Was a little nervous because I have never really enjoyed putting my face under water but Amber made me feel relaxed and comfortable. She was knowledgeable and you could tell that she enjoyed her job. Would recommend you tie your hair back so as to keep it out of your face. Had a wonderful experience.

We heard we had to try snorkeling on our first trip to Hawaii but neither of us are super-confident swimmers, especially not in the ocean. If that sounds like you, START HERE. This snorkeling experience ended up being just right for two reasons 1) excellent instructor, Zola and 2) excellent location, Magic Island Lagoon. I was excited to try snorkeling, but when it came time to put the mask on, stick my face in the water, and breathe - I couldn't do it. After patient and friendly coaching from Zola, I was finally floating around and breathing under water. I owe it to Zola that I felt ready to sign up for another, more challenging, snorkeling tour later in the week where I got to see more fish and turtles. The location is this peaceful, blue and beautiful lagoon that's protected from the ocean's strongest waves by a barrier. The water is clear and just lovely to swim in. I would go back just to enjoy the beach.

They called to let me know I needed passes to Hanauma Bay (which I didn't realize). This saved our whole day because I didn't realize I had to be there so early to secure 4 tickets to the park which sell out by 8:30 am (latest). This info was a life saver as we showed up to rent our snorkelling gear by 7:30 and were at the park before 8am to secure walk-up tickets. Tip: get your tickets to Hanauma Bay online at 7am 2 days in advance (they sell out in 2 minutes). Then you don't have to wait in line at the park on the day of.
Great place!!

We wanted to snorkel without taking a boat ride. This was a great option. Our party of 3 (grandparents with granddaughter) were all beginners to snorkeling. They provided nice equipment so we didn’t need to purchase anything. The instructor, Ryan, was very knowledgeable. He showed us how to wear the items properly. He taught us the simple steps of snorkeling - breathing through the tube and floating. The lagoon was a perfect, protected place. We saw many different fish and sea creatures. Ryan’s patience with beginners was much appreciated. This was money well spent for an experience we will never forget.

Liz was our instructor/guide and she was awesome! She made sure that we were comfortable in water all the time. She helped us see fish and shells. She took great videos for us to take home. Also, she found a sea urchin skeleton for my son to take home as a souvenir! Thank you so much, Liz! We had a great time! :)

We are a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 kids 9yr old and 6yr old). Instructor was very patient enough to guide us how to snorkel. He provided us some tricks to make snorkeling easier for beginners. He was always there to help us out and made us feel comfortable. Except for my spouse everyone else in the group are non-swimmers, the instructor helped us navigate through the water, and to top it he took amazing videos of us while snorkeling :)

I would definitely recommend this again, and then take that experience and go to a better snorkeling location.

Ricki was very patient and helpful in making our (my wife & my) first time snorkeling experience so good. My wife didn't know swimming but Ricki's tips helped put her at ease and she enjoyed it as well. Due to the small group nature of the tour, fortunately there was only 2 of us and we had lots of fun. Saw lots of fishes and reef. Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for beginner lessons.

I have to admit that this being my first time snorkeling, I had never been so scared and nervous in my WHOLE life!!
Zola, our instructor, was extremely patient and caring throughout the entire experience. Even through I had to concentrate extremely hard with breathing and using my flippers, I was SO proud of myself and I couldn't have done it without him.
Ask for Zola for the snorkeling tour, you wont' be sorry. You will be in terrific hands!

My now fiancé loves mermaids. So I knew she would love to do this. She absolutely loved swimming with the tail on and the photo shoot we did was absolutely hilarious. If you’re a guy, you will probably have to swallow some ego here but it’s worth it. Ricki the instructor is amazing. We swam and then I popped the question overlooking diamond head. Great for all ages.

This was so fun! We were totally new to snorkeling and a bit intimidated!
Dan, our guide, was patient and kind. He encouraged us and told us we had all day if needed.
After 10 minutes or so, we felt confident and ready. We saw two turtles, a moray eel, a tuna “tornado”,
And more fish than you can imagine. We snorkeled til we were too tired to go on! We are hooked.
Thanks, Dan!

Dan was our instructor. Awesome!! Cyndi was a first-timer; in fact, can not swim. Dan taught her how to be comfortable in the water, took her hand, guided her around the Bay. She loved it, sparked us on to additional snorkel trips on this vacation. Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this excursion for all qualities of snorkelers.
Thanks Jim, glad you had fun and did some more snorkeling. See you next time. Dan.

シュノーケリング二回目、一人ではクロールしかできず深いところは不安のあるなかでのツアー参加でした。
口コミから、みなさんが楽しく参加されているのを拝見して参加しました。寒い海は嫌いだし、泳ぎは苦手で直前までやめたい気持ちでいっぱいでしたが、ガイドさんが本当に丁寧に息の仕方など教えてくださり、ボディスーツのレンタルもあり、楽しく泳ぐことができました!
慣れてきたら沖に出てカメを探しに行きましたが、その時にはもうスイスイいくことができました!
ハナウマ湾は最高の場所でシュノーケリングもビーチも最高なのはもちろんですが、ガイドさんも最高です!おすすめです!
またハワイ行ったときは参加します!
