Snorkeling...
Some of the best snorkeling in Oahu is at the underwater park
at Hanauma Bay. It's crowded, sometimes it seems there are more
people than fish, but Hanauma has clear, warm, protected waters
and an abundance of friendly reef fish including Moorish idols,
scores of butterflyfish, damselfish, and wrasses. Hanauma Bay
has two reefs, an inner and an outer--the first for novices, the
other for experts. The inner reef is calm and shallow (less than
10 ft.); in some places, you can just wade and put your face in
the water. Go early: It's packed by 10am and closed on Tuesdays.
Braver snorkelers may want to
head to Shark's Cove, on the North Shore just off Kamehameha
Highway, between Haleiwa and Pupukea. Sounds risky, we know,
but we've never seen or heard of any sharks in this cove, and
in summer, this big, lava-edged pool is one of Oahu's best snorkel
spots. Waves splash over the natural lava grotto and cascade
like waterfalls into the pool full of tropical fish. To the
right of the cove are deep-sea caves to explore.
The uninitiated might feel better
after a lesson and a snorkel tour.
Please call us for information, and we will help you find
the right one.
