Shuttle to Hanauma Bay
Tour Highlights
Shuttle into Hanauma Bay without the parking stress or permit entry uncertainty and slip into calm, clear water where colorful reefs and hundreds of tropical fish surround you. With pre-reserved access and quality gear in hand, it’s the easiest, most comfortable way to experience Hawaiʻi’s most famous snorkeling spot.
- Ride round-trip from Waikīkī with guaranteed entry time
- Snorkel a protected marine sanctuary home to 450+ fish species
- Use sanitized, high-quality gear: mask, snorkel, and fins
- Explore calm, beginner-friendly waters with excellent visibility
- Enjoy a smooth, stress-free visit without handling logistics
Quick Local Tip: Check in with the lifeguards before you head out but on calm days, using buoys, they’ll mark a safe channel through the shallow coral shelf so you can slip straight into the deeper section of the bay where live coral gardens begin and there’s a much higher chance of spotting turtles, eagle rays, and larger reef fish.
What to Expect
Your day begins with a prompt pickup from your Waikīkī hotel, where you'll board a clean, air-conditioned van designed for comfort. The 30-minute ride to Hanauma Bay is relaxing, and our experienced drivers are happy to share tips and insights to help you make the most of your time in the water.
Upon arrival, we’ll provide you with high-quality snorkel gear—sanitized and professionally maintained, including a silicone-tempered mask, J-type snorkel, and endurance fins. Mask defogger is also available upon request. This means no need to rent or bring your own equipment.
Once at the bay, you'll have time to explore its vibrant underwater world at your own pace. The clear waters beyond the shoreline reveal a thriving coral reef teeming with marine life. After your snorkeling session, you’ll reconnect with the shuttle for a smooth return ride back to Waikīkī.

Our driver was very friendly and helpful. The day was great. We had time to snorkel twice, walk the beach, and relax. It was nice to not worry about getting a parking spot, our reservations, etc.
