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.

Captain Jen and Sophia were amazing! We felt super safe the entire time. I didn’t realize that this tour could be booked in sections, but I am so glad this is what we booked! Being able to snorkel the back of the crater is super rare, and turtle town was our absolute favorite. Not to mention, we saw a pod of dozens of dolphins and Jen stopped the boat so that we could watch them. They took lots of photos too and shared after the tour. Highly recommend! ❤️

We had a wonderful trip and visited several of the local snorkeling places. There were lots of beautiful fish, and Turtle Town more than lived up to its name. Eleni and Jen did an amazing job, and when one of our party got sick they were extremely kind and helpful. The icing on the cake was the beautiful photos they took while we were snorkeling. I’ve never had a company do that before. It’s a wonderful and unique reminder of our time.

This was an outstanding experience. Captains Jenn and Eleni were just perfect- knowledgable, professional and helpful. Snorkeling was some of the best we've seen and the sea turtle encounter was amazing.

We were a group of 8. Of all the excursions we did, this was our favorite. Friendly, knowledgeable, and great spots to see fish and turtles.

Such a fantastic trip! We truly enjoyed every moment spent on the boat. One of the biggest highlights was the early departure - we left before all the other excursions, so we had the snorkeling spots almost entirely to ourselves. Thanks to the great weather conditions, we were able to visit all four snorkeling locations and see so many amazing marine creatures. The crew was incredibly friendly, fun, and knowledgeable, creating a great atmosphere throughout the trip. As a bonus, the captain even spotted a whale! Highly recommended experience.

Incredible snorkeling experience. 10/10, will go out with them again in future. This is different than your typical large party snorkeling excursion grouped in like sardines and given 30 minutes to snorkel. On this trip we were the first out to the crater. We snorkeled five different locations including the wall and backside of molokini larger boats can’t get to. Captain and mate were great. We were in the water with large schools of fish. We were lucky to hear vocalizations from humpback whales and had bottle nose dolphin sightings and saw a lot of sea turtles.

This was a great experience overall. We had about 15 people on our excursion and the crew did a great job making sure everyone had what they needed. The weather was iffy. The water was cold with no sun, but visability was still amazing at the crater. I am glad we did it.

We had a fabulous turtle tour with captain Jen and Eleni. We were b even fortunate enough to see a cow and calf humpback whale, Mom whale breached and then calf tried with much less height. Eleni got some fabulous photos and videos that she shared with us. Snorkeling with the turtles was extraordinary. I would do this tour again in a heartbeat. Just make sure to bring your beach towel to dry off.
