ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング　ベテラン日本語ガイドがご案内する少人数制ツアー　貸切プランあり＜半日/水中写真付き＞

It was a beautiful Hanauma! 綺麗なハナウマでした！

Reviewed by: ゆきぴ

The Japanese guide provided a thorough explanation, which made me feel at ease throughout the experience. I was also satisfied with the many photos taken. It seems that the snorkeling route changes depending on the tides, so those planning to go in the future might want to research it in advance.

日本語ガイドさんが丁寧に説明してくださったので終始安心でした。写真もたくさんとってくださって満足しました。潮の満ち引きによってシュノーケルのルートが変わるそうなので、これから行く方は事前に調べておくのもいいかもしれません。

Kaneohe Sandbar Tour with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Hawaiian Music - Kaneohe Bay Ocean Sports

So much fun!

Reviewed by: Mike

From the moment we boarded the boat, we were provided a delicious lunch and greeted with the friendly staff and hilarious emcee.

The live Hawaiian music created an ambience of enchantment. The live performances were sensational, perfectly capturing the spirit of the islands.

The variety of water activities was truly impressive. Snorkeling provided us a stunning glimpse into the vibrant marine life, while the sandbar volleyball turned out to be an unexpected delight. I was personally taken with standup paddle boarding (SUP) and kayaking - both were exhilarating experiences that offered different perspectives of the water.

Not to forget the floating lounge platform! It was the perfect place to unwind, enjoy our drinks and snacks, and simply soak in the beauty of the surroundings. Everything was wonderfully organized and the boat was equipped with all the necessary amenities.

In short, this activity was more than just a day out on the water; it was a vibrant blend of culture, excitement, and relaxation. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable Hawaiian adventure. Five stars are simply not enough!

I achieved my long-held wish. 念願叶いました

Reviewed by: たけうち

We participated as a couple. The transportation, local guide, and snorkeling instructions were all provided in careful Japanese, which was very helpful. It was difficult to get there since you can't take the trolley from Waikiki, and the bus requires transfers, so I was quite anxious about it, but this tour with a guide completely alleviated those concerns. The drive included information about Hawaii, and upon arrival, the guide was always ahead of us to provide guidance. Both of us were very satisfied. Thank you very much.

夫婦で参加しました。送迎から現地ガイド、シュノーケリングのご指導やポイントなど、丁寧に日本語で教えて下さり、助かりました。
ワイキキからトロリーでは行けないし、バスは乗り換えが必要だし、とにかく行きにくいし不安でしたが、ガイドさん付のこのツアーで完全にその不安は解消しました。
道中もハワイ情報交えながらのドライブ感覚、到着後も常に先回りしてもらって案内。夫婦とも大変満足しました。ありがとうございました。

The staff was super friendly, engaging, and really went out of their way to ensure everyone had a good time. The boat is pretty spacious so there’s plenty of shade when you need a break from the sun. Plus you can’t go wrong with live music! Not sure if any other tours offer that! We will definitely be booking again :).

It's just beautiful! This is the ocean of Hawaii!! とにかくキレイ！これぞハワイの海！！

Reviewed by: MOMO

I went snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding at a sandbar that I had always wanted to visit! First, I was picked up by a van from a nearby hotel for an extra fee, and it took about 30 minutes to reach the port. (There were about 15 people on board, and since I was the last to get on, that was about the time it took.)

When we arrived at the port, there were restrooms available, so I took care of that and signed some documents while receiving explanations. There were also restrooms on the boat, with two for women and one for men. There was one Japanese woman and a man who spoke Japanese (with a Kansai dialect) on board.

Once on the boat, two men played guitar and ukulele to liven up the atmosphere! (When we returned to the boat during a break, they played music through the speakers, and I requested a song, which they played.)

I tried stand-up paddleboarding for the first time, but because it was windy, it felt more like I was being swept away than paddling! However, when the wind died down, I was able to move forward, and it was fun! I had to paddle hard to stay behind the red buoy, but I wasn't making much progress, and seeing that, the man who spoke Japanese (with a Kansai dialect) helped pull me along.

When we got close to the coral reef for snorkeling, the staff handed out what looked like French bread, and when I tore it apart in the water, a lot of fish came out to see it! There were also small, beautiful fish near the coral, but when I went to a spot near the boat that was about waist-high, I was able to see many large fish, almost a meter long! When I asked the staff, they said it was a white fish and that it would be delicious to eat.

Unfortunately, I didn't see any sea turtles, but I’ll look forward to that next time. I participated in early May, and when I got out of the water, it was a bit chilly. I regretted not bringing a change of clothes, just a bath towel, so it would have been nice to have something easy to put on, like a dress. The weather was good, and overall, it was a great tour!

いつか行ってみたいなと思っていたサンドバーでシュノーケリングとSUPをしてきました！
まず、別料金ですが近くのホテルまでバンで迎えに来てもらい港まで30分ぐらいで着きました！
(15人ぐらい乗っていたかな？1番最後に乗ったのでそれぐらいの時間でした)
港に着くと、トイレがあるので済ませておき、書類にサインなどして説明を受けました。
トイレは船の中にもあり、女性用2つ男性用1つありました。
日本人の女性が1人と日本語を喋れる男性(関西弁笑)が1人いました。
船に乗ると、男性2人がギターとウクレレで演奏して盛り上げてました！
(休憩で船に戻った時に、スピーカーで音楽をかけられていたので曲をリクエストしたらかけてくれました)
初めてSUPに挑戦しましたが、風が吹いていた為漕ぐよりも流されるに近いかんじでした笑
ただ、風が止むとしっかり進むので楽しかったです！
赤い浮きより先に行ってはいけなかったので、頑張って漕いでましたがなかなか進まず、それを見かねた日本語を喋れる男性(関西弁)が引っ張って助けてくれました笑
シュノーケリングは珊瑚礁の近くに行くと、スタッフの方がフランスパン？を渡してくれて、それを海の中でちぎると魚達が出てきてたくさん見る事が出来ました！
あと珊瑚礁の方には小さいキレイな魚がいましたが、船の近くの方の腰より高いぐらいの所に行き餌をやっていると1m弱ぐらいのとても大きい魚もたくさん見る事が出来ました！
スタッフの方に聞くと、白身の魚で食べたら美味しいそうです笑
残念ながらウミガメは見ることが出来なかったですが、また次回の楽しみにしておきます
5月上旬に参加しましたが、海からあがると肌寒く、着替えは持って来ずにバスタオルのみだったのでワンピースなど簡単に着れる着替えがあったらよかったと後悔しました。
天気も良くて全体的に良いツアーでした！

First snorkeling experience 初めてのシュノーケリング体験

Reviewed by: カイル

We participated in our first snorkeling experience as a couple. The tour started at 12 PM with 9 participants and 2 instructors (Chieko and Dan). The weather was clear and sunny. We were able to swim for a full hour in deep water due to high tide. They also took photos underwater, which created great memories.

My wife was worried because she is not a strong swimmer, but Chieko held her hand while she got used to it and always made sure to check on her when they separated. Towards the end, when my wife wanted to return early due to fatigue, Chieko guided her back to the shore properly.

I actually started to feel seasick midway through, but for those who are not used to it or feel anxious, it seems advisable to take motion sickness medication as mentioned in the items to bring.

Our first snorkeling experience was very enjoyable and felt like a new world. Both instructors were very kind, and we were extremely satisfied with the tour. Thank you!

初めてのシュノーケリングを夫婦で参加しました。
12時スタートのツアーで参加者は9人、インストラクターは2名（チエコさん、ダンさん）でした。天気は快晴。満潮で深いところまで行けて1時間たっぷり泳ぐことができました。水中では撮影もしていただけていい思い出が残りました。
妻は水泳が得意ではなく心配していましたが、慣れないうちはチエコさんがずっと手を取って泳いでくださり、離れる時にも必ず声をかけてくださいました。終盤に体力が持たず先に戻りたい旨を伝えると、また手を取って浜辺まできちんと誘導してくださいました。
実は私は中盤から波酔いをしてしまったのですが、慣れない方や不安な方は持ち物の中にも書いてあるように事前に酔い止め薬をのむと良さそうです。
初めてのシュノーケリングはとても楽しく新世界でした。インタストラクターのお二方もとても親切で、とても満足なツアーでした。ありがとうございました！

After the COVID restrictions were lifted, I finally got to visit Hanauma Bay. However, since the days for entering Hanauma Bay are still limited, making a reservation individually can be quite challenging. Fortunately, there are tours that offer entry reservations for Hanauma Bay, along with transportation, which is reassuring. The guide was very kind, and there were no particular issues from preparation to snorkeling to cleanup. During snorkeling, they took us to the appropriate snorkeling points by observing the tides. While snorkeling, they kept an eye on us to ensure we didn't get separated, and they provided support when we fell behind our group. I believe this is a tour that even beginners can participate in with confidence.

コロナ規制があけて、やっとハナウマ湾にいけました。
でも、まだハナウマ湾に入れる曜日が限定されているため、個人で入場予約をするのはかなり大変です。
しかし、なかなかとれないハナウマ湾の入場予約もツアーが実施してくれて、かつ、送迎もしてくれるので安心です。
ガイドの方は、とても親切で、準備～シュノーケル～片付けまで特に困ることはありませんでした。
シュノーケルの際は、潮の満ち引きを見て、適切なシュノーケルポイントに連れて行ってくれます。
シュノーケルの最中は、はぐれないように、見ていてくれて、仲間から遅れた時には、サポートしてくれました。
シュノーケル初心者でも安心して参加できるツアーだとと思います。

Most unbelievably fun experience ever

Reviewed by: Jim

I was very excited for this event and it actually far exceeded my expectations. The ride to the sand bar was pretty quick however I wish it was longer because they had an amaaaazing live band. Kaawa Entertainment. I could listen to them forever. Unfortunately, we reached our destination, and I could no longer listen to them. However, playing in the sandbar was soooo much fun. I thoroughly enjoyed the kayaking and paddle boarding. They also had snorkeling which I didn't enjoy as much. But my wife really loved the snorkeling. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. My wife and I both had trouble steering the paddle board initially and we were out of bounds. But the staff was very nice about it and helped us back in bounds. The sandbar is so amazing where you're in the middle of the ocean yet you are walking on sand. There were no waves so it was pretty easy to maneuver around. I could've stayed there for hours longer but the event was over. 10 stars out of 5. If you go please tip the staff and entertainment a looot. They really made the experience sooo much more fun. Highlight of our 8 day trip to Hawaii.

Group of 6 with young kids and my parents in their 70s. We arrived at 845 for a 9am departure. Signed waivers and bought stuff at the harbor- really nice store with snacks, beer, sodas. Didn’t depart till 915 so I felt a little robbed for our time at the sand bar. Which is my only complaint because we wanted to soak up every minute. All the activities advertised were there. Live band was fun. Morning Donuts were huge. Water and juice was nice. The drive there and back was smooth. Staff was very nice. My 3 year old wanted to “help” during clean up but was more in the way and the staff was very chill. They offered snacks when they saw he was sad to be leaving. We will definitely consider coming back for the longer and catered afternoon tour. Thanks.

Hanauma, snorkeling ハナウマ、シュノーケル

Reviewed by: 船橋元ダイバー

This was an experience under the clear sky that truly felt like a Hawaiian beach. I added a wetsuit to my equipment rental and was fully prepared with my own gloves. The high tide allowed for sufficient water depth, so the fish were coming out from the rocks. The large size of the fish may be due to the thorough management of the reef. I was able to see a small turtle, possibly carried by the current. To be honest, the waves were high, visibility was low, and it turned into a challenging snorkeling experience due to seasickness and physical exhaustion, but that’s just the luck of the draw. I hope for better conditions next time.

これぞ、ハワイビーチと言う晴天下の体験でした。機材レンタルにウェットを追加して、持参の軍手をして準備は万全。
満ち潮で水深が確保出来ていたので、魚達も磯から出て来ていました。魚体が大きいのはリーフの管理が徹底出来ているからでしょうか。潮に流されてか小亀を観ることが出来ました。正直、波が高く、視界は低く、波酔いと体力消耗するハードなシュノーケルとなってしまいましたが、こればかりはツキ次第。次回に期待したいと思います。
