Snorkel sites explained
Molokini Crater offers crystal-clear water and coral walls protected from waves. Turtle Town is a gentle reef where honu (green sea turtles) are often seen. Your crew chooses the day’s sites based on ocean conditions.

Note: Turtles are commonly seen at Turtle Town, rarely at Molokini.

Traveling with kids?
Choose wide decks, shade, and easy water entry. Our crew helps with gear and flotation so families can relax.

Not a strong swimmer?
We provide vests, noodles, and in-water support. You can enjoy the reef at your own pace.

FAQ

Which tour is best for families?

The Pride of Maui Molokini Snorkel Tour offers families plenty of space, optional SNUBA diving for guests 8 and up, and an exciting water slide, not to mention breakfast, a BBQ lunch, and cookies!

Is there air conditioning?

Our luxury vessel, the Pride of Maui ‘Elua, has the first and only air-conditioned cabin on Maui.

Can I try SNUBA?

Absolutely! SNUBA is available on the Pride of Maui Molokini Snorkel Tour as an additional activity for all guests 8 years and up.

How accessible are the tours?

There is a wheelchair ramp at Ma’alaea Harbor and our expert crew will be on hand to assist guests on and off of our vessels.

What’s the difference between the two Molokini tours?

Both tours visit Maui’s world-famous Molokini Crater, but they offer two distinct experiences.

The ‘Elua Luxury Molokini Snorkel Tour is a small-group trip (up to 49 guests) aboard our luxury yacht with an air-conditioned lounge, premium service, and chef-inspired meals. It operates Monday–Friday, 7:00 AM – 12:00 PM.
The Pride of Maui Molokini Snorkel Tour is our classic, family-friendly adventure aboard a spacious 65-foot catamaran with open decks, a waterslide, BBQ lunch, and optional SNUBA diving. It runs daily, 8:00 AM – 1:00 PM.

In short: choose ‘Elua for a refined, small-group luxury experience or Pride of Maui for a lively, family-style snorkeling adventure.
