Well known for its bright blue oceans, lush scenery, and unique ecosystems, Hawaii feature some of the world’s top snorkeling spots. Here are just a few of the most popular spots for tourists looking for a great snorkeling experience:
- Kahaluu Beach Park: Popular among new snorkelers, Kahaluu Beach Park in Kona features a shallow, sheltered bay home to a huge range of fish and other sea life. While the beach park isn’t the main attraction, the snorkeling in the bay brings visitors face-to-face with tropical fish and even sea turtles.
- Molokini Crater: Located off the Maui coast, visitors must take a boat to Molokini Crater to enjoy its snorkeling. The small island’s bay is protected from waves and currents, and the water is extremely clear. Unlike other Hawaiian beaches, Molokini Crater does not have surfers or regular beachgoers, making the snorkeling experience even more unique.
- Tunnels Beach: One of Kauai’s most popular snorkel spots, Tunnels Beach features turquoise water and a green mountain backdrop. The area is often visited by sea turtles; however, the currents at Tunnels Beach are often deceptively strong, so it’s important that visitors pay attention to water conditions and know what to do if caught in a rip tide.
