What To Expect

1. Easy Online Booking Guests choose their date, enter their Waikiki pickup location, and receive an instant confirmation with all the key details for their Hanauma Bay shuttle. 2. Day-Before Reminder The day before the tour, guests get a text reminder with optional rental items (wetsuits, flotation gear, GoPro mask, etc.) and simple instructions on what to bring, including the $25 Hanauma Bay entry fee in cash, and a reminder of 5:40 am pickup. 3. Early Morning Pickup (5:40 AM) Our driver arrives right on time at the guest’s hotel or designated pickup point. Guests hop into a clean, comfortable shuttle--- no parking stress. Depending on the number you are on the pickup list he may be there a couple mins after that, so do not worry if he is not there exactly at 5:40 AM. 4. Quick 30-Minute Ride to Hanauma Bay During the drive, guests receive helpful tips about the bay, snorkeling basics, and what to expect at the entrance. No food or drink is consumed inside the shuttle to keep it fresh for everyone. 5. Gear Setup & Free Snorkel Time Guests receive their sanitized mask, snorkel, and fins, or any optional upgrades they pre-selected. We recommend trying on the flippers while you are still with the driver since he has extra sizing. 6. Smooth Arrival & Entry Guidance We drop guests right at the entrance and guide them through the process: paying the $25 entrance fee at the ticket window and watching the mandatory 10-minute conservation video. Then it’s off to enjoy Hanauma Bay’s calm morning waters and vibrant marine life. 7. Designated Return Pickup At the scheduled time, guests meet back at the same drop-off point. Driver will advise you what time to be ready at loading zone. Once the driver has loaded the gear and confirmed everyone is onboard, he will return to Waikiki. **Please make sure to bring back all the gears you were handed. (Subject to charge if items are missing)** 8. Stress-Free Drop-Off Guests are dropped back at their hotel or pickup location, ending the tour relaxed, refreshed, and ready for the rest of their day in paradise.

Excellent communication by Kaimana Tours before the trip; they offered rentals (chairs, vests, wetsuits, etc…) and asked for shoe sizes for the fins. On time pick up, pleasant ride with Diogo, well organized entrance to the park.
So much fun we do it many times again maybe an ascend her day but even in the clouds it was such a beautiful day

Literally the sweetest people explain everything well got me where I needed to be. Got me back when a friend of mine had their gear issue. Someone came out in 10 minutes and fix their stuff. Really appreciate them being accommodating in the morning and we’re very knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend to friends and family many times again

You absolutely can drive yourself and walk in pay for park entrance and save the money you would pay this shuttle service. We’re told they provide snorkel equipment they did not have any for us and you can also rent snorkel equipment on site.

Hanauma Bay is top notch! Don’t need to venture out too far to see the incredible wildlife. Was able to get what we needed from tour guide prior to getting to the Bay!

This is a fun time and you definitely get to see a lot of different types of fish swimming around. Check the weather if it’s not gonna be over 70 I recommend bringing a wetsuit because the water is a little cool. It’s windy and it can get cold. The shuttle service was awesome. Our shuttle driver was perfect. Great experience. Only negative I would have is I didn’t know about the $25 cash per person to get in the park that you had to bring with you and I had to scramble the night before to get that.
Really wonderful...

The driver was very informative and polite getting the doors for us and Recommending a few local places there was lots of fish on the reef. It’s a little easier to see after an hour of it being light If you’re gonna snorkel beard hair, that’s the water in Maybe get a pair of goggles and a nose plug if you have facial hair Otherwise, the mask wants to let water in But it was really nice. It was nice to see the fish very family, friendly environment.
Not value for money

This is not a tour - it is a drop off and pick up service. Money and tickets were given to guest and then left on our own with 10 people to navigate in. Way overpriced for the service given. We were told to be at pick up at 11am but pick up is actually 11.10am when all vans arrive . Quick pack us in and off for drop off.
