Very rocky so wear water shoes.......beautiful, clear water.......friendly crabs on the rocks. :) A short walk from parking at the street...would definitely go again.

Make your way up to Kapalua to visit Honolua Bay. Bring your snorkel and your water shoes and go for it. Never had a problem parking as we arrived before 9am. Water is gorgeous and i'd guess almost 30 ft deep in the center? Definitely more calm water than other places on the island so we did not have to... More

We went this morning at about 0700, having previously read that parking was an issue. Parked up with no problems, then took the short walk through the trees to the pebble and rock beach. Getting into the water can be difficult as others have said due to slippery rocks, but take your time. Visibility is great even immediately from the... More

We snorkeled in Honolua Bay several times and found it to be the best spot in Maui. Better by far than even Molokini. As everyone else found the parking may be difficult and the getting into the water a bit slippery. In the end, everyone agreed it was the best.

Last year while in Maui my wife and I snorkeled at black rock and it was amazing. This year we took our 5 and 9 year old and based on all the reviews went here first to snorkel. It may have just been the day we were here but the water wasn't very clear at all and the amount of... More

Honolua Bay in Maui Hawaii was breathtaking. We drove to a privately owned piece of land and parked on the side of the road to get to it. You wouldn't know it was there, walk through the rainforest and you come to a small and quaint dwelling where a local lives. He owns the land and asks only for a... More

Amazing free snorkeling. Just bring your gear. Many we spoke to saw sea turtles! Unfortunately we only had one set of snorkeling equipment so we were not able to swim to far out.

The pictures are not lying!! I could have stayed snorkeling there all day...the reef was healthy and the fish were plentiful! We arrived after 1:30pm and it was pretty rough, but we are strong swimmers and are not prone to motion sickness to we stayed in a couple of hours. The point to the left (when you are standing on...

I have snorkeled this area multiple times but the most recent encounter was disappointing. This bay has coral and fish, but do not go if it is raining/has rained recently. This causes the visibility to decrease substantially due to the run off. Parking can be a major issue- there is a larger lot on top of the cliff and two... More
