Hanauma Bay is absolutely amazing. It is gorgeous and the snorkeling is great. We saw probably 10 different kinds of fish and were able to take great pictures of them. It's very easy...

The reef is RIGHT at the beach! Wow! Great beginner snorkeling - user review
We are not experienced snorkelers - and Hanauma was great because the underwater sightseeing begins RIGHT off the beach! The only downside - because it's SO SHALLOW, you can't stand anywhe...

Loved It! - user review
This was my first experience at snorkelling. The best way to describe it is magnificent. It is great for beginners because you just swim off the shore, especially good for those who are...

Hunauma Bay Nature Preserve - user review
On our first full day on the island, we headed to Hunauma Bay Nature Preserve. Edged by a 2,000-foot golden beach, Hanauma Bay is Oahu?™s prime snorkeling destination. I had read to arrive early, but it took longer than we expected to reach the park. We arrived at 9:45am and did not have a problem p...

IgoUgo: HANAUMA BAY NATURE PARK - Honolulu, Hawaii - user review
Famed for its beautiful horseshoe-shaped sandy beach and clear, calm turquoise waters, this natural marine sanctuary is home to thousands of colorful tropical fish. The waist-deep water inside the reef is perfect for novice snorkelers to explore. More experienced snorke...

Not What It Used To Be - user review

HANAUMA BAY NATURE PARK - user review
This park has changed quite a bit since I visited there, first as a child, then as an adult. At one time guests of the park were allowed to feed the fish with corn and peas while scuba diving or snorkeling--now however you are allowed to just watch. Even still though, this is an amazing feeling, jus...

Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve - expert review
The exterior wall of a volcanic crater collapsed, opening it to the sea and thereby giving birth to O'ahu's most famous snorkeling destination. Even from the overlook, the horseshoe-shape bay is a beauty, and you can easily see the reefs through the clear aqua waters. The wide beach is a great place...

Don't trust the advertisement, nice view but not worth it!! - user review
Can you imagine paying 5$ to enter the beach. Okay, that's fine if you get what you expect for. However, it's just wasting your money because there is nothing much to see instead of ro...

What a disappointment! - user review
Returning after 15 years to experience what we enjoyed years ago became a major disappointment. 15 years ago the fish came to you...anyone could be standing a foot from the shore...

Fantastic, even when murky! - user review
It's a dollar to park (if you drive) and another $5 to get in, then you watch a video about preserving the reef. After that, you walk down to the beach. Rentals go anywhere from $5-$10 per per...

The Dragon's Hole at Hanauma - user review
What a place Hanauma Bay must have been, once upon a time. Surely no more perfect representation of an island paradise ever existed, in the days before tourists speckled the perfect curve of its beach, polluting the peaceful cove with their radios, junk food, and boogie boards. Such is the fate of a...

Hanauma Bay - user review
My biggest words of advice are... go early! When we arrived at about 10:30am, the lot was completely full and they weren't letting anyone in. We were disappointed. We weren't planning on snorkelling, but I had wanted to take some photos. We drove further on, got out at some scenic points further alo...
