**Review**
The round-trip transportation to Hanauma Bay and the rental of snorkeling gear made it easy to enjoy snorkeling with minimal luggage! Even in shallow areas where you can stand, there were fish as big as those in Thailand swimming around, allowing beginners to see many fish, which was a lot of fun. The time spent at Hanauma Bay was also sufficient.
The driver spoke English, but he spoke slowly and used simple language, making it easy to understand. He was friendly during the ride, and I felt the warmth and kindness of the people of Hawaii! It was truly a wonderful experience that will remain a lifelong memory.
I also appreciated that I could enter Hanauma Bay without worrying about the reservation scramble that individuals have to deal with.
**Points for Improvement**
The bus was scheduled to gather at 5:40, but it actually arrived at exactly 6:00. Since there were elderly passengers on the same bus, I understand that delays can happen.
However, there were two emergency contact numbers provided in case of delays, but neither of them was reachable. Both just had an automated message saying, "The office opens at 8 AM, so please call back after that." I waited for 20 minutes and was really starting to feel anxious about whether to leave. I would like to see the emergency contacts made more reliable.
The driver was a good person, and because of his kindness and the beauty of Hanauma Bay, I am very satisfied overall, but I deducted one star due to the phone issues.
【感想】
ハナウマ湾への往復の送迎と、シュノーケリングのための道具を貸し出してくれるので、少ない荷物で快適にシュノーケリングが楽しめました!
海の中で足がつくような浅い場所でも、タイくらいの大きさの魚が泳いでおり、初心者でも何匹も魚を見ることが出来て、とても楽しかったです。
ハナウマベイに滞在できる時間も十分でした。
ドライバーさんも英語で話しますが、ゆっくり目に話してくれたり、簡単な英語で伝えてくれるので理解しやすかったです。
往復の車内でもフレンドリーに話してくださり、ハワイの人の温かさや親切さを感じました!
一生の思い出に残る、本当に良い経験が出来ました。
個人でハナウマ湾に入る時に申し込まなければいけない、ハナウマ湾入場の予約争奪戦を気にせずに確実に入場出来るという点も、安心でした。
【改善して頂きたい点】
バスの集合時刻は5:40集合となっていましたが、実際にバスが到着したのは6:00ちょうどでした。
同じバスのお客さんに高齢の方もいらっしゃったので、到着時間が遅れた事自体は仕方ないと思っています。
ただし、バスの到着が遅れた際に連絡する緊急連絡先のような電話番号が2個案内されていましたが、どちらも繋がりませんでした。
どちらも自動音声で、「事務所のオープンは8時だから、それ以降に電話して下さい」と言う英語の音声が流れるだけでした。
20分待って、本当にもう帰ろうかと思うくらい不安でした。緊急連絡先はしっかり繋がるようにして頂きたいです。
ドライバーさんは良い人でしたので、ドライバーさんの人の良さとハナウマベイの素晴らしさで、総合評価としてはとても満足ですが、電話が繋がらなかったことで星を-1させて頂きました。
I thought the entrance to Hanauma Bay was first thing in the morning, but the time was determined by the group on the bus I took, and we were informed of the entrance start time on-site that day. Mine
ハナウマ湾の入場は朝一番なのかな、と思っていましたが、乗ってきたバスのグループ別に時間が決まっており、当日現地で入場開始時間を伝えられる形でした。私は7:20でした。

I personally used this during my long stay in Honolulu for school. With a departure around 6 AM, I was back at the hotel by just after 10 AM, which allowed me to make good use of my morning. There were only a few people, which added to the private feel, and that was great!
In the morning, we snorkeled in shallow areas due to low tide, but the water was very clear, and I was able to see various fish! According to the guide, it seems that in the afternoon, when the tide is high, we can go further out, but the visibility might decrease a bit. The morning is early, but it seems to be less crowded compared to the afternoon. Both morning and afternoon have their pros and cons.
The guide was also kind and provided helpful advice on how to use the wetsuits and life jackets, as well as how to put on the masks. There are showers and restrooms available on-site.
スクールでホノルル長期滞在時の間に個人的に利用しました。午前6時過ぎ出発で10時過ぎにはホテルに戻られるので朝活の時間の有効活用ができます。人数も数名程度でプライベート感もあり良かったです!
午前の朝は引潮で浅い場所でのシュノーケルとなりますが、海の透明は高く色々なお魚を見ることができました!ガイドさんいわく、午後は満潮になるので沖には出れるみたいですが、透明度は若干下がるみたいです。午前は朝早いですが、午後に比べて空いてるみたいです。午前も午後も一長一短あるみたいです。
ガイドさんも親切でウエットスーツやライフジャケット使用方法、マスク付け方等を親切にアドバイス頂けました。
現地にシャワー、トイレもあります。
I think it's better to rent a wetsuit since you'll be snorkeling for nearly an hour ($10). You'll also need to bring cash for tips for the guide on the way back. (There is a place to store valuables o

I was hesitant because I saw other reviews mentioning that there was no sandy beach, but after checking the tide schedule, I found that the tour time coincided perfectly with low tide, so I decided to participate. Just as I imagined, it was exactly the right time to see the sandy beach, and I was able to witness something precious. The weather was great, and it was the best experience!
I think adults can understand the value of this, but my 6-year-old daughter obviously didn’t grasp it. She seemed to enjoy seeing the turtles and playing with various goods like SAP.
By the way, we also participated in a dolphin swimming tour the day before, but it seemed very scary for her at 6 years old. She was quite nervous when joining this tour, but there were many smaller kids than her, which gave her a sense of security. It turned out to be a fun memory without turning the ocean into a trauma, which was really great.
他の口コミで砂浜は見れなかったなどの書き込みがあったので迷いましたが、潮見表で旅程を確認すると、ツアー時間と干潮がうまく重なっていたので参加してみました。想像していた通り、砂浜が出ている時間ピッタリで、貴重なものが実際に見れて天気も良く最高でした!
大人にはその貴重さが理解できると思いますが、6歳の娘は当然分からず、亀を見れた事や、SAPなど色々なグッズで遊べたことが楽しかったようでした。
ちなみに前々日にイルカと泳ぐツアーにも参加しましたが、6歳にはそちらはとても怖かったようで、かなりビビりながらこちらのツアーに参加しましたが、自分より小さい子も沢山いて安心感があり、海がトラウマにならずに楽しい思い出になりとてもよかったです。

Arrived at the port by bus from the hotel! I packed my change of clothes in a large plastic box and off we went to the sea. The captain explained everything in English, while the Japanese guide provided detailed explanations! We played in the shallow sea for about an hour and saw fish and turtles while snorkeling. I got a bit separated while chasing the turtles and fish, but they quickly brought me back. I couldn't take any photos, but I was glad to see so many fish and turtles.

I was able to see a total of three turtles! I think it's definitely a spot where you can see them. The guide was a foreigner, and when I participated, there were no Japanese participants, so I was a bit anxious, but there was nothing to worry about. I think it's a good idea to take motion sickness medication, as I experienced seasickness and nausea from the waves.
合計で3匹のカメを見ることができました!

You can also see turtles from the boat, and during the one-hour snorkeling experience, you can spot them as well. The service is excellent, and during the free time after the experience, you can relax and enjoy some juice. For those who want to have an intense experience with marine life, the duration might feel short, but I recommend it for those who want a quick taste of Hawaii.
船からも亀さんを見ることもできますし、1時間のシュノーケリング体験の間でも見れます。サービスもすごく良くて、体験後の楽しみの自由時間ではジュースを飲んだり、まったりできます。もしかしたら、ガンガン海の生き物と楽しみたいという方には体験が短いと感じるかもしれませんが、サクッとハワイを体験したい人にはおすすめです。
Make sure to bring a cover-up. You'll be spending a long time at the beach.

I was anxious about the ticket scramble, so I used this service. I received reminder emails multiple times until the day of the event, and they picked me up at the hotel at 5:30 AM. The ride was shared and everything was in English, with no other Japanese passengers. However, they provided a printed sheet in Japanese that included the prohibited items and the pickup time, so there were no issues. It gets quite cold in Hanauma Bay until the sun rises. I think especially Japanese people might find it chilly. Considering the water and air temperature, I believe it's better to go around noon. There was plenty of time, and it was more relaxed compared to the plan with a Japanese instructor. I participated in both, but I think it depends on your purpose. I was able to relax so much that I took a nap for about 30 minutes. We returned to the hotel around 1 PM. If I plan to go to Hanauma Bay again, I will definitely use this service. It was fun.
チケット争奪戦に不安があったので、こちらを利用しました。当日まで何度もリマインドメールがあり、当日早朝5:30ホテルまで迎えに来てくれました。乗合いで全て英語、同乗者も日本人は居ませんでした。ですが日本語のプリントも渡してくれて、禁止事項や迎えの時間場合が書かれていて問題無しでした。ハナウマ湾は太陽が昇るまで結構寒いです。特に日本人は寒いと思います。水温や気温を考えたら昼頃からが良いと思います。時間にはゆとりもあり、日本人インストラクター付きプランよりゆっくり出来ます。どちらも参加しましたが、目的別だと思います。あまりにゆっくり出来て30分程昼寝してました。帰りは13時頃ホテルです。次回ハナウマ湾予定があれば、またお願いします。楽しかった。
Wind and cold weather measures are necessary. I don't think it's a problem if you can't speak English. You need to actively ask the driver for rental items other than your reservation when you get off
風と低温対策は必要。英語は話せなくても問題無いと思います。予約意外のレンタル品は降車時にドライバーに積極的に声を掛けないと借りれませんので、ライフジャケットなどお気をつけ下さい。

We participated with two adults and four children (ages 2 to 13). We were a bit anxious because it was slightly cheaper than other tours and only had English-speaking staff, but I thought communication would be fine as long as we could manage simple conversations. The boat was more luxurious than we expected, and we had a comfortable time.
During the snorkeling, we saw about 5 to 6 sea turtles from a distance for around 40 to 50 minutes. One of the local staff members was snorkeling and pointed out where the turtles were, but he wasn't very proactive, so we ended up diving and searching for them ourselves. However, we were thrilled to see one up close! If I have the chance to go again, I would love to participate.
大人2人、子ども4人(2〜13歳)で参加しました。
他のツアーに比べ少し安かったことと、英語のスタッフのみということで、少し不安はありましたが、簡単な会話ができる程度であれば、全くコミュニケーションは問題ないと思いました。
船も予想以上に豪華で快適に過ごせました。
ウミガメは約4〜50分間シュノーケル中に、5〜6頭遠くに見えました。
1人、現地のスタッフの方がシュノーケルをしながらウミガメのいる場所を教えてくれるのですが、あまり積極的でなかったため、自分たちで潜って探す感じでしたが、1頭至近距離で見れて感動しました!

I participated with the mindset that I might be lucky, but I really got to see sea turtles (there were at least 7 or 8 during the snorkeling), and while I couldn't touch them, they swam and rested right nearby, which made me feel calm.
There were also many fish swimming around, and I had fun trying stand-up paddleboarding in the shallow waters. It was a wonderful day, not only while I was in the ocean but also relaxing on the boat while enjoying the beautiful scenery. Spending a day on this tour during my short stay in Hawaii was definitely the right choice. I highly recommend it.

I had the opportunity to go snorkeling in Okinawa, and this was my second time. I felt secure participating with a Japanese instructor. Although we didn't see any sea turtles, they helped us search for spots where we might find them while considering our stamina.
They took care of everyone's valuables and provided changing areas, showers, and restrooms, but since it was a tour, everything was done efficiently. They also offered wetsuit rentals for a fee, explaining that it would help prevent injuries from coral and keep us warm. They advised us to keep swimming without lifting our heads when we found coral (lifting our heads would cause our feet to drop and hit the coral), so wearing just a swimsuit was fine.
The afternoon session was hot, so I didn't feel cold, but my thighs got sunburned while diving. They laid down mats on the sandy beach to keep things clean, and I appreciated the bottled water and snacks provided.
I wasn't used to the tipping culture and missed the chance to give a tip, so I thought it would have been easier if they had included the tip in the total amount when I paid the $25 entrance fee for Hanauma Bay. The service was excellent, so I recommend it even for those who are anxious about their English skills.
シュノーケリングは沖縄でやったことがあり2回目でしたが、日本語インストラクターで安心して参加できました。
ウミガメは見られませんでしたが、私達の体力を気にしつつ何度かウミガメがいそうな場所を一緒に探して下さいました。

砂浜で汚れないようにシートを敷いて下さったり、ペットボトルの水やスナック菓子も頂けて有難かったです。

I encountered sea turtles several times, but the beauty of the ocean and the variety and number of other fish were not very impressive... It might be more enjoyable to participate in the sandbar activities.
ウミガメには何度か出会えましたが
海の綺麗さとその他の魚の種類や数はあまり…
サンドバーに頑張って参加するほうが楽しめるかも
It's inexpensive, but there's a reason for the low price...
安価だけど安価にはわけがある…

The sea was beautiful, and we had plenty of time to take photos, play with the stand-up paddleboards, floaties, and go snorkeling. We had an amazing time!!
The staff were all fun and kind. When I lost something, they continued to search for it even the day after we left, and I am very grateful for that. They made sure that the participants had the best time to create wonderful memories of their trip!!
It was such a great experience that I definitely want to go back if I have the chance to visit Hawaii again. 😊
海は綺麗で写真を撮る時間、サップ、浮き輪、シュノーケリングなど遊ぶ時間がたっぷりあり、思いっきり楽しめました!!
スタッフの方も楽しく、優しい方達ばかりです。
無くし物をした時は、私たちが帰った次の日も探してくれてとても感謝しています。
参加者たちの旅行が最高な思い出になるように最高の時間にしてくれました!!
またハワイに行く機会があったら絶対行きたいと思えるような時間でした(^^)
Please make sure to hold onto your important belongings! I dropped my iPhone in the sea (꒪д꒪II). I'm really grateful that the staff found it the next day. Everyone, please be careful! ( ;∀;)
大事なものはしっかり持っていてくださいね!!私はiPhoneを海に落としました(꒪д꒪II

The sandbar wasn't out, but it was shallow, so my family enjoyed stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). In the second half, we went snorkeling in deeper areas with coral reefs 😃 and were able to see fish and sea turtles 💓. A Japanese staff member explained everything, so it was fine even if we didn't understand English. They also prepared spam onigiri and drinks, which we enjoyed. I was a bit hungry, so it was delicious 😊.
サンドバーは出てませんでしたが浅くなってたので家族でsupを楽しみました。後半は珊瑚礁のある深いところでシュノーケリングをしました😃魚やウミガメを見ることができました💓日本人のスタッフさんが説明してくださり英語がわからなくても大丈夫でした。スパムおにぎりや飲み物も用意してくださってたのでいただきました。小腹が空いてたので美味しかったです😊
If you can swim, definitely try snorkeling! 😃
泳げる方はぜひシュノーケリングも体験してください😃

Since we had a Japanese guide, we were able to relax and enjoy snorkeling with explanations in Japanese! My friend, who was snorkeling for the first time, had a great time! It was amazing to see the fish up close!
日本人のガイドさんだったので、日本語で説明いただき、安心してシュノーケルができました!一緒に行った友人は初シュノーケルでしたが、とても楽しんでいました!魚が近くで見えて感激です!
There is a place to shower and change, so I think it's a good idea for those with plans to bring a change of clothes!
シャワーと着替えられる場所があるので、次の予定がある人は着替えを持って行ってもいいと思います!
Thank you for joining the tour. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed it. I hope you will consider repeating your visit the next time you come to Hawaii. I look forward to seeing you again! Mahalo!! Chieko

The sandbar, which I was most looking forward to on my trip to Hawaii, was an experience beyond my imagination!
The white sandy beach that appears right in the middle of the emerald green sea is truly a "heavenly ocean." Looking around, the panoramic view is breathtaking in every direction. The scale is something that photos can't capture, and I was simply moved…!
Spending time leisurely on the boat while feeling the sea breeze was also the best.
ハワイ旅行で一番楽しみにしていた、サンドバー。想像以上の感動体験でした!
エメラルドグリーンの海のど真ん中に現れる白い砂浜はまさに“天国の海”。
周囲を見渡せば360度パノラマの絶景。写真じゃ伝わらないスケール感に、ただただ感動…!
ボートで海風を感じながらのんびり過ごす時間も最高でした。

It was a pity that the weather was a bit bad, but I was able to fully enjoy activities like SUP and snorkeling! Snacks and Spam were also provided, so I could eat and drink freely. I would love to participate again!
天気が少し悪かったのが残念でしたが、SUPやシュノーケリングなどアクティビティを存分に楽しめました!スナックやスパムも用意されているため、自由に飲食できました。また参加したいです!
On the boat, we take off our flip-flops, but I felt it would be nice to have water shoes in the sea!
船の中ではビーチサンダルなど脱ぎますが、海の中ではウォーターシューズなどがあったらいいなと感じました!

This was one of our favorite days on vacation going on the catamaran with my kids snorkeling and seeing Sea turtles.
I was worried my kids would be to little but everyone on the boat was so helpful and we had the best time ever!

I had a great time snorkeling over the beautiful sea at Sandbar, leisurely walking on the water with a canoe or stand-up paddleboard. The staff were bright and friendly as well.
サンドバーの綺麗な海の上で、シュノーケル🤿をしたり、カヌー🛶やサップで、のんびり海を散歩したりと、楽しい時間を過ごしました。スタッフの方々も、明るく親切でした。
It would be helpful if you have a larger towel since I'll be going home wet.
濡れたまま帰るので、大きめのタオルがあれば助かります。

We had a wonderful experience and thoroughly recommend this tour! Our guide was knowledgeable and safety conscious. It made for a lovely time together exploring beautiful Hanauma Bay.
Water was mildly choppy. Anyone subject to sea sickness may want to take medication.
Thank you guys, glad you had a good time. Hope we see you again. Dan and Chieko
