Tour Overview
Each adventure carries no more than 38 guests on Ocean Explorer, a 54 ft. single deck catamaran with open seating and unimpeded views. Snorkel the iconic volcanic crater and its beautiful reef known for crystal clear waters, abundant coral, colorful fish, and resting seabirds. A flexible itinerary includes visiting a second snorkel location, determined by our expert crew based on conditions of the day (like Turtle Arches, Puʻu Olai or the rarely visited back-side of Molokini!) as well as cruising along Maui’s coastline. Continental breakfast is included and a delicious BBQ lunch is prepared onboard. Get an inside look into this exciting tour HERE
