Molokini Crater, Maui Hawaii

If you could take just one photo: Molokini Crater, Maui Hawaii

When i woke up in the morning , the smell of the water intised my senses, the salty, calming smell filled the house. I took a stroll on the white sandy beach, the small pebbles between my toes, and the warmth of the sand, the crashing of the waves, the sun warming my back, ah i knew i was in Hawaii. I came up upon a sea lion taking a nap in the sand not worried about any of the many onlookers. The seagulls were flying over the water. I could not resist any more I had to jump into the crystal blue water for a swim, the water was a little cold but it felt refrshing after the long walk and the hot sun, I splashed around like i was a kid again, I floated on my back and looked at the beautiful blue sky, not a cloud for miles. I walked out of the ocean, and looked at the mountain skyline, the taste of salt filled my mouth, i was refreshed. I walked back to our place, and we decided to go out for lunch. We had the most splendid lunch, right on the water, we had a local fish there, it was fresh and perfectly cooked, It melted in my mouth like butter, the taste of lemon and rosmary, as i gazed over the the railing at the vast ocean and at the mountainas range surrounding me, I realized, we are all very lucky to be apart of this wonderful experience. Later that night after a full day of touing the island, looking at mountains of flowers, and swiming with exotic fish of many colors and sizes, hiking to waterfalls taller then we could believe, finding hidden treasures, and learning acient stories, we took another stoll on the beach, the weather was deliftfull, it was pure bliss, with the warm breeze,ever so lightly tossiling my hair. The sand was cool, the stars were bright, i felt like i belonged. I was in true bliss, what a wondeful place to visit.

Wouldn't it be fun to swim inside an aquarium, with brightly colored fish darting in front of you? Molokini Crater, a small crescent-shaped volcanic rim just offshore from Maui, perennially makes the "Top Ten" of snorkeling spots in the world. This marine sanctuary filled with 250 species of tame fish, monk seals, harmless reef sharks, and eels, inside a bowl of coral formations. The blue ocean water is calm and warm, with up to 180 feet of visibility. Feeding fish is prohibited, so bring a shiny object and dangle it front of you, and swarms of dazzling fish will excitedly dart all over. Wiggle the object and some of the braver ones will try to bite it. There are many dive shops who take tour groups to the island, and they provide masks, snorkels, fins, and flotation tubes for an almost effortless way to play with these friendly sea creatures. Bring an underwater camera.
