Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve is located about 10 miles east of Waikiki just off the main coastal road and has always been reveled for its beautiful, serene surroundings. The dual county nature preserve and state underwater park of Hanauma Bay has undergone a magical transformation from over-fished waters to an ever-regenerating sub-terrain environment teeming with colorful marine life.

Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve is Hawaii's first Marine Life Conservation District and is home to some of the most colorful, unique marine life in the world. This pristine reef ecosystem is one of the premier snorkeling spots in the main Hawaiian Islands.

The Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve has a lot more to offer than just fascinating marine life, it was formed through geological activity and as a result has lots to offer in the way of Geology.
