Note: Public tour pricing shown is adult pricing. Private charters are priced per boat and start at $4,800. Morning Molokini Crater Snorkeling Tours are usually the best fit for guests who want the full crater experience, while afternoon tours are a strong choice for a shorter, easier snorkeling day.
Book the morning Molokini Crater Snorkeling Tour. It is the strongest fit for guests who want the crater experience, a longer trip, and a second snorkel stop.
Book the Maui Afternoon Snorkeling Tour. It is a more relaxed three-hour option and can be a better match for kids, lighter schedules, and guests who prefer less time in the water.
The afternoon tour is often the more flexible public-tour option because morning trips tend to be in higher demand. It is a smart place to check when plans come together closer to your travel date.
Choose a private charter. It keeps your group together, gives the day a more personal feel, and works well for celebrations, larger families, and company outings.
