On Molokaʻi
With 1,200 miles of coral reef fringing the Hawaiian Islands, snorkeling and scuba diving are two of the island's most popular water activities. The South Shore of
Molokaʻi is home to
Hawaiʻi’s longest barrier reef. At 28 miles, these lush underwater gardens are teeming with green sea turtles, spotted eagle rays and a variety of tropical fish.
On Oʻahu
Don’t let the name scare you away from Shark’s Cove on the
North Shore of
Oʻahu—this rocky bay with clear, shallow waters is one of the top snorkeling and shore-diving locales in the world (and no, sharks aren’t common here).
On Kauaʻi
Lydgate Beach Park is protected by a rock barrier, making its calm waters perfect for
keiki (kids).
On Maui
World-class snorkeling and diving can be found just off the shore of Maui at
Molokini Crater, where crystal-clear waters support an exceptional diversity of marine life.
On Lānaʻi
The tide pools near
Hulopoʻe Bay are your best bet for snorkeling, while the lava caverns of
Lānaʻi Cathedrals are a spectacular destination for a boat dive.
On the Island of Hawaiʻi
With more miles of coastline than any other Hawaiian Island, the island of
Hawaiʻi is a haven for marine life. Locals and visitors alike flock to the gentle shores of
Kealakekua Bay and
Hōnaunau Bay on the Kona Coast.
