Top Places to Snorkel on Oahu, Hawaii

 

One of the popular activities to do in Hawaii is snorkeling. Its islands are very accessible and safe to do snorkeling activities, just like the Oahu Islands. This island can provide you with many snorkeling spots to enjoy. You can expect to find more relaxing snorkeling trips in the waters away from tourists on Oahu.

To help you find the best snorkeling area for you, here are the top snorkeling spots on Oahu.

Hanauma Bay

Hanauma Bay is a natural park that is ideal for families with small children who wish to snorkel in a safe and scenic environment. Hanauma Bay is a calm bay that is shallow and is regulated by the state. It is home to some of Oahu's finest coral and marine life. The water is generally calm, and lifeguards are on duty.

Shark's Cove

The name Shark's Cove is derived from the shape of its reef and not because sharks are frequenting it. Shark's Cove is only available for summer snorkeling due to its harsh winter conditions.

Sharks Cove is among three Marine Life Conservation Districts (the other two being Hanauma Bay or the Diamond Head end Waikiki Beach). This means that there will be an unusually high amount of aquatic life in the area and that fish will be less afraid of humans. So you can expect to experience turtle snorkeling in Oahu.

Sans Souci Beach (Waikiki)

Sans Souci Beach is Waikiki's best snorkeling spot, which is located in the Sans Souci Recreational Park. This includes the Waikiki Marine Life Conservation District. Here, fishing is prohibited. This means that there is much more fish to enjoy, and they are not as afraid of humans as in other areas.
