Molokini Snorkeling Tours
Molokini snorkeling tours near Maui are not for you if you don't like crowds.
This odd horseshoe shaped tiny island was created from the top of a volcano off the southwestern coast of Maui. The shallow protected area on the inside of Molokini crater is a popular, almost overcrowded, snorkeling area because of its water visibility, coral growth, and abundance of reef fish.
Molokini Snorkeling Tour with Pacific Whale FoundationOur Molinini snokeling tour with Pacific Whale Foundation departed from Ma'alaea harbor in central Maui.They use large motorized boats to transport lots of passengers, so they have low prices for family snorkeling.
But we were so impressed with the new equipment provided to us that we just used their snorkel gear. The snorkeling was as good as we had expected. The inside of the crater drops off sharply, but is still relatively shallow where we were snorkeling.
Just before we returned to the boat, we saw a rectangular concrete slab at a depth of about 20 feet that looked out of place in the natural coral reef. Our boat guide explained that it was put there by the U.S. military to cover an empty bombshell that was too heavy to raise to the surface!
But the large inside cabin provided her plenty of room to just sit and read (she prefers reading about fish to actually swimming among them) when she wasn't tanning topside. Because she never left the boat, she was first to sample the burgers and hot dogs for lunch while we were out snorkeling. After getting back on board we just had time for our lunch before the boat raised anchor and headed out for the whale watching part of our Eco-Adventure.
