molokini


It's our last night in Hawaii, and while we're sad to leave this paradise, we're eager to get back home to our dogs and resume our regularly scheduled lives. But for today, we had time for one last adventure.

All the guidebooks say that on your first visit to Maui, you should take a snorkel trip to Molokini, a mostly submerged volcanic crater. It's protected from the winds, so it's a nice calm place to snorkel, there is an abundance of fish, and the visibility is great. It's not a cheap trip, though, plus about 1,000 people (maybe more?) go on different boats every morning. We didn't decide for sure that we would do it until after we got here. But I'm so glad we did because it was AMAZING. Yes, it was crowded, which is generally something I intensely dislike, but once you start floating and put your head in the water, other people just fade into the background, and it's just you and the magnificent ocean.

I won't bore you with a lot more words when the pictures speak so eloquently. Dive on in!
