One Snorkel Tour, Infinite Experiences!

Schedule

6:15 am – Check-In 5 Hour Tour - 6:30 am-11:30pm

Your 5 hour adventure begins at 6:30 am (6:15 am check-in) – We like to be first at Molokini while the marine life is undisturbed by the loud boats that swarm the crater. Our tour is designed with you in mind. You will be wide awake after some homemade banana bread, coffee and a fast ride to Molokini Crater.

You’ll depart from the Kihei Boat Ramp, a 5-minute drive from most Wailea Resorts and within walking distance of many Kihei condos. This prime location allows shorter transit times to Molokini and the South Maui Coastline, which means you’ll spend less time getting places and more time snorkeling!

About

Are you ready for an adventure that’ll make you smile for DAYS?

Every day on Maui is unique, offering dramatically different experiences depending on the time of year and daily ocean conditions. The best snorkeling spots change day to day – an insider secret that our regular customers have figured out! (Ask about our multiple trip discount!)

We revel in the fact that no two days are alike, which is why we built a custom boat to accommodate changing conditions and offer a unique snorkel tour on every trip.

When you join our Molokini snorkel tour, we’ll take you to the spots with the best snorkeling that day. While other tours also go to Molokini, we’re the best option to for a customized group tour, taking you to all of the best spots around South Maui. You’ll get lots of personal attention from us, too, because we don’t overcrowd our boat.

Molokini Crater may be the main attraction, but you’ll see so much more! You’ll visit up to 5 snorkel sites, depending on conditions (the most of any snorkel tour on Maui!).
