I used the transportation service provided via the Hanuma Bay itself and was very happy. It was worth it. Just call the park--or book online-- and set up your reservations directly with them, and add on the transportation package. Remember the 6 am time gives you the best water visibility so its worth the early morning start :)

I see people saying an online reservation is absolutely required and sells out in 10 minutes and I see people saying they bought their ticket at the gate. I'm planning a trip for May 2023. What's the current best way to get a ticket?
A:
It was quite difficult to get a ticket, if I remember correctly they release the tickets @ 7AM, two days in advance? That is what we did, I have no idea about purchasing at the gate? good luck!

Hi ! I’m actually not 100% sure what the difference is, most people recommend to bring your own snorkeling gear. The rentals at Hanauma Bay are very expensive so i would recommend to either buy your own gear at a store (ABC stores), or you can rent snorkel gear at another location.

The site opens around 7 am in the morning. Get your slot and be ready with the credit card saved on your browser to make the booking faster as the system doesn’t block the slots while you are trying to checkout. If someone else finishes checkout before you then you will loose the slot once you finish the payment info and confirm order.
