Activity itinerary

1. Easy Online Booking Guests choose their date, enter their Waikiki pickup location, and receive an instant confirmation with all the key details for their Hanauma Bay shuttle. 2. Day-Before Reminder The day before the tour, guests get a text reminder with optional rental items (wetsuits, flotation gear, GoPro mask, etc.) and simple instructions on what to bring, including the $25 Hanauma Bay entry fee in cash, and a reminder of 5:40 am pickup. 3. Early Morning Pickup (5:40 AM) Our driver arrives right on time at the guest’s hotel or designated pickup point. Guests hop into a clean, comfortable shuttle--- no parking stress. Depending on the number you are on the pickup list he may be there a couple mins after that, so do not worry if he is not there exactly at 5:40 AM. 4. Quick 30-Minute Ride to Hanauma Bay During the drive, guests receive helpful tips about the bay, snorkeling basics, and what to expect at the entrance. No food or drink is consumed inside the shuttle to keep it fresh for everyone. 5. Gear Setup & Free Snorkel Time Guests receive their sanitized mask, snorkel, and fins, or any optional upgrades they pre-selected. We recommend trying on the flippers while you are still with the driver since he has extra sizing. 6. Smooth Arrival & Entry Guidance We drop guests right at the entrance and guide them through the process: paying the $25 entrance fee at the ticket window and watching the mandatory 10-minute conservation video. Then it’s off to enjoy Hanauma Bay’s calm morning waters and vibrant marine life. 7. Designated Return Pickup At the scheduled time, guests meet back at the same drop-off point. Driver will advise you what time to be ready at loading zone. Once the driver has loaded the gear and confirmed everyone is onboard, he will return to Waikiki. **Please make sure to bring back all the gears you were handed. (Subject to charge if items are missing)** 8. Stress-Free Drop-Off Guests are dropped back at their hotel or pickup location, ending the tour relaxed, refreshed, and ready for the rest of their day in paradise.
