked for the early morning time slot in late August. The shuttle bus was fine for everyone to wear light clothing, like swimsuits and rash guards. After arriving at the boat, we moved a little further to reach the sandbar, where we first had a short snorkeling session for those who wanted to participate. We were able to see turtles.

After that, we had free time to walk around or rent things like stand-up paddleboards, and everyone enjoyed taking photos. On the boat, each person received one spam onigiri, and there were no limits on potato chips and various cold and hot drinks, which we could eat and drink at our leisure.

Since it was a bit cloudy that day, the sea temperature was low, and my body felt cold, so the cocoa was really delicious and appreciated. I think the sea varies depending on the weather and time, but honestly, Waikiki Beach is prettier. However, the staff were all nice and fun, and overall it was a really enjoyable experience, so I definitely recommend trying it at least once!

8月下旬朝イチの時間帯で申し込みました。
送迎のバスはみんな水着にラッシュガードを羽織った感じの軽装で大丈夫です。
船場に到着してからまた少し移動して、サンドバーに到着してからまずは希望者のみで少しの距離をシュノーケリング。亀が見れました。
その後は自由時間で歩くのも良し、SAPなどを借りてやるのも良しという感じで、みんな写真を撮りながら楽しみました。
船には一人一個スパムおにぎりと、個数制限なしのポテトチップスや冷たい飲み物、暖かい飲み物が色々用意されており、好きなタイミングで食べ飲みできます。
この日は少し曇り気味だったこともあり海の温度が低く、身体が冷えていたためココアなどがすごく美味しくありがたかったです。
海は天候や時間によると思いますが写真のような感じではなく、正直ワイキキビーチの方が綺麗だな〜という感じでした。
でも、スタッフの皆さん良い人で面白くて、全体的にすごく楽しかったので是非一度経験されることをおすすめします！

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＞

As a beginner, I was able to participate alone! 初心者、一人でも参加できました！

Reviewed by: Yuri

I am a woman in my 30s, and this was my first solo trip to Hawaii. I really wanted to try snorkeling at least once in my life, so I decided to participate. There were 9 participants that day, and only 2 of us were solo travelers, including myself. There were 2 instructors, both of whom spoke fluent Japanese, which made me feel at ease. It seems that it's quite difficult to make reservations for Hanauma Bay these days, so it was a good decision to book through this service. They also took photos for us, which helped create wonderful memories. It took a lot of courage for a beginner like me to join alone, but I am grateful for the warm welcome! I didn't see any turtles, but I was very satisfied with the many fish I got to see.

私は30代女性で今回初めてハワイ一人旅をしました。
どうしても人生で一度シュノーケリングをしたくて参加させていただきました。
当日は9人参加で1人参加は私を含めて2名でした。
インストラクターは2名でどちらの方も日本語がペラペラで安心できました。
ハナウマ湾は今はなかなか予約が取れないみたいなのでこちらでお願いして正解でした。
写真も撮っていただいてとても良い思い出を作ることができました。
なかなか初心者一人参加は勇気が必要でしたが、受け入れていただいて感謝です！
タートルは見れませんでしたが、沢山のお魚を見れて大満足でした。

Amazing experience!

We were going back and forth on which boat to go with and we were so happy we chose this one! The staff were amazing. So friendly and informative and helpful. The live music was amazing and made experience that much more special! They had refreshments and donuts complementary. There we was snorkelling, kayaking, paddle boards and a dock to chill at when you arrived. When we were there we looked around at the other boats and they honestly had nothing going on lol. Would definitely recommend going with them for this experience :)

ウミガメシュノーケリング　モアナ号　広々快適な大型カタマラン船でリラックス！アルコール含むドリンク購入可　貸切プランあり＜3時間／英語／ケワロ湾発＞

A fulfilling snorkeling experience where I even got to see sea turtles. ウミガメにも会えた充実したシュノーケリング

Reviewed by: かず

Generally, I think it's rare to encounter sea turtles while snorkeling. Here, they might be feeding them? I saw two sea turtles swimming normally, but there were more than five on the ocean floor, and I had a great time. The phrase "you will definitely see them!" seems to be true. You must wear a floatation device and cannot dive underwater, but I still had a lot of fun. If you can't speak any Japanese, it might be a bit challenging for those who don't speak English!

大概、ウミガメに会えるというシュノーケリングで、そうそう会えることもないのではと思う。
ここでは、餌付け？をしているのか、普通に泳いでいるウミガメは２匹だったが、海底にはそれ以上の５匹のウミガメがおり、楽しく過ごすことが出来た。
確実に会える！というフレーズは、確かだと思う。
浮きを必ず着用しなければならず、海中に潜水することは出来ないが、楽しく過ごすことが出来た。
日本語が全く使えないので、英語が話せない人は少し厳しいかも！

The water depth was deeper than my waist, but I had a great time. 水深は腰より深かったが、楽しめました

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

The boat was large, so it didn't sway at all, and we enjoyed drinks, donuts, and live music on board. I had signed up for a tour that was supposed to coincide with low tide, but we couldn't see the sandy beach, and the water depth was about to the chest of an adult. However, with this depth, it's safe even if you fall while snorkeling, and it might be just right for enjoying snorkeling. During snorkeling, you get to feed the fish, so they come right up to you, which is fun!

大きめの船なので全く揺れず、船上で飲み物やドーナツ、生演奏が楽しめました。干潮の時刻に合わせたツアーを申し込んだはずなのですが、砂浜は見えず、大人のみぞおち位の水深がありました。
でも、このくらいの水深だとSAPで転んでも安全だし、シュノーケリングも楽しめて丁度良いかもしれません。シュノーケリングでは餌をもらえるので魚が向こうから寄って来てくれて楽しい！

Reviewed by: ちぃ

The weather was nice and I had a great time! However, the morning pickup location was the same as other tour companies, so there were a huge number of people gathered, and with so many shuttle vehicles, it was difficult to find my ride. Also, unfortunately, we couldn't see the sandbar due to the timing (but that's just a natural phenomenon, so it can't be helped). I was surprised when they said we would ride the bumper tube and banana boat one after the other right after we arrived (before going into the sea), but the bumper tube was thrilling and fun! The staff were all kind, polite, and enjoyable, which made me feel at ease.

天気も良くとっても楽しかったです！
ただ、朝のピックアップ場所が他のツアー会社と同じなので、ものすごい人数が集まり、送迎車もたくさんなのでどれが自分のお迎えの車なのか探すのに苦労しました。
それと、残念ながらサンドバーは時間帯が悪く見られませんでした。(こればっかりは自然現象なので仕方ない)
ついて早々に(海に入る前に)バンパーチューブとバナナボートに立て続けに乗ると言われびっくりしましたが、バンパーチューブはスリル満点で楽しかったです！
スタッフさんもみんな優しく丁寧で楽しい方たちなので安心でした。

I thought the island would rise up and I could walk on it, but the water is up to my chest. There are many more tropical fish for snorkeling at Hanauma Bay. There is only one Japanese interpreter, and they are not on the boat. For a tour that costs that much, this is disappointing. It's better not to have high expectations.

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＞

Beautiful sea! 綺麗な海！

Reviewed by: つま

It was an early morning pickup, but the van was full. The entrance fee for Hanauma Bay is collected in cash inside the car, so it's a good idea to bring exact change. The driver will say various things in English, but as long as you can understand what time you need to be back at the car, you can just let the rest go. At Hanauma Bay, there is a place on the beach where you can rent fins and other equipment, and you can also rent lockers there. However, it's not a self-service system; you have to give your items to the staff, and when you want to retrieve them, you hand over the key.

早朝ピックアップでしたが、バンは満席でした。ハナウマ湾の入場料は車の中で現金で集められるため、お釣りがないように持って行くといいです。ドライバーが英語で色々言いますが、とにかく何時までに車に戻っていればいいか、聞き取れればあとは適当に流しておけば大丈夫です。ハナウマ湾には、ビーチにフィンなどレンタル品を借りる場所があり、そこでロッカーも借りれますが、自分で出し入れする式ではなく、物をスタッフに預けて取り出したい時に鍵を渡す式です。

I felt healed! 癒されました！

Reviewed by: Fla

After seeing off my parents and beloved dog, I returned to Hawaii for the first time in 10 years. I wanted to participate in this tour to enjoy snorkeling, which my active father loved. The crew mentioned, "You all are very lucky because the weather wasn't good until yesterday!" and we were indeed able to see the beautifully clear blue beach, which was amazing!

We found a net in the water and started playing volleyball with a friend, and soon Americans joined us. They cheered us on with "NICE!" when we did well and "Nice try!" when we made mistakes, allowing us to share a fun time together.

As a side note... it was fascinating how, just a few minutes after meeting each other without knowing names, we could all chase the same ball and celebrate together as a team, regardless of age or nationality. It made me wonder why wars happen.

After playing in the beautiful sea, the captain grilled delicious hamburgers for us! Thank you for the treat. A cute Japanese crew member (sorry, I forgot her name) provided very polite explanations, which made it easy to enjoy the experience. Thank you! I would love to participate again if the opportunity arises.

両親と愛犬を見送り、10年ぶりのハワイ。
アクティブな父が大好きだったシュノーケリングをぜひ・・・と思い、このツアーに参加しました。
「前日までお天気が良くなかったから、みなさんはとてもラッキーですよ！」とクルーの方がおっしゃっていましたが、本当に透き通るような青くきれいなビーチを見ることができ、最高でした！
海水の中に張られたネットを見つけ、友人とふたりでバレーボールを始めたら、すぐにアメリカ人の人たちが参加。
うまくいったらNICE！　ミスをしたらNice try !　と声をかけてくれ、楽しい時間を共有できました。
余談ですが・・・
初めて会う、お互い名前も知らない人同士が、たった数分後にはひとつのボールを追いかけて年齢や国籍に関係なくチームとして共に喜び、称えあう・・・こんなことができるのに、なぜ戦争は起こるのだろう・・・と思ってしまいました。

The pickup location and the bus landmark that was communicated in advance were easy to understand. There were staff members who could speak Japanese, so I didn't have any trouble. I enjoyed multiple activities, and there was a live performance on the boat, which was a lot of fun.

Since it was mentioned in the notes that the boat was cashless, I only brought my card and couldn't pay a tip. All the staff were friendly and provided great service with smiles, so I regret not bringing a little cash.

The temperature setting on the bus was quite low, so it was really cold on the way back. I should have brought an extra bath towel or a light jacket as a precaution.

バスの温度設定がかなり低いため、帰りは本当に寒かったので、バスタオルを1枚余計に持参するとか、薄手の上着を持参する等、対策すればよかったです。

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＞

Snorkeling in the beautiful sea is the best! 綺麗な海でシュノーケリング最高です

Reviewed by: なお

I felt secure participating in the tour thanks to the Japanese guides, Chieko and Dan. We were able to enter without waiting in line, which was stress-free thanks to their arrangements.

The snorkeling lasted about an hour in Hanauma Bay, where we could see many tropical fish, and they provided guidance on what to look for, making it efficient considering the physical exertion. We were lucky to see a Hawaiian monk seal napping on the beach. It would have been great to see a honu as well. Near the entrance to the bay, we also spotted a mongoose.

The swim suit is optional, but I was glad I rented one. The water was unexpectedly cold, and during snorkeling, I bumped my stomach against a rock; if I hadn't been wearing it, I might have gotten injured.

It's reassuring that even small children or those who may have concerns about their stamina can retire midway and return to shore.

日本語ガイドのチエコさんとダンさんで安心してツアーに参加できました。入場もお二人の枠のお陰で並ばずに入ることができてストレスがありません。
シュノーケリングは約1時間、ハナウマ湾内を回るのですが、沢山の熱帯魚が見られるし、これというものを教えてくれるので体力消耗を考えると効率が良いです。海岸ではハワイアンモンクシールもお昼寝してて運が良かったです。あとはホヌに会えれば良かったですね。湾への入り口近くではマングースも見ました。
スイムスーツはオプションですが借りて良かったです。水が思いの外冷たいのと、シュノーケリング中に一回、岩にお腹が当たったのですが、着用してなければもしかして怪我したかも知れません。
小さなお子さんや体力に不安のある方でも途中でリタイアして岸に上がれるので安心です。

I encountered a honu (sea turtle)! ホヌに出逢えました！

Reviewed by: yuayurait

I had a great experience snorkeling at Hanauma Bay during my single days, so I wanted my children to share the same excitement, which is why I signed up for this family trip with five of us.

About 25 years ago, I remember there were many yellow fish in shallow waters up to my knees, but now it seems that due to environmental protection and restrictions from the COVID-19 pandemic, things have become stricter, and it was different from my memories of Hanauma Bay.

However, because it is well-managed, the clarity of the water is exceptional. Following the guidance of the instructor, we snorkeled and encountered fish swimming in their natural habitat. Finally, we went to a turtle spot a little deeper and were able to meet a honu (sea turtle).

The instructor was very knowledgeable about Hanauma Bay, and my 6-year-old daughter also enjoyed snorkeling, so I’m glad we participated.

独身時代に行ったハナウマ湾シュノーケリングがよかったため、子どもたちにも同じ感動を味わわせたいと思い今回家族5人で申し込みました。
以前(25年くらい前？)は膝の深さくらいの浅瀬に黄色い魚がたくさんいて餌付けした記憶がありましたが、今は環境保護やコロナ禍を経て入場制限など色々厳しくなったようで昔の記憶にあるハナウマとは違っていました。
しかし管理されているため海の綺麗さは格別で、インストラクターの方の案内に従ってシュノーケリングして自然を泳ぐ魚に遭遇し、最後少し奥の海ガメスポットに行きホヌに出逢うことができました。
ハナウマ湾を知り尽くしたインストラクターさんで6歳の娘もシュノーケリングを楽しめたので参加してよかったです。

Reviewed by: Mi_Pa

First of all, the meeting place was hard to find! I think that should be improved.
The tour was in August, and while it was fine until we boarded the boat, upon arrival, there was no land in sight, and it was quite deep. My daughter and grandparents couldn't touch the bottom at all and were nearly drowning.
Also, there was hardly any snorkeling. There were no fish at all. The sea was deep and there were waves, so it was dangerous for shorter individuals (laughs).
Kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding were somewhat enjoyable, but those two activities alone were too much time to fill.
Regarding the day I went, it was quite a disappointing tour.

まず第一に集合場所が分かりづらい！！そこは改善するべきだと思います。
8月のツアーでしたが、船に乗るまでは良かったのですが、現地に到着しても陸地は現れず、かなり深いです。娘や祖父母は全く足がつかず、溺れかけていました。
そしてシュノーケリングも無いようなものです。魚は全くいないです。海も深く波もあるので、小柄な方は命がけでした（笑）
カヤックやサップはそれなりに楽しかったですが、その2つだけで時間を潰すには時間が長すぎます。
私の行った日に関しては、かなりハズレツアーでしたね。

Reviewed by: はち

I participated because it was cheaper than similar tours. It was a snorkeling trip off the coast of the hotels in Waikiki. We saw as many as five sea turtles up close. Since it wasn't a coral reef, there were fewer fish. The catamaran cruise while listening to music was the best. There were only foreigners, and I didn't understand English, but it was totally fine. One drink was free. I was worried about getting to the location, so I reserved a round-trip taxi at JCB Plaza, and it was a flat rate of $22 one way from Sheraton Waikiki, including tips. It's a good idea to check the location of pier D on the map provided by the tour when you make your reservation.

同じようなツアーの中でも安かったので参加しました。ワイキキのホテル群の沖合でのシュノーケリングでした。海亀は間近で見られたものを含めて5匹もいました。サンゴ礁では無いのでお魚は少なめです。音楽を聞きながらのカタマランでのクルーズは最高でした。外国人ばかりで英語はわからなかったけど全然OKでした。アルコールは1杯タダでした。現地までの移動が不安だったのでJCBプラザで往復のタクシーを予約してシェラトンカイウラニからチップ込み定額片道22ドルでした。集合場所のpierDの場所は予約時にツアーから届く埠頭の地図で確認しておくと良いです。

The staff were kind and warm. スタッフのみなさんが親切であたたかかったです

Reviewed by: ときこ

I participated with my fifth-grade son.

I felt reassured because the guide was a Japanese woman. There was also a local staff member who spoke a little Japanese, and they were very kind. You could easily recognize them by their tall stature and distinctive hat.

On the way from the port to the sandbar, we enjoyed drinks and donuts while listening to the relaxed singing of a musician.

Once we arrived at the sandbar, we could do stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, and snorkeling, and the local staff kindly taught us how to use the equipment. I could speak a little English, but even those who couldn't speak it were treated with care through gestures, so there was no need to worry. I think you can also do banana boat rides if you make a reservation, but since my child is small, we didn't do that this time.

On the way to the sandbar, a young boy in elementary school became unwell and collapsed, but the Japanese female staff responded appropriately, and there was also a nurse among the guests, so the boy recovered without any issues.

The staff's response and the activities were excellent!

As advice for those who will participate, I think it's a good idea to prepare a change of clothes, including underwear, because it can get quite cold after coming out of the sea while still in wet swimsuits.

There was a hot water tank (for drinking water) near where we could get drinks, and I was grateful to have warm water to drink since I was feeling cold. (*^_^*)

小学5年生の息子と母で参加しました。

案内役の方が日本人女性だったので不安はありませんでした。現地のスタッフの中に片言で日本語を話してくれる方が居てとても親切でした。背が高く特徴のある帽子を被って居たのですぐに分かると思います。

港からサンドバーまではドリンクとドーナツのサービス、そしてミュージシャンのゆったりした歌声を聴きながらの移動でした。

サンドバーにつくとサップ、カヤック、シュノーケリングが出来るのですが、現地スタッフがとても親切に乗り方などを教えてくれました。私は少し英語を話せましたが、話せない方でも身振り手振りで丁寧に接して下さるので心配ありません。バナナボートも予約を入れれば出来るのだと思いますが、子供が小さいのもあり我が家は今回入れませんでした。

サンドバーに向かう時、小学生の男の子が具合が悪くなり倒れてしまいましたが、その時も日本人女性のスタッフが適切に対応されていて、お客さんの中に看護師さんも居たので男の子も回復し事なきを得ました。

スタッフの対応とアクティビティの内容についてははなまるでしたよ！

これから参加する方へのアドバイスとしては海から上がった後、濡れた水着のままだと結構冷えるので、下着を含めた着替えを1セット用意しておくと安心だと思います。

ドリンクをもらえるところの側にお湯が出るタンク（飲料水用）があって、私は体が冷えてしんどかったので温かいお湯が飲めたのは有り難かったです(*^_^*)

When I went before, I only had transportation and went on my own, so I couldn't visit many fish spots, but this time I had a lot of fun. When you're on your own, you can get swept away or feel anxious, but even if you get separated, they stay close and guide you, which gives you a sense of security. We swam from one end of the bay to the other. Even in August, the sea is a bit cold, so I borrowed a wetsuit to avoid getting hurt by the coral. It was great that I could rent one on the spot without a reservation. I think this tour will satisfy both small children and adults. Since it's an early morning tour, we returned to the hotel around 10:30, allowing us to spend the day meaningfully. I highly recommend it!

ご夫妻２人でガイドをされているとっても明るくてチャーミングで素敵なご夫妻です。ハナウマ湾の事を知り尽くしているため入場するのもとてもスムーズです。お魚がいる場所やウミガメが来そうな場所も把握されているため沢山のカラフルな魚を見る事が出来ました。以前行った時は送迎のみで個人で行ったためあまり魚のいる場所に行けませんでしたが今回はとても楽しめました。個人だと流されてしまったり不安がありますが、はぐれてしまっても前後についていてくれるため、こっちだよーと引っ張ってくれて安心感が違います。湾の端から端まで泳ぎました。8月でも少し海が冷たいため、そして珊瑚で怪我をしないためウエットスーツを借りました。予約しなくてもその場で借りることができ良かったです。小さなお子さんも大人も大満足のツアーだと思います。朝早いためホテルに10時半くらいに戻って来ますので一日を有意義に過ごせます。おすすめです！

This was a great experience! Alot of activities for families to do. You can go snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding or just relax on the sandbar. All the equipment was provided. The staff was super helpful and friendly. We would definitely do this again.

Sandbar in unfortunate weather. 生憎の天気の中のサンドバー

Reviewed by: いと

After an hour's ride on the shuttle bus from Waikiki, we boarded a boat from a quiet harbor, away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki. However, perhaps due to the recent typhoon, the weather was unfortunately rainy, and the child who joined us immediately wanted to go home as soon as we got off the bus and were hit by a sudden downpour.

Despite the weather, as we received donuts and approached the sandbar with the cheerful staff's live performance, the weather improved a bit. By the time we enjoyed two hours of snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, and sea kayaking, the child was having a great time, creating fun memories. The sea was a bit high tide, which was a mix-up with the tides, but it was still great to enjoy the water activities. I would like to try again during low tide when the weather is nice.

Lastly, I left something on the return shuttle bus, but thanks to the kind response from the local company and the driver, it was returned to me the same day. I'm grateful.

It was a different experience compared to other seas.

ワイキキから1時間送迎バスにゆられ、ワイキキの喧騒から離れ静かな港まちから船に乗りました。
しかし、先日接近した台風の影響なのか、生憎の雨まじりのお天気、一緒に参加した子供は、バスを降りた途端のスコール的な雨で、もう帰りたいと言い出す始末。
そんな中の船出でしたが、ドーナツをもらって、陽気なスタッフの生演奏とともにサンドバーに近づいていくと、お天気も少し回復。
シュノーケリングにSUPにシーカヤックに2時間満喫する頃には、子供もおおはしゃぎの楽しい思い出になりました。
海は満潮と干潮を間違えて、やや満潮気味でしたが、それはそれで海のアクティビティを満喫できてよかったです。次はお天気のよい干潮時に挑戦してみたいです。

最後に、帰りの送迎バスに忘れ物をしてしまったのですが、現地の会社とドライバーの親切な対応でその日のうちに戻ってきました。感謝

他の海とはまた違った体験でした。
