Based on our current plans I’m considering adding a visit to Hanauma Bay in July on a Sunday 10ish or Friday 11 or noonish. We are 2 adults 2 high schoolers with limited snorkeling experience and good swimming skills. Excited to snorkel.
I know the reservation system opens two days in advance at 7 HI time and I have seen how the reservations are set up booking every 10 minutes 7-1:20pm. And it books within minutes. I’m also very aware that many recommend early morning visiting for the most fish and that parking quickly fills - though others say there are still many fish to see and pkg later after the initial morning crunch. But early morning is just not going to work for us. Soooo unless it’s totally not worth going later, please help answer these questions within our currently planned schedule - thanks :
- if parking is full, what are the other parking options? We have a rental.
- How long can you stay at the bay- is the reservation time limited?
- if not limited, how long is typical to plan for a good visit
- is parking typically full at 10? 11? 12?
