The location is fantastic (you can see Kualoa Ranch, famous for movie shoots, in the background of the sandy beach!), and the friendliness of the staff was outstanding. I definitely recommend using a waterproof camera to take plenty of memorable photos. One thing to note is that you will get sunburned, so please apply sunscreen generously in advance.
ロケーションは最高(砂浜のバックには、映画撮影でも有名なクアロア牧場が見えます!)、また、スタッフの皆さんのフレンドリーさも抜群でした。ぜひ、防水カメラを使って、思い出の写真をいっぱいとることをお勧めします。一点、注意点は、やはり日焼けしますので、日焼け止めはこれでもかという具合に事前に塗っておいてください。

I wasn't sure what Sandbar would be like, but it was simply beautiful.
The early morning plan had fewer participants, so it became a recommendation, but it turned out well. The reason is that you need to be prepared for the cold in the morning.
According to the locals, it gets cold after October, so it's not highly recommended.
We were fortunate with the weather, but recently in Hawaii, there has been a lot of rain, so be prepared for disappointing weather...
The clear sea under the blue sky is the best!
サンドバーがどんなものかわからずの参加でしたが、
ただただキレイの一言でした。
早朝プランが人数足らず、おすすめになってしまったのですが良かったです。
理由は朝は寒さの覚悟が必要だから。
現地の人曰く、10月過ぎは寒くなりあまりお勧めでないとのこと。
天気に恵まれたので幸いですが、
最近のハワイは雨続きなので、残念な天気の場合は覚悟が・・
青い空の下の澄んだ海は最高ですよ。

The night before, it rained, and I was worried. I've been to Hawaii several times, but Hanauma Bay, which I saw for the first time from above, was very beautiful. When I went down, the waves were a bit high and the water was murky. However, thanks to Alan, from the moment he picked us up from the hotel, we could just relax and not worry about the time or our luggage. He took us to a spot where we could see fish despite the murky water. When I focused on watching the fish, time flew by. Since it was just my husband and me participating, we were able to hold hands with Alan the whole time, making it feel like a private experience. My husband, who came out of the water, was parched and was thrilled with the water that Alan provided. I absolutely recommend this for first-timers and beginners. You can really focus on watching the fish. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is that it is indeed affected by the weather; if it had been sunny with calm waves, I definitely think it would have been five stars. Thank you very much.
前日の夜、雨が降り心配してました。
ハワイには何回か来ましたが、初めて見るハナウマ湾は上から見るととてもきれいでした。
下に降りると、波が少し高く、濁っていました。
ただ、アランさんのおかげで、ホテルからピックアップしてもらったときから、もうおまかせで、帰る時間も荷物も気にせず、海が濁りながらも魚が見えるところに連れていってもらいました。
魚を見ることに集中しているとあっという間に時間になりました。参加したのが私たち夫婦2人だけということもあり、ずっと海の中でアランさんと手をつないでもらい。貸切状態。
海からあがった主人はのどがからからで、アランさんが用意してくれた水に感激してました。初めて行かれる方、初心者の方には絶対おすすめです。魚をみることに集中できます。星がひとつ足りないのは、やはり天候に左右されるので、晴れてて波がなかったら、間違いなく星5つだったと思います。ありがとうございました。

Last time I had a very disappointing experience on a different tour, so to be honest, I wasn't expecting much this time either... But it was incredible!!! We searched for dolphins, and when we found them, everyone jumped into the sea at once! When I looked into the water, the dolphins were swimming really close by. I was so moved. Then, we also encountered sea turtles during the second hour. I was so impressed that I ended up participating twice during my stay (^O^)/ I highly recommend Dolphin Junior High. The staff were all really fun, and I'm glad I participated. I definitely plan to join again next time.
前回別のツアーでとても残念な思いをしたので、正直今回もあまり期待していなかったんですが・・・
とんでもない!!!
イルカを探し、見つけるとみんな一斉に海へ!
海を覗くと本当に近くにイルカ先生達が泳いでるんです。
もうこれには感激です。
そして、2時間目のウミガメ先生にも遭遇。

I participated with my wife. There were also three very cheerful salsa dance instructors from California (two women and one man). Our guide, Alan, spoke fluent Japanese, which made us feel very comfortable and allowed us to enjoy the experience until the end.
Since I usually wear glasses, I consulted with Alan, and he informed me that they rent prescription underwater masks for $5 at Hanauma Bay, which was very helpful.
Thanks to the salsa dance instructors in the same group as Alan, we were able to go to places we could never have reached on our own, and we got to see turtles and many fish, which made us very satisfied.
妻と参加しました。
他はカリフォルニアから来たとても陽気なサルサダンスの先生3人(女性2人、男性1人)
ガイドのアランさんは流暢な日本語でとても安心して最後まで楽しむことができました。
日常、メガネを使用しているため、アランさんに相談したところ、ハナウマ湾では度付きの水中マスクを$5で貸してくれることを教えてくれとても助かりました。
アランさんと同じグループのサルサダンサーの先生達のお陰で、自分達だけでは到底行けない場所まで行くことができ、カメや多くの魚を見ることができて、大満足でした。

I joined with high expectations after reading everyone's experiences, and it did not disappoint! The staff were all kind, and their stories were interesting, making for a fun time.
It was a bit disappointing that the sea turtle "Noboru" (laughs) didn't show up much. Also, while snorkeling was enjoyable, the water temperature was too cold...

It was my first time in Hawaii and my first snorkeling experience. I was a bit anxious about what kind of instructor I would have, but Alan was very good at Japanese. He is quite tall and has experience living in Japan, so I had no worries about the language barrier. He patiently taught me how to put on the snorkeling gear, and then we headed into the water (starting with some practice). Although I understood it in my head, I struggled to breathe properly at first and thought, "This is impossible!" But Alan held my hand, and as I swam, I gained confidence in my breathing and was able to swim out further (^^)V. The seawater wasn't exactly clear, but I was able to see schools of fish and colorful fish, and I even encountered two sea turtles that I probably wouldn't have seen without Alan's guidance. After returning to the sandy beach for a break, I encouraged Alan to go back into the water, but he told me there was no more time. I was left feeling a bit dissatisfied that I could only do it once, but I recommend having an instructor for those who are snorkeling for the first time.
初めてのハワイで初シュノーケルでした。どんなインストラクターか不安でしたが日本語がとても上手なアランさんでした。身長がとても高く日本にも在住した経験があるそうで言葉の不安は全然ありません。シュノーケルの装着方法を丁寧に教えて貰い、いざ海中へ(初めは練習です)。頭で理解できてたのに呼吸が上手く出来なくて 無理~! と思ったのもつかの間でアランさんが手を繋いでくれ泳いでるうちに息の仕方にも自信がつき沖へ向かって泳ぐことが出来ました(^^)V 海水は綺麗とは言えませんが群れをなした魚やカラフルな魚を見ることが出来、アランさんが居なかったら多分見れなかっただろう海がめとも2匹と遭遇できました。砂浜に戻り休憩後、海に入ろうとアランさんを促したら、もう時間が無いと言われました。一度しか出来ないのが不満に残りましたがシュノーケルを初めてする方はインストラクター付がお勧めです。

I was moved by the color of the ocean! Also, I was a bit anxious about snorkeling for the first time, but since they lend you a life jacket, I felt safe and enjoyed it. I was able to spot a sea turtle from the boat, so it feels like something good is going to happen. This time, my husband and I participated, but I think it's a tour that everyone can enjoy, whether it's with family or friends.
海の色に感動でした!また、初めてのシュノ-ケリングも不安でしたが、ライフジャケットを貸してもらえるので安心して楽しめます。ウミガメも船からだけど見つけることができたので、なんだかいいことがありそうです。今回は夫婦2人での参加でしたが、家族でも友達同士でも、みんなが楽しめるツアーだと思います。

I was moved beyond words.
I was touched by the high transparency of the sea, where I could see the spotted patterns of rays swimming beneath the surface. I was also moved by the faint sounds of dolphins crying underwater, as if they were speaking to me, and by the attentive service of the staff... My heart was filled with wonderful sparkles.
This tour feels like swimming alongside wild dolphins while they are sleeping, which is quite different from the dolphin swims at Sea Life Park or the dolphin activities at the Kahala Hotel, where you can touch the dolphins closely. If you expect that kind of interaction, you might feel a bit unsatisfied...
However, you get to experience the dolphins in their natural, free state, and the majestic beauty of nature, which is incredibly healing.
I highly recommend this tour, where the stress from Japan melts away in the beautiful sea, leaving your heart feeling light!! I will definitely join again the next time I go to Oahu.

I was really looking forward to the Heaven's Sea Tour and participated in it.
I chose the afternoon tour, but the water level was high, reaching chest level in some areas, so I couldn't take my camera into the sea, which was a bit disappointing.
It was early October, and it was a bit cloudy, so the water temperature was low. I wanted to go snorkeling, but unfortunately, I couldn't...
The BBQ meat was delicious.
This tour might be better in the morning.

My husband & I were coming to Oahu, Hawaii for the first time. He is a certified scuba diver, but hadn't done any snorkel or scuba for years. We wanted to do a snorkel trip, since he enjoys it. I had never snorkeled, & from the reviews I read, I thought this trip would be enjoyable for both of us.
We had a lot of fun - on the boat, in the water, talking with the crew & fellow "snorkelers." It is a great trip for beginners - you get good instruction & practice before you are taken to a coral reef.
Bonus: we got to see several Green Turtles on our way to the reef. We would do this trip again!

This is my second time! Two years ago, when I visited for my daughter's wedding in Hawaii, we chose a beach close to heaven as a family and relatives' memory. The beautiful cobalt blue sea, sea turtles, and coral reefs from that time are etched in my mind as precious memories. The DVD that captures those memories never gets boring, no matter how many times I watch it.
This time, it was a trip just for my wife and me. We quickly made a net reservation for the heavenly... and participated in the afternoon session on October 12. I also joined the snorkeling, which I couldn't do last time due to an injury on my eyelid, and enjoyed the coral reefs and beautiful schools of fish, as well as a delicious BBQ. The staff's response was also very pleasant!
I travel to Hawaii every year, and I would like to walk on the sandbar again next year.
今年で二度目!
一昨年、娘のハワイ結婚式で訪れたとき、家族・親族の思い出として、天国に近い海を選択し、あの時のコバルトブルーの美しい海・海ガメ・サンゴ焦は、とても貴重な思い出として瞼に焼き付いております。その思い出を凝縮したDVDは
何度見ても飽きません。
今回は、家内と二人旅でしたが、天国の・・・は早々とnet予約し、10/12の午後の部に参加、前回は瞼の上の怪我
で出来なかったシュノーケリングにも参加し、サンゴ焦・綺麗な魚群を堪能し、BBQも美味しく戴きました。
スタッフの対応も気持ち良かったですよ!

Honestly, I can't swim and I'm not good with the ocean (water). I thought, "I don't want to go," even before participating. However, as I got on the boat and moved forward, I was greeted with views I had never seen before. I didn't even have the time to raise my camera...
When we arrived at the sandbar, we went into the water. The water was deep enough to reach around the waist of a man in some places, and shallow enough to reach the knees in others. The water was clear enough to see the bottom. I've never seen anything like this! Even though I was scared, I wanted to get in the water! Even though I can't swim, the guides (a Japanese woman and a local woman) were watching over us closely.
We snorkeled right there, and in the deeper areas, we could see corals and fish. Since I can't swim, I snorkeled just before it got too deep.
If you're going to Oahu, Waikiki is a nice place, but I definitely recommend going to the sandbar at least once.
正直、泳げないし、海(水)が苦手。

I went on a summer limited Sunrise Tour! Exploring the beautiful sandbar and experiencing the sunrise in Hawaii is a rare opportunity, and since the plan has you returning in the morning (even though it's before dawn), I think it's a great way to make the most of your day! In our case, we had a schedule to leave Hawaii that afternoon, so we decided on it right away★ After returning to the hotel, we were quite rushed though.. lol
On the day of the tour, it seems there were very few waves, one of the calmest days of the year, so I didn't have to worry about seasickness, but it was quite cold~《>_<》A large bath towel provided by the hotel is a must. The snorkeling, which I was looking forward to, was unfortunately a bit disappointing due to low underwater visibility. There were some fish, but not many. By the way, it's fine for those who can't swim since life jackets are provided. However, as expected, if you want to go deeper on your own, you can't dive. lol
After that, we all searched for sea turtles from the boat, and they popped their heads up quite a bit and swam very close, which was really fun.
The views of the mountains at Kualoa Ranch were wonderful, but it was a bit cold for the season, and the snorkeling experience was somewhat disappointing. The staff were very friendly, and they took photos for us, plus the warm breakfast was delicious☆
夏限定!サンライズツアーに行ってきました!
綺麗なサンドバー散策もハワイでのサンライズもめったにできない経験だし、朝イチ(と言っても明け方前です)の集合から午前中には帰ってくるプランなので、1日を有意義に使えると思います!私達の場合は特にその日のお昼にハワイを発つスケジュールだったので即決でした★ ホテル帰着後かなり焦ることになりましたが・・w
当日は波が1年でも1,2を争うくらい無い日だったらしく、船酔いの心配は無かったのですが、いかんせん寒かった~《>_<》ホテルで貸し出してくれる大きなバスタオル必須です。
期待のシュノーケルは、意外と水中の透明度が低くて残念でした。魚もいるにはいるんですが多くないかな。 ちなみにライフジャケット着用のため、泳げない人でも大丈夫です。一方当然ですが深いところへ自主的に行こうと思っても潜れませんでしたw
その後、船上よりみんなで海亀を探しますが、ぽこぽこ海面へ顔を出してくれるし、すごく近くを泳いだりするのでとても面白かったです。
クアロア牧場の山々も望め、景色はすばらしかったのですが、時期的に寒かったのとシュノーケリングが少し残念な感じでした。
スタッフはとても親切で写真も撮ってもらえるし、温かい朝食はおいしく頂けました☆

I participated on October 6th. There were 2 other people, making a total of 4.
The weather was wonderful, shining in beautiful colors. I had some experience, but I felt a bit anxious. I remembered the time I snorkeled in the Sea of Heaven and struggled in deeper water with the waves.
As expected, I had tightened my mask too much, and it seems I ended up swallowing seawater. However, they kindly took care of me and taught me that tightening the mask can actually make water enter more easily, and they helped me adjust it.
Thanks to that, I was able to enjoy the rest of the experience without any problems. To my surprise, I was able to see a sea turtle, which was munching on algae right below me. Additionally, according to the guide, we encountered a rare moray eel.
Time flew by, and I wished I could swim more. It was a tour that made me want to participate again.

天候に恵まれてすばらしい色に輝いていた。
何回か経験はあるが少々不安があった。以前天国の海でシュノーケルしたときちょっと深いところで波に揉まれ苦しい思いをしたのを思い出してしまったからだ。
案の定マスクをきつくしすぎて鼻が出てしまったらしく海水を飲んでしまった。が、親切に面倒見てくれて、マスクをきつくすると逆に水が入り易くなることを教えてもらい直してくれた。
お陰でその後は何の問題もなく楽しめた。そして予想外にウミガメを見ることができた。すぐ真下で岩の藻をかじっていた。

I was looking forward to snorkeling, but I heard it was in a very deep area, so as someone who can't swim, I immediately gave up. (laughs)
Since lunch was included, I enjoyed that instead. The guava juice was refreshing and I recommend it. There was also grilled meat, chicken, salad, and fruit, all of which were delicious.
We had lunch on the boat, and a fish came up to the boat asking for food, which was really cute.

I participated on September 17. I had confirmed from reviews before my departure that even at low tide, the water would be about ankle-deep, but during this time of year, as shown in the photos, the sand was not exposed, and even at the lowest tide, it was about 5 centimeters above my ankles. However, the scenery of the surrounding area, which had nothing else, was absolutely stunning. Additionally, during the snorkeling afterward, I was satisfied to find a honu (turtle). (On the way back to shore, the staff suggested we look for honu first and took us through a spot where they are often seen, allowing us to see about five honu swimming in the sea.)
9月17日に参加しました。出発前から口コミ等で潮が引いても足首ぐらいというのは確認していましたが、やっぱり今の時期は写真のように砂は顔を出さず、一番引いているところでも足首の5センチぐらい上でした。でも、周りの何もないところの景色のよさは最高でした。また、その後のシュノーケリングでもホヌ(かめ)を見つけることができ満足でした。(岸に戻る時もスタッフの人がホヌ見てから帰りましょうと、よく出るスポットを通ってくれたので海に泳ぐホヌを5匹ぐらい見ることができました。)

I had no experience with snorkeling, so I chose a guided tour. It was definitely worth it.
At first, since the other two participants couldn't swim, my husband and I swam around on our own until they got used to the water. During that time, we hardly saw any fish. However, when the guide said, "Please come this way," and we followed, we started to see more and more fish. Moreover, the guide pointed out things like sea turtles that we wouldn't have noticed on our own, so we didn't miss anything. When asked if we wanted to go deeper, I answered "yes," and the guide held the hands of the two non-swimmers while taking us to a place we could never have reached on our own. There, we were able to see a world we usually can't see, and I was very satisfied. I believe we would not have had such an experience without the guide. I'm glad we participated.
Additionally, we could pack our belongings into a large box, lock it up, and leave it on the beach, which made me feel secure.
However, I had some concerns about the guide. When we were picked up, I said "Hello!" but received no response, and there was no conversation in the car, which made me very anxious about whether he understood Japanese. After picking us up, he welcomed two foreign guests and spoke to them in English in the car, explaining about the town we passed through (probably the Kahala area), but there was no explanation in Japanese. The car was quite old, and I thought maybe I had made a mistake by paying a high price for this.
On the way, we stopped at an office-like place to pick up fins and other gear. Since there was no explanation about what we were doing there, I felt a bit uneasy about why we were being dropped off. However, it was there that the guide finally asked in Japanese, "What is your foot size?" and I realized he could speak Japanese.
After arriving at Hanauma Bay, he said, "First, I will explain in English, and then in Japanese," and we finally received a proper explanation in Japanese about how to snorkel, which made me feel relieved.
シュノーケルは経験がなかったため自信がなく、このガイドさんつきツアーにしました。
その甲斐が十分あるツアーでした。
最初、私たちの他の参加者2人が泳げなかったため、その方たちが水に慣れるまで私たち夫婦は自分たちで近くを泳ぎ回りました。
その時はほとんど魚を見ることができませんでした。
しかし、その後ガイドさんが
「こっちに来てください。」
と言った方向に向かっていくと、どんどん魚を見ることができました。
しかも、ウミガメなど近くにいても自分では気がつかなかったのに、それをちゃんと教えてくれるので見逃さずに済みました。
さらに「もっと深いところに行きたいか?」と聞かれたので「はい。」と答えたら、泳げない2人の手をしっかりとガイドさんがつないだまま、自分たちでは絶対に到達できないようなところまで連れていってくれました。
そこでは普段見ることのできない世界を見ることができてとても満足でした。
ガイドさんなしツアーだったら、こんな経験は絶対にできなかったと思います。
参加して良かったです。
また、持って行った荷物も大きなボックスにみんなで詰め、鍵とチェーンをかけて砂浜に置いておいてもらえるので、安心でした。
ただ、ガイドさん自身についてはちょっと不審点がありました。
お迎え時にこちらから「こんにちは!」と言ったら何の返事もなく、車に乗っても特に話はしないので日本語がわかるのかとても不安になりました。
私たち夫婦の迎えの後、2人の外人のお迎えをしました。その外人の方たちとは車内で英語で話していて、途中通った街(おそらくカハラ地区)についても説明していましたが、日本語では特に説明はありませんでした。
車も結構古く、高いお金を出して申し込んでちょっと失敗だったかな、と思いました。
行く途中、フィンなど荷物を取るため、事務所のようなところに立ち寄りました。
それも特に何をするのか説明してくれなかったので、何でここで降ろされるんだろう?とちょっと不安でした。
しかし、そこでようやく日本語で
「足のサイズは何cm?」
と聞かれて、日本語ができることを認識しました。
ハナウマ湾に到着してからは、
「まず英語で説明してから、日本語で説明します。」
ということで、シュノーケルの方法などちゃんと日本語での説明があり、やっと安心

In the morning plan, there were four of us: my partner and I, along with another couple.
The weather in the morning was a bit cloudy with some light rain, but by the time we arrived at Hanauma Bay, it was nice and sunny.
However, there was a strong wind which made me a bit anxious, but the sea wasn't too cold and the sun wasn't too strong, so I think it's better for those concerned about sunburn to go in the morning.
The instructor spoke Japanese without any issues. My husband was snorkeling for the first time, and I was also a bit anxious since it had been a while, but we were able to relax because they guided us by holding our hands to the snorkeling points.
We encountered three turtles!!! It was my first time seeing a swimming turtle right in front of me, and I was really moved. We also saw many beautiful fish.
Since the time was short, I wish there had been a little more free time.
I didn't bring my camera because I was worried it might get lost, but there are lockable boxes, so your valuables are safe.
I regret not bringing it a little.
午前のプランで。。。
私達カップルともう一カップルの4人でした。
朝のお天気は少し曇りで雨も少し降ってましたが
ハナウマ湾に着いたら良いお天気に。。。
しかし風が強く不安も有りましたが
海もそれ程冷たくなく日差しも強くなかったので
日焼けを気になさる方は午前中が良いと思います。
インストラクターの方も日本語も問題無く
私の主人は初のシュノーケル、私も久し振りで不安も有りましたが
手を繋いでポイントまで導いてくれたので安心して出来ました。
亀にも3匹出会いましたよ!!!
泳いでる亀を目の前で見たのは初だったので感動致しました。
綺麗なお魚にも沢山出会えました。
やはり時間が短いので欲を言えば自由時間がもぉ少し有ると良いかなぁ~と思いました。
カメラも無くなったらと思い持って行きませんでしたが
鍵のかかるBOXが有るので貴重品も大丈夫ですよ~
持って行かなかったのがちょっと悔しいです。

I participated with my younger sister. There were four of us in total, including an American parent and child.
The guide was a foreigner, but he could understand Japanese perfectly and was fluent in conversation. It was my first time snorkeling, but he taught us very carefully from the basics, which made me feel at ease.
When we went out to the sea, he held my hand, so I could snorkel without worry. Once we entered the water, schools of fish came right up to us, which was incredibly moving. There were rainbow-colored fish, and they were really beautiful.
It was my first overseas trip and my first time snorkeling, but I was very satisfied! If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would love to participate again. I highly recommend it!
妹と2人で参加しました。
私達の他にアメリカ人の親子の2人の計四人でした。
ガイドさんは外人さんですが、日本語はちゃんと聞き取れますし、
会話もバッチリ出来る位ペラペラでした。
初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、
1から凄く丁寧に教えて下さり安心出来ました。
いざ、海に出る時も手をつないで頂いてたので、
安心してシュノーケリング出来ました。
海に入ると魚の群れが目の前まで来ててかなりの感動でした。
虹色の魚とかがいて凄くきれいでした。
私は初めての海外旅行&初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、
大満足でした!
またハワイに行く機会があったら参加したいです。
めっちゃオススメです。

My friend who was going with me wanted to choose between "Heavenly Sea" or an "Experience Swimming with Dolphins," and after looking into it, I felt a strong desire to see the "Heavenly Sea," so I decided to join this tour.
The sea was truly transparent, and I was moved!! It was so beautiful, and I really felt like I was in Hawaii. The staff were all very nice, and I think the cost performance is high. I definitely want to participate again the next time I come to Hawaii.
一緒に行く友達が「天国の海」か「イルカと一緒に泳ぐ体験」のどちらかをしたいと言っていて、調べてみたところ、「天国の海」を見たい!という気持ちが強かったので、こちらのツアーに参加しました。
海がホントに透明で感動しました!!
とーってもキレイで、ハワイに来た!という感じがしました。
スタッフの方も、皆さん良い方ばかりで、コストパフォーマンスは高いと思います。
また次回、ハワイに来る際も是非参加したいと思います。
