Maui Snorkeling

Maui Dive Shop- Snorkeling on Maui, Maui Activities, Maui Snorkel Trips, Maui Snorkeling Locations Home | Dive Trips | Snorkel Trips | Online Store | Dive Courses | Rental Equipment | Specials 3 Hour Molokini and Turtle Town Snorkel Each day, we offer a 3-hour snorkeling trip to both Molokini and Turtle Town departing from the Kihei boat ramp at 7:00 and 10:15 a.m. All trips include use of our dry snorkel sets and wetsuit tops or floatation devices. Snacks and non-alcoholic beverages are complimentary. 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 33% of these are endemic, they are found only here in Hawaii. Occasionally we see dolphins, whales, manta rays and Hawaiian monk seals. Turtle Town 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.
