We wanted to experience the nature preserve at Hanauma Bay. They only let 1400 people per day in 5 days per week and it is almost impossible to get a ticket through the State of Hawaii website so we used tour operator to get in. Very early pick up 0545 took a very old van to the preserve. Lovely informative driver. The experience includes the ride out and back and snorkeling equipment otherwise they drop you off and you self direct the experience. The equipment worked well. If you like nature and snorkeling this is a good experience. It’s pretty much the only way you are going to get to Hanauma Bay.which is a great Hawaii experience. Oh and you still have to pay $25 to get in on top of your fee to the operator. But compared to other experiences in expensive Hawaii this was money ($55 person) well spent. I would use them again.
