MOLOKAI
Snorkeling
|
When the waters are calm, Molokai offers excellent snorkeling;
you'll see a wide range of butterfly fish, tangs, and angelfish.
Good snorkeling can be found--when conditions are right--at many
of Molokai's beaches.
During the calm summer months, very professionally run 2-hour
snorkel excursions are offered on the west side.
Most Molokai beaches are too dangerous for snorkeling in winter,
when big waves and strong currents are generated by storms that
sweep down from Alaska. From mid-September to April, stick to
Murphy Beach Park (also known as Kumimi Beach
Park) on the East End. In summer, roughly May to mid-September,
when the Pacific Ocean takes a holiday and turns into a flat lake,
the whole west coast of Molokai opens up for snorkeling.
Kawaikiunui, Ilio Point, and Pohaku Moiliili
(West End): These are all special places seldom seen by even those
who live on Molokai. You can reach Kawaikiunui and Pohaku Moiliili
on foot after a long, hot, dusty ride in a four-wheel-drive vehicle,
but it's much easier and quicker to go by sea.
Kapukahehu (Dixie Maru) Beach (West End): This
gold-sand family beach is well protected, and the reef is close
and shallow. The name Dixie Maru comes from a 1920s Japanese fishing
boat stranded off the rocky shore. One of the Molokai Ranch cowboys
hung the wrecked boat's nameplate on a gate by Kapukahehu Beach,
and the name Dixie Maru stuck. To get here, take Kaluakoi Road
to the end of the pavement, and then take the footpath 100 yards
(91m) to the beach.
Murphy (Kumimi) Beach Park (East End): This
beach is located between mile markers 20 and 21, off Kamehameha
V Highway. The reef here is easily reachable, and the waters
are calm year-round.
