Tour Overview

Snorkel Molokini. Take home the memories.

Make the most of your morning and take the memories home with you.

This 3-hour Molokini adventure includes a professional photo package for every party, so you can stay in the moment while an onboard photographer captures it all: vibrant reef life, soaring seabirds, playful group shots, and candid portraits with Maui’s stunning ocean backdrop.

Snorkel the protected waters of Molokini Crater, one of Hawai‘i’s most iconic marine sanctuaries. Known for its crystal-clear visibility and diverse marine life, Molokini offers a front-row seat to the wonders of the Pacific.

Throughout the cruise, our certified Marine Naturalists share the science and stories of the reef and its wildlife, adding depth to what you see. Lifeguard-trained crew are in the water with you, offering expert guidance so you can snorkel with confidence.

After your snorkel, rinse off with a warm freshwater shower, enjoy a grilled BBQ lunch, and sip a cold local beer from Maui Brewing Co. as we cruise back to harbor.
