All Reviews for Hanauma Bay Snorkeling Tours

This is a place I have always wanted to take my family to. Currently, the bus service has been discontinued, and entry requires a reservation in advance. It feels a bit daunting, so I decided to join a tour.

I chose a tour that departs early in the morning and allows you to select your return time.

First, there was a pre-trip briefing on the tour bus, which made me feel very reassured. Upon arriving at the site, the entry was smooth, and we quickly reached the bay.

During our time in the bay, I made sure to bring drinks, snacks, and rice balls (with ice packs). We spent 90 minutes in the morning, took a 90-minute break, and then enjoyed another 90 minutes of snorkeling.

My family seemed to have a great time snorkeling. The bay, with the tide fully out, made it easy to observe the fish, and we saw many of them.

For lunch, we indulged in some sweets and had a hearty meal, taking a short break before enjoying the afternoon thoroughly.

Marine shoes are a must. While rentals are available on-site, I prefer using my own snorkeling gear that I'm accustomed to. Since there is quite a bit of sunlight, I recommend placing your belongings in the shade and bringing a tent. I brought extra bath towels to help regulate my body temperature.

Returning was also smooth, making it easy to get back to the hotel, which I think makes planning evening activities more convenient. I would love to go again.

いつか、家族をつれて行きたいと思っていた場所になります。
今は、路線バスも廃線となり、入場も事前予約が必要になります。
敷居がたかく、ツアーで参加にしました。
＊朝早い便で向かい、帰りの便を選べるツアーにしました。

まず、ツアーバスの中で事前に説明もあり、とても安心です。現地に到着すると入場もスムーズですぐに湾内に到着できます。

湾内で過ごす間の、飲料とお菓子、おにぎり（保冷剤）はしっかり準備して持ち込みました。
午前中に90分、休憩に90分、午後90分、しっかり休みをとりシュノーケルしてきました。

家族は、シュノーケルがとても楽しかったようです。
潮がしっかり引いた湾内は、お魚が観察しやすく
沢山見ることができました。

お昼は、甘いものもとりしっかり食べて、少し休憩もはさんで、午後もしっかり楽しみました。

マリンシューズは必須。
現地はレンタルもありますが、使い慣れた自身のシュノーケルセットが良いです。
日差しはそれなりにあるので、木陰に荷物を置くが、持ち込みテントをお勧めします。
私は体温調整しやすいようにバスタオル多めに持っていきました。

帰りもホテル側の送迎場所までスムーズに帰ってくるため、後も楽で夕方の予定が組みやすいと思います。
また行きたいです。

Originally, we were able to watch a video at the entrance of Hanauma Bay, but instead, we watched it on the bus. This allowed us to smoothly enter the bay with guidance from the tour staff upon arrival, and we were able to start snorkeling right away.

Although there seemed to be fewer fish than I expected, the ocean was incredibly beautiful! Additionally, I was lucky enough to witness a monk seal coming ashore, which was a delightful experience!

As more people gradually arrived, I recommend going early in the morning. The bus offers many options for departure and return times, which is great because you can participate according to your own schedule.

The return bus provided drop-off service to each hotel, and the tour staff were very kind. I had heard that it was difficult to get tickets, so I was grateful that this tour was available.

本来ハナウマ湾入場口で視聴するビデオをバスの中で見れるので、現地に到着してからは、ツアースタッフに案内されてスムーズに入場、そしてシュノーケルを始めることができました。
魚は思ったより少なく感じたものの、海はとても綺麗でした！
また、たまたまモンクシールが陸に上がる瞬間に出会えることができて、楽しかったです！
だんだん人が増えてくるので、朝一から行くことがおすすめですが、
バスは行きと帰りの時間の選択肢が多いので、自分のスケジュールに合わせて参加できるのも良い点です。
帰りのバスは1組ずつホテルまで送迎してくれて、とても親切なツアースタッフの方々でした。
なかなかチケットが取れないと事前情報を知っていたため、このようなツアーが開催されていて助かりました。

I had a truly wonderful time! The waves were very calm, allowing me to enjoy snorkeling at a leisurely pace. What made me happiest this time was that I was lucky enough to see a seal! It was so cute resting on the sandy beach, and this unexpected encounter warmed my heart.

Even under the strong Hawaiian sun, a pleasant breeze flows through when you find shade, making it very comfortable. The time spent relaxing and gazing at the sea from under the trees during breaks from snorkeling was pure bliss.

The contrast between the emerald green sea viewed from the high ground and the lush greenery surrounding the bay is breathtakingly beautiful. It was the perfect activity to enjoy nature at a relaxed pace amidst stunning scenery that looks like a painting from every angle!

本当に素晴らしい時間を過ごすことができました！
波がとても穏やかだったので、のんびりとシュノーケリングを楽しむことができました。そして今回何より嬉しかったのが、運よくアザラシを見られたことです！砂浜で休んでいる姿がとても可愛らしくて、思いがけない出会いに心が温まりました。
ハワイの強い日差しの中でも、日陰に入ると心地よい風が吹き抜けて、とても快適に過ごせます。シュノーケリングの合間に、木陰からのんびりと海を眺めながら休憩する時間はまさに至福でした。
高台から見下ろすエメラルドグリーンの海と、湾をぐるりと囲む豊かな緑のコントラストは息をのむほどの美しさです。どこを切り取っても絵になる絶景の中で、大自然をゆったりと楽しむことができる最高のアクティビティでした！

I was surprised that instead of the usual van-type vehicles used for OP tours, we had a large tour bus. It seems that you can check your luggage like on a night bus (this may vary depending on the number of participants).

It's convenient that we can watch the rules guide and history video inside the bus instead of at the entrance of Hanauma Bay. However, it seems there were some issues with coordination between the main office and the site, as some people had their bus assignments changed on the spot based on the course. (The guide will inform you, so you won't be left behind.)

よくあるOPツアーの送迎に用いられるバンタイプの車ではなく、大型の観光バスだったのでびっくりしました。夜行バスの要領で荷物も預けられるようです(参加人数によって異なるかもです)。

本来ハナウマ湾入場口で視聴するルールガイドや歴史のビデオをバスの中で見れるのは便利です。
ただ本部と現場の統制がうまく取れていないのか、コース別で分乗するバスの乗車車両がその場で変更になっている人がいたようです。(ガイドさんが教えてくれるので置き去りにはならないです)

At first, I planned to go by rental car on my own, but I thought it would be frustrating if I couldn't snorkel due to a full parking lot. So, I signed up for this tour. The pickup location was at 8:30 AM at the Hyatt Regency, and I appreciated being able to choose from several return time options.

The ocean was beautiful, and we could see plenty of fish. We brought our own snorkeling vests and masks, but rentals are available on-site. I believe families with small children can enjoy this safely.

Unlike Waikiki Beach, which can be crowded, we were able to maintain a private space and relax.

最初は、レンタカーで自力で行くつもりでしたが、駐車場がいっぱいだったりでせっかくのシューノーケリングができなかったりしたら嫌だ。と思いこのツアーに申し込みました。ピックアップ場所は８時３０分ハイアットリージェンシー、帰り時間は幾つかのプランを選べたのが良かった。
海は綺麗で魚もよく見えました。
私達は、シュノーケリングベスト、シュノーケリングマスク持参しました。現地でレンタル可能です。
小さい子供さんがいる家族でも十分安全に楽しめると思います。
ワイキキビーチのように、人だかり状態ではなくプライベートスペースがたもててゆっくりできました。

It was a big and clean bus! I was a bit anxious because there was no sign at the bus stop, but they arrived a little before the scheduled time! I felt relieved that they communicated in Japanese when I boarded. The video on the bus and the driver spoke in English, so I didn't understand what they were saying, but they gave me a notice written in Japanese when I got on, which matched what was on the voucher, so there were no issues. When I got off, they also communicated in Japanese, and I was able to reach the return bus stop without getting lost. Hanauma Bay was amazing! The water was clear, and I could see various fish. I didn't get to see a honu (sea turtle), so I want to try again!

大きくて中も綺麗なバスでした！
乗り場に看板はないので少し不安でしたが
時間より少し前に来てくれました！
乗車の際は日本語で対応していただけて安心しました
車中の動画も運転手の方も英語だったので
何言ってるかわからなかったけど
乗る時に日本語で書かれた注意事項をくれバウチャーに書かれていることだったので問題なかったです
降車の際も日本語で対応していただき帰りのバス乗り場も迷うことなくたどり着けました
ハナウマ湾最高でした
海も澄んでていろんなお魚も見れました
ホヌが見れなかったのでまたリベンジしたいと思います

Since we departed around 7 AM, it was still a bit chilly when we arrived at Hanauma Bay to go into the water. There were not many people in the morning, so it was great that we could rent the snorkeling gear smoothly without much waiting.

It was my first experience snorkeling, but it was easy to swim, and I was satisfied with the encounters with the fish. I think it's a safe sea for beginners to swim in.

The tour's pickup and entry to Hanauma Bay were also simple and easy to understand, and the large bus made the transportation comfortable.

朝7時頃の出発だったのでハナウマ湾に到着した頃はまだ海に入るには少し寒かったです。朝は人が少なかったのでほとんど待つことなくスムーズにシュノーケルセットをレンタルできたのは良かったです。
シュノーケリング自体が初めての経験でしたが、泳ぎやすく、魚にも出会えて満足できました。初心者でも安心して泳げる海だと思います。
ツアーの送迎やハナウマ湾への入場も簡単で分かりやすく、大きなバスだったので移動も快適でした。

I went to Hanauma Bay with my family and we had a wonderful experience! In the morning, we went to the pickup spot where the shuttle came to pick us up on time and everything went smoothly. The shuttle was very clean and the seats were nice and comfortable. Our shuttle driver was very kind and funny. I liked that she told us more about the island and the streets we were driving on while we were on the way to the bay. While on the bus, we also watched a mandatory and informative video about safety and preserving the bay. When we got to Hanauma Bay, we were greeted by someone from Roberts Hawaii who walked us all the way to where the tram was that took us down to the bay which was very helpful because we didn't have to find it on our own and we didn't have to walk all the way down. We enjoyed our day at the bay swimming and snorkeling and saw so many colorful fish! Then when it was time for pickup, our shuttle came on time and we were on our way back to Waikiki. Everything about the day went smoothly and it was so fun and relaxing. I really appreciated that everyone who helped us was so kind and helpful. Overall, it was an amazing experience and I would gladly go on this shuttle again!

The bus picked us up and we took a short walk to a trolley, which then took us to the beach. Once you're off, you're greeted with a great angle of the sky and surrounded by cliffs that form the wall of the bay. There are areas of the ocean filled with coral for snorkeling, and areas with close to no coral for those who simply enjoy being in the water. Plenty of space to set up camp, featuring grassy areas and sandy ones for whichever you prefer. Either way, any spot will give you a bright shine from the sun, a short walk to the water, and enough space to relax during your trip.

After the beach, there is a small gift shop and a food court. The gift shop is pretty generic, but features Hanauma trinkets and accessories. The food court has enough food options to keep you full until you get back. I recommend getting the chicken tenders, but ask them to sub out the regular fries with garlic fries. That seemed to be the most popular item there and I saw most people eating that.

Overall, fun beach to visit with a great view of the ocean for pictures.

I have been to Hawaii more than ten times, and this was my first visit to Hanauma Bay. It's a bit difficult to go on your own because you need a rental car and there are limits on the number of people, but this tour was great! The round trip was on a large bus, and the timing was precise! We also watched a video about environmental conservation on the bus, so we were able to head straight to the beach upon arrival, making for a very smooth experience.

10回以上ハワイに来ていて今回初めてハナウマ湾に行きました。
個人で行くにはレンタカーが必要だったり人数制限があったりして行きづらいですが、このツアーは行き帰りは大型バスでしかも時間は正確！バスの中で環境保全のビデオも見るので着いてすぐにビーチに行けてとてもスムーズな体験ができました。

The bus arrived on time at 8:30 to pick us up. They efficiently checked the guest list and quickly got us on the bus, providing a fun English guide along the way to Hanauma Bay. We also watched a pre-visit video about Hanauma Bay on the bus, so we were able to enter directly upon arrival. After confirming the return time and location, we were off to Hanauma Bay! We laid out a small leisure sheet on the grass under the observation tower, left our belongings except for valuables, and enjoyed snorkeling. We could see fish even at the shoreline, but there were many more around the coral. We had chosen a return time of 12:30, which was just right. We were blessed with good weather, and it truly turned out to be a fulfilling day.

バスは時間通り8時半に迎えに来てくれました。手際よく名簿をチェックし直ぐにバスに乗せてくれ、ハナウマ湾までの道中も英語で楽しくガイドいただきました。バスの中でハナウマ湾の事前学習ビデオも視聴するので、現地では直接入場させてもらいました。帰りの時間と場所も再確認してから、いざハナウマ湾へ！監視塔下の芝生の上に小さなレジャーシートを敷き、貴重品以外の荷物を置き、シュノーケリングを楽しみました。お魚は波打ち際でも見れましたが珊瑚の辺りに多く見れました。帰りの時間は12時半を選択してましたが、丁度良かったです。お天気にも恵まれ、本当に充実した日になりました。

I had been looking forward to Hanauma Bay for a long time. The view from the high point before descending to the beach was truly breathtaking. The water felt like a natural aquarium! I was able to swim with colorful tropical fish while snorkeling, and it was an extraordinary experience. I also appreciated Hawaii's commitment to protecting the ocean, which was highlighted by the environmental protection video we watched beforehand.

ずっと楽しみにしていたハナウマ湾。ビーチに降りる前の高台からの景色はまさに絶景でした。水の中はまるで天然の水族館！シュノーケリングで色とりどりの熱帯魚と一緒に泳げて、非日常な時間を過ごせました。事前の環境保護ビデオの視聴も含めて、海を大切にするハワイの姿勢も素敵だなと感じました。

I experienced snorkeling for the first time at Hanauma Bay. The water was incredibly clear, and I was truly moved to see colorful fish swimming right nearby. At first, I was a bit nervous, but the waves were relatively calm, allowing me to enjoy it with peace of mind. I also felt that this place is well-preserved by nature, making it a very precious experience. It became a memorable time, a beautiful memory of Hawaii's stunning ocean.

ハナウマ湾で初めてシュノーケリングを体験しました。海の透明度がとても高く、色とりどりの魚たちがすぐ近くを泳いでいる様子を見ることができて、本当に感動しました。最初は少し緊張しましたが、波も比較的穏やかで、安心して楽しむことができました。自然が大切に守られている場所だということも実感でき、とても貴重な体験になりました。ハワイの美しい海の思い出として、心に残る時間となりました。

I was truly moved to see natural fish and coral reefs right nearby while swimming. However, the sea was cold at 7 AM in January, so I couldn't stay in for long... I think it would be enjoyable around 10 AM when the sun is fully up.

泳いでいるすぐ近くを天然の魚や珊瑚礁を見ることができ、本当に感動しました。
ただ、1月の朝7時の海は寒くて、長時間は入っていられませんでした…。
日が登りきった10時ごろなら楽しめると思います。

The shuttle service was wonderful. People were very friendly. The snorkeling was awesome. Everything went very smooth. Would use this company again and would recommend.

Hanauma Bay was really beautiful and probably one of my favorite places on the trip. The view was amazing, and I took a lot of nice photos just by lying on the grass and looking at the ocean. It felt super relaxing and peaceful. I also saw some really cool fish, which made it exciting and different from just a normal beach.

There were a few things I didn’t like though. The rocks in the water made it kind of hard to walk, and sometimes it hurt my feet. I also didn’t enjoy snorkeling that much, but that was mostly because I felt sick. I think it would actually be really fun if you feel okay.

Be careful when putting on sunscreen and don’t get it too close to your eyes because it really hurts. Also, watch out for mongoose because they might steal your food. I saw it happen to people sitting near us. Overall, Hanauma Bay is an awesome place and I would recommend going.

I participated in the tour in late March. It was quite cold since it was early in the morning and cloudy. I can't speak much English, but the tours with Japanese guides are quite expensive, so choosing this tour was the right decision. Even if you're worried about your English, you can just check the meeting time for the return trip with a translation app, and there won't be any problems. Hanauma Bay is a place that has value in "going there itself," so it's important not to have excessive expectations about the sea. If you're looking for an environment filled with tropical fish, you should go to Guam or Miyako Island. In that sense, I don't think snorkeling tours are very meaningful, especially the expensive ones with Japanese guides. It's particularly tough when it's cold because you can't swim at your own pace. That's why this tour, which only includes transportation, makes sense. That said, the price feels a bit high considering it only covers the entrance fee, group transportation, and mask and fin rentals. However, since it's just a group transportation tour without any special individual services, I believe tipping is basically unnecessary.

3月後半に参加。早朝でかつ曇りだったのでかなり寒かったです。英語がほぼ話せないですが、日本人ガイド付きツアーは割高なので、このツアーにして正解でした。英語が不安でも、帰りの集合時間だけ翻訳アプリで確認すれば問題なし。ハナウマ湾という場所は「行くこと自体」に価値がある場所であって、海自体に過度な期待は禁物です。熱帯魚がそこら中にいるような環境を求めるなら、グアムや宮古島に行くべき。そういう意味で、シュノーケリングツアーはあまり意味がないと思います。日本人ガイド付きの高価なツアーなら尚更です。特に寒いと自分のペースで泳げないので、余計に辛くなります。だから送迎のみのこのツアーは理にかなっています。とは言え、価格は入場料別で、グループ送迎＋マスク・フィンレンタルだけの内容の割に、値段はやや高めに感じました。ただグループ送迎のみのツアーで、特段、個別のサービスはないため、チップは基本的に必要ないと私は思います。

I participated in late March. I considered booking the tickets myself, but I chose the tour to buy the peace of mind of having secured them in advance. It turned out to be a great decision! As mentioned in the tour description, we saved time by watching a video and receiving explanations from the guide on the bus. We wore paper bands on our right wrists to prove we were participants of Roberts, which we kept on until the return trip. Once we arrived, we skipped the explanation area for the general public and other tour participants and headed straight to the beach! I had imagined the shuttle bus would be a large van, but it was actually a big bus. We arrived right on time. There were some Japanese participants, but since it was organized by Roberts, there were many foreigners as well. The English was easy to understand, so there was no need to worry.

Although we only stayed from 8:00 to 12:00, it felt like no time at all. At first, I thought it might be long, but it felt like a lie! I laughed with the foreigners I traveled with about how quickly it went by! It was a spot that could move anyone, regardless of their nationality.

The total cost for the transportation and peace of mind was very reasonable, and I highly recommend it!

3月下旬に参加。
自分でチケット予約することも考えたが、先に確保できる安心感を買うつもりでツアーを
選択。結果大正解！ツアー説明にもある通り、行きのバスでガイドさんからの説明と動画視聴することで時間節約。説明確認済みの証明、Roberts参加者とわかるなように紙バンドを右手首に装着。帰りまでつけたまま。着いたら一般や他ツアー参加者が向かう説明場はスルーして即ビーチへ！シャトルバスも大型バンをイメージしていたが、大型バス。時間通りの到着。日本人もいたが、Roberts催行ということもあり外国の方が多数でした。英語もわかりやすいので心配不要です。
現地滞在8:00〜12:00だけどあっという間でした。最初は長いかな？と思っていたのが嘘みたい。行き帰り一緒だった外国の方と、あっという間だったね〜と笑い合うくらい！各国共通で感動できるスポットだなと実感。
送迎代、安心代トータルで高コスパでおすすめです！

I think you can swim from the morning in the summer, but the mornings in March are still cold and tough. However, once the sun comes out, it's not that cold, so it might be better to swim in the afternoon during winter. Even in the shallow areas, you can see a lot of fish and swim close enough to them. I also got to see a seal, which was fun. It was a shame that one of the snorkels was broken.

夏場は朝から泳げると思うけど3月の朝はまだ寒くて辛かった。でも日が出てからはさほど寒くないので冬場は午後がいいかも。浅瀬でも沢山の魚をみれて手が届きそうな距離で一緒に泳げます。アザラシにも会えて楽しかったです。シュノーケルが一つ壊れてて残念でした。

I participated in this tour on February 28th. The weather was clear, and the water was very clear, making for the best conditions. The snorkeling gear is available for rent on-site, which is reassuring. All the explanations are in English, but there is generally a Japanese guide on the voucher, so I was able to understand everything without any issues. Although I didn't encounter any sea turtles, I was able to see a variety of colorful fish, both large and small, which was very moving. I think even beginners can participate with confidence. There are also facilities for restrooms and changing spaces. It was a wonderful tour where I could fully enjoy the nature-rich Hanauma Bay, and I definitely want to participate again.

2/28に本ツアーを利用しました。当日は晴天で海の透明度も高く、最高のコンディションでした。シュノーケリングセットは現地でレンタル可能で安心。説明はすべて英語ですが、バウチャーに概ね日本語の案内があるため問題なく理解できました。ホヌには出会えなかったものの、大小さまざまな色とりどりの魚に出会うことができ、とても感動しました。初心者でも安心して参加できると思います。トイレや着替えスペースも整っています。自然豊かなハナウマベイを満喫できる素敵なツアーで、ぜひまた参加したいです。

My boyfriend and I had the BEST time on this experience. Firstly the bus that picked us up was LUSH and so comfortable (more comfortable than the flight to get to Hawaii!). The tour guide and bus driver were so nice and very informative. Took us through the most scenic route to get to the bay so it was really nice to see the beautiful coastline before we even arrived. The bay itself is just INCREDIBLE. So so beautiful. They have a great service to drive you down to the bay to save your leggies (although we did walk back up and it was fine - short and sharp lol). We got ourselves a great spot on the beach, then got straight in to the water. The water was crystal clear, and beautiful temperature and we saw SO many fish from the get-go. It was a really love few hours snorkelling and then just relaxing in the sun, would absolutely recommend doing this experience to anyone and everyone!

The pickup was smooth, and we were able to watch the video that we would normally see after arriving while still in the car. Depending on the time, there were long lines for individuals to get tickets, but since we were part of a group, we were able to go to the beach smoothly. Overall, there was no wasted time, and we got to enjoy a beautiful beach!

The guide provided explanations in English, and they spoke slowly, making it easy to understand!

送迎もスムーズで、
本来なら着いてから見るビデオを車内で見ることが出来たことや、
時間によっては個人でチケット手配して入るところは長蛇の列でしたが、団体だからかスムーズに海に行くことが出来、
全体的に無駄な時間がなく、素敵な海に行けました！

ガイドさんも英語での説明でしたが、ゆっくり話して下さるので、分かりやすかったです！

In February, I really wanted to visit Hanauma Bay, so I searched the web and found this transportation plan from VELTRA. It was cheaper compared to other sites and had good reviews, so I booked it right away. The reservation form was easy to understand, and they sent plenty of reminder emails after the booking, which was very helpful.

I wished for sunny weather the whole time, and finally, the day arrived! I was picked up at 8 AM in the alley behind the Hyatt. The bus arrived a little late, possibly due to traffic, which made me a bit worried, but the large green bus with "Roberts Hawaii" written on it was easy to spot, so I felt reassured. Inside the bus, we watched a 10-minute video, and we were given wristbands for entry to Hanauma Bay after confirming our viewing.

The bus driver continuously explained the scenery around us, so I was never bored; it was fun! We arrived at Hanauma Bay in just over 30 minutes. Those who booked directly through the official site had to wait in a long line for entry, but since we had already watched the video, we could skip the line! We entered without any stress.

Hanauma Bay was as beautiful and blue as I had seen in photos, with a lot of colorful fish swimming around; it felt like paradise! The number of visitors is limited to 1,400, so it wasn't crowded at all.

It was amazing. I definitely want to book through this site again!

If you're looking to enjoy snorkeling in Hawaii, I recommend this sea! The weather was cloudy, so I couldn't see the true blue of the ocean, but there were plenty of fish swimming around, which was a lot of fun. There is a dedicated shuttle car from the high point down to the beach, making it very convenient, although it might take some time to board if it's crowded. The beach in front of the hotel was also beautiful, but there weren't any fish swimming there, so I think it's worth coming here!

I don't speak much English, but I think it's fine to join an English tour if you use a translation app! Also, it might have just been a coincidence, but there were people on-site who spoke Japanese, which was reassuring! Next time, I want to participate when the weather is nice!

ハワイでシュノーケルを楽しむならこの海をおすすめします！
天気が曇りで本来の海の青さを見ることができませんでしたが、海の中はお魚がいっぱいで泳いでて楽しかったです。
高台から下のビーチまでは専用の移動カーがあり、とても楽でしたが、混雑していると乗るまで時間がかかるかもしれません。
ホテル前のビーチも綺麗で良かったですが、魚は1匹も泳いでいなかったので、ここに来る価値はあるかと思います！

英語はほとんど話せませんが、翻訳アプリを使えば英語ツアーでも大丈夫だと思います！
また、たまたまかもしれないですが、日本語が通じる方も現地におりましたので、心強かったです！今度は天気のいい時に参加したいです！

I was really looking forward to snorkeling at Hanauma since it had the highest ratings, but I found that other places in Hawaii had more abundant fish and coral. The weather was sunny, and there was a bit of wind, but the visibility was only about 3 meters, and the coral close to the beach was almost dead. I thought, "Well, if tourists come here every day, this is what happens." I apologize for my honest opinion, but the water in Izu, Japan, is much clearer.

ハナウマが1番評価高かったので、シュノーケリング楽しみにしてましたが、同じハワイの他の場所の方が魚やサンゴが豊富でした。
天気も晴れて、少し風はあったのですが、3Mも視界はなくて、サンゴも砂浜から近い場所はほぼ死んでいたので「そりゃ、観光客がこんな毎日来たらこうなるよな」と思いました。
正直な感想でごめんなさい。日本の伊豆の海の方が全然透明度高いです。

I wanted to go snorkeling in Hawaii, so I joined this tour. It was great that we could watch a video on the bus, allowing us to smoothly enter without waiting once we arrived. If you're traveling alone and find it difficult to make reservations, or if you won't be using a rental car during your stay, I recommend participating in this tour. There were Japanese staff members at the meeting point and after we arrived at the location, so I think it's easy for those who are not confident in their English to join. The snorkeling was wonderful, and I was able to enjoy the very clear ocean. There were many fish among the coral reefs on the left side!

ハワイでシュノーケリングがしたく、こちらのツアーに参加させていただきました。
バスの中で映像を見るので、着いてから待つことなくスムーズに中に入れたことが良かったです。
個人だと予約が取りにくいことや、滞在中レンタカーを使わない場合はこちらのツアーに参加されることをオススメします。
待ち合わせ場所や、現地に着いた後も日本人のスタッフの方がいらっしゃったので英語が苦手な方でも参加しやすいと思います。
シュノーケリングもとても透明感のある海でできてよかったです。左側の珊瑚礁の中には魚が沢山いました！

I participated in February 2026.

For the pickup, there was someone who understood Japanese, which made the check-in process smooth. The bus was a large tour bus with a clean interior. The video was in English, but there were Japanese materials available, which was helpful. Inside the bus, I received a wristband and entered under the guidance of the tour guide.

Since it was right after a state of emergency due to bad weather, I made the reservation at the last minute. The water was somewhat murky. Additionally, since it was a plan without a guide on the beach, I was a bit worried about whether I would see any fish, but it was more than enough! It was a lot of fun and became a precious memory!

I heard that making a reservation for entry on your own can be quite difficult, so choosing this plan with tickets was definitely the right decision!

2026年2月に参加しました。


行きのお迎えは、日本語のわかる方がいらっしゃってスムーズに受付することができました。

とっても楽しく、貴重な思い出になりました！　

入場予約を自力でとるのは大変らしいので、チケット付きのこちらのプランで大正解でした！

Since it was a tour, we only watched the educational video on the bus, and we were able to go to the beach without having to stand in long lines or wait after arriving. The trolley was also free and very smooth. It was the best!

ツアーだったので、教育ビデオもバスの中で見るだけで、到着してから長々と並んだり待ったりせずに、海に行けました。トローリーも無料で、とてもスムースでした。
最高です！

Friendly tour guides, excellent beach for snorkeling. All around good time.

It's completely different from Waikiki Beach. It's a very beautiful beach. The water is clear, and there are a lot of fish. The size of the fish is quite large. Compared to the tropical fish in the southern seas of Japan, they are much bigger. You absolutely should go snorkeling here. There weren't many corals, but if you go to the rocky areas, you can definitely see fish. The beachside has sand and grass. You can relax if you lay out a mat. This tour takes you to the site in about 30 minutes from the center of Waikiki in a nice bus. They also show a video on the bus, so when you arrive, you can skip various procedures and go straight to the beach. I highly recommend it to everyone.

ワイキキのビーチとは全然違います。とても綺麗なビーチです。水も透き通っているし、魚も沢山います。その魚のサイズが大きいのです。日本の南の海の熱帯魚に比べて、全然大きいのです。ここでは、絶対にシュノーケリングを行うべきです。サンゴはあまり存在しなかったけど、岩場に行けば魚を確実に見ることができます。ビーチサイドは砂地と芝生です。シートを引けばくつろげます。このツアーは綺麗なバスで、ワイキキの中心地から30分くらいで現地まで連れて行ってくれます。バスの中でビデオも見せてくれるので、到着したら色々な手続きを省略して、すぐにビーチに行くことができます。皆様にお薦めです。
