SNORKELED TURTLE TOWN REEF Kihei, Maui, Hawaii

Dive Team: Dave Miller, Rosie Miller

Date: March 4, 2025

After snorkeling Molokini Crater, our dive boat took us across the bay to a dive spot called Turtle Town Reef.  On the way we saw humpback whales (Photo#1) breaching the water. The whales travel 3,500 miles from Alaska for their annual mating season off the Hawaiian Islands.

At turtle town, Rosie immediately spotted one adult turtle and two babies breaking the surface of the water near our boat. I saw a few turtles lying on the sand between coral reefs and I took photos of an adult turtle on the bottom. (Photo #2)

After the snorkel trip, the boat crew prepared a delicious lunch of island fish sandwich, coleslaw, cookies and topped off with Captain Justin’s famous Maui Mai Tai.

Back on land, we had dinner at Nalu’s South Shore Grill, enjoying crab cakes, Korean tacos and Rosie’s Mai Tai? Our table had frequent visitors, a wild chicken and her babies which were everywhere on the island.
