Molokini is a marine reserve with spectacular water clarity and a pristine coral reef. Rated one of the best snorkeling spots in the world this reef has a variety of beautiful reef fish and animals. More than 400 varieties of fish are found in Hawaiian waters and more than 25% of these are endemic, they are found only here in Hawaii. Occasionally we see dolphins, whales, Manta rays and Hawaiian Monk seals. Our second planned stop, Turtletown, offers a reef formed on lava that flowed from Haleakala centuries ago. The caverns and ledges in the lava as well as the lava fingers nearing the surface create the perfect habitat for sponges, corals, octopus, fish, eels, and shrimp. The highlight of this reef is the number of Green Sea Turtles that gather here to be “cleaned” by a fish known as the Hawaiian Cleaner Wrasse. The Green Sea Turtles are an endangered species and must not be touched or harassed. They are very curious animals and often allow snorkelers a good look from just a few feet away.


CORAL GARDENS SNORKEL TRIP (Maximum 22 Snorkelers)
Coral Gardens, a reef nestled in the protected bays at the base of the West Maui Mountains, is a canopy of hard coral that provides nooks and crannies for a spectacular array of marine life. The coral gently slopes from the mountain cliffs and teams with schools of fish. Parrotfish, angelfish, triggerfish, and butterfly fish abound. Turtles, crabs, octopus and eels are also resident here. Between the end of December and the end of April this trip affords a great opportunity to see Humpback whales in the National Marine Sanctuary.
