All Reviews for Hanauma Bay Snorkeling Tours

I participated in this highly-rated snorkeling tour at Hanauma Bay, among several options available. I had some previous snorkeling experience, but I wanted to join a properly guided tour. Early in the morning, our guide Dan picked us up from the hotel and we headed to Hanauma Bay.

Initially, I wasn't planning to rent a wetsuit, but after receiving explanations about injury prevention and increased buoyancy, I decided to rent one. It was my first time wearing a wetsuit, and I highly recommend it! Hanauma Bay has deep areas, but we also swam in shallow rocky spots. If I hadn't worn the wetsuit, my legs might have been covered in cuts… (*^^*)

Guides Dan and Chieko took us to a spot with plenty of fish. I don't think we would have encountered so many fish on our own. Before I knew it, we had been swimming for nearly an hour, which was surprising! I think I'm going to become hooked on snorkeling.

Thank you, Dan and Chieko! I would love to join again!

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリングツアーはいくつかありましたが、高評価のこのツアーに参加しました。以前、ちょっとしたシュノーケルは体験済みでしたが、きちんとガイド付きのツアーに参加したくて…。早朝、ガイドのダンさんがホテルまでピックアップにきてくれて、ハナウマ湾まで向かいます。
ウェットスーツは当初レンタルする予定ではありませんでしたが、ケガ防止や浮きやすくなるなどの説明を受けてレンタルすることにしました。初めてウェットスーツを着用しましたが、これはおススメです！ハナウマ湾は深いところもありますが、岩場の浅瀬で岩ギリギリのところも泳ぎます。もし、ウェットスーツを着用してなかったら、足が傷だらけになっていたかも…(*^^*)
ガイドのダンさんとチエコさんがお魚がたくさんいるところまで連れて行ってくれます。自分たちだけのシュノーケルだとこんなにたくさんのお魚には出会えていなかったと思います。気が付いたら、１時間近く泳いでいて、びっくり！！シュノーケリングのとりこになりそうです。
ダンさん、チエコさん、ありがとうございました！　また、参加したいです！！

It was my first time snorkeling, and I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind thanks to the Japanese guide!
You can leave your belongings locked up on the beach, so it's safe. (That said, it's better to avoid bringing large sums of money or anything that would be a problem if stolen...)
You can also take photos with a GoPro.
We had a lot of blurry pictures, so that was a bit disappointing...

初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、日本語ガイドで安心して楽しめました！
荷物も鍵をかけて、ビーチに置くので、安心です。（とはいえ大金とか、盗難でこまるものはやめた方が良いですが…）
GoProで写真も撮っていただけます。
私たちはピンぼけとかが多かったので、それだけ残念でした…

I participated with my son.
Since there was a Japanese guide, my son was able to join with peace of mind.
They provide guidance on the appropriate course based on the sea conditions, which is reassuring.
I would like to use this service again next time.

息子と一緒の参加でした。
日本語のガイドなので、息子も安心して参加できました。
海の状況によって適切なコースを案内してもらえるので、安心です。
次回もまた利用したいです。

This was a great experience. I do not like the water and get motion sick very easily. However, I could not visit Hawaii without giving snorkeling a try. Dan showed the kids (10 & 12) what to do and gave us time to practice. Seeing how uncomfortable I was, Dan stayed with me and literally held my hand the whole time. I still felt sick by the end from the motion, but the rest of the family did awesome and really enjoyed the experience. Double Dramamine for me next time.

From August 3rd (Saturday) to August 15th (Thursday), we came to Hawaii for the first time in three years for a family trip, planning to stay for a week on Oahu and five days on the Big Island. I had always wanted to try snorkeling at Hanauma Bay, and with my daughter now in the second grade, we decided to go ahead after referencing many experiences on Veltra.

I was concerned about the impact of the typhoon until the day before, but on the day of the tour, August 5th (Monday), it was clear and we were able to go snorkeling.

Dan came to pick us up at the Hilton Hawaiian Village where he was staying, and he shared stories about snorkeling and other topics during the ride, which made for a fun travel reference. We arrived at the Hanauma Bay parking lot around 7:40, and there were already many cars parked. After meeting up with another tour participant's car, we had a total of nine people for snorkeling. The group consisted of our three family members, two students and their parents, and a couple, making a total of nine.

Once we arrived at Hanauma Bay, Dan's wife, Chieko, carefully explained the features of Hanauma Bay, snorkeling, and the preparations, which made us feel secure about trying it. My daughter, being the youngest at second grade, made me a bit worried at first, but Chieko supported her throughout, and she became the best at snorkeling in our family, beaming with joy saying, "I had fun!"

At 8 AM, the seawater temperature was still a bit cold, and although we hadn't signed up for wetsuits, after hearing Chieko's advice, we decided to wear them. It was great that they had prepared enough for everyone and ensured safety while snorkeling.

The conditions at Hanauma Bay had some waves, so we experienced being pushed back while swimming and also moving forward with the current. At first, I was focused on getting used to the breathing technique for snorkeling and using fins for the first time, but soon I started to see fish and wanted to see them better.

My daughter held hands with Chieko and swam while relaxed, which reassured me. I enjoyed snorkeling while holding hands with my wife. At one point, Chieko spotted a turtle, and we were lucky to see it up close, about three meters away!

Even with just about an hour of snorkeling, it felt long underwater, which was a new sensation for me. Everyone who participated in the tour seemed to have a great time, and it became a wonderful memory from this trip.

Thank you so much, Dan and Chieko. I would love to participate again when we come back to Oahu! (●＾o＾●)

８月３日（土）～８月１５日（木）まで、家族旅行で、オアフ島に1週間とハワイ島に５日間の宿泊予定でハワイに３年ぶりにやってきました。ハナウマ湾で、シュノーケリングをいつかはしてみたいと思っていたので、娘が小学２年生になったのを機に、ベルトラさんで多くの体験談を参考にさせていただき決めていきました。
前日まで台風の影響はどうだろうかと気にかけていましたが、ツアー当日の８月５日（月）は快晴で、シュノーケリングを行うことができました。

ダンさんが滞在している、ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジまで迎えに来てくれて、車内でもシュノーケリングのことやそれ以外のお話もしてくれて、楽しく旅行の参考にもなりました。
ハナウマ湾の駐車場は７：４０くらいに到着して、すでにたくさんの車が停まっていました。もう一台のツアー参加者さんの車と合流して、私たちは９名でシュノーケリングを行っていきました。ツアー参加者の構成は我が家の３人と、学生のお子様２人とご両親の４人家族の方、カップルの方達が１組で合計９人でした。

ハナウマ湾に到着してからは、ダンさんの奥様のチエコさんが、ハナウマ湾の特徴や、シュノーケリングのこと、準備を詳しく丁寧に伝えてくれたので、安心してトライしていくこともできました。小学２年生の娘が最年少で、最初はできるかなと半分心配していましたが、チエコ先生が終始サポートをしてくださり、我が家の中では一番上手にシュノーケリングができるようになり、「楽しかったよ。」と満面の笑みでした。

朝８時はまだ海水の温度が冷えている方らしく、我が家はスウェットスーツまでは申し込んでいませんでしたが、チエコ先生の話を聞いて、着用することにして参加することにしました。人数分準備してあることや、安全にシュノーケリングができることを配慮されていることも良かったです。

ハナウマ湾の状態は波が少しある方でしたので、泳いでも少し戻されていったり、反対に流れとともに進んだりするような感じで潜っていきました。最初はシュノーケリングの呼吸のしかたになれること、フィンを初めて使ったので、動かすことに夢中でしたが、そのうちお魚たちが見えてくるようになり、もっとよく見たいと思えるようになってきました♬

娘はチエコ先生と手をつなぎ、力を抜いて泳ぎながら海中を見れていたので、安心しました。私は妻と一緒に手をつないでシュノーケリングを楽しみました。途中チエコ先生がカメがいることを発見して、3メートルくらいの距離でまじかに見ることができたこともラッキーでした♪

1時間くらいのシュノーケリングの時間でも、海の中では長く感じたことも初めての感覚でした。一緒にツアーに参加されていた皆さんも楽しかったようで、今回の旅の中で、良い想い出になってくれましたよ。

ダンさん・チエコさん本当にありがとうございました。またオアフ島に来た際には、再び参加させていただきたいと思っています（●＾o＾●）

I probably never leave reviews but Dan's hospitality and wonderful experience makes first time snorkelers so easy anf fun!

Hanauma Bay snorkeling was guided in Japanese, so I was able to experience it with peace of mind from departure to arrival, and the half day flew by. It was great to hear various stories about sightseeing spots during the car ride as well. Although I didn't get to see the sea turtles I was hoping for during snorkeling, the guide was always attentive to the course and the participants' conditions, ensuring we could see various fish. I would like to try again for the sea turtles.

I had an awesome time snorkeling and would highly recommend the tour. I am not a strong swimmer and was somewhat anxious about the experience. To calm my fears, Cheiko held my hand for the majority of the tour which allowed me to relax and to challenge myself to let go and enjoy the moment. I felt safe and was able to accomplish a personal goal, especially since I love adventure. What a thrilling ride! My nephew accompanied me who had the time of his life as well!

The weather had been nice, so I was looking forward to it, but the water clarity wasn't very high. Okinawa and Guam are much prettier. I did encounter a sea turtle, but due to the low water clarity, I couldn't see it very clearly. There were some fish, but it didn't feel like there were many.

天気も良い日が続いていたので期待していきましたが、あまり透明度が高くなかったです。沖縄やグアムの方が綺麗。
ウミガメにも出会えましたが、海の透明度が低いので、あまりクリアには見えませんでした。
お魚さんもいるにはいましたが、たくさんいる感じではなかったです。

Unfortunately, the weather was a bit bad and we couldn't go out to the sea, so we didn't get to see the sea turtles. However, we were able to see a lot of fish like Nemo! The Japanese guide, Chieko, and her partner, Dan, provided great support for us!

残念ながら天候が少し悪く沖まで出られず、ウミガメには会えませんでしたが、
ニモみたいなお魚をたくさん見れました！
日本人ガイドのちえこさんもパートナーのダンさんも、日本人をしっかりサポートしてくれます！

Despite being warned multiple times, we mistakenly went to the wrong meeting place, but they were very kind to us. (The Hilton Hawaiian Village is really something to watch out for. The Grand Islander and Grand Waikikian can be confusing.)
Our guide, Chieko, was Japanese and very kind and attentive. Unlike a previous snorkeling tour where I had a foreign guide and struggled to communicate, which made me feel scared when I cramped up, we were able to enjoy ourselves as a couple this time.
It's also great that we could take photos with a GoPro and receive them later. I brought an underwater camera, but I was so focused on swimming that I couldn't take good pictures, so this truly became a lifelong memory. Thank you very much.

散々注意されていたにも関わらず集合場所を間違えた私たちに大変親切に対応していただきました。(ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジは本当に要注意。グランドアイランダーとグランドワイキキアンが紛らわしい。）
ガイドのチエコさんは日本人でとても親切丁寧な方で、以前どこかのシュノーケルツアーで外国人ガイドで言葉があまり通じず、足がつったりしても伝えられず怖い思いをしたようなことは全然なく、夫婦で楽しむことができました。
ゴープロで写真を撮ってあとでいただけるのもありがたいですね、水中カメラを持参したのですが、泳ぐのに必死でうまく撮れなかったので、本当に一生の記念、です。ありがとうございました。

I was very satisfied with the tour content and the guide's response! It's just a shame about the weather and the strong waves. I would like to participate again next time.

ツアー内容、ガイドさんの対応等は大変満足でした！
ただお天気と波が強くて残念。
また次の機会に参加したいです。

We participated as a couple. Thanks to Chieko and Dan, we had a wonderful time. Swimming over the coral reef, there were fish right in front of us, and it felt like we were swimming together. The explanation for snorkeling was easy to understand, so we could swim with peace of mind. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see any sea turtles, but we were pleasantly surprised to meet two seals. Thank you very much.

夫婦で参加しました。チエコさんとダンさんのおかげで、とっても楽しく過ごせました。サンゴ礁の上を泳ぐと魚が目の前にいて、一緒に泳いでいる気分です。シュノーケルの説明も分かりやすく安心して泳げました。残念ながらウミガメには会えませんでしたが、2頭のアザラシに会えて嬉しいびっくりでした。ありがとうございました。

While following Chieko and Dan, looking at many fish one after another, I realized that I had swum quite a distance without even noticing. Although we usually feel our lack of stamina, thanks to the friendly and kind nature of the two of them, who held our hands along the way, we were able to enjoy ourselves and feel safe until the end. I'm really glad we chose this course. Thank you very much.

たくさんのお魚を、次から次へと見ながら、ちえこさん、ダンさんについて行くうちに、いつのまにかたくさんの距離を泳げていました。
体力のなさを日頃から痛感している私たちでしたが、途中から手を繋いでくださったり、気さくで優しいお2人のおかげで、最後まで楽しく安心して過ごせました。
このコースを選んで本当に良かったと思います。
ありがとうございました。

What an awesome experience I got to share with my son for his 18th birthday. The guide's, Dan and his wife were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely worth the money. I would highly recommend.

Cheiko was very patient with our beginner family of 2 adults and 2 young kids
We had a great time and she especially took care of my wife who is terrified of the water
I highly recommend this tour for all those who have never done snorkelling before- it’s very safe
Something you should never miss out

You should absolutely use this service!!! Amazing!!

The sea was very beautiful. It was a great memory to see the rare seals. Having a Japanese guide was the most reassuring part. If you're looking for snorkeling, I recommend this place!

海はとても綺麗でした。貴重なアザラシが見れたのは良い思い出です。日本人ガイドだったのが1番安心しました。シュノーケリングを探してる方はこちらがオススメです！

I participated on the 16th. Thank you to the instructor, Chieko, who searched for us when we made a mistake about the meeting place. I’m really sorry for the trouble. I was also happy that you pulled my hand when I got tired and swam with me in the coral sea until the very end. Thanks to you, I was able to swim with the fish for a full hour underwater. You also took photos of us snorkeling in the beautiful Hanauma Bay, which was a great help since we didn’t have to carry a camera. There were so many beautiful fish of various kinds. They came close and seemed very accustomed to people. I wished I could have swum a little longer. When we got back to the beach, you had prepared cold water and snacks, which was a wonderful break and very delicious. Thank you very much. I would like to go again, so I hope to see you then.

お願いします。

First time in Hawaii and snorkeling for me; overall, it was a fun experience! Saw lots of colorful fishes and coral. The guide also made it easy to understand and use the equipment - and soon, everyone was snorkeling in no time. The group is small so you don't have to worry about there being too large of a crowd to be able to follow the guide. Great value and experience - highly recommended for anyone who is completely new to snorkeling and Hanauma Bay!

I participated in the tour on the morning of May 10th. I was initially anxious as I was with my 65-year-old mother, but Chieko took great care of us, which was very helpful. We saw many types of fish underwater and even encountered a Hawaiian monk seal resting on the beach! It was an incredibly fulfilling experience. There were also very friendly cats and mongooses on the beach. The mongooses seemed to be a nuisance, rummaging through trash and stealing food, but they are a rare sight for Japanese people, so it was fun to see them. It seems like it became a good memory for my mother as well, and I am grateful for that.

As for advice for those who will participate, I haven't been there in the midsummer, so I can't say, but in spring and autumn, the sea is still cold. I saw the locals swimming comfortably in swimsuits, but we couldn't enjoy it the same way. Perhaps our tolerance to cold is different. It's a shame not to enjoy the beautiful sea because of the cold. I strongly recommend renting a wetsuit. The guide will choose one that fits you. From my previous experience, I knew it would be cold, so I brought my own short wetsuit, but I later thought I should have rented a full suit. Even the short wetsuit took up a lot of space in my suitcase, and my legs weren't protected, which is important since you swim over shallow areas with coral to avoid injuries.

You can leave your valuables and luggage behind, and I recommend not taking anything into the water. If you do bring something, a sturdy underwater camera would be ideal. I brought my waterproof smartphone in the zippered pocket of my swimsuit, but after about four years of use, it short-circuited and became unusable. After that, I had to go sightseeing without my smartphone. Luckily, my mother had hers, but I ended up changing my phone model when I returned home.

The guide will upload the photos they took to Facebook later. You can download them freely, and it's free!

I hope this information is helpful, and I highly recommend it! Mahalo!

5月10日の午前中のツアーに参加させて頂きました。
65歳の母親と一緒で最初は不安もありましたが、Chiekoさんが面倒を見てくれたので、とても助かりました。
水中ではたくさんの種類の魚が見れ、砂浜で寝ているハワイアンシーモンクにも出会えました！
非常に充実した体験でした。
浜にはとても人懐こいネコと、マングースなんかもいました。
マングースはそこではごみ箱を漁ったり食物をかっぱらっていく害獣のような存在のようですが、日本人にとっては珍しい生き物で、見れて楽しかったです。
母親にとっても良い思い出になったようで、感謝しています。

これから参加する人へのアドバイスですが、
真夏は来た事がないのでわかりませんが、春秋はまだ海が冷たいです。
向こうの皆さんは平気で水着で泳いでいるのを見ますが、我々は彼らと同じ調子では楽しめません。寒さに対する耐性が違うのでしょうか。
寒さでせっかくの海が楽しめないのはもったいないです。
ウェットスーツのレンタルを強く推奨します。ガイドさんがその人に合った物を選んでくれます。
自分は以前の体験から寒い事を知り、タッパーを自前で用意して行きましたが、フルスーツをレンタルすれば良かったと後から思いました。
上だけのタッパーですらスーツケースに入れると嵩張りましたし、足が保護されないので。浅い場所でサンゴの上を泳ぐので怪我防止にもなります。

貴重品や荷物は預けられます、海の中には何も持って行かない事をお勧めします。持っていくなら丈夫な水中カメラ位でしょうか、自分は防水仕様のスマホを水着のチャック付きポケットに入れて持ち込みましたが、４年程使っており経年劣化していたのか、見事にショートしお釈迦になりました。その後はスマホなしの不便な観光を強いられました。母のスマホがあったのでまだ良かったですが、帰国後はその日に機種変更です。

写真はガイドさんが撮った物を後日フェイスブックにアップしてくれます。
自由にダウンロードできます、なんと無料ですよ！

参考にして頂ければ幸いです、お勧めします！マハロ！

Dan was an awesome guide. Once he picked us up he gave us lots of little facts about Honolulu in general as we drove out. He was also very knowledgeable in answering our questions.

I liked that it was such a small group and felt that we all got some one on one time with the instructor as we needed.

Overall it was an amazing day and an experience I’ll remember for the rest of my life.

Highly recommend!

Our guides were really patient and very good at what they do. Not only do they make the whole gearing up and organizing details easy they taught my 6 year old daughter to snorkel and she actually did it! She is shy and was refusing for weeks, telling me she would not snorkel and I was quite prepared to sit on the beach with her but they wasted no time in teaching her directly 1 on 1 and getting her to put her face in the water while I got to snorkel close by. It was really great and she loved it, I loved it and the rest of the family did too. We saw beautiful fish and spent the time all pointing at things and saying "look" under water. A great day! Thank you so much!

My husband and I participated together. The tour had a small group of seven people, including us, with support from Chieko and Dan (who speaks fluent Japanese). During the journey to Hanauma Bay, they shared various stories, making the trip enjoyable.

Once we arrived at Hanauma Bay, we smoothly bypassed the long line for individual tickets. We watched a video about the protection of Hanauma Bay, and it was quick to get through that as well. We really reached the beach efficiently.

As a first-time snorkeler, I was carefully taught how to wear the mask and how to clear water from it. Even after entering the water, they kept an eye on me, which made me feel very safe, and I was able to enjoy snorkeling a lot.

Depending on the sea conditions that day, they changed the swimming points to provide the best experience. On the day we participated, there was quite a low tide, so there were reportedly fewer fish. Dan also took underwater photos and pictures of us. I was grateful to see the beautiful fish again.

If I have the opportunity to visit Hawaii again, I would definitely like to bring my children and grandchildren along and participate again. This tour is highly recommended for beginners and children!

主人と二人で参加しました。ツアーも私たちを含めて7人の少人数で、チエコさんとダン（日本語ペラペラ）二人でのサポート体制。ハナウマ湾へ向かう道中も色々、お話をしてくれて、楽しみながら向かうことができました。
ハナウマ湾へ着いてからも、個人で来られている方の入場のチケットを買う長い列を横目に、スイスイ。ハナウマ湾保護のためのビデオを見るのですが、それもどこで見ると出るのが早い…等々。ほんとに効率よくビーチまで辿り着くことができました。
シュノーケリングが初めての私に丁寧にマスクの付け方や水の抜き方など教えて頂き、海に入ってからも、気にかけてくださり、とても安心して、シュノーケリングをとても楽しむことができました。
その日の海の状態で、泳ぐポイントを変えてその日のベストを提供していただきました。
私たちが参加した日は、かなりな引き潮でしたので、魚も少なかったらしいです。
ダンが水中の写真や私たちの写真も撮ってくれました。改めて綺麗な魚たちも見ることができ、感謝です。
またハワイを訪れる機会があれば、次は子供たちや孫たちも連れて、是非是非参加したいと思います。
初心者や子どもさんにもほんとにおすすめのツアーです！

We were really looking for a beginner experience as most of us weren't strong swimmers. Half of us didn't finish the entire activity as we got easily tired and unfortunately didn't see any turtles. It was a good experience though and something worth doing/trying at least once.

It took a while to get used to the snorkel but a good experience nonetheless.

It was a perfect day. Nice and Sunny, but not too hot. We saw 2 turtles and loads of fish. Guide Dan was very helpful for those in our group, who were true beginners or having trouble with their masks or other issues.
Would highly recommend them.

Thank you so much for everything the other day (^ - ^) Thanks to Teacher Chieko, my whole family was able to enjoy ourselves (^_^)v I was particularly worried about my 9-year-old son and 6-year-old daughter, but the teacher was very kind and provided a lot of support. My daughter really took a liking to her (^.^)

We were lucky to see the turtle eating, and even got to take pictures together as it came up to the surface☆ We also saw various kinds of fish, which were really beautiful (^_^)/~~

At first, we didn't plan to rent wetsuits, but the teacher advised us that it would be cold, so we decided to rent them. The kids seemed to feel cold later on, so I really think it was a good decision to rent them.

The teacher was very friendly and shared a lot about Hawaii and Japan.

This trip to Hawaii has truly become our most wonderful memory. Thank you very much.

先日は本当にありがとうございました(^-^)
ちえこ先生のおかげで家族みんなが楽しむことができました(^_^)v特に９才の息子と６才の娘が大丈夫かなぁと心配していたのですが、先生がとっても優しくて、色々フォローしてくださいました。娘はすっかり先生になついてしまいました(^.^)

カメが食事しているところを見れて、おまけに水面まであがってきてくれて一緒に写真もとってもらえてラッキーでした☆色々な種類の魚も見れてすごくきれいでした(^_^)/~~

最初はウエットスーツは借りる予定はなかったのですが、先生が寒いよと教えてくださって借りました。こどもは後半寒かったみたいなので、本当に借りてよかったなぁと思います。

先生はすごく気さくな方で、ハワイのことや日本のお話も色々してくださいました。

ハワイの旅行の中で、やっぱり一番のステキな思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。

It was my first snorkeling experience. I was a bit anxious, but since it was a small group, I felt well taken care of and truly enjoyed it! The instructor was kind and knowledgeable, and I definitely want to go again!

はじめてのシュノーケル体験でした。
不安でしたが少人数制という事もあり、
常に気にかけてくださって本当に楽しめました！
インストラクターの方も優しくて知識も豊富で
また行きたいと思いました！

Cheiko, who came to pick us up at the hotel, was very cheerful and pleasant, which made us feel very reassured at that point.

Once we arrived at Hanauma Bay, they kindly helped us with the rental of fins and wetsuits, how to change, and the use of masks. It took me a little time to get used to breathing through my mouth, but with Dan leading the way and Cheiko at the back, I felt very safe. They also adjusted the snorkeling route based on the day's bay conditions, prioritizing safety, which I appreciated.

Although we couldn't see any sea turtles due to the low tide, we were able to see many beautiful tropical fish, which was truly moving. Dan took photos of both people and fish with a GoPro and uploaded them to Facebook two days later, so participants didn't need to bring their own cameras or smartphones.

The sea and the fish were very beautiful, and we had a truly wonderful time. I also appreciated the water and snack service after the tour, as well as the transportation back to our accommodation.

If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would love to join their tour again. Thank you very much, Cheiko and Dan!

宿泊先のホテルに迎え来てくださったチエコさんがとても明るくて感じのいい方で、この時点でとても安心できました。
ハナウマ湾に着いてからは、フィンやウエットスーツの貸し出し、着替え方、マスクの着用などもとても親切にしてくださいました。
口呼吸に慣れるまでに少し時間がかかりましたが、ダンさんが先頭、最後尾をチエコさんで守ってくださるので、とても安心でした。その日の湾のコンディションで臨機応変にシュノーケリングルートを変えるようで、安全第一に判断してくださるのもありがたかったです。
引き潮で、ウミガメは見られませんでしたが、きれいな熱帯魚をたくさん見ることができ、感動しました。ダンさんがGoProで人も魚も撮影をしてくださって、翌々日にFacebookでアップしてくださったので、参加者は無理にカメラやスマホを持ち込まなくても大丈夫です。
海も魚もとてもきれいで、本当に素敵な時間を過ごすことができました。
終わってからのお水・スナックサービス、宿泊先までの送りサービスもありがたかったです。
またハワイに行くことがあったら、またお二人のツアーに参加したいです。チエコさん、ダンさん、どうもありがとうございました！
