Snorkel Molokini and Turtle Arches on a five-hour Maui cruise with fitted gear, a lesson, meals, and guided reef experiences.

About this tour

Set out from Maui for a five-hour snorkel adventure at Molokini and Turtle Arches, where clear water, volcanic formations, and colorful marine life make every swim memorable. At Molokini, explore a crescent-shaped volcanic crater home to more than 250 fish species. Then visit Turtle Arches, a reef known for underwater lava arches and gentle green sea turtles.

Maui Molokini snorkeling is welcoming for beginners, with a snorkel lesson, flotation devices, fitted gear, and a guided reef experience led by onboard naturalists. Wide swim steps and a water slide make getting into the water easy. Between snorkel stops, enjoy continental breakfast, a BBQ lunch with several menu options, unlimited nonalcoholic drinks, and one included premium beverage for each adult.

Check in at Ma'alaea Harbor 45 minutes before departure, bring your own towel, and get ready to discover two distinctive underwater sites on this Maui Molokini snorkel tour.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.55 from 836 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Maui
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 4.9.
