Whichever Maui Adventure Tour you select you can be sure of one thing. Hang on to your hat as the fun has just begun! In the winter the waters appear to feel a little cooler than the summer months and when you are out snorkeling at 8.am it can get a little chilly to say the least. We have found that from November through March that the afternoon snorkel charters afford more comfort for families. Plus you don't have to leave your resort at the crack of dawn and feeling a little chilly as you motor out to Molokini. And this is a good thing. Please note that it is a rare occasion if an afternoon snorkel trip makes it to Molokini. They all use Coral Gardens in the afternoon. The reason for this is the winds kick up the swells and the channel becomes to rough. Most people get sick, so they opt for somewhere else. Good choice on this. These charters are a lot of fun. The Pride is a family hit. Blue Water Rafting is quite the adventure. If you are planning your vacation during the off season you may be able to snag a deal by scheduling the 4-hour trip. More than a few times they will have both events scheduled and then one will not have enough people to go out. When this happens they upgrade the 4-hour trip to the 5 1/2 hour adventure. You just may slide into a real bargain here. The off season months in Maui are September, October, November the first 3 weeks of December and January. Go for it!
