The Best Maui 3 Hour Molokini and Turtle Town Snorkel
Overview
3 hours
Mobile ticket
Not recommended for pregnant travelers.
Turtlely Cool!… Departing Molokini, we’ll make one more stop and snorkel with sea turtles in a shorline destination (locations will vary, depending on conditions). These turtles, although endangered and protected, are accustomed to seeing snorkelers and do not mind being photographed as they surface for air just a few feet away.
Experience Molokini without interruption from large tour boats or over-crowded snorkel sites. Trip includes 3 hours of fun, with at least two stops. Snorkel Molokini and an additional shoreline snorkel at a turtle habitat.
During whale season, we will always stop and see some whales.
This tour goes out daily because it is a customer favorite since 1985.

5.00Great experience with Mikey and Austin! We're really glad we did this tour and with this company. They're one of the smaller and less expensive companies, so we thought we would take a bit of hit in terms of quality, but we were more than impressed with the quality and our overall experience. Mikey and Austin deserve applause for how great they were. They are both very knowledgeable so the narration during our experience was super informative and interesting. We felt safe with them and they clearly knew what they were doing. Mikey (captain) was excellent at navigating the waters; I noticed that he would make small adjustments to the the way he navigated to make the ride as pleasant as possible. Despite being on a raft, the ride was super smooth. He also was so astute that as soon as he caught site of a group of dolphins (which everyone else missed), he slowed down and the dolphins swam next to us for a bit which was a cherry on top. Extra points to them both for having their boat out on the water and ready to go such that we were the first ones out there (= better snorkeling experience), while all the other companies were still getting their boats out onto the water. We were nervous about doing a raft rather than a boat, but the ride was wonderful and it felt like the boat was gliding on the water. In retrospect, I'm glad we did a raft rather than a boat because the boats have huge groups of people and as soon as they all start snorkeling the marine life gets scared away. We basically left Molokini as soon as the boats arrived because of that reason, so let that serve as an example. We had a bit of sea sickness (from the snorkeling since it was as soon as we got back on the boat after Molokini; not from the boat ride) and both Mikey and Austin were super sensitive, considerate, and patient toward us. They checked on us numerous times and it quickly passed, so we were able to enjoy the second snorkeling stop and rest of the trip. They also provided delicious sandwiches, cookies, and fresh fruit which made our experience that much better. Blue Water Rafting is one of the few companies that offers a shorter tour, which is great for those who don't want to give up as much of their day. This option was also very economical and BWR was certainly among the fairest prices across all the companies. We did the 3hr (2-stop) tour and we felt we got a very comprehensive snorkeling experience. We compared 10+ companies and BWR was among the top 3 rates we could find and with all of the above, the quality of their service exceeded our expectations by far.

5.00Charlie was an awesome guide! He was professional, entertaining, and knowledgeable. He helped our group have an amazing time snorkeling in the Molokai crater, and even took us to the backside for some additional snorkeling which was awesome! It took us to a great turtle spot, we just had the most amazing experience! I highly recommend blue water rafting!
Not the best experience

2.00The excursion could have been better. The captain’s tone and attitude felt rude at times, especially towards us and another group. A more patient and respectful approach would have improved the experience. Not much to say about his assistant—he was mostly quiet.
Fun

5.00Brandon and Nanoe did a great job taking us to Molokini and to see the turtles. It was nice to be able to do both of those on one short tour. + they patiently helped us on and off the boat. - they started the boat trip trying to do turns to give us a thrill + they took us on the back side so we could see the animals on the wave side of the island and the beautiful view there + they were helpful and encouraging to the good snokelers and bad snorkelers. - typical tour sandwiches with a croissant +chocolate chip cookies +nice fruit to munch on + The smaller sized group gave us a much more personalized trip than some of the other companies we saw out there. + They helped us identify the fish we saw. + unlike one tour company they were willing to take those of us over 65.
