Maluaka Beach Video Guide
Fronting the Maui Prince Hotel in Makena is Maluaka Beach. This beach is known for its beautiful scenery and calm morning waters. But what it's really known for is its famous snorkeling spot Turtle Town, on the beach's southern tip. Most people experience this amazing stretch of reef by purchasing tickets on a snorkel boat, only to find out later that they could have gotten to the same spot via Maluaka Beach.
Maluaka Beach has two parking areas - one on the beach's north side and one on its south side. To find the northern parking lot, turn off the main road just before the Maui Prince entrance onto the lower road. Then at the bottom of the hill, take a left. Right after historic Keawalai Church is the beach parking lot. The southside parking lot is located on the lower road just after the Maui Prince entrance. Just take a right onto that lower road and the parking area will be on the right side.

Maluaka Snorkeling: Hidden Coral Reef Gem in Turtle Town (updated)
Maluaka Beach is a very, very nice snorkeling location in South Maui, about 15 min. south of Kihei. There's a beautiful small reef just a short swim from the sandy beach and if you're up for a slightly longer swim, there's a much larger reef to the south with probably the largest expanse of completely live coral in all of Maui. Top that off with a generous sprinkling of turtles, coral reef fish, and some lava arches and it's definitely one of the top 5 snorkeling locations in South Maui. Plus, it's generally not too crowded, has showers, restrooms, a beautiful beach, and a decent sized parking lot.
So, how do you get there? Follow your smartphone directions, of course! Here are the coordinates of the public parking lot south of the beach, for whatever your favorite navigation app is: 20.643338, -156.443756 . And a Google maps link of course

Turtle off of Maluaka Beach in Maui
We came upon this guy while snorkeling off of Maluaka Beach in Maui. The camera was zoomed in so I am not as close as it appears. We stayed back six feet so as not to stress him out. As you can see he was quite calm and totally cool with our presence.

Best Beaches of Maui: Ulua Beach Park in Wailea
This beach is awesome. It's close to the Andaz Maui at Wailea and just beside Mokapu Beach. The water here is really clear. I swam out about 50 feet and watched the sunset. It was a memorable moment after spending the day touring around Maui.
The waves are mellow, and people were just laying out in the sun. A fantastic Hawaiian Beach beside one of Maui's best resorts.
We love exploring Hawaii and all the beaches, hotels, restaurants, and activities. Hawaii has so many family friendly beaches and resorts - we try to see them all!! Come to our website and explore Hawaii with us. Visit

Palauea Beach Video Guide
I shot this video guide of Palauea Beach (aka White Rock) on my Canon XH A1, with editing done in Final Cut Pro.
This beach is my favorite on the island. It's a great place for snorkeling, paddle boarding, boogie boarding, and lots of other beach activities. Waves are generally calm, but can become variable when there's a good south swell. Snorkeling is best in the early morning. Both ends of the beach provide lots of underwater life to explore, but I found a bit more activity at the south end. The kiawe trees provide needed shade in the afternoon.
There are no restrooms or amenities here, but there's a beach park down the road near the Fairmont Kealani if bathrooms become critical.
6 MUST SEES IN MAUI| Road to Hana, Snorkeling with Sea Turtles, Haleakala at Sunrise [AND MORE!]

► Shaka Guide for Road to Hana:
Best Things to do in Maui
► The Road to Hana! The Road to Hana was our favorite single day in Maui, it was a day absolutely PACKED with adventure! Our two biggest tips for the Road to Hana are to get and early start, and to use the Shaka Guide. When you start early, you'll beat a lot of the traffic and have more of the sites to yourself. Using the Shaka Guide will make sure you don't miss any amazing sites and waterfalls!
► Snorkel with Sea Turtles! There are snorkeling opportunities all around Maui, and the best part is that there are Sea Turtles at most of the spots! Honolua Bay & Black Rock are two places you can drive to and snorkel for free, where we saw 4-5 sea turtles at EACH PLACE! Molokini Crater is the most beautiful place to snorkel on Maui, however you can only get here by boat on an excursion.
► Haleakala at Sunrise! Haleakala at sunrise is one of the most stunning views you can imagine. You are above the clouds and get to see the sun rise over that horizon of clouds! It is an inverted sunrise people... You need a permit for this, which costs $1, but you have to get it at 7am 2 days before you are planning on going. Don't be late because they sell out fast!
► Pride of Maui Excursions. We took the Pride of Maui to Molokini Crater for snorkeling and for their dinner cruise! We had a blast on each trip, and highly recommend these tours. The guides were awesome, the food was great, and we got to experience a side of Maui that we wouldn't have been able to experience otherwise!
► Nakalele Blowhole. This is what it sounds like. There is a hole in the rocky coast North of Lahaina where water periodically shoots out of like a giant blowhole! It is super cool, and pretty incredible how high the water sprays!
► Farmer's Markets! You have to love fresh fruits and vegetables, and Maui has some of the best tropical fruits in the world. Head to a farmer's market (there are many on the island, we went to the one in Lahaina) and sample the local fruits and veggies, and bring some home to enjoy on your trip!
Where to Stay in Kauai
We recommend getting an Airbnb or hotel in the Lahaina area of Maui. We loved that area and felt like we were right in the middle of everything we wanted to see and do in Maui!
If you have any questions, we would love to hear from you in the Comments or on our About Us page. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hi, we are Julie & Zach, a couple who sold everything in 2018 and took off an adventure around the world! So far, this journey has taken us in a van ALL ACROSS the United States and Canada, from snorkeling with manatees in Florida to camping in the Grand Canyon to climbing glaciers in Canada, and everything in between! We were both working and going to school while living in Chicago in 2017 and 2018, and to be honest it really wore on us. We were exhausted, unfulfilled, and ready for an adventure. So, we made it happen! We saved up AS MUCH as we could over those 2 years - all homemade meals, no shopping, walk or bike everywhere, etc - and sold almost all of our belongings! With that money, we bought a renovated a van that we have been living in ever since! We started our YouTube channel a few weeks ago and have been loving creating videos! When we started, we were SO SO SO SO bad at it, and to be honest we still kinda suck, but we want to get better! What videos do you want to see? Let us know and we will make it happen!
We believe that travel is truly a life-changing experience, it certainly changed ours! When you get out of your everyday world and experience new cultures, foods, places, people, sights, sounds, and take an adventure, you grow as a person and you become a better version of yourself! You are WAY stronger than you know, and stronger than you give yourself credit for. You have the ability to do anything, so make it happen! BE FOREVER FREE!
