Tunnels
Beach is a fantastic snorkeling and diving spot on the North Shore
just past Hanalei near the Ha’ena Beach Park. There is an
inner and an outer reef, with the inner reef running up to the shore
and the outer horseshoe shaped reef about 60 yards offshore. There
is an amazing variety of reef fish and normally green sea turtles
can found here. The water is calm on the inner right side of the
reef making it an excellent spot for new divers and snorkeling.
On the left side where the reef slopes to 60 feet you will find
lava formations, tunnels and caverns recommend for the more advanced
divers.
Please note: Please use extra caution during the winter
months due when surf conditions are high. There is a very limited
amount of parking space at this beach so you should arrive early
or park at Ha’ena Beach and walk from there.

| Wonderful underwater
topography, but curiously few fish and other wildlife. Go for the
neat tunnels and swim-throughs, not the abundance of wildlife. |
