Our second morning we got up VERY early (5:45), checked out of our hotel and drove south to where we went on a guided snorkeling trip out to an atoll (moon shaped island) named Molokini. It was amazing! Soooo many varieties of fish. We even saw puffer fish and an eel!
We also got to see the far side of the island where you cannot drive (there is an unauthorized road that goes around that side but it is not 
recommended for driving) and saw the 'latest' lava flows that cut into the ocean. The last recorded lava flow was around 1790. We were expecting to see a slow and smooth slope of rock into the ocean but it was so angular and jarring! We were both very surprised!
