Initially it seems like a lot for someone to pick you and drive you to Hanauma Bay but it was worth it! If you book this tour, you are guaranteed tickets to the bay which is extremely hard to do on your own. It is very well organized and you don't have to worry about parking. They give you ample time in the park and you are one of the first ones to snorkel in the bay. They also include snorkel gear in the price. (We already had our own so I can't comment on the quality of their equipment. However the guide did say that if something was not working that they would bring you new stuff.) The price of the tour does not include the cost of tickets. You will have to bring cash with you, but it saves you the headache of trying to get in on your own. Traffic lines up along the road and they only let so many people in at a time. But when you are on the tour, they let those guests in first.
