Snorkel Molokini and a second Maui site, then enjoy a chef-prepared meal, open bar, and open-ocean sailing aboard a catamaran.

About this tour

Set out from Ma'alaea Harbor for a five-hour Maui Molokini Crater snorkel and sail, with a second ocean stop chosen for the day's conditions. Begin with a chef-prepared breakfast as the catamaran heads toward Molokini, a marine preserve known for tropical fish and coral. Slip into the water with premium snorkel gear, flotation, and instruction, then continue to another site where you may spot Hawaiian green sea turtles.

Between swims, unwind in a bow hammock or shaded cabin, rinse off with a freshwater shower, and enjoy passed snacks followed by a generous island-style buffet lunch. A professional photographer captures moments onboard and in the water. Sip from the full open bar, including Maui Brewing Co. favorites and Hawaiian mimosas, or choose non-alcoholic wine and beer. When conditions allow, the crew raises the sails for an open-ocean ride back toward the harbor.

Molokini access and the second stop depend on weather and seasonal conditions. Book your Maui Molokini Crater snorkel and sail for a day of underwater discovery, good food, and trade-wind sailing.

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 8.2. Top 23% in Maui means it ranks in the top 23% of tours in Maui by this score.
