Honokeana Bay

Awesome location for snorkeling with turtles. Even if you don’t snorkel, you can sit on the rocks and see them everywhere in the water. Parking is tricky, but park on the side streets for free parking. There is a tiny path leading to the bay. Visibility in the water can be tricky in the afternoon so I suggest going in the morning.

One of the best places we snorkeled! Definitely worth checking out if your staying in the area or want to see some turtles 🐢 Pros: - so much wildlife, fish, turtles, eels, sea cucumbers, urchins - not very busy Cons: - no clear entry point, if you don’t have access via one of the apartments complex’s shore lines then I’d recommend going to the right corner of the bay where you can climb down some rock and enter through a small cove - parking may be hard, we where staying in one of the apartments along the bay so we never struggled with this but if you are coming from somewhere else it could be hard - no public bathrooms

Turtle city. Saw so many chill turtles. Public entrance is a bit hidden, but it’s there. Entry into water can be slippery. But it is well worth it once in

A beautiful, rocky bay with swift surges and no easy access to the water. I saw three turtles from a distance as they floated at the surface. The highlight of my walk along an unimproved public access path was a viewing of a monk seal! It swam up along the bank and paused in a shallow finger of water among the rocks. Rugged and beautiful!

This is an amazing snorkeling location, tons of fish and coral here. We spent about two hours here, saw a bunch to tangs, damsels, and coral. We will be back to Maui and we will be back to this location. The water is more or less calm and clear. There are a very few spots to get into this bay so that is the challenge in this area.
