The winds were pretty strong this afternoon so we didn't get to head out to the Molokini Crater {the afternoon excursion destination is based on the trade-winds} but we did go out to the Coral Gardens to do some snorkeling.
We took sail from Māʻalaea Boat Harbor on the Four Winds II, a 55 foot, glass bottom catamaran. The Four Winds II Features: Roomy Deck Space (upper and lower decks), Covered Cabin (plenty of shade), Complete Galley and Bar, Large Glass Bottom Viewing Room, Free Use of Snorkel Equipment, Fresh Water Shower, Waterslide, BBQ Grills (plus a crew that knows how to cook!), Stereo Sound System (playing a fun selection of music), Free Use of Optical Masks, Optional SNUBA, Marine Naturalist and Videographer, Onboard Daily Movie (filmed that day - starring you, your fellow passengers, and all the beautiful marine life), Photo Services and Underwater Camera Rentals, Wetsuit Rentals, and More!
The crew provided us with flotation devices, snorkel gear and some snorkeling instruction. Several of us rented wet suits (with holes in the butt! LOL). We looked awesome, by the way! Once we got to the Coral Gardens they let us loose into the ocean for some snorkeling. I was a little too worried about floating-away children to have the best time at snorkeling but most everyone seemed to really enjoy it. Like I said- the winds had picked up so the waves kept pushing us pretty far away from the boat. We were pretty tired by the time we made it back to the boat. ;)
Dad & I rented water-proof cameras so it was fun to get some pictures of us & the creatures of the Sea.
Once we got back on the boat, they served a BBQ lunch. It was great to have it all provided and just be able to enjoy the ride. It would have been way awesome to see the sea life in the Crater (next time, right?) but we had a super fun time being all together!
