Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 464 reviews
The Malolo Molokini Snorkel Tour includes a stop at Maui's #1 snorkeling destination Molokini Crater, and also a stop at Turtle Town. Molokini is a Hawaii state marine life conservation district and bird sanctuary. Located 3 miles off the South shore of Kihei, rising out of 300 feet of water, Molokini is home to many different types of marine life. Tropical fish and animals like the Moorish Idol, Humuhumunukunukuapuaa, Rainbow Wrass, octopus, harmless reef sharks and beautiful coral formations make their home within this sheltered volcanic caldera. Crystal clear water, tropical birds, endemic marine life and this secluded environment make Molokini a unique experience in and out of the water. After leaving Molokini we head over to Turtle Town, where you get to swim with the Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles. After Turtle Town, passengers enjoy lunch and a fun and informative narrative by the Captain. A continental breakfast, lunch, snorkeling equipment and flotation devices are included.

Haycraft Park is located at end of a dead end road. There is limited parking. Don’t judge this place when you enter. I saw some trash that needed cleaning up and it could use some TLC there. There is a not so pleasant porta potty, but thank goodness it’s there. The little shower place to clean up was a welcome site. Now, this is a pretty rustic park meaning it’s a little wild and overgrown natural area. Nature, not condos is what you see. I visited three times and didn’t see many people especially since I moved farther down the beach. The water was pleasant to play in, not too rough. Actually found a couple shells. Best ever is I found trees on the beach where I could lay in the shade, read and look out over beautiful Maalaea Bay. I felt like I was on my own private Hawaiian island. The picture of the tree and bay in background is my happy place. If you go, I hope you discover what I found there.
