What To Expect
Molokini Crater
Skip over the waves on a comfortable and speedy military-inspired, eco-friendly raft to the Molokini Crater, where you will snorkel with tropical fish, rays and various other wildlife. As the first boat to arrive at the crater, the waters will be uncrowded. Here, you'll also enjoy a delicious continental breakfast. Water visibility at this prime diving and snorkeling spot often reaches 180 feet (55 meters)! If you need a break, relax on the boat’s comfy pontoons and soak up the sun. After snorkeling in the crater, head to the backside of Molokini Crater, a place many people rarely see, for another snorkeling experience.
Keawakapu Beach
On your way to your final snorkeling destination, 'Turtle Town,' hug the Maui coastline and view the island’s most recent lava flow on the way to beautiful La Perouse Bay. The bay is a natural habitat for the Hawaiian spinner dolphin, so keep a look out and get your camera ready!

5.00Awesome tour group with friendly crew members concerned with safety as well as having fun! We snorkeled at 5 separate spots, including the front and back of Molokini crater and 3 other sites along the Maui coast where sea turtles frequent. The marine life was very vibrant! Saw many fish varieties and many Hawaiian green sea turtles. Most were less than 3ft long and often would swim near the surface next to us (within an arm’s length) to get air. Once we saw a very large (old) one that was 5ft in length! There is a type of fish that clean the algae off the turtles’ shell and legs which we saw on a few giving them a “facial”. The water was about 80 degrees so pretty comfortable, although after several dives and sailing around it was a bit chilly when wet. Bring a dry shirt to wear between dives. Would highly recommend this group for a great snorkel experience!

5.00The only snorkel boat to book. Went on the 5 hour tour and couldn’t be happier. The stops were amazing with the tropical fish and turtles. The crew were informative and funny.
Book it for the crew and locations!

5.00Chase and his crew were amazing. Made sure we knew the history of the places we visited, the ride along the way was fun, and all our equipment was operational. The music was great along the way as well. Lunch was good, sandwiches, homemade cookies, hawaiian chips, and sodas. Overall because of the places we visited, I would recommend this tour. We went to places you cant get to by just walking along the beach, a reef in the middle of the ocean was pretty amazing. We will be booking again!

5.00We went out 7 deep with Redline Rafting for the 5-hour Molokini snorkel trip and had a great time. Crew knew their stuff and kept it fun — get ready for comedy and some wild tattoos. Snorkeling the back side of Molokini was the highlight — crystal clear water, tons of sea turtles, and we even saw an eagle ray. Turtle Mansion was amazing — unreal how many turtles were there. La Perouse from the water was also super cool to see. Overall solid experience — would definitely recommend.
Outstanding Fun

5.00Had an amazing two hour snorkel trip with red line! Felt very safe and appreciated their expertise in creating a safe and fun experience. Water is choppy so if you are prone to motion sickness, take some Dramamine! I get very seasick, and I had a great time!

5.00Amazing 5 hour tour with great guides. Small boat means small groups and getting into small and shallow places the big boats can't. 100% recommend.
Great experience

5.00Tony and Serena made this trip great! We got to snorkel at both the front and back of the crater, turtle town, and an extra stop. We ate, we laughed (Tony is pretty funny), and we swam with tons of different sea creatures. We are booking this exact adventure with our kids when we come back. The small boats are the way to go, as we got there fast, we werent crowded by other people and we got to do the back of the crater (big boats cant). Highly recommend this adventure!!
Best Snorkeling in Maui!

5.00We booked the 5 hour tour and it flew by! Exceptional snorkeling at 4 different locations! Informative, safe and fun guides. Snorkeling at your own pace-you won't miss a thing! This was the best part of our Maui trip!
Beautiful Molokini with backside and turtles.
