There's tons of great places to go. I'll stick to what I know - Big Island. Several places are accessible, Captain Cook can be hiked into or take a charter boat. Also have gone on a small charter that took us north of Kona to swim with the dolphins and whale watching. There's also an Kahulu'u beach right along Alii Drive, the entry can be a bit difficult but it's a good intro to reef snorkelling. I've heard some people have snorkeled at the Old Airport but I've never tried it's always been too rough when I was there. A good resource book IMO is Snorkel Hawaii - The Big Island, loads of places suggested there.

Roatan. Media Luna resort.
Went 2 years ago with wife and our 8 & 12 year olds. The water is clear and full of tropical fish. The kids jumped into the ocean with snorkles and saw about 20 diferent types of fish in first 10minutes. We also did a day long snorkling boat tour to the reefs and Pigeon Cay - it was stunning. We swam with thousand of fish, saw octopi & shark. Kids loved it. So did I.

Resort was all inclusive, very small and private. They have about 200 tropical cabins instead of a big hotel. Everything was excellent except the buffet food which was just OK.

Remember - It's important to be comfortable in your own skin... because it turns out society frowns on wearing other people's

On Kauai there is a place on the east side called Lyndgate park state beach. Also comes with a playground. Many years ago they made a rock enclosure that kids can snorkel in. Fish get in from the little holes in the rocks. Surprisingly quite a few fish in there. Anini Beach on the north side is good too.

Waikaloa beach is great. Swam up and down day after Honu 70.3. There is a lot of reef life and a few buoy markers way out in case you want to get a workout.

We snorkeled with our 1st graders in Maui at Napili and Kapalua Bay, and took a charter out to Molokini.

Thanks! I love Hawaii but was curious what other spots would pop up. We are in CO so the ocean is far no matter where we go.

Bonaire is fantastic for snorkeling.

Turks and Caicos
Aruba
Grand Cayman

From that story I get that snorkeling from shore is the way to go!
