This is where you need to snorkel on Maui!

Erica and I love to snorkel. Since it was one of the few things to do in 2020 in Hawaii, we go a lot. After combing all the famous and not-so-famous #Maui snorkel beaches, we whittled down the list to our top 5.

Maui gets expensive but snorkeling is always free or cheap if you have to rent snorkel equipment. That is why we always recommend jumping in the many bays and coves around Maui for great snorkeling.

Stay till the end as we share 2 snorkel places that Maui locals love to visit. If you are looking for something different on your Maui vacation, try these snorkel locations and you will not be disappointed.

We drop-in our 7 tips on snorkeling in Maui throughout the video. These tips will make sure you fully experience the epic snorkeling Maui has to offer. Because we believe Maui is the best Hawaiian Island for snorkeling. Oahu is a close second but Maui has so many more locations and fewer people.
