Molokini and Turtle Arches Snorkel (Ma'alea Harbor)
The Molokini & Turtle Arches Snorkel tour is one of the best ways to explore two of Maui’s top underwater spots! You start the tour by heading to Molokini, a crescent-shaped volcanic crater famous for its crystal-clear waters, colorful coral, and diverse marine life.
Since it’s a protected area, you will need a certified tour operator to get there. After that, you visit Turtle Arches, where you will mostly spot friendly green sea turtles and explore cool underwater lava formations. You will be provided with the gear and a snorkel class, if needed, for beginners. You also get to devour a continental breakfast and BBQ lunch onboard!

Low-soled shoes are a must, so leave the heels back home!
Carry a towel for drying off after the swim.
Bring a credit card for onboard purchases since our boats are cashless.

Remember to hold onto the railings for your safety and watch your step when getting off and on the boat.
Standing on benches or chairs and sitting on railings, tables, or chair backs is not permitted.
No smoking or vaping on the boat.

Cancellation and Alcohol Policy
72-Hour Cancellation Policy
If you cancel 72 hours or more in advance, you’ll receive a full refund. If we cancel due to unprecedented weather conditions or other issues, you’ll receive a full refund. However, if you cancel late or don’t show up, you will be charged full price.
There are no cancellations or refunds for same-day bookings. If you’re sick and need to cancel, we’ll need a note from a local doctor to issue a refund.
Alcohol Policy
We want everyone to have fun, but we keep it responsible—three drinks per adult (21+) on cruises where alcohol is served. On snorkel cruises, alcohol is served after snorkeling is done. Don’t forget to bring your ID if you want to drink!
Other Information
Pacific Whale Foundation is committed to protecting Maui’s reefs and oceans. Hence, we recommend using protective clothing and reef-safe sunscreen—just make sure to check the ingredients since the “reef-safe” label isn’t always true.
Since November 2019, we’ve banned sunscreens with oxybenzone and octinoxate on their boats. We recommend non-nano zinc oxide, which you can find at our Ocean Store. We also don’t allow full-face snorkel masks on our eco-tours.
Thanks for helping our oceans!
