Maalaea Turtle Point Snorkeling Adventure

This three hour afternoon excursion's destination is the famous Turtle Point. This area has the second longest continuous reef on Maui and has a great population of Hawaiian Honu (green sea turtles).

Maalaea Harbor

Short, sweet and straight to the turtles. This breezy afternoon snorkel excursion heads directly to the second longest continuous reef on Maui, home to a healthy population of native Hawaiian Honu. You’ll get the chance to swim near these gentle creatures, from a safe distance, as they glide over the vibrant beds of coral.
Turtle Point offers Maui's largest coral reef system nestled in the protected bays at the base of the West Maui Mountains. The caverns and ledges in the coral and lava, as well as the lava fingers nearing the surface create the perfect habitat for sponges, corals, octopus, fish, eels, and shrimp. The highlight of this reef is the number of Green Sea Turtles that gather here to be "cleaned" by fish known as the Hawaiian Cleaner Wrasse. The Green Sea Turtles are an endangered species and must not be touched or harassed. They are very curious animals and often allow snorkelers a good look from just a few feet away.
