Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Koloa Landing
Koloa Landing at Hanaka'ape Bay is a very popular dive site, especially for scuba instruction. The entry is easy, and there is plenty to see to the left and right of the landing.
From Lihu'i heading West on Highway 50, turn left on Highway 520 (Maluhia Road) at mile mark 6.8. After about 3 miles, you'll hit a T in the road at Koloa. Jog right and then an immediate left onto Po'ipu Road, and head South to Po'ipu. At about mile 4.8, take the RIGHT fork. After .2 mile, take the left fork. You'll see the landing in about a tenth of a mile.

This was the 7th and 8th time I dove this site. Entry is easy. This is a great training site, which is why it is used a lot by local dive operators for that purpose. Open area to the front and right, reef to the left. On this day, the viz was very low, especially at the landing due to a South Swell. Lots and lots of marine life. Very cool dragon moray eel. Tons of white spot damselfish protecting their colonies of algae, and sergeant major protecting its purple eggs. I also saw a large school of convict tang. To see the abundant marine life, you need to go really slowly.
