Molokini Snorkeling

If you’ve ever snorkeled at Molokini, you’ll know why it’s considered world-class.  We’ve personally been snorkeling off the shore from Maui thousands of times.  We’ve also been snorkeling at Molokini Crater close to 100 times.  If we had the choice, it’s always gonna be Molokini.

Snorkeling from the shore is great, but the safety and clarity on the inside of Molokini’s Crater are unparalleled.  Plus, it’s fun to be on a boat off the Maui coast. A bonus is whale watching in season, along with occasional dolphins playing in our wake.

There are plenty of boats to choose from, so make sure you choose the best Maui snorkeling tour for you and your family!

Lana’i Island from Lahaina

 

Molokini isn’t the only place to go with great snorkeling! Those staying closer to Lahaina should consider a trip to the nearby island of Lana’i (the Pineapple Isle.) The snorkeling around this seldom-visited island is spectacular.

If you still have your heart on visiting Molokini, and you’re staying near Lahaina, consider driving to Maalaea Harbor (20+ minutes.) Some boats do go to Molokini from Lahaina, but it’s a very long trip.
