- Molokini - A tour with the Calypso is one of the most fun on Maui! This stable, high-speed, triple-decker catamaran will get you to two snorkel sites fast: Molokini Crater and Turtle Town, and with all the equipment you need and plenty of food on board, what more could you ask for?
The Calypso leaves from Ma’alaea Harbor, and after you are welcomed aboard by your friendly crew, you can take a look at the delicious continental breakfast. After everyone is settled in, it’s off to the most popular underwater destination in Maui for some Molokini snorkeling! While you are enjoying the feel of the ocean wind in your hair.
Molokini Crater is located between the islands of Maui and Kaho’olawe. This beautiful site is not only home to several fish species, but many species of birds, as well! The crater is a designated Marine Life Conservation District and bird preserve, so no fishing or climbing on the crater is allowed, but wearing flippers and a mask to watch the fish is perfectly wonderful.
After your Molokini snorkeling, Calypso will whisk you to Turtle Town – a second snorkeling spot. Off the south side of Maui, Turtle Town is home to several large sea turtles as well as dynamic reef fish.

Be captivated by the natural sights of Molokini Crater; a volcanic islet 3 miles (4.8 km) away from Maui coast, on this snorkeling expedition that sets off from Maalaea. Immerse yourself in clear, tropical aqua surroundings of this inactive cone which is a sanctuary for various marine organisms including fish, sea-urchins, sharks, manta rays, and corals. As a marine reserve, Molokini prohibits any disturbance, providing a pure and unspoiled island and underwater ecosystem. In addition, you will visit Turtle Town and gaze at the local bird population. If you don’t fancy snorkeling or wrap up early, you can use two water slides, a glass bottom viewing space, or take a ‘leap of faith’. The trip includes breakfast, lunch, light bites, soda, and juice.
