MORNING MOLOKINI SNORKEL
If you have ever imagined exploring the beauty of a tropical underwater oasis, then our Molokini snorkel adventure is the ultimate experience for you and yours.
As the most sought-after snorkel excursion on Maui, our Molokini Snorkel Adventure transports you to the mystique of an ancient underwater volcanic caldera. Snorkeling at Molokini crater is truly a unique opportunity, as there are only 3 volcanic calderas including Molokini in the entire world. In this offshore, sheltered crater sanctuary, you experience clear, sparkling waters that only Molokini can provide, often boasting unlimited visibility. Over 250 species of fishes call the crater their home, making snorkeling at Molokini a rare, exotic adventure. The remarkable clarity of the waters at Molokini and the abundance of exquisite marine animals ensure an unforgettable and amazing Molokini snorkeling adventure.
When you experience our Molokini snorkeling adventure aboard the Pride of Maui, you will be equipped with professional snorkel gear to fully explore the underwater sanctuary. Come in your bathing suit, and we will take care of all the Molokini snorkel details, including your snorkeling gear, flotation devices, and optical masks. If you are feeling more adventurous, take your Molokini snorkel experience to the next level with scuba, snuba, underwater camera rentals, and trip videos all available on board.
After you have enjoyed your incredible fill of Molokini crater, the Molokini snorkeling adventure continues towards another incredible snorkeling destination – Turtle Town. This incredible tropical water oasis is bordered by a coral reef and underwater lava formations, animated by numerous colorful fishes, starfishes, and other aquatic delights. With more than 2,000 species of marine animals endemic to the Hawaiian islands (found only here), you will enjoy unique and dynamic snorkeling adventure. As you splash into the ocean at Turtle Town, you will be welcomed by one of Maui’s most gentle residents, the Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles. The curious sea turtles, who are intrigued by your presence, will often swim near you, to get a closer look. The Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles are a protected species and it is unlawful to touch, chase, ride or harass them in any way. By swimming calmly, and respecting the green sea turtles in their natural environment, guests are often delighted at how close the sea turtles will swim to you.
