Awesome. Thanks for taking the time. Could one snorkel Manale bay with the boat rental I mentioned the Maui thread?
Life isn't about checking the boxes. Nobody cares.

This is great SF! I can't wait to get to Maui this Spring.  I'm sure my experience will be less active than yours but this is really inspiring!

Really great TR! I can't imagine how much time it takes to actually write all this up with all the pictures included.

Also very impressed that you actually know the name of all the fishes!

Especially when you need to do it more than once...  :'(

Excellent TR and tons of great info. We plan to do Kauai and BI in the summer, but you are making me rethink Maui!

Thanks!

Awesome. Thanks for taking the time. Could one snorkel Manale bay with the boat rental I mentioned the Maui thread?

It is only a 5-minute walk from the harbor. But why would you want to do it? If you're paying these crazy hourly prices for the boat don't waste it by spending hours out of it.

Wow-GREAT TR!!! especially that pic of your car driving over the camera 8)

That was fun 8). Of course the only time the Jeep got stuck in the sand was when the camera was left unattended and out of sight... It was a frantic couple of minutes until I finally got free.

Really great TR! I can't imagine how much time it takes to actually write all this up with all the pictures included.

Google images FTW  :D

Don't. Maui is fantastic but so is Kauai and the BI. Each has its charms; if you've decided to do one thing do it and leave Maui for next time.

Was that with your Nikon?
I was wondering about that because it looks like your gopro is still on the hood...

It was with the GoPro. What you're seeing on the hood is the bracket thingy in the center of the hood with the GoPro roll bar mount attached.
