This place was awesome from the walk to the snorkeling. The beginning of the path smells really bad due to the fruit on the ground, but still worth it!

Small parking lot. Rumor has it from the locals that we asked that cars get broken into alot at this parking lot. We however didn't have any problems.
There are portapotties at the beginning of the trail. It is a bit of a walk to the beach if you are carrying alot of stuff. It is a rocky beach, not...

Beautiful area. This was one of my favorite snorkeling spots on Maui. I saw a variety of fish and several turtles. Also very well protected if the seas a little rough that day.
I always make a pilgramage here when on Maui. There is plenty of fish and coral. It is better the further out you go. I have to admit it has changed for the worse the last 10 years or so. a lot of boats come here now and create havoc for all others. The trail is not bad and can...

The first thing you notice upon reaching Honolua Bay is that parking is extremely limited. There are two places to park with trail access to the bay. This may sound like a bad thing on the surface, but it's not. Limited parking and large snorkel area make for a quiet and crowd-free environment!
Upon walking the trail back to the...

While it's a very scenic bay and walk through a jungle area to get to the bay, this is not where I found the best snorkeling.

Parking can be challenging. Not for little ones. Teens and up. Ten minute hike through jungle. Super rocky coast. Best snorkling done on far right of bay which you will need to wear hearty shoes to get too. Only go during a sunny day. Overcast, cloudy skies = brown,murkey water=bad snorkling
If you are into picture taking, this might be the place for you! We sat atop the cliff overlooking the bay. The waves are not all that huge, but big enough to surf on. So I managed to take some awesome shots that I will treasure for the rest of my life. The water is the most beautiful color blue...

The day we went recently ...it was too busy. That being said...it was still nice. The winds weren't as bad as other spots and the snorkeling was good.
This is a great bay to snorkel if you want to see a large variety of tropical fish, the waters are teeming with life.
Bring your snokel gear, an underwater camera, sunscreen and a bottle of water and see how many different fish you can spot.
The only downside is the access point is very rocky with very big rocks....
