Snorkel Molokini, listen for whales through a hydrophone, and watch for humpbacks on this 150-minute Maui ocean adventure.

About this tour

Set out from Maui for a fast-moving ocean adventure that pairs Molokini snorkeling with humpback whale watching. On this 150-minute Maui Molokini snorkel and whale watch, the ride is part of the experience: the route crosses waters where humpbacks, including mother-and-calf pods, are often seen.

Spend about an hour in the water exploring Molokini, a volcanic islet known for its snorkeling, when conditions allow. If the sea is unfavorable, the crew may choose a shoreline snorkeling site instead. The remaining time is devoted to the passage and whale watching aboard a maneuverable rigid-hulled inflatable. Listen for whale sounds through the onboard hydrophone, and ask the crew for whale facts along the way. Snorkeling equipment and beverages are provided.

This Maui Molokini snorkel and whale watch offers a compact way to combine time in the water with a close look at Maui’s seasonal whale activity. Check in 15–30 minutes before departure, then head out ready to watch the waves and explore below them.

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 6.9.
