Dock wisdom

·

Book Molokini trips from Lahaina Harbor — departures 25 minutes south get you there before the wind builds.

·

Honolua Bay snorkel is best accessed by boat in summer (shore entry can be muddy and rocky).

·

Spinner dolphins and whales (Dec–Apr) are frequently seen from the beach at Kapalua Bay without a boat.

·

The Kapalua Bay free public parking fills fast; consider arriving by bike from Napili or Kaanapali on busy days.
