Incredible beauty, amazing views underwater, and close to the city.
We did NOT have reservations, but got up early (we are from Florida so our internal clocks being 6 hours ahead, it was not at all difficult to get up early) and was able to get in. Rolled up to the entrance and it was lined up both ways. We drove by thinking there was absolutely NO WAY we were getting in without a reservation. So we bypassed the entrance, pulled off on a scenic stop and looked around and headed back toward Honolulu. When we passed the entrance again there was NO LINE! Drove in, paid $3 to park, and went to the blue umbrella and got passes without a problem (we were there around 7 am). Rented some gear and were some of the early ones in.
I had done extensive research and saw many post that it’s better to get there early before the water gets murky. So glad we did because it was definitely easier to find fish early on compared to later when the sand was churned up. Go early!
As we were leaving, noticed some divers WAY out on the left hand d side. To do it all over again, that’s what I would have done. Maybe next time!
The only knock I have with the space is it is rather expensive. By the time we paid the fees and got some old rental gear it was nearly $200. I’m glad we went, but I think it should be about 1/2 that considering it is a state park and they are subsidized by tax dollars and are not a non-profit keeping everything up and staffing with private funding.
