Because my husband was in a conference, we could only go in the afternoon but it worked out fine. It is a long trip on the 22 bus from Waikiki but an entrepreneurial cab driver pulled up the bus stop and offered to bring us for $5 pp - Great deal! We got there at 2PM and there was no... more

We set off early in our rental car or so we thought that we were early!!! Once we got here (had a few stops along the way), we arrived at 9.40am and the officer at the entrance just waved us on. I asked her how could we get in and she said that you have to keep driving up and... more

We went to Hanauma Bay because my husband was nervous about snorkeling for only the 2nd time. This place is VERY non-threatening AND has great fish. We saw dozens and dozens of different kinds of fish - lots of colors. The water is VERY salty, which makes snorkeling easy because you float easily. Yes, it costs $7.50 pp (plus $1... more

We visited Hanauma Bay 15 years ago and loved it but things have changed quit a bit. They have done alot of changes. The coral and fish are not as spectacular, perhaps all the construction is effecting the coral reef. Also, there used to be just a parking fee and it was not expensive. The entrance fee of $7.50 per... more

I went to Hanauma Bay later in the afternoon hoping to miss the crowd and it was perfect! We got there watched a short video everyone has to watch before going down to the beach about the different kinds of fish and some general rules, it was actually not too much of a bore and really informative. Then we got... more

We had an excellent recent trip to Oahu island - Hawaii. The whole idea behind the trip was to check out the island and to snorkel at hanauma bay. We started out our first day on island with visiting the Hanauma bay. I say going their early is the only way to be able to get in the parking lot.... more

Hanauma Bay is very beautiful and the snorkelling is a lot of fun and you will see tons of fish, and maybe some other sealife. But if you are going to Maui and The Big Island you will probably be able to hit up some much better snorkle/dive sites and not pay nearly as much getting their, getting in, and... more
