Not really worth it.
Drinks are not offered until after you get out of the water. Kinda lame. But safety first, I get it. Ticket says 3 beverages. By the time you're out of the water and get a drink from the bar, you have about 15 minutes out on the water before getting back to the beach. I ordered two drinks and didn't have time to finish my second beverage. And you can't take them off the boat with you.
I saw two turtles. Water is not very clear and you are crowded by so many other tours. You are required to wear a life jacket the whole time, so you can't even dive down to take a closer look at the turtles. They're about 30 feet below you. One did surface, so that was cool.
Staff were super unenthusiastic. Yes, you're working. You live here. We're tourist, whatever. But at least smile. It's like none of them have ever traveled before. This is a bucket list adventure for some people. Maybe show some passion. The male guide couldn't project his voice whatsoever and had zero excitement in his voice when going over safety measures. The female guard also struggled with public speaking and wrapped it up with "I tried my best to make sure you all saw a turtle, if you didn't, that's your fault."
The only person on the boat who deserved part of the tip I left was the good looking thor dude. He was at least friendly. Mahalo to you.
Also. They advertise two hammock like seating areas. A couple scored the first one. The other one was occupied with thier equipment. I kindly asked if they could move it over 4 feet so I could sit there and the girl said no. I arrived early just to claim that spot. I was not the only person to ask, either. Maybe don't put the equipment in the most desirable area to sit?
Would not book again.

I am a woman in my 30s, and this was my first solo trip to Hawaii. I really wanted to try snorkeling at least once in my life, so I decided to participate. There were 9 participants that day, and only 2 of us were solo travelers, including myself. There were 2 instructors, both of whom spoke fluent Japanese, which made me feel at ease. It seems that it's quite difficult to make reservations for Hanauma Bay these days, so it was a good decision to book through this service. They also took photos for us, which helped create wonderful memories. It took a lot of courage for a beginner like me to join alone, but I am grateful for the warm welcome! I didn't see any turtles, but I was very satisfied with the many fish I got to see.
私は30代女性で今回初めてハワイ一人旅をしました。
どうしても人生で一度シュノーケリングをしたくて参加させていただきました。
当日は9人参加で1人参加は私を含めて2名でした。
インストラクターは2名でどちらの方も日本語がペラペラで安心できました。
ハナウマ湾は今はなかなか予約が取れないみたいなのでこちらでお願いして正解でした。
写真も撮っていただいてとても良い思い出を作ることができました。
なかなか初心者一人参加は勇気が必要でしたが、受け入れていただいて感謝です!
タートルは見れませんでしたが、沢山のお魚を見れて大満足でした。

We were going back and forth on which boat to go with and we were so happy we chose this one! The staff were amazing. So friendly and informative and helpful. The live music was amazing and made experience that much more special! They had refreshments and donuts complementary. There we was snorkelling, kayaking, paddle boards and a dock to chill at when you arrived. When we were there we looked around at the other boats and they honestly had nothing going on lol. Would definitely recommend going with them for this experience :)

The boat was large, so it didn't sway at all, and we enjoyed drinks, donuts, and live music on board. I had signed up for a tour that was supposed to coincide with low tide, but we couldn't see the sandy beach, and the water depth was about to the chest of an adult. However, with this depth, it's safe even if you fall while snorkeling, and it might be just right for enjoying snorkeling. During snorkeling, you get to feed the fish, so they come right up to you, which is fun!
大きめの船なので全く揺れず、船上で飲み物やドーナツ、生演奏が楽しめました。干潮の時刻に合わせたツアーを申し込んだはずなのですが、砂浜は見えず、大人のみぞおち位の水深がありました。
でも、このくらいの水深だとSAPで転んでも安全だし、シュノーケリングも楽しめて丁度良いかもしれません。シュノーケリングでは餌をもらえるので魚が向こうから寄って来てくれて楽しい!
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. We were disappointed to hear that the water level was high on the day of your visit, but we are very glad to know that you enjoyed the beautiful sea and activities.

The weather was nice and I had a great time! However, the morning pickup location was the same as other tour companies, so there were a huge number of people gathered, and with so many shuttle vehicles, it was difficult to find my ride. Also, unfortunately, we couldn't see the sandbar due to the timing (but that's just a natural phenomenon, so it can't be helped). I was surprised when they said we would ride the bumper tube and banana boat one after the other right after we arrived (before going into the sea), but the bumper tube was thrilling and fun! The staff were all kind, polite, and enjoyable, which made me feel at ease.
天気も良くとっても楽しかったです!
ただ、朝のピックアップ場所が他のツアー会社と同じなので、ものすごい人数が集まり、送迎車もたくさんなのでどれが自分のお迎えの車なのか探すのに苦労しました。
それと、残念ながらサンドバーは時間帯が悪く見られませんでした。(こればっかりは自然現象なので仕方ない)
ついて早々に(海に入る前に)バンパーチューブとバナナボートに立て続けに乗ると言われびっくりしましたが、バンパーチューブはスリル満点で楽しかったです!
スタッフさんもみんな優しく丁寧で楽しい方たちなので安心でした。

We participated with our family of four, including two children in first and second grade! We thought we would have to go far to see wild dolphins, but we encountered them right along the coast as soon as we left the harbor. I was worried about seasickness and took some Travelmin beforehand, but there were no waves, so it wasn't necessary after all. I guess it depends on the weather.
Since our two children are naturally a bit timid, they quickly gave up on snorkeling as expected, but they had plenty of fun with the waterslide, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding! Our guide, Aya, and the photographer (I forgot their name) were very friendly and easy to interact with, and I'm glad we asked them for photos.
小学1年2年の子供2人、家族4人で参加してきました!
野生のイルカは遠くまで探しにいくと思ったら、ハーバーを出てすぐの沿岸で出会うことができました。船酔いを心配してあらかじめトラベルミンを飲みましたが、波のうねりなども無く、飲む必要はなかったです。天気にもよるのでしょうが。
子供2人は元々怖がりのため予想通りシュノーケルはすぐ諦めざるをえませんでしたが、ウォータースライダー、カヤック、SUPなどで十分楽しんでくれました!
ガイドのAyaさんやカメラマンの方(名前忘れちゃいました)はとってもフレンドリーで接しやすく、写真もお願いして良かったです。

The pickup location and the bus landmark that was communicated in advance were easy to understand. There were staff members who could speak Japanese, so I didn't have any trouble. I enjoyed multiple activities, and there was a live performance on the boat, which was a lot of fun.
Since it was mentioned in the notes that the boat was cashless, I only brought my card and couldn't pay a tip. All the staff were friendly and provided great service with smiles, so I regret not bringing a little cash.
The temperature setting on the bus was quite low, so it was really cold on the way back. I should have brought an extra bath towel or a light jacket as a precaution.

I felt secure participating in the tour thanks to the Japanese guides, Chieko and Dan. We were able to enter without waiting in line, which was stress-free thanks to their arrangements.
The snorkeling lasted about an hour in Hanauma Bay, where we could see many tropical fish, and they provided guidance on what to look for, making it efficient considering the physical exertion. We were lucky to see a Hawaiian monk seal napping on the beach. It would have been great to see a honu as well. Near the entrance to the bay, we also spotted a mongoose.
The swim suit is optional, but I was glad I rented one. The water was unexpectedly cold, and during snorkeling, I bumped my stomach against a rock; if I hadn't been wearing it, I might have gotten injured.
It's reassuring that even small children or those who may have concerns about their stamina can retire midway and return to shore.
日本語ガイドのチエコさんとダンさんで安心してツアーに参加できました。入場もお二人の枠のお陰で並ばずに入ることができてストレスがありません。
シュノーケリングは約1時間、ハナウマ湾内を回るのですが、沢山の熱帯魚が見られるし、これというものを教えてくれるので体力消耗を考えると効率が良いです。海岸ではハワイアンモンクシールもお昼寝してて運が良かったです。あとはホヌに会えれば良かったですね。湾への入り口近くではマングースも見ました。
スイムスーツはオプションですが借りて良かったです。水が思いの外冷たいのと、シュノーケリング中に一回、岩にお腹が当たったのですが、着用してなければもしかして怪我したかも知れません。
小さなお子さんや体力に不安のある方でも途中でリタイアして岸に上がれるので安心です。

I had a great experience snorkeling at Hanauma Bay during my single days, so I wanted my children to share the same excitement, which is why I signed up for this family trip with five of us.
About 25 years ago, I remember there were many yellow fish in shallow waters up to my knees, but now it seems that due to environmental protection and restrictions from the COVID-19 pandemic, things have become stricter, and it was different from my memories of Hanauma Bay.
However, because it is well-managed, the clarity of the water is exceptional. Following the guidance of the instructor, we snorkeled and encountered fish swimming in their natural habitat. Finally, we went to a turtle spot a little deeper and were able to meet a honu (sea turtle).
The instructor was very knowledgeable about Hanauma Bay, and my 6-year-old daughter also enjoyed snorkeling, so I’m glad we participated.
独身時代に行ったハナウマ湾シュノーケリングがよかったため、子どもたちにも同じ感動を味わわせたいと思い今回家族5人で申し込みました。
以前(25年くらい前?)は膝の深さくらいの浅瀬に黄色い魚がたくさんいて餌付けした記憶がありましたが、今は環境保護やコロナ禍を経て入場制限など色々厳しくなったようで昔の記憶にあるハナウマとは違っていました。
しかし管理されているため海の綺麗さは格別で、インストラクターの方の案内に従ってシュノーケリングして自然を泳ぐ魚に遭遇し、最後少し奥の海ガメスポットに行きホヌに出逢うことができました。
ハナウマ湾を知り尽くしたインストラクターさんで6歳の娘もシュノーケリングを楽しめたので参加してよかったです。

Hanauma Bay requires a reservation, which can be difficult to secure, so I booked a tour. I was extremely satisfied with the result.

It seems that the clarity of the water and the activity of the marine life change depending on the conditions at Hanauma Bay, so I would like to come back again. This time, we couldn't see any sea turtles due to the low tide, but the water clarity was very high, and I was able to see many marine creatures, so I was very satisfied!

First of all, the meeting place was hard to find! I think that should be improved.
The tour was in August, and while it was fine until we boarded the boat, upon arrival, there was no land in sight, and it was quite deep. My daughter and grandparents couldn't touch the bottom at all and were nearly drowning.
Also, there was hardly any snorkeling. There were no fish at all. The sea was deep and there were waves, so it was dangerous for shorter individuals (laughs).
Kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding were somewhat enjoyable, but those two activities alone were too much time to fill.
Regarding the day I went, it was quite a disappointing tour.
まず第一に集合場所が分かりづらい!!そこは改善するべきだと思います。
8月のツアーでしたが、船に乗るまでは良かったのですが、現地に到着しても陸地は現れず、かなり深いです。娘や祖父母は全く足がつかず、溺れかけていました。
そしてシュノーケリングも無いようなものです。魚は全くいないです。海も深く波もあるので、小柄な方は命がけでした(笑)
カヤックやサップはそれなりに楽しかったですが、その2つだけで時間を潰すには時間が長すぎます。
私の行った日に関しては、かなりハズレツアーでしたね。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. We are truly sorry to hear that the tide was high and that you were unable to see the fish on the day of your tour, which did not meet your expectations. Tides change daily, so we hope you can aim for a day with lower water levels next time and enjoy a different sandbar experience. Thank you for your valuable feedback. From all of us at KBOS.

I participated with my fifth-grade son.
I felt reassured because the guide was a Japanese woman. There was also a local staff member who spoke a little Japanese, and they were very kind. You could easily recognize them by their tall stature and distinctive hat.
On the way from the port to the sandbar, we enjoyed drinks and donuts while listening to the relaxed singing of a musician.
Once we arrived at the sandbar, we could do stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, and snorkeling, and the local staff kindly taught us how to use the equipment. I could speak a little English, but even those who couldn't speak it were treated with care through gestures, so there was no need to worry. I think you can also do banana boat rides if you make a reservation, but since my child is small, we didn't do that this time.
On the way to the sandbar, a young boy in elementary school became unwell and collapsed, but the Japanese female staff responded appropriately, and there was also a nurse among the guests, so the boy recovered without any issues.
The staff's response and the activities were excellent!
As advice for those who will participate, I think it's a good idea to prepare a change of clothes, including underwear, because it can get quite cold after coming out of the sea while still in wet swimsuits.
There was a hot water tank (for drinking water) near where we could get drinks, and I was grateful to have warm water to drink since I was feeling cold. (*^_^*)
小学5年生の息子と母で参加しました。
案内役の方が日本人女性だったので不安はありませんでした。現地のスタッフの中に片言で日本語を話してくれる方が居てとても親切でした。背が高く特徴のある帽子を被って居たのですぐに分かると思います。
港からサンドバーまではドリンクとドーナツのサービス、そしてミュージシャンのゆったりした歌声を聴きながらの移動でした。
サンドバーにつくとサップ、カヤック、シュノーケリングが出来るのですが、現地スタッフがとても親切に乗り方などを教えてくれました。私は少し英語を話せましたが、話せない方でも身振り手振りで丁寧に接して下さるので心配ありません。バナナボートも予約を入れれば出来るのだと思いますが、子供が小さいのもあり我が家は今回入れませんでした。
サンドバーに向かう時、小学生の男の子が具合が悪くなり倒れてしまいましたが、その時も日本人女性のスタッフが適切に対応されていて、お客さんの中に看護師さんも居たので男の子も回復し事なきを得ました。
スタッフの対応とアクティビティの内容についてははなまるでしたよ!
これから参加する方へのアドバイスとしては海から上がった後、濡れた水着のままだと結構冷えるので、下着を含めた着替えを1セット用意しておくと安心だと思います。
ドリンクをもらえるところの側にお湯が出るタンク(飲料水用)があって、私は体が冷えてしんどかったので温かいお湯が飲めたのは有り難かったです(*^_^*)

This couple is very bright, charming, and wonderful, and they guide together. They know everything about Hanauma Bay, making entry very smooth. They are aware of where the fish are and where sea turtles might come, so we were able to see many colorful fish. When I went before, I only had transportation and went on my own, so I couldn't visit many fish spots, but this time I had a lot of fun. When you're on your own, you can get swept away or feel anxious, but even if you get separated, they stay close and guide you, which gives you a sense of security. We swam from one end of the bay to the other. Even in August, the sea is a bit cold, so I borrowed a wetsuit to avoid getting hurt by the coral. It was great that I could rent one on the spot without a reservation. I think this tour will satisfy both small children and adults. Since it's an early morning tour, we returned to the hotel around 10:30, allowing us to spend the day meaningfully. I highly recommend it!
ご夫妻2人でガイドをされているとっても明るくてチャーミングで素敵なご夫妻です。ハナウマ湾の事を知り尽くしているため入場するのもとてもスムーズです。お魚がいる場所やウミガメが来そうな場所も把握されているため沢山のカラフルな魚を見る事が出来ました。以前行った時は送迎のみで個人で行ったためあまり魚のいる場所に行けませんでしたが今回はとても楽しめました。個人だと流されてしまったり不安がありますが、はぐれてしまっても前後についていてくれるため、こっちだよーと引っ張ってくれて安心感が違います。湾の端から端まで泳ぎました。8月でも少し海が冷たいため、そして珊瑚で怪我をしないためウエットスーツを借りました。予約しなくてもその場で借りることができ良かったです。小さなお子さんも大人も大満足のツアーだと思います。朝早いためホテルに10時半くらいに戻って来ますので一日を有意義に過ごせます。おすすめです!

This was a great experience! Alot of activities for families to do. You can go snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding or just relax on the sandbar. All the equipment was provided. The staff was super helpful and friendly. We would definitely do this again.
Mahalo for your review. Come back soon! - Team KBOS

After an hour's ride on the shuttle bus from Waikiki, we boarded a boat from a quiet harbor, away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki. However, perhaps due to the recent typhoon, the weather was unfortunately rainy, and the child who joined us immediately wanted to go home as soon as we got off the bus and were hit by a sudden downpour.
Despite the weather, as we received donuts and approached the sandbar with the cheerful staff's live performance, the weather improved a bit. By the time we enjoyed two hours of snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, and sea kayaking, the child was having a great time, creating fun memories. The sea was a bit high tide, which was a mix-up with the tides, but it was still great to enjoy the water activities. I would like to try again during low tide when the weather is nice.
Lastly, I left something on the return shuttle bus, but thanks to the kind response from the local company and the driver, it was returned to me the same day. I'm grateful.
It was a different experience compared to other seas.
ワイキキから1時間送迎バスにゆられ、ワイキキの喧騒から離れ静かな港まちから船に乗りました。
しかし、先日接近した台風の影響なのか、生憎の雨まじりのお天気、一緒に参加した子供は、バスを降りた途端のスコール的な雨で、もう帰りたいと言い出す始末。
そんな中の船出でしたが、ドーナツをもらって、陽気なスタッフの生演奏とともにサンドバーに近づいていくと、お天気も少し回復。
シュノーケリングにSUPにシーカヤックに2時間満喫する頃には、子供もおおはしゃぎの楽しい思い出になりました。
海は満潮と干潮を間違えて、やや満潮気味でしたが、それはそれで海のアクティビティを満喫できてよかったです。次はお天気のよい干潮時に挑戦してみたいです。
最後に、帰りの送迎バスに忘れ物をしてしまったのですが、現地の会社とドライバーの親切な対応でその日のうちに戻ってきました。感謝
他の海とはまた違った体験でした。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. I am very pleased to hear that despite the unfortunate weather on the day, you enjoyed the activities and created wonderful memories. We look forward to your participation in the tour again when you visit Hawaii. From all the KBOS staff.
この度はツアーへご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。当日はあいにくのお天気だったようですがアクティビティを満喫、楽しい思い出になったとお聞きし大変嬉しく思っております。またハワイにお越しの際にはツアーへのご参加をお待ちしております。 KBOS スタッフ一同

I was able to see many sea turtles. And, fortunately, I also saw dolphins, so it was the best day ever. The waves were calm, and it was a fortunate tour.
海亀がたくさん見れました。
そして、運良くイルカも見れたので、最高な1日でした。波も穏やかで運に恵まれたツアーでした。

Disappointed that we were Not at the real sand bar. We were to far away from it and the water level were too high to call it a sandbar. We were expecting to be able to stand at the sand bar.
The lunch provided was a disappointment.
What I really like was the staff, especially the guys helping with the kayaks and boat.
Mahalo for your review & kind words for our crew! We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed high tide & lunch. - Team KBOS

It was difficult to steer the ship due to the approaching typhoon, strong winds, and high waves. However, the atmosphere inside the boat was lively and enjoyable, and the staff were kind, which was great.
台風が近づいて風が強く波が高いのでシープの操縦が難しかった。ただ船の中は盛り上がり楽しくスタッフさんも親切で良かった。
Aloha! It seems that the weather on the day of your tour wasn't perfect, but we are very happy to hear that you enjoyed it. Thank you for participating. From all of us at KBOS.
