Looking for a Molokini tour with waterslide that’s perfect for kids? 🌊 You’ve found it! The Lani Kai II is Maui’s most family-friendly snorkeling vessel — combining adventure, comfort, and a big splash of fun. Whether your family loves ocean life, sea turtles, or simply sliding into paradise, this is one of the best Molokini tours for kids and a memory you’ll be talking about long after vacation ends!
Why the Lani Kai II is Perfect for Families
A Boat Designed with Families in Mind
The Lani Kai II stands out from other Maui snorkel tours because it was built with families in mind. The boat is wide, steady, and loaded with kid-approved features — from shaded seating to clean restrooms and easy-access stairs for getting in and out of the water.
Parents love the roomy deck and safety-first crew, and kids love… well, everything — especially the giant 25-ft waterslide that makes this one of the most exciting family snorkeling Maui experiences available.
The Waterslide: Endless Fun at Sea
Let’s talk about the highlight of the day — the waterslide! This is what transforms a regular boat ride into an unforgettable family adventure. Kids can zip down the slide and splash into the warm, blue ocean while parents watch (or join the fun!).
The waterslide isn’t used at Molokini Crater to follow guidelines, but don’t worry — it’s available at the second snorkel stop, typically Turtle Town or Coral Gardens, where the waters are calm and perfect for playtime. That’s what makes the Lani Kai II the best Molokini tour for kids who love to make a splash!
Molokini Crater: A Natural Aquarium for Snorkelers
An Iconic Snorkeling Destination
No family trip to Maui is complete without visiting Molokini Crater, one of Hawaii’s most famous snorkel sites. This crescent-shaped volcanic crater is a Marine Life Conservation District, meaning the water is calm, clear, and full of life.
Visibility often reaches 150 feet, giving even first-time snorkelers a crystal-clear view of colorful coral reefs and over 250 species of tropical fish.
What You’ll See Underwater
Families will likely spot:
- Bright parrotfish, butterflyfish, and triggerfish
- Graceful Hawaiian green sea turtles
- Vibrant coral reefs and hidden sea caves
- Schools of tropical fish unique to Maui’s ecosystem
It’s like swimming in a living postcard — and the friendly crew is always nearby to help beginner snorkelers feel confident in the water.
Turtle Town or Coral Gardens: Calm Waters and Family Fun
If weather or ocean conditions shift, the Lani Kai II adapts easily. Your captain will choose the best alternate snorkel spot — often Turtle Town or Coral Gardens, two of Maui’s most family-friendly snorkeling spots.
These protected areas feature calmer waves and shallow coral reefs where kids can safely snorkel and explore. And here’s where the waterslide comes out again — guaranteed giggles and splashy memories for all ages!
If you’re looking for the best Molokini tour for kids that also lets them enjoy the waterslide, this experience delivers both adventure and peace of mind.
All-Inclusive Maui Snorkel Tour Experience

- Continental breakfast with pastries, fruit, and coffee ☕
- Sandwich and pasta lunch fresh on board 🍔
