Once again this year, I had the pleasure of being taken care of by Chieko-san, and it was a delightful and moving experience. My husband and I are 66 years old, so we were a bit concerned about our physical stamina, but we were amazed by the fish and turtles, and the hour flew by in no time. We were able to see a pair of turtles, and we also saw a turtle coming up to the surface for air. This year, we created the best memories once again.
昨年に引き続き今年もチエコさんにお世話になり楽しく感激しましたよ。主人と私は66歳なので体力的にどうかなと思っていましたが魚や亀に感激してあっという間の1時間でした。ペアの亀を観られたし呼吸のため水面から顔を出す亀もみられたし、今年も最高の思い出ができました。
If you want to see turtles at Hanauma Bay, I recommend this tour. However, it's not guaranteed that you'll see them.
亀をハナウマ湾で観たいならこのツアーがお勧めです。必ずしも観られるとは限りませんが?
Thank you for repeating the tour with us this time. It was great to see the turtles again this year! It's not guaranteed that you'll see them every time, so you were lucky.

I recommend this for those who want to go to Hanauma Bay quickly and simply, without the need for rentals or guides. You can watch an orientation video on the shuttle bus, allowing for immediate entry upon arrival. Since it's a plan that includes the entrance fee, there's no need to pay extra on-site, which lets you enjoy Hanauma Bay to the fullest without any hassle. It was fantastic. I also appreciated that they provided support in Japanese.
レンタルやガイドは不要で、とにかくシンプルに早くハナウマ湾に行きたい人におすすめです。
送迎のバス内でオリエンテーションビデオを見ることができるため、到着直後に入場が可能です。また、入場料込みのプランのため、当日現地で入場のためにお金を出す必要もなく、無駄なく最大限にハナウマ湾を楽しむことが出来ました。最高です。
日本語でも対応していただけたのもありがたかったです。
Since the snorkeling rental is not included in the package, you will need to either bring your own or rent it on the day.

I recently visited Hanauma Bay using a tour from Veltra. Among the many tours available, the fact that they provide free transportation along with snorkeling masks and fins was a great deal and a key factor in my decision to participate.
Additionally, children under 12 and Hawaii residents can enter for free by showing an ID, making it a very accessible spot for families and locals. It's a place that is usually difficult to visit individually, but thanks to the tour, I was able to go there with peace of mind.
The water is mostly shallow, creating an environment where even snorkeling beginners can enjoy themselves without any difficulty. A friend who joined me, who has snorkeling experience in Okinawa's Miyako Island, was constantly amazed, saying, "The fish in Hawaii are just so big and impressive!"
Furthermore, Hanauma Bay has a limit on the number of visitors, so it doesn't feel crowded, and both the underwater scenery and the landscape are beautifully preserved. I was able to fully enjoy nature in a quiet and calm atmosphere, and it truly became an experience that made me think, "I definitely want to visit again."
Overall, I was very satisfied with both the service and the environment of the tour. I highly recommend this spot for creating memories in Hawaii.
このたびベルトラのツアーを利用してハナウマ湾を訪れました。
数あるツアーの中でも、送迎に加えてシュノーケルマスクとフィンが無料で利用できる点が大変お得で、参加の決め手となりました。
また、12歳以下のお子様とハワイ在住者は、IDを提示すれば入場料が無料になるため、家族連れや在住者にとっても非常に利用しやすいスポットだと感じました。普段は個人では訪れにくい場所ですが、ツアーのおかげで安心して向かうことができました。
海は浅瀬が中心で、シュノーケル初心者の方でも無理なく楽しめる環境が整っています。同行した友人(沖縄・宮古島でのシュノーケル経験あり)は、
「ハワイの魚はとにかく大きくて迫力がある!」と、終始感動しておりました。
さらに、ハナウマ湾は人数制限が設けられているため、混雑感がなく、水中も景観もとても美しく保たれています。静かで落ち着いた雰囲気の中で自然を満喫でき、心から「また必ず訪れたい」と思える体験となりました。
全体を通して、サービス内容・環境ともに大変満足度の高いツアーでした。ハワイでの思い出作りに、ぜひおすすめしたいスポットです。

As a couple, it was our first time snorkeling and we were inexperienced with overseas travel, but a Japanese instructor came to pick us up in Waikiki. We were able to have fun conversations in the car, which made us feel at ease. Once we arrived at the location, the instructor patiently taught us everything, starting with how to wear the wetsuits.
We were taken to a spot where we could see sea turtles and had the wonderful experience of swimming alongside them! We also encountered beautiful schools of fish in Hawaii, and it was an amazing experience that we couldn't have had on our own! Additionally, the instructor took photos for us throughout the trip, allowing us to capture these memories perfectly, which we greatly appreciated!
夫婦共に初めてのシュノーケリングかつ不慣れな海外でしたが、日本人インストラクターの方がワイキキまで迎えにきてくださり、車内でも楽しくお話し出来て、安心して臨むことが出来ました。現地についてからはウェットスーツの着用方法から、全て丁寧に教えてくださいます。

To prevent cold and injuries from the water temperature, wearing a wetsuit is recommended! Also, for those who are prone to seasickness, I think taking motion sickness medication is essential.

For individuals, first, obtaining tickets is difficult. I tried twice at 7 AM when the online application opened, but there were many input fields, and within 10 minutes, it was sold out. I found this tour, which includes transportation and a snorkeling set, and signed up. The $25 entrance fee is not included, but if the tour is available, you can enter Hanauma Bay, so I recommend it. Previously, The Bus used to go close by, but it has now been discontinued, so you would need to rent a car or take a taxi, which means quite a bit of walking. This tour, which takes you to the entrance, is highly recommended. Even with broken English, it was fine.
個人で行くには、まず、チケット入手が難しく、朝7時のネット申し込みと同時に2回トライしたが、入力項目も多く、10分も経たずにsold out。
こちらのツアーを見つけ、送迎つき、シュノーケルセットつきで、申し込んだ。$25の入場料は含まれていないが、ツアーが空いていればハナウマベイにて入場できるので、おすすめ。
以前はザ・バスも近くまで通っていたが、今は廃止となり、レンタカーかタクシーで行かねば、かなり歩くことになるのて、入場口まで連れて行ってくれるこのツアーはおすすめです。
片言の英語でも、大丈夫でした。
If you have a sunshade, you can spend time comfortably even in strong sunlight. It would be good to have water shoes as well.

The guidance was in English only, and since my English skills are non-existent, I couldn't understand the conversation at all, but it seemed like the guide was doing their best. (I'm sorry...) It was a mixed taxi, but the air conditioning was extremely strong, so even someone like me who gets hot easily was shivering, so I think a jacket is essential. The weather was nice, and even though it was February, we could see the beautiful sunrise.

This was my first experience snorkeling abroad, so I felt very reassured by having a Japanese guide. Unlike regular beaches, Hanauma Bay offers a unique experience with entry restrictions and mandatory viewing of an educational video upon entry. I encountered sea turtles three times, and I was able to take great photos and videos with the rented camera. The fish in the coral reefs were large and impressive. Although the actual snorkeling lasted about an hour, I think it was just the right amount of exertion for us in our mid-fifties. It was truly enjoyable! Since it was November, I followed the guide's advice and wore a wetsuit, so I didn't feel cold at all. Additionally, I was advised to take motion sickness medication beforehand, which helped me avoid feeling unwell even when the waves were high. I really appreciated the guide's helpful advice.
海外でのシュノーケリングは初体験だったので、日本語ガイド付きという点でとても安心でした。また、普通のビーチと違い、入場制限や入場時の啓発ビデオ視聴が義務付けられているハナウマ湾ならではの体験ができました。ウミガメとの遭遇も3回もあり、レンタルしたカメラでもいい写真や動画を撮ることができました。また、サンゴ礁の魚たちはサイズが大きくて、見ごたえがありました。シュノーケリング自体は正味1時間ですが、50代半ばの私たちにとってはちょうどいい負荷だったと思います。本当に楽しかったです!11月ということで、ガイドさんのアドバイスにしたがいウエットスーツを着用したので寒さも感じませんでしたし、事前に酔い止めを勧められて服用していたので、波が高くても気分が悪くなることもありませんでした。ガイドさんの適切なアドバイスがとてもありがたかったです。

We gathered early in the morning and took about an hour to get to Hanauma Bay. I chose a plan with an English-speaking driver instead of one with a Japanese-speaking instructor or driver to save on costs, but I didn't have any particular issues. As long as I knew the meeting time and place for the return, I was fine.
Since it was early in the morning, it was still a bit chilly, so we leisurely claimed our spot on the sand and ate the breakfast we brought before going snorkeling.
We had about four hours, which I thought was more than enough time.
There were seals or sea lions on the beach, and we saw many fish while snorkeling. By the way, it seems that there are more fish on the left side of the beach.
Due to its popularity, people started arriving in droves around 10 AM, and it got crowded.
朝早くから集合して約1時間くらいかけてハナウマ湾へ行きます。
お値段を気にして日本語がわかるインストラクターやドライバーのプランではなく英語のドライバーでしたが特に困ったことはありませんでした。
帰りの集合時間と場所さえわかれば大丈夫です。
朝方なのでまだ寒いのでのんびり砂浜で場所とりして買ってきた朝ごはんを食べてからシュノーケリングしました。
時間は4時間ほどあるので十分すぎると思います。
浜にアザラシ?トド?がいたりシュノーケリングも多くの魚が見れました。

The instructors are experienced, so I felt at ease. They have great personalities, and I had a very enjoyable time. I was also satisfied to see many fish!
インストラクターの方は慣れているので安心です。人柄も良くとても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。また、たくさんの魚を見ることもでき満足です!

I actually wanted to go to Hanauma Bay and Sea Life Park, but it was good that I had enough time for just Hanauma Bay. I was a bit worried at first since there was only an English guide, but it wasn't much of a problem. Thank you very much.
本当はハナウマ湾とシーライフパークに行きたかったのですがハナウマ湾だけの方が
十分時間が取れてよかったです。
英語ガイドの対応しかななったので当初少し不安でしたがさほど問題はなかったです。ありがとうございました。

During my long-awaited trip to Hawaii, I wanted to try snorkeling at Hanauma Bay even as a solo traveler in my 60s, so I signed up for a tour. As many have shared in their experiences, Chieko and Dan's hospitality was wonderful. They efficiently and kindly taught us how to put on the wetsuits and how to use the equipment and fins, making it easy for beginners to enjoy. I was worried about whether I could keep up at my age, but Chieko frequently checked in with me, asking, "Are you okay?" while guiding me along. I was thrilled to swim alongside sea turtles for quite a long time. I also got to meet a sleeping seal.
Thank you so much, Chieko and Dan. Please continue this tour for everyone and stay healthy!
久しぶりのハワイで、60代の一人旅でもハナウマ湾のシュノーケリングに挑戦したくて、ツアーに申し込みました。体験談で皆さんが書いていますが、ちえこさんとダンさんのホスピタリティが素晴らしく、ウエットスーツの着方から用具・フィンの付け方などテキパキと丁寧に教えていただき、初心者でも安心して楽しめました。高齢の私がついていけるか心配でしたが、ちえこさんが、時々「大丈夫?」と確認しながら手を引いて誘導してくださいました。ウミガメとかなり長い間一緒に泳げて感激しました。寝ているあざらし君にも会えました。
ちえこさん、ダンさん、ほんとにありがとうございました。これからもどうぞお元気で、皆さんのためにこのツアーを続けてくださいね。
I was worried that a wetsuit would be hot in the middle of summer, but that was not the case at all. I thought it was necessary to avoid injuries.
真夏はウエットスーツは暑いかと心配しましたが、そんなことはまったくなく、ケガをしないためにも必要だと思いました。
Thank you for choosing our tour among many options. It seems you were very lucky to enjoy both sea turtles and seals this time. We are also very happy that you were able to fully enjoy snorkeling with safety as our top priority. If you have the opportunity to come to Hawaii again, please join us for another tour. We welcome repeat customers with open arms! Please take care of yourself, and we look forward to seeing you again. Thank you. Mahalo!!
この度は数あるツアーの中から弊社のツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございました。今回は海亀&アザラシとダブルで楽しんでいただけたようで、とてもラッキーなお客様でしたね。安全第一でシュノーケリングを満喫していただけて、私達もとても嬉しいです。またハワイに来る機会がありましたら、ぜひツアーに来てくださいね。リピート大歓迎です!!お体に気をつけて、またお会いできます事を楽しみにお待ちしております。ありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

Meeting at 5:40 AM before sunrise is indeed early, but we were still among the fourth or fifth group to enter the site. We rented a paid option for a parasol and chair set, which I highly recommend due to the strong sunlight. In the morning, there are relatively fewer people, making it enjoyable. Around 10 AM, we had an incredibly lucky surprise when a monk seal suddenly came up on the beach to rest, just about 10 meters from our base. My grandchild had been talking about wanting to see one since before coming to Hawaii, so it was great that we could make that happen by chance. There is a law requiring a distance of over 15 meters from monk seals, so it’s also a good memory that our base had to be moved quickly.
日の出前の5時40分集合はさすがに早いが、それでも現地では4組〜5組めの入場グループでした。有料OPでパラソル・チェアセットをレンタルしましたが、日差しが強いのでぜひお勧めします。午前中はヒトも比較的少なく楽しめます。10時頃に私たちのベース基地から10mくらいの場所に突然にモンクシールが砂浜にあがってきて休憩するという超ラッキーサプライズに出会えました。一緒の孫がハワイに来る前から会いたいと話していたので、偶然にも叶えてあげられてよかったです。モンクシールには15m以上距離を取らなければいけない法律があるので、我々のベース基地は速攻移動させられたのもいい思い出です。
The tour to Hanauma Bay on Sunday does not have a Japanese-speaking guide, as far as I can confirm, so it will only be an English-speaking driver. However, I think it won't be a problem as long as you
日曜日開催のハナウマベイツアーは、確認した限りは日本語ツアーはなかったため、英語ドライバーの送迎だけですが、入場料集金と帰りピックアップ時間だけ理解できれば、問題無いと思います。

The staff were very polite and kind, and there was absolutely no worry about communication in Japanese. I was able to enjoy my time safely and happily from start to finish. Their character was truly wonderful, and I entrusted everything to them with great confidence. Unexpectedly, there was a wild seal sleeping on the beach, safely protected with cones and ropes to keep humans at a distance, which was impressive. Such a cute sight! While swimming, I encountered beautiful fish and turtles that touched my heart. Even if you're not confident in your swimming skills, the instructors guide you well, and I believe you'll be able to fully enjoy the beauty of Hanauma Bay!
なんと言っても、スタッフさんがとても丁寧で優しくて、日本語対応も全く心配ないですし、最初から最後まで安全に楽しく過ごせました。お人柄が本当に良くて、とても信頼してお任せしました。予想外にも野生のアザラシが浜辺で寝ていて、人間が近づかないようにコーンやロープで安全に保護されていのは感動しました。とても可愛い姿!水泳中には綺麗な魚さんや亀さんとお会いして心を打たれました。泳ぎに自信がなくても、インストラクターの方々がしっかりと誘導してくれますし、たっぷりとハナウマ湾の美しさを堪能できると思います!
Thank you for participating in the tour. We are very happy to receive your kind words. It is quite rare to see both seals and turtles, so I believe you were truly fortunate. Please do come back to Hawaii again. We are always waiting for you. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
この度はツアーにご参加いただき、ありがとうございます。お褒めのお言葉をいただき、スタッフ一同とても嬉しいです。アザラシと亀とを両方見る事ができるのはそうないですから、本当に幸運なお客様だったと思います。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。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!!

It was difficult for me to make a reservation for Hanauma Bay on my own due to scheduling issues, so I took advantage of this plan that allowed me to have a reservation and enjoy my time at Hanauma Bay freely. I was anxious about my English speaking skills, but there was a guidance sheet in Japanese, and the driver was able to understand our limited English, which made communication enjoyable. The entrance fee was collected by the driver, and a participant from an English-speaking country paid for everyone.
Since it was my first time snorkeling, I borrowed a life jacket. In the early morning, it was a bit chilly, so the life jacket helped keep me warm and was also useful for snorkeling. Even in shallow areas, I could see fish swimming, including the humuhumunukunukuapua'a! I would like to request this again if the opportunity arises. Thank you very much.
自力でハナウマ湾の入場予約を取るには日程の都合で難しく、予約を取っていただける+自由にハナウマ湾で遊べるこちらのプランを利用させていただきました。
英語のスピーキングに自信がなく不安でしたが、日本語での案内シートがありドライバーの方も私達の拙い英語の意味を汲み取ってくださり楽しくコミュニケーションが取れました。入場料金はドライバーさんが集め参加者の中にいた英語圏の方がまとめて支払ってくださいました。
初のシュノーケリングだったのでライフジャケットも借りました。早朝だと少し肌寒いくらいなのでライフジャケットが防寒になり、シュノーケリングの助けにもなり役立ちました。浅いところでもお魚が泳いでいてフムフムヌクヌクアプアアも見られました!
また機会があればお願いしたいと思います。
ありがとうございました。
As I mentioned in the text, the life jacket was very helpful for warmth and safety in the early morning. This is the opinion of a beginner, not an advanced snorkeler.
本文にも書きましたがライフジャケットが早朝の防寒、安全のためとても役立ちました。シュノーケリング上級者ではなく初心者の感想です。
