Snorkel Molokini and nearby turtle-rich reefs on a five-hour small-group catamaran trip from Ma'alaea Harbor.

About this tour

Set out from Ma'alaea Harbor for a small-group snorkeling adventure in Maui's clear Pacific waters. Aboard the 54-foot Ocean Explorer, you'll head toward Molokini and may visit one or more nearby reefs where sea turtles are plentiful. The catamaran's open viewing environment makes it easy to take in the ocean scenery between snorkel stops.

Arrive 60 minutes before departure for continental breakfast, then use the provided snorkeling gear to explore the water. After your time in the sea, enjoy beverages and a buffet lunch on board, with live commentary throughout the trip. This five-hour Molokini snorkeling tour pairs a visit to the crater with the chance to observe sea turtles in their natural habitat.

The experience is designed for guests ages 7 and older with moderate fitness. Non-reef-safe sunscreen and full-face masks are not permitted, and reef-safe sunscreen is available for purchase on board. Choose this Maui Molokini snorkel tour for an open-air cruise, reef exploration, and a memorable chance to see turtles.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.80 from 127 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 7.1.
