Snorkeling

Snorkeling, and simply swimming in the ocean in general, is super fun.

One morning, at the best spot we found, we were simply surrounded by these black fish.  It was so fun to swim around with a school that big.

We also did a snorkeling trip out to Molokini.  I have to admit that we found better snorkeling on our own (Like right outside the hotel :)), but the trip was super fun.  We got up early to board and whale watched our way to the site.

We snorkeled at two different places and had an awesome lunch on the boat while we looked for sea creatures. When we saw this dolphin, we also saw a mama and baby dolphin, quite possibly the cutest thing ever.

On the way back, we stopped at a popular turtle destination.

Speaking of turtles, we got to swim with one at our hotel beach. We saw him when we were out there one day and followed him for a while and then on our last morning, we decided to take one more swim around the reef and were lucky enough to see him again. Turtles are cool.
Also cool? This little lizard that just about made me jump off my bar stool when we landed on my shoulder!
