Rule #1: Do NOT step on the corals.
Rule #2: Do NOT touch the fish, honu, and all other marine life in the bay. Our body sweat, bacteria, etc., are harmful to these animals.
The park is open daily except on Tuesdays, and operates from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. As this is one of the major tourist attractions in Hawaii, guests are encouraged to come early. There is a $7.50 entrance fee and $1.00 parking fee. Snorkeling and diving gears are available for rent at a reasonable price in the beach park.
For better snorkeling experience and to explore the deeper part of the bay, Vince and I joined a guided tour by Hanauma Bay Dive Tours. There were five of us in the group plus a certified diver tour guide. Transportation and snacks were included as well as quality snorkeling gears. Although we had to shed extra buck$$$ for this tour, we never regret it because it was all worth it. I remember the other lady in our tour group saying, "This is the most awesome thing I've ever done in my life!" I definitely agree. That was the best (and most scraped and bruised) snorkeling experience for me as well.
