Awesome Experience

Rick_G, Apr 2024

Kiamana Tours staff was very helpful. Our goal was to have a nice snorkeling experience at Hanauma Bay. Mission accomplished! Kiamana Tours, where we picked up the gear, was very informative and nice. They answered all of our questions. From Waikiki Beach to Kiamana Tour is less than 10 miles away. Kiamana Tour is about 1.6 miles from Hanauma Bay. Your basic tours to see marine life averages around $80-$150 per person. If you want to save a couple of bucks and spend the day at Hanauma Bay, this is the way to go.

Bad advertising

CAROLANN_F, Jul 2023

First of all you need to explain the process in your advertising! Pur experience was exhausting to say the least. First you told me to cancel. Y reservation because I was driving. So I rented equipment. The man would note us in. Then he did. Lady told us we had to wait until 1240 to go. It was 9am. We had another engagement at 2pm. There was no way we would have made that. So it appears that we were on stand by. Actually I got into trouble because I actually drove in. We were outby 11am. Bad bad advertising.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Aloha, When renting snorkeling equipment we have no association to Hanauma Bay, it just states we are located near the Bay. You're free to snorkel wherever on the island. We are simply a snorkel shop. Thank you for your feedback but I believe this review was better meant for Hanauma Bay Park.

We didn't get to snorkel.

Ramona_K, Jul 2023

The people at the dive shop were lovely and helpful. Unfortunately you have to have a reservation for the mandatory video training to be allowed in the water. That has to be made in advance with the park service, then it's $25 cash per person to snorkeling in Hanauma bay plus parking ( also cash only). Get all those things in place before you rent your gear.

Nice Staff

wilson_a, Jun 2023

very friendly and nice staff. was a little difficult to find the location through waze once its an open mall with different entrances.

They made our trip to Hanauma Bay easier

Leslie_B, May 2023

Good customer service. Helpful tips. They helped us make our day trip to Hanauma Bay easier. Called me and asked what I needed when I emailed them. And great service when we went to the store. The email to pick up the gear was detailed and helpful.

Great experience.

Sarah_K, Mar 2023

I found that renting the gears for snorkelling and then paying park tickets is a lot cheaper than doing a whole tour. The snorkelling gear was good quality and if you go early , you avoid the crowds. Hanauma bay is absolutely stunning and the fish 🐟 variety is fantastic

I just wasted my money....

JIHYANG_K, Dec 2022

I just wasted my money. The option was so tricky, lack of info. They did not refund. Never use this site.

Response from Host, Dec 2022

Sorry that you didn’t read the product description before you buy. The VIATOR website explain very well before customers complete the booking. This package is a snorkel gear rental and you made this booking overnight.When we opened our store our attendant called you to reconfirm that you are coming 7:30 am ( the time your voucher states)but you never answered our phone call. You sent the email saying that you drove to the other place, and we told you to come to our store, that we have everything ready for you, but you didn’t come. That’s the reason for no refund.

Horribly Disappointing. Wasted Time and Money

Ricardo_F, Nov 2022

Did not get a chance to use the snorkel gear, (waste of money spent) What appeared to be city officials were only allowing entrance to groups of 50 people at a time, creating a bottleneck with approx 500 people just waiting on the grass, very disorganized event, tried to patiently wait for almost 2 hours to get into the beach . Whilst getting scolded by city officials to not step on the grass, rock or trees, getting yelled at for trying to pass the time by playing catch with my son on what would have been our father & son bonding time whilst snorkeling. Disappointing

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Aloha We are really sorry about your experience at Hanauma Bay state park.Our shop just rent the gears to ours customers and they can snorkel there or another beaches.It’s out our hands how they operate there, since we aren’t located inside the park. We hope we can see you in the future, aloha!

Helpful!

Regina_Z, Oct 2022

Staff was super helpful and informative! Gave us tips to make our trip enjoyable. We were able to see a variety of fish on our snorkel trip.

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Karina_B, Jul 2022

Equipment was in good condition, they gave us life jackets with it which helped us to have even a better time snorkeling. The experience was great!

Response from Host, Jul 2022

So glad you had a good time Karina!! Hope to see you again

We love it

JessieP_Z, Jul 2022

We all enjoyed snorkeling and the equipment was great. Customer service was excellent. Mahalo for all your service ;)

Awesome!

Debbie_G, Jun 2022

We had a great time and renting the scuba equipment was so easy online! Great customer service and minutes from Hanauma Bay!

Subpar customer service

Mackenzie_W, Jun 2022

The most horrible thing about this is that the company called me prior to the service date to tell me to be at the park at 7:30(opening time 8am). Ok cool, we go to the park at 6:30 to be safe bc we are not locals and understand this is a popular excursion. However, the company never mentioned to be I would be picking up my snorkel equipment outside of the park. Outside of the park. I had to say it again bc with a family of 6 to purchase something that is not located in the park is a CRUCIAL AND VITAL pertinent information. So- there was no snorkel gear rental. So- in conclusion when the company calls, PLEASE be sure to let them know that. Absolutely horrible. And when I confronted the woman and let her know she did not tell me that information, she argues with me. Subpar customer service.

Response from Host, Jun 2022

Aloha, We are sorry that you didn’t have time to read your voucher after you purchased it. The voucher clearly states our store’s address and on the website you purchased these tickets at, it says that we are 5 minutes before Hanauma Bay and restates our address. One day before we call all of our customers as a friendly reminder, since customers already have all the information on their voucher since Viator already sends a text/email. We are sorry for this misunderstanding and we have refunded 50% back.

Tens across the board.

Cory_H, Feb 2022

The people who work here are extremely nice, as to expect in paradise. They took care of us generously and even gave us a ride to our destination and picked us up for a small fee that was worth every penny. Even gave a few tips on where to go next for our adventure. Highly recommend, would happily come back on our next Hawaii trip. Which is hopefully sooner than later.

Easy pick up

Cheryl_N, Sep 2021

Very easy pick up and drop off Better than standing in long lines there Lady at snorkel gear was very friendly and helpful
