What To Expect

Molokini Crater

Snorkel the amazing blue waters around Molokini Crater, it's like swimming in an aquarium!

40 minutes • Admission Included

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.

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.
Great excursion!

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.
Great trip

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.
Fabulous!

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.

My husband and I had a great time on this excursion. Captain Jen and Elani were bright and friendly and informative. Capt. Jen's jokes were corny but fun. We particularly enjoyed snorkeling on the outer side of Molokini and "Turtle Town". Elani was in the the water with us the whole time and taking pictures. The pictures were up within about 24 hours and are great mementos of the trip. The fact that they take the pictures was one of the factors in deciding on the company. Plus the small group size (I think there were 16 of us) and speed of the boat. We also saw whales which Capt. Jen was happy to stop for us to watch. An unexpected sight was flying fish! Two slight drawbacks: 1) the website says there is a bathroom on board but when we arrived we were told there really isn't, and 2) it was sometimes hard for us to hear Capt. Jen because we were at the very front of the boat so some sort of amplification would be helpful. Overall, I would happily go out with them again and encourage others to do so.
Awesome!

Awesome crew, great snorkeling at Molokini and two other spots- lots of turtles, fish - and whales along the way. Friendly and informative, fun, with great banana bread, snacks and coffee for the 5 hour tour! Best trip ever!
