A quick and easy way to visit the island of Molokini and see the turtles of the coastline of Makena is to leave from the Kihei boat ramp on the 39' aluminum hulled S.A.F.E boat (Secured Around Flotation Equipment). The Sea Fire takes out small groups of as small as six persons and as large as twenty-one. This assures a personalized experience and lots of interaction with the captain and those on board. Molokini will be the first snorkel destination and the second will be determined by the weather and sea conditions of the day but will usually be to some place in Makena, Five Graves or even La Perouse Bay. This tour will be three hours in length. The Sea Fire also has an abbreviated tour that only goes to Molokini and runs for just two hours.
If you are coming to Maui on a cruise ship then you need to make sure you browse our Maui cruise ship category before you make any reservations for activities during shore leave.
Molokini Island Crater is actually the tip of an extinct volcano, barely peeking above the ocean surface between Maui and Kahoolawe. Visibility is often 150 feet, tropical fish are everywhere, and its sheer cliffs and rugged beauty are often the focus of professional photographers.
There's a reason people love snorkeling on Maui. The ocean waters surrounding Maui and its neighbor islands of Lanai and Molokini are comfortably warm, have great visibility (often in excess of 100 feet), and are teeming with beautiful coral formations and colorful tropical fish.
Surfing was a sport of the ancient Hawaiians and is even more popular in Maui today. Maui's abundant coastline offers big waves for surfing veterans and surfing spots suitable for beginners.
