Molokini, located 2.5 miles off Maui’s southern coast, is a world-renowned snorkeling and diving site. This crescent-shaped extinct volcano, now a State Marine Life and Bird Conservation District, offers calm waters ideal for exploration. Snorkelers can enjoy a lush reef with visibility up to 150 feet, while scuba divers can explore its back wall dropping to 300 feet. Most tours to Molokini depart from Ma’alaea Harbor or Kihei Boat Ramp, with mornings offering the best conditions.
