Tour Photo Gallery:
Hanauma pronounced ha-na-OO-mah, in Hawaiian is a marine embayment formed within a volcanic cone and located along the southeast coast of the Island of Oʻahu just east of Honolulu in the Hawaiian Islands. Hana means bay and uma means shelter, rendering Shelter Bay. Though some call it Hanauma Bay, this is a tautology: Hawaiians simply call this feature Hanauma. Hanauma is one of the most popular tourist destinations on the Island and has suffered somewhat from overuse at one time accommodating over three million visitors per year. In the 1950s, dynamite was used to clear portions of the reef to expand the area available for swimming.

Most of the tours we went on were through the Polynesian Adventure Tour. Every tour guide we had were VERY friendly and knew so much about the history of Hawaii and about every place we went. I will recommend to everyone to book there tours with them.
