Once you have been, it is easy to understand why snorkeling Molokini has become the number one snorkeling destination in the Hawaiian Islands. Molokini offers exceptionally clear water with visibility reliably in excess of 100 feet. Molokini snorkeling is truly a unique experience, as there are only three submerged volcanic calderas, including Molokini Crater, in the entire world. In this offshore marine sanctuary, sparkling waters are just the beginning of an experience you will not soon forget.

With hundreds of species of fish and marine animals endemic (native) only to Hawaii, and coral combinations not found anywhere else in Hawaii, snorkeling Molokini is a rare opportunity to view marine life and coral formations not found anywhere else in the world. Molokini truly is one of the most unique snorkeling destinations in the world.

Board our spacious 54’ sloop-rigged sailing catamaran with ample room for lounging and unobstructed views of Kahoolawe and Lanai. Our first snorkel stop is to the iconic Molokini crater followed by a 2nd stop, usually to Turtle Town*. Your Molokini excursion is lead by seasoned Captain & Crew who guarantee to get all the little details just right to assure you a safe, fun, and comfortable day!

Your tour starts with a continental breakfast of Mom Coon’s 4th generation cinnamon rolls and chilled tropical fruit, complimented with Kona coffee, hot tea, hot cocoa, or pineapple juice. Molokini crater is an iconic moon-shaped islet with incredibly clear water off of Maui’s Southern coast. With reef visibility of up to 150 feet, the crater is home to over 250 species of fish, sprawling coral reefs, and a diverse selection of marine wildlife, including ulua, manta rays, and monk seals.

For lunch, enjoy our savory teriyaki grilled chicken, a crunchy tossed green salad with Mom Coon’s famous dressing, luau rice and soft Hawaiian sweet rolls. Lunch is always served–no buffet lines or paper plates and plastic silverware aboard our first-class boats! After your BBQ chicken lunch, we’ll raise the sails, and make our way back to Ma’alaea Harbor. For guests 21+ (with ID), two adult premium beverages are included on the return sail, as well as sodas, juice, and filtered water.
