Not far from the coast of Maui is one of the most desirable snorkeling locations in Hawaii. A partially submerged volcanic crater, the tiny islet of Molokini breaks the ocean waters and is visible from many locations on South and West Maui, providing marine life with a place to seek shelter and feed, while giving visitors an experience they wont soon forget.
Instantly recognized for its crescent shape, the islet is located approximately 2.5 miles from Ma’alaea Harbor, and the boat ride out gives you incredible views of the entire Maui coast. Upon arrival, it is soon discovered that the powerful ocean seems to relax, giving snorkeler and divers a perfect place to view the tropical marine life that makes their homes here.
In addition to fantastic snorkeling, the channel that Molokini is located in is a known area where Humpback Whales are found. It is very common to spot one while heading out for snorkeling, and Whale Watching Tours are available in the winter months. These tours know the most common places to spot whales, and they are truly a sight to behold.
To find the best snorkeling tour for you and your party, visit our Maui Snorkeling Tours and discover the options that are available. Most tours include snorkeling at Molokini, as well as additional sites like Turtle Arches, the coast of Lanai, and sailing through the channel following a morning in the water.
