What To Expect
Fast, Safe, Affordable Fun. Sleep In… We arrive at Molokini after all of the big tour boats have left. We snorkel the inside and outer reef and/ or the backside (conditions permitting) of Molokini without Crowds and get you back in around two hours. Trip includes beverages and snorkel gear. The Molokini Express is ideal for those who wish to enjoy the crystal clear waters and abundant marine life at Molokini but prefer their time on the water to be 2 hours. Over one hour of snorkeling time is available at prime locations away from the crowds. Depending on conditions, you will snorkel at 3 snorkel spots around Molokini. By arriving at the crater just after most of the other boats have just departed, we find the area to be almost empty allowing us to drift snorkel large areas of the rim if we choose to. One of the most popular and spectacular drifts is over the outer reef formed by the rim of the volcano which at points is only two or three feet deep and then drops off on the outside to 200 feet. Gliding over the reef gives one the “feeling of flying” as you look off the edge of the world! We look forward to having you on tour with us and showing you all of Molokini.

Best deep water snorkeling trip ever!

5.00The two hour Molokini snorkeling experience was the most fun snorkeling we have ever done. It was just the right amount of time. Captain Brandon exceeded all expectations by taking us to the front of Molokini, to the back of Molokini and then toward the shore to see turtles. Each place was wonderful with lots of underwater fish and sealife (including turtles). Most special was the backside of Molokini in the deep royal blue water with the drop off of 600 feet. A truly special experience. Make sure to book for Captain Brandon if going out on a Saturday. He’s the best snorkeling captain that we’ve had.
Helpful in all aspects

5.00Excellent trip. The crew was very sweet and polite. They accomodated all ages and abilities :-) we had two different spots at the reef to snorkel away from the crowds and plenty fish around. The sea was swollen so we couldn't swim with turtles, but we saw them from on board the boat. One was less than three feet away and waved at us! We also saw a whale. The boat was very comfy, food and water were available. We were on ti.e and team was easy to find!
Second trip this week with Blue Water rafting.

5.00This was our second trip with Mikey in the same week. Loved both trips and saw 2 whales this time. Austin was the crew. We spent 2 hours in the Molokini crater. The boat had to come to us to get us back in. Molokini is the best!! We'll book with Blue Water next time we can, hopefully with Mikey,
Best Molokini snorkeling experience!

5.00It was amazing. We have snorkeled at Molokini several times but this was by far the best! We learned so much about the crater and surrounding islands. Would definitely repeat!
Less crowds, more vigilance
Stephanie G,Nov 1, 2025

5.00It was a smaller more intimate experience and quicker for those who don’t want to spend half the day out at sea. I don’t know how to swim but the boat kept a close eye on us and followed us around closely as we swam around the entire inside of the crater. I never once felt I was not safe, they provided all swim gear and floats as well as constantly kept close vigilance on the group something I feel a larger boat can’t provide. If you ever needed attention they were close enough to ask them for it at any time. The water is choppier the later you go but we were the only boat out there and I imagine in the morning it gets crazy busy with multiple boats and dozens of people, so keep in mind less people but choppier waters however you can still see the fish just fine and swimming the back wall is unlikely the later you go. If you want smaller crowds and more freedom to snorkel knowing you are being watched closely at all times then do this your. Also know no turtles will be seen at molokini, it’s strictly a fish zone.
Amazing Crew!
