It offers an unparalleled view of colorful coral reefs and an array of tropical fish. Don’t miss out on the best Molokini Snorkeling Tour on the island!

FAQ’s

DO I NEED TO HAVE EXPERIENCE SNORKELING?

Snorkeling experience is not necessary. You need to be comfortable in the water and should be able to swim without the aid of any equipment. Our crew will show you how to use the snorkel equipment. We have flotation devices, wetsuits, swimming noodles, and boogie boards available to keep swimmers comfortable during our excursions.

IS SNORKELING SAFE?
The Hawaii Health Department advises that “you need to be comfortable in the water and able to swim without the aid of any equipment”. Our buddy system requires weak but comfortable swimmers to pair up with a stronger swimmer from the same party. We have flotation devices, wetsuits, swimming noodles, and boogie boards available to make it easy to float and observe the wildlife.
