Tour Options
Itinerary
Skip over the waves on a comfortable and speedy military-inspired, eco-friendly raft to the Molokini Crater, where you will snorkel with tropical fish, rays and various other wildlife. As the first boat to arrive at the crater, the waters will be uncrowded. Here, you'll also enjoy a delicious continental breakfast. Water visibility at this prime diving and snorkeling spot often reaches 180 feet (55 meters)! If you need a break, relax on the boat’s comfy pontoons and soak up the sun. After snorkeling in the crater, head to the backside of Molokini Crater, a place many people rarely see, for another snorkeling experience.
On your way to your final snorkeling destination, 'Turtle Town,' hug the Maui coastline and view the island’s most recent lava flow on the way to beautiful La Perouse Bay. The bay is a natural habitat for the Hawaiian spinner dolphin, so keep a look out and get your camera ready!
The Kihei Boat Ramp is where we depart from and return to. We are one of the first boats to Molokini because we can get there faster than most boats so you will have plenty of pristine time to snorkel.
At 'Turtle Town,' jump in the water and swim with the friendly Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles! After snorkeling with the turtles, refuel with a deli lunch before heading back to Maui.

the BEST snorkel tour I could have asked for. More than worth the time and money!!! Tour guides Jake and Chase were so knowledgeable and fun, they definitely made the whole experience!
Tim and Emma were amazing! The winds were high today but they pushed through and gave us the confidence to snorkel in rougher conditions. We had an amazing time and it was very worth the money! Couldn't suggest this more! Already suggested this trip to my brother in-law!
Stop looking and book your snorkeling experience here with Redline! The guides are pros, fun, and flexible to requests. This experience blew my mind and I didn’t expect to have just as much fun on the boat, the captain asked us if the ride is too rough or not rough enough and made the ride such as blast! PS: I didnt expect to almost get seasick since I’ve gone on faster and slower boat rides, if I were to do this again I’d buy anti-nausea meds to make sure my fun isn’t ruined.
If you are looking for great snorkeling, lots of turtles, and just an all around great time……..this is the tour for you !!! Our boat captain, Mattie, was exceptional and we felt safe and well taken care of throughout the tour. Molokini was a blast and the under water reef was so much fun snorkeling there. Mattie followed this up with a visit to Turtle Town. OMG……we saw 10+ turtles………simply amazing.
Amazing experience, crew, food, and fun! Loved the boat, the guys were super funny and knowledgeable about local info. Great group of people and amazing spots!
Amazing way to spend 5 hours in paradise
We agree! No better way to spend the day and hopefully we can spend another day with you in the future! Mahalo nui loa, ~Alea, Ambassador to Snorkels and Smiles
Great guides. Friendly and knowledgeable. Excellent trip. Several people not in our party got seasick so bring something for that if it could be you.
This was an awesome trip. Tony and Ari (not sure of spelling) was absolutely phenomenal. They were both well experienced, met the needs of the small group, and provided great information and dad jokes.
What an awesome day! Got to check out 4 gorgeous snorkel spots with two friendly and hilarious guides. Food was great too.
Great time, made everybody's most memorable activity on the vacation.
Aloha! Ah that's great to hear we were a part of your best memories here on Maui! We hope we can make more in the future when you come back! Mahalo nui, Alea, Ambassador to Snorkels and Smiles
