Thirty years ago, entry was free and feeding the fish was allowed, so there were many fish at the beach, but it seems the system has changed now. Since it was February in Hawaii, the temperature was low, and it was a tough environment without a wetsuit. The guide was a very kind Japanese couple living there, but there were fewer fish than I had imagined, which was a bit disappointing. However, Hanauma is undoubtedly a wonderful spot that you should definitely visit.
30年前は自由な入場、餌やりOKだったのでビーチに魚がたくさんいましたが、現在はシステムが変更になったようですね。
2月のハワイということもあり気温が低く、スーツが無いと厳しい環境でした。ガイドさんは在住日本人夫婦で大変親切でしたが、想像していたよりも魚は少なく少し残念でした。
ただ、ハナウマは素晴らしいスポットですので是非訪れた方がいい場所には違いありません。

We had a fantastic tour with seven people spanning three generations, from ages six to seventy-two. Despite our different interests and abilities, we immersed ourselves in snorkeling, relaxed on floaties, searched for turtles in the shallow waters, and enjoyed the scenery and snacks on the boat. Everyone was thoroughly satisfied! This was all thanks to the warm consideration of the staff! The bus driver and everyone on the boat were always smiling and friendly, and we truly appreciate it!
Although the restroom and changing facilities were not very convenient, the staff conveyed their love for the ocean by saying, "This is our office," which made us feel a sense of respect for nature and reminded us to be mindful during our visit.
Since we visited in mid-March during a slightly chilly high tide, I would love to come back and see everyone again during a warm low tide period.
6歳から72歳まで3世代7名、それぞれの興味や能力が異なり心配していましたが、シュノーケリングに没頭したり、浮き輪でぼーっとしたり、浅瀬で亀を探したり、船の上で景色とお菓子を堪能したりと、それぞれが大満足のツアーでした。それもこれもスタッフの皆さまの温かい配慮のお陰です!バスの運転手さんも船上の皆さまもずっと笑顔で気さくに話しかけて頂き、本当にありがとうございました!
トイレや着替えは便利ではないですが、スタッフの方が「ここが私たちのオフィス」と海を大切にされてるのが伝わり、自分たちも自然に敬意を持ってお邪魔させて頂こうと身が引き締まりました。
今回は3月中旬の少し肌寒い満潮(?)のタイミングだったので、今度は温かい干潮の時期にまた皆さんに会いに行きたいです。

As expected from a popular tour, there were a lot of participants.
It takes about 45 minutes by bus to the nearby harbor. The local drivers often crank up the air conditioning, so be sure to bring something to wear. During the ride, they kept introducing delicious restaurants (they highly recommended Leonard's malasadas).
Once we arrived at the port, we boarded the boat. Our guide, Kevin, was fluent in Japanese, so there were no issues. The sea was calm enough that we didn't need any motion sickness medication. The beauty of the sandbar was beyond words, and there were plenty of sea turtles.
Towards the end of the tour, the weather turned and it got cold, so make sure to bring a hoodie or something warm.
I would love to join this tour again during the dry season.

My childhood dream was to swim with wild dolphins. Before I knew it, I had progressed in swimming to the point where I could participate in national competitions.
Dolphin University made that dream come true for me. Staff member MAKI provided us beginners with thorough and entertaining explanations, complete with jokes, which brought smiles to the faces of the Japanese participants!
And I underestimated the sea. I experienced seasickness for the first time in my life here.
On the boat, there was unlimited drinking water and hot water, but at that moment when I could barely stand… MAKI brought drinks around, and I was so touched by that perfect timing. Additionally, she shared gum to help with the nausea and regularly checked in on us, providing excellent care that made my seasickness much better, allowing me to enjoy swimming with the dolphins.
Thanks to MAKI and my experience at Dolphin University, I learned so much about the importance of nature, the value of living creatures, and the joy and excitement of the sea. I truly feel lucky.
For participants, you can learn the Japanese joke for free from MAKI.
Thank you for the unforgettable memories. Next time, I will definitely participate again!

船酔いです。
人生初の嘔吐もここで経験させて頂きました
船内には飲み放題のお水やお湯があるのですが、立つことも辛くなってしまったそのとき…MAKIさんが周りに飲み物を持ってきてくれて、そのベストタイミングに感激でした
そしてそれ以外にも(酔いを紛らわす為の)ガムを分けてくださったり、定期的に声をかけてくださったりととても手厚いケアに、船酔いもかなり良くなり楽しくイルカと泳げました

I was inspired to participate after seeing a former professional baseball player use this service on a TV program during his trip to Hawaii.
I was picked up at the hotel and arrived at the port while enjoying the view of the steep cliffs on the way to Kaneohe Bay. After using the restroom next to the parking lot, I took off my shoes and boarded barefoot.
We moved while observing heart-shaped coral reefs and honu, anchoring near the activity boat displaying the international A flag. Due to the spring tide, the morning tour had lower tides, but it was fully booked. The water depth was about 90 cm. Although the sun was out, the waves and current from the offshore wind felt strong.
I snorkeled with my wife and was able to see the coral, honu, and fish beautifully. Stand-up paddling (SUP) was more challenging than I expected.
On the boat, I enjoyed coffee, apples, and spam while chatting with a female staff member about her trip to Japan, and before I knew it, it was time to return to the port. She pointed out my eye color and told me I have hazel eyes, which led to an interesting discussion about mixed genetics. (We also laughed about what the lesson from Urashima Taro might be.)
After boarding the bus, I realized I couldn't find the belt where I had put my cash. I searched with a staff member who also had hazel eyes named Franky. I was about to give up when I saw Franky desperately searching even in the restroom trash can, and then I noticed something at my neck... Sorry, it was there all along.
We arrived safely at the hotel. Thank you so much!!!
I wanted to try the malasadas from Leonard's Bakery, which the shuttle driver highly recommended, but there wasn't enough time to stop.
I recommend everyone bring marine shoes, a waterproof case for your smartphone, and a hoodie.
Thank you so much to all the staff. See ya!
TV番組で元プロ野球選手が、ハワイに行った際に利用したのを観たのが参加するきっかけとなりました。
ホテルでピックアップされ、カネオヘ湾に向かう途中の急峻な崖を観ながら港に到着。駐車場脇のレストルームで用を足し、シューズを脱いで裸足で乗船。
ハートマークの珊瑚礁、ホヌを観ながら移動、国際A旗が掲げられているアクティビティー船近くに錨泊。
大潮で条件としては朝のツアーの方が、潮が引いていたのですが、予約が埋まっていました。水深90CMくらいかな。日光は出ていましたが、沖からの風で波、潮の流れがきつい様に感じました。
妻と一緒にシュノーケリング。珊瑚、ホヌ、魚を綺麗に観られました。
SUP 思った以上に立ってパドリングするのは難しかったです。
船の上でコーヒー、りんご、スパムを食べ女性スタッフと、日本に旅行しに行った話しをしていたら、あっといううまに帰港の時間。瞳の色に着目され自分がヘーゼルだと教えてもらい、遺伝子がミックスされる事が面白いという思考が有るのを教えてもらいました。(あと、浦島太郎の教訓はなんだろうって事も笑)

I heard that a wetsuit is essential for the ocean in Hawaii during winter, so I thought it would be convenient to have it included in the tour price without any additional fees. Since I was a beginner in both Hawaii and snorkeling, I hoped for a tour without needing to rent a wetsuit. We went at a leisurely pace and had an incredibly valuable experience, going to very deep spots. The kids seemed to be impressed as well, saying they were scared but excited to see the fish!
冬のハワイの海はウエットスーツ必須ですよ、とのことだったのでもう先にツアー料金に組み込んで頂き、追加料金の発生が無いと便利だなと思った。ハワイもシュノーケルも初心者だったため、ウエットスーツは頼まずツアー希望していた。ゆっくりペースでとても深いところまで行ったりしてすごく貴重な体験をした。子供達も印象的だったようで、怖かったけどお魚さん見れた!と興奮していた。

**Positive Points**
• There are staff members who speak Japanese.
• The staff are kind and provide attentive service.
→ They frequently checked if we were warm enough and were gentle with the children.
• There is a good selection of drinks and snacks.
→ There are warm beverages like tea and cocoa, as well as juice and water.
Spam rice balls are limited to one per person, but you can eat as many snacks as you like.
• The transfer to the sandbar is done by a small boat with a limited number of people.
→ It depends on the number of participants, but this time everyone was Japanese.
• There are plenty of items like floaties available.
→ There were large floaties and floatie boats that children could enjoy.
There was also a boat with a clear bottom to see underwater, so even small children could enjoy snorkeling.
They also lend wet suits when it's cold.
• The bus driver for the transfers was kind.
→ Although he couldn't speak Japanese, he made an effort to communicate.
**Negative Points**
• The restroom is small and not suitable for changing.
→ There is a restroom at the port, but there is a long line, so those with transfers are likely to be late and return wet.
The day we participated, it was quite cold with light rain and a north wind, but we were still able to enjoy ourselves.
In a previous tour, we departed on a large boat with many people from various countries, and after the explanation, it felt like we were free to do as we pleased! However, this time, since it was a smaller group, it was great that we could quickly confirm anything we didn't understand.
Even in bad weather, the staff made various suggestions to ensure our family could enjoy the experience, which greatly increased our satisfaction.
For those participating in a sandbar tour for the first time, I think it would be reassuring to have Japanese-speaking staff and a small group.
Although the price is higher compared to other tours, it was a tour that made me want to participate again.

Since it was an English driver plan, there were more foreigners than Japanese participants, and all explanations were in English both on the bus and after arriving at Hanauma Bay. Although I barely understood English, I was able to confirm the final pickup location and time, so there were no issues. The driver was different for the outbound and return trips.
Perhaps because of the early pickup, we were likely the first to enter Hanauma Bay. Our return pickup was at 12:30 PM, so we had about five hours of free time at the beach after entering. It was nice that the weather was clear on the day we participated, but I think it would be quite cold if the weather were bad, especially after snorkeling.
I brought snacks with me, but there was a snack corner at the entrance, and when I went to buy more, I found out they only accepted card payments, so I ended up not being able to buy souvenirs or additional snacks. I brought cash for the entrance fee, but I was surprised to find that other places only accepted cards, so it would have been helpful to have that information listed in the items to bring.
Also, the snorkeling goggles that came with the rental kept coming off easily, so that was a downside, which is why I give it four stars. Hanauma Bay was wonderful, with plenty of colorful fish, and I had a lovely half-day there.
英語ドライバーのプランでしたので、参加の方も日本人より外国人の方が多くバスの中で説明も、ハナウマベイに着いてからも英語のみです
英語ほぼわからない私でしたが、最後のピックアップ場所と時間さえ確認できたので問題はありませんでした。運転手さんが行きと帰りで違います
早い時間のお迎えだったからか多分1番にハナウマベイに入れました
帰りのピックアップが12時30分でしたので入場してからしっかり5時間くらいビーチでのフリータイムがありました
私たちが参加した日は晴れていたのでよかったですが、もしも天気が悪い場合はシュノーケルしたあとなどはとても寒いと思います
食べ物などはお菓子など持参していったのですが入場口にスナックコーナーがあったので追加で買いに行ったら、カード決済のみだったため結局お土産も追加のスナックも買えませんでした
入場料は現金でもっていったのですが、まさかの他がカードのみとは知らなかったのでそのあたり持ち物に記載があるとありがたかったです
あとレンタルでついていたシュノーケルのゴーグルがすぐ取れてしまうものだったのでそこだけマイナスの☆4です
ハナウマベイやっぱり色とりどりの魚がたくさんいて素敵な半日が過ごせました

However, in February, the weather wasn't very good and the wind was strong, so it was cold. I had a rash guard, but the water was cold, and the female participants were shivering in the boat. I think it would have been great if they had wetsuits available for rent.
サンドバーに行くクルーザーでウミガメが泳いでいる姿を何匹も見れた。
ガイドさんが教えてくれるので見つけやすかった。
シュノーケリングでも岩場に隠れているウミガメを教えて頂き感動でした。
日本語クルーさんとても親切でした。
ただ2月で天気も余り良くなく風もきつかったので寒かった。
ラッシュガードを持っていたけど水は冷たく女性の参加者は舟で震えていた。
ウエットスーツの貸し出しがあればよかったと思う。
Aloha! Thank you for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour the other day. We sincerely apologize for the cold weather you experienced.

It felt just like the other reviews said.
It was more of a shuttle service to the hotel rather than a tour. Since it was completely in English, I think only those who can speak English would enjoy it. When we arrived at the entrance of Hanauma Bay, the guide left, and we had to buy our tickets ourselves and were free to explore on our own. I thought the price was high for just a shuttle service. I felt a bit hesitant to pay a tip on top of that.
There was also a place to rent snorkeling gear inside Hanauma Bay, so honestly, I think it would be best to rent a car and go there on your own.
Hanauma Bay itself was amazing, and I would love to go again if I have the chance! I highly recommend it!
他の口コミ通りという感じでした。
ツアーというよりはホテルまでの送迎のみでした。完全英語対応だったので英語ができる方しか楽しめないと思います。
ハナウマ湾入口に着くとガイドは帰ってしまい自分でチケット購入し、自由行動という感じでした。
送迎のみの割には値段が高いと思いました。そこにチップを払うのは少し抵抗がありました。
ハナウマ湾の中にシュノーケルセットをレンタルできる場所もあったので正直自分でレンタカーして行くのが1番かと思いました。
ハナウマ湾自体は最高でまた機会があれば行きたいと思いました!!おすすめです!

This was my third time in Hawaii, and I visited Kailua Beach for the first time. It was much less crowded than Waikiki, making it a very romantic experience. I noticed many newlyweds, which was heartwarming to see.
You can rent mats and beach chairs from the shop, so after a relaxing time on the beach, we returned to the shop for lunch. There were many delicious lunch options available.
The half-Asian driver and the shop staff were kind, efficient, and easy to talk to, making them wonderful people. The lockers, changing rooms, and restrooms were clean and easy to use.
This time, after the beach, I was taken to Kailua Town for shopping, but next time I want to rent a bike and visit Lanikai Beach. Thank you to all the staff!
ハワイ三度目にして、初めてカイルアビーチに来ました。
ワイキキより人も少なくてとてもロマンティックに過ごせます。新婚旅行?のお二人が多い様に感じられ、見ていて微笑ましかっです。
お店でゴザとビーチチェアを借りられるのでまったりビーチで過ごした後、お店に戻りランチしました。ランチの種類も多くて美味しかったです。
送迎のハーフのお兄さんもお店のお姉さんも優しくてテキパキしており、話しやすくて素敵な方達でした。
ロッカーも着替えルームもトイレも綺麗で使いやすかったです。
今回は、ビーチの後にカイルアタウンに送ってもらい買い物しましたが次回は自転車レンタルしてラニカイビーチにも行きたいと思います。
スタッフの皆様ありがとうございました。
Dear Tama Mama,
Thank you for visiting and for your review. Kailua Beach has a quiet charm that is different from Waikiki Beach, doesn’t it? We hope you will come back to Kailua the next time you visit Hawaii. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you.
Thank you.

ご来店及びレビューのご記入ありがとうございました。
カイルアビーチは、静かでワイキキビーチなどと違う良さがありますよね。
またハワイにお越しの際は是非ともカイルアに遊びにいらしてください。
スタッフ一同心よりお待ち致しております。
ありがとうございます。

The pickup time for the hotel was about 10 minutes late, and at the meeting point, there was only a Korean couple besides us. They confirmed in broken English whether we were users of the Hanauma Bay shuttle service, which eased our anxiety a bit. After that, we were able to communicate with the Korean couple and had a valuable experience.
This was my fourth time at Hanauma Bay, and the restrictions are becoming stricter. The first time, the entrance fee was the only cost, but starting from the second visit, there was one day a week when the bay was closed, and from the third visit, it became two days a week. This time, I was surprised to find that it was completely reservation-only.
ホテルへのピックアップ時間が10分位遅れ、集合場所には私たち以外は韓国人夫婦でしたが、拙い英語でハナウマ湾シャトルサービスの利用者であるかの確認をし、少し不安が和らぎました。その後韓国人夫婦とコミュニケーションがはかれて貴重な体験が出来ました。
ハナウマ湾は、今回が4回目でだんだん制限が厳しくなりました。
最初の時は、入場料だけで2回目からは週1日休場日ができ3回目からは週2日休場になり、今回からは完全予約制でびっくりしました。

We were so excited to go swim at the sandbar and are so glad we decided to take a boat. Excursion includes a ride to the sandbar with refreshments, crew-led snorkeling, and free time. Was nervous that I wasn't able to swim too well for the snorkeling portion but Jayson was awesome and floated me & three other people through the deep water. Great experience for folks of all ages and backgrounds!
Mahalo for choosing Captain Bruce and sharing this fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear you had an amazing experience at the sandbar with our captain Jayson and crew, and also you felt comfortable during our tour. We would love to welcome you back on board and have a great time again soon! A hui hou :)

This was my first time participating.
It was a snorkeling experience in the calm coral sea.
I can't swim at all, but I felt safe because I wore a life jacket and the staff guided me by pulling a float.
I was able to see many sea turtles and fish.
On the boat, we were served spam rice balls, snacks, and warm drinks.
Since February is the rainy season, we got caught in the rain on the way back, and it was cold.
I think it's a good idea to bring a hotel beach towel and a cover-up.
初めて参加しました。
珊瑚の穏やかな海のシュノーケリングでした。
全く泳げませんが、ライフジャケットを付け
スタッフさんが浮きを引っ張って誘導してくれたので安心でした。
海亀や魚が沢山見れました。
ボートではスパムおにぎりやスナック菓子
温かい飲み物がいただけます。
2月は雨季と言う事で帰りにボートの上で雨に降られて寒かったです。
ホテルのビーチタオルと羽織りは持って行った方がいいと思います。

Thank you very much for joining our Paradise Ocean Tour for the first time the other day.
It seems you were able to enjoy your first snorkeling experience with peace of mind. I'm really glad you encountered many marine creatures, including the honu (sea turtles).
Please come back and visit us again when you're in Hawaii. We, along with the honu, look forward to that day. Mahalo!
