Molokini Snorkel

The best Maui snorkeling is at Molokini. While you're out exploring Maui and enjoying our awesome Maui activities, then you want to take one of our famous Maui snorkel tours on a Maui charter boat out to Molokini, Maui. Molokini Crater is a volcano that has just barely breached the surface of the ocean, creating a fascinating venue for a Maui Hawaii snorkel experience. Protected by its crescent moon shape, Molokini offers some of the finest snorkeling in Maui--in fact, Molokini snorkeling is what makes Maui snorkel tours among the best in the world. The visibility underwater is more than 100 feet on a Molokini tour, with crystal clear waters that make it a favorite among Maui snorkel trips.

When selecting a Maui charter boat for a Molokini tour, the mooring pin for the boat will make a big difference in how much marine life you see while you snorkel Molokini Crater and how crowded the waters will be around your charter boat, as it's one of the more popular Maui snorkel tours. With that in mind, we have chosen the Maui charter boat companies that offer the best mooring locations for Molokini, allowing you to snorkel Maui tropical waters to experience all Molokini has to offer. All the charters do their absolute best, and all are good excursions for a Molokini snorkeling tour. A Molokini snorkel cruise is a must do Maui activity for anyone that wants the best Maui snorkeling adventure.

Molokini Tips
Regardless of the time of year, a Molokini tour is weather dependent. There are times when inclement weather will not allow a Maui charter boat to take a Molokini tour out to Molokini Island, in which case the captain will take you to a Maui snorkeling spot known as Coral Gardens, a site normally used for afternoon Maui Hawaii snorkel trips. This is a very protected area along the Pali Coast, with an abundance of marine life including Green Sea Turtles and other sites you can only see when you snorkel Maui. Do not be alarmed, however; weather rarely prohibits our Maui snorkel tours from allowing Molokini snorkeling, and even detoured Maui snorkel trips still have an amazing experience.

If you are an experienced diver, we highly recommend that you select a dive boat over one of these Molokini Crater charters, as you will have a more fulfilling experience and be allowed greater access to Molokini Maui than those who simply snorkel Molokini can achieve.

The snuba option offered on some of the Maui Hawaii snorkel trips is a great way to see if you wish to further explore the world of diving. Anyone over the age of 8 will be offered this exciting alternative to snorkeling in Maui, with the charter company conducting a Snuba 101 class before the tour enters the water. Snuba is done by filling a small raft with oxygen and attaching a 20’ hose to the raft. The person attached to the apparatus can now swim underwater like a fish without having to surface for air or bear the burden of a heavy compressed air tank while they take in the wonders of Molokini Crater and the underwater Molokini Maui experience. The oxygen generally lasts for 20 or 30 minutes, and is equally popular among both children and adults. Expect to pay roughly $50 extra per person for this option--it’s somewhat pricey, but amazingly fun!
  All prices are per person, are subject to availability and may change without notice.
