On the day of the tour, we had a plan for the afternoon, and it was just my husband and me participating. Our guide was Chieko, a very friendly Japanese woman. She was quite experienced, and she seemed to know everyone at Hanauma Bay. It had been quite a challenge for us since we participated in a snorkeling tour in Saipan 30 years ago, but Chieko efficiently taught us the snorkeling techniques, so we felt comfortable joining in. She also took underwater photos and shared them with us. She guided us expertly to points where many fish were swimming. To our surprise, we even saw a turtle. It was an unforgettable and wonderful memory. I’m really glad we participated. Hanauma Bay is thoroughly protected, so the water is very clear and beautiful, and the fish are impressively large. They grow big because they are protected. We saw mongooses playing on the beach. With the life jackets, we floated safely, and by moving our fins, we could swim forward. All we had to do was breathe through our mouths instead of our noses. My husband and I confidently recommend this tour to everyone.
当日は午後からのプランで、参加者は私達夫婦だけでした。担当はchiekoさん。とっても気さくな、日本の方でした。相当なベテランの方で、ハナウマ湾の係りの方は皆、知り合いでした。私達はなにしろ、サイパンで30年前にシュノーケルツアーに参加して以来のチャレンジですが、chiekoさんが手際よくシュノーケルの要領を教えてくれたので安心して参加出来ました。水中写真も撮っていただいてアップして下さいました。魚が沢山泳いでいるポイントを要領よく案内していただきました。なんと、亀も見れました。一生忘れられない素晴らしい思い出です。本当に参加して良かったです。ハナウマ湾は自然保護が徹底しているので、水はとっても透き通ってきれいですし、お魚さんのなんと大きいこと。迫力満点です。保護されているので、大きく育つそうです。海岸ではマングースが遊んでいました。ライフジャケットで体は浮いているので、安心ですし、足ヒレを動かせば前に進みます。後は鼻で息をしないで、口で呼吸すればいいだけです。私達夫婦はこのツアーを自信を持って皆さんに推薦します。
Thank you for participating in the tour. Since it had been a while since you last went snorkeling, we took our time practicing in the shallow waters before guiding you. It was truly wonderful to be surrounded by a school of convict tangs, swim with a large parrotfish, and finally meet a turtle! Thank you for swimming all the way from the right end to the left end of Hanauma Bay. We look forward to having you both join us for another tour when you come back to Hawaii. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
この度はツアーにご参加いただきましてありがとうございます。シュノーケリングは久し振りとのことでしたので、浅瀬でゆっくり練習してからご案内させていただきました。シマハギの群れに囲まれたり、大きなアオブダイと泳いだり、そして最後には亀にも会えて本当に良かったですね!!ハナウマベイの右端から左端まで本当に最後まで頑張って泳いでくださってありがとうございます。是非またハワイにお越しの際にはお二人でツアーに来てくださることをお待ちしております。
ありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

I want to start this review by saying that Kieko (our guide) picked us up at our hotel and I was not in the right pick up area. She was actually walking around calling out my name and found me. I cannot thank her enough!!!
The tour was about a half day long - we went in the morning, which I would recommend because it can get crowded at Hanauma as the day goes on.
We were able to lock up our valuables while we were in the water. The tram ride down and back up to the parking lot was awesome
As for the snorkelling - it was AMAZING. I cannot believe how many different species of marine life we saw. So much fun. I did not want to get out of the water!
Hi guys, glad you had a good time. Hope we see you again. Chieko.

I wanted to go to Hanauma Bay with a different tour company than last time, but it seems that the two plans listed on Veltra are from the same tour company. There is no difference in the guide's content between the two plans (only differences in the included fees). I'm disappointed that the plan names are different but it's the same tour company.
The guide was friendly, but I wonder if it's just me who feels a bit frustrated by how Americanized it is...
There was someone who got seasick. Those who can't swim might feel scared as the waves can pull you in. It requires stamina since you'll be swimming for about an hour.
前回と違ったツアー会社でハナウマ湾に行きたかったのですが、ベルトラに掲載されている2つのプランは同じツアー会社のようです。2プランともガイド内容に差はありません(含まれる料金の違い)。プラン名が違うのに同じツアー会社でがっかり。。
ガイドの方は気さくな感じですが、アメリカナイズされすぎていて少しイライラしてしまうのは私だけなのか…。
波酔いしている方がいました。泳げない人は波に体をもっていかれて恐怖感を感じるかも? 1時間ほど泳ぐので体力いります。
Dear Banana Man, thank you for joining our tour. There are only a limited number of certified guides who speak Japanese at Hanauma Bay, which can sometimes lead to this situation. I sincerely apologize for any disappointment this may have caused. Moving forward, we will review our shortcomings to ensure that our customers have a more enjoyable experience. We look forward to seeing you again when you visit Hawaii. Thank you. Mahalo!

My husband, at 66 years old, took on his first snorkeling adventure! I had to persuade him to join, so I read various experiences and decided that this tour was the best choice. It was a great decision. I was worried about my husband, who has nasal issues, when I heard the instruction, "Breathe through your mouth only, not your nose," but thanks to Chieko's excellent teaching, he didn't struggle with breathing and was able to enjoy about an hour of snorkeling without holding back the younger couples. We created wonderful memories with the beautiful sea and the adorable, colorful fish. What is the path to enjoying snorkeling? The path to meeting the fish? Dan guided us along that sea path and helped us meet the fish. I recommend renting a wetsuit as it has many advantages, such as protecting against injuries from coral and helping with buoyancy, as well as keeping warm. Dan took plenty of photos and uploaded them to Facebook, so we could download them to our smartphones. The only disappointment was that we didn't get to see any sea turtles. It seemed that the continuous hour of swimming was tough for my husband, and he mentioned that he was tired and wanted a break.
夫は、66歳で初シュノーケリングに挑戦!渋る夫を説き伏せての参加だったので体験談をいろいろ読んで ツアーはここしかないと決めました。大正解でした。「鼻呼吸はしない 口呼吸だけです」の言葉に 鼻の悪い夫が心配になりましたが、教え方の上手なチエコさんのおかげで呼吸が苦しくなることもなく、若いカップルたちの足を引っ張ることもなく 1時間ほどのシュノーケリングを楽しむことができました。きれいな海 可愛くきれいなお魚さんの数々 良い思い出が作れました。シュノーケリングを楽しむ道? お魚さんに会える道?なんでしょうか ダンさんがその海の道を案内してお魚さんに合わせてくれます。ウエットスーツは、サンゴからの怪我を避けるのと体が浮きやすくなる 寒さから身を守るなど利点が多いので借りることをお勧めします。写真もダンさんがいっぱい撮ってくれてフェイスブックにアップしてくれるので写真を自分のスマホにダウンロードできます。ただ残念だったのが、ウミガメさんには会えなかったことですね。1時間ぶっ続けのスイムは 夫にはきつかったみたいで疲れた 休憩ほしかったといってました。
Thank you for trying snorkeling for the first time with us. I apologize if your husband got quite tired. Our tour might involve more swimming than many other snorkeling tours (laughs). We really want you to see the beautiful fish in Hanauma Bay, so we tend to swim a bit too much. We always consider the sea conditions and tides of the day to guide you on the best route at that time. Next time, I will do my best to show you a sea turtle, so please come back with your husband for our tour again. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
この度は初シュノーケリングに挑戦していただき、ありがとうございます。旦那様にはかなり疲れさせてしまったようでごめんなさいね。私達のツアーは数あるシュノーケルツアーの中でも一番泳ぐかもしれません(笑)ハナウマ湾の綺麗なお魚達を沢山見て頂きたくて、ついつい泳ぎ過ぎてしまいます。いつもその日の海のコンディション、潮の満ち引きなどを考えて、その時のベストルートをご案内しております。次こそはウミガメをお見せできるように頑張りますので、またご夫婦で私達のツアーに来てくださいね。ありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

I participated in the afternoon session starting at 12:30. Fortunately, we were the only participants. According to the guide, there were nine participants in the morning session, which seems to be more popular, possibly because it allows for more effective use of time. In the afternoon, the water temperature is warmer, so for those who dislike cold water, the afternoon might be a better option.
The guide, who has lived in Hawaii for over 20 years, shared a lot of information about Hawaii during the round trip, which was very helpful. They also provided thorough instructions during snorkeling. The snorkeling masks were of good quality, designed to prevent water from entering through the nozzle. On that day, there were quite a few waves, and while swimming, I occasionally got splashed, but since water didn’t come in from above, it was easy to swim.
The snorkeling time was about an hour, but it flew by as I was swimming and looking for fish. I couldn't find any turtles, but I was able to see various types of fish, which was enjoyable.
12時30分からの午後の回に参加しました。参加者はラッキーなことに私達だけ。ガイドさんいわく、午前は9人の参加だったそうで、時間を有効に使えるからか、午前のほうが人気とのこと。午後は海の温度が上がっているので午前より水が冷たくないので冷たいのが嫌な方は午後のほうがいいかもしれません。
ハワイで20年以上暮らしているというガイドさんは往復の移動中もハワイのことを色々と教えてくれて、ためになりました。
シュノーケルの際も丁寧に教えてくれます。シュノーケルのマスクはいいもので、ノズルの先から水が入らないようになっています。この日は波がかなりあって、泳いでいるときも時々波をかぶることがあったのですが、上から水が入らないので泳ぎやすかったです。
シュノーケルの時間は1時間程度とのことですが、魚を探して泳いでいたらあっという間に過ぎてしまいました。亀は見つけられませんでしたが、色々な種類の魚を観ることが出来て、楽しかったです。
Thank you for participating in the tour with Blue Hawaii Divers. It’s not often that you get a private tour just for the two of you, so you were lucky! On that day, the tide was high and the waves were quite strong, so I thought sea turtles would come in close. I’m sorry we couldn’t show them to you. However, I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed your time. Please come back again, just the two of you. We are always waiting for you. Thank you. Mahalo!!
この度はブルーハワイダイバースのツアーにご参加いただきまして、ありがとうございます。お二人だけの貸切なんてそう滅多にないので、ラッキーでしたね!この日は満ち潮で波が結構入っていましたから、こんな日はウミガメはインサイドに入ってくるはず!と思っていたのですが、お見せできなくてごめんなさいね。でも楽しんでいただけたようで、嬉しく思います。是非またお二人で来てくださいね。いつでもお待ちしております。

It was my first time snorkeling, and the instructions were very thorough, allowing me to get used to it quickly! In the clear sea, I was able to see many fish, making it an incredible experience. During the transfer, the guide shared insights about the town, making for a fulfilling tour. While some people swam without renting a wetsuit, I found it warm and it provided extra buoyancy, so for someone like me who wasn't confident in swimming, it was the right choice to rent one.
初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、丁寧に説明してくださり、すぐに慣れることができました!透き通った海ではたくさんの魚を見ることが出来、感動的な体験となりました。送迎中も街並みを見ながらガイドしていただき、充実したツアーでした。ウェットスーツは借りずに泳がれている方ももちろんいましたが、温かく、浮力も増すため、泳ぎに自信が無かった私は、借りて正解でした。
Thank you for joining the tour with Blue Hawaii Divers. Having a wetsuit makes snorkeling incredibly easy for customers who are not confident in swimming!

The couple who are instructors worked together seamlessly. First, they took photos after we arrived at Hanauma Bay, and then we chose our fins. We rented wetsuits to prevent scratches from the coral and because the seawater was cold, which turned out to be a great decision! Thanks to this, both my child and I were able to enjoy snorkeling comfortably. I absolutely recommend it for sunburn prevention as well.
Before entering the water, they explained how to use the mask and snorkel in a very easy-to-understand way, and after we got in, they taught us how to move, which allowed my 6-year-old son to enjoy himself without any issues. They also took many underwater photos, creating wonderful memories for us!
After swimming, they prepared snacks and water for us, and we were grateful for it as we were craving hydration and salt! I would love to participate again when we visit Hawaii! Thank you very much!
ご夫婦でインストラクターをされているとのことで、息のあったお二人が担当して下さいました。
まずハナウマ湾に到着してから写真を撮ってくださり、その後足ヒレを選びました。
海水が冷たいこと、珊瑚での擦り傷防止にウエットスーツをレンタルしましたが、これは大正解でした!

日焼け防止の為にも絶対にオススメです。
水に入る前に、とても分かりやすくマスクとシュノーケルの使い方を説明していただき、水に入ってからも動き方を教えてくださったお陰で、6歳の息子も問題なく楽しむことができました。
また水中写真も沢山撮ってくださって、とても素敵な想い出になりました♪
泳ぎ終わったあと、スナックとお水を用意してくださっていて、水分&塩分を欲していた私たちはありがたくいただきました!

This was our first experience with snorkeling...but I was convinced that we could not go to Oahu and not see the ocean life for ourselves. Dan and Cheiko were great.
We paid for a group of 5 (3 adult, 2 children). We had to pay the full price to have my grandmother brought along, even though she was not participating. With that said it was suppose to be just our small group to the two guides. This was especially important to me as the two children could swim and the adults in our group could NOT swim well. It turned out two others joined us, so Chieko was mostly their guide and Dan was with the four of us. It was raining that day, so my grandmother was not able to come observe (so paid and not used). Although I was not expecting a refund for her experience necessarily, I was a little put off that we were then charged extra for the optional wet suits to keep us warm (given the weather that day). That really is the only thing I would improve, but given the nature of the business, that may be challenging.
Otherwise, it was FANTASTIC! Dan was amazingly patient and made the experience great. The children, although swimmers, panicked with the snorkel equipment and sea animals. The adult limited swimmers had a blast! Even on a dreary, rainy day. LOL! they took awesome pictures that we were easily able to download from their social media page, so one less thing to worry about doing especially given first time out. I would definitely recommend this experience no matter what skill level, it will not disappoint.
Hi guys, hope we see you again on a nice sunny day. Dan and Chieko.

I used the service in July 2016. Hanauma Bay was as beautiful as rumored, and the guide was friendly, with solid safety measures in place, making me feel secure and allowing me to relax and enjoy snorkeling. The life jackets were also comfortable to wear. Personally, I appreciated that many photos were taken, which was great, but I later realized that the system was to download the ones uploaded to Facebook, and since I didn't want to be featured, that was a bit unpleasant. Overall, I had a very good experience using the service.
2016年7月に利用させていただきました。ハナウマ灣は噂どおり美しく、ガイドの方はフレンドリー、安全対策もしっかりとしていて頼りがいがあり、リラックスしてシュノーケリングを楽しむことができました。ライフジャケットがつけ心地のよいものなのもよかったです。個人的な感覚ですが、写真をたくさん撮ってくださり、それはとてもよかったのですが、Facebookにアップしたものをダウンロードして受け取るシステムだったことをあとから理解したので、載りたくなかったので、それは少し嫌でした。総合的には利用してとてもよかったです。
Thank you for participating in our tour. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed it. However, I apologize for the issue regarding the photos on Facebook. Since few customers bring underwater cameras, we started this service to provide photos for everyone, and we use Facebook as a simple way to share them. Sometimes, there are guests who prefer not to have their photos taken, and we try to be careful not to include them, but it seems that I did not explain this well that day. I should have clarified it at the beginning, and I am truly sorry for any discomfort it caused.

Dan and Chienko were amazing! We went out into the bay at three levels of experience, my wife who had never snorkeled is now hooked! The photos taken were great, the tour lasted just the right amount of time, and these cousins were super awesome to talk to and chill with.
Thanks Stephen, It was a fun day. Glad you enjoyed. Hope to see you again. Dan and Chieko.

It's been about a month since I returned from Hawaii, and it has become my best memory. The instructor and the couple in my group were very friendly and it was a lot of fun! I encountered fish, turtles, and eels, and I even got some beautiful photos taken! The downloaded photos turned out really well, and I've been showing them off to everyone since I got back. If I have the chance, I would definitely like to participate again, and I would recommend it to everyone. Thank you for everything!
ハワイから帰ってきて約1ケ月経ちましたが、一番の思い出になっています。
インストラクターの方も、一緒のグループのご夫妻もとても気さくで楽しかったです!魚も亀にもウツボにも出会え、しかも綺麗な写真も撮っていただきました!
ダウンロードした写真は本当に綺麗に撮れており、帰ってからみんなに見せて自慢しています。
また機会あれば是非参加したいと思いますし、皆さんにおすすめしたいです。
いろいろありがとうございました!
Thank you for participating in the Blue Hawaii Divers tour the other day! I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed it. The turtle we saw at Keyhole was spotted by the husband of the newlyweds who joined us that day, right? The large white mouth moray eel was beautiful as well. I'm happy to hear you liked the photos! Please do join us again when you come back to Hawaii. Next time, I hope to take you out beyond the white waves.
Thank you. Mahalo!!
先日はブルーハワイダイバースのツアーにご参加いただき、ありがとうございました!!とても楽しんでいただけたようで、私も嬉しく思います。キーホールで見れた亀さんはその日にご一緒に参加されていた新婚さんの旦那様がたしか亀を見つけてくれた日でしたね。大きなホワイトマウスモオレイ(ウツボ)もきれいでした。お写真も喜んでいただけて良かったです!!ぜひまたハワイにお越しの際にはリピートしてくださいね。この次は白波を超えて沖の方までご案内できればと思っています。
ありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

I participated on December 8th. December in Hawaii is the rainy season, and it was rainy from the morning. If the weather had been better, the ocean would have looked clearer, but with the bad weather, the ocean was indeed dim. However, it was great to see many tropical fish and sea turtles.
12月8日に参加しました。ハワイの12月は雨季、朝から雨模様でした。天気が良ければもっと海の中は綺麗に見えたのでしょうが、やはり天気が悪いと海の中も薄暗く…。でも、多くの熱帯魚とウミガメと会えたのは良かった。
Thank you for participating in the tour. Hawaii is now in winter, and it has been particularly rainy lately. Unfortunately, we instructors cannot change the weather... However, on this day, the waves were calm, and the visibility and sea conditions were excellent, allowing us to swim out to the outer area. We headed out from the keyhole and immediately encountered a large school of surgeonfish, a rare sighting of a school of bigeye trevally, and we were able to see two turtles, which I thought would bring you joy, so I feel a bit disappointed. Please come back to Hanauma Bay on a sunny day next time. I hope your wife can join us instead of just observing next time! Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
この度はツアーにご参加いただきましてありがとうございます。ハワイも今は冬になり、最近は特に雨が多くなっています。お天気ばかりは私達インストラクターでも変えることはできないです、、、。でもこの日は波が無くて透明度も海のコンディションも最高に良く、アウトサイドの沖の方まで泳ぐことができた日です。キーホールから沖に向かい、すぐに巨大なシマハギの群れ、めったに見られないビッグアイジャック(ギンガメアジ)の群れ、そして亀は2匹も見ることが出来て、喜んでいただけたかと思っていましたので、ちょっと残念です。ぜひまたお天気の良い時にハナウマ湾に来てくださいね。次回はぜひ奥様も見学では無く、ご一緒にご参加下さいね!!
ありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

Since it had been raining since morning, I thought there wouldn't be any fish, but I finally got to see a turtle that I had been longing to meet! It was so close that I was almost scared to touch it! I was really happy! (^^)
Dan-sensei was very good at Japanese, and we all laughed and had fun during the car ride there and back! (^^)
Next time I go to Hawaii, I want to join the tour of Hanauma Bay or a diving tour!
朝から雨が降っていたため、魚はいないかなと思っていたのですが、念願のカメに初めて会えました!
すごい近くにいて触れてしまいそうで怖いくらいでした!笑 すごい嬉しかったです(^^)
dan先生が日本語がとても上手で、行き帰りの車もみんなで笑って楽しかったです(^^)
またハワイに行く時はこちらのハナウマ湾のツアーもしくはダイビングのツアーに参加したいです!
Thank you for joining the tour with Blue Hawaii Divers. Although the weather was unfortunate, it was a very lucky day as we spotted one turtle off the backyard and another in the shallow area of the same backyard. We also saw a large moray eel swimming. Please consider joining our diving tour at Hanauma Bay next time. If the sea conditions are good, we will guide you along the beautiful route beyond the white buoy. We look forward to seeing you again. Thank you for sending the photos. Mahalo!!
この度はブルーハワイダイバースのツアーに来ていただきまして、ありがとうございます。残念なお天気ではありましたが、この日はバックヤードの沖に亀が1匹、同じバックヤードの浅い所にも亀が1匹いてくれてとてもラッキーな日でした。大きなウツボが泳いでいるのも見れましたね。是非次回はハナウマ湾のダイビングツアーにもご参加下さい。ダイビングでは海のコンディションが良ければ、白ブイを超えて沖の綺麗なルートをご案内させていただきますよ。またお会いできるのを楽しみにしています。お写真を送っていただきましてありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
