What you can expect

Try out the ocean waters at 2 spectacular locations along south Maui on a scenic morning cruise. Visit Molokini Crater and the Turtle Arches to explore the undersea world and see how the spectacular coastal scenery hosts another incredible array of sights below the surface.

Your boat leaves Maalaea Harbour later than many of the other craft, but its speed more than makes up for that. Cruising along at a brisk 20 knots (37 km/h), you'll be one of the first to arrive at Molokini Crater, a crescent-shaped island formed by a volcanic cinder cone and home to some of the best waters around.

Enjoy a delicious continental breakfast while your boat is underway and keep an eye out for Maui's acrobatic spinner and bottle-nose dolphins, which love to ride on the boats' wake. Once you arrive at Molokini, your instructor shows you how to use your equipment and goes over some essential safety points before its time to head into the water.

After Molokini, it's on to Turtle Arches or Coral Gardens where many of the local green sea turtles are used to snorkellers and divers and will come right up to you. After you've finished your time in the water, enjoy a great deli-style lunch with a wide assortment of sandwich fixings on board, and enjoy a cold drink on your way back home.

10/10 recommend! Best snorkeling cruise yet. The Captain and crew were very professional but also personable/knowledgeable. They were out in the water with us naming the fish and telling us about some history of the area. Aqua Adventure is great for beginners and experts.

The crew went above and beyond to make sure we got to see whales going to the different snorkel spots while still managing time to ensure we had plenty for snorkeling as well. They even found an octopus that we each got to hold and take underwater pictures with. Less than 20 passengers on the boat made for a relaxing cruise. Small family business with a great vibe, would definitely book these guys again.

We had the best time snorkeling with Aqua Adventures and crew. They really made us feel comfortable and you could tell they loved what they do. I enjoyed the smaller group size and willingness to stop when whales were spotted. Both snorkeling spots were amazing! I was living out my best Nemo dreams. Would 100% recommend!

This was a fantastic adventure. The snorkeling was fabulous. We saw plenty of cool fish, a small octopus, and the majestic sea turtles. As a bonus, we saw multiple whales including a mother with her baby. The crew was very friendly and knowledgeable. This is a must do activity when in Maui!

Our family loved every minute of this trip. The staff was amazing and really catered to all guests. They offered prescription goggles to my husband which allowed him to for the first time actually see while he was snorkeling. The whole staff pitched in and helped and all had a wonderful sense of humor. 10/10 best snorkeling adventure we have been on.

We would highly recommend this company. The captain was very concerned for our safety. Two staff on the boat and two in the water checking in snorkelers while in the water. I felt very safe and would recommend people with children. Staff was awesome, and made everyone feel like family was aboard. The breakfast and lunch was very good. We had a wonderful time and would take this trip again.
