The Kaimana Tours Hanauma Bay snorkel gear rental is a $19.99 mask, snorkel and fin set collected at Koko Marina Shopping Center, about 5 minutes from Hanauma Bay, with chairs, umbrellas and wetsuits as add-ons. It suits self-drivers who already hold a bay reservation. The drawback: hours, rental length and cancellation terms are unpublished.

What the Reviews Say
We have not yet read individual reviews for this rental. The operator's page links to TripAdvisor but shows no rating or count, and no reseller listing for the rental was found.
About the Operator in General
On the same operator's Hanauma Bay shuttle, 2 of the 59 reviews we read on VELTRA reported a leaking or poorly fitting rental mask, and 1 (January 2019) noted no prescription mask was available on the day; prescription inserts are now listed at $15.
Our Verdict
Tripreviewall's Take
At $19.99 this is a cheap way to avoid the bay's own rental counter and lines if you are driving yourself, and the pickup point is on the only road in. It is worth it for self-drivers with a Hanauma Bay reservation who want a full-face or prescription mask, which the park counter may not offer. Without published hours, rental duration or cancellation terms, confirm those by phone before relying on it.
Book This Tour If…
You are driving to Hanauma Bay and pass Koko Marina on the way
You want a specialty mask (full-face, GoPro or prescription insert) rather than a standard set
You need chairs or an umbrella; the bay has little shade and the shuttle reviews we read say so
Skip This Tour If…
You are taking a shuttle; the operator's Hanauma Bay shuttle already includes a snorkel set
You are visiting on a Monday or Tuesday, when the bay is closed
You need to know opening hours or cancellation terms in advance; neither is published
Tips From Reviewers and Operator Notes
Call (808) 392-2223 to confirm counter hours and how long the rental runs before you book.
Bring a spare ID so you do not have to leave $50 cash per set.
Reserve your Hanauma Bay entry separately; the rental does not cover it, and the operator says walk-in tickets may be available.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is snorkel gear rental near Hanauma Bay from Kaimana Tours?
A snorkel set with mask, snorkel and fins costs $19.99 for adults or children as of October 2026. Add-ons are priced separately: life vest $10, beach chair $20, umbrella $20, boogie board $20, pool noodle $5, prescription insert $15, GoPro or full-face mask $25 and a flotation wetsuit $30.
Where do I pick up the rental gear?
Gear is collected from Koko Beach Rentals inside Koko Marina Shopping Center at 7192 Kalanianaole Hwy, C120, Honolulu, next to Walgreens and the Leonard's Bakery food truck. The center sits on the highway a few minutes before Hanauma Bay, so pickup fits on the drive in.
Is a deposit required?
Yes. Kaimana Tours asks for an extra ID or passport, or a cash deposit of at least $50 per set of gear, which the attendant holds until you return the equipment. Bringing a second ID avoids tying up cash; the deposit is separate from the rental fee.
Does the rental include Hanauma Bay entry?
No. The rental covers equipment only. Hanauma Bay charges $25 per adult at the gate, is closed Monday and Tuesday, and has limited parking. The operator notes that walk-in tickets can be available without an online reservation and offers to explain the process by phone.
What are the rental hours and cancellation terms?
The operator's page does not publish counter hours, rental duration or a cancellation policy for the gear rental as of October 2026. Its tour products use a 48-hour full-charge policy, but that is not stated for rentals, so call (808) 392-2223 or (808) 230-0023 before booking.
