Synopsis

Snorkel Maui, Lanai and Molokai is the one and only guidebook exclusively devoted to snorkeling on these beautiful islands. No other guide comes close to the level of snorkeling detail provided here. Take SMLM, along with a good general guidebook of your choice, and you'll have all the details you need for a great vacation! Now revised and expanded, with full color maps, as well as 75 beach and 80 fish pictures! From a colorful cover to 39 accurate maps and details on 81 snorkeling sites, SMLM draws you into the fascinating underwater world that shouldn't be missed by anyone touring these islands. As Dave Barry says: When you finally see what goes on underwater, you realize that you've been missing the whole point of the ocean--it's like going to the circus and staring at the outside of the tent. An award-winning book designer contributed a sophisticated, yet readable style to the cover and interior. It's worth going to the Maui just to swim and snorkel, and Snorkel Maui, Lanai and Molokai is the snorkeling buddy you want to have along.

About this title

From the Author:

Why Snorkel Maui? Maui offers more snorkeling sites within easy reach than any other Hawaiian island. There is something here for every snorkeler and ample variety to keep a whole family happy. Laze around on endless golden beaches and cool yourself with colorful snorkeling swims. Follow this up with good food, shopping and socializing if you're so inclined. It's all close at hand on Maui. There are many sites with easy entry from calm, sheltered bays and broad, golden sandy beaches. Maui has extensive reefs with plenty of colorful and exciting creatures. Popular Molokini Island, with its crystal-clear waters, or the unique island of Lanai lie just a brief excursion away, and offer a change of pace if you're in the mood. The choices are ample: beautiful, sweeping expanses of soft coral sand and diverse snorkeling sites; action-packed total destination resorts with all amenities; secluded little-known beach retreats just around the bend; or nearby, less touristed neighbor island hideaways. Choices like this have made Maui a legendary destination. Snorkel Maui and Lanai makes it easy. An active vacation is memorable for adventure as well as relaxation. Hassles and missteps finding out where to go can raise your blood pressure and waste your time. We've done extensive research that will help you quickly locate appropriate sites that fit your interests and abilities, saving your valuable vacation hours. Snorkeling sites in Hawaii are sometimes tricky because of changeable waves and currents, so it's best to get good advice before heading out. Everyone has had their share of unpleasant experiences due to vague directions as well as outdated or inaccurate information. We have created the Snorkel Hawaii series as that savvy snorkeling buddy everyone needs. We have snorkeled all the major sites listed many times, and many that are not well known. The challenge lies in finding them quickly, as well as how to enter and exit, and where to snorkel, so you'll have a safe and rewarding experience. Our detailed maps and instructions will ease the uncertainty, saving you time and effort. Try to visit Maui and Lanai at least once in your life and by all means don't miss the underwater world. Aloha!
