It feels good to be back in Hawaiian waters. I am back for another season as Expedition Leader aboard the Safari Explorer with UnCruise Adventures. On the week long cruises we kayak, snorkel, hike, and explore the islands of Molokai, Lanai, Maui, and Hawaii. As expedition leader it is part of my job to figure out the best places to take the guests to based on weather, wildlife, wind, visibility, and a host of other intricacies that play a factor. Something I always try to do is to find a good turtle snorkel spot to show off some of most charismatic sea life to our visitors.

We have a chance to encounter sea turtles at any of our snorkel spots, however Maui seems to be the hotbed for green sea turtles. The wreckage of the old Mala Pier and the vast coral reef at Olowalu are two of my favorite spots for almost guaranteed turtle sightings.
The pictures here are from one snorkel at Mala pier, while the video was taken at Olowalu. Even though it has been raining lately and the water was a bit murkier than normal it still looked like this! So if you are coming out to Maui, put this one your list. And if you can't get enough of sea turtles then you can find high detail large format sea turtle pictures for sale here: http://www.daimarsphotos.com/Wildlife/Sea-Turtles/
