The windy weather and the current combined to make the water not very clear. The guys were great. We saw lots of fish, but the reef is blah. I’d recommend it but it is not the best snorkeling ever.

I participated in the tour hoping for a guide who could speak Japanese since I was with my 10-year-old child who doesn't understand English. Thanks to Dan, who is very fluent in Japanese, and Chieko, a Japanese guide with extensive experience in Hawaii, we had an amazing time!
My son, who had been avoiding the ocean since he got very seasick in Okinawa, was also very satisfied. If there's another opportunity, I would love to join another tour with both of them! ^_^
英語を解さない10歳児連れだったため、日本語が通じるガイドさんを希望して参加しました。日本語がとっても堪能なダンさんとハワイ歴の長い日本人のちえこさんのガイドのおかげで最高に楽しめました!

I recommend taking motion sickness medication in advance!

We participated as a family of four. Since I had an injury on my foot, they lent me a lifeguard. Once we entered the sea, there were many fish swimming around. After swimming for a while, I was able to see a turtle swimming at the bottom. It was a valuable experience since I had never seen a turtle before. I would like to participate again if I have the opportunity.

Our family of 6 got to experience this tour. It was amazing from the start. The Captain and Crew were awesome and very personable. They were quick to help and easy to talk to. We got to see several Sea Turtles and even had a large female surface right next to us. The amount of fish we saw was crazy. The water felt amazing just floating and soaking in the experience.
On the way back we enjoyed some drinks and they took us for a ride down the coast line towards Diamond Head. The views were spectacular.
I highly recommend this if you’re staying in Waikiki.

- Shuttle service was on time.

- Snorkeling was safe for families with children, and we got to see sea turtles.
- During free activity time, we could freely use the SUP and floaties. We enjoyed SPAM musubi, snacks, juice, and water at that time (it was a style where we could take from the basket).
- We could go to the restroom until departure and on the way back, but it got a bit hectic when it was crowded.

The sea was murky due to the effects of the wind and tsunami, but I was able to see turtles when they surfaced while I was on the boat or in the water. Even though the water was cloudy while I was swimming and looking for sea turtles, I could see schools of fish, so I think there were many more. The sea is usually much clearer, so I would like to go again next time if the timing works out.
The cruise staff were kind, and since the sea was murky, they offered a complimentary soft drink and suggested an alternative for the sunset cruise.
風と津波の影響により海は濁っていたが船の上や海に入っている時に亀が水面に上がって来た時に見えた。他にもウミガメを探して泳いでいた時に濁ってはいたが魚の群を見ることが出来たので他にも沢山いたんだと思う。普段の海はもっと透き通っているみたいなので次回行く時はタイミングが合えばまた行きたい。
クルーズの人たちは親切で海が濁っていたこともありソフトドリンクの1杯サービスとサンセットクルーズの代替案を提示してくれた。
If there are people who get seasick, it's better for those who are prone to motion sickness to bring anti-nausea medication.

It was a very enjoyable experience. It was my first time experiencing a sandbar. I checked the tide schedule and made a reservation for the tour to match the timing when the water level would be knee-deep. When we set off, the sky was very cloudy, and it started to rain as we began to move, but by the time we arrived at the sandbar, although some clouds remained, we could see blue skies. The water level was about knee-deep, which was just right for walking in the water. There were some algae floating around, but it was fun to walk through them. Although it wasn't low tide enough for the sandbar to be completely exposed, it felt nice to walk on the white sand. Additionally, I was able to try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). Since it was my first time, I started by sitting down, but because there were hardly any waves and the water was shallow, it was easy to stand up. I didn't go snorkeling, but according to a friend who did, there were sea turtles swimming right next to them, and it was a lot of fun.
とても楽しい体験でした。
初めてのサンドバー体験でした。
潮の干満のチェックをして、膝下の水位になるタイミングに合わせてツアーの予約をしました。
出港する時は凄い曇天で、走り出した時には雨も降ってきたのですが、サンドバーに到着した時には多少雲は残っているものの青空が見えてきました。
水位は膝下くらいで、水の中を歩くのにも適度でした。藻がプカプカ浮かんでいましたが、それをかき分けながら、歩くのも楽しかったです。
サンドバーが完全に露出するほどの干潮ではありませんが、白い砂の上を歩けるのは気も良かったです。
さらに、SUP体験もできました。SUPは初めてだったので、最初は座ってやってみましたが、波がほとんどないのと、浅い海なので立ち上がるのも簡単にできました。
シュノーケリングはやりませんでしたが、体験した友人の話では、ホヌがすぐ脇で泳いでいて、とても楽しかった、とのことでした。
It's a good idea to check the tide schedule before making a reservation. When walking on the sandbar, I think it's easier to walk with marine shoes after enjoying the feeling of the sand barefoot.
潮の干満をチェックしてから予約するのが良いです。
サンドバーを歩く時は、裸足で砂の感触を味わったあとは、マリンシューズ等で歩いたほうが歩きやすいと思います。

The morning gathering was early, so my 5-year-old child looked sleepy the whole time, but when the dolphins appeared, he was completely absorbed in watching them in the water. I was a bit anxious about managing our valuables, but I was able to take care of them myself at the foot of the boat, so there was really no need to worry. There were times when Japanese speakers were available, so we had no language barriers, and the English staff were friendly, making it a fun experience. I recommend signing up for the photo package (up to 4 people for $79) because you won't need to bring a camera, and they will even take underwater photos for you. It was nice to have a credit card and some cash for tips. It might be a good idea to take motion sickness medication just in case. Our family, both adults and children, were fine, but I saw a few people who were really struggling with seasickness. Overall, it was a great experience that the kids enjoyed very much.
朝集合が早かったので、5歳の子供は終始眠そうでしたが、イルカが見えると夢中で海の中を見ていました。
貴重品の管理が不安でしたが、船の足元に自分で管理で、特に心配する必要もなかったです。
日本語が話せる方がいる時間帯だったので、言葉面でも不自由なく、英語スタッフの方も気さくで楽しく過ごせました。
フォトパッケージ(4人まで79ドル)を申し込めば、カメラを持っていく必要もなく、水中の写真まで撮ってくれるのでおすすめです。
クレカとチップ分の現金があれば良い感じでした。
酔い止めは念のため飲んでおいたほうがいいかと。
我が家は大人も子供も飲んで平気でしたが、数名凄まじい勢いで戻してる方がいて辛そうでした。

The shuttle bus was almost full, mostly with Japanese people. There were also Japanese crew members on the boat who provided guidance in both English and Japanese, which made me feel at ease.
When standing on the sandbar, the water was up to my waist. They lend various items like stand-up paddleboards, floaties, and beach balls. First, we played with the equipment, and then we all went snorkeling over the coral reef. There was a note that said you should be able to swim, but I personally can't swim, yet it was fine because I floated with a life jacket. I think those who can swim will be okay with the flotation assistance, but it's at your own risk.
However, it was quite difficult to move forward since there were no fins. I was paddling like a dog, but my husband, who can swim, said, "I can't move at all..."
I was able to see a lot of sea turtles that I wanted to see, and it was so much fun! There were times when they were right in front of me, and since I couldn't move smoothly, I was flustered (laughs).
Including what I saw from the boat, I spotted about five or six turtles! The sea was incredibly beautiful, and even though it was expensive due to the weak yen, I’m really glad I participated.
送迎バスはほぼ満席で日本人がほとんどでした。船のクルーは日本人の人もいて英語と日本語でも案内してくれたので安心できました。
サンドバーの上に立つと腰あたりまで水がありました。sup、浮き輪、ビーチボールなど色んなものを貸してくれます。最初遊具で遊んでその後みんなで珊瑚礁の上をシュノーケリングしに行きます。注意事項に泳げる方とありますが実際私は泳げないのですが、ライフジャケットで浮くので問題ありませんでした。浮く補助があれば泳げる方は大丈夫かと思いますが自己責任で。
ただフィンがないので進むのは結構大変でした。私は犬かきで動き回ってましたが主人は泳げるのに「全然進めない…」と言ってました。
見たかった海亀を沢山見れてすっごく楽しかったです!触れたらいけないのにすぐ目の前にいた時もありスムーズに動けない私はワタワタしました(笑)
船の上から見たのも含めて5、6匹は見れました!
海もめちゃくちゃ綺麗で円安で高かったけど参加して本当に良かったです。
There is no place to change, so it's a good idea to wear your swimsuit and put on a T-shirt or shorts over it that you don't mind getting wet. You can just get on the bus as you are on the way back.

The tsunami stirred up the sand, making the water very murky, but I was able to swim alongside the honu when they surfaced! I saw more than ten of them from the cruise as well.

Although I couldn't participate this time, the staff's response was excellent, and I would love to join again. They also offered alternative options to participate in a sunset cruise tour besides the honu, showing their flexibility in accommodating us.

また、今回は津波の影響で濁っていたこともあり、滞在中に無料で参加できるツアーまで案内してくださった。今回は参加することができなかったが、この件も含めスタッフの対応がとても良く、また参加したいと思いました。
ホヌ以外にも、サンセットクルーズのツアーにも参加可能の代替案を提案してくださり、臨機応変に対応してくださる。
Although there is also the impact of the tsunami, it would be good to have motion sickness medication available since there were some people who were feeling seasick.
津波の影響もあるが、船酔いしている方がいたため、酔い止めがあると良い。

The staff who can speak Japanese will mainly be in charge. At the sandbar, you can have fun with activities like stand-up paddleboarding and taking photos, and you can also return to the boat to enjoy juice, snacks, fruits, and spam onigiri. In the second half, we went snorkeling in deeper waters, where we were able to see sea turtles and many fish! It's one of the recommended activities!
日本語を話せるスタッフの方がメインで担当してくれます。
サンドバーではSUP等で遊んだり写真を撮ったりしながら、途中船に戻ってジュースやお菓子、フルーツ、スパムおにぎりを食べることもできます。
後半は深場でシュノーケリングでしたが、ウミガメやたくさんの魚達に会えるとこができました!
おすすめのアクティビティの1つですよ!
I recommend checking the tide charts for Hawaii and making a reservation!
ハワイのタイドグラフを確認して予約することをおすすめします!

A group of three friends who have been close for 40 years. We always dreamed of going to Hawaii together, and this year, we made that dream come true as we celebrated our 60th birthdays! Just as we researched, we were able to fully enjoy the amazing "Heavenly Sea" at low tide. We had a great time with sandbar walks, snorkeling, and stand-up paddleboarding, thanks to the staff's friendly advice! Onboard, there were spam rice balls, snacks, mineral water, and hot drinks provided, making for a truly satisfying experience! We're going again!!

On July 29, there was a tsunami warning, and on July 30, the warning was lifted. However, on the morning of July 30, I received an email about the cancellation of the Hanauma Bay snorkeling shuttle. I imagine the tour company needed to gather information, but the details were unclear.
Since I had registered my mobile number at the time of booking, I received the cancellation email one hour prior, but it came on the morning of the day itself. We discussed as a family that it was understandable given it was the day after the tsunami warning.
After that, I took a chance and exchanged messages with the contact person via SMS, and I found out that there were three spots available for snorkeling at Hanauma Bay the next day, July 31. Becca from Kaimana Tours assisted us. Since all the other tour guests were conversing in English, I felt hesitant to express my gratitude in my limited English. I couldn't confirm if the person who provided the shuttle service that day was Becca. I appreciate Becca's assistance and would be grateful if you could convey my thanks.
7月29日に津波警報があり、7月30日は警報解除になりましたが、7月30日午前のハナウマ湾のシューノーケル送迎の中止のメールが当日朝きました。ツアー会社は情報収集する必要があったと想像していますが、詳細は不明でした。
予約時にスマホ番号登録しているので1時間前ですが当日朝に中止メールが来ました。津波警報の翌日でしたので仕方がないねと家族で話していました。
その後にダメ元で担当者様の連絡先にショートメールでやりとりを行ったところ、翌日の7月31日に空き枠が3名分あるとのことで翌日にハナウマ湾シュノーケリングができました。
Kaimana ToursのBecca様に担当していただきました。他のツアー客が全員、英語で会話していたので、拙い英語に気が引けてお礼を伝えることが出来ませんでした。当日の送迎していただいた方がBecca様かも確認できませんでした。Becca様のご対応に感謝しています。有り難うございましたと伝えていただけたら幸いです。
The ease of booking through the VELTRA app, the quick confirmation emails, and the reassurance of reminder emails (which are sent repeatedly, perfect for forgetful people! Haha) make it hard to consid
VELTRA様のアプリ予約のし易さ、予約確認のメールの迅速さ、リマインドメール(繰り返しあります。うっかり屋さんに必要。笑)の安心感など他社のオプショナルツアー予約は出来なくなりそうです。

It was my first time at the sandbar, and although I felt a bit anxious with the slight wind, the sun peeked through, and I got to see a honu. I was also fortunate to have the best crew, including the captain, which made for an unforgettable experience.
Thanks to the crew member who provided detailed explanations in Japanese and showed great consideration, I was able to enjoy myself with peace of mind.
This was a tour I definitely want to join again when I come to Hawaii. Thank you very much.
初めてのサンドバーで、風が少し吹いていたので、少し不安もありましたが、晴れ間も見え、ホヌにも会えて、また、キャプテン含め、最高のクルーの方々にも恵まれ、最高の思い出となりました。
特に日本語で丁寧に説明や、気遣いいただいたクルーの方のおかげで、安心して楽しむことができました。
また、ハワイに来た際には、絶対に参加したいと思うツアーでした。
ありがとうございました。

I made a reservation while checking the tide chart, and I was fortunate with the weather, allowing me to see the sandbar that emerged from the water! The part that actually comes out of the sea has more coral fragments and rocks than sandy beach, so marine shoes are essential.
I took photos with my iPhone, and it was amazing to see the sea turtles (honu) resting right in front of me and swimming close enough to touch, along with many colorful fish! At first, I was considering a tour that lends fins, but it wasn't necessary since we moved slowly along the not-so-long reef while enjoying the view.
In addition to sun protection, it seems there were jellyfish that the honu feed on in some areas, so having a rash guard would provide extra peace of mind.
潮見表を見ながら予約しましたが天候にも恵まれ、ちゃんと水面から出たサンドバーを見る事が出来ました!
実際に海面から出ている部分は砂浜より珊瑚のカケラや岩のような部分が多く、マリンシューズは必須でした。
写真はiPhoneで撮りましたが、目の前で寝ているホヌや、手が届くほどの距離を泳ぐホヌ、色とりどりの魚もたくさん見る事が出来て最高でした!始めは足ヒレを貸してくれるツアーと悩みましたが、さほど長くないリーフ沿いをゆっくりと見ながら進むので不要でした。
日焼け対策もですが、ホヌが餌にしているクラゲが所々にいたようなので、ラッシュガードはあった方が安心です。
Since there was no time to change before and after the activities, I brought a regular towel for towel drying, a bath towel to place under my bottom in the car on the way back, and a long-sleeved jack
アクティビティ前後で着替える時間はないので、タオルドライ用の普通のタオルと帰りの車でお尻の下に敷くバスタオル、皆様のアドバイス通り長袖の上着を持って行きました。

I was able to have an experience just like the photos. I snorkeled with my child and swam with several sea turtles, which became a wonderful memory. The stand-up paddleboarding I tried during my free time was also fun. The snacks on the boat, including spam onigiri and miso soup, were plentiful, and both my child and I were very satisfied.
写真通りの体験をすることができました。
子供と一緒にシュノーケルをし、何匹ものウミガメと一緒に泳ぐことができ良い思い出になりました。空き時間で挑戦したSUPも楽しかったです。船上での軽食はスパムおにぎりやみそ汁など充実しており、子供ともども大満足でした。
Children, in particular, seem to feel a bit cold after coming out of the water. It might be a good idea to have a T-shirt to change into from a wet rash guard.
子供は特に、海から上がると少し寒く感じるようです。濡れたラッシュガードから着替えるTシャツなどがあると良いかもしれません。
