Maui Snorkeling - Molokini & Turtle Town

…. and I am going to have to ask you not to tell my husband because it is going to be a surprise for him. He doesn’t know it yet, but this will be the summer that he will love snorkeling as much as I do!

Watching this video aboard the Pride of Maui, a popular 65 foot Maxi Power Catamaran, brought back so many fun and exciting memories of my teen years spent visiting Molokini and Turtle Town. I have always been a water baby and visiting exotic locations combined with snorkeling sounded like a perfect summer holiday in the making for me. So, I bought us plane tickets to Maui and a cruise around the islands for the week after.

I’m so excited that it is so hard to keep a straight face, when all I am thinking about is Molokini…. Molokini…. and hoping my husband likes hawaiian green sea turtles.

When in Maui, the best way to get around to the best snorkeling destinations and to have a one-on-one meeting with this little guy is to book a snorkeling cruise.

Pride of Maui offers morning and afternoon cruises that take you to Molikini and Turtle Town, two of the world’s most ancient submerged volcanic calderas. Crystal clear water inside the craters offer unlimited visibility and is home to hundreds of marine animals endemic to the islands. I am hoping to do this…..

… and I want to do it at affordable prices! It is a very good thing that Pride of Maui has wonderful Molokini internet rates that will let us enjoy our vacation without breaking the bank. Even her sister ship, 50-foot Leilani, offers a more personalized snorkeling experience at an intimate setting is priced only at $71 per adult.

Of course, I fully intend to take advantage of Pride of Maui’s sunset cruises which are bound to be romantic enough that he will eventually forgive me for not giving him enough time to get as excited as I am about our upcoming snorkeling holiday!
