There is no doubt that Maui offers some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. I am sure you have considered taking a chartered snorkeling trip with one of the big boat companies. While the opportunity to take amazing pictures is there with meals included to the more remote spots, the price range can leave you wanting. Do not fret, Maui is home to some of the best snorkeling in the world and you don't need a boat charter to take you there. I simply recommend stopping by a snorkel bobs or any snorkel/dive shop and getting your own gear. A favorite spot to take kids and beginners is Ahihi cove. There are plenty more spots before and past Ahihi but, this is perfect for beginners and young children. It is rich with ocean life and blocked from rough water and waves. Also, you might want to ask the local dive shop where might be some good locations that day if the weather or ocean is rough.
