We had an excellent adventure on our morning trip. The crew was great and took care of every possible detail to ensure all the guests had a good experience.
The live music was an added bonus that we truly enjoyed! Highly recommend this as a great way to spend a few hours on the water.

You can see turtles. 亀が観られる

Reviewed by: tachijp

I visited Hanauma Bay for the first time in 30 years. We arrived in an 8-passenger van before the parking lot opened, but there were quite a few cars lined up. Thanks to our guide departing early based on the previous day's situation, we were able to enter quite smoothly. It seems that tour guests can enter preferentially. Before descending to Hanauma Bay, we watched a video and received explanations, which took about 30 minutes. We descended about 30 meters down a steep slope in a large buggy that holds around 15 people. In the past, there were many fish near the shore because people fed them, but now there aren't as many. Following our guide, we were shown the areas where the fish are, from the left side of the bay to the right. Along the way, we were able to see a turtle. Additionally, we spotted a whale spouting outside the bay.

30年ぶりにハナウマ湾に行きました
8人乗りのバンで、駐車場の開場前に着きますが、結構車が並んでいます
ガイドさんが前日の様子から早めに出発したため、結構スムーズに入場できました
ツアー客は優先的に入場できるようです
ハナウマ湾に降りる前に、説明、ビデオを観るので、30分ぐらいかかります
ハナウマ湾までは、30mぐらいの急な坂を15人乗りぐらいの大型バギーで降ります
以前は、餌を与えていたため、波打ち際まで多くの魚がいましたが、今は余りいません
ガイドさんに従って、湾の左側から右側まで、魚がいるところを案内してくれます
途中でカメを観ることができました
また、湾の外にクジラの潮吹きが見られました

We had such a such a great time with Dan and Keico. They were very caring, excellent services. We saw a school of fish, beautiful tropical fishes, and a turtle! We would not be able to venture so far without their guide. Dan’s Japanese was exceptionally good, it is hard to believe he learned it in Hawaii! Thanks for the unforgettable experience!

Kaneohe Bay was an unforgettable day on the water! The crew was welcoming and friendly, the music set the perfect vibe, and there were plenty of fun water activities to enjoy. The spacious deck provided a comfortable spot to relax right at the Sandbar, and the snorkeling experience was incredible, with some of the best fish to see up close. Highly recommend!

So much fun! Thank you to Captain and Crew!

Reviewed by: Kel

We had a blast at the sandbar! The boat ride there was fantastic with great music and a fun crew. Once there we got to hop on the Banana Boat w/ Captain Calvin and he really made sure we were comfortable with the speed (thumbs up for faster, shaka for same speed, and thumbs down to slow it up). In addition to that helped setup a ride back to the shuttle spot since my aunt had trouble walking that far. The staff there are the best!

We got lucky and went by some sea turtles while out there on the banana boat. They swam right beneath us!

There was also live music on the boat and it was sooo good. Great songs, great musicians and singers. Wow!

We also got to kayak around and tried the stand-up paddle board for the first time. It was amazing to be out in the ocean surrounded by the beauty of the water and green mountains. It's truly magical, and I hope it stays that way forever. We should all respect it and guard it.

This should be a "must do" when traveling to Oahu!

My first time at Hanauma Bay, and I wasn't sure about the arrangements like needing a reservation as an individual, but having a guide made me feel secure. They took us quite far out for snorkeling, and I encountered a honu (sea turtle). I had snorkeled many times in Okinawa, but this experience was on a completely different scale. It was very enjoyable and became a great memory. Thank you very much.

Because of that, I decided to make a comeback this time, and I was able to participate in the best conditions with clear skies and low tide! Moreover, the local staff remembered me and came to talk to me, which made me very happy! I also got to see a lot of sea turtles, and it was so much fun! Both times, the same driver was there, and I really like him! I want to participate again!

1回目は天気が悪く寒くて、海のコンディションも最悪で正直あまり楽しめませんでした。。

The water level varies depending on the time of year, but 行く時期によって水位は違いますが、

Reviewed by: てつ

This was my second experience. The first time was in November, and this time in January, so the water level was around waist height and there was no sandy beach, but it was still an amazing experience. The first time was a bit cold, and I felt chilly when I got out of the water, but this time the water temperature was a bit higher, and I was able to enjoy myself comfortably.

We took a boat to the point, and the staff's service was truly wonderful. Their desire to make sure we had fun was clearly felt.

My wife was not good at swimming and said she couldn't do the sea turtle watching, but with the support of the staff, she was able to experience snorkeling for the first time in her life and was very happy. We were also able to see sea turtles clearly.

Additionally, when I mentioned it was my second time, they even gave us a souvenir. I already want to go for a third time. As others have commented, it can be cold depending on the timing, but they provided warm drinks, spam onigiri, miso soup, and snacks for free, which allowed us to enjoy ourselves until the end. Thank you very much.

今回2回目の体験でした。
前回は11月、今回は1月なのでどちらも水位は腰ぐらいで砂浜はありませんでしたが、それでも最高の体験でした。
1回目は少し寒く水から上がると寒く感じましたが、今回は少し水温も高く快適に遊べました。
船でポイントまで行くのですが、スタッフの方の対応が本当に素晴らしい。
楽しませてくれようとする気持ちがヒシヒシと伝わってきます。

妻が泳ぐのが苦手で海亀ウォッチだけは無理と言っていましたが、スタッフの方のサポートで人生初のシュノーケリングまで体験できて非常に喜んでいました。
海亀もしっかり見れました。

また、今回2回目だと伝えるとお土産までくれました。3回目も行きたくなりますね。
他の方のコメントでもありましたが、タイミングによっては寒いですがそれに対する温かい飲み物の用意やスパムおにぎり、味噌汁、お菓子などを無料で用意してくれていて最後まで楽しく過ごせました。

Three sea turtles 3匹の海亀

Reviewed by: MaoTomo

It was an incredibly satisfying snorkeling experience! All the concerns I had were addressed by the two staff members. I was particularly worried about managing valuables like my wallet, passport, and smartphone, but they provided a locked case for safe storage, which made me feel secure.

Moreover, I was deeply moved when I unexpectedly encountered three sea turtles swimming right in front of me, which is said to be a rare experience.

We swam quite a bit, but since children can participate, I'm sure anyone can manage it! Since it was a January morning, it felt a bit chilly after swimming, so I was glad I brought a hoodie and a towel.

As long as I don't oversleep, it will definitely be the best day! If I come to Hawaii again, I would absolutely want to sign up for this tour.

Thank you so much!

大満足のシュノーケリングでした！！
不安に思っていたことは全てスタッフのお二人が解消してくれました。
特に、財布やパスポート、スマホ等、貴重品の管理が不安でしたが、鍵付きのケースにまとめて保管していただけるので安心でした。

また、あまり出会うことの出来ないと言われる海亀が、偶然3匹も目の前に現れ一緒に泳いでくれたときはとても感動しました。

けっこう泳ぎましたが、子どもが参加することもあるくらいなので、きっと大丈夫です！
１月の朝ということもあり、泳ぎ終わったときは少し寒かったので、パーカーなど羽織るものやタオルを持っていっていて良かったと思いました。

寝坊さえしなければ
最高の1日になること間違いなしでしょう！
もしまたハワイに来ることがあれば
必ずこのツアーに申し込みたいと思えるほどです。

At the beginning of January, there are no sandbars due to the rainy season, and the water is about waist-deep. However, you can enjoy plenty of kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and snorkeling. We also tried the banana boat, which was quite intense. The live music on the boat was excellent, and all the staff spoke a bit of Japanese and engaged with us a lot, which made it very enjoyable.

Touristy Trip

Reviewed by: Please Don't Feed the Fish!

We took our teenage daughters on this tour. Staff were friendly and the day went smoothly overall. I was very disappointed to see that the staff chum the waters (feed the fish) in order to make this a better snorkel experience for guests. Feeding the fish makes them more aggressive, leads to overpopulation and affect their health.
While we appreciated the live music on board and music played over speakers when in the water, the loud cheesy music on the way home was just too much (Baby Shark, Gangnum Style etc. ) This may appeal to some tourists but just created a very loud experience and took away from our enjoying the natural beauty around us.

I would like to thank our guides, Chieko and Dan, once again! I have experienced many tours like this, but I was truly impressed by your hospitality.

The night before, I received an email informing me that "Hanauma Bay is expected to be crowded due to the holiday, so we will pick you up 15 minutes early." It was very considerate of you.

The pickup and entry to Hanauma Bay were smooth, and you provided clear instructions on where to position ourselves to watch the explanation video.

For the early morning course in December, I hadn't reserved a wetsuit, but you advised me that it would be better to wear one because it was cold, and I was able to rent one on the spot.

My daughter (10 years old) brought her own snorkeling gear, but you kindly helped us switch the tube part to a high-spec rental item.

The snorkeling was amazing! With Chieko and Dan guiding us, and Chieko holding my daughter's hand, we were able to swim until the end and even see a sea turtle. It was a thrilling experience.

I definitely want to use your services again. Thank you very much!
