Snorkeling at Molokini and Turtle Town are some of the most fun things to do in Maui, and after exploring this underwater paradise, you will quickly see why Molokini crater has been rated as one of the amazing snorkel spots in the world. Although many Maui snorkeling tours will be packed with tons of people, the Hokua will carry up to only 35 passengers so you will be sure to have personalized attention during the best snorkeling in Maui. Enjoy a tasty continental breakfast on your way to the snorkel spots, a hearty lunch after your snorkel, and during winter months, you can even do a bit of whale watching in Maui too!
About Molokini: The Molokini Crater is a partially submerged volcanic crater located off of the southern coast of Maui in the ʻAlalākeiki Channel between Maui and Kahoʻolawe. Created millions and millions of years ago, this crater spans approximately 1/2 mile in diameter, but only 161 feet at its highest tip. The crescent shape of this islet is what makes it such a popular destination for snorkelers and divers alike, since it protects the underwater enthusiasts from the hard currents and waves of the channel.
Molokini is now home to around 260 marine species, including the black triggerfish, yellow tang, Moorish idol, parrotfish, raccoon butterflyfish and bluefin trevally. With so many visitors arriving to the crater each day, many of the fish have become quite comfortable around divers and snorkelers alike. With so many creatures, coral and wildlife, it is no wonder that it has been one of the top 100 diving destinations by a number of scuba diving magazines and websites.
