Snorkeling

Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve is the most famous of Hawaii’s snorkeling beaches because of it’s high fish population, calm shallow water, and white sand.  This beach has the tamest fish in Hawaii. You can also rent equipment right on our section of Waikiki and likely see a sea turtle while you are snorkeling.
