One of the top 3 activities in Oahu - Morning time is a great time, the beach is not as crowded. A huge crowd starts to come in around 9/10 am and thus scare away the fish. But wow, so many different species of fish in these waters, it must see. Our tour guide was Orlando and he was very informational and awesome!

Fantastic - Fantastic time! Guaranteed to see lots of marine life. I got to see a squid while snorkeling. Pickup was on time, Driver was informative on our drive to the Bay. This was our second time using this service. If you snorkel, it's a no brainer.

Not to miss - I have never seen so many different types of fish. The water was beautiful.
Take food and drinks the canteen is limited in variety and outrageously expensive.

Awesome experience - This was an amazing experience! We did Hanauma bay snorkeling in April. Our tour guide, Orlando, was fantastic and very informative. The only problem was it was overcast and cold…. I would have enjoyed this more if I had a wet suit but still a great experience!

Worth the Wakeup - This tour is worth getting up early! Even in the rain, the fish were very plentiful and active. We rented the floater wetsuits and really liked them. Adding a few pictures.

Not a very good experience - I purchased six tickets and calls for confirmation. I told him I didn't need snorkel gear nor I needed a ride to the property. I arrive at the property Thursday morning with my family six and I had to purchase six more tickets because they weren't accepting anything from you guys I had to purchase it from them, so my experience with you guys was really bad a refund so I will not be purchasing more tickets from you guys when I come back in three weeks with my other family

Terrible booking process... - Terrible booking process and poor communication. We didn't get to go due to booking miscommunication issues. So we're out $100 and this was only excursion we had planned.
