I had no diving experience, so I was really worried before we left about whether I’d be able to dive properly in Hanauma Bay, but thanks to the Japanese guide’s attentive support, it turned out to be fine even for a beginner. We started from the beach, moving slowly in water where I could touch the bottom, so I was able to relax and enjoy looking at the underwater world. I got to swim alongside beautiful fish, and I’m so glad I took the plunge and joined the tour.

Diving at Hanauma Bay was seriously amazing lol. The guide was so nice, and I got totally hyped up underwater! The fish were so beautiful, and my friends and I had the time of our lives lol. Since you can enter from the beach, it wasn't scary at all, and with the round-trip transportation included, the value was incredible! If you're going to Hawaii, you should definitely sign up for this lol.

We used this service for a trip with my boyfriend, and it turned into the best memory ever. Diving together in the beautiful waters of Hanauma Bay and seeing the colorful fish was pure bliss♪ My boyfriend tried scuba diving for the first time and was all smiles the whole time. The Japanese guide taught us gently, and since we could enter the water slowly right from the beach, it made for a truly satisfying date. It was also reassuring that transportation was included.

I used this shop during my last visit to Hawaii, and this time I came back to book the Hanauma Bay introductory diving tour. As always, the Japanese guide provided attentive service, and diving in those crystal-clear waters is a truly amazing experience no matter how many times I come. The transportation support is also excellent, making it easy to participate with peace of mind, so I’m grateful that the experience lived up to my expectations. I’d love to use their services again.

I do not have a scuba diving license, but I am very happy to experience the underwater world easily. Even if you don't go deep, the experience of being surrounded by a lot of fish is exceptional. The instructor took care of everything from setting up the equipment, so I could concentrate on just having fun. Next time, I would like to have enough time to take pictures underwater!

I do not have a diving license, but I wanted to try diving once, so I applied for it. I did not have to worry about seasickness because of the beach entry. The instructor was always close by, so I didn't feel scared even when the water got deeper. I was impressed by the blue world, which is completely different from the view from the surface of the water! It was such a wonderful experience that I would consider getting a license next time.

The introductory diving experience at Hanauma Bay offers excellent water clarity and is a great value for beginners. The Japanese guide provided attentive guidance, and the included transportation was very convenient. However, if I had to mention one thing, since it’s a nature reserve, the admission process takes a little time, and because you’ll be walking on the sandy beach, I recommend wearing comfortable sandals. Overall, I was satisfied with the support provided.

Next, we received a thorough briefing on the beach about how to use the equipment and breathing techniques, then slowly entered the water from the shallow area where we could still touch the bottom. Finally, we swam among the colorful tropical fish in the crystal-clear waters and fully immersed ourselves in the mystical beauty of nature. Although it was my first time diving, it was a truly wonderful tour.
