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!

5.00Great 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.
Great trip!

5.00This was a GREAT experience. So glad we opted for the half day trip - in addition to the Molokini snorkeling, we were able to visit the backside of Molokini and learn more about the WWII impacts to the crater. The second snorkeling location was our favorite and the teenagers had a “National Geographic” moment with a sea turtle. Definitely a core memory experience from our trip. Our guide Jordan amazingly learned the names of all 20 people on the boat and Redline Rafting is a quality operator. So fun!!!
Great snorkeling experience

Redline Rafting Offshore Adventures - swim, snorkel & whale encounters

5.00A fun and very professional charter to Molokini Crater (front and back) to snorkel the beautiful blue water, then over to select snorkel spots from Makena up to Kihei, with lots of whale action in between our snorkel spots. Capt. & crew were great, snacks were provided, and both avid and beginners were accommodated. I recommend Redline Rafting for your next offshore adventure.
Amazing snorkel tour!!!

Best 5hr experience

5.00We had such a blast with the best crew! Weather wasn’t the best (chilly once you are soaked in the water with not much sun out), but all the spots were amazing. We got to see such a variety of fish here and there as well as the turtles at the last destination. I would recommend this 5hr snorkeling to anyone who wants to feel the vibe as if they were in the aquarium!
Memorable

5.00We snorkeled and saw whales along the way and back. Matt took us to the back of Molokini crater (the whether was just right) and I snorkeled in one of the unique places I’ve never seen before. The vibes and people were great.
