Snorkeling at Three Tables | Oahu Snorkeling Spots | Best places to snorkel HAWAII

- Kalua o Maua (Three Tables) is a great snorkel spot on North Shore Oahu, Hawaii. There are three big flat rocks (tables) that stick just barely out of the water. There are tons of fish, sea turtles, and other ocean life here. Three tables is part of the Pupukea Marine Life Conservation District so the area is protected from boats and fishing. Three Tables is also really close to Sharks Cove (check out our Sharks Cove video: • Reef shark at Sharks C... ), another great North Shore snorkel spot.

Love that you name the fish for us beautiful there
Thanks, yeah it's a great spot. 🙂
Last time I was here I saw 3 eagle rays swimming in circles for like 5 minutes they were AMAZING. Looked like a momma and 2 babies. It was my favorite thing i saw in the water on my trip other than a massive old sea turtle on Kauai :)
That's awesome! Eagle rays are one of my favorite things to see in the water. That's super cool that you got to experience that! 😃
Thank you for identifying the fish😜👍🏽
You're welcome!
Very nice presentation. Numerous fishes species, especially gostfish, surgeonfish, unicornfish & convict tang(weke, kala & manini) are highly sought after by local spearfishers
Thank you!
Oh yeah
Awesome video. Thanks.
When is the best time to come here? We were there last week and the water was rough.
The best time of day is usually in the morning. The best time of year is usually during the summer since there is a winter swell. But it can very from day to day. A good option is to check the surf report for the area and go on a day with the smallest waves.
You are expert on identifying different kinds of fish! Question: is the grey yellow color coral reef or are they mostly rock? I thought reef should be colorful like orange pink purple not grey.
Thank you! There is a lot of lava rock but it is mostly covered by different types of coral. The color of coral in the Hawaiian Islands is mainly yellow, green, brown & purple. If you want to know more this is a great article explaining things (it's about Maui but applies to all the islands) :

@@murphytravelsofficial thank you very much!
Hello, nice video! Do you prefer Three table or Sharks cove?
Thank you! I personally prefer sharks cove. It gets deeper faster and the rock formations and caves are really fun to explore. Also the tide pools on the right side of sharks cove are a great place for kids to play and try snorkeling. Three tables is excellent as well though.
@@murphytravelsofficial Ok thanks a lot!!
Would you say ThreeTables is better then HanaumaBay ?
By the way - this is the first video I’ve heard someone show this beach.
I liked Hanauma Bay better than Three Tables because there was a lot more variety and also bigger fish at Hanauma Bay. Both places are good snorkel spots though. You could also check out Sharks Cove if you are on North Shore, it's right next to Three Tables so you could potential do both in the same day.
Hanauma Bay is my #1 target when I get there. Because the government has changed how tourists get to go there. We need to log on to a web site at 7am to try book a reservation at a selected time. And from what I’m reading it gets sold out in minutes. They are only allowing a certain amount of visitors per day and they only open the bookings 2 days in advance. ThreeTables and SharkCove will the alternative place to snorkel if no luck with HanaumaBay
@@RodSwansmad Yeah, Hanauma Bay is definitely harder to do because of the reservation. I hope you are able to get it though. Best of luck 🤞
