E njoy a beautiful afternoon on this 55 ft sailing power catamaran to Molokini Crater, one of the most diverse and stunningly colorful reefs in the world! This is a perfect way to enjoy an afternoon at Maui’s premier snorkeling spots during this 3 ½ hour snorkel cruise. A light deli lunch is available for a nominal fee with the ride back having an open bar with beer and wine. Check in is at 12:30pm and you’ll return at 4:00pm - leaving plenty of time to make those dinner reservations or even a luau!
Typically, due to the sometimes rough prevailing afternoon Maui trade winds, this tour may snorkel at Coral Gardens unless weather permits us to reach Molokini. Coral Gardens is also one of Maui's premier snorkeling destinations (rated as one of the World’s Top Ten Snorkel Sites) and offers a treasure of colorful underwater reefs loaded with amazing marine-life.
Enjoy the afternoon in this luxury catamaran at Molokini Crater or the nearby sheltered coves of Coral Gardens. Two mountains are in view – the West Maui Mountains and Haleakala Volcano, as we cruise through Maalaea Bay. It’s a condensed, family friendly afternoon adventure filled with colorful reefs, fish and larger marine life such as turtles, and maybe even a pod of dolphins will appear! A light lunch is available for a small fee.
This horseshoe shaped islet between the island of Maui and the island of Kahoolawe is a marine protected area and one of the highest rated snorkel and dive spots in the world! Molokini Crater is the tippy top of a volcano who’s submerged caldera contains a reef protected for eons from wind and waves. As a result the animals and coral here have evolved in isolation for many millennia producing species found nowhere else in the world but here! Visibility can reach over 100 ft in the crater and much of the reef is in shallow waters making for excellent snorkeling. Don’t forget to look to the sky as Molokini Crater is also a Marine Bird Preserve too with the Hawaiian Iwi (frigate) bird nesting on the overhead cliffs.
The protected coves along Maui’s Pali coastline are on the leeward side of the West Maui Mountains, where they are protected from wind and waves. The abundance of natural reef formations and clear and calm ocean conditions make for one of Maui’s top year-round snorkel spots! As the island’s prevailing northerly trade winds can get quite strong in the afternoons (15 to 25 mph) this is a great alternative if the weather prevents us from getting to Molokini. Our experienced crew and expert captain have the final say about the snorkel location for the afternoon. Your safety and comfort are our top priority!
