Molokini Eco-Express Morning Snorkel Cruise in Maalaea, Maui

The Molokini Eco-Express Tour, offered Tuesdays - Saturdays, is the most economical, eco-friendly morning cruise to Molokini! Because this cruise departs at 9:00 a.m., you get to sleep later (isn’t that what vacations are all about?) Plus, you’re back in just 3.5 hours, so you can schedule other activities during your day, to maximize your vacation fun on Maui.

The Molokini Eco-Express departs from conveniently located Ma’alaea Harbor and cruises directly to Molokini Marine Preserve. We provide all the snorkel gear, including sanitized masks and snorkels, fins, optical masks (for eyeglass wearers), swim noodles and other flotation devices, plus free “reef-safe” SPF 30 sunscreen. There’s even a "Learn to Snorkel" class for beginners!

You’ll enjoy a relaxed hour of snorkeling at Molokini, including a free guided reef tour by our Certified Marine Naturalists, who point out some of Molokini’s most fascinating fish and marine wildlife to you. Once you’ve worked up a bit of an appetite, there’s a deli-lunch, including homemade rolls, a variety of freshly sliced deli meats and cheeses with all of the fixings for a great sandwich, pasta salad and cookies. Throughout the cruise, there are lots of ice-cold refreshments, including soda, a variety of juices and filtered water. (Cocktail, beer and Mai Tais are available for purchase with proper ID).
