Hanauma Bay

Beautiful! Make sure to get there early as they are currently only allowing 1500 visitors per day!

Nice nature preserve thay has some pretty good snorkeling. You can see a variety of species here. Bring your snorkel gear, some, and plenty of water. There is a fee for parking and admission.

Worst experience ever. 3 and a half “dead” fish. Line is huge last bus to get out of the beach at 3:15 so u have to climb the uphill no matter how u feel about it and they let us in at 1pm after waiting for two hours in masks under the sun. Just waisted my day for nothing at all. Also u can’t drink and no smoking spots...

The worst experience because of the rude staff.

Gorgeous beach, amazing snorkeling (if shallow in many parts, so experience floating just a foot or so above rocks and coral is helpful). Definitely worth the $2.50 for the all-day tram up/down service, otherwise it's a somewhat steep 1/4 mile walk up and down. Bathrooms and showers are beachside, as is a snorkel gear and locker rental location. Lifeguards, too, to keep an eye on things and keep folks away from the rip currents.
