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.

2.00Booked Malolo cruise because we were told that the Calypso cruise gets over crowded. There is a 24 hour cancellation clause. I gat an email ,with only a few hours notice, that the Malolo cruise was cancelled and we were being put on the Calypso instead. Same company. When booking a Molokini cruise, be absolutely sure the wind and weather are perfect or you will end up in another cove or place at the crew’s discretion. We found better snorkeling spots on our own and never made it to Molokini. Not even for pictures. What a ripoff, I booked Molokini not anything else. Food- OK. Drinks-OK. I can get my own Costco sandwiches at Costco.

2.00Due to wave size we did not go to either turtle town or Molokini. It was obvious the morning of that the conditions would likely not be ideal due to the insane wind, however instead of cancelling they proceeded with the tour and did not communicate with us that we were not going to the locations selected until we were on our way and heading to a different beach on the coast of Maui. It was disappointing as the tour was very expensive and the area taken to was not as good as spots you can access from beaches off shore.
10/10!!!!!

5.00We went on an incredibly windy day and did not get to visit Molokini due to unsafe conditions but did get to visit other amazing snorkeling spots seeing so many beautiful fish, reefs and turtles. The crew did a great job of entertaining and safe throughout the day. Heading back to the dock we were able to find some whales! This was still a great trip!!
Great trip!

5.00Had a great day on the water with the crew. Check in went smooth and we were out on the water in no time. The crew was focused on safety and fun. They worked hard to ensure we saw lots of aquatic life including turtles. The coffee and danish rolls for breakfast were great followed by a nice lunch. I thought this excursion was money well spent!
Highly recommend snorkeling

5.00It was an awesome experience for anyone who loves to snorkel. Gorgeous views on trip to snorkel area. Molokini was just beautiful. Turtle town a little murky with time of year. Food on board was good. Offered drinks at a cost
So fun! Staff and Captain were friendly. Water conditions were not great to go to the crater, with safety and customer
