Why We Love It -  Perfect for snorkelers who like to sleep in. This ride gets you to Molokini after the crowds have left.

Enjoy an incredibly safe, fast and affordable snorkeling adventure. Avoid the crowds and sleep in; this tour leaves at 10:30 am! 


The 2-hour Molokini Express tour is a great way to experience the beauty and diversity of Hawaii's marine life, even if you have limited time on the island. It's suitable for all ages and skill levels, and is sure to be a memorable experience for anyone who loves the ocean.


Molokini is a partially-submerged, crescent-shaped volcanic crater. It is located between Kaho'olawe and Maui. You will snorkel the outer and inner reef of Molokini depending on the weather conditions (see important note below). You will find tropical fish almost everywhere. Awesome visibility, shafts of radiant light, steep drop-offs and towering cliffs make this snorkeling destination extremely unique.

Our powerful rafts will get you to the crater in about fifteen minutes. You will be briefed and equipped with our top-of-the-line snorkeling gear. And enjoy more than an hour of thrilling snorkel time at this stunning location.

A spectacular and popular drift is near the outer reef, which is about three feet in depth at certain points, but then suddenly drops off to about 200 feet. As you glide over this reef you feel like you are flying. This area of the crater may remind you of an abyss because the wall eventually plunges to depths of about 300 feet to 400 feet.


Important note: The Hawaiian trade winds, responsible for our lovely weather year round also can make for choppy seas. Occasionally, the trade winds are quite strong - in that case, we'll stay on the backside of the crater, sheltered from the wind for crystal clear serene water. In very rare cases, the wind may be too strong to visit Molokini and a favorable, shoreline alternative will be selected. Not to worry, in this rare case there are so many other stunning snorkeling spots, you will not be disappointed. Since the rafts are very fast with a shallow draft, you'll be able to access spots the big boats can't get to.
