It’s easy to see why snorkeling in Maui is some of the best snorkeling in the world. Each year thousands of visitors travel to Maui to experience one of Maui’s fantastic snorkeling tours. Maui’s shallow reefs provide an excellent place to see the countless variety of fish and sea life that inhabit the Maui coastline. Like finding a hidden treasure, first time snorkelers take home a truly special experience from their Maui vacation with memories that last a lifetime.
At Honolua Bay, in the upper west of Maui, you’re treated to a protected large bay with beautiful coral reef and plenty of sea life. The summertime is usually the best time to go because winter swells can wrap in and murk up the water as well as make it unsafe to snorkel.
Before making the drive up to Honolua Bay, stop by The Snorkel Store for information on where to enter the water and also to get the best prices on snorkel gear rentals. Right now they’re giving gear rentals away for FREE to promote the Grand Opening of their new store. SO, make sure to get in on the deal while it lasts. A little bird told us that if you have a trip planned in the future, and you email or call to reserve gear for your trip, they most likely will honor the free rental deal. So contact them today and save in the future. 1.877.669.1077
snorkeled @ honolua bay in 2010, it was amazing, highly recommended
Nice! I hope you get back here soon!
Where is the access to this bay? I think I have seen it FAR below the road and always wondered how to get to it?
The easiest way is by boat, but you can park at the apex of the bay, and if you have adequate permissions to cross the land, you can walk through the jungle to the water.
I was dying and they didn’t think I was going to pull through. In my very long stay in ITU whilst in a coma I believe I went to Honolulu Bay. I had never heard of it before.
I worked there in a hotel as a Hairdresser and my kids went to a small local school. When I woke up I don’t remember but I kept saying about the Bay. I can see it very clearly. to me it was a amazing experience. Eventually I had to make a choice wether to stay or go with my kids,because they couldnt stay. We were all screaming and I said to the doctors I have to go with my kids.
To me it was a little taste of heaven. One day if I come into money id like to visit.
