This was perfect for a half day trip to several snorkeling destinations. The crew was a lot of fun and personable and had great food prepped for us. Very easy going and the underwater wildlife was great! I highly recommend this tour group.

About Molokini Crater: 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.
