Waikiki Guided Beach Snorkeling Tour for Beginners with FREE Photos & Videos

Great snorkeling fun!

Reviewed by: Family snorkelers

For most of our group this was their first time snorkeling. Ryan was so patient, helpful and supportive, and gave great instructions — we highly recommend snorkeling in the Magic Island Lagoon for first timers. And with Ryan’s excellent support, videos of our experience, and patience we all had an awesome time. Be sure to heed the 30 minutes early arrival as we had a difficult time finding them (no sign) but they were near life station 1G which should be communicated in advance. We still got started right on time so it all worked out.

I understand the reason for its popularity! 人気の理由がわかります！

Reviewed by: saki

We used this service for our honeymoon trip. The staff was very friendly and took a lot of photos for us. It was also reassuring that they spoke Japanese, allowing us to enjoy ourselves without worry.

In the first half, we enjoyed activities like stand-up paddleboarding and floating on inflatable rings, and in the second half, we went snorkeling. During snorkeling, there were instructions to avoid touching the coral, but while swimming, my feet accidentally brushed against it, causing some scrapes. If you have marine shoes, it might be a good idea to bring them.

Depending on the season, I think it's a popular tour, so I recommend making a reservation more than a month in advance!

新婚旅行で利用させていただきました。
スタッフの方はとてもフレンドリーで、たくさん写真を撮ってくださいます。
また日本語OKなので安心して楽しめました。

前半はサップや浮き輪などアクティビティを楽しみ、後半はシュノーケルでした。
シュノーケル中は珊瑚に触れないようにと案内がありますが、泳ぐうちに足が触れてしまい擦り傷ができてしまいました。
マリンシューズをお持ちの方は持参されたほうがいいかもしれません。

時期にもよると思いますが、人気のツアーなので1ヶ月以上前に予約することをオススメします！

I was moved by the sea turtles. ウミガメに感動しました。

Reviewed by: yin

Unfortunately, the tide was high, reaching up to my thighs even in shallow areas. I thought snorkeling was just about seeing fish, but I was able to see many sea turtles up close. I could hear the sea turtles breathing right next to me, so close that I was worried I might touch them. The tour fee is quite high, but I am very satisfied.

残念ながら潮の高さは、浅いところでも腿くらいまでありました。
シュノーケリングは魚を見るだけかと思っていましたが、
ウミガメが近くでたくさん見れました。

2.5-Hour Turtle Snorkel Sail Tour from Waikiki Beach - Cold Brew Coffee, Snacks & One Drink Included

Hard to say

Reviewed by: Sher

It's hard to say whether Waikiki sail is a great experience or not. They called us the night before around 8:00 p.m. letting us know that they quite doing the afternoon tours and asked if we could come earlier. Unfortunately we had a hard to get breakfast reservation and with less than 24 hours notice, we could't change it even if we wanted to. With that said, Waikiki sail was great at finding a different company that could take us which was awesome. Despite my frustration, I had to at least give them an okay rating for that. We sailed with Moana adventures and had a great time so if Waikiki sails experience is similar and they don't tell you the night before that a change has been made, they are probably great.

I participated with a friend in late September.

It was my first time snorkeling, and I started to feel seasick when I thought, "I want to quit because I'm feeling nauseous." At that moment, the instructor kindly guided those who wanted to stop to a designated area, which was very helpful.

I was able to see various fish and sea turtles, and I was very satisfied.

The driver kindly explained about Hanauma in English. They repeatedly mentioned what not to do, so I understood. Before entering Hanauma, they gave us life jackets at the cliff viewpoint. If you have any additional items, it's a good idea to mention them at this time. Once we arrived at Hanauma, we gathered with the same group of guests to pool together $25 for admission. I think it’s a good idea to bring a mat or something to relax on the beach in advance. It was very kind and I had a lot of fun snorkeling.

Even as a beginner, I was able to meet the fish fairly easily. (^^) 初心者でもそこそこ簡単にお魚たちに会うことができました。(^^)

Reviewed by: のりちゃん

The pickup was handled by a kind guide, making the journey to the location comfortable. Along the way, I received simple explanations about the tourist spots and snorkeling techniques, which gave me a sense of reassurance.

Upon arrival, we took an official video course before heading to the beach. Since I had already heard the same instructions in Japanese from the guide, I didn't understand the English in the video, but I felt at ease knowing the content.

Once we reached the beach, we practiced snorkeling before the actual event. As I peered into the water, I immediately spotted fish. For about three hours, I followed the guide and moved around Hanauma Bay quite a bit. The snorkeling was so enjoyable that the three hours flew by.

Unfortunately, I didn't get to see any honu (turtles) this time, but it felt like I was left with a homework assignment to come back again. I definitely want to return. (^^)

For this snorkeling trip, I rented a wetsuit for an additional fee. The guide introduced it somewhat hesitantly by saying, "It's paid," but it was definitely the right choice to rent it.

There are some very shallow areas where you snorkel. During the waves, my body almost hit the shallow coral, which is actually not allowed, but it happened. I was told that this could potentially injure your skin. Even if you're careful, you never know what might happen.

I thought it would be better to splurge a little and rent the wetsuit so that it wouldn't affect my plans later on. Plus, wearing a wetsuit helps you float, so there's no worry about drowning. I highly recommend it.

On the way back, the kind guide also dropped us off, and I was able to enjoy the tour very comfortably. Thank you very much! (^^)

送迎も優しいガイドさんで、心地よく現地へ向かえました。道々、観光地の事やシュノーケリングの方法を簡単に教えてもらい、安心感を得ることができました。
現地ではオフィシャルなビデオ講習を受け、浜に向かいます。事前にガイドさんから日本語で同じ内容の注意事項を聞いていたので、ビデオの英語はわかりませんでしたが、中身はわかっているので安心。
浜へ降り立ち、実際にシュノーケリングの練習をしてから、本番へ。
海中を覗くと、すぐにお魚が。
３時間くらい、ガイドさんの後を追ってハナウマ湾内を結構動いたようです。シュノーケリングが楽しくてあっという間の３時間でした。
今回は残念ながらホヌ(カメさん)には会えませんでしたが、また来れるよう宿題を残していただいた感じです。また来たい。(^^)
今回のシュノーケリングでは
ウェットスーツを別料金でお借りしました。
ガイドさんから「有料なので」と遠慮がちに紹介されていましたが、借りて正解でした。
シュノーケリングで動く所は一部とても浅い場所があります。引き波の時に体が浅瀬のサンゴに当たりそうになる、というか、本当はダメなのですが当たってしまいました。その際に皮膚を傷つける事があるとの事でした。
気を付けていても何があるかわからない。
少し奮発してお借りした方が、後の旅程に響かず安心かなぁと。さらに、ウェットスーツを着ると浮くので、溺れる心配が内容です。尚更おすすめです。
帰りも優しいガイドさんに送っていただき、大変気持ちよくツアーを楽しむことができました。
ありがとうございました。(^^)

Both of you were kind and fun, and we had a great time! The snorkeling time was enjoyable, and we had fun conversations during the car ride as well! (On the way back, everyone was asleep, so I got the privilege of sitting in the front seat!?)

We saw fish, turtles, and seals♪

【Reference Information】
- You will be in the water for one hour.
- I recommend taking motion sickness medication.
Both of us don’t usually get motion sickness, but since we were wearing life jackets, we were constantly swaying with the waves. It can make you feel queasy...
- If you get cold easily, I recommend renting a suit.
We participated on a sunny afternoon on September 19, and after an hour in the water, your body can get cold.
Slim men, please be careful...
It might be good for those who are not strong swimmers too!
- I recommend applying sunscreen on your back.
If you don’t apply sunscreen, you will get a sunburn in the shape of the life jacket strap.
You can get quite burned, so please be careful.
- A waterproof case for your smartphone is recommended.
The sea is very beautiful, so I was able to take incredibly clear photos and videos with my smartphone!!
- There is no souvenir time.
Since it’s a tour, that’s to be expected; you just go, swim, and come back. There’s no free time.
- You can receive GoPro photos.
They will post them on Facebook, so you can get them for free. They are great photos!

お二人とも優しく楽しく、楽しい時間を過ごせました！
シュノーケリングの時間はもちろん行き帰りの車中でも楽しく会話できました！（帰りはみんな寝てましたし、助手席に座ったからこその特権！？）
魚、亀、あざらし見れました♪

【参考情報】
・海に１時間入ります。
・酔い止めお勧めします。

The captains were very friendly and kind. There was a wide variety of snacks and drinks, and the spam onigiri was especially great.

I was also glad to catch a glimpse of the sea turtles.

Unfortunately, the snorkeling was quite crowded. Moving in a large group felt like being in a packed train, making it far from an enjoyable snorkeling experience. Other activities were fun, though.

キャプテンたちがとてもフレンドリーで親切でした。
スナック類やドリンクも豊富で、特にスパムおにぎりは最高でした。

ウミガメもちらっと見る事ができて良かったです。

残念なのはシュノーケリングの人口密度。大人数で一斉に移動するため、前後左右ぎっしりでぶつかりながらの移動。満員電車の中のようなシュノーケリングで楽しむというには程遠い感じです。その他のアクティビティは楽しかったです。

I have to go again next year. これは来年も行かないと

Reviewed by: あやゆきぱぱ

I went for the first time this year. When we got on the boat, it was raining, but I was glad that it stopped by the time we arrived at the sandbar. The water was knee-deep in some areas, which made it enjoyable. We could also rent SUPs and had a great time. There was a Japanese-speaking guide who provided support. They took us snorkeling, and we were able to see plenty of turtles. The guide helped us, a couple in our 60s, with snorkeling, and we could just float around. I want to go again next year. I think it would be wonderful if it were sunny. It was already so great even with the rain and clouds, so I'm looking forward to going again next year. There is a website that checks the tide levels at the sandbar, so I recommend looking it up and choosing a day with low tide when making a reservation. It’s a wonderful world where you can experience the ocean in 360 degrees.

今年初めて行きました。
ボートに乗った時は、雨が降っていたけどサンドバーに到着したときは案がやんでよかった。
深さは膝ぐらいのところもあり楽しむことができました。
SUPなども借りることができ良い時間を過ごすことができます。
日本語を話すガイドがおりサポートしてくれます。
シュノーケリングに連れて行ってくれますが、亀が見放題の状態でした。
我々６０代の夫婦の手を引いてシュノーケリングをさせてくれ浮かんでいるだけでよい状態でした。
来年も行きたい。快晴だったらどんなにいいだろうと思う。
雨曇りであれだけよかったので来年も行こうと楽しみにしています。
サンドバーの潮位を調べるサイトがあるので、予約するときはぜひ覗いて潮位の低い日を選ぶことをお勧めします。
３６０度海の中で体験できる素晴らしい世界です。

I visited Hanauma Bay for the first time in two years. It was early in the morning, but the water wasn't as cold as I expected. The fish swimming around are always the same. This time, there was someone who was visiting Hanauma for the first time, so I made a reservation, but the entrance fee is a bit high, so I think it might be good for a while. The driver was handsome and helped by purchasing the entrance tickets all together. The snorkeling set and life jackets were clean.

It seems to be run by a couple. The husband speaks fluent Japanese, and the wife is Japanese, which made it easy for me to try snorkeling for the first time without any worries. I'm not very good at swimming, but with the wife's assistance, I was able to enjoy snorkeling. The ocean was beautiful, and it was amazing to see the colorful fish up close, as if they were drawn with crayons. The sea had plenty of corals and rocks, and I was glad to borrow a wetsuit; it felt safe.

If I go to Hawaii again, I would like to go snorkeling once more, if my age allows. Because I am 60 years old. I highly recommend it!

I had seen beautiful scenery of Kailua and Lanikai Beach on various websites and had been determined to visit them on my next trip to Hawaii.

Being able to move around freely at our own pace allowed us to relax in our favorite spots. One of our goals was to hike to the Lanikai Pillbox, but my wife found it too difficult, so we decided to give up halfway. However, we were able to enjoy a leisurely time at Kailua Beach, where they lent us beach chairs and dry bags for free. The pizza we had for lunch at Bob's Pizzeria was also very delicious, and we were completely satisfied.

Next time, I will make sure my wife is fully equipped and we will tackle the Pillbox!

We did 2 turtle snorkel's while in Hawaii, this one was not really the crews fault that it was not my favorite as the seas were pretty rough that day.
This would be a much better experience if there wasn't as many people on board.
Surprisingly, there were a lot of tourists with little to no experience with swimming or the ocean. Please if you are not experienced with swimming stay on the boat.
We were able to see a couple of tours and because of the non-experienced children on board, the fish were well "fed".
Bumpy ride and fun wave time on the trampoline! My sister and I loved that part of it!
Overall, pretty good experience, never enough time in the water!

My first time in Hawaii. 初めてのハワイ

Reviewed by: かづ

I was recommended Hanauma Bay as a great spot in Hawaii by a friend, but I learned that reservations are required for entry. Since I can't drive, I was looking for an all-inclusive plan and found this tour.

I had only snorkeled once before, so I was a bit anxious, but the small group and the attentive guidance in Japanese made it a wonderful experience. I was really happy to see sea turtles!

Hanauma Bay has more waves than I expected, so while floating, my body was swaying, and I was glad I took motion sickness medication. (There were others who got seasick as well. I tend to get motion sickness easily, but thanks to the medication, I had no issues at all.)

I heard that it's difficult to reserve entry tickets for Hanauma Bay, so I'm really glad I booked this tour considering that aspect too.

友人からハワイのおすすめの場所としてハナウマ湾を教えてもらいましたが入場に予約が必要とのことで、車も運転できないので全て込み込みのプランを探しておりこのツアーを見つけました。
シュノーケルは一回しか経験がなく少し不安でしたが、日本語で少人数で丁寧に進めてもらい、ウミガメも見ることができて本当に良かったです！
ハナウマ湾は思ったより波があるので、浮いている間に身体が揺れるので酔い止めを服用していってよかったです。(波酔いしてしまっている方もいました。自分もかなり乗り物酔いしやすいですが、薬の服用のおかげで全然問題なかったです)
ハナウマ湾の入場チケットは予約困難らしく、その点も含めてこのツアーを予約してよかったなと思います。

Reviewed by: 昔の新婚さん

We gathered in front of the hotel early in the morning (5:45 AM) and watched the sunrise until our reservation time for Hanauma Bay (6:30 AM). This activity does not require a reservation for entry to Hanauma Bay, but you need to purchase tickets on-site, and you have to wait in line until it's time. I felt that time was a bit wasted, but I guess that's what you get for a cheap tour. One participant in the same tour kindly purchased tickets for everyone at the counter. Of course, we all lined up together.

If the tour included the ticket price, I suppose there wouldn't be any need to wait in line? I saw some people entering without waiting. Since everything was explained in English, there were some things I didn't understand. I heard there are lockers available, but I think it's better to take valuables to the beach. Someone needs to keep an eye on the bags. The snorkeling gear was cheap, and it was hard to breathe underwater. Some people mentioned it broke halfway through. The driver said if we called, he would help us... in English.

If you want to participate in the tour efficiently and with peace of mind, I think it's better to join a Hanauma Bay snorkeling tour guided by Japanese staff, even if it's a bit more expensive.

朝早くから(5時45分)ホテル前集合で、ハナウマ湾の予約時間(6時30分)まで朝日が昇るのを見てました。

同じツアー参加者の一人が全員分のチケットをまとめて窓口で購入してくれました。もちろん全員同じかたまってならんでました。

チケット代金も入ったツアーならたぶんこの並ぶ　ということはないのかな？並ばないで入ってる人もいたので。
全部英語で説明させるのでわからないこともありました。ロッカーあるとのこと、でもビーチに貴重品はもっていった方がいいと思います。誰か一人荷物番が必要です。
シュノーケルも安物か海のなかで息がしづらいです。
途中で切れたという人もいました。電話してくれれば…と、ドライバーはいってました。英語です。

I participated with a friend in Hawaii for the first time. We had a great time floating on the surfboards and sometimes challenging ourselves with stand-up surfing. I enjoyed my time in Hawaii after four years. Thank you, and I will participate again.

初めてのHawaiiの友人と参加しました。サーフィンボードにぷかぷか乗って、時にはスタンドアップサーフィンに挑戦して楽しい最高の時間が共有出来、四年ぶりのHawaii時間を楽しみました。ありがとうございますまた、参加します。

It looks different from the photos. 写真とは印象が異なる

I participated in weather that was sunny with occasional clouds. Since the weather was relatively nice, I dreamed of seeing the sandbar I had seen in photos, but in reality, the sea was murky with low transparency due to the sand... However, I was able to go snorkeling in an area with lots of sea turtles, and the crew members were very kind. The service of spam onigiri and snacks was also greatly appreciated.

晴れときどき曇のような天気で参加。天気がわりと良かったため、写真で見ていたサンドバーを見れると夢みて参加したのですが、実際には砂で濁って透明度の低い海でした。。。
ただ、ウミガメがいっぱいいるところをシュノーケリングできたり、クルーの方々も非常に優しく、スパムおにぎりやお菓子のサービスなどは非常に有難かったです。

The water clarity was low, but I had a great time. 海の透明度は低かったけど楽しかったです

I booked for the early morning time slot in late August. The shuttle bus was fine for everyone to wear light clothing, like swimsuits and rash guards. After arriving at the boat, we moved a little further to reach the sandbar, where we first had a short snorkeling session for those who wanted to participate. We were able to see turtles.

After that, we had free time to walk around or rent things like stand-up paddleboards, and everyone enjoyed taking photos. On the boat, each person received one spam onigiri, and there were no limits on potato chips and various cold and hot drinks, which we could eat and drink at our leisure.

Since it was a bit cloudy that day, the sea temperature was low, and my body felt cold, so the cocoa was really delicious and appreciated. I think the sea varies depending on the weather and time, but honestly, Waikiki Beach is prettier. However, the staff were all nice and fun, and overall it was a really enjoyable experience, so I definitely recommend trying it at least once!

8月下旬朝イチの時間帯で申し込みました。
送迎のバスはみんな水着にラッシュガードを羽織った感じの軽装で大丈夫です。
船場に到着してからまた少し移動して、サンドバーに到着してからまずは希望者のみで少しの距離をシュノーケリング。亀が見れました。
その後は自由時間で歩くのも良し、SAPなどを借りてやるのも良しという感じで、みんな写真を撮りながら楽しみました。
船には一人一個スパムおにぎりと、個数制限なしのポテトチップスや冷たい飲み物、暖かい飲み物が色々用意されており、好きなタイミングで食べ飲みできます。
この日は少し曇り気味だったこともあり海の温度が低く、身体が冷えていたためココアなどがすごく美味しくありがたかったです。
海は天候や時間によると思いますが写真のような感じではなく、正直ワイキキビーチの方が綺麗だな〜という感じでした。
でも、スタッフの皆さん良い人で面白くて、全体的にすごく楽しかったので是非一度経験されることをおすすめします！
