There's no guarantee that you'll definitely see dolphins, but I did.
First of all, it was tough getting up early, but there is a shuttle service to take you close to the departure point. There were quite a few Japanese people, and with a Japanese guide, I had nothing to worry about.
- Even if you usually don’t get seasick, I recommend taking motion sickness medication. I usually don’t get seasick, but even with medication, I felt nauseous towards the end. The boat sways so much that you can’t stand unless it’s anchored somewhere. The waves were high, and just floating in the water made me feel sick. There’s a toilet on the boat, so you can throw up without worrying about others (there are special bags available). They were selling motion sickness bands, but it seems to vary from person to person...
- If you can’t swim, don’t worry. I hadn’t swum in years and had no experience with snorkeling, so I was anxious, but they give you a briefing before swimming, and you wear a life jacket, so you definitely won’t sink. I felt very safe while snorkeling.
- It’s quite cold, so I think it’s better to rent a wetsuit. If you want to swim in a cute swimsuit, you’ll definitely need a cover-up and a towel.
- It was nice to have light snacks. They provided pineapple, snacks, and cheeseburgers to refresh your palate. For those who got seasick, the cheeseburger was a bit much, but they also give you a takeout bag. I got sick, so the pineapple and lemon water helped me.
- The crew performed a hula dance and were very lively, making it a fun and exciting experience.
I was able to see dolphins during my second snorkeling session. Since dolphins are fast, I found that sticking closely to the crew was key to seeing them. Swimming with a pod of dolphins was an indescribable experience. I even saw a baby dolphin. While watching from the boat, I saw them do spin jumps. I also caught a glimpse of a whale. It was moving to connect with nature.
After that, we moved to a snorkeling spot where we could freely play on slides and boats. There were turtles and lots of tropical fish.
I feel a bit guilty saying this, but if you board the boat last, you can sit towards the back. Being at the back means you get to enter the water first, so I was able to closely follow the crew and see the dolphins. There were some people who didn’t see any dolphins this time, but it really depends on timing.
You can’t take pictures with the dolphins or turtles; you need to keep your distance. It’s all about observing from afar. I did feel nauseous towards the end, but until then, I had a great time, so I have no complaints about this tour. All my anxieties were resolved, and I was able to participate! It was a safe, secure, and very enjoyable experience! If you’re considering joining, I highly recommend it! Just make sure to take precautions against motion sickness!
イルカに必ず会える保証はないですが、会えました。
まず早朝でしんどいですが近くまで送迎があります。結構日本人が多く、日本人ガイドもいて何も心配ありませんでした。
・普段酔わない方も酔い止め必須。普段酔いやすい私が酔い止めのんでも終盤吐きました。船がどこかにつかまらないと立っていられないくらい揺れます。波も高いので泳いで浮いてるだけでも酔いました。船にトイレもあるので人目を気にせずに吐けます(専用の袋があります)
酔い止めバンドを販売していましたが個人差があるみたいです…
・泳げない人でも大丈夫。何年も泳いだことない、シュノーケリング未経験な私は不安でしたが泳ぐ前にレクチャーしてくれるし、ライフジャケット着るので絶対に沈みません。とても安心してシュノーケリングできました。
・かなり寒いのでウェットスーツレンタルした方がいいと思います。可愛く水着で泳ぎたい方は上着とタオル必須です。
・軽食つきが有難い。お口直しのパイナップル、スナック、チーズバーガーが配られます。酔った人にチーズバーガーは追い討ちでしたがもちろんテイクアウト用の袋もくれます。私は酔ったのでパイナップル、レモンウォーターに助けられました。
・クルーがフラダンス披露してくれたり、ノリノリなのでとてもワクワク楽しいです。
イルカを2回目のシュノーケリングで見ることができました。イルカは早いのでしっかりクルーの先頭についていく事が見るコツかなぁと。群れで泳ぐイルカはなんとも言えない感動でした。子供のイルカもみれました。また船からもウォッチングしていたらスピンジャンプしてくれました。少しだけクジラも見ることができました。自然に触れられて感動です。
その後シュノーケリングする場所へ移動し、滑り台やボートなど自由に遊べます。カメもいましたし、熱帯魚がたくさんいました。
こんな事を書くとずるいですが、船に乗る時、最後にのると船の後ろらへんに座れます。後ろにいると海に入るのが先になるのでクルーにしっかりついていってイルカを見ることができました。今回はいませんでしたが、中には見れない人もいるみたいです。本当にタイミングです。
またイルカやカメと写真が撮れる、ということはないです。近寄ったりはダメなので。あくまでも遠くから見る、という感じです。
私は終盤によって吐きましたが、それまではとても楽しかったのでこのツアー文句ナシです。
私の不安も全部解消されて参加できました!安心、安全、とっても楽しい経験でした!
参加を検討されてる方、是非した方がいいですよ!
必ず酔い止め対策は誰でもしてくださいね!

The dolphins were slow to appear, and just as we were starting to feel discouraged, the cheerful hula dance by the crew got everyone excited, and then the dolphins showed up! We couldn't swim with them due to time constraints, but we were able to see many dolphins from the boat, including some jumping! It was a group of three ladies, and we had a great time with our first kayaking, waterslide, and snorkeling experience. One of us was worried about seasickness, but the anti-nausea bracelet we bought on the shuttle bus was very effective! The hamburgers for lunch were delicious, and the crew was kind and fun, making it an amazing experience. I would love to participate again when I go to Hawaii!
イルカがなかなか現れず、諦めムードのなか船上でクルーの陽気なフラダンスで盛り上がりはじめると、イルカ出現!時間的に一緒には泳げなかったけど、沢山のイルカが船上から見れました。ジャンプしているところも!おばさん3人組でしたが、初カヤック、滑り台、シュノーケリングとてもたのしかったです。1人船酔い心配でしたが送迎バスの中で買った酔い止めブレスレット効果的面!ランチのハンバーガーも美味しく、クルーのみなさんも親切で楽しく最高でした。また、ハワイに行ったら参加したいです。

It was an experience with professional hospitality. When I jumped off the large boat, I was excited to see dolphins and turtles swimming nearby and along the seabed. For snacks, we were served juicy beef patties in hamburgers, pineapple, snacks, and lemonade. I usually don't get seasick, but I felt a bit uneasy, so I didn't eat and took it back with me (there were some people who got sick). There was also a photographer on site who took pictures for us, which were available for purchase. I was a little anxious about snorkeling for the first time, but I had no worries and enjoyed it. I'm glad I participated and I recommend it.

I participated in late November.
I think there are seasonal issues, but the waves were strong and the current was fast, causing many people to get seasick.
I saw that the boat is new and large, which supposedly makes it less shaky, but don't get your hopes up. The boat rocked, and after going into the rough sea with waves and strong currents two or three times, it really drained my energy and made me more prone to seasickness! For those participating, if you determine that the current is strong, I think it's better to just float and look down rather than trying to swim. Even if you're confident in your swimming skills, it's not just about that. Please be careful not to overestimate your abilities.
I was able to see dolphins both on the boat and in the water, but that's purely a matter of luck. I've seen promotional photos where many dolphins come close, but you shouldn't expect that. I think many people only catch a glimpse of them from a distance.
If you're just looking to see dolphins, there are other places where you can see and interact with them. You can also go snorkeling in beautiful, calm waters elsewhere. Unless you really want to see wild dolphins, I wouldn't particularly recommend this experience.
11月下旬に参加。
時期的な問題もあると思うが波があり潮の流れも早く、
多くの方が船酔いしていました。
船が新しく大きいから揺れにくいというのを見たけど
期待してはいけません。
船上で揺れた上、波があり潮がキツイ海に2度、3度入るとかなりの体力を消耗し、酔いやすくなります!
参加される方は、潮がキツイと判断したらただ浮いて下を見て浮いてるくらいに留めておいた方がいいかと思います。
泳ぎには自信があってもそういう問題ではないのだなと感じました。とにかく過信しないようにして下さい。
船上でも海中でもイルカを見れましたがこればかりは運です。プロモーションで多くのイルカが近くに寄ってきている写真を見ますがこれは期待してはいけません。かなり遠くで一瞬見れただけという人も多いと思います。
イルカだけなら他にも見れますし、触れ合える場所もあります。綺麗で穏やかな海でシュノーケリングも他で出来ます。
野生のイルカをとにかく見たい!という方以外には特にオススメするものでもないかなあ

At the end, they even put stickers on my favorite parts of my body. ^_^

On the last day of our trip, we searched for activities near Waikiki and made a reservation the day before. The other participants were mostly foreigners, and there were no explanations in Japanese, but we managed to follow along. About 10 minutes after departure, snorkeling began. There weren't many fish, but we saw three sea turtles. The ocean was surprisingly beautiful. After that, we enjoyed sailing and took in views of Diamond Head and Waikiki from the sea. We had a lot more fun than we expected, even near Waikiki!
旅行最終日にワイキキ近くでできるアクティビティを探して前日申込みました。

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 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.

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。

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!

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.

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。

We participated with our 6-year-old and 9-year-old children. It was their first time snorkeling, and it was only my second time since our honeymoon. We considered various Hanauma Bay tours and snorkeling by boat, but we chose this one because of its high ratings. Since it was just the four of us that day, our 6-year-old was taken out to the ocean, and we even got to see a honu! It was so lucky that it came up for air while we were watching it sleep. After a long time away from the ocean, I struggled with breathing through my mouth for an hour, but we had a special experience as a family! Before we went out, we debated whether we would see dolphins or turtles, but as beginners, we were glad we chose this. We became big fans of the turtles and bought a turtle plushie to take home. We also had many photos taken! Thank you very much.
6歳と9歳の子供連れて参加しました。子供達は初シュノーケリング、親も新婚旅行以来の二回目です。 色んなハナウマ湾ツアー、船に乗ってのシュノーケリングと迷いましたが、評価が高かったのでこちらにさせていただきました。 この日は私達四人だけということもあり、6歳の次男も沖まで連れていってくれて、ホヌにも会えました! しかも寝てた所を息継ぎをしに上まで上がってきてくれたり、とてもラッキーでした。 久しぶりの海、一時間口呼吸で必死でしたが(私が)、家族で特別な経験をさせてもらいました! 出かける前はイルカか?カメか??と散々悩みましたが、初心者の私達はこちらにして良かったです。すっかりカメちゃんファンになってウミガメのぬいぐるみをかって帰国しました。
写真も沢山撮っていただきました!ありがとうございました。
Kyoko, thank you for bringing your family on the tour. It was lucky that you had a private snorkeling experience with just the four of you, without any other customers. There are various snorkeling tours in Hawaii, but for those who are completely new, practicing breathing in a spot where you can stand is much easier and provides a sense of security, so I recommend beach entry. Once you have that experience, I believe the second time will be much easier, so please try boat snorkeling next time. The sea turtles at Hanauma Bay were small and very cute. I hope you all will consider repeating the experience when you come back to Hawaii. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
キョウコ様、この度はご家族様でツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。他のお客様がいない4人だけの貸切シュノーケリングでラッキーでしたね。ハワイには色々なシュノーケリングツアーがありますが、全く初めての方は自分の足で立てる所で呼吸の練習をして頂く方が水に慣れやすく安心感は違いますのでビーチエントリーはオススメです。1度経験をしていただきますと2回目はものすごく楽にできると思いますので、次はお船のシュノーケリングにも挑戦してみてください。ハナウマ湾のウミガメは小さめでとても可愛かったですね。またハワイにお越しの際には皆さんでリピートしていただけたらと思っております。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

I participated at my sister's request to see dolphins!
We had an early departure, so I was very sleepy, but the kind and cool staff, along with the sweet and lovely team, made the time on the boat enjoyable.
We were able to swim with both dolphins and turtles safely!
It became a wonderful memory.
Thank you so much.
I am truly grateful to all the staff led by Shota.
If there’s another opportunity, I would appreciate it.
The pineapple we ate together after coming back from the sea and the warm drinks were also very delightful.
イルカに逢いたいという妹の希望で、
参加しました!
朝早い出発で、とても眠かったですが
優しくてカッコいいスタッフさんと
優しくて可愛いスタッフさん方が、

On the last day, I joined this tour to find a place to play in Honolulu in the morning. We took a boat from downtown Honolulu to a spot that wasn't too far away. Honestly, I thought it was a bit too close, but I was able to see at least three sea turtles! The water was a bit deep, so it wasn't incredibly clear, but the sea turtles were golden and divine! Moreover, I was able to see them come up to the surface for air, and at that moment, I was truly moved to be swimming so close to the sea turtles!
The cruising after snorkeling was just a slow ride around near Honolulu, so it wasn't particularly exciting, but I was very satisfied because I got to see the sea turtles!
最終日、午前中にホノルルで遊べるところを探してこのツアーに参加しました。ホノルルの中心部から船に乗って、それほど離れていないところまで移動、正直近すぎるポイントだなと思いましたが、ウミガメが少なくとも3頭見れました!少し水深は深いところなので海がめちゃめちゃキレイというわけではないのですが、ウミガメは金色で神々しい!しかも息継ぎに海面に顔を出すところまで見れて、その時にはほんとに間近でウミガメと泳ぐことが出来て感動です!
シュノーケリングした後のクルージングは、ホノルル近くをゆっくり走行しただけなので、それほど楽しいこともなかったのですが、ウミガメを見れたので大満足です!
