Departure at 11:00 is great. If you take the first flight, you might end up boarding the boat sleep-deprived, which can make you more prone to seasickness. So, for those who are sensitive, I recommend the second departure to get a good sleep, enjoy breakfast slowly, take some motion sickness medication, and then head to the boat! Thanks to that, I was able to fully enjoy the activities on the boat without getting seasick.
All the staff were cheerful, and I felt just as relaxed as I did with the dolphins! In Japan, every day is about worrying if you have to conform to certain expectations, but participating in this tour reminded me of the importance of living authentically. I got to see many dolphins and colorful fish, and I was able to fully experience the Hawaiian sea without getting bored, thanks to activities like SUP and the slide on the boat! Mahalo!
11時出発、すごくいいです。1便だと、睡眠不足で船に乗ることになるので、酔いやすい方は2便の出発にして、よく寝て、朝食をゆっくり食べて、酔い止め飲んで船へ!お陰様で、酔うことなく船でのアクティビティを全力で楽しむことができました。
スタッフは全員愉快で、イルカと同じくらい癒されました!日本だと◯◯でなければならないと人に気をつかう毎日ですが、このツアーに参加して自分らしく生きることの大切さを思い出した気がしました。たくさんのイルカ、カラフルな魚にも会えて、SUPや船についてるスベリ台など、飽きずにハワイの海を全身に感じることができました!mahalo!

I participated in the afternoon session. The sandbar had water up to my knees even in shallow areas. Still, I was able to take many wonderful photos! The staff members all spoke Japanese and were very proactive in taking pictures and showing great consideration. Also, the lunch was delicious! It was so good that I went back for seconds! Snorkeling was a lot of fun, with sea turtles coming very close and plenty of fish to see!! If you have a GoPro, you can capture the fish and sea turtles underwater, so I definitely recommend bringing one if you have it! It would also be great to have a float. I participated in November, and while it was a warm day, the water was still a bit cold... I recommend bringing a thick hoodie ('ω').
I definitely want to participate again (〃ω〃)ノ
午後の部に参加させていただきました。
サンドバーは、浅いところでも水が膝上くらいでした。
それでも、素敵な写真がたくさん取れました!
スタッフさんが日本語が話せる方ばっかりで積極的に写真を撮ってくださったり、気配りも素晴らしかったです。
そして、ランチが美味しかったです!
美味しくて、おかわりをしちゃうくらいでした!
シュノーケリングも、ウミガメがとっても近くて魚もいっぱい見れてとても楽しかったです!!
Go Proがあれば、水の中のお魚やウミガメも撮れるので、ある方は絶対持って行った方が良いです!浮きがあればなお良いと思います。
11月の参加で、暖かい日でしたが、それでも水の中が少し寒かった…。厚手のパーカーを持っていくことをお勧めします('ω')

We had a great experience with the shuttle to Hanauma Bay. The driver was very polite and helpful. The van was comfortable and the timing was perfect. The company representative I talked to on the phone was very helpful and gave me excellent advice on where to park our car while we were on the excursion. I would highly recommend this experience. Well worth the price!

Dan arrived early for pick up at our hotel entrance. =) My wife and I have very little to no snorkeling experience, and our swimming experience is very limited. However, Dan and Cheiko made our adventure possible, great for beginners. Dan simplified the instructions to make it easy, fun, and safe for all. Cheiko was excellent in ensuring safety for me as I needed a bit more help/guidance. Saw lots of fishes and would do this all over again.
Thank you, Glad you guys enjoyed. Hope we see you again. Dan and Chieko.

I saw dolphins a few times. It might be a luxury, but this is my evaluation of the tour.
First, make sure to arrive early when boarding the boat. The staff will ask you to fill in from the back, but those who know will sit in the front.
Sitting in the front makes it easier to secure a spot near the staff who are aware of where the dolphins are, as people in the front will jump into the sea first.
Also, it’s inconvenient if there’s no basket for your belongings under you, so try to sit where there is a basket.
You will inevitably have to swim close to the staff. Other guests may kick you or push you aside, but keep moving forward without giving up.
After seeing the dolphins, the staff will say, “Those who haven’t seen a dolphin yet, please come to the front,” but those who are at a distance where they can’t see the dolphins at that point cannot move forward.
This is because those who have seen the dolphins do not give up their spots.
The staff warns not to touch the dolphins beforehand, but even when someone tried to touch them, they didn’t seem to pay much attention.
It’s possible that the group I participated in had a lot of people, and that’s why there were such guests.
At the very least, I felt that it was an unfair tour where some people could see many dolphins while others could not, even though we all paid the same amount.
I don’t think the number of people who can board the boat is the same as the number of people who can enjoy the tour.
It’s dangerous to be kicked by fins, and I think it would have been better to sign up for an experience where you can swim with dolphins at an aquarium instead of insisting on wild dolphins.
イルカは数回、見えました。
贅沢かもしれませんが、それでもツアーとしては
この評価です。
まず、船に乗る際は早めに行きましょう。
スタッフに奥から詰めるように言われますが
分かっている人は手前に座ります。
手前に座っている人から海に飛び込むため
イルカの場所を把握しているスタッフさんの
近くの場所を確保しやすいからです。
また、自分の下に荷物のかごがないと不便なので
下にかごがある場所に座りましょう。
スタッフさんの近くまで泳ぐのは必至で泳ぎます。
他のお客さんに蹴られますし、手で押しのけられますが負けずに進みましょう。
イルカを見た後スタッフの方が
「一度もイルカを見ていない人は前に」といいますが
その時点でイルカが見えない距離にいる人は
前に行けません。
イルカを見た人が前を譲らないからです。
イルカには触らないようにとスタッフの方が事前に注意していますが
触ろうとした人がいても、特に注意をしていませんでした。
私が参加した回が人数が多く、たまたまそういうお客さんだった
可能性もありますが、
すくなくとも、同じお金を払い同じ回に参加したとしても
たくさん見れる人と見れない人がいる不公平なツアーだと感じました。
船に乗れる人数とツアーを楽しめる人数は同じではないと思います。
フィンのついた足で蹴られるので危ないですし
別に野生のイルカにこだわらなくても
水族館のイルカと泳げるものに申し込んだ方がよかったと思っています。

I can't speak highly enough of Dan, he is so kind and patient! He made sure that everyone was completely comfortable in the water with the equipment before starting the tour. He was constantly checking to make sure that everyone was still doing well and took us to some spots further out that a lot of people that were snorkeling on their own weren't going to. I think we got to see a lot more than we would have if we just did it on our own so I highly recommend this tour! We got to see so many different kinds of fish and even a sea turtle! Dan was taking pictures with his GoPro and let us know that he posts them all online on his company's Facebook page and that way you are able to just keep what you want to. Him and his wife were both so sweet and you can tell they really love what they do!
Thanks Ashton, you guys all did great! Your welcome back anytime. Dan and Chieko.

I used the service on November 14, 2019. When the bus arrived in front of the hotel, the driver called out my name, so I was able to board without any confusion. There was no place to change into swimsuits, so I wore mine both to and from the location. After arriving, we headed to the sandbar by boat. There were sales of motion sickness medication and sunscreen on the boat, but I think it's better for those who are prone to seasickness to bring their own. Once we arrived at the sandbar, we had some time to take commemorative photos individually, and then we split into groups for snorkeling and non-snorkeling activities. Snorkeling was only for those who could swim, as it required swimming 20 minutes in deep water. For those not snorkeling, one kayak and four stand-up paddleboards were available, and we could play while being taught how to use them. I didn't go snorkeling, but I was able to see a sea turtle while playing. The turtle came quite close, but touching or chasing it is prohibited. Lunch was a buffet with bone-in short ribs, fruits, and unlimited drinks. There were staff members who could speak Japanese, which was reassuring. Captain Bruce seems to cooperate with Japanese television filming as well.
2019年11月14日に利用しました。バスはホテル前につくと運転手さんから名前を呼んでくれたので迷わず乗ることができました。水着は着替えるところがないので行きも帰りも着たままでした。現地に着いてからはボートでサンドバーへ向かいました。ボートの中で酔い止めや日焼け止めの販売はありましたが、酔いやすい方は用意して行った方がいいと思います。サンドバーではまず着いて記念撮影を各自で撮る時間があり、その後シュノーケリングをする人としない人に分かれて行動しました。シュノーケリングは片道20分足のつかない海を泳がなくてはいけないため泳げる人のみの参加でした。シュノーケリングをやらない人はカヤック一台とサップ四台が用意してありやり方を教えてもらいながら遊ぶことができました。私はシュノーケリングにはいかなかったのですが、遊んでいる時にウミガメをみることができました。かなり近くまでカメさんが来てくれますが触ることや追いかけることは禁止されています。お昼ご飯はバイキングで骨付きカルビやフルーツ、ドリンクも飲み放題でした。日本語対応スタッフもいるので安心でした。キャプテンブルースは日本のテレビ撮影などにも協力しているようです。

This was the tour I was looking forward to the most on this trip. It takes about an hour by bus from the hotel in Waikiki to the boat dock. I was really worried about seasickness, but I was perfectly fine with motion sickness pills and a wristband. The sandbar was truly beautiful and worth the visit! I took a lot of photos during the sandbar walk. The snorkeling was done in a place where you can't touch the bottom, so it's limited to those who can swim. I saw a lot of fish, and there were also many sea turtles, which made for a valuable experience. I wasn't expecting much from the food on the boat, but the barbecue was really delicious! The guide was also a wonderful person.

The welcoming and the explanations after boarding were handled by a refreshing, handsome Japanese staff member, which made me feel at ease and enjoy the experience. It had been 20 years since I last swam, but thanks to the life jacket and the fins for my feet, I felt no anxiety. I was moved to encounter a large group of dolphins on both occasions. When I heard, "Look down at the sea! Dolphins!" and put my face in the water, I saw dozens of them swimming so close that I could almost touch them. We took plenty of photos with our phones in waterproof covers, and the videos of the dolphins turned out beautifully. Snorkeling was also amazing; I encountered sea turtles and got to experience the slide and stand-up paddleboarding, which was the best. The taro cheese burger was delicious too. When I made the reservation, I thought the price was a bit high, but considering it included the life jacket, snorkeling gear, a hamburger, and drinks, and especially the crew who made it fun, it was a very satisfying tour.
お迎え、乗船後の説明などずっと日本人の爽やかイケメンが担当してくれたので安心して楽しめました。
20年ぶりのスイミングでしたがライフジャケットと足に着けるフィンのお陰で不安に感じることなく、2回ともイルカの大群に出会えて感動しました。
「海側下見て!イルカ!」との声で海に顔をつけると、
本当に手に触れそうな近距離で何十頭が泳いでいきましたよ。
写真は自分達で防水カバーに入れた携帯でバシバシ撮って十分でしたし、イルカの動画も綺麗に撮れました。シュノーケリングも海亀に出会え、滑り台、スタンディングパドルも体験できて最高でした。
タロ芋チーズバーガーも美味しかったですよ。

The sandbar tour, which can only be seen at low tide, was wonderful thanks to the friendly staff, and we had a great time. The weather was nice, we got to see the sandbar, and we enjoyed swimming around the anchored boat, where we spotted natural sea turtles multiple times.
Additionally, we had a snorkeling plan included, but we ended up retiring from that. Instead, we were able to borrow kayaks and floats, and we also had the opportunity to experience stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). Although it was for a short time, we also enjoyed cruising on the cruiser, so thank you for that.
Thanks to the staff's fun conversations and attentive service, we had a lovely time. However, for those participating, since it involves snorkeling and a vacation at sea, I hope everyone prioritizes safety, follows the rules, and enjoys themselves responsibly. It was a fun and wonderful experience.

What impressed me the most was how bright, fun, and friendly the staff were.
There are no changing rooms or showers, so it's best to go in clothes suitable for entering the water and just throw on something over your swimsuit for the return trip. I was a bit worried about that, but I didn't feel sticky or uncomfortable after getting out of the water.
It was a wonderful tour where I experienced the best of Hawaii's stunning location and the warmth of its people.

I have had many snorkeling experiences, mostly on boat snorkeling trips, which gave me a sense of security knowing I could return quickly if anything happened. However, this time I had to swim a bit offshore from the coast by myself for an hour, and I became very anxious and thought about quitting. But the guide held my hand, and I managed to swim for a full hour in the beautiful sea. I had a great time and was very satisfied. Thank you!

The lunch included in the package was satisfying and good!
Next time, I want to try a different activity!

I’m really glad I chose this tour for my first snorkeling experience among various options! The two instructors were very experienced and taught us everything in great detail. It was also very reassuring to have instructions in Japanese. I decided to rent a wetsuit on the day, and they were very accommodating with that as well. Everyone participating in the tour was friendly and nice, making for a very enjoyable time. Thanks to this tour, I was able to learn how to breathe properly and clear my ears. We snorkeled from one end of Hanauma Bay to the other for an hour. Afterward, they explained where we swam by showing us an aerial view of Hanauma Bay, which was also moving. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to see any turtles, but I was able to see a lot of fish.
色々なツアーがある中から初めてシュノーケリングをする私はこのツアーを選んでとてもよかった!と思います。
インストラクターのお二人は経験豊かでとても丁寧に細かいことまで教えてくださいます。日本語で教えてもらえることもとても安心です。ウェットスーツを当日借りることにしましたが、それにも快く対応してくださいました。ツアーに参加されている方々も皆さん気さくでいい方ばかりでとても楽しい時間が過ごせました。呼吸の仕方と耳抜きをこのツアーに参加したお陰で私は習得できました。1時間ハナウマベイの端から端までシュノーケリングします。終わってからどこを泳いだかをハナウマベイを上から見て説明してくださり、それも感動します。残念ながら亀には会えなかったですが、たくさんの魚を見ることができました。
Dear Tenten, thank you very much for choosing the Blue Hawaii Divers tour among the many Hanauma Bay tours available. Both of our instructors have over 20 years of diving experience in Hawaii, and we now specialize in offering introductory diving and guided snorkeling tours at Hanauma Bay. Our goal is to provide a fun first snorkeling experience for beginners, making it easy to understand in Japanese!
We would be delighted if you could join us again on your next visit to Hawaii. We will do our best to ensure you encounter sea turtles next time.
Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
てんてん様、この度は数あるハナウマ湾ツアーの中よりブルーハワイダイバースのツアーをお選びいただきまして本当にありがとうございます。
私達インストラクターは2人とも20年以上のハワイでのダイビングの経験を持ち、そして今はハナウマ湾専門で体験ダイビングとガイド付きシュノーケリングツアーを開催しております。初めての方には楽しい初シュノーケリングになっていただけるように、日本語でわかりやすく!を目標にお客様に対応させていただいております。
ぜひまたハワイにお越しの際にはリピートしていただければ幸いです。その時にはウミガメに出会えるように頑張ります。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

We had a great time snorkeling in Hanauma Bay with Blue Hawaii Divers. I am not a great swimmer, but our guide helped make me feel comfortable. I felt at ease even when we were out in deeper parts of the bay (~20 ft, I’d guess). We saw so many fish. Snorkeling is a must-do experience, and I think paying for a guided tour is worth it for their expertise and tips. We compared several guided snorkel options before booking this one, and we found this one to be the best value.
Just some other info: we met the group at Hanauma Bay rather than getting picked up, and it was easy to find the meetup spot. Everyone wears an inflatable life vest. The guides had water and chips for everyone after. They also took pictures with a GoPro during our snorkel activity, which were made freely available on the company’s Facebook page.
Thanks Amber, glad you guys had a good time. Hope we see you again. Dan and Chieko.

I had hoped for a morning tour, but since there were no openings, I joined the afternoon tour instead. I was worried about the water depth, but there was indeed water up to my knees at the sandbar. Still, I was able to see the boundary between the deep blue sea and the clear light blue water, and the scenery was very beautiful. It seems that the encounter rate with sea turtles on this tour is high; they came close to us not only while snorkeling but also when we were in the shallow water. In addition to snorkeling, we could also do activities like stand-up paddleboarding and canoeing. For those who are anxious about snorkeling, it seems there are other activities available to enjoy. As for the meal, we were served Leonard's malasadas right after boarding. They were freshly baked and still warm, so they were very delicious. The barbecue was also served buffet-style, allowing us to eat as much as we wanted. The food was tasty, so I recommend going with an empty stomach. The guides were all very friendly, and I had a great time.
午前のツアーを希望していましたが、空きがなくて午後のツアーに参加しました。水深を心配していましたが、やはりサンドバーでも、膝まで水がありました。それでも、 青く濃い海と澄んだ水色の海の境界は見ることができ、景色はとても良かったです。また、こちらのツアーでのウミガメの遭遇率は高いようで、シュノーケルの時はもちろん、浅瀬にいた時にもカメの方から近寄ってきてくれました。 アクティビティは、シュノーケルの他、SAPやカヌーもできました。シュノーケルに不安がある方は、他のことをして遊べるようです。食事は、乗船してすぐにレナーズのマラサダが配られました。まだ温かい焼き立てをいただけるので、とても美味しかったです。バーベキューもビュッフェ形式で好きなものを好きなだけ食べられます。味も美味しいので、お腹を空かせて行くことをオススメします。ガイドさんもみなさん感じが良く、楽しい時間を過ごせました。
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Heavenly Ocean Tour. We truly appreciate your joining us. We recommend arriving with an empty stomach for the buffet, and that was absolutely the right advice!

The timing was early November. It was cloudy with no sun, and it was cold. If there had been wind, I would have frozen to death. The tour guide said the sea was peaceful with almost no waves, but I still felt a bit seasick.
The biggest mistake was not considering the high tide times. (I think it would have been good to have a prior explanation when making the reservation.) I participated in the morning tour, but it coincided exactly with high tide, and even in shallow areas, the water was up to my chest. I couldn't walk on the sandy bottom as seen in the photos.
It was cold when I got in the water, and I felt seasick when I got back on the boat, so there was no escape. If there had been sandy areas, it would have been better...
In any case, since it's an activity involving nature, whether you can take great photos depends on the weather. It was nice to see sea turtles, and I enjoyed the stand-up paddleboarding as well.
時期は11月頭。曇りで太陽が出ず、寒かった。
もし風があったら凍え死んでた。波はほとんどなくpeacefulな海だとツアーガイドは言っていたが、それでも少し酔った。
一番失敗したのは、満潮の時間を考えなかったこと。(予約時に事前説明があっても良かったと思う)午前ツアーで参加したが、満潮の時間とちょうど被り、浅い所でも胸の深さまであった。写真で見るように砂地を歩くことはできなかった。
海に入ると寒いし、船に上がると酔うしで逃げ場がなかった。砂地があればまだ。。。
いずれにせよ自然相手のアクティビティなので、映える写真が撮れるかどうかも天候次第。
ウミガメが見れたのは良かった。SUPも楽しめた。
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. As you pointed out, the weather and tide are natural factors that depend on the conditions of the day. We will do our best to implement measures against cold and seasickness to ensure our customers are satisfied. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back on another occasion to a sunny sandbar.

There were about 30 participants. We encountered a pod of dolphins after about 30 minutes on the boat. They were diving a lot, and we enjoyed watching them from the boat. When we got into the water, several dolphins were swimming around playfully, and they were really cute. Even if you can't swim, the crew pulled a float to take you to where the dolphins were.
The boat was small, and perhaps due to the high waves that day, a few people got seasick and couldn't enjoy the water later on, which was unfortunate. I wouldn't recommend this for those who are prone to seasickness, but it was a great tour where you could meet dolphins and turtles.
参加人数は30名程いました。
船に乗って30分くらいでイルカの群れに遭遇。
たくさんダイブしてて船の上からでも楽しめました。いざ海に入ってみると数頭のイルカがじゃれ合いながら泳いでて、すごく可愛かったです。泳げなくてもクルーが浮き輪を引っ張ってイルカのいるところまで連れてってくれました。
船が小さく、その日は波が高かったのか数名船酔いでダウンしていて、途中から気分が治らず全然海に入れなかったのが残念でした。
船酔いする方にはオススメ出来ないと思いますが、イルカやカメには出会えるとても良いツアーでした。

I was able to see sea turtles quite closely, and the ocean was very beautiful and moving. During snorkeling, I couldn't find many sea turtles.

Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. Thank you very much for participating. Searching for turtles while snorkeling can be difficult if you're not used to it, right?

I understand that it's meant to be entertaining, but when the dolphins appeared, all the staff shouted, "Look down!" If it happened once or twice, it would be fine, but it went on for a long time.
On the day of the event, the waves were high, and more than ten people, including myself, were feeling nauseous.
Given that situation, I wanted to see the dolphins at my own pace, but it felt quite rushed, which made the nausea worse.
Also, the photos were only of the dolphins and not with them, so they were a bit disappointing.
楽しませるためとは思いますが、イルカが現れた時スタッフ全員で「下見てーーー!」と叫ばれます、一回や2回なら良いですがずっとです。
当日は波が高く、自分も含めて10人以上吐いてました。
そんな状況だからイルカも自分のペースで見たかったのにかなり焦らせる感じで、さらに酔いが回りました。
写真もイルカと写るのではなくイルカのみの写真なので微妙です。

We participated with our child! At first, my son was scared, but thanks to the staff, he ended up having a great time in the sea! They prepared a floating carpet on the water for the kids to play on, provided toys, and for those who didn't go snorkeling, they offered a small boat tour, making it a really enjoyable program! The food was delicious and fantastic too!
Above all, the staff was kind! We are grateful for their consideration in making sure both us and our child had fun! It was amazing to see sea turtles too!

Since there are good options available, I think it would be better to include the details on the tour page.
The photos and videos were $79. Groups that opted for this option wear special rubber bands, which allows them to receive priority for photos. I was satisfied with the results. However, picking up the USB at the office near DFS the next day was a bit of a hassle. It would be nice if they could send it to Japan for an additional $15.
The wetsuit was $10. I tend to get hot, but it was a good decision to wear it. The seawater was quite cold.
せっかく良いオプションがあるので、
詳細をツアーページに記載した方がよいと思います。
写真&動画は$79でした。
このオプションを申し込んだグループは専用のゴムバンドを身に着けます。
そうする事で優先的に写真をとってくれます。出来栄えは満足です。
ただ翌日以降にUSBを
DFS付近のオフィスに受け取りにいくのがちょっとめんどう。
+$15で日本に送ってくれるような・・・
ウエットスーツ
$10でした。
暑がりですが着ておいて正解でした。
結構、海水が冷たかったです。
