Overview

Explore the natural wonders of Molokini Crater, a volcanic islet 3 miles (4.8 km) off the coast of Maui, on this snorkeling tour from Maalaea. Surrounded by clear tropical waters, this extinct cone is home to many species of marine life, such as fish, sea urchins, sharks, manta rays, and coral. Molokini is a marine preserve, meaning nothing can be disturbed, keeping the island and underwater environment pristine. You'll also explore Turtle Town, and admire native birds. Two water slides, a glass bottom viewing room, and a "leap of faith" are also available if you don't want to snorkel or finish early. Breakfast, lunch, snacks, soda, and juice are included.

Itinerary

A tour with the Calypso is one of the most fun on Maui! This stable, high-speed, triple-decker catamaran will get you to two snorkel sites fast: Molokini Crater and Turtle Town, and with all the equipment you need and plenty of food on board, what more could you ask for?

The Calypso leaves from Ma’alaea Harbor, and after you are welcomed aboard by your friendly crew, you can take a look at the delicious continental breakfast. After everyone is settled in, it’s off to the most popular underwater destination in Maui for some Molokini snorkeling! While you are enjoying the feel of the ocean wind in your hair.

Molokini Crater is located between the islands of Maui and Kaho’olawe. This beautiful site is not only home to several fish species, but many species of birds, as well! The crater is a designated Marine Life Conservation District and bird preserve, so no fishing or climbing on the crater is allowed, but wearing flippers and a mask to watch the fish is perfectly wonderful.

After your Molokini snorkeling, Calypso will whisk you to Turtle Town – a second snorkeling spot. Off the south side of Maui, Turtle Town is home to several large sea turtles as well as dynamic reef fish.

We went as a family of 7 adults and 3 children. Children ages 4 months, and 2 two year old boys. We were able to take turns snorkeling with the kids. The boys loved watching the fish thru the bottom boat viewing area and they also very shortly rode the floating Zayak with a see though bottom. There were not a lot of different types of fish to see at Molokini, but there were some turtles to see at turtle town. The food was perfect. The pulled pork was delicious and the cookies at the end was perfect. We got ro see a momma whale and her baby on the way back in. The boat captain was very clear with improvement instructions about safety for the trip. Russ, a crew member made sure we were having a good time. This is our second excursion with him. What a nice guy!! They also had a photographer that was very interactive with the guest. He even took pictures out in the water. The pictures were available for pictures. Plenty of crew members to help out. Highly recommended.

The boat ride and snorkling were a blast for our family. We loved the slides and jumping off the platform. My husband jumped off the platform and lost the Go Pro that was snapped to his chest. A member of the crew got into the water to try and retrieve it. Even though he was unable to find it, we appreciated he was willing to look. Everyone had an amazing time!

Ship crew super awesome and welcoming. Breakfast is okay and lunch was great. Pasta salad and pork sandwich (with the option of ham or turkey if wanted). Snorkeling at molokini crater was much better than turtle town. If you want to see more turtles swimming go to black rock beach.
