This nature perserve is by far the best place to take the kids to for snorkeling. Its shallow water and they actually have beautiful native fish swimming. When I lived in Hawaii, this was my favorite place to snorkel. Great for beginner snorkelers. The also have diving which from what I heard was excellent by the locals.
It's a great place to snorkel!! i mean, why pay lots of money for those snorkeling tours that are offered in the island when you can come, pay almost nothing to enter the bay and enjoy the experience of this coral reef? it was one of the best activities we had in Hawaii.
Fortunately i never saw the crowds everybody talks about so i guess 2pm ...

I have been there twice, the first time was many years ago and I took a bus to get there and then walked about 2 miles to the beach.

The second time I went was years later and it was so crowded that we could not ...
I loved it! Well worth the money, great for sun, snorkeling and beach combing. Would recommend it to anyone. However, stay away in windy days, the sand blows eveywhere!
