Hanauma Bay Snorkel Tour with Expert Guide & Waikiki Transportation

An experience of a lifetime, thanks Dan

Reviewed by: Colorado Springs

Very great tour, picked up on time, friendly conversation. This was my first time snorkeling, and Dan, our guide, was terrific. I and my 11 year old are non-swimmer and Dan was very patient and worked to insure we had a great experience. We actually went pretty far out and Dan was besides us and checking on us to make sure we were ok. He was prepared with good equipment, got us through the Haunauma Bay entry easily, and took us on a wonderful swim with loads of fish to see. I would do this snorkeling tour again.

When I went to Hawaii, I definitely wanted to interact with wild dolphins! So I decided to join this tour.

There’s a reason why the morning gathering is so early.

I was truly moved when a pod of dolphins appeared right in front of me!

The sea turtles were adorable too!

The local staff kept us entertained until we got off the boat, and I was very satisfied!

So, I booked other tours as well.

ハワイに行ったら絶対にイルカ野生のイルカと触れ合いたい！

朝の集合が早朝なのには訳があるのですね〜〜

目の前にイルカの群が現れた時には感動ものでした！

海亀もかわいい！

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング　ベテラン日本語ガイドがご案内する少人数制ツアー　貸切プランあり＜半日＞

Hanauma Bay Veteran Guide Snorkeling Tour ハナウマ湾　ベテランガイド付きシュノーケリングツアー　

Reviewed by: くりこ

In late December, I participated in a snorkeling tour at Hanauma Bay. It was my first time snorkeling, and since my 7-year-old son was with me, I felt like I might have been a bit of a hassle for the instructor, but thanks to them, we were able to enjoy snorkeling. That day, I was suffering from severe jet lag and was incredibly sleepy, so in the end, I didn't join the tour and played in the sand with my child on the beach. I think it's better to go after you've adjusted to the time difference, as it requires quite a bit of physical energy. On the way back on the trolley, I spoke with the person sitting next to me, and they mentioned that around December, if the weather is good, it's not too hot, making it perfect for snorkeling. However, the instructor said that during that time, the weather can be unpredictable, and just last week, they were shivering while getting into the water. We were fortunate to have good weather.

12月下旬、ハナウマ湾シュノーケルツアーに参加しました。シュノーケルも初めてで、7歳の息子も一緒だったため、インストラクターの方には迷惑をお掛けしたかと思いますが、おかげでシュノーケルを楽しむことができました。その日は、時差ボケがひどく、眠くてしょうがなかったため、最後はツアーには行かず、浜で子供と砂遊びをしていました。かなり体力を使うので、到着して時差にも慣れた頃に行ったほうがいいと思います。帰りのトローリーで、となりに座った方と話しましたが、12月ごろは天気が良ければ、暑すぎないのでシュノーケル日和だとのことでした。ただ、その時期は天候に恵まれないこともあって、先週は震えながら水に入っていましたよとインストラクターの方はおしゃってました。天候に恵まれて、良かったです。

We have a family of 7 and everyone was extremely excited to go. 3 of us had experienced the Snuba back in March. It was awesome that the crew remembered us. We were treated exceptionally well. The crew sat with those that were a bit apprehensive about the Snuba and created a relaxed atmosphere and worked with them and made it just as enjoyable for them. It was awesome! We have two 12 year olds and they did a wonderful job. We saw Dolphins, turtles and tons of fish. We would recommend this adventure to anyone and would gladly do it again and again.

Reviewed by: Ｎ．M

I participated with my five-year-old son. The staff were very friendly and entertaining. This is my third time participating, and every time, it's amazing to see my son’s skills improving. Thank you so much! We were able to see a sea turtle again this time (my five-year-old son was very excited, as he always is).

The lunch served on the boat was also very delicious! There were ham sandwiches, cookie potato chips, fruits, waffles, and salad—much more luxurious than I expected! We couldn't go snorkeling yet, so we stayed behind, but they lent us floaties and allowed us to play leisurely after snorkeling. They even provided a bodyboard for kids that lets you see underwater, and my son had a great time playing with it! Meanwhile, I enjoyed my lunch while watching them.

I highly recommend this! I believe families with small children can enjoy it thoroughly!

五歳の息子と二人で参加しました^^
スタッフの方はとっても気さくで楽しませてくれます。
三回目の参加ですが参加する度に当たり前の事ですが息子のできる事が増えていくのでいつもとっても楽しませて頂いてます。ありがとうございます！
今回もウミガメも見れましたし(参加する度に毎回見れていますが五歳になった息子は大興奮)

There are a lot of fish. お魚がたくさん

Reviewed by: のぶりん

As expected from Hanauma Bay, where regulations are well established, the number of fish was incredible. I've snorkeled several times in the beautiful waters of Okinawa, but it doesn't compare. Hanauma Bay is full of colorful fish whose names I don't know, including the Yagara. Unfortunately, I didn't encounter any sea turtles, but it's definitely a place I want to visit again. I hope to go before I get too old. Since I'm not very good at English, I really appreciated the guidance in Japanese. It allowed me to focus on observing the fish with peace of mind.

さすが規制がきちっと整っているハナウマ湾なだけあってお魚の数がはんぱではなかった。
沖縄の海もきれいなので何度かシュノーケルをしましたが、比になりません。
ハナウマ湾は名前のわからないカラフルな魚・ヤガラなどなど、とにかく多いです。残念ながらウミガメに遭遇することはできませんでしたが、是非また行ってみたい場所です。そんなに歳とらないうちに行きたいな。
英語があまり得意ではない私は、日本語での案内がとても良かったです。安心して魚観察に夢中になれました。

We gathered early in the morning while it was still dark. On the ship, the handsome crew entertained us by dancing and singing, but despite going without eating anything in the morning, we only received a single hamburger for lunch. There were no fruits as mentioned in the itinerary either. In the end, there was no hula lesson after disembarking, and we were just taken back to our hotel and dismissed. There was no information provided about the absence of the hula lesson. We returned to the hotel by noon. I felt it was disappointing that, despite paying a high price to participate, the planned itinerary was not followed.

早朝暗いうちから集合。

Amazing views...like a postcard!

Reviewed by: Katie Morales

We loved snorkeling at Hanauma Bay! We could see fish all around us in waist-deep water, and even though it was busy, there was plenty of space to have our own experience. The food in the snack bar was good (although a little pricey), and I liked that we could rent life jackets and stoppers for our snorkels from the company once we got there. Just make sure you bring extra money for the entrance fee, tram (it saves a lot of uphill walking), equipment rental, and food. You can also bring food on the beach, so pack some snacks and water to save some cash.

I was able to see sea turtles five times! The guide was also enjoyable! The tide was just right, and the water at the sandbar was about 20 cm deep, so I am very satisfied.

However, couples on their honeymoon should be cautious.

After arriving at the sandbar, we were made to take group photos. I was surprised to find myself waiting in line at the sandbar.

I rated it two stars, but overall, I would like to give it five stars; however, I had to rate it this way because I really disliked this particular point.

ウミガメは5回会えました！ガイドの人も楽しかったです！
潮の具合もよくサンドバーでは足元20cmぐらいの深さでしたので大変満足してます。

I wanted to see that beautiful heavenly sea once more, so this time I joined the morning tour. The sandbar had quite a bit of water up to my waist before high tide, and there were few fish for snorkeling, plus I didn't see any sea turtles... I think the early morning tour I took last time was better, even though it was a bit colder; the water level was lower, there were more fish, and I was able to see sea turtles, which was really moving! However, I thought the staff's service and Captain Bruce's meals were good.

もう1度あの美しい天国の海をみたくて今回は午前ツアーに参加しました。サンドバーも満潮前で割と腰迄水が有りシュノーケリングも魚は少なくホヌも見れず…前回の早朝ツアーの方が多少寒くても水位が低く魚も多くホヌもみれて感動したかな⁈でもスタッフの対応やキャプテンブルースの食事は良かったと思います。

After arriving at the port from the bus, we were served some light snacks like bread. Lunch was also provided around the time for snorkeling, and both were fairly tasty.
I felt that snorkeling wasn't as free and playful as I had hoped, but I was really happy to swim alongside a baby sea turtle that passed by.

The sea is too beautiful! きれいすぎる海！

Reviewed by: まぁさん

We participated as a couple on our honeymoon.

On the day we joined, as I had researched beforehand, the water was about waist-deep even in shallow areas, and it felt great to walk in the beautiful, clear sea under the blue sky. Regarding snorkeling, I can swim, but it was difficult to swim in the flowing sea without being able to touch the bottom. It was hard to breathe until I got used to the equipment, and I almost bumped into others while moving as a group, which posed a risk of drowning. I believe one should be aware of these risks before participating. I write this seriously, but if you think, "I can probably swim, so it should be fine," it might be better not to take the challenge lightly. After all, if an accident happens, it ruins the fun you were looking forward to. This sentiment was reflected in the staff's words when they explained snorkeling on the boat. Even though the atmosphere on the boat was relaxed throughout, it was tense during this explanation. However, that was reassuring. The staff provides solid support, so if you can swim, I encourage you to give it a try. Since sandbar walking comes before snorkeling, it might be a good idea to check your swimming ability lightly during that time.

At first, I struggled to breathe until I got the hang of it, and I felt a bit of fear, but as I got used to it, I was able to enjoy watching the corals and the fish swimming underwater. I brought an underwater camera, but it was difficult to take pictures of the fish while swimming. By the way, I brought a waterproof disposable camera from Japan, but they were also available for sale on the boat. Additionally, during sandbar walking, the staff took photos with a DSLR camera, and at the end, they offered prints for sale. If you have a waterproof camera, you can also hand it to the staff to take pictures for you.

The highlight of this tour, the BBQ lunch, was delicious, especially the chicken and chili beans, and I ended up going back for seconds. There was plenty prepared, so it seemed fine to go for seconds. The staff performed hula dancing, and while we were eating, a sea turtle unexpectedly approached the boat, creating a pleasant and enjoyable atmosphere. Since transportation to and from the hotel is included, you can participate in light clothing, just wearing a cover-up over your swimsuit. You only need to bring minimal items: a towel, sunscreen, a waterproof camera, and a little money (since there are photo sales). You take off your beach sandals before boarding the boat and place them in a container. I considered bringing reef shoes but ultimately decided against it. Most people went barefoot. If you have foot injuries or concerns about injuries, it might be worth considering bringing shoes. Perhaps because the water depth was significant and it wasn't a complete sandbar that day, walking barefoot didn't hurt at all. On the boat, you keep your belongings in a container under your seat. Since the container is shared, having a zippered plastic bag can be convenient. After snorkeling, you get quite cold, so a cover-up is essential.

If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely participate! This time, due to scheduling, it happened to be a day with deeper water, but next time, I want to walk on a beautifully exposed sandbar. And I hope to have the same cheerful and fun staff as this time. I became a big fan of staff member D, who looks like a complete foreigner but speaks fluent Japanese and is always joking! Thank you for the wonderful memories in Hawaii! Mahalo!

ハネムーンで夫婦2人で参加しました。

参加した日は事前に調べた通り、浅い所でも腰ぐらいの深さでしたが、とてもきれいな透き通った海と青空の中を歩けて気持ちよかったです。
シュノーリングについてですが
私は泳げないわけではないですが、足がつかず、しかも流れのある海の中を泳ぐのは難しかったです。
道具も慣れるまで呼吸がしにくかったり、集団で移動する為に周りの人とぶつかりそうになったりで、下手すれば溺れるおそれもあり
そのリスクを承知の上で参加すべきだと私は思いました。
あえてシリアスに書きますが、たぶん泳げるからたぶん大丈夫だろう…という感じなら安易に挑戦しない方が良いのかも知れません。
せっかく楽しみにして行っても事故が起こっては台無しですからね。
それは、船上でシュノーケリングについて説明をするスタッフの言葉にも表れていたのでしょう。
終始お気楽な雰囲気が流れていた船上でも、この説明の時だけはピリッとしていました。
でも、それが逆に心強かったです。しっかりスタッフがサポートしてくれるので、泳げる方であればぜひ挑戦してみてください。
シュノーケリングの前にサンドバーウォーキングなので、この時に自分は泳げるのか軽く泳いでチェックしておくと良いかも知れませんね。

はじめはコツをつかむまで呼吸がうまく出来ずちょっと恐怖心もありましたが
慣れてくるとサンゴや海中を泳ぐ魚をしっかり見て楽しむことができました。
水中カメラを持参したのですが、泳ぎながら魚を撮影するのは難しいですね。
ちなみに私は日本から防水の写ルンですを持参しましたが、船上でも販売していました。
また、サンドバーウォーキング中にスタッフが一眼レフカメラで撮影をしてくれ、最後にそれをプリントして販売もありました。
ちなみに防水機能つきカメラであればスタッフに渡して撮ってもらうことも可能です。

このツアーの目玉でもあるBBQランチはチキンとチリビーンズがとても美味しくおかわりしちゃいました。
かなりたっぷり用意してあるのでおかわりガツガツしても大丈夫そうでした。
スタッフがフラダンスを踊ってくれたり、食事をしてるといつの間にかウミガメが船に寄ってきていたり、和やかな雰囲気で楽しいひと時を過ごせました。
行き帰りホテルまでの送迎つきですので、水着の上に上着を羽織る程度の身軽な服装で参加可能です。
荷物も最小限、タオルと日焼け止め、防水カメラに少しのお金(写真の販売などもあるので)というくらいで大丈夫です。
ビーチサンダルは船に乗る前に脱いでまとめてコンテナに入れて置いていきます。
リーフシューズを用意しようかとちょっと迷いましたが結局持っていきませんでした。
ほとんどの方は裸足です。足にケガをしていたり、ケガの不安のある方は用意を検討しても良いかと思います。
この日は水深があり完全なサンドバーではなかったからかも知れませんが、裸足で歩いても痛いということはなかったです。
船上では荷物は席の下のコンテナに入れておきます。コンテナは共同で使うので、口の閉まるビニールバッグなどがあると便利です。
シュノーケリング後はかなり体が冷えるので上着は必須です。

またハワイに行く機会があれば絶対参加したいです！
今回はスケジュールの都合上、水深の深い日になってしまいましたが、今度はきれいに出現したサンドバーを歩きたいですね。
そしてその時もまた今回と同じ明るく楽しいスタッフで。
見た目は完全な外国人、でも日本語ペラペラでジョークばかりの陽気なスタッフDさん、大ファンになりました！
素敵なハワイでの思い出をありがとうございました！マハロ！

Dan and his wife were great! We had two cars because we were a party of 7. Dan was my driver and he was very good at giving us a mini tour as we were driving to Haunama Bay. Once we arrived, we didn't have to stand in line at all. We went into a mini theater to watch a 9 min video orientation. Then we were off. We went down to Hanauma Bay via a trolly. He and his wife explained how to use our gear and made sure it was all on properly. We all had a great time. This was definitely a fun activity to do as a family. The underwater views were amazing. If you don't have a waterproof camera, its fine. Dan takes a bunch of pictures and uploads them on to his website/facebook page and gives you the link, so you can view them. Don't worry if you don't know how to swim, we had a couple people in our party who didn't know how to and they were just fine. Dan, thank you. We will definitely choose you again! :) -Mahalo!

Reviewed by: vivian

We participated as a family of four with a three-year-old and a five-year-old kindergarteners. I felt reassured to sign up because I read in reviews that it’s fine for small children.

Everyone was excited and looking forward to the departure and arrival at the point. Although there were floating devices, for the little ones with zero swimming experience, there was quite a bit of resistance to entering the sea! As a result, our speed slowed down significantly, and we couldn't catch up with the larger group.

In the end, Dad and the kids gave up and returned to the boat first, while Mom managed to see the dolphins playing for just a moment.

The hamburger for lunch was delicious!

三歳と五歳の幼稚園生を連れて家族4人の参加でした。
口コミで小さい子でも大丈夫ですよって書いてあるため、安心して申し込みました。

出発、ポイント到着までは、皆期待しながら、ワクワクしていました。
浮く道具はあったものの、水泳経験０のちびっ子にとっては、海に入るのがなかなか抵抗があった！お陰で進むスピードがかなり落ちていて、大部隊になかなか追いつけられませんでした。

結局、パパと子供達は諦めて、先に船に戻って、ママ一人何とかイルカ群が遊んでいる姿を一瞬だけと、みることができました。

昼食のハンバーガーはおいしいかった！

snorkel adventure

Best experience ever. I don't swim great and have a fear of being in deep water. But Dan made the adventure comfortable. Kids loved it.

Hanauma Bay Snorkel Tour with Expert Guide & Waikiki Transportation

We had the best time!

Reviewed by: Bill & Karen/SLC

My wife and I had never been snorkeling and one of the things that my wife had wanted to do for years was to swim with the dolphins. We wanted to learn how to snorkel and found this tour on Veltra. The tour was scheduled the day after we arrived in Hawaii and we received a courtesy call reminding us of the time and place for pickup. Dan was right on time and met us at the pickup place. He was cordial and interesting to talk to. Everything was arranged for us at the Bay. His instructions were easy to understand and we headed into the water. We were later joined by Dan's wife Chieko and they stayed with us the whole time. We enjoyed seeing the beautiful, colorful fish as well as the turtle swimming in the bay!

We had a very enjoyable time and recommend this tour very highly! Dan and Chieko were wonderful hosts. We are grateful for the time they spent with us (as well as others that were with the tour) as we were able to go to other beaches and snorkel.

Thanks so much Dan & Chieko. We hope to see you again!
