What To Expect
Molokini Crater
Snorkel the amazing blue waters around Molokini Crater, it's like swimming in an aquarium!
Pu’u Ola’i, also known as Red Hill, is a dome-like cinder cone backing Maui’s well known Little Beach. This is our half-way point and a great spot for a small break after exploring Molokini. Blue Lagoon is a protected cove great for hanging out and drifting before more adventures. Next, we’ll Seafari™ at a Pu’u Ola’i Cove, a shallow area where you’ll see shells galore amidst the crystal clear water. As we swim around Pu’u Ola’i Point, we’re often greeted by a gang of chub fish that call this area home. Then we make our way to The Cove and then to Coral Forest. These spots are filled with a variety coral and fish we don’t see anywhere else! Keep your eyes peeled for turtles, eagle rays and a variety of colorful fish.

5.00We did the 5-hr, and IMO it was the best of the “tours” we took part in throughout our trip to Oahu and Maui. Captain Jen was great as was her first mate. The 5-hr is combined w a 2.5 hr Molokini only followed by a trip back to the boat ramp to swap with those on the follow-on Turtle Town portion. It provided an op for a bio break - use it. 😂 There is plenty of time but the facilities on the ramp were rough, not real clean. Snorkeling is lengthy and as scenic as you would imagine. But the real surprise for everyone onboard was the whale watching we were able to take part in while navigating out, back and in between sites. Pretty great. But the boat was new or seemed so, very comfortable, and we were provided the snorkeling gear, fins, and a flotation device, if desired. I think we had eight couples on the trip and never felt cramped or unattended to. Overall - 5 stars
Excellent!!

5.00Captains Jen and Doug were a perfect pair. Doug was running the boat and Jen was running the dives. Doug was calm, relaxed and friendly. Jen was high energy, enthusiastic, and helpful. The boat ran easily and comfortably to the multiple sites we visited and the thoughtfully designed ladders made getting back into the boat a breeze. The trip was fantastic! We visited multiple sites and got to experience different environments around Maui. Getting to visit multiple sites made it feel more like a snorkel tour than a trip. If you want to experience snorkeling in Maui, I highly recommend Maui Snorkel Charters. My daughter wants me to add that the banana bread is amazing too!
Great captain and co captain had great personality, several close turtles, dolphins and whales were a plus:)

5.00The trip started very early but got to the crater before everyone else arrived and basically had it to ourselves for a good amount of time before it got busy. Was able to snorkel the back wall as well which is a unique experience you won’t get from the big boats. Had a whale do a full breach jump literally feet away from the boat which was amazing. Crew was great and all the photos were included in the experience instead of an extra charge at the end which you just don’t get anywhere else. Would gladly use them again.
Look no further...

5.00I have reviewed Maui Snorkel Charters before. They were excellent then; and they're excellent now. We were with Captains Doug and Jen -- both generous with their knowledge and time. We've used other snorkel/Molokini/watch tours before, but we will never again. Why mess with perfection. Thanks Doug and Jen for an excellent, most enjoyable and entertaining 5 hours.
Take your seasick meds and have a good time

5.00Keep in mind that if you book your visit during Dec like we did, the sky will be mostly cloudy and the water/corals will not look as vibrant. Remember to take some Dramamine (seasick medication) before the trip. Because of rougher seas, we had some people tapping out before the trip ends. With that being said, we had an amazing time snorkeling at Molokini and Turtle Town. Our highlight was seeing whales, turtles and a sleeping monk seal! Also, the banana bread is a must try 10/10 Capt. Jen and J.P are two amazing ladies who are quick, professional, knowledgeable and incredibly friendly. They made us feel safe and tended to during our entire trip. If given a chance, we would love to visit and book from Maui Snorkeling Charters again 🪸🐠🤿
Amazing team!
