If you love snorkeling, you are going to fall in love with Maui. The warm waters with an abundance of tropical fish, sea turtles (honu), and in-season humpback whales, you can't go wrong with bringing your mask, snorkel, and fins or purchasing/renting gear for your stay. Although you can snorkel from many of the resort beaches in Kihei, Lahaina, and Kaanapali, I would suggest that you head instead to these 4 snorkeling higlights.

There are many ways to do so: tent camping, renting cabins, backcountry camping, van camping at private campgrounds, and glamping (glamorous camping) in bungalows/yurts/ohana homes and more. However, you will need to make your plans in advance whether for the camping space, van, or full accommodations. Get the soup to nuts on the best camping or glamping options on Maui in this post.
