We ended up staying in Maui for 3 days. Before we left we took a Kayaking trip on the southern coast. It took a bit to get the hang of kayaking, turning, and paddling. We chose Maui Eco Tours and they were great. We chose one of their longer excursions with 3 snorkeling stops. We ended up being the last ones to each stop and that was ok, we were taking it all in.
We had the opportunity to swim with the sea turtles. I was just casually looking at one which was about 10-15 feet away when one swam right under me. It was crazy. They are so graceful swimming so fluidly through water. We must of seen at least 15 of them at different times. As we went snorkeling we tried to see and identify all the characters from "Finding Nemo". With the sea turtles we saw "Crush", "Gil" the moorish idol, "Bloat" the porcupine fish, and "Bubbles" the yellow tang. We thought we saw "Nemo" but it was another fish and thank heavens we didn't see "Bruce", "Anchor", or "Chum".
