CLEAR WATER, BEAUTIFUL CORALS, HUNDREDS OF FISH
Go snorkeling at a marine conservation area and see more wild, marine life in a beautiful bay about a ½ an hour drive from Waikiki. Limited parking happens so get the shuttle and gear for a 5 hour adventure you will not soon forget.
You will need to reserve ahead of time for the actual tickets to Hanauma Bay. This only provides shuttle service due to the limited number of parking spaces available at the bay. Please reserve your tickets with the Department of Land and Natural Resources first. Book them here two days before. The tickets sell out quickly.
