The transportation and everything else was taken care of perfectly. It's reassuring that there is always someone who can speak Japanese, and there were plenty of turtles to see, so it felt like we had a turtle tour as well. 🤣
Meals and drinks were included, and there were plenty of activities besides snorkeling, which was great. On the bus ride there, they provided explanations of the tourist spots (in English, but it's simple enough to understand), so I think it's a good idea to go on the first day. ☺︎
送迎から何から何まで至れり尽くせりでした。必ず日本語が話せる人がいるので安心ですし、亀もたくさんみれるので亀ツアーもしたようなもの🤣
食事飲み物もついていてシュノーケル以外にもアクティビティ豊富で良かったです。行きのバスで行きながら観光地の説明(英語ではありますが簡単な英語なのでわかります)もあったので初日とかに行くといいと思います☺︎

The water was about waist-deep, but it was beautiful. It was great to see both sleeping and swimming sea turtles while snorkeling around the coral reefs. On the boat, there were spam rice balls, snacks, coffee, miso soup, and soft drinks, which were a nice treat for my tired body.
腰くらいまで水がありましたが、綺麗でした。シュノーケルでは、珊瑚礁で寝ている海ガメも、泳いでる海ガメもみれてよかったです。
船上では、スパムおむすびや、おかし、コーヒー、味噌汁、ソフトドリンクもあるので、疲れた身体に嬉しかったです。

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 sea was very beautiful, and I was able to swim with many fish. Above all, I was really happy to encounter a sea turtle!

We visited in November again, just like last year, but this year we faced terrible weather with strong waves and cold temperatures, which made it quite challenging. However, my two elementary school-aged sons remembered last year's experience and chatted a lot with the crew! This year, it seems that the honu (sea turtles) came very close to us often! I didn't snorkel with my face in the water, but while playing and taking photos in the shallow area, they came right up close to me!
At SAP, the rain and wind were strong, and my son said, "This year is tough!" (laughs) Still, we had a valuable experience, enjoyed warm drinks and chatted on the boat, and even ate spam musubi, which was fun! Our family promised the ladies that we would come back next year!

We had an early morning meeting, but they arrived on time to pick us up. 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。

For the Kailua Beach tour, I was advised to go to Lanikai first, and I followed that suggestion. It's about a 2-mile walk from the shop to Lanikai. Walking in the blazing sun with kids was tough. I planned to go to Lanikai in the morning and Kailua in the afternoon, but I barely managed to return from Lanikai and grab lunch.
However, Lanikai's beach was as beautiful as I saw on TV. The natural beach, different from Waikiki, was amazing. Next time, I want to try sea kayaking with my kids.
I will definitely go again!

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.

時間は4時間ほどあるので十分すぎると思います。

I participated in October, and it wasn't cold, so I didn't need to rent a wetsuit. The bus ride to and from the location might have been colder due to the air conditioning. The seawater felt a bit cooler than Waikiki Beach.
I attended with my mother, who is in her 70s, but it seemed like we inflated her life jacket too much, causing her to float on her back and not be able to snorkel properly. There was a stick-like flotation device on the boat, and I thought we should have borrowed that from the beginning.
Also, the vegetable wrap for lunch came with sauce, but it was filled with tasteless beans, which was quite disappointing.
That said, we were able to see a pod of dolphins and sea turtles, and above all, we enjoyed the magnificent scenery. The staff were cheerful and kind, and the singing and dancing were fun; I especially found the male hula dance interesting since it was my first time seeing it.
However, it was unfortunate that the floor wasn't very clean and the restroom had a persistent odor.
10月の参加でしたが寒くなく、ウェットスーツは借りなくて大丈夫でした。行き帰りのバスの方が冷房が寒いかもしれません。海水はワイキキビーチより少々冷たい感じでした。
70代の母と参加しましたがライフジャケットに空気を入れすぎたのか浮力でくるくると上を向いてしまってうまくシュノーケリングできませんでした。
船に棒状の浮き具がありましたので、それを最初からお借りすればよかったと思いました。
あとお昼のベジタブルラップはソースはついているものの無味の豆が沢山入っていて何とも微妙でした。。
ともあれイルカの群れもウミガメも見れましたし、なにより雄大な風景が楽しめました。
スタッフの方も明るく親切で歌やダンスも楽しく、特に男性フラダンスは初めて見たので面白かったです。
ただ床があまりきれいではなかったのとトイレが終始匂っていたのは残念でした。
Motion sickness medication is essential. For those who are not physically active during snorkeling, I think borrowing a float will allow you to relax and float leisurely.
酔い止めは必須。シュノーケリングの時に運動不足の方は浮きをお借りした方がのんびりプカプカできると思います。
Thank you very much for participating and for your very kind and warm review. Your detailed comments based on your actual experience regarding the sea conditions in October and the bus air conditioning will be incredibly helpful for future guests.
I apologize for the inconvenience caused when your mother had difficulty snorkeling due to the buoyancy of the life jacket. I regret that our staff did not provide sufficient prior information. We will work on improving our communication to offer necessary support more proactively, such as suggesting floatation devices.
I also sincerely apologize for the vegetable wrap not being to your taste, as well as for your comments regarding the cleanliness of the boat and the smell of the restroom. We take your feedback seriously and will make improvements to ensure a more comfortable experience for our guests.
That said, we are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the dolphins, sea turtles, beautiful scenery, and the staff's dances and songs. We hope that seeing the male hula was a memorable part of your experience.
Your suggestions about motion sickness remedies and floatation devices are greatly appreciated and will be helpful for future guests. Thank you for sharing your insights.
If you have the opportunity, we would love for you and your family to come back and visit us again. Our staff will continue to strive to provide a more comfortable and enjoyable tour.
Thank you once again for your warm feedback.
Mahalo! 🌺

It started to rain after we got on the boat, and even though it cleared up, the view wasn't very beautiful. I felt like the time went by shorter than I expected. The staff were kind, which was nice.
船に乗ってから雨が降ってきてしまって晴れたけどあまり綺麗に見えなかった。。
思ったより時間が短く感じた。
スタッフの方は優しくてよかった。
Thank you for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. We hope you will come back to experience the sandbar in a different light. We look forward to seeing you again.

At the snorkeling spot provided, there are always turtles, and you can capture photos of them. The coral itself isn't very beautiful, but encountering turtles is a rare experience in Japan, making it worthwhile. You can also enjoy stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), but this time the water depth wasn't suitable for a sandbar, so it might be necessary to choose the right season.
付属のシュノーケリング場所には必ず亀がいて写真に納めることが出来ます。
サンゴ自体は綺麗ではないけど亀に出会えるのは日本ではなかなか無いので良い経験です。
SUPも楽しめますが、今回はサンドバーとは言えない深さの水深でしたので時期を選ぶ必要はあるかもです。
Should I check the water depth at the sandbar?
サンドバーの水深は調べた方が良いです?
Aloha! Thank you very much for joining the Captain Bruce's Heavenly Ocean Tour. We look forward to seeing you again in the Heavenly Ocean, along with the sea turtles. A hui hou!

I made a reservation for a day I could go, so I wasn't quite sure where the sandbar was since the sea was quite deep, but the scenery was dreamily beautiful, and I was very satisfied to see sea turtles! Even if you get tired from swimming, you can take a break on the boat, and you have quite a bit of freedom to enjoy your time on-site. There were light snacks provided, which gave it a picnic-like excitement. Since the food was available at any time, we ate when we came back to the boat for a break. The driver who picked us up also gave us a tour of the area while driving, making the journey enjoyable! I want to go again!
行ける日にちに予約したのでけっこう海が深くてどこがサンドバーなのかよくわかりませんでしたが夢のように美しい景色が広がっており、ウミガメも見れたので大満足です!
泳ぎ疲れても船で休憩したり、現地では割と自由に過ごせます。
軽食がついており、ピクニックのようなウキウキ感がありました。
いつでも食べられるようになってるので私たちは休憩に船に上がって来た時に食べました。
送迎のドライバーさんも周辺を案内しながら送ってくれるので道中も楽しく過ごせました!
また行きたいです!
Since you'll be going home in a wet swimsuit, it can get quite cold, so I think a jacket is essential.
濡れた水着のまま帰ることになるのでけっこう寒いので上着は必須だと思います。
Aloha! Thank you very much for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Pacific tour. We look forward to seeing you again in Paradise with the sea turtles. A hui hou!

I was worried about the pickup location, but I confirmed it the day before, so I was able to arrive on time. The shallow sea was amazing; I could see beautiful fish underwater while standing, and it wasn't scary at all.
ピックアップ場所が心配でしたが、前日に確認したので遅れずに行けました。
遠浅の海で、足が付いた状態でも海中にいる綺麗なお魚が見えて怖くなくて最高でした。
It's a good idea to bring a leisure sheet when sitting on the beach.
海岸に座る際のレジャーシートは持っていった方が良いです。

I don't speak English, but I had no problems with the pick-up and drop-off. I had requested a life jacket via email the day before, so it was smoothly provided. The timing for playing at Hanauma Bay was just right.
私は英語ができませんが何も問題なく送迎してもらいました。ライフジャケットも前日にメールでお願いしていたのでスムーズに貸してもらえました。ハナウマ湾で遊ぶには時間も丁度いい感じでした。
It's cold when it's cloudy.

The sandbar was very beautiful, and I was lucky enough to encounter a turtle. Those who had booked the same time as us were split into two boats, and we enjoyed snorkeling and free time at different times.
After receiving an explanation about snorkeling, my mother asked, "Is it okay for me to go since I can swim?" and was told firmly, "We can't know if you can swim or not. You have to decide for yourself." This made her anxious, and she decided not to go. Since this trip was meant to be a way to show appreciation to my mother, seeing her sad face after being spoken to so coldly made me really sad.
Everyone else went snorkeling, so while we were waiting, a staff member from another boat came over and said that if she could swim, she could join the snorkeling group. They also offered paddleboards and floaties, but all of that was from the other boat. There was no encouragement from the staff on my boat for those who weren't going snorkeling at that time.
I understand that they need to be strict to prevent accidents and that they can't take responsibility, but I wish I could have experienced it with the staff from the other boat who communicated in a kinder way. It was disappointing.
サンドバーはとても綺麗で運よくカメに出会うことができました。
同じ時間に船を予約してい方が二つの船に別れており、
時間を変えてシュノーケリングとフリー時間を楽しむ形でした。
シュノーケリングの説明を受けた後に、「泳げるから行っても大丈夫かな?」と母が質問したところ「あなたが泳げるかどうかは私たちにはわからないから。自分で決めて。」と強く言われ、不安になってやめました。親孝行で行った旅行だったので冷たく言われ悲しそうな顔をする母を見てすごく悲しくなりました。
私たち以外はみんな行っていたので時間を潰していると別の船のスタッフの方が話しかけてくれて、泳げるなら泳げる人の捕まっていけばシュノーケリングも大丈夫だよ。と案内してくれました。暇そうにしているとサップや浮き輪も案内してくれましたが、全部別の船の方。私が乗った船の方からはシュノーケリングに行っていない人へその時これしてていいよ〜など声掛けはありませんでした。
もちろん事故に遭わないために強くいうことや責任をが取れないことも承知していますが、これなら優しく伝えてくれる別の船の方で体験したかったなと思い残念でした。
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. We sincerely apologize for the unpleasant experience caused by our staff during your valuable time in Hawaii. Your feedback is extremely important to us, and we will use it to improve our staff training and service. Thank you very much.

Communication was excellent from booking, to handing out equipment, to snorkeling instructions, to keeping group on-time and together, etc. I had complete confidence in the hosts' professionalism and adherence to safety protocols. Furthermore, they were personable and so interesting. The ride to/from the bay was almost as engaging as the snorkeling. The day I went the conditions were perfect: the water was clear and there were so many fish and even a turtle. Truly, the experience was wonderful from start to finish.
