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 snorkelers might want to check with the lifeguard before venturing beyond to deeper waters to see sea turtles and other marine life. The Bay is least crowded in the early morning or late afternoon. Admission: non-resident adult visitors USD3, free to all others. Parking fee is USD1 per vehicle.

  • Well to sum it up in one word paradise.
  • Nothing bad about this place apart for the day has to end.

“I don't know how this is one of the 7 wonders of though world it is so beautiful so breath taking if you go to O'ahu you must take the drive to Hanuman Bay. the water is so clean and clear and you must snorkel its a must even if you have never done it before try it out.”

  • Great value with the Go Oahu Card, included admission, transportation and rental.
  • Nothing, it was beautiful. Concessions are expensive, so bring your own food!

“If you're going to Oahu, you must visit Hanauma Bay for snorkeling. The waters are clear, beautiful, and you can easily see the reef from the shoreline. We took a tour with the Go Oahu Card which brought us to the area from Waikiki. We were provided sun block, snorkel gear, and a video about the bay. It was outstanding. The area is a perfect place to picnic, shop and really enjoy the sun and the beauty around you. The crater was created from a volcanic crater collapsed. Now it's home to the most exotic marine life, most of it local to Hawaii. ”

  • Loved it. Water is clear. snoreling is great and the view is incredible.
  • Nothing negative about this place. I'd say the hill, but take the trolley.

“My most favorite place on the island. We were on Ohau for 8 days, we spent three full days here at this wonderful place. A definate must.”
