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.

Amazing experience! The crew was incredibly friendly and attentive, the snorkeling was beautiful, and the weather couldn’t have been better. The boat was comfortable, the food was solid, and overall it was a smooth, well-organized adventure. Highly recommend this tour! The only negative was that we didn’t see any sea turtles at the turtle town snorkeling stop but there were plenty of coral reefs and beautiful fish in its place!
We had a great time!

We had a great time on the Calypso, all of the crew were very friendly and helpful. The food was surprisingly good, I didn't have high hopes as I have been on these sort of things before but my friend had the BBQ pulled pork and said it was really good and I'm a vegetarian so usually when I say that I get some carrots and celery sticks or something but they actually had a very nice tempeh sandwich for me which was a nice surprise compared to what I have gotten in the past on other tours. It was a nice atmosphere just very relaxed, and the molokini crater was amazing lots of different sorts of fish to see and the water was very clear. Turtle town was also great, saw several turtles. I would definitely recommend this if you are trying to decide which company to go with and will be going again myself

Great snorkeling tour and even better mai tais. Molokini was beautiful. The crew truly wants you to have a great experience. Very attentive and helpful. Highly recommend the high jump and slide as well. We rented a go pro on board and it was fantastic. Memories to last forever!
Did not receive the hot breakfast that was supposed to be offered. No glass bottom no slide😞

Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. However, if you were going to change the boat which changes the amenities, people should be notified and decide whether or not they want to take that reduction because we are paying customers after all.
