午後からの参加で天気は曇り。SAPを体験したくてレンタル。風が強くてブイの外まで流されそうになったが、スタッフのお兄さんがすぐにHELPに来てくれてサポートしてくれるので安心でした。シュノーケリングでは多くの魚がサンゴ礁の周りを泳いでいて水族館のよう。体が冷えた後は船内に戻り、サンドイッチで軽くランチ。スタッフのウクレレ&ギターの生演奏がとても上手で、盛り上げてくれました。船内は日本人客より外国人客(メキシカン、スパニッシュ、others)の方が多く、とても賑やかな雰囲気でした。もう少し晴天と風が緩やかであれば、もっと楽しめたかも。あと干潮時を調べていくと良いかも。

英語力のない私達でも不自由はありませんでした。オプションでパラソルを借りましたが、風が強く設置が大変でした。現地で借りるとスタッフがしっかりと設置してくれていました。ハナウマの海はワイキキより断然透明で美しかったです。子供はたくさんの種類の魚を見ることができ、とても喜んでいました。

Very limited instruction was given into how to use the mask and snorkel. Mine was all twisted up and none of the staff provided any assistance.
The reef area is choppy and murky making it very difficult to see. There were 4 other boats there so the area was quite crowded. We saw 1 turtle and a few fish. Pretty disappointing.
If you are looking for a magical reef experience then I suggest go somewhere else like the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.
Back on the boat we were offered 1 drink only even though the tour says 3 alcoholic drinks are provided.
Wouldn't recommend.

生演奏付きの船で15分、遠浅のエリアで2時間遊びました。
キャプテンやその他のスタッフがみんな陽気で楽しく、生演奏も雰囲気が良かったです。
お天気が曇りだったのですが、水も冷たくなくたっぷりアクティビティを楽しめました。
自力で行くのは難しそうだったので、ホテルまでの送迎をオプションで付けました。

ネット予約でチケットとっているのではなく当日チケットに並ぶとは思っていませんでした。が予定通りに行けたのでほぼ満足です。
時間的には6歳9歳の子供がいたので11時ピックアップでちょうどよかったと思います。担当の方も車中ずーと色々と説明、案内してくださっていました。他の日本人は翻訳アプリで聞いていましたが、翻訳アプリ使用しなかったので所々しかわからず。アプリを入れておけば良かったと思いました。子供たちにはとても楽しい時間になり印象に残ったようです。またお魚見に行きたいと行っています。

・家族4人で参加。大人2、子供2(9歳,6歳)。
・日常会話程度の英語力はあった方がいい。
・往復同じドライバーさんだった。チップは復路の降車後に渡した。
・少し天気が悪かったせいか、浜に上がると少し寒かった。子供は震えていた。
・浜から数メートルの浅瀬にしては多くの魚が見れたが、感動はなかった。

I don’t usually leave reviews unless it’s a really terrible experience OR an AWESOME ONE! Let me just start by saying my group & I did this on Thursday and we booked to go back on Saturday!!! That’s how amazing the crew and the experience was! Worth every penny.
We had an 8 yr old and she was able to enjoy the water too it’s deff kid friendly.
You can take your cooler with beer, drinks and snacks. The water is crystal clear and only like 3-4 ft tall. Take cash to tip the crew and live band, they’re ALL so awesome!!

私たち以外全て外国人のお客様なので、海外にいることを感じられ、とても楽しめるツアーです。当日、今日は最高の一日になる、との説明があり、期待して行くと、カメが海底でくっついて5~6匹寝ており、こんな光景は初めてでした。勿論、泳いでいるカメも何匹もいて、シュノーケル最中はカメだらけでした。こんなにもワイキキにカメがいるとは驚きでした。
シュノーケル後は、海外の有名な曲を聴きながら、ワイキキのホテルやダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めながらのクルージング。帆を上げてスピードアップをしながら、心地よい風と共にゆっくり過ごしました。
チップを忘れないで持っていって下さい。

Absolutely one of my favorite things that we did. Our guide Micky was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I would recommend this to anyone. We saw some cool sea life and had the opportunity to hold some sea creatures.

インストラクターのお二人とも親しみやすくて、すぐに打ち解けられました。海に入る前に観る映像の内容を事前に日本語で要約してくださって、またハナウマ湾の自然を心から愛していることが伝わってきました。受付や交通整理の人にも顔がきくようで、安心感もありました。
これまでハナウマ湾には2回アクティビティではなく個人で来たことがありましたが、初めての方はこちらのアクティビティを利用された方がいいと思いますし、2回目以降の方も楽しめると思います。

すごく混み合っている集合場所でアナウンスもないまま30分以上待たされました。でも、バスに乗ってからはいつもの楽しいツアー。80歳のおばあちゃんもクルーのサポートのおかげでたっぷり楽しめました!

We loved our snorkeling experience, our guides were always friendly and helpful. I had my two children with me with varying abilities and the guides were easily able to accommodate for them. We had a fantastic experience.

Everything from the transportation from our hotel with our driver/tour guide Kaplan, to our cruise and adventure with Captain Jason and his crew were fantastic! They were knowledgeable about the reef and sandbar, and were clearly passionate about its care. Snorkeling was great, and they took great care of those that couldn't swim well or needed extra help with the equipment. The activities on the sandbar were fun, and the ability to chill on the boat and enjoy the provided snacks & beverages was nice as well. In the way back to our hotel, Kaplan stopped to let us get Malasadas at Leonard's! Highly recommended... 10 out of 10!

So easy to access from the beach, and a short ride to the turtles. Loved how music playing from the catamaran allowed surfers to allow our exit and entry.
Great captain and deck hands, with turtles sighted during our trip
Highly recommend this tour.
5 stars.

悪くは無かったです。但し、ツアーの最後にコンダクターへのチップを請求されるのは、如何なものかと思います。それなら、最初からチップ代金込みで代金を組成した方が、チップ習慣が無い日本人としては納得できると思います。
ツアーにご参加及びレビューのご記入ありがとうございます。
ご意見のチップですが、チップはツアーにご参加頂いたお客様から、スタッフへのサービスに対してのお心づけとなりますので、ツアーご参加前にツアー代金に加算すことはできません。ツアー最後に楽しんで頂けたようでしたらお客様に金額を決めて頂きスタッフに渡して頂くのがチップとなります。日本にはない習慣になりますが、弊社はアメリカの会社になりますので、アメリカの習慣をご理解頂けたら幸いです。ご意見ありがとうございました。

あいにくの天気で多少寒かったですが
それでもサンドバーは美しく、ウミガメが
出迎えてくれました。
その後も沢山のウミガメが見られ、
シュノーケリング中多くの魚と出会い楽しかったです。安全にも万全を期していただきました。
ランチも美味しかったです。
ユキさんと船長に感謝です。

楽しみにしていたアクティビティ。
出港してまもなくイルカの群れに出会えました!
泳ぎは苦手ですがシュノーケリングも問題なく楽しめ、ウミガメを見ることもできました!
スタッフの方みんな賑やかで日本人の方もいたので安心して楽しめました!
ありがとうございました。

This was an excellent experience from start to finish! Dan promptly picked us up from our hotel and took us to Hanauma Bay. He took care of collecting all of our gear needed for snorkeling and had wet suits to rent if needed. Dan gave great instructions/tips to the group on how to snorkel. Dan and his partner then took us throughout the bay to the best sites to see the tropical fish. He even took pictures for us! I highly recommend this tour! It is an experience we won’t forget!
Thank you Kendra, you guys dud great!
Hope we see you again.
Dan and Chieko.

Hanauma Bay was a really great and fun experience. It's an early activity but the water isn't too bad, as it's quite easy to warmup in the ocean. The ride to Hanauma Bay from our pick-up location was prompt and comfortable and that genuinely enhanced the experience. The driver, Orlando, was very kind and informative.

This was such an awesome tour! This was my first time visiting Hawaii and this tour made it so much more special and memorable! I got to see so much marine life. I got to see a lot of sea turtles, fish, starfish, sea urchins, and even a seal lion. Robert and Andrew are amazing tour guides. They're very helpful and knowledgeable. I will definitely do this tour again when I come back to visit. I highly recommend this tour! You won't be disappointed!
I do recomend you bring a snorkel mask that has a GoPro mount on it so you can have your own videos.

This was a very cool tour! This was my friends and I first time visiting Hawaii and this tour made it very memorable for us! It was a lot of fun sitting on the net and getting splashed by the waves. The staff was super friendly and amazing. We got to see sea turtles and other marine life. Only downside is that there are other tour boats in the same location. So there's about a hundred people snorkeling in the water and it gets crowded super fast. People bumping and pushing each other or kicking each other in the water. Kinda felt like the scene in titanic lol. Other than that, it was a very cool tour! I'll definitely do it again when I plan my next trip!
I also recomend you bring a GoPro camera to take videos and photos.

What I LOVED:
- Available bins to store your items once on their boat [useful as a family member nearly dropped their phone overboard within seconds of sitting down]
- Included spam musubi and soft drinks
- PRESCRIPTION/Rx snorkeling gear [lifesaver as contacts are not an option while swimming and this is an amazing option that I never knew existed]
- Charismatic and protective crew [they keep the mood light and ensure you are well taken care of]
What I could change:
- Weather [though out of their control a lil extra sun wouldn't have hurt outside of a potentially bad sunburn]
Would I recommend this to others? Absolutely! I have already shared my positive experience with my extended family.
Aloha, thank you so much for choosing Captain Bruce and for taking the time to leave this fantastic review! Your feedback is very informational for us, especially as we work on adding more details about our amenities on the website for future guests. Definitely we will add the information that we have the prescription snorkeling masks for the guests! Again, Mahalo for your review, and we appreciate you recommending us to your extended family - that means a lot to us!
We hope to welcome you all back on board for another unforgettable Hawaiian experience soon!
A hui hou :)
