From Ma'alaea Harbor, Maui: Molokini Snorkeling Adventure Aboard Calypso
» Hawaii » Hawaii » Hawaii
Explore the natural wonders of Molokini Crater, a volcanic islet 3 miles (4.8 km) off the coast of Maui, on this snorkeling tour from Maalaea. Surrounded by clear tropical waters, this extinct cone is home to many species of marine life, such as fish, sea urchins, sharks, manta rays, and coral. Molokini is a marine preserve, meaning nothing can be disturbed, keeping the island and underwater environment pristine. You'll also explore Turtle Town, and admire native birds. Two water slides, a glass bottom viewing room, and a "leap of faith" are also available if you don't want to snorkel or finish early. Breakfast, lunch, snacks, soda, and juice are included.

Reviews
Breakfast and lunch were very good, and it was great that they had ginger ale for those moments of sea sickness. I recovered immediately.
We also saw dolphins!!!
The tours have such an incredible platform for educating tourists about how we could make a positive impact on the island but they aren't using it and that's sad. We heard "don't use spray sunscreen, it gets all over the boat", not "Don't use spray sunscreen, even if mineral based it has chemicals that kill the ocean life".
Fun Fact: No one wants to pay to go on an ocean tour, if there's no coral and/or no ocean life. So even if it's a business move, educate the public.
And just to complain a little more: Watching people's breakfast/lunch plates, cans, and cups blow off the boat because they are paper, that sucked too.
