My family and I (2 adults, 2 children) had a great time exploring the sandbar and reef area with our captain/tour guide. We learned a lot about the history of the sandbar as well as got to enjoy the water and sandbar area. We got lucky with the weather since it rained earlier in the day. The provided snacks and musubis were excellent. We were sad when it ended, but brought back many memories.

ハナウマ湾の綺麗な海で、お2人のインストラクターさんに指導していただき、とても楽しくシュノーケリングができました
あまりにも綺麗な海でしたので、もっと長時間シュノーケリングしたかった!というのも同時に思いました。
安全/安心を考慮するとツアー参加でもちろん良いと思いますが、泳ぎ・体力にも自信あり、ハナウマ湾のルールを事前に確認されている方であれば、長時間のツアーや個人での参加も視野に入れて良いかと思いました

Our tour guide Dan was extremely helpful and supportive when my husband struggled with snorkeling. He and his partner helped him and even swam with him to help him feel comfortable.
I appreciated knowing that we were in good hands and they made sure we were all safe while having a great time! Very knowledgeable, personable and helpful Guide. We had an amazing time and Checked snorkeling off our bucket list. It was an easy and fun way to experience this as we were picked up and dropped off from our hotel and everything we needed was supplied.

自然を大切にしながら自然を楽しむ勉強になりました。魚もたくさん見れて最高でした。一般の入場が予約制で混雑するのでツアーに参加して良かったです。

早朝6時前からのツァーで10時ごろホテルに帰れます。ガイドの方とても親切で満足です。細かいところまでお世話いただき初めての方でも安心して参加できます。潮に流されそうになったらすぐに手を引いて引き戻していただきました。海から上がった時にいただいたスナックがスパイシーで美味しかった。写真もたくさん撮っていただきました♪
しかし、日本人には値段がお高め、更にチップ必要なのは負担です。円安やハワイの物価を考えると仕方ないのですが。次回は円高の時に伺います笑

3月22日に家族で参加させて頂きました。
ダンさんにガイドして頂きました。日本語がとても上手で冗談も面白く移動中も楽しく過ごす事が
出来ました。ダンさんは、どうしたら喜んでくれるか、楽しんでくれるかを考えてくれる方だと感じました。
ハナウマ湾 凄い綺麗でした。お昼寝しているアザラシも見れて良い思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。

Although the weather may impact your experience on this cruise, the crew doesn't let it get in the way of making it fun! The music blastic, if the rain is pouring they will make sure the boat feels the waves so that everyone can groove!
Everyone loved the ride and enjoyed the beautiful views of Honolulu from way past the swimming point of the shore! The crew is entertaining and fun!

午前中に最干潮が重なっていてリーフを迂回しながらうまくハナウマ湾を横断しながらのツアーでした。残念ながらカメは潮が低すぎるので、見える場所には入ってこれないそう。かわりに沢山の魚を見ることが出来ました。ダンさんの分かりやすい説明を聞いてからスタート。子供たちには適宜サポートがあり、自分も景色を楽しみながらのスノーケルができました。

不慣れな子供達の手を引きながらシュノーケルしていただいたので、親も安心しました。
浅瀬でも、たくさんの鮮やかな魚が見られてとても良い時間が過ごせました!
砂浜にアザラシが寝そべっていて、かなりレアケースだったみたいでラッキーでした!
ガイドの夫妻は、とても気さくな方で、写真を撮ってくださったり、細やかな説明などもしていただき良かったです。
次
ハワイに行くことがあれば、またお願いしたいです。

Overall the experience was amazing! It was a first for both my husband and I and the kids. The crew did a fantastic job. They provided clear instructions, ensuring we were all safe and had many opportunities to see the sea turtles among a plethora of wildlife along the reef. I would not hesitate to book this again.
I do think it was a bit disorganized with adults and children going down the ladders and then needing to come right back up, leaving patrons that had not had a chance to get in the water a 10 min leg time.
Also, a female crew member was wearing a thong bikini bottom which I have no problem with - wear one!! However, the male crew members continued to smack her bottom or spray it with the defogger. I’m not sure that the female crew member cared but definitely not acceptable now a days!

30年前は自由な入場、餌やりOKだったのでビーチに魚がたくさんいましたが、現在はシステムが変更になったようですね。
2月のハワイということもあり気温が低く、スーツが無いと厳しい環境でした。ガイドさんは在住日本人夫婦で大変親切でしたが、想像していたよりも魚は少なく少し残念でした。
ただ、ハナウマは素晴らしいスポットですので是非訪れた方がいい場所には違いありません。

We were worried about the distance to Turtle Island, but it was close enough that there were no problems. The ship's departure point was Waikiki Beach, making it very easy to find. We enjoyed ourselves without realizing the passage of time, watching many fish and turtles. The friendly staff guided us safely and helped us see the turtles better. It was fantastic! Refreshing drinks and great music added to the atmosphere.

急遽、家族全員で参加出来なくなり、次男と2人だけの参加でしたが、ベテランガイドの方のお陰で気持ち良くハナウマ湾を満喫出来ました!
この度はツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございました。
ぜひ次回はご家族皆様ご一緒に来て下さいね。いつでもお待ちしております!!
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!! Chieko

波が高く内海のみでしたが、逆に内海に海亀が入ってきてくれて、とても楽しめました。準備、講習、着替えがあるので泳ぐのは1時間程度ですが、結構ふらつきます。ガイドさんは日本語の話せるDさんと日本人のCさん2名で、とてもフレンドリーに対応してくれます。

The crew was super friendly, accommodating, efficient and fun to be around.
The snorkelling was as expected - lots of people, and commercial but we got to check off swimming with sea turtles off our bucket list on our final day on the island
Gear was clean and in great condition. The boat was immaculate and the drinks were flowing and the adult ones were strong!!

Went for spring break and had an amazing time. SHOUT OUT TO CALEB NICOLE AND NOAH they were an awesome and attentive crew! Definitely would recommend, we saw at least 2 different turtles and a whole bunch of different schools of fish. The boat was super nice and we got nice pictures. we had perfect snorkeling weather too!

冬のハワイの海はウエットスーツ必須ですよ、とのことだったのでもう先にツアー料金に組み込んで頂き、追加料金の発生が無いと便利だなと思った。ハワイもシュノーケルも初心者だったため、ウエットスーツは頼まずツアー希望していた。ゆっくりペースでとても深いところまで行ったりしてすごく貴重な体験をした。子供達も印象的だったようで、怖かったけどお魚さん見れた!と興奮していた。

We have been to Hawaii several times and this was the first time we took the fireworks catamaran sail and it did not disappoint. The crew was FANTASTIC, drinks were great, music was fantastic, and seeing the fireworks and the Waikiki shoreline at night is beautiful. We had so much fun and would do it again!

The water was a little cold so we got out of the water sooner than we would have wanted, and so we didn’t see as much as we had hoped to. But we had fun and would do it again. Hopefully next time we will see more.

Departure from Waikiki so accessible to those that decide to not rent a car. They depart 2x / day and you are able to do walk-ins if there is room.
Very affordable too, with an open bar that operates on tips.
Friendly for solo travelers. You can relax on the nets of the catamaran and the views of Waikiki and Diamond Head are beautiful.
No sea life spotted during my trip, but I would definitely go again!

シュノーケリング初めてでしたが、とても素敵な思い出になりました!
ガイドさんで日本人の方がいるため、英語が苦手な私にはとても助かりました。
初心者の方に合わせて一緒に泳いでくださったり、ご丁寧な説明のおかげで終始楽しくシュノーケリングが出来ました!
また参加する機会がありましたら、よろしくお願いします!

The captain (Chris) and crew (Athena, Jeff, and Beau) were outstanding - so kind and laid back, very helpful in selecting a spot to send off my parents' ashes. The catamaran was beautiful and a lovely ride - we even got to do a little whale watching while we were out. It was fantastic to be able to include so many family members on the cruise - plenty of room. The waters were calm and clear, it was a perfect day and perfect way to say goodbye.

The crew was nice. The cost was to include 3 Mai Tais. Whatever they served us was not Mai Tais. They didn’t look or taste like Mai Tais, no juices or dark rum.
We had fun but they need to improve the drinks and actually provide Mai Tais not something they concocted with white rum
And ginger ale. What we got was not what we paid for.
