Tour Overview

Explore Maui’s ocean environment from the inside out with admission to nationally top-rated Maui Ocean Center, paired with a snorkel tour of two famous Maui locations.

The Molokini & Turtle Arches Snorkel leads you on an exciting exploration of Molokini reef and the unique marine wildlife that inhabits it. Molokini, Maui’s iconic crescent-shaped islet, is a beautiful reef known for its crystal-clear waters, abundant coral, colorful fish, and resting seabirds. A protected marine conservation area, this volcanic crater is only accessible by boat with a certified tour operator. Turtle Arches offers a bonus snorkel site with its underwater lava formations and frequent turtle sightings. Continental breakfast is included and a delicious BBQ lunch is prepared onboard. We provide all the snorkel gear, including sanitized masks and snorkels, fins and flotation devices. There’s even an onboard, captain led “Learn to Snorkel” class for beginners!

PacWhale Eco-Adventures and Pacific Whale Foundation recognize that the reopening of Lahaina Harbor is an important milestone in the community’s recovery. Out of respect for community readiness, and because coordinating the transition back to Lahaina-based operations requires thoughtful planning, we are intentionally pausing our return at this time. We are carefully evaluating all aspects of this transition in alignment with our cultural advisor and operations team and will share our plans when the timing is appropriate.

Children 4 and under are free

This ticket must be redeemed within 10 days of your scheduled PacWhale Eco Adventure Tour.
