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.

Best snorkeling excursion ever!

This is the best snorkeling experience we have ever had! We have been on several trips in the Caribbean and they do not hold a candle to this trip. The captain and crew were outstanding. Friendly and energetic! We went to 5 different stops on the excursion. The first was in Molokini crater and then on the backside of the crater in 300 feet of water. We got to see tons of reef fish. We then went to 3 spots to see sea turtles. I have never been so close to green sea turtles. We then saw a rare monk seal sunning itself on the South side of Maui. The captain and crew were great at instructing us on how to properly use the equipment and made the experience go smoothly. Plenty of coffee, water, banana bread & snacks!

This was an absolutely amazing snorkel cruise. They delivered everything they promised. Turtle town was amazing. We swam with so many sea turtles we were blown away. The other snorkel locations did not disappoint. Coral reefs were beautiful and the variety of fish was amazing. The crew is fantastic and so accommodating! Jen took tons of underwater pictures which they share on a complimentary basis. This is a huge perk. A banana bread and coffee was an added bonus and was delicious. This snorkel cruise was worth every penny and we highly recommend it

The snorkeling tour was mega nice and the crew is super nice and helpful. We drove to 5 snorkel stops, which were all very nice. My highlight was the turtles at a cleaning station. Also great are the photos that are taken during the tour and then provided free of charge via link. The photos are really great. And we were very lucky that we also saw dolphins. A super nice tour with a great crew that I can only recommend to anyone.

Had a wonderful time with this crew. It’s an early start to the day, but the best way to make the most of your snorkeling experience. We were out before majority of charters and had molokini to ourselves. We saw everything as promised and then some (Dolphins!) The crew had plenty of coffee, snacks, water and delicious banana bread from the start and offered plenty on the ride itself. We had plenty of photos taken. Everyone on the crew was authentically themselves and made for a great time with great vibes. Can’t recommend this trip enough. Will certainly come back to this charter when we return!

Maui Snorkel Charters was incredible! Captain Doug and Jennifer were amazing — so friendly, fun, and knowledgeable. We were the first boat out to the crater, so we got to snorkel before any of the crowds showed up, which was awesome. We stopped at several great spots, and every one of them was beautiful. This was my kids’ first time snorkeling in the ocean (ages 12 and 10), and they absolutely loved it! They’re already talking about where they want to snorkel next — they’re hooked now. They thought of everything: banana bread, coffee, snacks, drinks, and they even take tons of pictures that they share for free. It made it so nice to just enjoy the experience without worrying about photos. I honestly couldn’t imagine a better trip — the bar is set high now for any future snorkel adventures! I’d recommend Maui Snorkel Charters every single time, and we really hope to go back again someday!

Multiple stops at different locations that provided different fish and even sea turtles. Personal attention to encourage your maximum experience. Pictures they provided were a fun way to help us remember the experience.
Marine life galore.

We saw a diverse variety of marine life. Above and beyond what I expected. The captain and his helper were friendly and fun. They explained things clearly, keeping us safe and relaxed. They also pointed out interesting tidbits during the boat ride. We had a perfect day with clear skies and a lively under water paradise. Highly recommend.

Great staff, fast smooth boat, small group. Highly recommend We saw many turtles. Went to Molokini with so many colorful fish. Had time to go to the back side. Early morning is key- avoid crowds and sunburn.

This was hands down the best snorkel excursion we have ever been on! The crew, Captain Cary, Elani and Charlie were fantastic, super knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming! We went to 5 beautiful snorkel stops saw amazing fish, dolphins and turtles! The boat was super agile giving us the opportunity to go where the big boats (with dozens of people) could not. The banana bread was an added bonus! Yum!. I do not foresee booking with a different tour company ever again! Mahalo for a wonderful adventure!
