We left the hotel in Waikiki at 6am, so we were able to see a beautiful sunrise from the observation deck at the end of Hanauma Bay. Compared to the past, Hanauma Bay has less coral and the water is less clear, but we were still able to see many tropical fish while snorkeling. We recommend renting a beach umbrella and chairs, even though it's a bit expensive, to fully enjoy the amazing view from the beach, including the sparkling water.
