Amazing snorkeling experience - Highly recommend! Amazing access to a natural preserve area for snorkeling. I swam with a school of fish and enjoyed seeing so much in this bay. Put this on your list to do in Oahu.

Snorkeling - Wonderful experience and operator was very accommodating and organized. Getting to the bay early was a plus to avoid the later crowd. Saw many fish and enjoyed the morning with my wife. The beach was a plus after snorkeling before heading back to the resort property for lunch.

Awesome company awesome experience - Awesome trip smooth pickup entrance tickets reserved and just pay there we were the first group in the park amazing fish and plenty of them also rented a combo chairs and umbrella from the tour company and they made it so easy. Lots of great communication from the company on pickup points and they had all the gear ready separated for each party would HIGHLY recommend !! Hanauma Bay is a must see !

Avoid this money hungry company - I strongly advise against using this company—they clearly prioritize profit over customer safety and satisfaction. They assured me they could accommodate my 4-month-old with a car seat, but when it came time for pickup, they shockingly suggested I hold the baby in my arms instead, all to save a seat they wanted to charge an extra $55 for. Outraged, we ended up driving our own Jeep to Hanauma Bay. Despite not using their service at all, they still had the audacity to try to keep our money. Stay away from this company at all costs!

The bay is great. Driving service is awful. Go on your own. - Not sure what we paid for. The driver wasn’t helpful. And when he didn’t drop us off at the hotel. I had to carry a child four blocks.
Overall terrible experience. Complete waste of money.
Go on your own.
