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!

5.00We 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!

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.
The under water world is amazing!

5.00I had a great trip, the captain was fun and we had enough time for snorkelling at 4 locations. I was solo.
We weren't on the whale tour but the whales didn't seem to know that

5.00Matty and Nick were excellent crew for our trip. They kept us informed, safe and filled us with knowledge about Maui, Molokini and the history of the Islands. It was a fun adventure and we will never forget it. The best part wasn't even snorkeling, we had a whale directly below us singing his heart out. We had an excellent time. Mahalo!
Best Snorkel Trip Ever!!!

5.00Such an amazing morning of snorkeling. We stopped in 4 different locations and each was so unique. Haven’t downloaded the photos from our GoPro just yet but it was absolutely epic. Tony, our captain, was hilarious, and Lotta was so sweet & helpful. The cinnamon rolls, fruit, sandwiches, chips, and cookies, were all delicious and you can tell the cinnamon rolls, sandwiches, and cookies are homemade. This experience was definitely a 10/10 and we even had a 12 foot tiger shark 🦈 swim by us when we were at turtle city. 😍 What an amazing experience!
