Hanauma Bay: Review

By Zach Cooper
Hanauma Bay is one historic place! Thousands of years ago, the cove was a volcanic crater. It now features some of the most exotic and beautiful species of fish. This includes turtles, reef triggerfish (or Humuhumunukunukuapua in Hawaii) and lots of other bright fish. Hanauma Bay is a nature preserve protected by the Marine Life Conservation District of Hawaii.  Before snorkeling, you must watch a small video on the history of the bay and also how to keep safe. After, you walk down (or pay to be shuttled) to the beach and enjoy some time in the waters.

I really enjoyed Hanauma Bay, but did not love it as much as Shark's Cove. Still really great experience and would recommend visiting.
