If you want to see Maui, you’ll want to take a Molokini snorkel tour. The total round-trip ride time is five hours, making this one of the best values for your money. To keep your vacation costs down, Auntie Snorkel has online discounts for the best Molokini snorkeling tours. We also have the snorkel gear you’ll need to make the most of your trip.
Molokini Snorkeling
The Molokini Crater has been waiting for you for 150,000 years. Like an iceberg, you can’t see the whole thing. The arc-shaped rock towers at 160 feet above sea level. The other half is hidden in plain sight by the crystal blue waters.
Snorklers can get a closer look at the underwater world of the Pacific Ocean. Coral gardens are home to so many different species of fish and remarkable creatures. It’s no wonder this is a world-class snorkeling destination.
The Molokini boat has water slides, stairs and jump-off points that let you choose how to approach your snorkel adventure. Snorkeling gear is easy to rent from Auntie Snorkel.
Sail Maui in Style
Your all-inclusive price includes a hearty breakfast. Since you board so early, you’ll be glad that good food is waiting for you. During the five hour trip, you’ll have access to free sodas and other beverages. A picnic lunch provides sustenance with island scenery as the backdrop.
Even if you don’t want to go snorkeling, the boat ride alone is worth it. The Molokini Crater is a magnificent sight. You can use the glass-bottom reef viewing area to look down into the depths of the ocean. The coral reefs are easy to see thanks to the clear water. There are 250 different species of fish as well as turtles, manta rays and other sea life.
Whale Watching is seasonal. You are most likely to see these majestic creatures from December through February, but they may show up in November or still be around in May. There have even been sightings in October and April. Wildlife is on its own schedule, and we are just grateful to see the whales when we can.
Turtle Town Snorkeling
The trip could be shorter to Molokini, but the boat also stops at Turtle Town, a popular snorkeling area. You’ll swim with the sea turtles and see more of the exciting underworld around Maui.
Best Snorkeling Gear
You’ll need to bring your gear with you for the Molokini boat ride. Auntie Snorkel rents full-face masks and traditional masks at a discount when you preorder online. We can teach you the basics about snorkeling, and you’ll be ready to go to Molokini.
Remember you can save on your Molokini tour with online discounts from Auntie Snorkel.
Auntie Snorkel shop has been serving Maui’s fun seekers for over 33 years, established in 1985. We are the original South Maui Snorkel Shop. When I bought the shop ten years ago from Auntie we decided to keep the name. The name Auntie is a term of respect here in Hawaii. I am living my dream. I get to meet awesome people from all over the world and share with them my love and knowledge of this magical island I get to call home. We know all the spots. I have lived here since 2001. We are the true definition of a family owned and operated shop. I answer the phones and work the shop along with my family. When you shop with us you are supporting my ohana and for that I thank you!! Why go anywhere else? We are the friendliest, fastest, cheapest and our location is the most epic! Mahalo and Aloha.
Spent a week on Maui using the snorkel gear that Kyle helped us pick out. It was quality gear. Kyle also gave great recommendations for snorkeling beaches around the island, which were all amazing. We would definitely use Auntie’s Snorkel again!

The guys at both locations worked great for our family [mark and burton] they allowed us to get a rain check on our surfboards and boogie boards for later in the week. They even seamlessly allowed us to switch store locations since the store in Lahaina was much closer. I highly recommend this company. The first employee I think his name was mark even loaded our surfboards and strapped them to two of our cars! May you remember that Jesus alone saves.
