Beat the crowds and tick off both Molokini Crater and Turtle Town on one easy 3‑hour cruise. We cast off at 7 a.m., when the water is glass‑calm and visibility can reach 150 ft—perfect for GoPro‑worthy shots of 250+ reef fish, 38 coral species, and the occasional manta ray or monk seal. Then hover beside green sea turtles at their famous cleaning stations.

• Small group—19 guests max on a roomy vessel
• Concierge crew fits your premium snorkel gear
• All gear, float belts, beverages, snacks & light lunch included
• Marine‑life briefing and strict “look‑don’t‑touch” ethics support reef conservation

Check in 6:30 a.m.; back at the dock around 10:00 a.m.—leaving the rest of your day free for Haleakalā or beach time. Book now to lock in Maui’s earliest, most uncrowded Molokini combo!

What To Expect

This unforgettable 3-hour excursion takes you to two of Maui's most treasured snorkeling locations – Molokini Crater and Turtle Town.

Immerse yourself in the crystal-clear waters of Molokini Crater, home to over 250 fish species, including the colorful parrotfish, elusive moray eels, and graceful manta rays. Our knowledgeable crew will provide a safety briefing and assist with fitting your snorkeling gear, ensuring your comfort throughout the journey. Floatation devices are also available to enhance your swimming experience.

Next stop, Turtle Town, where you'll encounter Hawaii's magnificent green sea turtles (Honu) alongside reef triggerfish, butterfly fish, octopus, and other captivating marine life. Every trip is unique, guaranteeing a one-of-a-kind adventure for you and your loved ones. Keep an eye out for the rare Hawaiian monk seals.

On the way to your snorkeling spot, our crew prepares and adjusts your gear, making sure it fits correctly, and you are comfortable. We also offer floatation devices to enhance your swimming.

If weather conditions at Molokini Crater are unpermitting, we will go to alternative snorkeling spots.
