Maui: Alii Nui Afternoon Turtle Snorkel – West Maui Mountains, Hawaii

EXPERIENCE

Turtle Point offers Maui’s largest coral reef system nestled in the protected bays at the base of the West Maui Mountains. The caverns and ledges in the coral and lava, as well as the lava fingers nearing the surface create the perfect habitat for sponges, corals, octopus, fish, eels, and shrimp. The highlight of this reef is the number of Green Sea Turtles that gather here to be “cleaned” by fish known as the Hawaiian Cleaner Wrasse. The Green Sea Turtles are an endangered species and must not be touched or harassed. They are very curious animals and often allow snorkelers a good look from just a few feet away.

This three hour afternoon excursion’s destination is the famous Turtle Point. This area has the second longest continuous reef on Maui and has a great population of Hawaiian Honu (green sea turtles). Watch these protected creatures, from a safe distance, as they rest on the bottom or glide gently over the colorful beds of coral. The sails will not go up on this trip so we can provide you with maximum snorkel time on this three hour trip.
