Hanauma Bay Snorkel Tour with Expert Guide & Waikiki Transportation

Great Experience!

Reviewed by: Adriana

Dan and his wife were great! We had two cars because we were a party of 7. Dan was my driver and he was very good at giving us a mini tour as we were driving to Haunama Bay. Once we arrived, we didn't have to stand in line at all. We went into a mini theater to watch a 9 min video orientation. Then we were off. We went down to Hanauma Bay via a trolly. He and his wife explained how to use our gear and made sure it was all on properly. We all had a great time. This was definitely a fun activity to do as a family. The underwater views were amazing. If you don't have a waterproof camera, its fine. Dan takes a bunch of pictures and uploads them on to his website/facebook page and gives you the link, so you can view them. Don't worry if you don't know how to swim, we had a couple people in our party who didn't know how to and they were just fine. Dan, thank you. We will definitely choose you again! :) -Mahalo!

シュノーケリングクルーズ　イルカやウミガメに出会えるチャンスも！？選べる8時／12時出港プラン＜ハワイアンプレートランチ＆アルコール4杯付き／ワイキキ送迎あり＞

It was fun. 楽しかったです。

Reviewed by: sachi

I was able to enjoy the beautiful coastal scenery, cruising, snorkeling, and dining. Unfortunately, we didn't see any dolphins. Since it's nature, there's nothing we can do about it, but I was really looking forward to seeing dolphins, so I was quite disappointed. There were no Japanese staff, but there was a funny staff member who spoke fluent Japanese and provided explanations, so I didn't have any issues. There was only one other group of Japanese participants besides us. It was a friendly and enjoyable cruising experience. Next time, I want to see dolphins!

沿岸沿いのキレイな景色とクルージング、シュノーケリング、食事を楽しむことができました。
残念ながらイルカは見られませんでした。自然相手のことなので仕方が無いのですが、とにかくイルカを楽しみにしていたので、残念でなりませんでした。
日本人のスタッフはいませんでしたが、日本語ぺらぺらの面白いスタッフが説明をしてくれて、困ることはありませんでした。日本人の参加者は私たち以外にもう1組だけでした。
和気あいあいと楽しいクルージングでした。次はイルカが見たいです！

野生のイルカウォッチング＆ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ　ジャンボスライダーやSUPも楽しめる！＜ランチ付き／ワイキキ＆コオリナ送迎／日本語または英語ガイド＞

Participated in a dolphin tour with kids. 子連れ初ドルフィンツアーに参加

Reviewed by: vivian

We participated as a family of four with a three-year-old and a five-year-old kindergarteners. I felt reassured to sign up because I read in reviews that it’s fine for small children.

Everyone was excited and looking forward to the departure and arrival at the point. Although there were floating devices, for the little ones with zero swimming experience, there was quite a bit of resistance to entering the sea! As a result, our speed slowed down significantly, and we couldn't catch up with the larger group.

In the end, Dad and the kids gave up and returned to the boat first, while Mom managed to see the dolphins playing for just a moment.

The hamburger for lunch was delicious!

三歳と五歳の幼稚園生を連れて家族4人の参加でした。
口コミで小さい子でも大丈夫ですよって書いてあるため、安心して申し込みました。

出発、ポイント到着までは、皆期待しながら、ワクワクしていました。
浮く道具はあったものの、水泳経験０のちびっ子にとっては、海に入るのがなかなか抵抗があった！お陰で進むスピードがかなり落ちていて、大部隊になかなか追いつけられませんでした。

結局、パパと子供達は諦めて、先に船に戻って、ママ一人何とかイルカ群が遊んでいる姿を一瞬だけと、みることができました。

昼食のハンバーガーはおいしいかった！

Hanauma Bay Snorkel Tour with Expert Guide & Waikiki Transportation

We had the best time!

Reviewed by: Bill & Karen/SLC

My wife and I had never been snorkeling and one of the things that my wife had wanted to do for years was to swim with the dolphins. We wanted to learn how to snorkel and found this tour on Veltra. The tour was scheduled the day after we arrived in Hawaii and we received a courtesy call reminding us of the time and place for pickup. Dan was right on time and met us at the pickup place. He was cordial and interesting to talk to. Everything was arranged for us at the Bay. His instructions were easy to understand and we headed into the water. We were later joined by Dan's wife Chieko and they stayed with us the whole time. We enjoyed seeing the beautiful, colorful fish as well as the turtle swimming in the bay!

We had a very enjoyable time and recommend this tour very highly! Dan and Chieko were wonderful hosts. We are grateful for the time they spent with us (as well as others that were with the tour) as we were able to go to other beaches and snorkel.

Thanks so much Dan & Chieko. We hope to see you again!

Excellent for beginners...

Reviewed by: Maggie

This was my first time ever for snorkeling and I was a bit nervous. Dan, my guide, was so patient and easy going. Made it so easy to relax and learn... He helped hold my hand and guide me through the bay, saw a lot of cool water life. This was an excellent tour, I didn't have to think about anything. Was picked up at the hotel, they brought the gear, snacks, and a trunk to lock up small belongings during the snorkeling. Our guide has an excellent camera and took pictures during the tour and posted it to facebook for me to see and share. Dan is well known at the bay and knows it inside and out. Had a blast and will definitely rebook with Dan, if I ever get a chance to come back to Oahu.

We had a great time with Dan on this snorkel trip. Dan was excellent. The water was great. We saw so many different kinds of fish. I just wish we were able to see a turtle. Dan provided us with the latest snorkels so we didn't have to worry about swallowing water. Definitely recommend!

The only suggestion I would make is to wrap the admission and team fee into the activity fee. It's a bit annoying to have to pay separately.

Reviewed by: Steph

The highlight of our Hawaiian vacation! Dan took care of everything--getting to Hanauma Bay and geared up was super easy. (Gear was top notch.) After quick instructions we were in the water and looking at fish, turtles, etc. Our 7 yr old son is not a good swimmer but Dan's wife swam with him and helped the whole time so my husband and I were able to enjoy the experience without having to constantly focus on him. The tour was the perfect length and best part was photos waiting for us online afterwards--didn't have to lug camera around ourselves and got great momentos of trip. Highly recommend for families with kids or anyone who wants a relaxing (but exciting) snorkeling adventure.

We went out to sea and snorkeled for about 50 minutes. Only Americans who could swim quite well participated. We could enjoy watching the turtles swimming. I couldn't swim, so I stayed on the boat, but I was able to see turtles popping up and schools of fish jumping around. On the way back, we raised the sails and went out to sea at an amazing speed. The staff were fun and had a great vibe. I want to speak in native English next time! For sure!

Reviewed by: まぁちゃん

This was the best part of my trip to Hawaii!
- Hanauma Bay is incredibly beautiful. I think it's the most beautiful spot on Oahu.
- The veteran guide takes you to great spots where you can see lots of fish.
- If you're not confident in swimming, the guide provides support, so you can feel at ease.
- The guide takes photos for you, and you can receive the data.
- They provide transportation to and from the hotel, which is super convenient.

I was truly fortunate to have such a great guide, and it was a fun snorkeling experience at Hanauma Bay! If I go to Hawaii again, I will definitely do this optional tour!

今回のハワイ旅行で1番良かったです！
・ハナウマ湾が綺麗すぎる
オアフで1番綺麗だと思いました
・ベテランガイドさんが良いスポットに連れて行ってくれるので魚がいっぱい
・泳ぎに自信がない方はガイドさんがサポートしてくれるから安心
・ガイドさんが写真を撮ってくれて、データでもらえる
・ホテルまで送迎してくれて楽チン

Reviewed by: とも＆やす

I was a bit anxious about snorkeling for the first time, but the guide (a Japanese woman and her husband) explained everything very kindly, so I was able to relax and enjoy it. Since the guide was a veteran, I was able to encounter the sea turtles I had hoped to see, as well as many other fish. Moreover, we had gone without an underwater camera and had given up on taking underwater photos, but the guide had taken some for us, which was a great help. It was also a big plus that we could enter the parking lot without waiting. I'm really glad I found this tour (the guide). If I come to Hawaii again, I plan to request them once more!

初めてのシュノーケリングで少し不安でしたが、ガイドの方(日本人女性とその旦那様)がとても親切に説明してくれたので安心して楽しむ事が出来ました。
ベテランガイドさんという事で、期待していた海ガメにも出会えましたし他にも沢山の魚を見る事が出来ました。
しかも、今回私達は水中カメラを用意せず行ってしまい水中写真は諦めていましたが、ガイドの方が撮っていてくれたものがあり助かりました。
駐車場にも待たずに入る事が出来たのもポイント高かったです♪
本当にこのツアー(ガイドさん)に出会えて良かったです。
次にハワイへ来る事があればまたお願いしようと思っています！

Thank you, Chieko! ちえこさんありがとうございました！！

Reviewed by: ライダー

I used this service during Golden Week, and luckily, it turned into a completely private lesson just for our group. Our guide, Chieko, was very cheerful and kind. Both of us couldn't swim and it was our first time snorkeling, so we were quite anxious, but she explained everything carefully, which made us feel safe to enter the sea. I believe that if anyone follows her instructions, they can enjoy snorkeling.

We snorkeled for about an hour, and we didn't get tired at all. It's definitely a good idea to bring an underwater camera. I think it's also fine to bring a regular camera. You can take pictures with Hanauma Bay in the background. All valuables can be placed in the guide's box, which is locked, so it's safe.

On that day, the wind was really strong, and we couldn't go out further. The water was a bit murky, but there were still plenty of fish. It's a shame we didn't get to see any sea turtles.

The photos that Chieko took with the GoPro were available for download from Facebook.

GWに利用しましたが、運よく私達のグループだけで、完全にプライベートレッスンになりました。
ガイドのちえこさんはとても明るくて優しい方でした。私達は2人とも泳げないしシュノーケリングは初めてで、不安いっぱいの中でしたが、丁寧に説明していただいて安心して海に入れました。説明いただいた通りにやれば、どんな人でも楽しくシュノーケリングできると思います。

1時間ほど続けてシュノーケリングをしましたが、全然疲れませんでした。水中カメラは絶対に持って行ったほうがいいです。普通のカメラも持って行ってもいいと思います。ハナウマベイをバックに写真をとれます。貴重品は全てガイドさんの箱の中に入れて、ロックをかけてくれるので安心です。

この日は風が本当に強くて、沖の方にでることはできませんでした。水も少し白くなってしまっていましたが、それでもたくさん魚がいました。ウミガメに会えなかったのは残念です。

My daughter told me about this tour when I was planing my trip to Hawaii. I booked it through hawaiiactivities.com website and I had no problems. They even called me one day prior to my activity to remind me of my pick up time and location.

The shuttle was there on time to pick me up and during the drive and took us the check-in location. After the safety briefing we started the tour.
The crew was really nice and informative. They are very professional and committed to provided us a unforgettable experience.

While waiting for our turn to go, we spend some time snorkeling and relaxing on the boat, Maunalua Bay is a paradise.

Once underwater you have a guide taking care of you during the whole time. It's so wonderful to see all the marine life coming right next to you, I saw dozens of colorful fishes and a lot of turtles.

The underwater scooter was for sure one of the coolest thing I have ever done.

Luxury Ko Olina Sunset Cruise with Snorkeling, Dinner Buffet & Premium Cocktails - Ocean Joy Cruises

A day that I won't ever forget!

Reviewed by: Ms. Kitty

My friends and I were finally able to get together on Oahu, and we knew that we wanted to spend it out on the water. This cruise was the perfect choice since we got to snorkel at TWO spots (both filled with fish, coral, urchins, etc.), sipped on cocktails, devoured plates and plates of food, watched the sunset AND got to see whales! We literally couldn't ask for more!

After leaving the harbor, we headed out to the first snorkel spot and got the first glimpse of whales and after we got out of the water (which was really warm by the way), we saw even MORE whales!

The food was really hearty and filling (pulled pork, teriyaki chicken, a really tasty pasta salad, white rice, veggies and fruit) and the crew kept all of our drinks topped up :)

Really happy that we got to go on this cruise, and can't wait to go again on my next visit!

My husband and I participated, but we were the only Japanese guests among foreign customers. Before boarding the boat, we had our picture taken in front of it. There was no explanation in Japanese, but we could enjoy the view of Waikiki from the boat. It was my first time snorkeling, but the children among the guests were enjoying it without fear (laughs), so I was able to enjoy the atmosphere. The snorkeling spot was deep enough that you couldn't touch the bottom. They provided floatation devices, so I could snorkel safely and enjoyably. It was quite windy and cold on the boat, so I recommend bringing a jacket.
