Maui: Molokini Express Snorkeling Tour - 2 hours

Snorkel in the crystal-clear waters of Molokini on a 2-hour express tour. Enjoy a fast, safe, and affordable adventure that leaves later in the morning to avoid the crowds. Board the boat and set off to Molokini, a crescent-shaped, partially submerged volcanic crater which forms a small, uninhabited islet located in Alalakeiki Channel between the islands of Maui and Kahoʻolawe. Once briefed, fitted with top-quality gear, and in the water, enjoy over one hour of snorkeling time at prime locations away from the crowds. By arriving at the crater just after most of the other boats have just departed, find the area to be almost empty allowing you to drift snorkel large areas of the rim if you choose to. One of the most popular and spectacular drifts is over the outer reef formed by the rim of the volcano which at points is only two or three feet deep and then drops off on the outside to 200 feet. Gliding over the reef gives one the “feeling of flying” as you look off the edge of the world. The backside of Molokini might remind one of “The Abyss” as the wall plunges to depths of 300 to 400 feet. If the wind picks up on the inside of the crater, this area is often the calmest water for snorkeling. Tropical fish are just about everywhere, but the shafts of light, awesome visibility, towering cliffs, and sheer drop-offs are what make this site so unique.
