Blue water rafting

 We went on the Blue Water Rafting Adventure which came highly recommended.  We got to get up close to the lava arches, grottos and sea caves on the Kanaio coast.  It was awesome to get to snorkel the remote locations including La Perouse Bay and the Molokini Marine Preserve.
 Blue Water Rafting is the only company that gets up close to the lava forms.

 Like I said, it was incredible to see this so close.  The way the captain handled the boat to get us so close was impressive.

 I got the 2 above and the one below at the Molokini Crater.  It was a great spot to snorkel.  Blue Water Rafting is the only company that takes you to the back side of the crater.  The other boats are too big.  The back side has amazing views of the cliff walls that plunge down 300-400 ft



Our last snorkel spot was Makena to see the sea turtles.  They were in more shallow water so it wasn't as clear there.
