Start your day with a delicious buffet breakfast prepared by a chef as you sail to Molokini Crater, a famous marine sanctuary that hosts over 400 species of tropical fish and vibrant coral reefs.
The adventure continues with a second snorkeling stop, selected daily for optimal conditions and marine life. During the summer, this often includes a visit to Turtle Town, where Hawaiian green sea turtles can be seen resting and swimming. In the winter, the tour may change course for whale watching, observing Maui’s migrating humpback whales. This is the Deluxe tour for a reason—it takes you to where the magic happens.
Enjoy Hawaiian mimosas, Aperol Spritz, and craft beers from Maui Brewing Co. as you take in the ocean breeze and stunning views. After a refreshing swim, savor a generous island-style buffet lunch served onboard.
To end the day, the sails are raised to catch the trade winds, providing an authentic open-ocean sailing experience before returning to the harbor.
- In order to access the vessel, you will need to walk down a pier and step across a gap onto the deck. Crew will be able to assist with the gap.
- Restrooms are accessible via steps down into the cabin and ladder into the restrooms.

AWESOME catamaran snorkeling! 🤙 - This snorkeling/cruising/lunch tour was
GREAT!! First we went snorkrling to Molokini, a partial old volcano crater. TONS of different fish. Then had lunch as we cruised to south of Kanniapali beachs where we snorkeled with sea turtles and watched other fish clean their shells.
Capt. Ryan and the crew were GREAT! TOTALLY friendly and professional! It was the BEST time!!! ♥️🤙

An Amazing Day On The Water - We took the half day snorkeling cruise and had a blast. The crew was great and very helpful with our snorkeling. They made sure everyone had a good time. The lunch and snacks were delicious. Snorkeling was amazing. Saw lots of sea turtles.

10/10 Experience! - We booked the “Molokini Deluxe Snorkel & Sail” with the Premium Top Deck Seating, and it was absolutely incredible from start to finish. We were initially on the fence about paying extra for the upgrade, but I’m so glad we did.
The Premium Top Deck perks definitely made the day feel extra special — upgraded champagne, more personalized and attentive service, priority boarding, first access to snorkeling before the lower deck guests, and priority access to breakfast and lunch. Being on the top deck also gave us amazing panoramic views throughout the trip, which made the experience even more memorable.
That said, what truly made this excursion stand out was the overall quality of the experience and the incredible crew. The boat was beautiful, the snorkeling was amazing, the food and drinks were great, and the entire atmosphere was fun, relaxing, and well organized from beginning to end. Captain Ryan and Corey were especially awesome — friendly, energetic, and genuinely passionate about what they do. You can tell this crew loves creating a great experience for their guests and it absolutely shows.
Even without the Premium Top Deck upgrade, I honestly think this would have been an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend this tour company to anyone visiting Maui!

1000/10 Experience - Had the most incredible time with this crew! The service was unreal & snorkeling the crater was truly a dream. Kat and Pedro were awesome as well as the rest of the crew and I can’t imagine sailing with anybody else!
Food was delish as well as the drinks + they came around and cleaned your sunglasses and offered cooling towels.

Worth Every Cent!! - This experience is worth every, single penny. Captain Bre was not only a bad a** but she was full of local knowledge (born and raised in a Maui.) She spotted a momma and baby whale calf and turned us around so we could watch them both breech. Capt. Bre clearly loves what she does and the ocean.
Emiko greeted us and kept us fed, drinks full and catered to every need we had (or didn’t know we had). What a truly genuine and kind soul.
Cory also took great care of us. He made sure we had everything we needed as well. He has the gift of gab and truly engaged with the guests.
The snorkeling experience itself was incredible. No rush. No worry. Totally safe. We never felt like we were on a schedule. The water was clear. The turtles and fish and coral put on a mesmerizing show.
The food was delicious. The drinks never ran out. The staff was all professional, safety oriented and top notch. And super friendly.
Book this tour! It’s worth every penny.

Well worth it! - Amazing experience! Loved every minute- staff was attentive, checked in on us, and did everything to make our experience 10 out of 10. We were lucky to see whales as a bonus! Thank you to Josh, Cat, Lila and the rest of the crew for making our trip to Maui so memorable.

Great crew - The crew on this boat are top notch. They have this trip down - very professional. We didn’t see a ton of fish, but it’s still worth going. The buffet breakfast and lunch were good.
The only heads up - our boat had 54 people on board, which made it feel crowded at times.
