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.

Great crew and made it a very memorable experience. Wind was crazy and kept losing our food and clothes. Didn’t get to see turtle town due to the weather but snorkeling and jumping from boat was great!

It is a beautiful place to snorkel. If you aren’t a swimmer you can still snorkel. I do swim but observed others that don’t. The crew are amazing and so friendly!
