I didn't expect to line up for tickets on the day instead of making a reservation online. However, since I was able to go as planned, I am mostly satisfied.
Considering the timing, it was just right to have an 11 AM pickup with my 6 and 9-year-old children. The person in charge provided various explanations and guidance throughout the car ride. Other Japanese guests were using translation apps, but since I didn't use one, I only understood parts of the conversation. I wish I had downloaded the app. My children had a very enjoyable time and it seems to have left a lasting impression on them. They said they want to go see the fish again.
ネット予約でチケットとっているのではなく当日チケットに並ぶとは思っていませんでした。が予定通りに行けたのでほぼ満足です。
時間的には6歳9歳の子供がいたので11時ピックアップでちょうどよかったと思います。担当の方も車中ずーと色々と説明、案内してくださっていました。他の日本人は翻訳アプリで聞いていましたが、翻訳アプリ使用しなかったので所々しかわからず。アプリを入れておけば良かったと思いました。子供たちにはとても楽しい時間になり印象に残ったようです。またお魚見に行きたいと行っています。

- We participated as a family of four: two adults and two children (ages 9 and 6).
- It's better to have at least a basic level of English conversation skills.
- We had the same driver for both trips. We gave a tip after getting off on the return trip.
- It was a bit chilly when we got to the beach, possibly due to the slightly bad weather. The children were shivering.
- Although we saw many fish in the shallow waters just a few meters from the beach, it wasn't very impressive.
・家族4人で参加。大人2、子供2(9歳,6歳)。
・日常会話程度の英語力はあった方がいい。
・往復同じドライバーさんだった。チップは復路の降車後に渡した。
・少し天気が悪かったせいか、浜に上がると少し寒かった。子供は震えていた。
・浜から数メートルの浅瀬にしては多くの魚が見れたが、感動はなかった。

This is my third time participating. I'm not a strong swimmer, but with goggles and a life jacket, I won't sink. The guide is very attentive, so there's little chance of getting lost or getting into dangerous situations. There were families with small babies, but the guide was very helpful, even carrying them, ensuring everyone could enjoy safely. The weather was calm, and I was able to see sea turtles clearly, creating wonderful memories. You can return in your swimsuit, but it's better to bring a change of clothes as you might get cold. There is a small restroom, so I went up a bit early and changed inside while it was still empty. There were spam rice balls, snacks, juice, and warm drinks, allowing us to take breaks and enjoy without pressure. I would like to participate again next time. Thank you very much.
今回で3回目の参加です。泳ぎは得意ではありませんが、ゴーグルとライフジャケットがあるので、まず沈むことはありません。ガイドさんがしっかりとガードしてくれているので、はぐれたり危険なことに巻き込まれることはまずないです。小さな赤ちゃん連れのご家族もいましたが、ガイドさんが抱っこするなど協力的で全員が安全に楽しめるよう素晴らしい働きぶりでした。天候も穏やか、ウミガメもしっかり見ることができ素晴らしい思い出となりました。水着のままでも帰れますが、体が冷えるので替えは持参した方がいいです。狭いですがトイレが1つありますので、私は少し先に上がりすいているうちに中で着替えました。スパムのおにぎり、スナック菓子、ジュースに温かい飲み物もあり無理せず休憩を入れながら楽しむことができます。また次回も参加したいです。ありがとうございました。

I was very satisfied to see dolphins, sea turtles, and many beautiful fish. The staff were professional and very efficient, making it a fun experience without any dull moments.
The shuttle bus arrived right on time. The boat was equipped with warm showers and toilets, and the lunch sandwiches were much tastier than I expected, plus they served warm drinks at the end.
There is an experienced Japanese interpreter, so even those who cannot speak English can feel at ease. Since the boat can be quite rocky, I recommend taking motion sickness medication and enjoying the view of the mountains. It gets chilly after coming out of the water, so it's a good idea to bring warm clothing (like a jacket and pants). The wetsuits are easy to put on and it gets quite cold, so I think renting one is a good idea!
Thank you so much to Shanti, Stefan, Minako, Tara, Yuya, Laura, Lauren, Tim, and Parker (sorry if I missed anyone… all the staff on board were perfect!) for the wonderful memories.
イルカも、海亀も、綺麗な魚たちもたくさん見れて大満足でした。スタッフの皆さんがプロフェッショナルで非常にテキパキとしていて、飽きる時間もなく楽しく過ごせました。

経験豊富な日本語通訳の方がいるので、英語が話せない方でも安心です。
割と揺れるので酔い止め薬を飲み動かない山などを見ながら過ごすこと、海から上がると冷えるので暖かい格好(上着とズボンなど)を持ってくると良いと思います。動かないものウェットスーツは簡単に着れる形ですし結構冷えるのでレンタルした方が良いと思います!

On April 29th, the meeting time was early at 5:30 AM, but waking up early was worth it as we were able to see many dolphins up close, and we even got to see dolphins swimming underwater while snorkeling. With our Japanese guide Minako, even those who are not confident in their language skills can participate with peace of mind. The crew members were cheerful and lively, and it was clear they were doing their best to ensure we could see the dolphins in the best conditions possible. I would love to join the tour again if the opportunity arises. It was a wonderful experience.
4月29日 集合は5時半と早かったですが、早起きした甲斐があり、たくさんのイルカを間近で見ることが出来、シュノーケルでも海中を泳ぐイルカを見ることができました。

Both instructors were friendly and I was able to warm up to them quickly. They provided a summary of the video content in Japanese before we entered the ocean, and it was clear that they genuinely love the nature of Hanauma Bay. It seemed like they were well-acquainted with the reception and traffic management staff, which added to my sense of security.
I have visited Hanauma Bay twice before as an individual, not for activities, but I think first-timers should definitely take advantage of this activity, and even those returning for a second time or more will find it enjoyable.
インストラクターのお二人とも親しみやすくて、すぐに打ち解けられました。海に入る前に観る映像の内容を事前に日本語で要約してくださって、またハナウマ湾の自然を心から愛していることが伝わってきました。受付や交通整理の人にも顔がきくようで、安心感もありました。
これまでハナウマ湾には2回アクティビティではなく個人で来たことがありましたが、初めての方はこちらのアクティビティを利用された方がいいと思いますし、2回目以降の方も楽しめると思います。

Everything from the transportation from our hotel with our driver/tour guide Kaplan, to our cruise and adventure with Captain Jason and his crew were fantastic! They were knowledgeable about the reef and sandbar, and were clearly passionate about its care. Snorkeling was great, and they took great care of those that couldn't swim well or needed extra help with the equipment. The activities on the sandbar were fun, and the ability to chill on the boat and enjoy the provided snacks & beverages was nice as well. In the way back to our hotel, Kaplan stopped to let us get Malasadas at Leonard's! Highly recommended... 10 out of 10!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a fantastic review! We are thrilled to hear that you had a wonderful experience from start to finish.

It wasn't bad. However, I wonder about being asked for a tip for the conductor at the end of the tour. It would be more acceptable for someone like me, who is Japanese and not accustomed to tipping, if the tip was included in the total price from the beginning.
悪くは無かったです。但し、ツアーの最後にコンダクターへのチップを請求されるのは、如何なものかと思います。それなら、最初からチップ代金込みで代金を組成した方が、チップ習慣が無い日本人としては納得できると思います。
Thank you for participating in the tour and for your review. Regarding your comments about tipping, tips are a gesture of appreciation from customers to staff for the service provided during the tour, so they cannot be added to the tour fee before participation. If you enjoyed the tour at the end, you can decide the amount and give it to the staff as a tip. This is a custom that is not common in Japan, but since our company is based in the United States, we hope you can understand this American practice. Thank you for your feedback.

ご意見のチップですが、チップはツアーにご参加頂いたお客様から、スタッフへのサービスに対してのお心づけとなりますので、ツアーご参加前にツアー代金に加算すことはできません。ツアー最後に楽しんで頂けたようでしたらお客様に金額を決めて頂きスタッフに渡して頂くのがチップとなります。日本にはない習慣になりますが、弊社はアメリカの会社になりますので、アメリカの習慣をご理解頂けたら幸いです。ご意見ありがとうございました。

This was a very cool tour! This was my friends and I first time visiting Hawaii and this tour made it very memorable for us! It was a lot of fun sitting on the net and getting splashed by the waves. The staff was super friendly and amazing. We got to see sea turtles and other marine life. Only downside is that there are other tour boats in the same location. So there's about a hundred people snorkeling in the water and it gets crowded super fast. People bumping and pushing each other or kicking each other in the water. Kinda felt like the scene in titanic lol. Other than that, it was a very cool tour! I'll definitely do it again when I plan my next trip!
I also recomend you bring a GoPro camera to take videos and photos.

What I LOVED:
- Available bins to store your items once on their boat [useful as a family member nearly dropped their phone overboard within seconds of sitting down]
- Included spam musubi and soft drinks
- PRESCRIPTION/Rx snorkeling gear [lifesaver as contacts are not an option while swimming and this is an amazing option that I never knew existed]
- Charismatic and protective crew [they keep the mood light and ensure you are well taken care of]
What I could change:
- Weather [though out of their control a lil extra sun wouldn't have hurt outside of a potentially bad sunburn]
Would I recommend this to others? Absolutely! I have already shared my positive experience with my extended family.
Aloha, thank you so much for choosing Captain Bruce and for taking the time to leave this fantastic review!

The tour guide on the drive out was great, very friendly. Gear worked well and was clean. We got chairs and an umbrella which was really nice since we were there a while. I didn’t love the actual bay, however. The snorkeling was only okay and we didn’t see nearly as many types of fish as I would have expected for a place boosting great snorkeling. I have been to better. The reef was also super shallow so hard to navigate around the sections safely without touching the coral. It also was very sandy so the view wasn’t clear. Overall I would not pick this activity again just since the snorkeling wasn’t great. However, the driver and equipment was great so I didn’t want to knock their rating down just because the experience wasn’t amazing.

We booked a family snorkeling with turtles experience on the Moana Catamaran, and the crew ensured that we had an exceptional experience. Anthony, the captain, was personable and informative. He was happy to answer a LOT of questions, and provided insight into Hawaiian culture throughout the experience. When it came time to enter the water, Claire was an outstanding guide. She ensured that the kids (10 & 12) felt confident with the unfamiliar snorkeling equipment, and took the time to locate and identify a variety of sea life. The crew made this a memorable experience for our entire family, and we highly recommend this experience for visitors to Oahu.

I used a private cruiser.
Captain Masaki was friendly, kind to the children, and very reliable.
I had checked the tide chart in advance, but since it was negative (I thought, maybe the sandbar would be out if we were lucky?), I didn't have high expectations. However, the sandbar appeared beautifully, and everyone was thrilled! It was cold, so I hesitated to get in the water at first, but the captain helped by saying, "I have wetsuits!" which was a great relief. We enjoyed paddleboarding and playing with water guns...
After playing for a while, we went snorkeling, and when the captain said, "Look, there are sea turtles down here," I looked where he pointed and saw a sea turtle. I was moved to see so many sea turtles. The children got to ride on a Zayak, which has a transparent bottom for observing underwater, and the captain pulled them along, so our whole family was able to observe the ocean and see the sea turtles, spending a wonderful time together.
It seems not only the adults but also the children had a great time, as they said, "I want to go to the heavenly sea again!"
Thank you for the wonderful time.
I also enjoyed chatting with driver Tim.

キャプテンのMASAKIさんも気さくで子供にも優しくて頼もしい方でした。
潮位表を事前に見ていましたが、マイナスになっていたから(運が良ければサンドバーが出てるかも?)とそれほど期待せずに行きましたが、しっかりとサンドバーが現れており、皆大喜び!
寒かったので初めは水に入るのを躊躇していたらキャプテンが「ウエットスーツあるよー」と貸してくれたからかなり助かりました。supしたり水鉄砲で遊んだり…
ひとしきり遊んだ後にシュノーケルをしましたが「ここ、ウミガメいるよー下ー」ってキャプテンの言う先を見るとウミガメがいて、たくさんのウミガメを見ることが出来て感動しました。
子供はZAYAKというソリの底面が透明になっていて水の中が観察できるものに乗せてもらってキャプテンがずっと引っ張ってくれたので、家族全員でそれぞれが海の中を観察してウミガメを見られて素晴らしい時間を過ごせました。
大人だけでなく、子供もすごく楽しかったみたいで「また天国の海に行きたーい!」と言っています。
素敵な時間をありがとうございました。
運転手ティムのおしゃべりも楽しかったです。
