Molokini Snorkeling Adventure Aboard Calypso (MAUI / Ma'alaea Harbor)

Highlights

  • Explore the waters with provided snorkel gear

  • Enjoy two meals during the tour

  • Participate in a variety of water activities

Summary

A tour with the Calypso is one of the most fun on Maui! This stable, high-speed, triple-decker catamaran will get you to two snorkel sites fast: Molokini Crater and Turtle Town, and with all the equipment you need and plenty of food on board, what more could you ask for? The Calypso leaves from Ma’alaea Harbor, and after you are welcomed aboard by your friendly crew, you can take a look at the delicious hearty breakfast. After everyone is settled in, it’s off to the most popular underwater destination in Maui for some Molokini snorkeling! While you are enjoying the feel of the ocean wind in your hair. Molokini Crater is located between the islands of Maui and Kaho’olawe. This beautiful site is not only home to several fish species, but many species of birds, as well! The crater is a designated Marine Life Conservation District and bird preserve, so no fishing or climbing on the crater is allowed, but wearing flippers and a mask to watch the fish is perfectly wonderful. After your Molokini snorkeling, Calypso will whisk you to Turtle Town – a second snorkeling spot. Off the south side of Maui, Turtle Town is home to several large sea turtles as well as dynamic reef fish.

About operator:

Calypso was delivered to Maui in June 2017, and it's the only triple decker Catamaran on the island! Snorkel Molokini and Turtle Town on this state-of-the-art vessel. Features included 2 slides, 11 dive steps, 3 bathrooms, glass bottom viewing area and more. Gear, breakfast, lunch and drinks included. 11 dive steps make entry to and exit from the water simple. Snorkeling Molokini is a must do for Maui! Visit Maui's #1 snorkeling and diving destinations named Molokini. Molokini is an extinct volcanic cone that offers 180 feet of snorkeling visibility. If you need additional entertainment, take advantage of our water slide or leap off the second deck. It is easy to use and kids can have a blast. If you don't want to snorkel, take a peek at the reef through our dedicated glass bottom viewing room. We have a crew in the water at all times to keep an eye on our snorkelers and swimmers. After leaving Molokini, our second snorkeling spot is Turtle Town. This location offers a unique experience to swim with the Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles. Calm blue water, beautiful coral and turtles make for a really fun and exciting time. After Turtle Town, you will enjoy our lunch buffet. Barbecued pulled pork and chicken sandwiches, pasta salad, and water front dining highlight this experience. For desert enjoy delicious chocolate chip cookies. There is also a vegetarian option.
