About the Bay
Situated along the southeast coast of the Island of Oʻahu in the Hawaii Kai neighborhood of East Honolulu, Hanauma is a marine embayment formed within a tuff ring. Recognized as one of the Island's top tourist destinations, Hanauma Bay has, unfortunately, experienced challenges due to excessive tourism. In its prime, this sought-after location welcomed over three million visitors annually. In 1956, dynamite was employed to clear sections of the reef, creating space for telephone cables linking Hawaii to the west coast of the US.

Thanks for your honest review. The tram was nice, and nice there are lifeguards - but $25 seems a bit steep. I still thought you got some cool footage even if the water was murky. When I went to Hawaii we were on other islands besides Oahu, but we had really great snorkeling at several places just off the shoreline for free.

Mind blowing..... Thanks for posting as I had heard some of this. I lived North Shore 65-66 and spent Summer of 73 there. I know the bay as free, no reservations and open Sunrise to Sunset. It was a nice bit of paradise. Looking at you tube travel videos' I am just Astonished. There are far, far too many tourists at any given time. I don't see any realistic solution. Everywhere on the island! Gonna check out some of your other videos...

Glad you enjoyed it!!! I totally do understand about trying the crowd, but I just think that there is a better way to manage the reservation system.

I’m not quite sure. But if you’re looking for interesting things to do that are inexpensive on Oahu can watch this video. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/frtim6WS35bTin0.htmlsi=gu_fgZJQHwn6OyYw Thank you for watching

Do you know if they rent life vests/flotation devices there?

@chasingadeline 4 ай бұрын

I’m not sure 🤔 but what I recommend is renting off site were it’s a lot cheaper. Here is what I found kaimanatours.com/snorkel-gear-beach-rentals/ Thanks for watching our video

That's changed since I was there

Yes, I’ve had a few people telling me that in the comments. Thank you for watching our video.

Sounds expensive and then you have to pay to park as well. Okay it does look really nice but too much hassle for me, too many people and then you have to watch the time, not for me, no matter how nice it is. Cheers Alan

Yes, I am in total agreement with you, Alan!! it was a tourist trap. Also what I didn’t mention the video is that they sell tours for people to come on buses and they’re not cheap, so what happens is the capacity of the bay is reach really quickly and that’s why it’s really hard for individuals to find a slot.

@@chasingadelinewe were in Oahu last Sunday and at 7am sharp, I tried to reserve for Wednesday and had no luck. Every time I select a time slot, entered my info, it said not available after clicking done (or something like that). We didn’t get to go and my kids didn’t want to walk in at 6:45am to try to get a ticket.

From what I see everything is expensive

I went last week I decided to cancel that experience. Went to sharks cove instead in north shore. Had a great time for free

Thank you for watching. Yes there’s some great snorkeling you can do and it’s free. I think this place was a little bit overrated. I wouldn’t do it again.

Same went to sharks cove and had an amazing time. Saw a huge parrot fish and a big turtle swam right up to my wife and I.

It's murky and underwhelming because unfortunately it's overcrowded and because people keep wearing sunscreen into the water. I lived there in the late 70's & it was gorgeous. People destroy it so they have to restrict it.

Hey Aloha amigo- nice shirt! WOW my last time in Hanauma Bay was 1985- long time ago. Back then I used to snorkel what you all call 'the toilet bowel'! Back then at the edge of the 'blow-hole' was a 1967 MGB someone-somehow 'dropped or drove -off' some 30 ft. down. Personally, I liked it- out there for the regular beach is wayyy too touristy!!! Man I miss HI!

Yeah, it doesn’t appear to be worth $25.
