The short version
We may earn a commission when you book an eligible tour or service through a commercial link on HanaumaBay.info. The commission helps support the site. A commercial relationship does not turn an operator’s claim into an official Hanauma Bay rule.
How Affiliate Links Work
An affiliate link contains tracking information that allows a booking platform or affiliate network to identify that a visitor arrived from HanaumaBay.info. If the visitor later completes a qualifying transaction, the platform may pay us a commission under its affiliate program.
The commission is normally paid by the merchant or booking platform and generally does not add a separate fee to the visitor’s purchase price. Prices, taxes, fees, exchange rates, availability, cancellation terms, and booking conditions remain controlled by the third-party seller.
Commercial Partners
HanaumaBay.info currently features tour products that may link to Viator. We may add, remove, or change affiliate partners over time. A partner appearing on the site does not mean that every link to that company is necessarily commission-eligible.
How We Disclose
When content contains commercial recommendations or affiliate links, we aim to place a clear disclosure where readers can reasonably understand the relationship before or near the relevant booking decision. A footer-only disclosure is not intended to replace disclosures that are needed closer to a recommendation.
We use straightforward wording such as “affiliate link,” “we may earn a commission,” or equivalent language rather than relying on vague labels.
Editorial Independence
Affiliate revenue does not buy factual conclusions. We may compare products with different prices, recommend a lower-cost option, identify exclusions, highlight cancellation restrictions, or advise readers to use an official government service instead of a commercial product when that is the better fit.
Tour information is checked against the product data available to us, but operators and platforms can change prices, ratings, inclusions, schedules, entry arrangements, and terms. Readers should verify the live booking page before purchasing.
Ratings and Reviews
When we display third-party ratings or review counts, those figures belong to the relevant platform and are presented as a snapshot at the time of review. We do not treat a high rating as proof that a product is right for every visitor.
Sponsored Content
If HanaumaBay.info publishes content or placement that is directly paid for by a sponsor, that relationship should be labeled separately from ordinary affiliate links. Sponsored payment does not remove the obligation to avoid misleading claims.
Not Official Admission
Commercial tour links are not the official Hanauma Bay reservation system. Some operators may provide transportation, equipment, guided snorkeling, or entry-related logistics, but their inclusions must be checked product by product. Official preserve access is governed by the relevant public agencies.
