Hanauma Bay

Hanauma (; Hawaiian: [həˈnɔumə])
is a marine embayment formed within a tuff ring and located along the southeast coast of the Island of Oʻahu in the Hawaii Kai neighborhood of East Honolulu, in the Hawaiian Islands.Hanauma is one of the most popular tourist destinations on the Island and has suffered somewhat from overuse. At one time, this popular tourist destination accommodated over three million visitors per year. In 1956, dynamite was used to clear portions of the reef to make room for telephone cables linking Hawaii to the west coast of the US.

    I have been here 4yrs ago. And I was concerned about the amount of people trampling all over the reef. Left and right feet on the ground- people that were not able to really swim. Scary! I felt bad and we left pretty soon after we got there. A week ago we went again, numbers of people allowed inside have been restricted due to covid and it made a huge difference. I saw more living corals , so many parrot fish, boxfish, porcupinefish , anglefish, triggerfish, butterflyfish, sea urchins , unicornfish, wrasse , surgeonfish. Sea cucumbers, eels and so many more. Not that we didn't see any of these fish 4yrs ago. The quantity changed tremendously. We saw whole schools of butterflyfish this time. There was not just one Parrotfish , there was several. We snorkel the entire reef and enjoyed it so much. Thank you for lowering the number of people (due to covid) but saving the reef by doing so. Mahalo!!!

    My wife and I love visiting this beach when we are visiting Hawaii. We did a snorkelling class here nearly 10 years ago and it was amazing. It is a beautiful clean beach and does not get too busy. From memory I think we had to watch a video about the conservative of the beach and pay to be allowed on.
