Description
Experience the wild side of Maui on this small-group ocean safari to Molokini and beyond. The itinerary changes daily based on ocean conditions to ensure that we are snorkeling at the best sites off Maui’s coast and at Molokini. Weather permitting, we offer an exclusive drift snorkel on the backside of Molokini crater or in the vast open blue sea, with depths reaching up to 300 feet. Dive into an unforgettable underwater experience like no other! In addition to Molokini we may visit the most recent lava flows off Maui of the Ahihi-Kinau Reserve or other geological wonders of the volcanic formation, Haleakalā. This trip gives you the best opportunity to see Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles, dolphins, sharks, rays and seasonally, Humpback whales.
