点评:Hanauma Bay is still a great place to snorkel. I have been there at least 3 or 4 times, separated by more than 40 years. Yes, the coral has been greatly damaged and the fish aren't as prevalent, but it is still a great place to go for snorkeling and some of the best in Oahu, maybe Hawaii. There are lots of people that say it's terrible, but having been to there and Maui, I can say there are more types of fish in Hanauma Bay than we found in Maui. I enjoyed Maui better because the water was clearer and the coral was more alive, and we saw turtles and spotted eagle rays (at black rock). But there were more types of fish in Hanauma Bay. I’ve cataloged all the fish we saw and will include them in this review. The worst thing about Hanauma Bay is the reservation system. It’s terrible and stressful. If I had to do it again, I’d just get the shuttle that they offer and pay the extra cost. We needed to get 8 tickets but they only allow 5 at a time. So we logged in at EXACTLY 7AM and got the 5, but then when we tried to go back in at 7:02AM that time was all full and we had to get 1 at a time 10 minutes before and 2 at a time 20 minutes after. Luckily they let us all in at the start of the first time when we actually went. BTW, this was for February 13, 2026, so not a weekend. And the times we ended up with were 7:20, 7:30 and 7:50. The tickets were basically sold out by 7:04 that morning ( 2 days before). Be ready to prove you have a reservation at the time of parking and in the reservation line, they are very strict about their reservations, another reason to just use the shuttle service.
翻译:哈瑙玛湾仍然是浮潜的好去处。我至少去过三四次,每次间隔超过40年。没错,珊瑚礁遭到了严重破坏,鱼类也不如以前那么多了,但它仍然是浮潜的绝佳地点,甚至可以说是欧胡岛乃至整个夏威夷最好的浮潜地点之一。很多人说那里很糟糕,但我去过哈瑙玛湾和茂宜岛之后,我可以肯定地说,哈瑙玛湾的鱼类种类比茂宜岛多。我更喜欢茂宜岛,因为那里的水更清澈,珊瑚也更鲜活,我们还看到了海龟和斑点鹰鳐(在黑岩附近)。但哈瑙玛湾的鱼类种类确实更多。我已经记录了我们看到的所有鱼类,并会把它们写进这篇评论里。哈瑙玛湾最糟糕的地方就是它的预约系统。这套系统糟糕透顶,让人倍感压力。如果让我再去一次,我宁愿选择他们提供的接驳巴士,哪怕多花点钱也好。我们需要8张票,但他们一次只允许5张。所以我们早上7点准时登录,抢到了5张,但当我们7点02分再次尝试时,那个时间段已经满了,我们只能提前10分钟抢1张,之后20分钟再抢2张。幸运的是,我们第一次去的时候,他们让我们都顺利入场了。顺便说一下,这是2026年2月13日,不是周末。我们最终抢到的时间段是7点20分、7点30分和7点50分。基本上,票在那天早上7点04分(两天前)就已经售罄了。停车时和排队等候时,一定要准备好出示预订证明,他们对预订非常严格,这也是为什么最好使用班车服务的另一个原因。
