All boats are equipped with Coast Guard-approved safety equipment and are under Coast Guard supervision. Surfing is, of course, a very popular sport - for both participants and spectators. Snorkelling is especially popular near the Molokini Crater off Maui, as well as at various sites around each of the islands. In addition, there are some exciting international events such as the Canoe Races , in which outrigger canoes race against each other. One particularly gruelling race course runs from Molokai to Waikiki.
Races take place from autumn to spring.
