Molokini Crater – Maui Hawaii

Located 3 miles off Maui’s rugged Makena coast, lies the alluring, sunken volcanic crater of Molokini. Here the crystal-clear tropical waters are home to an array of fish and other unique species of marine life, including eels and octopus, which all seek shelter inside this beautiful crater. The actual island is also a protected nesting area for two distinct species of birds, the Petrels and Wedge-Tailed Shearwaters.

Fun Facts About Molokini Crater

Molokini is world-renowned for its exceptional water clarity with visibility up to 150 feet.
Molokini was created from an eruption that occurred approximately 230,000 years ago.
Molokini Crater is home to about 250 types of marine species.
There are 38 different types of hard coral species inside Molokini Crater.
The island is home to at least 2 different species of nesting seabirds.
Molokini is a Marine Life Conservation District and the island is a Hawaii State Seabird Sanctuary.
Molokini’s literal translation means “many ties”.

Molokini’s Unique History

This volcanic crater formed some 230,000 years ago. What you see today is the remains of a giant center cone that rose above the surface. Many cones never break the surface of the water, thus adding to the distinctiveness of Molokini Crater. Water erosion and sinking over time have created the familiar crescent-shaped landmark we know and love today. History shows this was a fishing ground for ancient Hawaiians. Today, Molokini Crater is a carefully protected Marine Life Conservation District and is declared a Hawaii State Seabird Sanctuary.

The Hawaiian Legend of Molokini

The fire goddess, Pele, was in love with a prince (who also happened to be a gecko or Mo’o.) The prince fell in love with another woman, and in her fury, Pele took her revenge, by cutting the woman in half. The head of the body became Pu’u Olai, which is the cinder cone mound on the north end of Makena Beach (Big Beach.) The body fell into the ocean and became Molokini Crater.

Whichever explanation you choose to embrace, Molokini remains at the top of the list of “must-see” destinations on Maui. The snorkeling at Molokini Crater is some of the best in all of Hawaii and has been continuously voted as a top snorkel site. The backside of the crater is considered one of the 10 best dive spots in the world.

Maui Magic encourages the use of Reef Safe Sunscreen (also offered onboard all our vessels) and we kindly ask you to not touch marine life, as it can be damaging to the fragile coral and ecosystem.

In addition to snorkeling, the Maui Magic Adventure Snorkel tour also includes opportunities for fun and adventure. You can take a thrilling ride down the onboard waterslide or simply relax on the spacious deck while soaking up the Hawaiian sun. A delicious lunch is also provided during the tour, allowing you to refuel and enjoy a satisfying meal while taking in the stunning surroundings. From local delicacies to refreshing beverages, the catering ensures that you have all you need for a memorable experience. Overall, the Maui Magic Adventure Snorkel tour offers a unique and exhilarating way to explore the underwater wonders of Maui. With its stunning coral reefs, abundant marine life, and experienced crew, it is a must-do activity for anyone seeking an unforgettable adventure in this tropical paradise..

1. Samantha - 1 star

I had high hopes for the "Maui Magic Adventure Snorkel", but unfortunately, it did not live up to my expectations. The boat was unreasonably crowded, and it felt like there were too many people on board. The snorkeling spots we went to were overcrowded as well, which made it difficult to enjoy the experience fully. The crew seemed overwhelmed and were not able to provide much guidance or assistance. Overall, I was disappointed with the lackluster experience and would not recommend it to others.

2. John - 2 stars

I had mixed feelings about the "Maui Magic Adventure Snorkel" experience. While the boat ride itself was enjoyable and the crew was friendly, the snorkeling aspect was a letdown. The snorkeling spots we visited were not as vibrant as I had hoped, and the visibility was poor, making it hard to see any marine life. Additionally, the snorkeling gear provided was not in the best condition, and it affected the overall experience. I was expecting a magical adventure, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations.

I was disappointed with the "Maui Magic Adventure Snorkel" tour. The boat ride was choppy, and I felt sea-sick for most of the trip, which took away from my enjoyment. The snorkeling spots we visited were average at best, and the coral reefs were not as impressive as I had anticipated. Moreover, the crew seemed uninterested and did not provide much information or assistance during the snorkeling session. Overall, I was underwhelmed by this experience and would not recommend it to others looking for a memorable snorkeling adventure in Maui.
