Molokini Crater and Turtle Town Snorkeling Tour from Ma'alaea Harbor

BOOK THIS TOUR DIRECTLY WITH THE OPERATOR TO SAVE MONEY. Viator claims to have a best price guarantee, but it’s bogus. This tour was a lot of fun. The boat and crew were great! Molikini had some decent snorkeling, but it wasn’t amazing. The turtles in turtle town were awesome. We also saw plenty of whales.

It was an amazing experience , crew was exception and very attentive. Tried snuba diving for the first time , it was an incredible experience. Please try the snorkeling suit , it helped us a lot to stay in water for longer time.

We can’t say enough good things about the crew and hospitality while on the boat, they were amazing especially to those of us who had it rough with sea sickness! Great choice for getting to see turtles and a wide variety of fish in the crater in one trip, worth it!

My wife and I did the Molokini Crater snorkel tour on the Pride of Maui from Ma'alaea harbor. From the start, it was clear that the captain and crew were not only competent but very concerned in looking out for everyone. They wanted to be sure everyone had a good experience. Once nice thing about going with the Pride of Maui is that their permit gives them a larger share of the Molokini crater for snorkeling. You have more room with them to explore and swim around than with other boats. The food was also plentiful and it was good, both breakfast and lunch. The boat itself was not too crowded either. The staff was very helpful both in putting on the snorkeling equipment and giving advice. I had only gone snorkleling once and my wife had never gone so we sat through the short class they offered on the boat. It made the experience that much better. We saw plenty of fish. Other reviewers have complained about not seeing very many fish, but you have to slow down and stay in one spot for a little while and then you will see the fish. The water was very clear. We stayed in Molokini the whole time because the waves had churned up Turtle Town and made the water cloudy, but Molokini is sheltered and not affected the currents or waves. We would definitely do this tour again!!

The crew was very professional, mindful of everyone on board. We appreciated one if the older Asian crew sorry didn’t catch her name but she really took care of our two sons.
