Honaunau Bay

Honaunau Bay is one of the best snorkeling areas in the state, and not just because it's teeming with fish. The water is clear and the underwater topography is highly varied, with several types of coral, undulating reefs and deep gulleys separating the shallower areas.

"I hear Honaunau Bay is spectacular!"


You get a sense for the different types of coral and depth of the bay in this short video.
