About this experience
Kaimana Tours runs this Waikiki-based snorkeling trip to Hanauma Bay, a protected Marine Life Conservation Area on Oahu. Pickup starts early in the morning from Waikiki hotels, getting guests to the park right as it opens, which helps avoid the challenge of securing parking at a location that fills up fast. Guests not staying at a Waikiki hotel can join the shuttle at the Queen Kapiolani Hotel. Round-trip transportation is included in the price.
The trip is rated easy and suits beginners, families, and anyone comfortable swimming independently or with a flotation device. Sanitized snorkel gear, including a silicon-tempered mask, J-type snorkel, and endurance vinyl acetate fins, comes with the package. Optional rentals such as boogie boards, umbrellas, chairs, corrective lens masks, and flotation vests are available for an added cost, or guests can bring their own gear.
The bay entrance fee is not included and is paid separately. Hawaii residents with proof of residency, active military with valid ID, and young children are exempt from that fee.
