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!

We really enjoyed the...

4.00We really enjoyed the snorkeling at the crater and turtle town. It was whale season, so seeing the whales was a plus. The back part of the crater was neat, but if you're prone to sea sickness, this isn't for you. My husband does not usually get sick and he had a really hard time with the waves. He was ready to get out of there instantly. The rest of the tour was really wonderful though.

5.00Absolutely incredible time!! Jamie and Tim were great! we had a wonderful time snorkeling inside and outside the molokini crater as well as a few other spots. Also stopped and snorkeled with the turtles which was a favorite!! Plus we saw a couple whales which was a bonus for it being this late in the season. Would highly recommend and if we return we would definitely do it again!!
Great family snorkel trip!

5.00We had a great time! The crew - Kieka and Emma - were knowledgeable and friendly, and made my whole family feel comfortable and safe. So many turtles and a humpback whale with baby were highlights of the trip! Breakfast and lunch was good and plentiful and we were happy to have four snorkeling stops.
Excellent trip and crew

5.00Our family had an awesome time. We had snorkled Molokini before, with a large tour group, and the Redline Rafting experience was so much better for us. We spent more time in the water, soaking in the myriad fish, turtles, and a few whales that we happened across, and less time waiting around. Matty and Nick made sure everyone on board was well taken care of, and most importantly, made it back to shore safely and with smiles on our faces.
Super fun snorkeling trip!

5.00My partner and teens participated in the 5 hour Molokini tour and had the best time! Captain Chase crew were chill and fun. We arrived into Maui shortly after the big March 2026 rainstorms and were so thankful to get in the water and see some amazing fish. We were all so glad that we chose Redline for the smaller group sizes and access to the backside of the crater.
Poor business ethics.

1.00Very unprofessional. When we booked the tour they messaged right away to change the date, when we told them that we do not have date flexibility they accepted our booking and then a night before just canceled abruptly. They said conditions were bad but other boats are traveling. Completely ruined our plans. They could have easily canceled at least 24 hours prior and given us a chance to rebook with somebody else. It looks like they did not want to do this from the very beginning and kept leading us on until the very last minute and then canceled. Poor business ethics.
Friendly and fun tour

5.00This tour was amazing! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a well organized and friendly tour group! Our crew was awesome and so knowledgable about everything we came across as well as the history of Maui which was very cool to learn more about! They really let us explore each of the snorkel spots thoroughly which was amazing, we never felt rushed. Definitely money and time well spent doing the morning tour with them! We also got to see a whale breach right in front of us which was a once in a lifetime experience that we'll never forget.
Great guides, knowledgeable, professional, clean boat, overall best snorkeling guides we have ever had.

5.00Great guides! Jordan and Jamie were the best guides we have had on any snorkeling trip. We saw several turtles at the first stop and heard the whales singing the whole time.
