Molokini
This small, crescent moon-shaped island is a Maui must-do. It’s about 3 miles off the island’s southwestern coast and spans more than 18 acres. I took the Kai Kanani Morning Express, a large catamaran which got me there right around 6:45 a.m. It launches off of Makena Beach, so it only takes about 15 minutes to reach the crater.

Turtle Town is a unique series of underwater lava formations developed long ago by the eruptions of submarine volcanoes. Just off the southern coastline, between Nahuna Point and Black Sand Beach, is an area that sea turtles flock to.

Olowalu
About 10 miles south of Lahaina on Hwy 30 is Olawalu. It’s easy to get to and you’ll find mounds upon mounds of coral reefs. It’s perfect for beginners due to the calm waters. It’s about a 200-yard swim to get to the reef system. Keep your eyes peeled for turtle-cleaning stations.

Polo Beach
A pair of perfectly shaped sand crescents form this beach. And families flock here because it’s located right in front of the Kea Lani Hotel, between Wailea and Makena. Snorkeling is excellent during calm seas around the rocky point to the north end of the beach
