Honolua Bay is one of West Maui’s most beautiful coves and, on calm days, a standout for snorkeling. It sits inside the Honolua–Mokulē‘ia MLCD, which protects coral and fish and restricts extraction or damaging activities — a big reason the reef can shine when visibility is good.
If you spend even a few minutes floating above a Maui reef, chances are you’ll see a few black-barred, deep-bodied fish gliding through the blue. That’s the Hawaiian Sergeant—known locally as mamo—an energetic reef dweller found only in Hawaiʻi. These curious damselfish are easy to spot as they hover in small groups over rock ledges and surge channels, right where the ocean is alive with motion.
When it comes to college basketball, few events capture the excitement and competitive spirit of the sport, such as the Maui Invitational. This prestigious tournament, held annually on the beautiful island of Maui, has become synonymous with top-tier basketball and unforgettable moments.
