HANAUMA BAY, HAWAII

For those who want to travel Hawaii, i recommend visiting Hanauma Bay. Hana translates to ‘bay’ and uma means ‘shelter’. Hanauma Bay Hawaii is both a Natural Preserve and a Marine life Conservation District. These provisions help the government protect the natural wildlife and natural area. This bay supports a large population of Green sea turtle, Parrot Fish, Puffers, Trumpet Fish and of course Hawaii’s State Fish, the Humuhumukunupua’a fish, or just Humu.

The history of this bay is Hanauma Bay is evidence of a volcanic burst of activity on the island tens of thousands of years ago. These volcanic eruptions formed the crater on the sea floor, and waves from the ocean eventually filled the circular bay.  As a result, we now enjoy one of the most geographically protected marine sanctuaries in the world.

The beach at Hanauma Bay can be crowded during the morning hours, so better you visit in the mid-afternoon. During your stay you can also take a short tram ride up to the rim of the crater to view the entire bay.

Hanauma Bay is also the famous of all Hawaii’s snorkeling beaches because of it is high population, clam shallow water, and white sand. While snorkeling, you will spot schools of colorful fish and perhaps even dolphins and turtles. For your information, there have two type of inner reef in Hanauma Bay which is inner and outer reef. The safe inner reef is perfect for children and beginners, while the more challenging outer reef will thrill advanced snorkelers on Hanauma Bay tours.
