I got a say, I was nervous about parking for Hanauma Bay, however, it wasn't as bad as people say. First off the parking does not open until 7am and the line starts on the shoulder before you even come up to the entrance. We arrived at 645 and hung out at the lookout just past the entrance until 7. Then we went back and it was easy and plenty of parking was available. Now for the Cove. Outstanding!! The staff gives you a video of where the undercurrents are and where to avoid. The water was so clear and even for my non-snorkeling people there were plenty of fish close to shore swimming around them. The only time it seemed over crowded was checking out gear. It probably took 45 min, so bring your own gear. If I ever come back, I will definitely be going to Hanauma Bay.

Reservation is strongly recommended. Walk in is possible. We went there 6:40am as walking without reservation. Got in around 8:45. Great place to visit with kids and family.

Great 1st time snorkeling experience! Be sure to reserve tickets in advance, because they allow a limited number of people in the park each day.
