About Pacific Whale Foundation – Molokini & Turtle Arches Snorkel
Set out from Ma'alaea Harbor for a day of snorkeling along Maui's scenic south shore, beginning with a cruise to Molokini. This volcanic islet is known as one of the best scuba diving and snorkel sites in the world. Along the way, enjoy a continental breakfast with freshly brewed Maui coffee and fruit juices. In the winter, whale sightings are an added bonus.
After mooring at Molokini, there is plenty of time to explore this remarkable mid-ocean oasis. The wide steps of the double-deck catamaran and waterslide make it easy and fun to get right in.
The next stop is Turtle Arches, a beautiful reef known for its underwater lava arches and green sea turtles. Join a free guided reef tour led by one of the Pacific Whale Foundation naturalists, who will point out sights you might miss on your own. Later, you'll be served a delicious BBQ lunch. This Maui snorkel cruise includes it all!
