I had read that Honolua Bay is a great snorkeling site, but it wasn’t until my most recent trip to Maui that I got to experience it. Is it a great snorkel spot? Absolutely! I’d even go so far as to say it’s one of the best we’ve experienced. Beyond the numerous tropical fish, we also saw many honu (Hawaiian green sea turtles), eels and a large octopus.
The Teralani snorkel sail leaves from Kaanapali Beach. We boarded directly from the beach with assistance and direction from the crew.
After a safety briefing, we had a continental breakfast with fruit and tropical breakfast breads.
On the October day that we enjoyed this snorkel excursion, we spent about an hour and a half in Honolua Bay plus we went to a second site called Slaughter House for another forty or so minutes.
On the way back to Kaanapali Beach, we had a tasty barbecue lunch while taking in the views of Molokai, Lana’i and of course Maui.
We chose to go snorkeling with Teralani because they are one of the few companies that we found that goes out to Honolua Bay. Additionally at the time, as Costco members, we were able to get a great deal.
Overall, we were very pleased with the service and snorkel experience with Teralani.
See our Teralani snorkel video overview to get a better idea of the experience.
