LIVE CLOCK

Dock wisdom

Book your Hanauma Bay reservation weeks ahead on weekends at honolulu.gov — all 1,000 daily spots often sell out.

The bay opens at 6:45 AM and the clearest, calmest snorkeling is in the first two hours before afternoon crowds.

You must watch the 9-minute reef education film before entering the water — budget the extra time.

Turtles are most common near the rocky south wall of the inner bay; give them the federal 10-foot buffer.
