Even better than I thought it would be! This was my first time snorkelling and I was a bit nervous, but our guides were very patient and helpful. They made me feel totally comfortable about the whole process. We saw so many fish, including whole schools of fish swimming just centimetres away from us, and even a sea turtle.
Hi Helen, glad you had a good time. You did great! Hope we see you again. Dan and Chieko.

We participated as a couple.
Chieko's refreshing smile and flawless service when she picked us up at the hotel blew away any worries, and I had a feeling this tour would definitely be fun.
That feeling was spot on! The snorkeling at Hanauma Bay was sparkling and dreamlike, and I even want to try scuba diving with Chieko next time. (I probably will, haha.)
I believe we were able to see the sea turtles and the rare schools of giant trevally thanks to Chieko, who knows Hanauma Bay inside and out! The photo with the sea turtle that she took is a precious treasure.
Thank you so much for teaching us the beauty and value of the underwater world!
I look forward to next time as well!♪
夫婦で参加しました。
宿泊ホテルまでお迎えに来てくれたChiekoさんの爽やかな笑顔とそつのない対応に不安は吹っ飛び、このツアーは間違いなく楽しいだろうと予感しました。
予感は的中!ハナウマ湾のシュノーケリングは今思い出しても全てが夢のようにキラキラして、Chiekoさんと一緒なら今度はスキューバダイビングもやってみたいと思うほどです。(多分やりますw)
当たり前の様にウミガメさんに会えたのも、珍しいギンガメアジのグルグルを見れたのもハナウマ湾を知り尽くしたChiekoさんだからこそだと思います!撮っていただいたウミガメさんとのツーショットは大切な宝物です。
海の世界の美しさ、そして尊さを教えて下さり本当にありがとうございました♡
また次回もよろしくお願い致します♪
Tetsuyan123 and Moo, thank you for coming together this time. It was the day when one participant returned to the beach after a while, and I took you out to the sandy area of the heart offshore. The giant trevally always swims in a swirling manner like that! It was beautiful!! I'm glad the turtle came close as well. I would be happy if you could repeat your visit when you come back to Hawaii. I look forward to seeing you again. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
てっちゃん123&むう様、この度はお二人でお越し頂き、ありがとうございます。この日はお一人で参加されていた方が途中でビーチにお戻りになった後に、沖のハートの砂地までお連れした日でしたね。ギンガメアジはいつもあんな感じでぐるぐる渦巻きで泳いでいるんですよ!綺麗でしたね!!亀さんも近くまで来てくれて良かったです。是非またハワイにお越しの際にはリピートしていただけたら嬉しいです。またお会いできるのを楽しみに待っています。

My spouse and I participated in a snorkeling tour. Our instructor, Chieko, provided explanations about Hawaii during the ride, which really got us excited. When we arrived at Hanauma Bay, the waves were calm and the weather was perfect, allowing us to swim close to sea turtles! I highly recommend this snorkeling experience. However, even though I took motion sickness medication, I still felt a bit seasick, so if you're prone to motion sickness, please be careful.
Thanks to our instructor Chieko, I feel like I'm falling in love with the charm of Hawaii.
夫婦2人でシュノーケリングツアーに参加しました。

Dear Lavender, thank you for joining the Blue Hawaii Divers tour.
It was a lucky day with low tide and calm waves, allowing us to head straight out to sea. We encountered a turtle right after heading out and were able to swim together for a long time. We also met another turtle at Black Point, making it truly a fortunate day.
Please come back to Hawaii again, and we hope to see both of you repeat the experience! We are always here waiting for you. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

We did the snorkeling tour with Chieko and Dan and it was amazing. Their help and information was appreciated. My boyfriend was terrified of sinking and Dan explained it thoroughly which gave him the confidence he needed to do it. We saw sooo many out of this world fish it was like an acquarium, and even a turtle! We had plenty of time to explore the entire bay and you go plenty deep to see some amazing marine life. It was a once in a lifetime experience so thankyou Blue Hawaii Divers!

It was me and my friend’s first time snorkeling and Dan was extremely patient. At first, I was uncomfortable with breathing under water, but Dan made sure that I relaxed myself and held on to me during the practices to ensure that I was comfortable. He took great photos for us and took us further down to see a lot of fishes and we even saw a turtle towards the end of the tour! I would highly recommend Blue Hawaii Divers to anyone who wishes to book a tour for snorkeling. It is not necessarily just for beginners, we swam in groups and there were people who have snorkeled before. On the way back to the hotel, Dan gives great suggestions on where to go, and he also gives great recommendations for food spots.
Hi Sherry,
Glad you guys had a good time. Hope we see you again.

I stayed at a small hotel, and they came to pick us up properly. The guide was surprised, saying, "It's rare to see Japanese people staying here!" as it seems that Japanese often stay at famous hotels.
We headed to Hanauma Bay in a larger vehicle that could accommodate about eight people. We participated in the afternoon session, and although the parking lot seemed full, thanks to the guide's connections, we were able to enter.
At Hanauma Bay, watching a video before snorkeling is mandatory, and we were guided by our guide to watch the video. After that, we took a shuttle down to the beach.
At the beach, they managed our belongings and valuables by providing security boxes. They also lent us mats and allowed time for changing.
We put on life jackets and got ready for snorkeling.
It seemed to be high tide, and there were waves that made it difficult to move at times, but the guide was always with us, so we could snorkel without getting lost in the sea. We were able to see fish. The guide took us to a spot where we might see turtles, but we ended up feeling seasick from the waves and had to return early. The guide was considerate of our condition, and those who felt okay were taken to other spots with another guide, so I would like to try again!
They also took photos, which made me very satisfied, but it was unfortunate that I got seasick.
However, since they were attentive to our well-being and adjusted to the participants' pace, I highly recommend this tour! I strongly suggest that those who are not confident in their physical condition bring motion sickness medication.
小さなホテルに宿泊していましたが、きちんと迎えに来てくださいました。「日本の方が泊まっているなんて珍しいと思います!」と、日本人は有名ホテルに泊まっていることが多いそうで、驚かれました。
ハナウマ湾までは8人ほど乗れる大きめの車で向かいます。
私たちは午後の部に参加したのですが、駐車場が満車のようでしたが、ガイドさんの顔パスにより私たちは入場することができました。
ハナウマ湾ではシュノーケリング前にビデオ鑑賞が必須となっており、私たちもガイドさんに案内されビデオを鑑賞しました。
そのあとはシャトルで浜のほうに降ります。
浜では荷物や貴重品をセキュリティーボックスに入れてくださるなど、きちんと管理してくれます。
ゴザもかしてくれたり、着替えの時間も設けてくださいました。
救命用具もつけていざシュノーケリング。
満潮時のようで、波がありうまく進むことができないときもありましたが、常にガイドさんがついてくださり、海のなかで迷うことなくシュノーケルすることができました。
魚もみることができました。
亀がいそうなスポットのほうまで案内してくれましたが、私たちは波で酔ってしまい、途中で帰ることになりました。
体調を気遣ってくださり、大丈夫な方たちはもう一人のガイドさんとほかのスポットまで連れていってもらっていたので、またリベンジしたいと思います!
写真も撮ってくれて大満足でしたが、酔ってしまったので残念でした。
ただ、体調を気遣ってくれたり、参加者のペースに合わせてくれるので、とてもおすすめのツアーです!
体調に自信のない方は酔い止めなどを持参することを強くおすすめします。
Thank you for joining the tour with Blue Hawaii Divers. Dan and I are certified instructors for Hanauma Bay, so even if the parking lot is full and you can't get in, we can still accommodate you. Additionally, no matter how long the line is for purchasing entry tickets, our tour guests do not have to wait in line. That’s what sets us apart from other tours. I'm sorry to hear that you experienced seasickness this time. I hope next time you can take some motion sickness medication before leaving the hotel, so you can enjoy Hanauma Bay even more. We look forward to seeing you again. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

Waikiki was in the rainy season, and on that day, it was pouring rain on and off. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great, but my parents (in their 60s) and my 10-year-old child really enjoyed snorkeling at Hanauma Bay. The water temperature was low and a bit chilly, so we rented suits for $10 on the day. The guide, who also provided transportation, was very kind, and the three of us, being first-time snorkelers, were very pleased with the attentive service. I definitely recommend going with a guide!
I stayed at Hilton Hawaiian Village and mistakenly misunderstood the meeting place until the day of the event, and I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. I was unsure of what to do, so I was grateful to receive a call on the day. I would like to try again when I travel next time, hopefully in clear weather!
ワイキキは雨季か伸びており、当日も土砂降りの雨が降ったり止んだり・・生憎のお天気でしたが、両親(60代)と10歳の子供はハナウマ湾でのシュノーケルをとても楽しめたようです(^^) 水温が低く肌寒かったので、当日10ドルでスーツをお借りして潜りました。送迎兼インストラクターの方がとても親切だったようで、シュノーケル初の3人は丁寧な対応にとても喜んでいました。皆さんにも是非ガイド付きをおススメします‼︎ 当方、ヒルトンHVに宿泊し当日まで集合場所を勘違いしており、大変ご迷惑をお掛けし申し訳ありませんでした。どうしていいかわからなかったので、当日連絡を頂けて助かりました。また渡航の際、快晴の時に再チャレンジしたいと思います‼︎
Dear Ayu, thank you for joining the Blue Hawaii Divers tour. The weather was a bit rainy at times, but the visibility in the water was great due to the low tide, making it beautiful. I hope you were able to see various types of fish. I appreciated you answering your phone during the pickup. I hope that next time you can come with your whole family, and if the sea conditions are good, I would love to guide you out to the outside area. I hope for clear skies then! I look forward to seeing you again. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

Our guide was cheerful, efficient (this is important when getting novices into a wetsuit!), and informative. She asked us what we wanted to see, and when my daughter said turtles, she took us straight to two turtles after an introductory snorkel lesson. This was my second trip to Hawaii, and I was so glad I finally took a lesson. For the next week, I was able to finally relax, enjoy, and see a lot of interesting sea life. The snorkel at Haunama was spectacular also.
Thanks guys, glad you enjoyed. Hope we see you again.

The weather was cloudy with some waves, and the visibility wasn't great, but thanks to Dan and Chieko's excellent guidance, we encountered a honu (sea turtle) twice. We also came across large schools of fish and saw many colorful and rare fish.
Since my older child is 12 and my younger one is 6, they took breaks along the way. When my younger child's glasses slipped and caused a panic, they quickly helped out. My wife, who can't swim because she's afraid of water, was kindly taught how to manage. We encountered the honu again.
We ended up retiring partway through because my younger child got tired, but he seemed satisfied. I would love to do this again if the opportunity arises.
For those considering snorkeling, I highly recommend it. However, it seems there are days when the weather and waves can be challenging, so users need to understand that aspect.

I was able to snorkel without any anxiety because they explained the methods and sea conditions in detail in Japanese. I hadn't reserved a diving suit in advance, but they suggested that it could help prevent cold and injuries, so I borrowed one on the day. Even with the suit on, I got quite cold after about an hour of swimming, so I was really glad I could borrow it. I was moved to see not only a variety of fish but also a sea turtle up close. They picked me up from the hotel and dropped me back off, which made for a comfortable experience. They also shared various information about Hawaii during the car ride, which was helpful.

The weather wasn't very good on the day we experienced it, and the water temperature was low. We hadn't applied for a wetsuit in advance, but the guide recommended that we rent one on the spot for an additional $10. I'm really glad we borrowed the wetsuits! It was cold, and since we swam in shallow water, if we hadn't had them, I think I would have been shivering from the cold and scraping my knees.
Although the weather was bad and the water clarity was low, we were lucky enough to encounter turtles twice.
The guide spoke fluent Japanese, and I was able to casually ask various questions.

I've done snorkeling a few times domestically, but Hawaii is on a whole different scale (laughs). The fish are larger, and I even got to meet a sea turtle! It was truly moving!! It's definitely better to have a wetsuit! The rocks and coral can hit your feet. The snorkel was also the type that doesn't let water in, so I didn't end up drinking seawater even after swimming for a long time♪ The guide was very kind, and I definitely want to go again.

A.N様、この度はブルーハワイダイバースのツアーにお越し頂き、ありがとうございます。楽しんでいただけて本当に嬉しく思います。この日は最初のカメをA.N様が見つけてくださってみんなで見ましたね!!その後キーホールに戻った時に2匹同時に泳いでいるカメを見つけて、全部で3匹も見ることができたとてもラッキーな朝でした。ヒラメやウツボ、アオブダイなどなどこの日の魚はとても大きかったです。是非またお二人でリピートしてくださいね。いつでもお持ちしております。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

It was drizzling on the day, but since it was Hawaii, the rain stopped by the time we went into the ocean. The weather was a bit chilly for swimming, but since I had borrowed a wetsuit, it felt manageable. Thanks to the Japanese staff, I was able to swim comfortably and have fun! I was thrilled to encounter three sea turtles. I highly recommend this for anyone wanting to go snorkeling in Hawaii.
当日は小雨だったのですが、ハワイの天気なので海に入る頃にはやんでいました。海に入るには寒い天気でしたが、ウエットスーツを借りていたのでそこまで、まだ入れるなという感じでした。日本人スタッフのおかげで、安心して楽しく泳ぐことができました!なんとウミガメに3匹も遭遇することができ感動しました。ハワイでシュノーケリングをしたいと思っている人はおすすめです。
Thank you, Ponz-chan, for visiting with your friends on your graduation trip. The weather was a bit chilly with cloudy skies in the morning, but we were incredibly lucky to see three turtles in the ocean, and we spent about half of the tour swimming with them! Days like this are rare. We also saw a large flounder and a big swimming moray eel... we saw a lot of things. If you come back to Hawaii, we would love for you to join us again, and next time we can guide you further out to sea. We are always here for you.
Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
ぽんずちゃん、この度は卒業旅行でお友達とお越し頂き、ありがとうございます。お天気は曇り空でちょっと肌寒い朝でしたが、海ではものすごくラッキーで3匹もカメに会え、ツアーの半分くらいはカメと一緒に泳いでいましたね!!こんな日は滅多にないんですよ。それと大きなヒラメや大きな泳いでいるウツボ、、、いろいろ見ましたね。是非またハワイにお越しの際にはリピートしていただけましたら、次回は沖の方をご案内させていただきます。いつでもお持ちしております。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

I was finally able to meet a sea turtle! The instructions were very thorough, and the explanations were plentiful, making it easy to understand and feel comfortable participating. Thank you for a truly enjoyable and wonderful time!
念願のウミガメに会うことができました♪丁寧に教えて頂き、説明もたくさんして頂いたので分かりやすく安心して参加できました。本当に楽しい素敵な時間をありがとうございました!
Dear Icchan, thank you for joining the Blue Hawaii Divers tour. I'm very happy to hear that you enjoyed it. On that day, we swam from the left end to the right end inside, and then went out to search for turtles. It was great that you were able to encounter a turtle while swimming in the ocean. Both of you did very well. I hope you will consider repeating the experience with either a diving or snorkeling tour when you come back to Hawaii. We are always here waiting for you.
Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
いっちゃん様、この度はブルーハワイダイバースのツアーにお越し頂き、ありがとうございます。楽しんでいただけたようでとても嬉しく思います。この日は左端から右端までインサイドを泳ぎ、その後、アウトに出てカメを探した日でしたね。沖で泳いでいるカメさんと遭遇できて良かったですね。お二人ともとてもお上手でした。是非またハワイにお越しの時には体験ダイビングでもシュノーケリングツアーでもリピートしていただけたらと思っています。いつでもお待ちしております。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

Well planned tour. Excellent and friendly guide. Best of all it rained and we pretty much got the bay to ourselves. Would definitely recommend it and do it again.
Hi Catherine, it was a fun day. Hope we see you again. Dan.

Great trip. Well organized, all the equipment provided. Guide knew exactly where to find some rare animals. Pickup was from a hotel a quarter mile from where we were staying in Honolulu. Try to go at high tide if possible.
Thanks guys, glad you enjoyed. Hope we see you again. Dan.

The weather was great, and the sea was very beautiful! The tour guide was very kind, and even though I hadn't rented a wetsuit, they had it ready for me. I had left the money at the hotel, but it was fine to pay later! I'm really glad I rented it! I wasn't cold, and I enjoyed myself without drowning! I even saw three sea turtles! You absolutely have to go!
天気もよく海がとてもきれいでした!添乗員さんがとても親切で、ウエットスーツを借りていなかったのですが、準備してくださっており、お金もホテルにおいていましたが後払いで大丈夫でした!借りて本当に良かったです!寒くなく溺れず楽しめました!海亀も三匹みれました!絶対いくべきです!
Dear Tomorin,
Thank you for joining our tour with six people. The conditions on that day were perfect, with calm waves and great visibility, so we took you out to the open water. Right after we set out, we spotted a turtle. After returning your friend who wasn't feeling well back to the beach, we headed out again. We saw another turtle at Witch's, and before heading back inside, we encountered yet another turtle at Black Point. It was a truly lucky day to see turtles at every stop!
We hope to see you again on another tour when you visit Hawaii.
Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
ともりん様、この度は6名様でツアーにお越し頂き、ありがとうございます。この日は波もなく透明度もよく綺麗でしたので、直接沖の方にご案内致しました。沖に出てすぐにカメを1匹、その後具合の悪かったお友達の方をビーチに戻した後に再び沖へ。ウィッチーズでまたカメを1匹、そしてインサイドに戻る前にブラックポイントでまたまたカメを1匹と行く先々でカメに会えてとても幸運な日でした!!是非またハワイにお越しの際にはツアーでお目にかかれればと思います。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

Three women participated. Luckily, we were able to see two sea turtles, which was very exciting! Wearing wetsuits was definitely the right choice as it protected us from the cold and the coral. In fact, one of us was a beginner who couldn't swim and was experiencing the ocean for the first time. She was really scared when it came to putting her face in the water, getting water in her ears, and not being able to breathe through her nose. At one point, she even cramped up and we worried she might have to give up. However, thanks to the kind support of our instructor Chieko, she managed to complete the one-hour snorkeling session. We are very grateful for all the help. She was really happy to have had a great experience. So, even those who can't swim can participate with peace of mind, and there's no doubt that you'll feel glad you joined!
女3人で参加。ラッキーな事に2匹のホヌに会うことができてとっても興奮しましたウェットスーツ着用により、寒さやサンゴから身を守ることができたのでお借りして正解でした(^^)/ 実は今回、泳げない&海水浴初体験者がひとりいて、本人は顔をつけることや耳に水が入ること、鼻から呼吸ができないことから、浸水時にとっても怖がり、また、途中、足がつったり…と一時はリタイヤか⁈と心配しましが、インストラクターChiekoさんの親切なサポートにより、初体験の彼女も何とか1時間のシュノーケリング を終えることができました。大変お世話になりありがとうございました。本人も、良い体験が出来たことをとても喜んでおりました。ですので、泳げない方も安心して参加できますし、参加して良かった!と思えること間違いなしです。
Thank you for bringing your family of three on the tour. The afternoon was beautiful with the low tide, and it was wonderful to see two sea turtles. Hanauma Bay is not very deep, and you can quickly spot many fish among the rocks, and if you're lucky, you might even see a turtle. Even for first-timers, as long as you get used to breathing through your mouth without using your nose, the jacket will keep you afloat, allowing you to enjoy the experience with peace of mind. We hope your family will come back again. The second time should make snorkeling even easier for you. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
この度はご家族3名様でツアーにお越しいただきありがとうございます。この日の午後は引き潮で水中も綺麗でしたし、何より2匹のホヌに会えて良かったですね。
ハナウマ湾はそれほど深くないですし、でも岩場を見ればすぐにお魚がたくさん見えますし、ラッキーだったらホヌにも会えるんです。初めての方でも鼻を使わないお口からだけのシュノーケル呼吸に慣れていただければ、ジャケットのお陰で絶対に沈みませんし、安心して楽しんでいただけます。是非またご家族皆様でリピートしてくださいね。2度目はもっと楽にシュノーケルができるはずですよ。本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

It was my first experience snorkeling, but thanks to the guide, I was able to swim happily, and it became the best memory!
シュノーケリング初体験でしたが、ガイドの方のおかげで楽しく泳ぐことができ、最高の思い出になりました!
Dear Mi-yan, thank you for joining our tour for your graduation trip. The weather was great that afternoon, and it was lucky that you had a private snorkeling tour just for the two of you. It was wonderful to see the cute turtles right in front of you. Even though it was your first time, both of you did very well. Please come back to Hawaii together again once you start working. I look forward to seeing you again. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
みーやん様、この度は卒業旅行でツアーにご参加くださり、ありがとうございます。この日の午後はお天気も良く、お二人だけの貸切シュノーケリングツアーでしたのでラッキーでしたね。かわいいカメさんも目の前で見れて良かったですね。初めてなのにお二人ともとてもお上手でしたよ。ぜひ社会人になられてもまたお二人でハワイに遊びに来てください。またお会いできるのを楽しみにしております。本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

There were five of us in total, including ourselves. The guide was really kind and entertaining! It was my first time snorkeling, and without the guide, I would have had no idea how to swim while putting on the gear. During the experience, we were able to see sea turtles twice, and we even got some photos taken. They asked if we needed wetsuits (for $10) when we participated. The guide strongly recommended it, so we decided to get one, and I truly believe I would have been cold and caught a cold without it. While it would be fine for just playing in the water at the beach, they mentioned it was necessary since we would be swimming for over an hour, and I am really grateful for that.
If I have friends going to Hawaii, I would definitely recommend this tour!
私達を含め計5人のグループでした。
ガイドの方が本当に親切で面白く案内をして下さいました!
初めてシュノーケルをしましたが、ガイドさんがいなければ器具をつけながらの泳ぎ方など、全く分からずだったと思います。
また、参加中にはウミガメを2回も見ることができ、写真も撮って頂けました。
参加の際にウエットスーツがいるかどうか聞いて下さいました(10$)。ガイドの方が強く推して下さったのでお願いしましたが、もしなければ寒くて風邪をひいていたと思います。。
ビーチでの水遊び程度であれば無くても大丈夫だが、1時間以上泳ぐので必要と言ってくださり、本当に感謝しています。
またハワイに行く友人などいれば是非オススメしたいツアーでした!
Thank you for participating in the Blue Hawaii Divers tour. The morning tour is particularly cold, so a wetsuit is highly recommended during this time. It was great that you were able to see sea turtles twice. I'm glad you were able to view the underwater photos as well. Please come back to see Dan when you visit Hawaii again. We are always waiting for you.
Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
この度はブルーハワイダイバースのツアーにご参加くださり、ありがとうございます。午前のツアーは特に水温が低いので、この時期にはウェットスーツは本当にお勧めなんです。ウミガメにも2回も会えて良かったですね。水中写真も無事見ていただけたようで良かったです。またハワイにお越しの際にはダン先生に会いに来てくださいね。いつでもお待ちしております。

I went on the shuttle bus knowing that the bay was beautiful from above. Quick however thorough instructions on the equipment. Once you get used to it the beauty you find in the clear waters are amazing. After this outing everything was stress free for me. All I can say is if you can swim you had not miss this.
