Frequently Asked Questions

What is Molokini Crater and why is it Maui’s best snorkel spot?

Molokini Crater is a protected marine sanctuary with calm, crystal-clear water and more than 250 species of tropical fish and coral, making it the absolute best place for snorkeling in Maui. Its crescent shape forms a natural barrier from the waves, so visibility regularly tops 150 feet, among the highest in the Hawaiian Islands. It is the most sought-after snorkel destination on Maui, and for good reason.

What’s the best time of day to snorkel Molokini?

Early morning is the calmest time for Molokini Crater snorkeling, offering the clearest water and the least wind. Our Molokini Deluxe Snorkel & Sail is designed to be the best Molokini tour available, departing at 7:00 AM to put you in the water at peak visibility without the crowds. As the winds fill in, we head to our second snorkel site in search of Hawaiian green sea turtles.

Are your snorkel tours suitable for beginners?

Yes. Molokini’s protected, shallow water is excellent for first-timers, making our Molokini snorkeling tour an ideal choice for beginners. Premium snorkel gear, flotation devices, and in-water guidance from our crew are included on every Maui snorkeling charter. Our crew is highly trained to support new snorkelers from the moment you step aboard.

Are sea turtle sightings guaranteed?

Yes, on our Turtles & Tacos Snorkel. Our crew knows exactly where to find Hawaiian green sea turtles in their natural habitat, making this Maui turtle snorkeling adventure the most reliable way to go snorkeling with turtles in Maui. If you don’t encounter turtles, we invite you back on a complimentary return trip or will refund your full ticket price.

What’s the difference between the Molokini Deluxe and the Turtles & Tacos charter?

Both are premier Maui snorkel experiences, but they serve different goals. The Molokini Deluxe Snorkel & Sail is our flagship, a five-hour morning charter combining Molokini Crater with a second snorkel site, a chef-prepared breakfast, ahi poke service, and a full island lunch buffet. Turtles & Tacos is a shorter mid-morning trip built around a single reef stop with guaranteed Hawaiian green sea turtle sightings, paired with a build-your-own taco bar and a full open bar.

What’s included with the snorkel tour?

Premium snorkel gear, flotation, reef-safe sunscreen, freshwater showers, and an expert crew including SSI certified in-water snorkel instructors are included on every Alii Nui snorkeling charter in Maui. A professional onboard photographer also captures every moment of your experience snorkeling in Maui.

Can I bring my own snorkel gear?

Yes. You are welcome to bring your own snorkel gear on any Maui snorkeling tour, and our crew is happy to help with proper fit and use. Please note that for safety reasons, full-face snorkel masks are not permitted.

Is shuttle transportation available?

Yes. Round-trip shuttle service to our Molokini snorkel charter is available from select Wailea and Kihei hotels for an additional fee, based on availability. Add it when you book.
