Hanauma Bay can be accessed by rental car or trolley, but there is a limit on the number of people allowed in the bay (reservations are required), so for those who prefer convenience, booking through Veltra is a good option. While there were fewer corals compared to the islands of Okinawa, since I went in the morning, I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of fish and the number of larger fish. Although it was an early morning tour, there were initially few people (the seawater was a bit cold at first), and the morning-only tour was more than enough to enjoy.
I stayed at the Hilton Hawaiian Village, and the meeting point was at the valet area (hotel entrance) of the neighboring Ilikai Hotel, which was accommodating in English, and there were no issues at all (there was hardly any conversation). By the way, the people I went with were from Germany, Brazil, and Asia. An English speaker among us handled the communication. Inside Hanauma Bay, we had free time. There were lockers available for valuables, but we didn't use them (we took turns going into the water as a family). You might want to bring drinks (and maybe some light snacks). Be aware that there are restrictions on the types of sunscreen you can use. They provided snorkeling gear, including fins, but given the current situation, we only brought our own snorkels. We thoroughly enjoyed our time until the return meeting time, and they drove us back to the morning meeting point. After a short break in the afternoon, we went shopping. I'm glad I visited Hanauma Bay for the first time!
ハナウマ湾はレンタカーやトローリーでも行けますが、湾に入るには人数制限(予約)があるので、色々と面倒な人はベルトラ予約が気楽です。沖縄の島々よりはサンゴは少なかったですが、AMにいったこともあり色々な魚の群衆や大きい魚が思ったより沢山いました。朝早いツアーでしたが、逆に人も最初は少なく(少々海水が最初冷たかった)、AMのみのツアーで十分楽しめました。
ヒルトンビーチリゾートに宿泊していましたが、集合場所はとなりのホテルのイリカイホテルのバレットエリア(ホテルの入口)で、英語対応でしたが全く問題ありませんでした(ほぼ会話する事がない)。因みに一緒に行った人たちはドイツ、ブラジル、アジアの人。逆に英語のわかる人が代表で対応してくれました。ハナウマ湾の中は自由行動。貴重品用のロッカーありとのことでしたが使用しませんでした(家族の順番で海に入って対応)。飲み物は必要かも(軽食程度も)。日焼け止めは種類に規制があるのでご注意を。シュノーケルは足ひれ含めて貸してくれましたが、このご時世我々はシュノーケルのみ持参しました。帰りの集合時間まで十分に堪能して、朝の集合場所まで車で送ってくれました。午後は少し休憩後にショッピングなどに。初めてだったのでハナウマ湾行ってよかったです!

This is our 2nd time to vacation in Oahu and visited Hanauma both times. Our 2nd trip we decided to book an organized tour because our first experience wasn't too great. This tour was absolutely incredible! Can't say enough positive things about it but here we go:
1) The guide showed up to our hotel early which is so refreshing
2) He was super knowledgeable, kind and enjoyable to be around
3) Before the snorkeling tour, he was amazing with sharing information about how to do it and what to expect
4) They had the nicest and softest mask and fins equipment I've ever received on a snorkeling tour
5) The hour long tour was amazing and we saw tons of fish and even a turtle
6) He provided snacks and water afterwards
7) He patiently got us back to our hotel and just truly blew us away.
Very highly recommended!

The snorkeling in the early morning had high water clarity and was very good. A seal also appeared and was very cute. By the time we were leaving, the sand was stirred up and it was a bit murky, so it was great to go in the morning.
Snorkeling equipment was included in the rental, but there was a mishap where the driver forgot to hand it to us. The entrance fee is paid collectively by the representative, so only cash is accepted. Please be aware of this.

Last year, I participated in a snorkeling tour at Hanauma Bay. It was my first time wearing a wetsuit, which was quite challenging, and the waves were high that day, so it wasn't the underwater experience I had hoped for. This time, I was able to snorkel while wearing a life jacket, and the staff's attentiveness was excellent, allowing me to enjoy myself to the fullest. I was also able to encounter sea turtles, which made me very satisfied. I definitely want to participate again next year. Thank you very much.

I participated with my 9-year-old child. Surprisingly, the water in the morning was quite cold, and it was advised to wear a wetsuit, which we rented, and that was accurate! We also rented prescription masks, and both my child, who has poor eyesight, and I were able to enjoy watching cute fish (we even saw schools of fish!) and turtles without feeling cold.
I suddenly became scared of the ocean after not snorkeling for a while and couldn't swim at first, but the instructor, Chieko, kindly held my hand and helped me swim. Another instructor, Dan, also gave gentle advice! As a professional, he took us around to spots where we could see fish. Dan also provided various guidance in Japanese during the car transfer.
In the end, it cost quite a bit, but it was definitely worth the money! We made wonderful memories of Hawaii! Thank you very much!
9歳の子供と2人で参加しました。
意外と朝の海の水は冷たく、ウェットスーツを着たほうが良いとのアドバイスで借りましたが、これが正確でした!
度付きマスクも借りて、目の悪い子供共々、寒さを感じることなく、かわいい魚(魚の群れも観られました!)と亀を観ることができました。
私は久しぶりのシュノーケリングに、急に海が怖くなり最初は泳げなかったのですが、インストラクターのチエコさんが優しく手を引いてくれ、泳ぐことができました。
同じくインストラクターのダンも優しくアドバイス!プロならでは!で、魚が観られるスポットを廻ってくれました。
ダンはクルマの送迎でも日本語で色々と案内してくれました。
結果的にお金は大分掛かりましたが、払うだけの価値は充分ありました!
よいハワイの思い出ができました!
本当にありがとうございました!

I participated with my 7-year-old child. I was worried about seasickness, but the boat didn't sway much, and since it was only about a 15-minute ride, there was no problem at all.
The sandbar had knee-deep seawater, which was disappointing, but the snorkeling was the best! We enjoyed it even more than Hanauma. It was great to see many sea turtles, from large ones to small baby turtles. We all talked about how we wish we had more time for snorkeling...
7歳の子供を連れて参加しました。船酔いを心配しましたが、船が大きく揺れる事もなく、また片道15分ほどであったので全く問題ありませんでした。
サンドバーは膝丈程の海水があり残念でしたが、何よりシュノーケルが最高でした!ハナウマよりも満喫しました。大きなウミガメから、小さい子供のウミガメまで沢山見られた事がとても良かったです。シュノーケルの時間がもっとあったら良いのに…と家族全員で話しています。

There were about 10 participants, and having two guides who spoke Japanese made me feel at ease.
The view at Hanauma Bay was amazing. Compared to the coral reefs in Japan (like Okinawa), the fish swimming there were larger and more dynamic.

It is located just a short boat ride from the port. The activity is divided into two parts: we first enjoyed stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) in shallow waters, and in the second half, we went snorkeling. I had imagined a sandy beach during low tide, but since we went during high tide, we paddled in shallow waters that were about knee-deep for adults. We let the little ones ride on a small boat float (as shown in the posted photos) and pulled them around for fun. However, the snorkeling part goes quite deep, so while we wore life jackets, it might be a bit challenging for children who are not accustomed to snorkeling. In the end, we put the kids on a ZAYAK, but it didn't provide the stability we expected. Nevertheless, there is a good chance of seeing sea turtles. It would have been better if they had provided a more stable see-through boat float for the kids. Also, the water temperature in the morning is a bit on the cooler side.
港から船ですぐに着くところにあります。2部構成ではじめは浅瀬をSUPで楽しみ、後半はシュノーケリングでした。干潮時の砂浜を想像していましたが、満潮時に行ったので、大人の膝上程度の浅瀬でSUPをしました。小さい子は小さいボートフロート(投稿写真)に乗せて、引っ張りまわして遊びました。しかしながら、後半のシュノーケリングの方は、かなり深いところまで行きますので、ライフジャケットをつけていますが、シュノーケリングに慣れていない子供には少しレベルが高いかと思います。結局、子供をZAYAKに乗せましたが、こちらも思ったようには安定せず。しかしながら、ウミガメが結構な確率で見られます。
子供用にもう少し安定感のあるシースルーボートフロート等を貸してくれたらもっと良かったかもしれません。あと、午前中の便は少し海水温が低めです。

This was my first time participating in seven years, and this time I brought my children aged 2, 5, and 9. The parasol we rented couldn't be used due to strong winds. Well, that was the same as seven years ago.
I really wanted my 9-year-old son to succeed at snorkeling, but he got scared and gave up.
I think the shuttle service was around $45 seven years ago, but now the price is almost double.
Overall, I felt it wasn't suitable for families with small children, but since this is our family's situation, I will give it 4 stars.
7年ぶりの参加で、今回は2歳5歳9歳の子連れ。
せっかく借りたパラソルが強風で使えず。まあこれは7年前も同じ。
せめて9歳の長男はシュノーケリング成功させたかったけど、怖がって断念。

I went in January this year as well, but I thought, "Is this really a sandbar?" because the water was so deep that I couldn't see any honu (sea turtles). So, I decided to make a comeback in July, which is the recommended season. I checked the tide graph and participated with high expectations, but I was a bit disappointed upon arrival... The water level was somewhat shallower than in January, but it was still up to my waist, and I couldn't see any sandy beach at all. Nevertheless, the staff really got everyone excited, and I had a decent time. At first, I borrowed a SUP and played around.
In the second half, we formed a line with the participants for snorkeling. And there they were! Sea turtles! So many of them!! My excitement skyrocketed! It was more than just fun; I was a little moved!
On the boat, they provided spam onigiri (one per person), snacks, hot coffee, cocoa, and juice, so you can eat and drink while moving. The staff were all very cheerful and fun people. I'm glad I participated! It can get quite cold during the shuttle bus and boat rides, so it might be better to have long sleeves...
今年の1月にも行ったのですが、ここがサンドバー?って思うほど水深がありホヌも見れなかったので、おすすめシーズンの7月にリベンジしました。
タイドグラフも確認し、期待しながらの参加でしたが、到着時はちょっとがっかり...多少は1月よりは浅かったですが、それでも腰ぐらいまでは潮位があり砂浜は全く見れませんでした。それでもスタッフの方たちが、色々盛り上げてくれてて、まぁまぁ楽しめました。最初はSUPを借りて遊んでいました。
後半は参加者で列をつくってシュノーケリング。いるんですね!ウミガメって!たくさん!!テンション爆上がりでした!楽しかったを超えて、少し感動しました!
船内では、スパムおにぎり(ひとり1つ)、スナック、ホットコーヒー、ココア、ジュースなど置いてあるので、移動中など飲食できます。
スタッフの方も皆さんとても明るく、楽しい方たちでした。参加して良かったです!
送迎バスや船移動中は結構寒いので、長袖はあったほうが良いかも...

We participated as a couple, and although we don't speak much English, it wasn't a problem at all. The reservation confirmation emails were all in English, but with Google Translate, we were able to understand the meeting location perfectly. We took the bus from our hotel in Waikiki to the nearest stop and walked about five minutes to the port. (By the way, a local Japanese person informed us that Google Maps provides the most accurate bus schedules and stop locations, and they were right—it was very convenient.)
The boat is named Moana, and there is a tour sign in front of the boat, making it easy to find. However, as others have mentioned, we had to wait about 20 minutes from the meeting time, which made us a bit anxious. (Most participants arrived more than 15 minutes late. Is it just Japanese people who are punctual? Haha.)
Once the tour started, the explanations were only in English, but I understood that we shouldn't go to the back of the boat, we should keep a certain distance if turtles approach, and when the staff called out "Moana," we should board the boat. I could only understand these points, but it wasn't a problem at all.
We were able to see many turtles up close! There were also five or six other tour boats in the same area, with dozens of people entering the water, so it was a bit challenging to swim without bumping into others. However, there were plenty of turtles to see, and it was adorable to watch them come up to the surface for air. We also saw several types of fish.
Just keep in mind that it wasn't the colorful small fish swarming around the coral that you might typically imagine with snorkeling; it was primarily a turtle-focused tour, so it's best to go with that understanding.
Similar tours with Japanese-speaking staff seem to cost around $120, but if the content is not significantly different, I think this tour is a great deal.
Overall, we were very satisfied!
夫婦で参加し、英語はほぼできませんがほとんど問題ありませんでした。
予約連絡メールもすべて英語ですが、Google翻訳でしっかり集合場所も分かるので、ワイキキのホテルからザバスで最寄りまで行き、港を5分ほど歩いて到着しました。(ちなみに、ザバスの時刻表やバス停の場所はGoogleの経路検索が一番正確だと現地の日本人に教えていただき、その通りですごく便利でした。)
モアナという名前の船で、船の前にツアーの看板も出てるのでわかりやすいです。
ただ、他の方も書いているように集合時間から20分ほど待たされたので少々不安にはなりました。(そもそも参加者もほとんど15分以上遅れてきました。時間守るのは日本人ぐらいなんでしょうか?笑)
ツアーが始まってからも英語のみの説明ですが、船の後ろには行かないこと、亀が近づいてきても一定の距離を取ること、スタッフが「モアナー」と呼び込みかけたら船に上がること、ぐらいしか理解できなかったですが何ら問題なかったです。
実際に亀を間近でたくさん見れました!
他のツアーの船も5,6隻同じ同じ場所でそれぞれ数十人が海に入るので人にぶつからないように泳ぐのが少し大変ですが、何匹も亀がいるのでしっかり見ることができました。海面に息継ぎに上がってくるのが可愛かったです。
他にも数種類のお魚も見ることができました。
ただ、よくシュノーケルでイメージする色とりどりの小魚が珊瑚に群がるような感じではないので、あくまで亀主体のツアーという理解で行かれた方が良いです。
日本語スタッフがいる類似ツアーは120ドルするようですが、もしも内容にあまり差がないようならとてもお得だと思いました。
全体的には満足です!

Cons: Location wasn’t too clear, better signage in the future would be great.
Buoyant donut was too small for the amount or people, so lots of bumping and kicking, including from the trainer. A bigger float donut would be perfect.
Water was murky, but not much can be done about that. Maybe a heads up from the diver if they have an indication of the water condition before hand would help.
Pros: Diver was great in making sure that we got to see a few fish. He also dove down to grab some of the water life and we got a chance to hold them in our hands.
We brought our own snorkel and mouth piece, and diver was very helpful in making sure it was secure to their masks.
Diver was very knowledgeable and got us checked out with our photos and videos in hand very quickly.
Definitely recommend this for super beginners!

I booked a tour with pickup from a nearby hotel to Hanauma Bay.
For the pickup from the hotel, I communicated to several drivers who seemed to be part of different tours that I was participating in the Hanauma Bay tour and shared my name to find my driver.
The entrance to Hanauma Bay opens at 7 AM, so we waited in line until then. For some reason, one participant from our tour acted as the representative to manage the entrance fee collectively. I wondered what would happen if this person ran away, but they managed to pay without issue.
Although it wasn't us, other tour participants were renting additional life jackets, but the driver said, "It's not on the rental list, so if you pay in cash now, I'll give you the life jackets." Since they couldn't communicate in English, I stepped in to negotiate on their behalf, and reluctantly, the driver handed over the life jackets.
Hanauma Bay was absolutely stunning. Since it was early in the morning, there were fewer people, and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
There is a place to store valuables at Hanauma Bay, so I left cash and other items there, keeping only my phone and the key to the valuables box in a waterproof case around my neck. I left towels on the beach, but they were safe. I think it's better to clean up a bit earlier than the meeting time since there are few showers available.
近くのホテルからハナウマ湾までの送迎付きのツアーを予約しました。
近くのホテルからのピックアップは、何人かのツアーのドライバーらしき人に、ハナウマ湾のツアーに参加している旨と名前を伝えて、ドライバーを見つけました。
ハナウマ湾の入り口が朝7時に開くので、それまで列に並んで待機でした。入園料は何故か、そのツアーの参加者の1名が代表者となり、まとめて管理してました。この人が逃げたらどうするんだと思いましたが、無事払ってくれました。
私達ではありませんが、他のツアー参加者がライフジャケットを追加でレンタルしていたのですが、ドライバーは、"レンタルリストに無いから現金で今払えばライフジャケットを渡す"と言っていました。英語でコミュニケーションできない方々でしたので、代わりに私が間に入って交渉したら渋々ライフジャケットを渡してくれました。
ハナウマ湾は絶景で最高でした。
早朝だったこともあり人も少なく満喫しました。
ハナウマ湾には貴重品を預ける所があるので、現金等は預けて、携帯と貴重品ボックスの鍵だけ防水ケースに入れて首からぶら下げてました。
タオル等は浜に置きっぱなしでしたが、無事でした。
シャワーの数が少ないので、集合時間よりも少し早めに片付けた方が良いと思います。

It was my first time back at Hanauma in about seven years. It was beautiful and fun as always. The person who came to pick me up was also very kind. Unfortunately, the water was cold since it was early in the morning.
約7年ぶりのハナウマでした。やはり綺麗で楽しかったです。迎えに来ていただいたくれた方も親切でした。
朝早かったこともあり、水が冷たかったのが残念。

I always participate when I go to Hawaii because it's so much fun. This time, I went with friends, and we had an even more enjoyable time! The staff member Yuka was very friendly and attentive, making sure to engage with everyone. It was impressive how she kindly assisted the children in the family during the photo sessions. The ocean is beautiful, and you can see sea turtles everywhere! They guide you, saying, "Here it is, over here!" My friend can't swim, but she was able to enjoy snorkeling safely while holding onto something like a float, as the staff pulled her along. She was really happy about that!
楽し過ぎてハワイに行くと必ず参加してます。今回はお友達も一緒で更に楽しく盛り上がりました!スタッフのユカちゃん、とてもフレンドリーで声掛けが細やかな可愛いスタッフさんでした。写真撮影はもちろん、ファミリーのお子さんにも優しくフォローしていたのが印象的です。海も綺麗ですし、海亀見放題!ここだよ、ここにいるよ、って教えてくれます。お友達は泳げないのですが浮き輪のような物につかまってスタッフが引っ張ってくれたそうで安心してシュノーケルが楽しめたと喜んでましたよ!
Aloha! I'm very happy to hear that you enjoyed the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour for the third time. I look forward to your future records. Mahalo nui loa!
アロハ! 3度目のキャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーも楽しんで頂けて大変うれしいです。
この先の記録更新を楽しみにしております。Mahalo nui loa!

Although I couldn't see the sandbar, I was able to encounter many sea turtles and thoroughly enjoy the beautiful ocean. I also tried SAP and had a wonderful time that flew by. The clear sky, transparent sea, and cheerful conductor were all fantastic.
On the way back, I bought a honu keychain and visited Lanikai Beach the next day to see the honu.
I would love to participate again next time!
サンドバーの出現は叶いませんでしたが、ウミガメにも沢山会うことが出来、綺麗な海を満喫させて頂きました。SAPにもトライしてあっと言う間の時間を過ごさせて頂きました。
晴れた空、透き通る海、愉快なコンダクターも最高でした。
帰りにホヌのキーホルダーを買い、翌日ラニケアビーチでホヌに会いに訪れました。
次も参加したいと思います!
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. We look forward to seeing you again with the honu (sea turtles). A hui hou!

It seems that there are days when you can see them and days when you can't, but we were lucky to see a pod of dolphins right after we set off.
All the staff were kind and attentive, and even though we weren't used to being in the water, we were able to enjoy snorkeling with peace of mind. Thank you so much, Shella, Rebbeca, and Laurence!
運によって見れる日や見れない日はあるようですが、私たちは出発そうそうイルカの群れ見れて、ラッキーでした。
スタッフは全員親切と丁寧で、水に慣れていない私たちも安心してシュノーケリング楽しめました。
Shellaさん、Rebbecaさん、Laurenceさん、本当にありがとうございました!
Aloha! Ray,
Thank you for participating in the Dolphin Middle School this time. It was lucky to encounter dolphins right after we set sail! As you mentioned, there are days when it takes time to find dolphins. I believe you were able to experience the magnificent nature and beauty of West Oahu. Please come back to see the dolphins again! All of us on the crew are sincerely looking forward to your return. A hui hou and big mahalo!
Aloha! レイ様
この度はイルカ中学へご参加いただきありがとうございました。
出航早々にイルカと出会えたのはラッキー!でしたね。おっしゃる通り、日によってはイルカを探すことに時間がかかる日もあります。西オアフの雄大な大自然と美しさを体感していただけたことと思います。ぜひ、またイルカたちにあいにきて下さいね!クルー一同心よりお待ちしております。a hui hou and big mahalo!

I participated with my mother, who is in her late 70s, along with my child, making it a three-generation family outing. While snorkeling with life jackets, my mother was able to hold onto a buoy from the co-captain, who spoke Japanese, and was pulled along, allowing her to see sea turtles, which made her very happy.
Thank you very much for your assistance during that time.
Onboard, there were drinks and snacks available, which we enjoyed after coming back from the sea. The spam onigiri, which each person received, was very delicious.
The weather was great, and we encountered sea turtles multiple times, making it a truly valuable experience.
We were able to create wonderful memories of Hawaii.
Thank you! ^_^
70代後半の母を連れて親子孫3世代で参加させていただきました。救命胴衣をつけてのシュノーケルで母は日本語のできる副船長さんの救命浮き棒?のようなものに捕まってずっと引っ張ってもらい、ウミガメを見ることができて大満足していました。
その節は大変お世話になりました。
船内はドリンクやお菓子がおいてあり、海から上がったあとにいただきました。1人1つもらえるスパムおにぎりはとても美味しかったです。
お天気もよくウミガメにも何度も遭遇できて、とても貴重な体験をさせていただきました。
ハワイの素敵な思い出作りができました。
ありがとうございました^_^

We encountered various fish and a large sea turtle. My mother, who is in her 90s, also challenged herself to snorkel. The guide pulled her along with a float, so she could comfortably enjoy the underwater view, and she was very happy. Perhaps because it wasn't an early morning plan, the water was a bit murky, but it was great to enjoy ourselves without any worries on a comfortable lounge boat, just our family.
いろいろなおさかなや、大きなウミガメに遭えました。
90代の母もシュノーケルにチャレンジ、ガイドさんが浮き輪を引っ張ってくださったので、安心して海の中を眺めることができ、母も喜んでいました。
早朝のプランではなかったためか、水が少し濁っていましたが、快適なラウンジボートで、家族だけで気兼ねなく楽しめたのが良かったです。
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. I'm really glad to hear that your mother enjoyed it as well. Please come back and join us again! Mahalo!
