# Maui: The Best 2.5 Hour Molokini Snorkel Tour & Whale Watch

**Guidekin's take:** Ride a rigid hulled inflatable to combine Molokini snorkeling with whale watching and listen for whale sounds through a hydrophone. Snorkel gear is included, but reaching Molokini depends on conditions. 4.74 from 66 reviews at €159 per person for 2h 30m.

In our comparison: #38 of 49 in Molokini & Snorkeling Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

You are able to Snorkel in better areas than the "big boats" 

Most customers love the hydrophone we stick in the water to listen to the whales.

All of our staff will give whale facts as well as answer any questions.

The Express Whale Watch/ Molokini Snorkel is a great way to combine snorkeling at Molokini with a whale watching adventure on a fast and maneuverable rigid hulled inflatable. We almost always make it to Molokini on this one, but if conditions are not favorable, a shoreline alternate may be selected.

Your passage to and from Molokini will take you through waters laden with Humpback whales with a high percentage of mother/calf/escort pods. Just today a whale surfaced less than ten yards from our boat and lifted her calf out of the water on her head to show us. Awesome! About one hour is devoted to snorkeling, and 1 1/2 hours to passage and whale watching. Beverages and gear are included.
