Visit world famous Molokini Crater on this small-group experience, with a second, expertly-selected location that is based on a customized itinerary for the day

Each adventure carries no more than 38 guests on Ocean Explorer, a 54 ft. single deck catamaran with open seating and unimpeded views. Snorkel the iconic volcanic crater and its beautiful reef known for crystal clear waters, abundant coral, colorful fish, and resting seabirds. A flexible itinerary includes visiting a second snorkel location, determined by our expert crew based on conditions of the day (like Turtle Arches, Puʻu Olai or the rarely visited back-side of Molokini!) as well as cruising along Maui’s coastline. Continental breakfast is included and a delicious BBQ lunch is prepared onboard.

Important:

As an intermediate to advanced snorkel adventure, this trip is not recommended for non-swimmers, pregnant women, people with heart conditions, or anyone with neck, back, knee or mobility problems. Children under 7 are not permitted.
