Half-Day Deluxe Molokini Snorkel Excursion in Maui
Overview
Begin your morning with a chef-prepared buffet breakfast as we cruise to Molokini Crater, a world-renowned marine preserve home to over 400 species of tropical fish and coral reefs.
Your adventure continues with a second snorkel stop, chosen daily for the best conditions and marine life. In summer, that often means exploring Turtle Town, where Hawaiian green sea turtles rest and swim. In winter, we may shift course for whale watching, tracking Maui’s migrating humpback whales. This is our Deluxe tour for a reason—we go where the magic is.
Sip on Hawaiian mimosas, Aperol Spritz, and Maui Brewing Co. craft beers as you enjoy the ocean breeze and panoramic views. After a refreshing swim, indulge in a generous island-style buffet lunch served onboard.
To close the day, we raise the sails and catch the trade winds for an authentic open-ocean sailing experience before returning to the harbor.

The answers provided below were previously given in response to questions from City Boat Tours customers.
Filter by:
Yes, we allow pregnant women to go on snorkeling. However, it’s crucial to consult with your healthcare provider before doing so to assess your individual health and pregnancy stage.
Jan 2022Yes, this is possible, as long as you are comfortable going into the water. All City Boat Tours snorkeling tours adhere to strict safety regulations and have been designed to be enjoyed by all.
Your safety is our #1 priority, which is why:
- You will be wearing a flotation device at all times.
- On many tours, there is a stairway from the boat into the water so you won’t have to “jump” in!
- There are trained staff in the water and watching from the boat at all times.
For these reasons, we believe that even non-swimmers can have a wonderful time on our snorkeling trips, however, the final judgment call is yours to make. Please note we do not give refunds if you decide not to snorkel on the trip.
Oct 2021The snorkel gear we use on City Boat Tours tours is high quality and for your protection, the equipment is sanitized after each use. However, if you feel more comfortable using your own snorkeling equipment, feel free to bring it on the tour. Please note, there is no discount for providing your own equipment and we can’t be responsible for any lost or damaged items.
May 2023First-time snorkelers can be assured of one-on-one instruction and assistance. We find introducing folks to our world very rewarding!
Oct 2021There are no legal age limits for snorkeling. We have found that age 5 or 6 is a good age to learn the basics of snorkeling, however, it’s entirely up to individuals to make the best choice for their family.
Sep 2021If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy.
