You’ll enjoy an extended Molokini snorkel before heading to a second pristine South Maui spot, such as La Perouse Bay, where spinner dolphins are often seen.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our excursion with the Redline Rafting crew. They did an outstanding job. Swimming on the back side of Molokini Crater was indescribable and worth the price of admission! It really was an enjoyable morning and we will certainly return in the future!

The snorkeling was incredible. Saw amazing amounts of coral at Molokini, lots of turtles at turtle beach and even more incredible coral at our third stop. The food was great and the ladies helping us were very kind.

Lots of fun for 5 hours of snorkeling, wave riding and fun!  We saw many fish in the reef at Molokini Crater. Then turtles at the last stop.  All in our party had a great time!

Molokini Crater is one of three volcanic calderas in the world and offers some of the best snorkeling in Maui, an undersea of vibrantly colored tropical fish and stunning coral reefs. This amazing unadulterated underwater view is made possible by the crystal clear waters surrounding Molokini and the Maui coastline.

Our comfortable and agile ocean rafts will get you there quickly so you can snorkel longer and see more. And, our max capacity is 24, so it’s ‘ciao’ to the crowds! Breakfast, lunch, wetsuits, snorkeling gear, (plus juice, water, and soda all day) are included (FYI: Alcohol is taboo due to the adventure factor). And yes, there’s a bathroom on board!

Snorkeling from Kihei

Our ideal and advantageous location allows guests staying in hotels or condos in Kihei, Kahului, Wailuku, Wailea or Makena a little more time to catch some z’s before embarking on a one-of-a-kind adventure. And once we’re all boarded, we’re just a quick 10 minutes to Maui’s most premier snorkeling at Molokini.
