We booked our time here through a tour as we couldn’t get tickets. 3 hours wasn’t enough! There was so many fish, the sand was soft and the water was calm. Great for kids and families. Limiting the n…Full review by Ryan R

Pros: Abundant and diverse fish! You'll see so many tropical fish that you'll lose track. You'll also see sea urchins, sea cucumbers, coral, and I caught a glimpse of one sea turtle. The waves are al…Full review by Nathan F

Half the beach was closed off for no good reason, so all the tourists were all cramped together like cows on the beach . We were out snorkeling and noticed a guy going through our bags on the beach…Full review by Donna S

I used the transportation service provided via the Hanuma Bay itself and was very happy. It was worth it. Just call the park--or book online-- and set up your reservations directly with them, and add on the transportation package. Remember the 6 am time gives you the best water visibility so its worth the early morning start :)
I see people saying an online reservation is absolutely required and sells out in 10 minutes and I see people saying they bought their ticket at the gate. I'm planning a trip for May 2023. What's the current best way to get a ticket?
A:
It was quite difficult to get a ticket, if I remember correctly they release the tickets @ 7AM, two days in advance? That is what we did, I have no idea about purchasing at the gate? good luck!
What is included in the standard snorkel rental and what is in the premium rental?

Hi ! I’m actually not 100% sure what the difference is, most people recommend to bring your own snorkeling gear. The rentals at Hanauma Bay are very expensive so i would recommend to either buy your own gear at a store (ABC stores), or you can rent snorkel gear at another location.
I tried for 50 mins starting at 7 am but the website said always DISMISS, limit the 6 members even though I checked for 2 people, or all tickets sold out at the last stage. It is so annoying actually. Any problem with the website or any cautions I should know?
A:
Be sure to login a few minutes before it opens at 7 am and be quick to complete your transaction. Last time it only took 10 minutes to sold out.
