When you arrive on the island of Maui, you will instantly be struck at the stunning beauty that stretches as far as the eye can see, and that is found everywhere on the island. There are so many unique features around the island, many of which are found while traveling around Maui, and many that can be found just by taking a look around. One of the places that you can see from many places around the island is Molokini Crater, a crescent shaped islet that is found about 9 miles off the coast and is known as one of Maui’s top snorkeling spots.

You’ve likely seen pictures of Molokini, and if you aren’t familiar with it, you might be wondering just where to find it. Heading from Lahaina or Ma’alea Harbor, a short trip out to sea takes you to the islet, which is actually connected to Maui, and provides with incredible views of Maui. Many that head out to Molokini are thrilled with the boat ride out to the crater, though the snorkeling here is off the charts. Maui snorkeling doesn't get any better than Molokini Crater, and just being at this tropical destination is an amazing experience.

Once you arrive on this Maui snorkeling adventure, you get to dive right in and explore the vast underwater world that is found here. Colorful fish, green sea turtles, dramatic underwater formation, and a variety of different ocean dwellers are often spotted here, and the protection that the rising islet provides makes for great snorkeling.

Maui snorkeling is among the best in the world, and Molokini is just one of the incredible snorkeling spots that are found around the island. Many of the snorkeling adventures that are available take you to multiple snorkeling spots in one day and show off the diversity that is found beneath the surface of the ocean. Maui is incredible and visiting a destination like Molokini will be one of the highlights of your vacation.
