We had never snorkeled before, but Dan and his wife were awesome! We will never forget this. We are waiting for the pictures that we took with our disposable cameras. Lots of fish. I do not like putting my head under water, but they were soooo reassuring and made you feel very comfortable. Very organized. I would highly recommend this to anyone. Unfortunately we did not see any turtles, but it was still wonderful.

This was my first time ever for snorkeling and I was a bit nervous. Dan, my guide, was so patient and easy going. Made it so easy to relax and learn... He helped hold my hand and guide me through the bay, saw a lot of cool water life. This was an excellent tour, I didn't have to think about anything. Was picked up at the hotel, they brought the gear, snacks, and a trunk to lock up small belongings during the snorkeling. Our guide has an excellent camera and took pictures during the tour and posted it to facebook for me to see and share. Dan is well known at the bay and knows it inside and out. Had a blast and will definitely rebook with Dan, if I ever get a chance to come back to Oahu.
Thank you Maggie, We had a good swim

We had a great time with Dan on this snorkel trip. Dan was excellent. The water was great. We saw so many different kinds of fish. I just wish we were able to see a turtle. Dan provided us with the latest snorkels so we didn't have to worry about swallowing water. Definitely recommend!
The only suggestion I would make is to wrap the admission and team fee into the activity fee. It's a bit annoying to have to pay separately.
Thanks guys, see you next year.

The highlight of our Hawaiian vacation! Dan took care of everything--getting to Hanauma Bay and geared up was super easy. (Gear was top notch.) After quick instructions we were in the water and looking at fish, turtles, etc. Our 7 yr old son is not a good swimmer but Dan's wife swam with him and helped the whole time so my husband and I were able to enjoy the experience without having to constantly focus on him. The tour was the perfect length and best part was photos waiting for us online afterwards--didn't have to lug camera around ourselves and got great momentos of trip. Highly recommend for families with kids or anyone who wants a relaxing (but exciting) snorkeling adventure.
Thank you guys, ill say it again, you have a tough boy.

I participated with my wife and mother. Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy with occasional rain, which dampened our spirits a bit, but thanks to the staff's enthusiasm, we had a great time. First, the sea turtles were quite elusive, but finally, one appeared in the distance, and everyone was excited! We checked the tide schedule for the sandbar and arrived just as the tide was low enough to expose it to our ankles, allowing us to take photos in various poses. We walked about 100 meters from the boat to the sandbar, and since the water depth near the boat was about 80 cm, it seemed difficult for my 88-year-old mother to disembark and walk, so we decided to have her wait on the boat. My wife and I headed to the sandbar, but when we looked back towards the boat, we saw my mother being helped by two staff members as they brought her over. Thanks to them, my mother safely arrived at the sandbar and was very happy. I was moved by the kindness, thoughtfulness, and consideration of the staff. The sea, scenery, and the tour itself were wonderful, but the staff who supported it were also amazing.
家内と母親と3名で参加しました。当日はあいにく曇り、時々雨という天気で、気分も曇りがちでしたが、スタッフの方々の盛り上げで楽しいひと時を過ごすことが出来ました。まず海がめ、
なかなか現れませんでしたが、やっと一匹遠くに現れ、みんな大騒ぎ!でした。サンドバーは一番潮が引く時間を調べて参加したので、予定通り足首位いまで潮が引き、思い思いのポーズで写真を撮り合いました。船からサンドバーまで約100m位歩き、また下船するあたりの水深は80cm位あるので、88歳のの母親には下船し歩くのは無理そうでしたので、船で待ってもらう事し、家内と二人でサンドバーに向かいましたが、我々がサンドバー近くで船の方向を見ると、母親がスタッフ二人にに両脇を抱えられてこちらに向かってくるのが分かりました。お陰様で母親もサンドバーに無事到着し大変喜びでした。スタッフの方々の優しさ、思いやり、そして気配りに感動しました、海も風景も企画も素晴らしいツアーですが、それを支えるスタッフの皆さんも素晴らしい方々です。
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. We are truly glad that your entire family was able to enjoy the sandbar. It's great to hear that a sea turtle also showed up! We all look forward to welcoming you back again.

This time, the weather wasn't great for the heavenly sea. The sandbar didn't appear, but perhaps it was because it was Captain Bruce's tour? I felt very satisfied. The meals served on the boat were more than enough. The staff were also kind, and next time, I definitely want to see the sandbar at low tide. I would like to choose Captain Bruce's tour again for that occasion.
天気に恵まなかった今回の天国の海でした。サンドバーも出なかったけど、キャプテンブルースのツアーだったからか?満足感いっぱいです。船の上で食べる食事にしては十分過ぎる程でした。スタッフの方々も親切で、次回こそは干潮時にサンドバーを必ず見たいなー。その時もキャプテンブルースのツアーにしたいと思います。

I encountered a pod of dolphins twice!
Unfortunately, they didn't play with us... But I guess just being able to see them was lucky. I really wanted to dive down to the dolphins without a life jacket!
At first, my wife was hesitant to go into the ocean, but once she got in and saw the dolphins and sea turtles, she was thrilled! However, while watching the turtles, she got seasick and had to throw up... (laughs)
Even with a green face, she was excited. As for me, even though I'm over sixty, I successfully graduated from Dolphin Middle School!
The guide was a lively woman, which was great!
I have one complaint. There was no mention that reconfirmation was necessary, but there was a message at the hotel, so I called the contact number, but they said it wasn't in use... I wish the information was updated accurately.
イルカの群れには2回遭遇!
残念ながら、一緒に遊んではもらえなかったけど・・・。
まあ、遭遇できただけでもラッキーなのかな・・・。

Kailua requires taking a bus that you might not be used to, and both Kailua Beach and Lanikai Beach are difficult to access from the bus stop, so I recommend this tour for both town and beach lovers!!
I recommend renting a mat to take to Kailua Beach, which is just a short walk from the tour company. The area under the shade of the trees has branches that can be painful if they fall. You can also borrow snorkeling gear for free, but there are no fish. Many people are relaxing on the beach. The morning is recommended as there are fewer people at the beach.
I rented a bicycle to get to Kailua Town ($10.47 per bike). They provide a map and explain how to get there. It can be a bit scary until you get used to the pedal brakes, but it’s manageable. It takes about 20 minutes on foot. Riding with the wind felt great.
For lunch, you can choose between a plate or pizza, and the staff-recommended spinach and garlic pizza was delicious.
For us, the time spent at both the beach and the town felt just right, though we could have used a little more. The staff could almost all speak Japanese, which was reassuring.
カイルアって、個人では慣れないバスに乗らないと行けないし、さらにカイルアビーチやラニカイビーチはバス停から行きにくいので、このツアーは、カイルアタウン派にもビーチ派にも、オススメします!!
主催会社から徒歩すぐのカイルアビーチへはゴザを借りて行くことをオススメします。日陰になる木の下は枝が落ちてて痛いです。シュノーケルセットも無料で借りられますが魚はいません。ビーチでのんびりしてる人が多いです。午前中の方がビーチの人は少なくてオススメです。
カイルアタウンへは自転車を借りました($10.47/1台)。地図も貰えるし行き方も教えてくれます。自転車のペダルブレーキに慣れるまでは怖いですがなんとかなります。徒歩だと20分とのこと。風を切って走るのが気持ち良かったです。
ランチはプレートかピザが選べ、スタッフオススメのほうれん草とガーリックのピザが美味しかったです。
ビーチもタウンも、の私達には時間も少し物足りないかなくらいでちょうど良かったです。
スタッフもほぼ日本語が話せるので、安心できました。

I was able to swim not only with dolphins but also with sea turtles and various fish. I was able to swim much closer than I imagined, so I was very satisfied. The boat ride was a bit long, so it's better to have motion sickness medication. There were quite a few people feeling unwell.

We participated with our family of four (grades 4 and 2) during Golden Week. I had a lot of worries, like waking up early, whether we would get seasick, and if we would really see dolphins, but I gradually relaxed thanks to the guide's high energy. (I didn't feel seasick at all.)
We saw dolphins right after we set sail. It was truly moving. I wanted to swim with them forever. We also encountered turtles and fish. The kids were able to swim with the crew members and had a great time. Even after returning to Japan, we are still excited looking at the photos we purchased.
The experience was definitely worth the price. I would love to participate again on our next trip to Hawaii.

I was able to see dolphins much closer than I had imagined, and I was very satisfied. Unfortunately, I couldn't see any sea turtles, but I enjoyed the other activities as well. I think it was a well-organized program, and the guide was very skilled. However, if I go again, I might choose the dolphin school because I would like more time with the dolphins. You can purchase photos, but at $60 for a photo where I'm not really in it, I think I might skip it next time. This time, I'm satisfied with the photos of the dolphins I saw.
想像していたよりずっと近くでイルカを見ることができ、大満足です。
残念ながら海亀を見ることはできませんでしたが、その他のアクティビティも楽しめました。
よく出来たプログラムだと思います。ガイドさんもとても上手でした。
ただ、次回行くことがあれば、イルカの時間がもっと欲しいので、イルカ中学の方にしようかなと思います。
写真を購入できますが、あまり自分が写っていないのに60ドルと言うなかなかのお値段なので、次は買わなくても良いかなと思います。今回は自分が見たイルカの写真と言うことで納得していますが。

This was the best part of my trip to Hawaii!
- Hanauma Bay is incredibly beautiful. I think it's the most beautiful spot on Oahu.
- The veteran guide takes you to great spots where you can see lots of fish.
- If you're not confident in swimming, the guide provides support, so you can feel at ease.
- The guide takes photos for you, and you can receive the data.
- They provide transportation to and from the hotel, which is super convenient.

Picked up near the hotel at 6:30 AM. Since it was early, I planned to sleep during the transfer, but we had a briefing about swimming with dolphins (don't chase them) and checking fin sizes, and before I knew it, we arrived at the harbor in about 45 minutes.
Since the water temperature was low, I rented a wetsuit for an additional $10, put on a life jacket, and boarded the boat to set sail. Within five minutes of departure, we spotted dolphins! I quickly put on my fins and snorkel and jumped into the water. (Apparently, it was a good day for finding dolphins.) I was glad I rented the wetsuit because the water was cold.
The dolphins swam away quickly, but when I floated and waited, they returned, and I was able to see them perfectly this time. I thought there would be only a few, but there were about a dozen—what a surprise to see such a large group!
The dolphins kept coming back, and after enjoying plenty of dolphin sightings, we got back on the boat and moved to the next turtle spot. I got pretty tired from the waves, so I had a snack to recharge. At the turtle spot, I saw not only turtles but also a variety of colorful tropical fish.
I wanted to dive a little since I was there, but due to the buoyancy of the wetsuit, I couldn't dive easily... However, a turtle came up to the surface, and I was able to see it up close (though touching a turtle incurs a fine).
On the way back, I fell into a deep sleep and returned to the hotel before noon. I had such a fulfilling time, and since it was still morning, I could still do some sightseeing and shopping, so I was very satisfied!
朝6半ホテル近くでピックアップ。朝早かったので移動中眠るつもりだったが、移動中にイルカと泳ぐときの注意点(追いかけちゃダメ)や、フィンのサイズ確認などあり、話聞いてたら45分ほどでハーバーに到着。
水温低いとのことでウエットスーツを追加レンタル(10ドル)し、救命胴衣つけて船に乗り込み出航。
出航して5分もたたないうちにイルカ発見!すぐにフィンとシュノーケルつけ、水中に。(この日はイルカみつけるのはやかったらしい)水が冷たかったのでウエットスーツ借りてよかったと思う。
イルカが泳ぐスピード早くていってしまったけど、プカプカ浮かんで待ってたら、すぐ戻ってきてくれて今度はばっちり見られた。
数頭くらいだと思ってたから十数頭~?けっこうな群れで驚いた。
その後も何度もイルカが戻ってきてくれ、たっぷりイルカを見てから船に上がり、次のカメポイントに移動。
波に揺られてけっこう疲れたので、もらった軽食食べて復活。
カメポイントはカメだけでなく、いろとりどりの熱帯魚も見られた。
せっかくだから少し潜りたかったけど、ウエットスーツの浮力のせいか、なかなか潜れず…
でもカメが海面にあがってきてくれたので、こちらもさわれそうなくらい近くで見られた(カメさわったら罰金だけど)
帰りの移動は爆睡して12時前にホテル戻り。
これだけ充実した時間を過ごせてまだ午前なので、ここからまだ観光も買い物もできるし、大満足!!

I was a bit anxious about snorkeling for the first time, but the guide (a Japanese woman and her husband) explained everything very kindly, so I was able to relax and enjoy it. Since the guide was a veteran, I was able to encounter the sea turtles I had hoped to see, as well as many other fish. Moreover, we had gone without an underwater camera and had given up on taking underwater photos, but the guide had taken some for us, which was a great help. It was also a big plus that we could enter the parking lot without waiting. I'm really glad I found this tour (the guide). If I come to Hawaii again, I plan to request them once more!
初めてのシュノーケリングで少し不安でしたが、ガイドの方(日本人女性とその旦那様)がとても親切に説明してくれたので安心して楽しむ事が出来ました。
ベテランガイドさんという事で、期待していた海ガメにも出会えましたし他にも沢山の魚を見る事が出来ました。
しかも、今回私達は水中カメラを用意せず行ってしまい水中写真は諦めていましたが、ガイドの方が撮っていてくれたものがあり助かりました。

I used this service during Golden Week, and luckily, it turned into a completely private lesson just for our group. Our guide, Chieko, was very cheerful and kind. Both of us couldn't swim and it was our first time snorkeling, so we were quite anxious, but she explained everything carefully, which made us feel safe to enter the sea. I believe that if anyone follows her instructions, they can enjoy snorkeling.
We snorkeled for about an hour, and we didn't get tired at all. It's definitely a good idea to bring an underwater camera. I think it's also fine to bring a regular camera. You can take pictures with Hanauma Bay in the background. All valuables can be placed in the guide's box, which is locked, so it's safe.
On that day, the wind was really strong, and we couldn't go out further. The water was a bit murky, but there were still plenty of fish. It's a shame we didn't get to see any sea turtles.
The photos that Chieko took with the GoPro were available for download from Facebook.
GWに利用しましたが、運よく私達のグループだけで、完全にプライベートレッスンになりました。
ガイドのちえこさんはとても明るくて優しい方でした。私達は2人とも泳げないしシュノーケリングは初めてで、不安いっぱいの中でしたが、丁寧に説明していただいて安心して海に入れました。説明いただいた通りにやれば、どんな人でも楽しくシュノーケリングできると思います。
1時間ほど続けてシュノーケリングをしましたが、全然疲れませんでした。水中カメラは絶対に持って行ったほうがいいです。普通のカメラも持って行ってもいいと思います。ハナウマベイをバックに写真をとれます。貴重品は全てガイドさんの箱の中に入れて、ロックをかけてくれるので安心です。

Also, we offer introductory diving experiences at Hanauma Bay, so if you're interested, please give it a try. I'm looking forward to seeing you again. Thank you! Chieko
Aloha!この日は風が強くて、満ち潮のために波も結構あってちょっと難しいコンディションでしたが、楽しんでいただけたようで安心しました!!ぜひ次回こそはかわいい海ガメをお見せできるように頑張りますので、またハワイにお越しの際はいらして下さいね。それと私達はハナウマベイでの体験ダイビングもやっていますので、興味がありましたらトライしてくださいね。またお会いできるのを楽しみにしています。ありがとうございました。 千恵子

I participated due to my wife's wish to swim with dolphins. Although I was somewhat anxious because of the strong winds, I was very satisfied to see them twice. I think the guide did a great job of keeping everyone engaged and having fun. I was worried about seasickness despite taking medication in advance, but perhaps because there were two boats, the rocking was less than I imagined, and it was okay.
イルカと泳いでみたいという家内の希望で参加しました。風が強く多少不安がありましたが、2度も見ることが出来て大変満足でした。ガイドの方も皆が楽しめるよう盛り上げてくれてとても良かったと思います。薬は予め飲んでも船酔いはやはり不安でしたが、二艘船のためか想像より揺れは少なく大丈夫でした。
Thank you for your participation. We are glad you enjoyed it. We look forward to your next participation!
ご参加頂きましてありがとうございました。お楽しみ頂けて何よりです。またのご参加をお待ちしております!

I love the ocean. I love the sandbar.
Surrounded by a 360-degree emerald green sea under the blue sky, it truly felt like paradise. This is an activity you should definitely participate in when you go to Hawaii! The half-day went by in a flash, and I didn't want to leave. I was also moved when the turtles came right up close. I want to join again!
海大好き。サンドバー大好き。
青い空に360度エメラルドグリーンの海に囲まれたそこはまさに天国。ハワイに行ったら参加すべきアクティビティーです!半日があっという間で帰りたくなかったー。亀もすぐそこまで来て感動しました。また参加したいと思います。

I won't forget the excitement of being close to the dolphins, but I also won't forget the wonderful view of the mountains from the sea! It became a great memory with the kids ❤️
イルカがすく近くにいたときの感動も、忘れませんが、海から見た山々の景色の素晴らしさも忘れません!子供達とのいい思い出になりました❤️
Thank you for participating. We're glad you enjoyed it. We look forward to your next participation!

I checked the low tide times online and signed up for the morning session. It was great that the sand was visible only in the morning. However, the wind was too strong, and it was really cold...
As for snorkeling, it seemed fine going out, but coming back required a lot of energy due to the wind, so I gave up on snorkeling since I wasn't confident in my swimming skills. The weather was bad, so I hope to try snorkeling next time when the weather is nice.
ネットで干潮時間を調べて午前の部に申し込みました。午前中だけ、砂が観れる状態だったので、良かったです。ただ、風が強すぎて寒くて寒くて…
シュノーケリングも、風の影響で行きはいいけど戻ってくる時にかなり体力がいるようだったので、泳ぎに自信がない為、シュノーケリングをあきらめました。天気が悪かったので、次は天気がいい時にいければシュノーケリングにも挑戦したいなと思いました。
Aloha! Thank you for participating in the tour the other day. Next time, please come and challenge yourself with snorkeling! We look forward to seeing you.
アロハ!先日はツアーにご参加頂きありがとうございました。
次回はぜひ!シュノーケルにチャレンジしにお越し下さいね。おまちしてます。
