Best way to get into Hanauma Bay!! - Our Director and the company as a whole was exceptional. Very organized, kind, accommodating and fun. We tried for weeks to get tickets to the Bay…pointless! Thus however, super worth it and so worth it!

Highly Recommend Kaimana Tours for Snorkeling at Hanauma Bay! - Highly Recommend Kaimana Tours for Snorkeling at Hanauma Bay! I had an amazing experience with Kaimana Tours and would absolutely recommend them to anyone visiting Oʻahu. They made such a great impression from the very start. I first booked their shuttle service to Hanauma Bay, which made the whole trip so convenient and stress-free. The team was super friendly, organized, and gave great tips to make the most of the snorkeling experience. The gear they provided was clean, high quality, and easy to use—even for someone like me who isn't a pro snorkeler. Hanauma Bay itself is stunning, and having everything set up smoothly thanks to Kaimana made it even better. They left such a great impression that I actually went back again later during my vacation just to rent gear directly from them. Same great service the second time around—helpful staff, fair prices, and top-notch equipment. It’s clear they really care about making sure guests have a fun, safe, and memorable time. If you’re planning to snorkel at Hanauma Bay, don’t think twice—go with Kaimana Tours!

Makes visiting easy! - This took all the hassle out of visiting this wonderful place! Really appreciated the driver’s knowledge shared during the ride and also organization to get us in to the state park with minimal fuss. I wish we could have stayed longer for the $25 each to get into the state park but it worked out well for us this trip.

Good transport - Please note this isn’t a tour. It is simply transportation from Waikiki and snorkel equipment without having to try to get your own reservation into the park which is key! Orlando our driver was great! On time and all equipment was in good working order. They had additional items to rent which was helpful- I would definitely rent a life vet. The early morning trip was great since you are first in the park and it wasn’t crowded at all. A beautiful spot but I would say there are better snorkel spots on the island. Sad to see how much this has changed from when we snorkeled here 20 and then 10 years ago! Note we misread the directions. It said no food or drink but that meant in the van - you can definitely bring food or drinks for the beach. I would highly recommend bringing your own as the snack bar was very expensive for OK food.

Not great - We got picked up which was fine, but I assumed that our bus would drive us to the entrance, like all the others, but this tour company makes you walk down to the entrance and when we got there, other tours cut infront of us bc they drove down. I was not happy with that part of the experience. The bag was beautiful but I expected better service for 40/person ride.
