HANAUMA BAY STATE PARK Hours • Pricing • Activities * History * Pricing * FAQ * Parking * Reef Map * Activities HANAUMA BAY INFORMATION Frequently Asked Questions HANAUMA BAY HISTORY HANAUMA BAY NATURE PRESERVE WAS DECLARED A PROTECTED MARINE LIFE CONSERVATION PARK IN 1967 Formed within a volcanic cone, today Hanauma Bay offers a pristine marine ecosystem after the City and County of Honolulu laid out a plan in 1990 to restore the bay, after years of use from the millions of visitors who visit and love to snorkel Hanauma Bay. Voted Best Beach in the United States in 2016, volunteers have a booth located on the beach level to help visitors learn about conservation of the reef and the types of fish that live there. All guests are required to watch a 9-minute video that serves as a crash course in marine life, park preservation, and safety rules. This mandatory viewing ensures that all visitors understand and respect the delicate ecosystem they’re about to explore. To ensure the well-being of our underwater inhabitants, it’s law that visitors refrain from touching or walking on the coral reefs. Remember, these are living creatures! We urge everyone to watch their step and keep their hands to themselves. It’s all part of our mission to protect this beautiful bay. The natural spa known as the “Toilet Bowl” was a beloved part of our park, however, due to safety concerns, it has been closed to visitors. We continue to prioritize your safety and the preservation of our natural resources above all else.
