Hanauma Bay on O‘ahu

Hanauma Bay (pronounced ha-now-mah) is a marine bay formed within a volcanic cone or crater and located along the southeast coast of the Island of O‘ahu (east of Honolulu) in the Hawaiian Islands. Hanauma is one of the most popular tourist destinations on the Island and has suffered from overuse.

Hanauma Bay is the very best spot on Oahu for snorkeling, and caters to everyone from beginners to the most experienced snorkelers.
