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. ## Before you book - Meeting point: MEETING LOCATION: Ma'alaea Harbor 101… - Starts 07:30: one departure a day - Wheelchair accessible: operator-marked - Strollers OK: infants accepted **Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point ## Key facts - Price: from €172 per person - Duration: 5h 30m - Rating: 4.64/5 from 2236 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Calypso Charters - Group: Shared tour - Guide languages: English - Start times: 07:30 - Booking: Instant confirmation, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-11-07 ## Reviews 4.64 from 2236 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 91% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 2032 of 2236. - 5 stars: 1789 (80%) - 4 stars: 243 (11%) - 3 stars: 117 (5%) - 2 stars: 30 (1%) - 1 star: 57 (3%) ## What's included - Maui's only triple-decker catamaran with plenty of seating - "Jump for Joy" jumping platform - Two slides - Use of top-quality snorkel gear and flotation devices - Flatbread turkey sandwiches, and veggie burgers (vegetarian option must be ordered at time of booking) - Hot Coffee, Tea, Ice-cold sodas and Juice - Professional captain and crew - Chips, potato salad, fruit and veggie platters and chocolate chip cookies - Glass-bottom viewing room - Fuel surcharge ## Not included - Gratuities - Hotel pickup and drop-off - Towels - Parking fees - Alcoholic beverages are available to purchase for $3.00 each - Wetsuits are available to rent for $10.00 each - Dramamine is available for purchase 2 tablets for $5.00 - T-shirts available for purchase for $20.00 ## Schedule - Runs: daily - Departures: 07:30 - Schedule last checked: 2026-11-07 - These are published departures, not a live seat count; availability is confirmed at checkout. ## Cancellation For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time. ## Meeting point MEETING LOCATION: Ma'alaea Harbor 101 Ma'alaea Rd, Slip 76 - 78 Ma'alaea, HI 96763 MANDATORY CHECK-IN: 6:45AM PROMPT DEPARTURE: 7:30AM Ends: back at the meeting point ## Good to know - Wheelchair accessible - Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller - Service animals allowed - Public transportation options are available nearby - Not recommended for travelers with poor cardiovascular health - Travelers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness - MANDATORY CHECK IN: 6:45AM --- PROMPT DEPARTURE: 7:30AM - PLEASE PRINT OR DOWNLOAD YOUR TICKET AFTER CHECKOUT - THE MAJORITY OF YOUR QUESTIONS CAN BE ANSWERED WITH INFORMATION LISTED ON YOUR TICKET - Snorkel locations are determined daily by our captains based on weather, swell, and many years of experience in Maui waters - Wildlife sightings, while likely, are not guaranteed - With your safety as a top priority alcohol is served once the snorkel portion of the tour is complete - Alcoholic beverages are available to purchase for $3.00 each.
