The waters are calm and clear again for snorkeling after Hurricane Douglas moved past us on Sunday. Time for some snorkeling at Black Rock in Kaanapali, Maui!
Henry and Hattie are at the babysitter’s so Erica and I jumped out the door and in the water for some snorkeling at our favorite (best) #snorkeling spot in #Maui – Black Rock Beach outside of The Sheraton Maui Resort.
We share our tips on parking, where to find Hawaiian green sea turtles, and how to jump off of Black Rock if you dare. Leave your bag on Black Rock Beach and slip into the water for some amazing Maui snorkeling! Plus, the sunset Hurricane Douglas left behind was the best so far this year. Stay till the end to see it.
Kaanapali Beach and Black Rock are still empty as Hawaii stays closed to trans-Pacific travel. Enjoy views of these empty beaches while you can.
Hawaii will open though, so be prepared!

Great video again I’ve never seen turtles at Black rock that close
I miss Black Rock so much!
I could watch that sunset for hours. Thanks for another great video. P.S. the snorkeling and ‘cliff jumping’ was also very cool!
This is our favorite spot on Maui! Last time we were there I saw a bunch of eels and even got lucky enough to see an octopus! Can't wait to be there again! Super jealous how empty it is there right now, but also sad because I realize the financial implications for the businesses. Thanks for another great video!
That was amazing seeing the turtles and the beautiful sunset. Wow!🌴
Mahalo for the Maui fix 🤙
I bet the turtles are loving all the quiet time they're getting without the crowds. Can't wait to come experience it!
I've never seen it so empty and the water so clear. They is usually sand kicked up for the first 20-30 feet and assholes feeding the fish.

“Procrastination at its finest!” Ha love it! Love watching you guys, thank you for making these videos! Lived on the Big Island for one year, definitely want to move back but to Maui of course!😉Aloha from NM🤙🏼
Great video as always guys, quite informative. I usually always snorkel at Ulua beach in Wailea but now I will definitely check out Black Rock! I can't wait until I'm allowed to travel back to Maui. When I am back I will buy you two a smoothie. Be well.
Wow… we're supposed to be there few weeks ago.. 😔 Mahalo for the video.
I need help🙏🏽😅 I’m planning my vacation to go to Hawaii for the first time 🤩 next year around September… should I start looking now for deals or should I wait? And what is better, looking for vacation packages like AAA, Costco, etc. Or individually the hotels, activities, flights) don’t know where to start 😅
You guys are so cute!
Hope you loved your food!
I need to go snorkel at black rock while it’s so empty!! 😍
Having seen more than 100 different sunsets over the past 30 years from that exact location, I totally agree with you Jordan! That was the best I've ever seen. Thanks for capturing it!
Gorgeous!
