Hanauma Bay Self-Guided Snorkel Tour & Gear Rental with Hotel Transportation

Beautiful location

Stunning location, not too many people, but of a process to get into the park but once there it was lovely. We didn’t get to see turtles but there was a lot of other fish to see.

It was ok

Had to use a premium drink ticket for a diet coke. Gimme a break.

Entertainment was good
