Small Group Molokini & South Maui Coast

$209.00

For travelers looking to explore the ocean during their time on Maui, we highly recommend an exciting snorkeling trip with Redline Rafting. Maxing out at 24 guests, this intimate experience takes place aboard one of their customized rafts! While not recommended for anyone with back or neck problems due to its faster speeds (and therefore bumpier ride), it’s an absolute blast for guests eager to see the beauty of Maui from above and below the ocean’s surface. Tours include snorkeling at 3 to 4 of South Maui’s best spots, as well as information about Hawaii’s history, geology, and marine life, and breakfast and lunch.

2-Hour Molokini Tour

snorkeling fish turtle

One of the only boat tours to depart from South Maui’s Kihei Boat Ramp, this tour is ideal for travelers seeking a true adventure on the ocean! After receiving a wetsuit and being welcomed with a hot cup of coffee, guests will hop aboard one of Redline’s 35-foot customized rafts. With a maximum of 24 guests, this Molokini rafting tour allows for a more intimate experience, as well as faster cruising speeds to some of the most scenic areas and best snorkeling areas along South Maui’s coastline.

Guides are all very friendly and experienced and love to share their knowledge of Hawaii’s history, geology, and facts about the local marine life and reef, as well as answer any questions you may have. After a quick ride to Molokini Crater, you’ll be given breakfast and a quick overview of the rules and safety standards before jumping in for an excellent snorkeling experience inside the Crater walls! Best of all, Redline Rafting also offers a unique snorkeling experience along Molokini Crater’s back wall, which is typically only frequented by advanced divers. Ride ‘the elevator’ and see a whole new side of Maui’s most popular snorkeling destination before cruising south to Maui’s stunning Forbidden Coastline, an area noted for its population of resting Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins and dramatic lava formations.

A refreshing lunch is served aboard the raft at the last Maui snorkeling spot of the day, Makena’s famed Turtle Town, where you’ll have the opportunity to snorkel alongside Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles and other tropical fish species. This activity is perfect for groups of friends, couples, and adventurous families and offers a less-crowded, personalized snorkeling experience of Maui.

What recent guests are saying

Google 5.0 (7,091)Yelp 5.0 (831)

Recent guests call this one of the most fun snorkel trips they've done anywhere. The small raft holds only a dozen or so people and gets to Molokini quickly, and the day includes several snorkel stops where guests report turtles, eels, reef sharks and lots of fish. Captains and crew are named constantly for being knowledgeable, flexible and full of jokes, and breakfast and lunch are included.

The raft ride can be bumpy in rough water, and a few guests mentioned seasickness, though they said the crew looked after them well.
