We took this boat and it was a wild ride!

We went through one of the roughest channels in the world! They are the only company that has permission to do tours through those waters! We caught so much air! I kept waiting for someone to fly off and into the ocean, but everyone managed to hang on! I think I have only seen waves that big in the movies! A few times the waves came over the front of the boat and we got drenched!
They played really fun music while we made our way over to the Kanaio Coast to see the sea caves and the lava arches. It was really cool. You can see more pictures in our picasa album.


After we all got our fill of pictures and excitement (they backed us into a sea cave and sped out just before a huge wave came in that would have smashed us into the ceiling!), we made our way over to our first snorkel spot. It is a favorite place for sea turtles and we saw a ton! One was HUGE! We didn't get a picture of it, but it was bigger than me!

We spent some time there and then headed out to Molokini Crater to do some more snorkeling!
It was really pretty! I know it may sound kind of silly, but snorkeling with Jason is kind of romantic to me. He is always so sweet and makes sure my equipment all fits right. When we get in the water, he holds my hand and stays close. I love that we have been able to experience so many cool things together.
After Molokini, we went to one more snorkeling spot and had lunch. I loved our guides! They would stop when ever someone would see a whale, which was often. We would sit and watch it until we thought it had gone back down for a while. Jason got this great shot.
We also came across a pod of dolphins! I couldn't believe how friendly they were! They came right up to our boat and played in the water around us for a while!
It was seriously amazing! We loved the entire trip! The boat ride was a blast, the scenery was beautiful, the whales and the dolphins were awesome, the snorkeling was so fun and really pretty. It was just a great time! I highly recommend it to anyone going to Maui! Their website is http://www.bluewaterrafting.com/
