Snorkel at Molokini before anyone else!

This is one of our personal favorite trips on Maui due to the small group, delicious courses of food, and having Molokini to ourselves for almost an hour.

SNORKEL SITES
Your first stop is Molokini Crater, where you’ll arrive well before anyone else for some of the best Maui snorkeling. After the beach entry at Maluaka Beach, you motor from Makena to Molokini (the shortest distance for any of the available Molokini departure points) enjoying the sunrise over Haleakala. Once at the Crater, you’ll have around 45 minutes to explore the vibrant reef and sealife before the rest of the boats come.
The second stop is at Turtle Town. Occasionally, the weather will force a different location, but you’ll always be snorkeling at an impressive underwater location.
YOUR BOAT
There are many reasons to choose this trip: amazing crew, multiple courses of delicious food, and it’s early enough to miss the crowds but be home for a full day of fun. But the fact that you get to ride on a 65-foot sailing catamaran with very few other passengers makes the trip legendary. You’ll skip the crowds and enjoy a luxurious trip.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
If you need gear, reef-safe sunblock, or even a refresher on how to snorkel, this is a great Molokini tour for you. The crew is constantly coming around with food, too: freshly baked cinnamon rolls, greek yogurt parfait with granola and Kula strawberries, fresh fruit, frittatas, ham and cheese sliders, fresh coffee, teas, and hot chocolate. Once you’ve finished snorkeling, grab a bloody or mimosa.
