I was able to see a total of three turtles! I think it's definitely a spot where you can see them. The guide was a foreigner, and when I participated, there were no Japanese participants, so I was a bit anxious, but there was nothing to worry about. I think it's a good idea to take motion sickness medication, as I experienced seasickness and nausea from the waves.
合計で3匹のカメを見ることができました!
多分スポット的には絶対見られるポイントなのだと思います。
ガイドさんは外人で私が参加した時は日本人の参加者はいなかったので少し不安でしたが、困るようなことはなかったです。
船酔いと波酔いをしたので酔い止めは飲んでおくといいと思います。
酔い止めは飲んでおくと良いです。

You can also see turtles from the boat, and during the one-hour snorkeling experience, you can spot them as well. The service is excellent, and during the free time after the experience, you can relax and enjoy some juice. For those who want to have an intense experience with marine life, the duration might feel short, but I recommend it for those who want a quick taste of Hawaii.
船からも亀さんを見ることもできますし、1時間のシュノーケリング体験の間でも見れます。サービスもすごく良くて、体験後の楽しみの自由時間ではジュースを飲んだり、まったりできます。もしかしたら、ガンガン海の生き物と楽しみたいという方には体験が短いと感じるかもしれませんが、サクッとハワイを体験したい人にはおすすめです。
Make sure to bring a cover-up. You'll be spending a long time at the beach.

I was anxious about the ticket scramble, so I used this service. I received reminder emails multiple times until the day of the event, and they picked me up at the hotel at 5:30 AM. The ride was shared and everything was in English, with no other Japanese passengers. However, they provided a printed sheet in Japanese that included the prohibited items and the pickup time, so there were no issues. It gets quite cold in Hanauma Bay until the sun rises. I think especially Japanese people might find it chilly. Considering the water and air temperature, I believe it's better to go around noon. There was plenty of time, and it was more relaxed compared to the plan with a Japanese instructor. I participated in both, but I think it depends on your purpose. I was able to relax so much that I took a nap for about 30 minutes. We returned to the hotel around 1 PM. If I plan to go to Hanauma Bay again, I will definitely use this service. It was fun.
チケット争奪戦に不安があったので、こちらを利用しました。当日まで何度もリマインドメールがあり、当日早朝5:30ホテルまで迎えに来てくれました。乗合いで全て英語、同乗者も日本人は居ませんでした。ですが日本語のプリントも渡してくれて、禁止事項や迎えの時間場合が書かれていて問題無しでした。ハナウマ湾は太陽が昇るまで結構寒いです。特に日本人は寒いと思います。水温や気温を考えたら昼頃からが良いと思います。時間にはゆとりもあり、日本人インストラクター付きプランよりゆっくり出来ます。どちらも参加しましたが、目的別だと思います。あまりにゆっくり出来て30分程昼寝してました。帰りは13時頃ホテルです。次回ハナウマ湾予定があれば、またお願いします。楽しかった。
Wind and cold weather measures are necessary. I don't think it's a problem if you can't speak English. You need to actively ask the driver for rental items other than your reservation when you get off
風と低温対策は必要。英語は話せなくても問題無いと思います。予約意外のレンタル品は降車時にドライバーに積極的に声を掛けないと借りれませんので、ライフジャケットなどお気をつけ下さい。

We participated with two adults and four children (ages 2 to 13). We were a bit anxious because it was slightly cheaper than other tours and only had English-speaking staff, but I thought communication would be fine as long as we could manage simple conversations. The boat was more luxurious than we expected, and we had a comfortable time.
During the snorkeling, we saw about 5 to 6 sea turtles from a distance for around 40 to 50 minutes. One of the local staff members was snorkeling and pointed out where the turtles were, but he wasn't very proactive, so we ended up diving and searching for them ourselves. However, we were thrilled to see one up close! If I have the chance to go again, I would love to participate.
大人2人、子ども4人(2〜13歳)で参加しました。
他のツアーに比べ少し安かったことと、英語のスタッフのみということで、少し不安はありましたが、簡単な会話ができる程度であれば、全くコミュニケーションは問題ないと思いました。
船も予想以上に豪華で快適に過ごせました。
ウミガメは約4〜50分間シュノーケル中に、5〜6頭遠くに見えました。
1人、現地のスタッフの方がシュノーケルをしながらウミガメのいる場所を教えてくれるのですが、あまり積極的でなかったため、自分たちで潜って探す感じでしたが、1頭至近距離で見れて感動しました!
また行く機会があったら参加したいです。

This was our second time doing this sandbar tour with this company. The staff is always very nice and there are beautiful views. The first trip went really well however, this second trip was not so great.
I am aware of high and low tide times which both times were high tide, but this time the water was over my head and windy with a pretty strong current. I am 5’ 1” and it made it near impossible to do anything at all. I know the staff cannot control ocean levels but just something to keep in mind for shorter people or people with kids. I would have been better off just saving the money and walking out into the regular ocean as far as I could before it got too deep.
When booking make it known water levels might not be like a sandbar at all if on the shorter side.

We’re sorry to hear that this trip didn’t meet your expectations the way your first one did. You're absolutely right that ocean conditions, especially during high tide and windy days, can greatly impact the experience—especially for guests who are shorter or have younger children. While we can’t control the tides, we do try our best to inform guests of conditions in advance and ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable in the water.

I participated with the mindset that I might be lucky, but I really got to see sea turtles (there were at least 7 or 8 during the snorkeling), and while I couldn't touch them, they swam and rested right nearby, which made me feel calm.
There were also many fish swimming around, and I had fun trying stand-up paddleboarding in the shallow waters. It was a wonderful day, not only while I was in the ocean but also relaxing on the boat while enjoying the beautiful scenery. Spending a day on this tour during my short stay in Hawaii was definitely the right choice. I highly recommend it.

The banana boat can accommodate six people in two rows for two families. It was so much fun! You won't get thrown off. Due to the tides, we couldn't reach the sandy beach, but that's understandable. You don't need water shoes at all. Both stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking were enjoyable, and even though we didn't see any turtles, we were happy to see lots of fish. Staying in the water for too long can get chilly, and if you get out while still wet, it gets even colder, so having a dry towel or a dry jacket is necessary. There are cold juices or water on the boat, but you can pay for hot coffee. My daughter and I kept drinking hot water to warm ourselves up. Also, my husband almost caused a commotion when he dropped his phone, which was in a waterproof bag, but the staff found it, and we were really grateful for that. Thank you so much for your help at that time. Next time, I’d like to go when the sandy beach is visible!
バナナボートは2家族の横2列の6人乗り。めっちゃ楽しかったです。振り落とされる事はありません。潮の満ち引きなので仕方ないですが砂浜には出会えませんでした。ウォーターシューズはなくても全然大丈夫。サップもカヤックも楽しかったし、カメには出会えなかったけどたくさんの魚を見られて良かったです。海の中にずっといると冷えるし、上がっても濡れたままだと更に冷えるので、乾いたタオルか乾いた上着が必要です。船上には冷たいジュースか水ですが、お金を払えば暖かいコーヒーがあります。私と娘はお湯をひたすら飲んで身体を温めました。あと、旦那が防水袋に入れたスマホを落としてしまい、大騒ぎになりかけましたが、スタッフが見つけてくれて本当に助かりました。あの時はありがとうございました。次は砂浜が出てる時に行ってみたいですね〜
You don't need to change, but please bring a dry long-sleeve jacket.
着替えるまでもないけど、乾いた長袖上着を持って行ってください。

I had the opportunity to go snorkeling in Okinawa, and this was my second time. I felt secure participating with a Japanese instructor. Although we didn't see any sea turtles, they helped us search for spots where we might find them while considering our stamina.
They took care of everyone's valuables and provided changing areas, showers, and restrooms, but since it was a tour, everything was done efficiently. They also offered wetsuit rentals for a fee, explaining that it would help prevent injuries from coral and keep us warm. They advised us to keep swimming without lifting our heads when we found coral (lifting our heads would cause our feet to drop and hit the coral), so wearing just a swimsuit was fine.
The afternoon session was hot, so I didn't feel cold, but my thighs got sunburned while diving. They laid down mats on the sandy beach to keep things clean, and I appreciated the bottled water and snacks provided.
I wasn't used to the tipping culture and missed the chance to give a tip, so I thought it would have been easier if they had included the tip in the total amount when I paid the $25 entrance fee for Hanauma Bay. The service was excellent, so I recommend it even for those who are anxious about their English skills.
シュノーケリングは沖縄でやったことがあり2回目でしたが、日本語インストラクターで安心して参加できました。
ウミガメは見られませんでしたが、私達の体力を気にしつつ何度かウミガメがいそうな場所を一緒に探して下さいました。
貴重品は皆のをまとめて保管して頂けて、着替える場所やシャワー、トイレはありますが、ツアーなのでテキパキにという感じです。有料でスウェットスーツの貸出もあり、珊瑚で怪我しないようにするのと、寒さ対策できるとの説明はありましたが、珊瑚を見つけたら泳ぎ続けて顔を上げないように(顔を上げると足が下がってぶつかるため)アドバイス頂き水着でも大丈夫でした。また午後の回は暑かったので寒さは感じませんでしたが、潜っていても腿の裏が真っ赤に日焼けしてました。
砂浜で汚れないようにシートを敷いて下さったり、ペットボトルの水やスナック菓子も頂けて有難かったです。
チップ文化に慣れておらず渡しそびれてしまったので、ハナウマ湾の入場料25$をお渡しする際にチップも含んだ金額で仰って頂けたら、チップお渡ししやすかったかなと思いました。サービスは大満足なので英語が不安な方にもオススメです。
I recommend wearing a wetsuit and taking sun protection measures for snorkeling, as I got sunburned more than I expected.
想像以上に日焼けしたので、スウェットスーツを着たり、日焼け対策をしてシュノーケリングされるのをオススメします。

Beautiful spot, tide wasn't super low (which you can't really control) but the snorkeling was just mediocre, per my friends that did it. We were on the boat most of the time eating cup of noodles, the live music was awesome and one of the guys that took people out for the banana ride was super nice and fun to chat with. The guy handing out goggles was a bit all over the place, I stood in line twice to get my goggles and he kept giving everyone theirs as I just stood there waiting and I almost thought he was doing that on purpose as it happened 2x so I just gave up and said well I guess I'm not snorkeling today. That was a bit disappointing. I think for the price, it wasn't really worth it. There are better tours here on the island.
Aloha Trina,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.
We're glad to hear you enjoyed the live music and had a great interaction with one of our banana boat crew—those moments are what we love to hear about! That said, we're truly sorry to hear about your experience with the snorkeling gear distribution. That’s definitely not the level of service we aim to provide, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention. We’ll be reviewing this with our team to make sure all guests are treated fairly and promptly.
We understand that ocean conditions and value for cost are important, and we always strive to deliver an experience that feels worthwhile from start to finish. We hope you'll consider giving us another try in the future, perhaps during a lower tide when the sandbar is more visible and the water conditions are more favorable.

I also tried the bumper tube as an option, which was more intense and active than I imagined, but I managed to endure it (laughs).

However, they divided us into a foreign team and a Japanese team, and we had a great time throughout. They were also kind to families with children, which made me feel at ease. I was satisfied with seeing many sea turtles, and it looked like people were having fun playing beach volleyball at Angel's Sea. The lunch was also more delicious than I expected.
天使の海は他社を含めて四回目の体験です?悪い意味ではなく思った以上に人が多く初めて大型バスでのお迎えだったのでどうなることやらと心配しましたが、外国人チームと日本人チームに分けてくださり、終始楽しく過ごせました。子連れにも親切にしてくださり安心でした。海亀もたくさん見れて満足ですし、天使の海はビーチバレーしてる方もいらっしゃり楽しそうでした。ランチも思ってる以上に絶品です。
I wore long sleeves to protect against sunburn, but after getting used to it, the wind was strong and cold, so I ended up taking them off and swimming.
日焼け防止で長袖着ていきましたが、慣れた後の風が強くて寒いので結局脱いで泳ぐことになりました。

The staff was friendly, and there were enough staff members for participants to swim comfortably! They took the time to thoroughly explain safety precautions, such as not swimming at the back of the boat, and they were always watching over the participants. There was also a practice for the OK sign and help sign, which was reassuring. We were the only Japanese participants, but there were many children joining, and we were able to communicate and have fun. There was an incident where a participant's hat flew into the sea, but the staff returned the boat to the point where the hat was and jumped in to retrieve it. The snorkeling time was long, and if you get tired, you can return to the boat via the stairs! I highly recommend it!
スタッフはフレンドリーで、参加者に対してスタッフの数が多く安心して泳ぐことができました!
船の後ろ側は泳がないことなど、注意事項の説明も時間をかけてしっかりしてくださり、また、スタッフが常時参加者の様子を見ていました。
okのサインやヘルプのサインも事前練習があり、安心でした。
日本人参加者は我々だけでしたが、子供の参加も多く、楽しくコミュニケーションを取ることができました。
途中参加者の帽子が海に飛ばされるアクシデントがありましたが、船を帽子があるポイントに戻し、スタッフさんが飛び込んで取りに行っていました。
シュノーケリングの時間は長く、疲れたら階段から船に戻ることができます!お勧めです!
However, today the wind was very strong, and my companion seemed to be struggling with seasickness. I recommend bringing motion sickness medication.
ただ今日は風が非常に強く、同行者は船酔いで辛そうでした。。酔い止めを持参することをお勧めします。

The weather was nice, and I was able to encounter sea turtles while snorkeling. I also had a great time playing with the SUP.
天気も良くてシュノーケリングはウミガメにも遭遇できました
supも楽しく遊べて楽しかったです
If you are prone to seasickness, it may be necessary to prepare in advance.
船酔いしやすい方は事前に準備が必要かもです

This tour used to be quite popular, and I couldn't join before because it was always fully booked. I'm glad I could participate this time. The sea felt a bit cold, but I was able to go snorkeling. I also saw a sea turtle, and the freshly grilled hamburger was delicious! The Japanese guide was cheerful, and I had a great time.
このツアーは昔かなり人気だったようで以前は一杯で参加できませんでした。今回は参加できてよかったです。海は少し冷たく感じましたが、シュノーケリングもできました。ウミガメも見られて、ハンバーガーも焼きたてで美味しかった!日本語ガイドさんも陽気で楽しく過ごせました。
I recommend bringing something warm to wear, as the bus can be quite cold.
バスはかなり寒いので、しっかり羽織るものを用意していくことをおすすめします。

The drivers and the crew were very cheerful, kind, and made the experience enjoyable. The water was about waist-deep, but it was very clear, and I had a great time snorkeling and paddleboarding. There were also plenty of snacks available. It was so good that I would love to participate again.
送迎の運転手から船のクルーまでとても陽気で親切で楽しめました。海は腰くらいまではありましたがとてもきれいでシュノーケル サップ楽しめました。軽食も十分にいただけました。また 参加したいくらいよかったです。
Sunscreen is essential because it gets hot.
焼けるので日焼け対策は必須です

I encountered sea turtles several times, but the beauty of the ocean and the variety and number of other fish were not very impressive... It might be more enjoyable to participate in the sandbar activities.
ウミガメには何度か出会えましたが
海の綺麗さとその他の魚の種類や数はあまり…
サンドバーに頑張って参加するほうが楽しめるかも
It's inexpensive, but there's a reason for the low price...
安価だけど安価にはわけがある…

The sea was beautiful, and we had plenty of time to take photos, play with the stand-up paddleboards, floaties, and go snorkeling. We had an amazing time!!
The staff were all fun and kind. When I lost something, they continued to search for it even the day after we left, and I am very grateful for that. They made sure that the participants had the best time to create wonderful memories of their trip!!
It was such a great experience that I definitely want to go back if I have the chance to visit Hawaii again. 😊
海は綺麗で写真を撮る時間、サップ、浮き輪、シュノーケリングなど遊ぶ時間がたっぷりあり、思いっきり楽しめました!!
スタッフの方も楽しく、優しい方達ばかりです。
無くし物をした時は、私たちが帰った次の日も探してくれてとても感謝しています。
参加者たちの旅行が最高な思い出になるように最高の時間にしてくれました!!
またハワイに行く機会があったら絶対行きたいと思えるような時間でした(^^)
Please make sure to hold onto your important belongings! I dropped my iPhone in the sea (꒪д꒪II). I'm really grateful that the staff found it the next day. Everyone, please be careful! ( ;∀;)
大事なものはしっかり持っていてくださいね!!私はiPhoneを海に落としました(꒪д꒪II
