4 Hour Molokini Snorkel Tour Adventure in Maui

Join our 4-hour Molokini Snorkel Tour in Maui on the No Ka Oi hybrid boat. Experience personalized service and explore vibrant marine life.

Duration: 4 hours
Cancellation: 1 day learn more
Highlights
  • Molokini Crater - Snorkel the amazing blue waters around Molokini Crater, it’s like swimming in an aquarium!
  • PuÊ»u Olai - Pu’u Ola’i, also known as Red Hill, is a dome-like cinder cone backing Maui’s well known Little Beach.

This is our half-way point and a great spot for a small break after exploring Molokini. Blue Lagoon is a protected cove great for hanging out and drifting before more adventures.

Next, we’ll Seafari™ at a Pu’u Ola’i Cove, a shallow area where you’ll see shells galore amidst the crystal clear water. As we swim around Pu’u Ola’i Point, we’re often greeted by a gang of chub fish that call this area home.

Then we make our way to The Cove and then to Coral Forest. These spots are filled with a variety coral and fish we don’t see anywhere else! Keep your eyes peeled for turtles, eagle rays and a variety of colorful fish.

  • Makena - As you’d guess from the name, Turtle Town, located along Maui’s south shore near Makena Landing, is known for its large population of Hawaiian green sea turtles, called ‘honu’ in Hawaiian.

While the area is accessible from the beach, it’s quite a swim from the shore but our boat brings you right where the turtles hang out.

What's Included
  • Reef Safe Sunscreen
  • Use of snorkeling equipment
  • Individual storage area for any personal items
  • Floatation device

Really worth it! - Great tour, with manageable few passengers, which we found absolutely great. Captain and crew were very nice, helpful and informative! It was great today: a long distance we were accompanied by dolphins, snorkeling in the crater was a lot of fun, snorkeling along the crater was very cool (the current was fierce, but with our great captain today I wasn't scared for a second!). Thank you! Conclusion: getting up early is absolutely worth it, directly from Kihei you are there very quickly. For Trips with children I would recommend the tour for children from eight years of age with snorkeling experience, they should then have their own small neoprene suits or shirts (only large shirts are rented). Especially slim people should also bring their own neos, I was quite cold in the big shirts.

Morning Snorkel Trip - This tour was awesome. Captain Alex and Jen were our guides. They were wonderful: friendly, knowledgeable, very cool people to have done this trip with. Got to see numerous species of fish, coral, turtles and family of dolphins and a white tip shark even made an appearance.

Epic Trip to Molokini and Turtle Town! - We had a wonderful time with Bella and Alex on board this snorkel trip! They get out to Molokini nice and early before it gets too crowded and the snorkeling there is fantastic! We rented the GoPro from them and got some great pics and videos of the whole trip. They stop at several spots around Molokini depending on conditions and crowds before heading back to the last spots on Maui. The whole trip culminates with a trip to a turtle cleaning station! There were SO many turtles we couldn't even count. The turtles were not at all bothered by us and just went about their business. It was so beautiful and serene to watch. I highly recommend this trip! Loved the small boat vs the larger, crowded ones and it's more fun to ride a rib boat anyway! Plenty of drinks and snacks on board too. Just a tip- take the wet suit top when offered at check in, better to have it and not use it then wish you had taken it...a few on our boat wish they had even though the water was in the low 80's, it was slightly cloudy, so easy to get cold. If you're heading to the Big Island from there, ask Bella for some suggestions, she grew up there and was very excited to share some of her favorite spots with us, (thanks!) . We will definitely be back! Mahalo nui loa!

Amazing Adventure! - From first meeting the Bella in the parking lot to our final aloha, everything was top notch! Bella & Alex were attentive, friendly and very knowledgable. They took us to the best spots around Molokini Crater and beyond. Having never snorkeled before I wasn't sure what to expect, but it turned out better than imagined! Definitely recommend to anyone interested in snorkeling in Maui! You won't be disappointed!

Incredible! Bucket List tour with amazing crew. If you do anything on your visit, do this! - Truly the best day ever. From the moment you check in the crew is super kind and helpful. They make sure you have what you need for an incredible experience. They tailor each tour based on the weather and we did multiple spots along Molokini crater and were so lucky to see an endangered seal! Once we did that we even dared to check out the back where it is an amazing sea wall! It was rough seas but they guided us to a safe spot for a truly one in a lifetime chance to see that side of the crater. From there we checked out a few other spots and we weee able to see tons of turtles and even a spotted ray! The captain and crew could not have been better and truly cared for the guests. They made sure each person had a blast and we truly did. Special thanks to them- Cary, Allison and Bella. If you do one thing when visiting Maui, I would highly recommend doing a tour with Maui Snorkel Charters.

Highly Recommend - Captain Alex and Mermaid Jen are THE power team that made our tour an experience of a lifetime. If you're looking for a snorkeling tour that feels like a private charter, this is it. Maui Snorkel Charters landed at all the snorkeling destinations before any other tour, making our experience feel private and special. As a family of 6 with a variety of ages, swimming capabilities, and special needs, we I felt like our captain and first mate were always dialed into everyone's needs and that eyes were on everyone 100% of the time, which made this Mama Bear feel super comfortable to enjoy my own experience. I highly recommend this tour. Our crew was knowledgeable, highly experienced, professional, SUPER fun and were committed to providing the best experience for all ages and capabilities.

Great snorkelling fun with exzellent crew - Great snorkelling tour, can highly recommend. We were brought to several nice spots, were 4 times in the water. The crew was very warm welcoming, helpful and professional. They made the best out of our day! There was enough seating space on the boat, they let less people on board as the boat capacity would be.

Well organized, professional, safe & very personable - Highly recommend this tour - uncrowded and very personable, Jen and Alex do an excellent job of making everyone comfortable and with six stops rather then the customary 2-3, fit a lot more interest and variety into the itinerary than the big cat tours. With a max no of people at 20, the boat is very spacious with all the equipment, water, snacks provided. Our two 13 year olds thought it the highlight of the whole trip!
