# Maui: Molokini Snorkel & Whale Watch Tour From Kihei

**Guidekin's take:** Combine Molokini Crater snorkeling with whale watching from a raft departing Kihei. Snorkel gear, wetsuit tops, flotation, snacks, drinks and hydrophones are included; whale watching is seasonal and pregnant travelers cannot join. 4.85 from 206 reviews at €147 per person for 2h 30m.

In our comparison: #28 of 49 in Molokini & Snorkeling Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

This activity is unique because it combines two of Maui’s best ocean experiences into one trip: Molokini Crater snorkeling and bonus whale watching. Guests get about 1 hour to snorkel at the world-famous Molokini Crater, then enjoy the rest of the tour cruising for humpback whales during whale season.

You’ll also ride on our brand-new 40 ft Zodiac raft, built for a faster, smoother, and more exciting ocean adventure. It’s a great option for travelers who want a fun 2-in-1 experience without spending the whole day on the water.
