For those seeking a relaxed, small-group adventure, the ‘Elua Luxury Molokini Snorkel Tour offers a 5-hour, early-morning journey to Maui’s most famous underwater sanctuary. Departing before the crowds, you’ll reach Molokini Crater at its calmest, where visibility often exceeds 100 feet. Here, you’ll glide over vibrant coral and schools of tropical fish. If conditions allow, the trip continues to Turtle Town, where Maui’s beloved honu (green sea turtles) make their home.
The ‘Elua catamaran is designed for comfort, featuring air-conditioned lounges, cushioned seating, freshwater showers, and large restrooms. With fewer guests on board, you’ll have plenty of room to stretch out and soak in the island views. Safety is always a priority: certified lifeguards provide in-water support, and your crew leads friendly briefings on snorkeling, reef etiquette, and ocean safety.
What sets ‘Elua apart are the thoughtful touches—like a built-in chilled water dispenser to eliminate single-use plastics, fuel-efficient engines that reduce emissions, and griddle-style cooking that minimizes smoke and seabird impact. You’ll feel good knowing your adventure is both indulgent and ocean-kind.
Fuel your day with a fresh breakfast upon departure and a gourmet lunch mid-trip, featuring hot entrees and local flavors. After snorkeling, unwind with selections from the open bar, including beer, wine, cocktails, and refreshing non-alcoholic options. All premium snorkel gear (adult and child sizes) is provided, with flotation devices available for added comfort.
Whether you’re a first-time snorkeler or a confident swimmer, the crew’s warm guidance and the intimate setting make this tour unforgettable. Escape the crowds, indulge in gourmet hospitality, and discover the best of Maui’s underwater world on the ‘Elua Luxury Molokini Snorkel Tour.
