Since snorkeling is one of the can't miss things to do in Maui, and Chris had not yet arrived for our initial snorkeling adventures (See link: World Class Snorkeling in Maui), we had to work this in while he was there. Rather than a remote little beach like last time, we went the opposite route, opting for one of the big snorkel charter boats known for being half snorkeling, half party. Perfectly suitable for us. And given that turtles highlighted our previous snorkeling experience, we tried to work this in as well, selecting a tour called the "Turtle Adventure" or something to that effect so that surely Chris would get a chance to see one.
We booked our tickets and hopped aboard the Pride of Maui along with about 100 other people, and set sail to a location that was supposedly frequented by the turtles. Haha yeah well....upon plunging in alongside a small army of snorkelers from not only our boat, but a similar boat next to us, all flailing about, I had serious doubts. Nonetheless, we proceeded to have an awesome time exploring the reefs below as well as the myriad of colorful fish schooling around. Check it out!
Although we didn't see any turtles, which was a bit of a letdown, we still had a great time being out in the water, swimming along with and through a ton of other snorkelers and scuba divers. After about an hour, we were summoned back to the ship and that's when the real fun began - music, open bar, open grill, and lots of cute girls. Any lingering disappointment quickly faded ;)
