High Speed Rafting in Maui pt. 2

After our excursion to the Kanaio Coast Lava Caves, we had several opportunities to snorkel on the trip. Our first spot was known for it's turtle activity and we did see 2 or 3 from a distance. The reef was nice and we saw several types of fish. Next we rafted out to Molokini Crater and snorkeled the inside and outside part of the Bird Sancuary Island. We saw a shark, several eels and more fish. It was starting to rain and the water was choppy so we zoomed over to a sunny reef in front in Wailea. This time we saw a very friendly turtle. He kept swimming right towards me. I floated there waiting for him to swim away and then I starting to back out of his way, but I think wanted to kiss me.

Here is a picture of Molokini and a sea turtle.
