Hanauma Bay Snorkel Tour with Expert Guide & Waikiki Transportation

Fun!

Reviewed by: LEB

Such a great experience! I'm not a strong swimmer, but the guides went the perfect pace for people of all strengths. They start by teaching you how to use the snorkel equipment, then you follow one of the guides around to see all the reefs and the fish. It was fun, easy and the perfect addition to a trip on Oahu!

Great Experience

Reviewed by: danaj

What a great snorkeling experience!! Although we had snorkeled before (quite a few years ago), my husband was not able to complete the adventure even though Chieko tried to pull the 2 of us around. So, my husband went back to land and Chieko pulled me around (I just had to relax and enjoy). We saw so many & beautiful fish. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Reviewed by: まゆごん

I was nervous until we set sail, but as soon as all eight of us came out of the water, we all exclaimed "Amazing!" The staff guided us to the turtles and took videos and photos for us. The pictures and videos were truly beautiful, and for just $135, they can be sent to the representative's computer for sharing! It makes for a great keepsake. You might want to bring motion sickness medication.

出航するまでは緊張でしたが、8人全員海から上がってくるなり「最高」の一言!
スタッフが亀の所まで誘導してくれたり、ビデオや写真を撮ってくれました。その写真やビデオが本当にきれいで何人でも$135払えば代表者のパソコンに送られ拡散OK!良い記念になります。

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>

An emotional experience! 感動の体験!

Reviewed by: Aloooha

It was my first time snorkeling, and the instructions were very thorough, allowing me to get used to it quickly! In the clear sea, I was able to see many fish, making it an incredible experience. During the transfer, the guide shared insights about the town, making for a fulfilling tour. While some people swam without renting a wetsuit, I found it warm and it provided extra buoyancy, so for someone like me who wasn't confident in swimming, it was the right choice to rent one.

初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、丁寧に説明してくださり、すぐに慣れることができました!透き通った海ではたくさんの魚を見ることが出来、感動的な体験となりました。送迎中も街並みを見ながらガイドしていただき、充実したツアーでした。ウェットスーツは借りずに泳がれている方ももちろんいましたが、温かく、浮力も増すため、泳ぎに自信が無かった私は、借りて正解でした。

Reply from activity provider

Thank you for joining the tour with Blue Hawaii Divers. Having a wetsuit makes snorkeling incredibly easy for customers who are not confident in swimming! I always wear one to prevent sunburn as well. Please come back for another tour when you visit Hawaii again. We look forward to seeing you again. Thank you. Mahalo!!

この度はブルーハワイダイバースのツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。ウェットスーツがあると泳ぎに自信のないお客様にはシュノーケルがものすごく楽チンになりますね!私も日焼け防止も兼ねて、いつも着ています。是非またハワイにお越しの際にはツアーに来てくださいね。またお会いできるのをお待ちしております。

BOB's Hawaii Underwater Scooter Adventure & Turtle Watching Tour

Beautiful Experience

Reviewed by: Phanesh

You are super close to the fishes under the water and you can see a lot of variety of them and I even saw 4 turtles from a close distance.
The staff are very friendly and gives you good guidance on every step of the activity.
The only drawback is the time underwater was only 15 minutes and when you are which flew by very quickly.

Note: You don't need to know how to swim to do this activity.

Excellent

Reviewed by: Norma

We loved our time on the snorkeling and dinner cruise excursion. Well worth the price. Our captain gave great instruction and safety procedures. He also took us up snd close to a whale which gave us quite a show within 25 yards or so. The time by the shore snorkeling was impressive. Lots of fish.
The dinner was delicious with plenty of variety of drinks both spirited and not. I enjoyed the time to enjoy the sunset. Beautiful. There are two restrooms where you can change. Two shower hoses to rinse off after you snorkel. Staff was great. Underwater photographer was along for optional photo package you can purchase.

The trip was a lot of fun. The crew was great and fun to enteract with throughout the day. The only downside was the dolphins were not participating that day.

We did get to swim with the turtles and snorkle in beautiful waters. The crew was very energetic and the photo package was definately worth the money. I was happy to get the great shots of me and my son playing in the water. A big thanks to Melissa.

I participate every time I travel to Hawaii. ハワイへ渡航する度に参加します

Reviewed by: ScarlettO'Hara

This is my fourth time, and I am impressed that each time the experience has been upgraded.

Swimming with the dolphins feels like an interaction, but with Dolphin & You, you swim freely in the vast ocean alongside dolphins that are swimming leisurely in groups, and I felt as if I received a mysterious power from them.

My 5-year-old grandchild was crying but was happy to say, "I saw a dolphin."

Also, I was delighted to reunite with Kaia, a staff member I met nine years ago. Thank you, Kaia.

今回で4回目。毎回内容がアップグレードしてて感動しています。

飼育されているイルカと一緒に泳ぐのは「ふれあい」のような感じですが、ドルフィン&Youは、群れてゆったりと自由に泳いでるイルカと一緒に大海原で泳ぎ、イルカから不思議なパワーがもらえた気持ちになります。

5歳の孫も泣きながらですが「イルカが見えた」と喜んでくれました。

そして、9年前に参加した時のスタッフのカイアに再会できて嬉しかったです。『カイア』ありがとう。

Adventures In Sea Sickness

Reviewed by: DLineen

I know it's just the luck of the draw and bad timing but 5 or 6 people got sick on our trip due to high waves. Maybe cancelling the trip would have been best because after all that, the provided meal was not at all appetizing. Yes we saw a couple green sea turtles, but it would have been much, much better without the fear of human projectile.

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>

It was an experience where I could feel the growth of my child! 子供の成長も感じられた体験になりました!

Reviewed by: ともこ

The couple who are instructors worked together seamlessly. First, they took photos after we arrived at Hanauma Bay, and then we chose our fins. We rented wetsuits to prevent scratches from the coral and because the seawater was cold, which turned out to be a great decision! Thanks to this, both my child and I were able to enjoy snorkeling comfortably. I absolutely recommend it for sunburn prevention as well.

Before entering the water, they explained how to use the mask and snorkel in a very easy-to-understand way, and after we got in, they taught us how to move, which allowed my 6-year-old son to enjoy himself without any issues. They also took many underwater photos, creating wonderful memories for us!

After swimming, they prepared snacks and water for us, and we were grateful for it as we were craving hydration and salt! I would love to participate again when we visit Hawaii! Thank you very much!

ご夫婦でインストラクターをされているとのことで、息のあったお二人が担当して下さいました。
まずハナウマ湾に到着してから写真を撮ってくださり、その後足ヒレを選びました。
海水が冷たいこと、珊瑚での擦り傷防止にウエットスーツをレンタルしましたが、これは大正解でした!
このお陰で親子共々快適にシュノーケリング出来たと思います。
日焼け防止の為にも絶対にオススメです。
水に入る前に、とても分かりやすくマスクとシュノーケルの使い方を説明していただき、水に入ってからも動き方を教えてくださったお陰で、6歳の息子も問題なく楽しむことができました。
また水中写真も沢山撮ってくださって、とても素敵な想い出になりました♪
泳ぎ終わったあと、スナックとお水を用意してくださっていて、水分&塩分を欲していた私たちはありがたくいただきました!
またハワイに行ったらぜひ参加させていただきたいです(^^)
ありがとうございました!

Thank you for bringing your whole family this time. On that afternoon trip, out of the 10 guests, 4 were children (under 10 years old), so I explained things in simpler terms than usual and extended the practice a bit. All the kids did their best and swam together with their buddies until the end. They were really great! Please do come back when you're in Hawaii again. I look forward to seeing you all again!! Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

この度はご家族皆様で来ていただき、ありがとうございます。この日の午後便はお客様10名中4人がお子様(10歳以下)と言う日でしたので、いつもより簡単な言葉で説明させていただき、練習もちょっと長めにさせていただきました。どの子も皆さん頑張ってくれて、ちゃんとバディ同士で最後まで泳いでくれましたね。本当に上手でしたよ。是非またハワイにお越しの際にはリピートしてください。またお会いできるのを楽しみに待っております!!

Reviewed by: aya

It was a tour to swim with dolphins, but unfortunately, we didn't get to see any dolphins. However, they took us far to search for them, which is not a usual route, and they entertained us with dances, so we didn't feel bored at all.

During snorkeling, we got to see a sea turtle! Although we couldn't swim together, we were able to see dolphins up close, which is a rare sight.

For me, the highlight was that the captain let me sit in the driver's seat; I was truly happy to have such a precious experience! ❤️

On the way back, since we couldn't swim with the dolphins, they gave us a half-price voucher and shared a video taken with a drone, showing the staff's wonderful consideration. Thank you very much!

イルカと泳ぐツアーでしたが、残念ながらイルカと会えなかったんです。でもいつもは行かない遠いところまで探しに行ってくれたり、ダンスをして楽しませてくれたりと退屈せずに過ごせました。
シュノーケリングでは、ウミガメさんに会えました!そして、一緒に泳ぐことはできないけれど、滅多に見れないイルカを間近でも見れました。
わたしにとっては何より、船長さんが操縦席に座らせてくれたこと、こんな貴重な体験ができるなんて本当に幸せでした!❤️

帰りのバスでは、イルカと泳げなかったので半額になるバウチャーをくれたり、ドローンで撮影した動画をくれたりと本当にスタッフさんの気配りが素敵でした。

Hanauma Bay Snorkel Tour with Expert Guide & Waikiki Transportation

Absolutely Fabulous Experience

Reviewed by: LATOYAYE

This was our first experience with snorkeling...but I was convinced that we could not go to Oahu and not see the ocean life for ourselves. Dan and Cheiko were great.

We paid for a group of 5 (3 adult, 2 children). We had to pay the full price to have my grandmother brought along, even though she was not participating. With that said it was suppose to be just our small group to the two guides. This was especially important to me as the two children could swim and the adults in our group could NOT swim well. It turned out two others joined us, so Chieko was mostly their guide and Dan was with the four of us. It was raining that day, so my grandmother was not able to come observe (so paid and not used). Although I was not expecting a refund for her experience necessarily, I was a little put off that we were then charged extra for the optional wet suits to keep us warm (given the weather that day). That really is the only thing I would improve, but given the nature of the business, that may be challenging.

Otherwise, it was FANTASTIC! Dan was amazingly patient and made the experience great. The children, although swimmers, panicked with the snorkel equipment and sea animals. The adult limited swimmers had a blast! Even on a dreary, rainy day. LOL! they took awesome pictures that we were easily able to download from their social media page, so one less thing to worry about doing especially given first time out. I would definitely recommend this experience no matter what skill level, it will not disappoint.
