The most popular time to visit Hawaii is winter to spring. But we recommend going in the summer to have a great experience snorkeling Hawaii. It can be hot and a bit humid at times in the summer, but the upsides are worth it.
Do you see sharks while snorkeling in Hawaii?
There are four shark species common in Hawai'i. They are the white reef tip, black reef tip, sandbar and scalloped hammerhead shark. My wife, who has snorkeled several times a week since moving here in 2013, has seen approximately 10 sharks in total, all of the reef tip variety.
