When is the best time to snorkel at Hanauma Bay?
Last updated:
Weekday mornings right at the 6:45 a.m. opening — visibility is best, parking is open, and you beat tour buses. Reservations are required ($25 entry per non-resident, available 48 hours ahead at pros.hnl.info/hanaumabay). Closed Mondays and Tuesdays. Bring reef-safe sunscreen; chemical sunscreen is checked at the gate.
