Join us for an exhilarating 4 hour Maui Snorkel Tour aboard Reef Explorer, Hawaii’s newest custom built Super Raft.

This smooth, fast and fun ride will take you to snorkel the crystal clear waters of Molokini Crater, and arrive with impressive speed. Molokini Crater is a crescent-shaped volcanic crater about 3 miles off Maui’s south shore, and is one of Maui’s most unique and beautiful places to snorkel.

What to Expect

Our small group tour stays away from crowds and gives guests a semi private experience. We spend less time traveling to Molokini Crater and more time in the water, exploring the marine life of this natural volcanic wonder.

Molokini, a crescent-shaped volcanic crater about 3 miles off Maui’s south shore, is one of Maui’s most unique and beautiful places to dive and snorkel. Its shape creates a protective oasis from waves and strong channel currents. The partially submerged cinder cone is home to a lush reef teeming with marine life, 250 different species of reef fish and hundreds of species of coral, some of which are found only in Hawai’i. Reef sharks and moray eels can sometimes be seen in the crater.

This world-renowned spot has excellent visibility, with depths ranging from only a foot near the shore to 20-50 feet in most dive spots, to over 300 feet at its deepest points. It has an area of 23 acres and is almost a half mile wide. It is the remains of one of seven volcanoes that formed the prehistoric Maui Nui island over 230,000 years ago. Early Hawaiians visited Molokini to fish, as well as to hunt seabirds, eggs, and feathers. Today, the crater is a Hawai’i state seabird sanctuary.

On this trip we also stop at our favorite Turtle Cove to swim with an abundant population of Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles. This unique cove is known as a turtle cleaning station, and is where this protected species come to have their shells cleaned by Surgeonfish. Our favorite turtle cove is not accessible to large tour boats or catamarans, which allows a completely private experience to swim with these graceful creatures. We often see up to one dozen at a time!

About Our Boat

Up close and personal. Our Rigid Hull Inflatable rafts are fast, safe and fun. Our favorite way to get out on the water, Reef Explorer allow guests to sit just a few feet above the ocean and take in the fast and exhilarating ride.

With small group sizes we travel to more remote locations to swim with sea turtles, view Maui’s stunning sea cliffs and snorkel areas where large tour boats simply cannot go. Our fast and fun rafts are one of the many reasons guests choose our private charter over catamarans and sail boats.

Groups up to 20 passengers will sail aboard our fast raft, the Reef Explorer
