Kane‘ohe Bay is a nursery for scalloped hammerhead sharks. Snorkelers may encounter the shark pups, which like to swim in shallow water. Hammerheads don’t pose much risk to humans, but it is advised to leave the sharks alone and avoid swimming when they are present.

Be aware of the changing tides in Kane‘ohe Bay. Check the tide timetable to avoid getting stuck at high tide in places such as Chinaman’s Hat (Mokoli‘i) and the Ahu o Laka sandbar.
