Snorkeling South Maui

The South Maui communities of Kihei, Wailea, and Makena feature some of the best snorkeling on Maui. From the extremely popular Ulua beach park in the heart of Wailea, to the obscure Palauea ("White Rock") beach off Old Makena Road South of the Kea Lani, and well beyond, you can find a welcoming stretch of sand and a lively reef every few miles. Wind and wave action often reduce visibility. If you have a calm night followed by sunny morning, don't miss a chance to get up early and into the water to enjoy the view.
