No. 1
HANAUMA BAY, OAHU
Our Facebook ohana selected this ever-popular, circular-shaped shore on Hanauma Bay, near the southeast tip of Oahu, as their favorite snorkeling spot. Hanauma Bay is both a nature preserve and a marine life conservation district. An estimated 400 species of fish reside in its typically gentle waters. In addition to enjoying a bit of swim time with the marine life, it's important for visitors to do their part in helping to preserve the bay's delicate ecosystem. At Hanauma Bay, and at snorkeling spots throughout the Islands, please do not touch the sea creatures and coral. Also, make sure that you don't leave litter on the shorelines. Aloha!
