Hanauma Bay State Park is a state park established to protect the spectacular marine environment of Hanauma Bay, which offers some of the best snorkeling on O'ahu. Located along the southeast coast of the Island of O'ahu in East Honolulu and formed within a volcanic cone the marine embayment is set within a tuff ring and is home to colorful reefs and more than 300 different Hawaiian fish species.
Once used a bay for fishing by Hawaiian Royalty, today the bay is used for recreational purposes only, and there is a volunteer booth located on the beach level to help visitors learn about conservation of the reef and the types of fish that live there.
