Honolua Bay is a marvelous snorkeling area for all. Because its a bay, the water remains fairly calm with great visibility. The beach is all rocks, so don't expect to do much sunning. But we saw multiple sea turtles and mulitudes of fish. Also, parking is sometimes an issue and you have to park quite a ways down the road... more

This is the BEST spot for snorkeling! We saw a honu (turtle) with their little baby. We saw tons of colorful fishes on the right hand side. To get there go to the end of Kapalua. When you see the Honolua lookout, you can park there and walk down to the entrance (where everyone else is parked). There is several... more

My husband and I snorkeled 3 times at Honolua Bay while in Maui from June 10th through the 21st. There are lots of colorful fish and other ocean critters such as eels and turtles, making it a popular place as evidenced by the numerous people who were there during each of our visits. Also, this is a destination of several... more

i'm almost reluctant to write a glowing review because i want this to be my own little secret. even though i found it in a travel book. i never snorkeled before, and i ended up coming here all week. there was high surf and south swells my entire trip, so north beaches were really the best places to go. i... more

We swam with sea turtles, were watched and followed by a really colorful squid, and swam away quickly (were told later there was no need to be scared) from a 6 foot eel. The fish are from every color in the rainbow. I have never seen so... more

After reading a review on Trip Advisor, we decided to venture north from Kaanapali Beach to Honolua Bay. There were two other cars at the little parking area along the narrow road. My son and I started down the little farm road toward the snorkeling and were really WOWED by the beautiful rainforest area on the walk. It was one... more

During our visit to Maui in mid April 2008, we decided to take a trip up the West coast of Maui past Kahana and Napili. It turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. The first stop we made was here at Honolua Bay. Every other beach on Maui was windy and rough, but this site was... more

The best snorkelling! Protected cove so no wave action. Tons of reef, huge variety of fish, turtles, eels. Water was a titch cold but got used to it. It is a slippery in/out but worth every effort!!! Get there early, it does get crowded. more

We just returned from our Maui vacation, and we had booked the Kapalua Kai for Honolua for the 2nd time. We thoroughly enjoyed our first trip with them in 9/04. Although the sea was to rough for Honolua, the took us to a different site south of Lahaina. Although it wasn't our original destination, we still had a great time.... more
