@Momofadult - Last year I took my friend to snorkel at Hanauma Bay (his very first time snorkeling and he loves sea turtles) - while it was “fine” and we had fun, over the 10 days we found 2 even better snorkeling spots…one was Lanikai Beach on the windward side of O’ahu (which was really beautiful - no turtles though), and the other Electric Beach (Kahe Beach) on the leeward side…this isn’t a place you go for the vista (unlike Lanikai), it’s the snorkeling with turtles here! We swam/snorkeled with a good half-dozen turtles, we could hear dolphin song underwater, and seriously, it was a-maz-ing! That was a little over a year ago, and he is still talking about it (me too).
