"Amazingly clear water =awesome snorkling"

I was pretty nervous to snorkle, I guess I had seen "Jaws" too many times, but it was so spectacularly clear I didn't feel scared at all.  In fact I barely even felt like I was underwater I could see so far into the distance.  The most amazing thing was that we were there in February, during whale migration.  When I ducked under the water about 10 feet (maybe less)  I could HEAR the whales singing!! It was an experience I will never forget!

"one of the best snorkeling spots in all Hawaii"

Just offshore from all Wailea beaches sits Molokini, which looks like a tiny, half-moonshaped islet but really is a submerged cinder cone. It’s also a marine preserve and one of the best snorkeling spots in all Hawaii.

There are a variety of commercial outfits that will take you there; some offer picnic lunches, and most offer snorkeling instruction and equipment rental. It’s best to pick an early-morning cruise, when the waters are the most clear. Too many snorkelers kicking around tends to create murky, sandy water.
