Molokini is a crescent-shaped crater and marine preserve off Maui with over 250 species of tropical fish. Sail Maui sails the catamaran under the trade winds to Molokini, where you snorkel in the protected water inside the crater.
You sail on the Paragon II, with a continental breakfast on the leisurely sail across Māʻalaea Bay. During whale season (December to April), watch for humpback whales near the boat. At Molokini you swim and snorkel, and the boat has a freshwater shower for rinsing off. After snorkeling, the crew serves a freshly prepared lunch with drinks, including wine and local beer.
The afternoon trade winds pick up the boat’s speed, and you can take a turn at the helm with the Paragon crew.
