About Pacific Whale Foundation – Molokini & Turtle Adventure Maalaea
Venture beyond Maui's familiar snorkel spots on a small-group ocean safari designed for confident swimmers ready to explore deeper water and more remote reef areas. With a maximum of 30 passengers, the smaller vessel can reach places that many larger boats cannot, creating a more personal day on the water.
The itinerary changes with ocean conditions so the crew can choose the best snorkel locations off Maui's south shore and around Molokini. Weather permitting, the adventure may include a drift snorkel along the backside of Molokini Crater or in the open blue sea, where the water can reach depths of up to 300 feet.
The tour may also visit the recent lava flows near the Ahihi-Kinau Reserve or other top snorkel sites. These waters offer the chance to see Hawaiian green sea turtles, dolphins, sharks, rays and humpback whales during the winter season.
