About Molokini and Turtle Town Snorkel Adventure aboard Pride of Maui

Embark on an unforgettable Hawaiian aquatic journey aboard the spacious Pride of Maui catamaran. Dive into the crystal-clear waters of Molokini Crater and swim alongside majestic green sea turtles at the famous Turtle Town. This all-inclusive adventure features delicious meals, refreshing beverages, and premium snorkeling gear for a perfect day at sea.

Local Legends & Stories

According to Hawaiian mythology, Molokini was a beautiful woman turned into stone by Pele, the fiery goddess of volcanoes, out of jealousy over a shared lover. Today, this ancient volcanic caldera serves as a sacred marine sanctuary protecting hundreds of vibrant species.

Must Do Experiences

  • Snorkel the vibrant, crescent-shaped Molokini Crater, known for visibility exceeding 100 feet.

  • Swim respectfully alongside Hawaiian green sea turtles (Honu) in their natural habitat at Turtle Town.

  • Enjoy a freshly prepared BBQ lunch and sip on a complimentary tropical cocktail or craft beer on the spacious open-air deck.

  • Keep an eye out for playful spinner dolphins or, during winter months, migrating humpback whales.

Hidden Gems

  • Head to the bow of the Pride of Maui early to secure the best spot for whale watching during the winter season.

  • Ask the onboard marine naturalists to point out the endemic Hawaiian reef fish, like the Humuhumunukunukuapua'a, which you can't find anywhere else in the world.

  • Take advantage of the boat's glass-bottom viewing ports if you want to take a break from swimming but still want to see the marine life.

What Makes it Special

  • The Pride of Maui is one of the most spacious and stable catamarans in Hawaii, featuring a sprawling observation deck and a glass-bottom hull.

  • This tour offers a fully inclusive culinary experience, providing both a hearty breakfast and a delicious BBQ lunch, complete with an open bar.

  • Expert marine naturalists are on board to provide in-depth ecological insights and ensure a safe, educational experience for all skill levels.

Perfect Timing

When to visit for the best experience

The best time to take this tour is during the morning hours when the ocean is typically calmest and visibility at Molokini is at its peak. If you visit between December and April, you will also have the incredible bonus of spotting humpback whales migrating through Maui's warm waters.

Photography Guide

Capture the perfect shots

  • Bring an underwater action camera with a floating strap to capture the vibrant reef life and sea turtles safely.

  • Use a polarizing filter on your standard camera or smartphone to cut through the ocean glare while shooting from the boat deck.

  • Shoot in burst mode when trying to capture sea turtles surfacing for air to ensure you get the perfect, sharp shot.

Cultural Etiquette

Respect local customs and traditions

In Hawaiian culture, the green sea turtle (Honu) is considered a sacred guardian spirit (aumakua) and a symbol of good luck. It is both a cultural expectation and a federal law to maintain a respectful distance of at least 10 feet from the turtles and never touch or chase them.

Special Events & Experiences

Enhanced experiences and seasonal highlights

  • Maui Whale Festival (February): Celebrate the peak of the humpback whale migration season with special sightings right from the boat.

  • King Kamehameha Day (June): Experience local Hawaiian festivities and parades in the towns before or after your morning snorkel trip.

Important Guidelines & Safety

Essential safety information and guidelines

  • Always listen to the captain and crew's safety briefings, especially regarding water entry and the strict no full-face mask policy.

  • Use the provided flotation devices, such as pool noodles or boogie boards, if you are not a confident swimmer to conserve energy and stay safe.

  • Stay within the designated snorkeling areas monitored by the crew and avoid swimming too close to the sharp coral reefs.

Visitor Information

Entry Fee

The tour price typically includes the boat cruise, all meals (breakfast and lunch), beverages including an open bar, and standard snorkeling gear. Additional costs may apply for optional upgrades like wetsuit rentals, underwater camera rentals, or crew gratuities.

Visit Duration

The entire excursion generally lasts about 5 to 6 hours, departing early in the morning and returning by early afternoon. This provides ample time for cruising, eating, and enjoying two distinct snorkeling locations.

Accessibility

While the Pride of Maui is a large and stable vessel, guests must be able to navigate a few steps to board the boat and use the ladders to enter and exit the water. Wheelchair accessibility is limited, so it is best to contact the operator directly to discuss specific mobility needs.
