Your 1.5-hour guided experience unfolds in the shallow waters near Hanauma Bay Nature Reserve's beach, where the crew of certified divers, lifeguards, free divers, and surfers know exactly where the best coral formations hide. They'll show you spots where vibrant tropical fish gather and—here's the best part—turtle sightings are guaranteed.
