Whether you like it or not, tourism is the main engine of our economy here on Maui. During COVID, we had lofty utopian thoughts of diversifying away from tourism, but it hasn’t happened, and would take far too long for our residents to survive financially.
I grew up on Maui, so I’ve been to Molokini more times than I can count. But out of all my visits, my trip with Maui Snorkel Charters stands out the most.
