Explore the natural wonders of Molokini Crater, a volcanic islet 3 miles (4.8 km) off the coast of Maui, on this snorkeling tour from Maalaea. Surrounded by clear tropical waters, this extinct cone is home to many species of marine life, such as fish, sea urchins, sharks, manta rays, and coral. Molokini is a marine preserve, meaning nothing can be disturbed, keeping the island and underwater environment pristine. You'll also explore Turtle Town, and admire native birds. Two water slides, a glass bottom viewing room, and a "leap of faith" are also available if you don't want to snorkel or finish early. Breakfast, lunch, snacks, soda, and juice are included.

The snorkeling was funny and we saw lots of turtles. But the best part was a surprise whale watch. We had two different sightings. One wheel just swam there right next to our boat for like 15 minutes. She had a baby with her and it was amazing. The crew was fabulous. They met all of our needs, answered all of our questions and we’re so patient with everyone on the boat. The captain in particular really went above me on to make our trip an amazing experience.
