Snorkeling was excellent here. The weather was warmer being on the South end. The beach area was great. There was a small playground for smaller kids to play on. It were a couple of industrial strength Little Tykes play structures. I wish we had discovered this beach earlier in our trip.

The snorkeling was wonderful. We went to several locations outside of our resort. Hanalei was wonderful snorkeling; the waters were so very blue and the fish would come right up to you. At our resort beach, the fish were as big as your two fists and they would swarm around you looking for food. A great pastime of the travelers is to buy packs of food and feed the fish out of their hands. We even snorkeled a section of the Napali coast during our boat excursion. The water is so clear that from the top of the boat, you could see the bottom. Dolphins were our swim mates. Scupa diving off the north shore was a definite new for me. We dived to about 60 feet. The coral was beautiful along with the many varieties of fish we swam with. We were even up close and personal with a sea turtle on more than one occasion.

Colorful tropical fish, sea turtles, sea lions, dolphins, and other delightful surprises in beautiful, clear, warm water.

Play area for small children and restaurant across the street.
