This exclusive small group experience isn't your traditional snorkel tour, but an educational opportunity to understand and appreciate the ocean and marine life. Moreover, proceeds from our eco-tours goes towards support the research, education and conservation efforts in our organization's efforts to protect our oceans through science and advocacy.
Come aboard Ocean Spirit, our luxury sailing catamaran, on this exclusive experience as we navigate the South Maui and Mākena coastline to the protected waters of Molokini Crater. With this small group setting operating at 50% capacity, you’ll enjoy Maui’s most popular snorkel destination without the crowds. A small group means more time with our expert crew below the surface on an underwater reef tour and on deck as we sail alongside Haleakalā and Molokini. Ocean Spirit is a spacious platform for sunbathing on deck, feeling sea spray on the nets, recharging in our shaded cabin or scanning the horizon for wildlife.
Molokini is designated as a Marine Life Conservation District and a Sea Bird Sanctuary. One hour of snorkeling and bird watching at Molokini will be matched by a second hour of snorkeling and turtle watching at a shoreline location. Wildlife encounters while snorkeling most commonly include the Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle as well as an array of reef fish, many of which are endemic to the Hawaiian Island chain. With sailing, turtles, sea birds, snorkeling, Haleakalā views, local fare and fewer people, this is the Molokini and turtle experience you’ve been waiting for!
