Maui Snorkel Cruises
Hawaii snorkeling is superb on Maui. It is home to the Molokini Crater, a beautiful underwater sanctuary inside a partially sunken volcanic crater just 2.5 miles off the coast of Maui. The crater is partially submerged, leaving a crescent shape above the water that protects the reef, offering clear views to 150 feet and is home to about 250 species of fish. You can reach this famous Hawaii snorkeling spot via a Maui snorkel tour. Designated as a Hawaii State Marine Life and Bird Conservation District, the Hawaii snorkel tour boats use mooring buoys instead of anchors to protect the reef.
Maui also offers many excellent places to snorkel off the beaches. The Maui snorkel tours will take you to the best spots so you can enjoy what all the Hawaii snorkel talk is all about. The best Hawaii snorkeling beaches on Maui include Kapalua Beach, Black Rock, Kaanapali Beach in front of the Sheraton, the Kihei coastline and along the Wailea coastline.
If you enjoy viewing sea turtles try Olowalu, which is about 150 to 225 feet from shore. You'll find a turtle-cleaning station, where turtles line up to have small parasites removed by the cleaner wrasses.
When making your plans to snorkel in Hawaii, be sure to book a snorkeling tour to Molokini Crater. It's truly incredible. If you're planning on island hopping, check out the snorkeling tours on the other islands as well because all of the Hawaiian Islands offer great snorkeling. Molokini snorkeling tours are extremely popular, so be sure to book ahead.
