Highlights

Maalaea Harbor - Embark on your seafaring journey with a snorkeling expedition that offers a little bit of everything. After departing Ma’alaea Harbor, we’ll aim for Molokini crater, giving you the chance to snorkel in its pristine, crystal-clear waters. A second stop at Turtle Town, a known resting spot for resident Honu, will round out a perfect morning before returning home.

Molokini is a marine reserve with spectacular water clarity and a pristine coral reef. Rated one of the best snorkeling spots in the world, this reef has a variety of beautiful reef fish and animals. More than 400 varieties of fish are found in the Hawaiian waters and more than 25% of these are endemic, they are found only in Hawaii. Occasionally we see dolphins, Whales, Manta rays, and Hawaiian Monk seals.

Turtle Arches offers a pristine coral reef system nestled at the base of Pu’u Olai (Red Hill) near Makena State Park. The caverns and ledges in the coral and lava create the perfect habitat for sponges, corals, octopus, fish, eels, and shrimp. The highlight of this reef is the number of Green Sea Turtles that call this area home.

Our sailing craft is revered as the widest and sturdiest on the island, promising a relaxing journey for all. We aspire for excellence in our provision of premier equipment, cuisine, beverages, and customer interaction.

We offer snorkeling demonstrations to all, irrespective of their skill level. The cost of your charter encompasses a complete array of snorkeling and flotation devices, like high-end silicon masks, snorkels and fins, boogie boards, flotation belts, water noodles, wetsuit tops, optical masks, and large, comfy beach towels. Once your delightful snorkeling escapade concludes, you can indulge in a soothing ‘rinse-off’ shower in one of our four warm fresh-water showers.

In order to access the vessel, you will need to walk down a pier and step across a gap onto the deck. Crew will be able to assist with the gap.

The MUST GO TO EXCURSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - This is not a $259 snorkeling tour it is a $559 snorkeling tour. You check in, go inside the cabin and BREAKFAST IS SERVED! Then you motor out to Molokini crater to some EXCELLENT snorkeling and see a multitude of fish. Then a snack is served. You then motor over to the turtle sight, they find turtles for you and l watched one come up for air, and floated above him when he suddenly came back up and was in 5 feet of me for about 2 minutes. lt was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Then when you come back on board lunch (which should be called DINNER) was served (salad, vegetables, rice, and GREAT TASTING chicken) PLUS mimosas, wine, and hard seltzer in cans. There were 7 crew on board- Brie was the captain and the rest of the crew were EVERYWHERE making sure you had what you needed and wanted. NOTE- my wife is unable to snorkel so they told her to sit on the steps to put her feet into the water and in a few minutes gave her a yellow life ring and a noodle and she tapped me on the shoulder smiling. If you haven't figured this out by now THIS is the VERY BEST outing you can take on Maui and the VERY BEST COMPANY. I high encourage you to NOT MISS IT!!!!!!! P.S. the Haleakala Sunrise, and the Hana Highway are hard drives and I won't do them again. Alii Nui- I will do them all when I come back. THAT'S HOW GOOD IT IS!
