Overview

This activity is unique because it combines two of Maui’s best ocean experiences into one trip: Molokini Crater snorkeling and bonus whale watching. Guests get about 1 hour to snorkel at the world-famous Molokini Crater, then enjoy the rest of the tour cruising for humpback whales during whale season.

You’ll also ride on our brand-new 40 ft Zodiac raft, built for a faster, smoother, and more exciting ocean adventure. It’s a great option for travelers who want a fun 2-in-1 experience without spending the whole day on the water.

What To Expect

During this 2.5-hour adventure, guests will cruise out to the world-famous Molokini Crater for a fun and scenic snorkeling experience. You’ll spend about 1 hour in the water exploring Molokini’s clear blue water, colorful reef fish, and beautiful underwater views.

After snorkeling, the rest of the trip turns into a bonus whale watching cruise. Sit back, relax, and enjoy searching for humpback whales as we cruise through the waters off Maui. Whale sightings are seasonal and not guaranteed, but during whale season this is a great way to experience both snorkeling and whale watching in one trip.

This tour is perfect for guests who want a shorter ocean adventure that includes snorkeling at Molokini plus extra time on the water enjoying Maui’s marine life and beautiful views.
