Molokini & Turtle Adventure
What your day looks like
This small-group experience includes everything offered on our Molokini & Turtle Arches tour plus extended snorkel time and the rare opportunity to explore the deeper outer edges of Molokini, where you may encounter unique and elusive marine life. Experience the wild side of Maui on this small-group ocean safari to Molokini and beyond. The itinerary changes daily based on ocean conditions to ensure that we are snorkeling at the best sites off Maui’s coast and at Molokini. Weather permitting, we offer an exclusive drift snorkel on the backside of Molokini crater or in the vast open blue sea, with depths reaching up to 300 feet. Dive into an unforgettable underwater experience like no other! In addition to Molokini, we may visit the most recent lava flows off Maui of the Ahihi-Kinau Reserve or other geological wonders of the volcanic formation, Haleakalā. This trip gives you the best opportunity to see Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles, dolphins, sharks, rays, and, seasonally, Humpback whales. This adventure includes breakfast, lunch, warm showers, private restrooms, and cold Maui brews for your comfort on this epic adventure. Our vessel, Ocean Explorer, is purposefully designed to offer unimpeded views and high maneuverability to traverse the waters of Maui Nui with ease. The deck offers a low-to-the-water perspective, and you’ll feel fully immersed in the experience when watching wildlife or approaching the scenic lava formations of Maui.
