Nice Excursion- took their shuttle from Waikiki (extra fee) which took about 40 min because had 3 other hotel stops. Boat to Sandvar was about 10 min, lunch was tasty, music on boat was terrific and added ambiance. Was a cloudy day and even rained but even though chilly and not ideal was fun to have the opportunity to canoe ride, paddle board and snorkel in one area and one fee. Banana boat and tube ride (right at arrival to sandbar) was SUPER fun, lasted about 5 min each. Felt it should be longer for price per person. Overall was a nice afternoon experience, for cost though would say unless you do all of the activities it’s pricey. Staff was professional and friendly.

I couldn't see the pure white island, but I enjoyed snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding (though the strong winds made it less elegant). The live music was surprisingly good, adding to the tropical atmosphere.
真っ白な島は、見れませんでしたが、シュノーケリングしたり、SAPしたり、楽しめました。(ただし風が強くて、優雅なSAPとはいきませんでしたが)
思いのほか、生演奏が良かったです。南国ムードましましでした。

I went without a shuttle, but I was able to get there with just one bus from in front of Ala Moana! The return bus took a while to arrive, so I spent some time at the nearby beach, but it came in about 30 minutes! The experience itself was great, as there was a guide who spoke Japanese, which made me feel very at ease! I also got to see sea turtles!
送迎なしで行きましたがアラモアナの前から1本のバスで行けました!
帰りのバスがなかなか来なかった為、近くの海で時間潰しをしましたが30分ほどで来ました!
体験自体も日本語が話せるガイドさんがいてすごく安心しました!
ウミガメも見れました!

Normally, you need to reserve tickets individually two days before the desired date, but considering the risks of not being able to secure them and the travel involved, I applied for this tour. During the summer vacation period, if you go for the morning session, there can be long traffic jams due to people hoping to buy same-day tickets. If I had gone individually, there would have been many confusing situations, so I’m really glad I went on the tour. Since it was in the morning, the water temperature was low, and I rented a wetsuit for $10. Thanks to that, even someone like me who gets cold easily was able to enjoy the experience fully. I didn’t see any sea turtles, but it was sunny with high visibility, and I was able to see a lot of fish, which was great. The guide was very knowledgeable, and the smooth guidance provided a sense of security, which was very good.
本来であれば参加希望日2日前に個人でチケット予約しなければいけないのですが、うまく取れないリスクや移動のことも考えこちらを申込ました。
夏休みの時期は午前の部の場合ですと当日券目当てに長い渋滞が発生します。
個人でもし行っていたら色々混乱しそうな場面が多かったのでツアーで行って本当に良かったです。
午前ということもあり水温は低く、10ドルのスーツをレンタルしました。おかげさまで寒がりの私でもフルで楽しめました。
海ガメは見れませんでしたが晴れていて透明度が高く、魚がたくさん見れて良かったです。
ガイドさんの知識が豊富なのと案内がスムーズで安心感がありとても良かったです。

This was a great experience for our family. The banana boat and bumper ride was a fun time and I’d recommend for families to do together. We all had time to use the paddle boards and kayaks as well as try our hand at snorkelling. The crew was super friendly, informative and attentive while we were getting to the sandbar and throughout the activity. Snorkelling is limited to small fish amongst the reefs but great for novice snorkelers. Highly recommend this excellent excursion!

Five years ago, when I went to Waianae to snorkel, I didn't have fins, and it was difficult to return to the boat. However, this time I had fins, so I was able to enjoy seeing fish and sea turtles up close. Additionally, I was lucky enough to encounter dolphins!
The best part is that you can board from a hotel in Waikiki, which makes good use of your time. However, there is no Japanese guide, so it would be great if you could go with someone who understands English. I was with my daughter, which was helpful. I think it would be nice to have a sign with the same explanations even without a guide.
5年前に、ワイアナエまで行きシュノーケルしたときはフィンがなく
船まで戻るのが大変でしたが、こちらはフィンがあったので、とても楽しく魚やウミガメを近くでみることができました。
さらにラッキーなことにイルカにも遭遇しました!
何よりワイキキのホテルから乗船できるので時間が有効につかえますよ。
ただ、日本語ガイドさんはいないので英語がわかる人と行けるといいですね。娘と一緒だったので助かりましたが。
ガイドさんがいなくても、同じ内容の説明プラカードがあればいいのに、と思います。

Here are all the pros:
Pick up and drop off from Waikiki available

Paddle board and kayak use included
Nice sun deck set up

Great music for the trip to and from
Overall, excellent experience and I’m glad I didn’t miss it.

Just considering the line of cars waiting from early morning and the queue for entry, you can already see the value of the tour. There’s no competition for reservations, making it easy to plan. Additionally, there are some insider tips, and the specialists share insights about the highlights and features of Hanauma Bay that we would never discover or experience on our own. For those who are familiar with Hanauma Bay and may visit multiple times in the future, I highly recommend experiencing this at least once. The ocean is truly wonderful, as are the two of you. Until we meet again, mahalo.
早朝から順番待ちの車の列と、入園待ちの列を考えたら、それだけでもツアーの価値が分かります。予約争奪戦も有りませんので、予定が立てやすい。更に裏ワザがちらほらあり、見どころスポやハナウマ湾の特徴などの、スペシャリストだから知る物を教えて下さり、私たちだけ頑張っても決して分からない、体験出来ない経験です。ハナウマ湾へ行きなれた、これからも複数回行くかも知れない人は、1度体験をオススメします。とても素晴らしい海とお二人です。またお会いする日までマハロ

On the round-trip boat, there was a lively atmosphere with live music. While playing with the SPU and canoe, the staff amusingly helped pull us back when we were about to drift out of the safe zone, allowing us to enjoy ourselves with peace of mind. During snorkeling, we were given food to attract the colorful tropical fish, and we were able to enjoy the beautiful waters of Hawaii.
往復の船の中では、雰囲気満点の生演奏。
SPUやカヌーで遊んでいて、風で安全区域から出そうになると係の方々が面白おかしく、引き戻し助けてくださり、安心して遊ぶ事ができました。

I cannot express how grateful I am for Dan and this snorkel tour! My son is autistic and was struggling with understanding the equipment and started to panic. Dan very calmly and kindly took him under his wing. Before we knew it, my son was the leader of the pack! I even got a little seasick and Dan (without judgment) helped me back to the beach to rest. He also picked us up at our hotel and was so easy to talk to and open to any questions we had. I would 100% do this tour again! Thanks Dan!
Thanks, Beth! Hope we see you again.

I had fun doing kayaking, SUP, and snorkeling. My niece was a little afraid but the lifeguard on duty was so nice. She even left her use the lifeguard belt thingy. Also the guy who was watching out for everyone who strayed too far past the yellow border for SUP was amazing. Sorry we couldn’t get the hang of it! Go earlier the better. The tide is lower. Consider this when thinking of what you’d like to do.

It was a tour in March, but the response from the Japanese staff on board, especially their commanding tone and seemingly angry way of speaking, was not acceptable. While I understand that the weather and sea temperature are beyond control, I regret paying the price for this level of service. I often use overseas tours, but I felt a significant difference in quality this time.
3月のツアーでしたが、船上の日本人スタッフの対応、特に命令調な言い方や怒ったような言い方が納得行くものではなかったです。天気や海水温は仕方ありませんが、この対応はそれなりの料金を払ったことに後悔しています。良く海外ツアーは利用しますが、当たりハズレの差を感じました。
