2 Hour Molokini Express Snorkel Trip

Product ID: 76832

Supplied by: Blue Water Rafting

Overview

“Fast, Safe, Affordable Fun. Sleep In…
This trip leaves later in the morning. We arrive at Molokini after all of the big tour boats have left. We snorkel the inside and outer reef and/ or the backside (conditions permitting) of Molokini without Crowds and get you back in around two hours. We almost always make it to Molokini on this one, but if conditions are not favorable, a shoreline alternate may be selected. Trip includes beverages and snorkel gear.
The Molokini Express is ideal for those who wish to enjoy the crystal clear waters and abundant marine life at Molokini but prefer to limit their time on the water to 2 hours. Molokini is a crescent-shaped, partially submerged volcanic crater which forms a small, uninhabited islet located in Alalakeiki Channel between the islands of Maui and Kahoʻolawe.

Express transport to Molokini via our high powered rafts will take less than 15 minutes. Once briefed, fitted with top quality gear and in the water, over one hour of snorkeling time is available at prime locations away from the crowds.

By arriving at the crater just after most of the other boats have just departed, we find the area to be almost empty allowing us to drift snorkel large areas of the rim if we choose to.

One of the most popular and spectacular drifts is over the outer reef formed by the rim of the volcano which at points is only two or three feet deep and then drops off on the outside to 200 feet. Gliding over the reef gives one the “feeling of flying” as you look off the edge of the world!

The backside of Molokini might remind one of “The Abyss” as the wall plunges to depths of 300 to 400 feet. If the wind picks up on the inside of the crater, this area is often the calmest water for snorkeling. Tropical fish are just about everywhere, but the shafts of light, awesome visibility, towering cliffs and sheer drop offs are what make this site so unique.

About Us
Blue Water Rafting has been offering a variety of high adventure snorkeling and sightseeing tours on Maui since 1985. Our tours are an awesome small group adventure! Climb aboard our fast moving high-tech Blue Water Raft and let the adventure begin! You will be snorkeling in the bay where dolphins spend a lot of their time, so there’s a good chance that you will be seeing pods of the spinner or bottle nose dolphins. Very cool!

South Maui is where the last volcanic eruption flowed, occurring a little over 220 years ago. It is a rugged area full of lava tubes, lava arches and sea caves. The Kanaio coastline is not accessible by car and only a few can hike the lava rocks surrounding this Coastline. As you travel around this southernmost tip of Maui , the ocean water seems more pristine, clear and beautiful blue-green! You will truly be amazed by the color of the water.

Our Blue Water Rafting adventure is snorkeling without the Molokini crowds. Guests can see dolphins and turtles in their natural habitats, volcanic lava in all it’s forms and enjoy a scrumptious lunch on board! Our friendly crew keep the party going! Snorkel gear, beverages and lunch are all included!
