Molokini Snorkel Adventure

Molokini Crater

Some of the world’s most beautiful and awe-inspiring sights can be found on Maui, an island revered for her breathtaking array of sea life and crystal blue waters- no trip to the island would be complete without a journey into Maui’s seas. The waters are ideal for snorkeling with colorful tropical fish, mesmerizing coral reefs, and so much more.  And the absolute best place to snorkel in Maui is Molokini.

Molokini is a volcanic caldera located just off Maui’s southern coast; in fact, it is one of only three volcanic calderas in the world. Its unique crescent shape provides a natural barrier against currents and waves, which contributes to the amazing visibility in its waters- often in excess of 150 feet.  Plus, its close proximity to Maui’s shoreline makes it a safe haven for many types of sea life and other creatures; it has even been designated a Marine Life Conservation District. And because Molokini is such a special place, a Molokini snorkeling tour is a must-do while on Maui.
