Visit Maui’s famous snorkeling and diving destinations Molokini Crater and Turtle Town (or Coral Gardens) on a snorkeling catamaran! Molokini is an extinct volcanic cone and the snorkeling visibility is usually 100 feet or more! Many different species of marine life live within Molokini. Green sea turtles, fish, urchins, harmless sharks, manta rays and coral surrounded by crystal clear water all year around make Molokini a must do on your vacation activity list. This boat tour is on all tourist must see lists, and it's one of Maui's favorite activities. This is also one of Maui's most family-friendly activities.

We had the best time. The crew was wonderful and so kind. Everything was so organized that there was little to no wait. Our favorite part was swimming with the Monk Seal. Definitely a memory we will never forget. Thanks for all the fun!

Molokini was full of fish- no turtle sightings. Whales breaching on the way to the second stop. Turtle and whale sightings at the second stop. Finally got to swim with turtles- highlight of the trip. Staff were friendly and informative. Food was good. The pulled pork was very good. I would highly recommend this trip!

This was the most incredible day out for our whole extended family, we had 4 kids in our group 9, 11, 14, 16 we got to snorkel with turtles, incredible fish, we saw so many whales and could hear them under the water when snorkeling which was fantastic. The tour had lots of food through the whole day, our daughter is celiac and they went out of their way to cater for her which was amazing. The team onboard were both knowledgable and really entertaining. It was a fantastic day out!!

The best crew!! The food was really good, I appreciate that they had extra vegetarian options because I forgot to mention I wanted vegetarian beforehand (my bad!) I do recommend renting the wetsuits if you get cold easily. The boat was beautiful 😍 the views were amazing, we got to see whales too and I got to swim next to a couple turtles 🐢 Thank you so much for a great experience!!

This was an amazing day. The crew was great, entertaining and fun. The whale watching was great we saw at least 10 whales breach. A few were within 30 feet of our boat. (They came to us as we were stopped) Now Molikini was a bust. The reef is terrible. No life out there at all. We only saw few small fish. No color, thank god we had an awesome time to and from the crater.
