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.

Was able to see so many turtles! The fish at first spot was great! Food was good. I wish you could buy just 1 photo for less than while package.! Crew was very good.

WOW they dropped 120 in this tiny area for snorkeling. Probably saw as many fish as I saw flippers in my face. Then when they dumped the same 120 over the sea turtles... Kinda insane watching turtles struggle to find a path to the surface amid swarms of fellow guests - who were chasing them and elbowing each other to get a good look. The whole time the ship's photographer was the worst offender. In hindsight I should have known. Try to find a smaller group.

The website shows items on the menu that were not included on the boat - chips, ice cold soda, juice. We were expecting bottled water, not water from a jug in a cup. Sandwiches were dry and no condiments were provided. Informational and historical narration was minimal. The boat was filled to capacity, so if you were sitting in the sun, you were stuck sitting in the sun all day. It seemed to be over sold. The staff was excellent and provided a good experience.

The trip was amazing! The captain and crew of the boat were very nice and did a great job communicating and helping everyone on the boat. The photographer was also extremely nice and did a great job capturing photos of our adventure. We ended up purchasing all of the photos at the end because they were great! Snorkeling the crater was amazing - the water was so pretty and clear blue. The fish swam around and weren’t bothered by the snorkelers. Second stop at the area known for turtles was the absolute best! We got some amazing photos of green turtles and one even decided to hang out on the surface with us for a little - we maintained a safe distance from him of course - but the videos and photos are pure magic! He was the coolest turtle and it was an amazing experience. Highly recommend this tour!
