With daily departures from Maʻalaea Harbor, PacWhale Eco Tours offers the perfect morning Molokini snorkel boat tour option for groups, families, couples, and budget travelers. Start the morning with a continental breakfast before heading to the first snorkeling spot: Maui’s popular Molokini Crater. With excellent visibility and an array of marine life, this is undoubtedly one of Hawaii’s best snorkeling spots. Experienced guides will lead the way, so whether it’s your first or 50th time snorkeling, there’s no need to worry!
After Molokini, guests will enjoy a second snorkeling location at Turtle Arches, known for frequent sightings of Hawaiian green sea turtles and beautiful underwater sea arches. Here, lunch will be served, along with refreshments and cocktails after your time in the water.
During whale season, typically November through April, guests may also spot humpback whales from the boat. The crew may pause to view whales when conditions and the itinerary allow, although snorkeling remains the primary focus of this tour. PacWhale’s double-decker catamarans (max 70 guests) offer excellent views and plenty of room, so you can enjoy your time on the water. Maui snorkeling never looked so good!
