Ahihi-Kina'u Natural Area Preserve

 
Makena Alanui Road,
Makena,
South Maui

Ahihi Marine Preserve encompasses all the shoreline from Ahihi Bay to La Perouse Bay. This is a private, secluded scuba and snorkel paradise with some of the clearest waters in Maui. There are no land facilities but the clear water and its mixture of coral and lava make for memorable underwater views. There is little sand to cloud the water.
 
 

This preserve was formed during the last lava flow from Mount Haleakala in 1790. The landscape formed by the lava is rugged and alien.
 
  DIRECTIONS:
Alhihi Bay is about 1.5 miles south of the Maui Prince Hotel. La Perouse Bay is about 2 miles south of that. Both are well south of Makena on Makena Alanui Road. The paved road ends at LaPerouse Beach.
 
 

Useful Information:

  • This area is a marine preserve so there is NO fishing, hunting, or removing rock, terrestrial or marine life
  • Clear water - excellent for snorkeling
  • Wear shoes as there is no sand, only very rough lava flows
  • Gravel access
  • Rocky shoreline
  • Limited roadside parking
  • No facilities
  • Excellent snorkeling and diving when waves are calm - not good for general swimming
  • Stay out of Anchialine pools to protect the natural resources
  • Avoid walking on live coral
  • La Perouse Overlook gives a great view of La Perouse Bay, site of Maui's last lava flow
