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 all had an amazing time. Saw multiple kinds of fish, sea turtles and even some whales while traveling to the sites. Pictures were great. The staff were very kind, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.

Great day snorkeling! A fun crew and beautiful locations! As the other reviews noted: quite a few people in the snorkeling areas and on our tour. But, there’s a reason they’re so popular! Our boat got to the first location before anyone else, and we were the only boat at the second location. We waited until the other boat left so we could get prime parking. We did see a sea turtle and lots of other wild life! Great day.

Very clean boat and equipment. Very friendly staff they made sure everyone felt comfortable and we had a great time. The food was far above our expectations when it says continental breakfast and sandwiches..They were actually very good and had such good fresh fruit! We would go again with this company for sure!

Snorkel adventure was good; staff was friendly and helpful. The food was nice and refreshing after our adventures. At times the boat accommodations felt every tight and crowded. I would have liked to spend more time actually snorkeling than waiting for everyone to get on and off at the locations.

Kind hosts, well worth the price. They gave good breakfast and snacks. We saw lots of whales and so many fish and corals. The guides were very patient with young children too. Highly recommend.

This excursion was the highlight of our time in Maui - swimming with the turtles and seeing beautiful birds flying overhead. Shout out to the professional photographer @camila.portfolio who captured fantastic photos so happy with them!

If you want picture package for 125 then make it known so you have more & better shots. Crew was great, I've seen better fish on other snorkeling islands, but the crater is unique spot. Makena turtle town was Worth the whole deal seeing sea turtles super close up!
