Anyone snorkel Black Rock Beach? - any good? - also Molakini Crater?

I'm in Kaanapali - How about the Public Aquarium - worth seeing?

Thanks

The aquarium is small but one of the best around. Yes, do it. I bought a week's pass when I was there and visited often. I recommend.

Molokini - if you have to ask that suggests you haven't been there yet. :) The answer is a resounding YES. The water clarity off this island is 100 times that of anything accessible by shore.

Black Rock beach - dunno, maybe someone else can chime in on that one. Generally speaking though it's hard to go wrong at any of the snorkel spots, unless you have a bad day and the water is murky.

If you don't have this book - http://www.hawaiirevealed.com/books-apps/maui-revealed - look for it, it will make a difference for your remaining days on the island.

Enjoy your time there! I'm jealous.. (although I guess I shouldn't be, we were on the Big Island a month ago. I'd rather still be there though than where I am currently, I'll just say that...)

Piiholo Zipline was a lot of fun. Cool little town there as well.

So many places to snorkel, you have to try them all! Are the Humpbacks still there, or have they started their migration? If you go to Molokini try to get on Quicksilver, it's a great trip!

My favorite is mile marker 14 south of Lahaina.
Although I saw a manta ray at Sugar beach.

The best we saw was Kapalua north of Lahaina. Its good this time of year. In summer Honolua is supposed to be great, but I understand it has higher surf especially in winter.

Maluaka beach
There are bathrooms there. When facing the water snorkel left around the rocks. Fish and corals galore, even an arch and turtles. Go when the surf is down.
