Molokini Crater Snorkeling Tour
The volcanic Molokini Crater is a highlight for snorkel tours on maui. It’s underwater with over 100 marine species. Dive in and see the clear water filled with colorful fish. You may even catch a manta ray gliding past. Most visitors call this an island, but it’s actually the lungs for the volcano sitting in the middle of Maui. Check out our favorite snorkel boat company – Seafire Charters!
Turtle Town Snorkeling
Turtle Town is a great snorkeling spot. It features underwater lava formations. These are home to Hawaiian green sea turtles and where the turtle cleaning stations are located. Imagine a car wash for turtles – they swim up and the little fish get to work removing the vegetation that grows on their shells. While snorkeling turtle town, you can swim with these amazing turtles but please remember to watch from a distance as we don’t want our turtles to get hurt or become fearful of us.
