Choose between two unforgettable ways to experience Molokini Crater, one of Maui’s most iconic snorkel destinations—whether you’re short on time or ready for a full ocean adventure.
2 Hour Molokini Snorkel Express
Ideal for guests short on time, this high speed tour departs from Kihei aboard a stable inflatable raft. Cruise across calm morning waters while enjoying views of neighbouring islands, the West Maui Mountains, and Mt. Haleakala.
Arrive at Molokini Crater as larger boats depart, leaving space to snorkel peacefully in protected waters. With premium snorkel gear and over an hour of water time, explore vibrant coral reefs and tropical fish along the volcanic rim—where the ocean floor drops dramatically from shallow reef to nearly 200 feet deep. Return to shore by late morning, with chances to spot humpback whales in winter months.
5.5 Hour Sea Caves Along Kanaio Coast & Molokini Snorkel Adventure
This extended experience showcases Maui’s most diverse ocean scenery, combining dramatic coastline, remote snorkelling, dolphins, sea turtles, and multiple Molokini sites
Cruise Maui’s scenic Gold Coast past Wailea and Makena to the remote Kanaio Coast—an inaccessible shoreline carved by lava flows from Mt. Haleakala over 200 years ago. Towering cliffs, sea caves, arches, and grottos provide breathtaking photo opportunities.
Continue to La Perouse Bay, a protected marine sanctuary known for frequent spinner dolphin sightings, often including babies. A continental breakfast is served, and when conditions allow, a remote snorkel stop such as La Perouse Pinnacle may be offered.
Next, head to Molokini Crater to snorkel up to three unique sites, including the inside rim, outer reef, and conditions permitting - the backside. Drift snorkel along the outer reef as the boat follows nearby, and peer over the edge into deep blue water. After Molokini, stop in Makena to snorkel with sea turtles and rays, followed by lunch onboard.
Breakfast (consisting of a muffin and fruit platter), lunch (individually wrapped ham and cheese, or turkey and cheese croissants and nut free chocolate chip cookie), drinks, and snorkel gear are included, with vegan and gluten free options available upon request.
Whether you choose a quick snorkel or an all day adventure, this tour delivers some of Maui’s best snorkelling, scenery, and wildlife encounters.
