Let me start by saying that I’ve visited Hanauma Bay several times in the past, and each visit had always been a great experience. However, something has drastically changed over the last few years—p… Full review by Brian R

Super crowded. People swimming into me every few minutes. Very pretty from beach but the coral is dead, very few fish. Also no marine life. So many other places to snorkel on the island for free. Sh… Full review by staylitamerica

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?

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?
