Hanauma Bay Park

Hanauma Bay Park. Hanauma Bay was a great experience, lots of beautiful fish and even saw a sea turtle. If you ever go to the Big Island (Kailua-Kona) there is a free beach where I went snorkeling and it was just amazing. I thought it was better than Hanauma Bay,I bet I saw at least thirty different fish within an hour and the coral reef was beautiful (it is free, that's the best part.)…

I miss this place!. I loved it! So many fish to see. It was easy walking down to the beach area from the parking lot. THe hardest part about the trip was parking since we didn't want to drive in the first place but iddn't want to take the public bus. If we didn't drive we wouldn't have been able to stay for so long! Loved the Hanauma Bay beach!…

Rent Gear and Swim with Fishes. I've been to Hanauma Bay twice now. A great visit each time. My gf and I took her neice snorkeling out here this last trip. We came early in the morning and there were clouds and a few showers at 9a. Then again, its hawaii in the winter for you. We waited it out since we already secured a parking spot. The sun came out sporatically during the day and it got a tad crowded. My gf's neice enjoyed all the snorkeling and sea life she saw. A lot of the coral can be seen without having to go too deep. The gear is only $9 for the upgrade. I don't recommend coming here just to lay out. You can do that up and down the coast without having to pay the $5 to watch the video and $1 for parking. Oh, and when we left about 1230p, the lot was already closed. Bring snacks too since the walk up to the snack bar is time consuming.…

Spend a day snorkeling in the pristine waters of a magnificent half-moon-shaped bay.. In Short
Formed by a volcano that erupted and then collapsed into the sea, the bay is home to a complex crater that hosts a bonanza of marine life. Oahu's best snorkeling is as good as it gets, with hundreds of tropical fish and corals. If you're not too dazzled to come up for air, the large, sandy beach is perfect for sunbathing. For a different perspective, explore one of several nearby hiking trails that lead to breathtaking vistas. A designated landmark since 1967, the marine park is well-equipped with amenities, including outdoor showers, restrooms and picnic tables. Get there early, (by 8am) because the number of visitors is limited and once the parking lot is full, you're out of luck.…
