Molokini and Turtle Town Tours

Turtle Town is a place that brings you face to face with the sociable Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles. Known by their distinct deep green color, these creatures tend to gather in large groups in various locations on the Southwestern coast of Maui. Turtle Town is never located in the same spot. Sometimes there are several Turtle Towns and sometimes they will be found on different areas on or off the coast of Maui. The best way to get out to the famous Turtle Town is to go on a trip whose captain and crew have been conducting Turtle Town snorkeling trips for a while. You can be sure that the following tours are lead by some of the friendliest and most experienced staff in Maui. Depending on the day's conditions, they know where to look for the capricious sea turtles. The different captains of Molokini trips also keep in touch with each other and early morning sightings of Turtle Town get reported back to the main line.

 When you go to Turtle Town, you will see that these creatures are not exactly afraid of humans. They do not run away at the sight of a human nor do they flitter off as someone approaches them. This is part of the reason why before they were classified as an endangered species they were so easily hunted. Keep in mind that today they are still considered an endangered species and you have to keep a safe distance from them. A visit to Turtle Town will certainly enhance your Maui vacation.
