Maui Snorkeling


Maui is as beautiful underwater as it is above.   Dazzling displays of butterfly fish, angelfish, tang, and grunts surround you, with needlefish, flounder, and crabs providing unusual- looking sights.   The water is warm year-round, though in winter you might want to rent a wetsuit if you plan on snorkeling for very long.  However, if you get cold, it's a good excuse to sun yourself on the gorgeous beaches! 

The best snorkeling on Maui can be found offshore at Molokini Crater.  A submerged volcano, the crater has been declared a Marine Life Conservation District, and fish and sealife abound.  We didn't snorkel there, but we did scuba dive, and we can vouch for it's beauty.  It does get very crowded there, so try to get there early.  All snorkel tour operators visit Molokini.

The best sites from shore can be found, coincedentally enough, where the best beaches are.  From Kihei to Makena, up around Napili Bay, and especially around Olawalu, Maui offers up some of the best snorkeling anywhere.   Just remember, if you want to see lots of fish, go where there is coral or rocky areas.  Stay away from sandy bottoms, as coral can't grow there, providing no food or shelter for the fish.

The links in the table below will give you a good overview of good snorkeling sites and tips for good snorkeling, and who to book snorkeling tours with.  Check out the tour operator sites to pick a tour that sounds good to you, and then visit our Discounts & Bargains page to save big $$!  You can also see our pages on Scuba Diving and Snuba for photos and more information about the underwater world.
