Makena Landing

Five Caves (5 Graves)

Just past the Makena Surf Condo, turn right on Makena Road. Proceed 4/10ths of a mile to a large brown sign saying Makena Landing. Parking, showers, and restrooms are available. There's good snorkeling to the left of the bay, excellent scuba diving to the right.

Dive Map: Makena Landing

 
About 2/10ths of a mile back along Makena Road is Five Caves/Graves. Underwater caves and ledges highlight this area. The outer reef is home to a large green sea turtle colony, sometimes caller "turtle town". WARNING: Do Not Enter The Caves.
 

Makena Landing - Five Caves (Graves)

Entry #1 is for the more experience diver. You'll find this area exciting. Entry in front of the grave sites is rocky lava. However, once offshore the area is riddled with caves and coral heads. Turtles are plentiful in this region.

Entry #2 is for anyone. Park at the public parking next to shower and restrooms. For the beginners, we recommend you enter off the small sandy beach and dive to the right.

Makena Beach

Drive through the Makena Resort community to the Maui Prince Hotel. You will see a large red hill (cinder cone) in the distance, called"Pu'u O Lai". Makena Beach extends from the base of this hill, south one mile. There are two paved parking lots on the right side of the road. This is one of Maui's most popular beaches. WARNING: Not Recommended For Snorkeling, Diving, Or Boogie Boarding Due To Large Surf and Strong Currents.
