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.

The captain and crew of the Calypso were very efficient and safety conscious. Also, we enjoyed their friendliness and humor. Although we could not go to Molakini crater because of weather,, the captain found another option, which was wonderful. This crew was very helpful helping people to have a wonderful experience.

This is our second time on the Calypso The captain and crew were excellent. The weather was not so great and we didn’t get out to Molokini this time, but we did get to snorkel in some beautiful areas and got to see many humpbacks jumping and playing. I would definitely recommend going with the Calypso crew

Weather wasn't perfect but we had a great time! The Captain and crew were amazing and VERY accommodating. We made 2 dive stops as Molokini was too windy and rough. But we had great snorkeling and saw a multitude of fish, turtles and even a very large gar. The high dive platform and slides were awesome. We also had several whale sightings which were simply amazing too. Highly recommend this trip!
