This tour departs from Ma’alaea Harbor, about 15 minutes north of Kihei, and includes everything you need for a great time, just wear your swimsuit and bring a towel! They’ll provide your snorkel gear and fins (you’re welcome to bring your own, but no full face masks), flotation devices, and reef-safe sunscreen.

Molokini Crater Snorkel & Sail FAQ

How do I apply the discount code?

There are two places to enter the discount code at checkout: in the individual ticket boxes where you select dietary preferences and closer to the payment details. The code does not work in the individual boxes; you’ll want to enter it in the second box. See the images below:

Our promo code changes quarterly, so if the code isn’t working in the Promotional Codes box just above the payment method, reach out and we’ll get the code updated!

Is there anything else I should bring?

A hat, sunglasses, camera, and reusable water bottle are at the top of our list, and during the winter months, you may want to bring a light jacket.

Can they accommodate dietary restrictions?

They can provide vegetarian or gluten-free options through their catering companies, although people with severe nut allergies or who have celiac disease should be aware that they cannot guarantee there has been no cross-contamination.

Why are full face masks not permitted?

They interfere with your ability to communicate with the crew, they leak or fog up, and have been known to restrict breathing.

Know Before You Go Snorkel Safety

Swimming and snorkeling in the Pacific Ocean should not be taken lightly. To keep you safe, please know your health limits, swim with a buddy, never turn your back on the ocean, and read and obey posted signs. Check HIOceanSafety.com for ocean conditions at lifeguard beaches.

What is the cancellation policy?

Cancellations made more than 24 hours prior to departure (HST) are eligible for a full refund. In the event of an operator cancellation, you’ll receive a full refund or the option to reschedule to another date.
