We went to Maui. I believe it was Honokeana Bay. It's just past Ka'Anapali on the northwest coast. The cove was sort of off the beaten path, but pretty cool once you got in the water. The beach was a little rough--like rough lava rock and pebbles.
But it was a great little cove. TONS of Parrotfish and (devoured) coral. There were also hawkfish, an eel or two and triggers.
We were snorkeling, which made it difficult but fun to keep up with the turtle when he dove. It was so cool. It was the coolest thing at the end of an hour or so of following him around when he dove to meet up with another two green turtles.
We surfaced and had swam all the way around and out of the cove. It was exhausting swimming back to the beach, but worth it.
We also took a tour boat out to Molokini Island and they drop you off on the way at detour site, "Turtle Town," where tons of green turtles hang out and feed.
