On the last day of the year, three generations participated, from an 8-year-old to someone in their late 60s. We were very satisfied with the wonderful hospitality of the captain and the staff.
My daughter, who can't swim, borrowed a yellow board-like device that allows you to see underwater while snorkeling and had a great time. While the staff entertained my daughter, I was able to enjoy snorkeling as well. The grandparents in their 60s, who were worried about the cold water and swimming, were happy to relax on the boat with a cup of coffee.
I would love to participate again if the opportunity arises. Thank you to all the staff!
年末最終日に、8才から60代後半までの三世代で参加。船長さん、スタッフさんの素晴らしいホスピタリティで大満足でした。
泳げない娘は、シュノーケリング中、海の中がのぞける黄色いボードのような道具を借りて楽しむことに。スタッフさんが娘の相手をしてくれている間、私もシュノーケリングを楽しむことができました。水が冷たく、泳ぎが不安だった60代の祖父母は、船上でコーヒーを飲みながらのんびり過ごせてよかったそうです。
またチャンスがあれば参加したいです。スタッフのみなさま、ありがとうございました。

The staff really got everyone excited, and I was able to enjoy it more than I expected. It was my first time, and it was my wife's third, but we were very satisfied to see dolphins swimming alongside the boat and to spot humpback whales multiple times, which is a rare experience.
Although I couldn't swim with the dolphins, I was able to swim with turtles during the snorkeling session, and it was also great to experience the waterslide and stand-up paddleboarding.
I will definitely come again. Thank you for today.
スタッフの方が盛り上げてくださり、予想以上に楽しむことができました。私は初めてで、妻は3回目でしたが、イルカが船の先頭で伴奏したり、今ならではの、ザトウクジラを何回も見ることができて、非常に満足です。
イルカと一緒に泳ぐことは叶いませんでしたが、シュノーケルのタイミングでは亀と一緒に泳ぐことができたり、ウォータースライダーやサップを体験できたことも非常に良かったです。

The guys that operate the boat were easy going, friendly and informative with a splash of humour.
The trip delivers as promised. They sail you to turtle canyon, you snorkel and enjoy a lovely sailing journey back.
It doesn’t have frills like food or drink ( you can take your own goodies, no problem), but that’s not what this trip is about. It caters perfectly to the people that put simply just want to catch a ride to the perfect spot to see turtles.
I would absolutely use them again. They are professional and good value for money. I recommend them A+++.

I previously visited during the summer with my coworkers, but my family had never been. After overcoming the long COVID pandemic, I finally brought my family along. It felt like fate that this was the last AM private cruise of 2023, and I was able to greet Captain Bruce before departure. Everyone picked up on even the little things from our prior communications and past experiences, which naturally sparked conversations.
Sitting near the bow of the speedboat can get you very wet. If you have things that you don't want to get wet, make sure to take precautions before and after boarding. I think you'll be dressed for swimming afterward, so feel free to enjoy getting splashed!
Veteran Alan interacted with us at just the right distance, ensuring that we had plenty of time to enjoy ourselves as a family. However, we weren't neglected; he discreetly prepared wetsuits for my family when they looked a bit chilly and promptly responded to our small requests. During snorkeling, he helped my younger daughter, who struggles with swimming, by pulling her on a Zayak (a bodyboard with a viewing window), allowing her to enjoy the underwater scenery.
On that day, the current was a bit strong and sand was swirling, but my family was thrilled to encounter a honu resting on the reef. He even took my younger daughter to see another honu that was in shallower water.
Since this is an activity in nature, the weather and sea conditions are a surprise on the day, but we had a different experience compared to summer. Our family was very satisfied with our stay. Thank you!
Additionally, you can change from a shared shuttle to self-arrival at the location. This allows you to freely plan your schedule after the cruise, not just limited to the Waikiki area, so you can continue to enjoy the tranquil Windward side or venture up to the North Shore. For those considering renting a car, I think it's a good option. The yacht harbor parking is first-come, first-served (be careful of no-parking areas), so it's best to arrive with some extra time.
以前職場の人たちと夏季に来ましたが、家族は未踏だったでした。長いコロナ禍を乗り越え、ようやっと家族を連れて来られました。
2023年最後のAMプライベートクルーズだったのも何かの縁、キャプテンブルースさんにも出航前にご挨拶ができました。事前のやりとりや以前のお世話になった話など、ちょっとしたことでも皆さん拾ってくださり、自然と会話も弾みます。
スピードボートは舳先近くに座るととても濡れます。濡れると困るものは、乗船前後にあらかじめ対策しましょう。そのあと海に入る格好になって参加されると思いますので、せっかくなのであとは思う存分飛沫を浴びてください笑。
大ベテランのアランさんは程よい距離感で接してくださり、大体の時間は家族だけで自由気ままに過ごせるように計らってくださいました。とはいえ放置されているのではなく、少し肌寒そうにしていた家族にさり気なくウェットスーツを用意してくださり、こちらのちょっとしたリクエストにもすぐに対応してくださいました。
シュノーケリング時は泳ぎの苦手な次女をザヤック(のぞき窓付きボディボード)に載せて曳いていただき、次女も海中を眺めることができました。
この日は潮の流れが少し強く砂が舞ってましたが、家族も無事リーフにたたずむホヌと出会うことができ、喜んでいました。浅いところにいた別のホヌを見せに次女を連れて行っても下さいました。
自然の中でのアクティビティなので天気、海の様子は当日のお楽しみですが、夏季とはまた違った体験ができました。家族一同が大満足の滞在になりました。ありがとうございました!
なお、乗合送迎から自力での現地集合に変更もできます。クルーズ後の予定をワイキキエリアに限らず自由に立てられるので、のどかなウインドワードを引き続き満喫したり、ノースに足を伸ばしたりできますね。レンタカー派の方はご検討されるとよいと思います。
ヨットハーバーの駐車場は早い者勝ち(駐車禁止エリアもあるので注意)のため、ある程度余裕をもってのご到着がベストです。

It was the best experience.
I was a bit anxious since it was my first time snorkeling, but I felt that it was a tour where beginners could participate with peace of mind because the guide was very supportive.
Hanauma Bay is very beautiful, and I was able to see a lot of fish. The swimming time is about an hour, which was just right for me as a beginner.
*For those who regularly engage in water sports, it might feel a bit short.
I think it's essential for participants in the winter season and beginners in snorkeling to rent a wetsuit.
In winter, the seawater is a bit cold, so the wetsuit helps alleviate that, and it provides buoyancy, allowing you to focus on snorkeling with peace of mind.
I will definitely book this tour again when I go to Hawaii.
最高の体験でした。
初めてのシュノーケリングで不安もありましたが、
ガイドさんがフォローしてくださるので初心者でも安心して参加できるツアーだと感じました。
ハナウマ湾はとても綺麗で魚もたくさん見ることができ、
遊泳時間は1時間程度ですが、初心者の私にはちょうど良い時間でした。
※普段からマリンスポーツをされている方には、もしかしたら少し物足りないかも
また冬シーズンの参加の方、シュノーケリング初心者の方は、
ウェットスーツのレンタル必須だと思います。
冬は海水が少し冷たいのでその緩和と、
浮力があるので安心してシュノーケリングに集中できます。
またハワイに行く時はこのツアーを必ず予約します。

I couldn't enjoy myself freely because I was with people I didn't know well. I would like to have a bit more free time. Although we got in early, we could only swim for about an hour, so I couldn't go to the places I wanted to. I didn't think Hanauma Bay was more beautiful than it was four years ago. It was nice that the fish were used to people and didn't swim away. The guide was kind and helpful. Since I didn't need water or snacks, I would have preferred a lower price or at least to have about two hours of free time.
初めての人たちと一緒だったので自由にできなかった。ある程度自由時間がほしい。早く入れたが実質泳げるのが1時間程度なので、行きたいところに行けなかった。4年前より、ハナウマ湾が綺麗だとは思えなかった。魚は慣れていたので逃げないのは良かった。ガイドさんは親切で良かった。水もお菓子もいらないので、もう少し安くするか、せめて2時間くらいは自由にしたかった。

It was a great way to start the day. Super convenient if you're staying at a hotel on Kalakaua Ave. Just walk to the Duke Statue on Waikiki Beach, check-in and board. No driving to the harbor and dealing with parking. The crew were all very professional and super helpful to nervous, first time snorkelers. They rent all that you need but they don't have fins so if you want/need fins bring your own.
We stopped on the way out to observe some dolphins so if you're lucky its not just turtles you'll see. Definitely worth it and we will go again the next time we visit.

I heard that the water has become clearer thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, so I visited Hanauma Bay for the first time in 42 years. I feel like the water was clearer back then compared to this visit. However, there were so many sea cucumbers that there was hardly any space to stand, making it uncomfortable to land on the sandy bottom. This time, I hardly encountered any sea cucumbers, and I felt there were many types of fish. I'm good at free diving, but since I borrowed a wetsuit for the season, my body was buoyant, making it difficult to dive deep, which was a hassle. It seems just right for looking down from the surface without diving.
コロナパンデニックのお陰?で水がきれいになったと聞き、42年ぶりにハナウマ湾に行ってきました。
その頃は今回より水は綺麗だったような気がします。
ただ、足の踏み場が無い程の大量のナマコがいて砂地の着地は気持ちが悪かったです。
今回はナマコには殆ど遭遇せず魚の種類も多く感じました。
素潜りは得意の方ですが、季節柄ウエットスーツを借りただけに体が浮き深く潜る事ができにくく厄介でした。

It wasn't low tide, so the water level was about waist-high. I think it's a matter of luck when participating. I personally enjoyed the waist-high water more than the knee-high water. I recommend checking the low and high tide times in advance when making a reservation, but you can enjoy the beautiful sea regardless.
Also, since it was a lounge boat plan, we were able to use one SUP in a private setting, which was comfortable. It was a bit cold on the boat due to the strong wind, but they provided windbreakers with hoods for everyone, which was helpful.
I declined snorkeling due to the cold, but the captain was flexible and asked if we should drift a bit or stay here.

I visited Hanauma Bay for the first time in over 10 years. Previously, I could take a direct bus from Waikiki and freely enter the water, but it seems that after COVID, you can no longer enter without a ticket. I gave up on getting a ticket since they are sold online only two days in advance, so I joined this tour instead.
The guides were a very kind and wonderful Japanese woman and a gentle foreign man who spoke fluent Japanese. From the entrance to the explanatory video and entering the water, it was a bit complicated, so I felt it was difficult without a Japanese-speaking guide.
They took us to a snorkeling spot with lots of fish, which was really fun. Although I didn't see any sea turtles, I was glad to see many different types of fish. I recommend this for anyone wanting to visit Hanauma Bay. Also, if you're going in winter, a wetsuit is essential. The sun is hot, but the water temperature is surprisingly low.
10年以上ぶりにハナウマベイに行きました。
以前はワイキキからバス1本で行けて、海にも自由に入れましたが、コロナ後は入場チケットがないと入れなくなったようです。しかも2日前からオンライン販売と、チケットを入手するのは難しいと諦め、こちらのツアーに参加しました。

Aloha, thank you very much for joining our tour and letting us know that you had a great experience with us. Marine life including turtles in Kaneohe Bay are very special for us. We are delighted that you spotted some of them while snorkeling! Thank you so much for giving us a five-stars, we hope to welcome you back aboard soon. A hui hou

Our family of 6 was excited about snorkeling and seeing turtles. My children and husband had never been before, so this was a perfect day with a Nick taking the kids through the water. It was a personal tour of the beautiful reef. My elderly parents preferred staying on the boat, but that was excellent too as Sam filled us in on all the history about the island. I would highly recommend taking the two-hour private charter as the attention to detail and attention to guests is unmatched. They had drinks and water for us.
What are you waiting for? Book your private charter today and experience your ocean snorkel on a level above the rest.

It might be the same everywhere, but I was forced to wear a buoy around my waist and was bombarded with English instructions. Even when I wanted to get out because it was cold, they wouldn’t let anyone leave until everyone was in the water. If I tried to get out from another spot, I was redirected. It was a terrible place. It would be better if there were Japanese staff present.
どこも同じようなものかも知れませんが、腰に、うき具を付けらされ、一方的に英語でまくし立てられ、寒いから上がろうとしても、全員水に入るまでは、上がらせない。別の所から上がろうとすると回らされる、最低な所でした。日本人スタッフが居るところが良いですね。

Snorkeling with Mickey was so much fun! It was good to see that he was enjoying it as much as we were, even though it’s something he’s done many times. He really knows how to make you feel at ease while in the water, even for first time or lesser experienced swimmers. The activity itself was very cool. We got to see some interesting animals at the ocean floor, such as sea cucumbers, sea urchins, and even some fish. I would definitely recommend to anyone who is thinking of signing up for it, and for such a reasonable price too. Surprisingly the photo’s actually turned out quite well too.

The basics were very helpful, however, the limitations with life vests and the lack of actual sea life made it a little less of a good experience. Overall it was received well by the family and was fun enough.
