Hanauma Bay Tips | Oahu, Hawaii
Come explore one of the best places to snorkel on Oahu. We'll show you how to get there, how to find turtles, and answer all your questions along the way.
First things first, Hanauma Bay is CLOSED ON TUESDAYS. Always. No exceptions. Plan accordingly.
Also, make sure your sunscreen is reef safe.
Hanauma Bay is on the far southeast corner of Oahu. It's some of the best snorkeling and one of the best beaches in all of Hawaii, not just on Oahu. It was voted Best Beach in the US in 2016. And we can vouch for the snorkeling - it's incredible! So many fish and such a large area to explore so it doesn't seem overcrowded. There are also plenty of areas that are shallow enough to stand if you're not a strong swimmer (only stand on the sandy areas, never stand on rocks or coral). But there are lots of deeper areas to explore as well. Such a great variety of fish, coral, and depths.
GETTING THERE
Shuttle:
You can book a shuttle straight from Waikiki hotels. Check out their site for that info.
Taxi:
It's like $40-$50 from Waikiki. Hard pass.
Drive yourself:
If you have a rental car, it's $1 to park. There are only 300 spots and it will be full by 8am for sure. If you can't go early, go after lunch when people start to leave.
Take the bus:
Buses are $2.75 per ride or $5.50 for an all-day pass. Tell the bus driver what you want (one way or all day) before you pay.
The only bus that goes to Hanauma Bay is Route 22. We suggest getting on as early in the route as possible. It starts in Waikiki near the intersection of Ala Moana and Kalakaua. The bus was completely full before we got to the zoo and we started skipping bus stops that were full of people wanting to get on. The bus will take about 35-45 minutes from Waikiki. See all the bus details here:
If you're not in Waikiki, you can take the Route 2 bus from Honolulu to Waikiki. Get off at Kalakaua and walk over a block to the first bus stop. You should see a few other people who are obviously going to the beach.
Snorkel with turtles:
We showed this in the video, but in case you didn't catch it, if you want to see a turtle while snorkeling in Hanauma Bay, look for groups of people hovering in the same spot. 9 times out of 10, they're all staring at a turtle. Feel free to swim near the turtles, but do not touch them.
If you have any other questions, ask us in the comments below. We respond to everything. :)
Thanks for watching!

Hanauma Bay Snokeling Tips - Fish - Sea Turtles
Hanauma Bay snorkeling tips. See the best place to snorkel in Oahu Hawaii. Hanauma Bay State Park is a great place to take kids snorkeling in O'ahu and it is not too far from Waikiki Beach. Hanauma Bay was formed by an ancient volcano, so it is very unique. The beach, which is one of the best beaches in Hawaii and the world, is also protected from the large surf around Hawaii. The water is clear for snorkeling.
We saw these great fish and sea animals on our dive in Hawaii
Bird Wrasse Fish
Spotted Boxfish
Unicorn Fish
Convict Tangs and other tang fish
Reef Triggerfish
Spectacled Parrotfish and many other types of Parrotfish
Milkfish or Ladyfish
and cometfish.
There were also crabs, sea turtles, sea slugs, sea urchins and much more sea life to explore at the Bay.
We also have many tips for visiting. There are parking tips at Hanauma Bay, snorkel gear rental tips and how to help protect the sea animals and marine ecosystem in Hanauma Bay.

Hanauma Bay (Oahu Hawaii)
This video is of our trip to Hanauma Bay in Hawaii (Oahu). We loved the snorkeling here. When researching this place online, the number 1 tip was to get there early. First of all, if you get there before 7am there is no parking fee or admission fee. In addition, you do not need to sit through a short film about protecting the coral reef. In addition, the water is clearest in the morning as droves of people enter this park throughout the day and kick up sand making the water murky.
