Molokini Crater

off the coast of Makena, HI

User Rating:  Rating: 4 / 5   (Rate It)

My Suitcase:   (Add to My Suitcase)

One of Maui's most popular snorkeling and scuba diving destinations, this crescent-shaped island is the remnant of an extinct volcano. The island itself (a bird sanctuary) is off-limits, and the waters around it are a marine preserve, so visitors are guaranteed to see a host of wildlife. The protected bay ensures calm waters, and the maximum depth at the crater's center is 60 feet, so even first-timers should feel comfortable in the surroundings. Although there are limits to the number of boats that can moor, the crater is generally crowded with tourists. That's definitely not reason to avoid Molokini. Try to go early in the morning when the waters are clear and everything is calmer. Boats all along the western and southern coasts are available for charter.
