Traveler reviews
Easy pickup and...
Easy pickup and instruction of equipment by the driver! Had 1 person in van group hold entrance money making it easier to enter Bay.
The way to do it!
Had a great time!! Pickup was in the morning at nearby hotel, drove to home office to grab the snorkel gear and then to Hanauma Bay. They dropped us off right by the admission office. Spent approx. 3 hrs. in the water. Then was picked back up at drop off spot. Was nice not having to worry about driving and trying to get in at the park. They did the reservations; we just had to pay the 25-dollar admission fee. Will do the trip again the next time we are back on the island.
Disappointing experience
Disappointing experience ever in Hawaii. I usually book activities directly through official websites, but this time I booked a snorkeling experience through Viator for Hanauma Bay. The staff at the bay did not accept the booking confirmation or receipt from the app, and when I contacted the provider, they were unhelpful and did not assist me in getting my snorkeling gear. The provider later mentioned that entry was only allowed through their shuttle service and that guests could not go directly to the bay themselves - but this was never clearly communicated during booking via call. The whole process was confusing, misleading, and extremely frustrating. Completely ruined the experience.
Great trip!!
Great experience! Kaimana Tours picked us up on time and got us to H Bay with all our equipment quickly. H Bay was great snorkeling!! The early time slot was perfect! Snorkel equipment worked very well!! Friendly and knowledgeable drivers!!
Amazing way to get to Hanauma bay!
Best snorkeling!! I was by myself for the day and did not have a rental car- I looked into Ubers which would be about $30 per direction from Waikiki. So, with the value of this including snorkeling gear too, this was perfect! Made for easy entry without dealing with the official reservation system. Drivers were prompt, friendly, and informative. Highly recommend!
