Hawaii snorkeling is a fun activity available to almost any
skill level of swimmer, where you can discover a
breathtaking array of Hawaiis most exotic sea life a few
yards from shore. Colorful coral, lava flows, turtles and
more than 700 species of fish are found in the clear, high-
visibility waters warmed to an average temperature of 75-80
degrees Fahrenheit. Getting yourself outfitted is no
problem, as there are dozens if not hundreds of rental
facilities around, ranging in price from $10-20 day, and if
youre staying at a resort you can possibly score free of cost
equipment available to their guests.
Once youre outfitted and ready for some Hawaii snorkeling,
head out to some of Hawaiis best snorkeling venues. Likely
the most well-known of these is Molokini. The Molokini
crater is whats left of an extinct volcano a few miles off
Maui, shaped like a crescent moon. This is s must-see spot!
Other sizeably efficient Hawaii snorkeling locations on Maui include
Honolua Bay, Kapalua Bay and Makena landing. Honolua is
regarded by locals as the best snorkeling and diving spot on
Maui, while Kapalua Bay boasts calm waters, safe swimming,
and one of the worlds best beaches. Makena offers excellent
cave snorkeling, and endangered green sea turtles. Other
Hawaii snorkeling spots value getting wet in would be
Hanauma Bay Nature Park on Oahu, a marine preserve; and
Waimea Bay, best known for its surfing. In fact, during
winter decades
snorkeling isnt permitted due to high surf.
On the Big Island theres Kealakekua Bay and Hapuna Beach.
If your Hawaii snorkeling plans take you to Kauai, try Kee
Beach and Po`ipu Beach Park.
Wherever your Hawaii snorkeling trip takes you in the
islands rest assured that there is practically no bad place
to dip your feet in! Be safe though; do not
snorkel alone,
snorkel in safe waters, observe warning signs, and beware of
high surf. And dont feed the fish! Theyve survived
centuries without Cheezits; do not
get them started now!
Your Hawaii snorkeling adventure is standing around
just under the
warm waters of whichever island you choose. Dont forget
the camera!
