Molokini is an extinct volcanic cone and the snorkeling visibility is usually 100 feet or more! Many different species of marine life live within Molokini. Green sea turtles, fish, urchins, harmless sharks, manta rays and coral surrounded by crystal clear water all year around make Molokini Crater snorkeling a must-do on your vacation activity list. This boat tour is on all tourist must-see lists, and it’s one of Maui’s best activities. Snorkeling at Molokini Crater is also one of Maui’s most family-friendly activities.
