So we finally got to do some snorkeling and it was an awesome experience! We took a 1.5 hour drive to Lahaina (the other side of the island) which is where the tourist side of Maui is. Once there we boarded a boat tour to Lanai where we got to get out and start snorkeling. There were so many different types of fish and beautiful reef to be found. After about an hour in the water we got back on the boat and set back to Lahaina. Both Laurin and I (as well all most the people in the boat) were fighting back sea sickness when we came across a big pod of spinner dolphins, about 60 individuals we guessed. We followed them for a bit then got back on our way. Once back on shore we saw the sites for a bit longer, had the most amazing sorbetto, then made our way back to the retreat! Personally my favorite day in Maui!
Here is the vid of our adventures:

This summer I have been captaining a new adventurous trip that circumnavigates the nearby island of Lanai. Getting to see the 52 miles of coastline, most of which is hardly ever visited, is quite a treat.
