What Does a Molokini Snorkel Trip Cost, and What Is Included?
Updated October 12, 2026 · 5 min read
A Molokini snorkel trip from Maʻalaea costs between €87.82 and €179.25 per person, and the gap mostly reflects hours and food. For most people the Molokini and Turtle Town trip with a meal at €140.55 is the fair-value pick; the cheapest option is an afternoon trip where the crater is not guaranteed.

This is the only trip in the group with an afternoon departure, and the listing says the captain picks the snorkel site by ocean conditions: Coral Gardens or Molokini. Snorkel gear, flotation devices and a hot dog lunch are included. Alcohol is sold on board, and wetsuits and underwater cameras are rented separately.

The €140.55 to €174.11 middle: where the money goes
The trip with a meal includes a catamaran cruise, a continental breakfast of pastries, muffins and fruit, a deli lunch, unlimited soft drinks and snorkel equipment. The Molokini Snorkeling Adventure aboard the Calypso, priced higher, adds a hot breakfast of scrambled eggs and sausage, two water slides, a jumping platform and a glass-bottom viewing area on a triple-deck boat.

The eco-friendly tour is the one to pay extra for if you want identification help: certified marine naturalists, snorkel instruction, a junior naturalist programme for children and a grilled lunch are part of the listing.
The €179.25 sail
The most expensive trip is also the best rated, at 4.8 from 247 reviews. It is a fast sailing catamaran rather than a cruiser, with a continental breakfast and buffet lunch. The listing states that wetsuits and towels are not included, children sail at half price and the charter is currently bring-your-own for alcohol.

Extras to budget for
The listed price rarely closes the bill. Alcohol is paid separately on several of these trips, and wetsuits and cameras are rental items. Towels, parking at the harbour and crew tips are handled differently from operator to operator, so check the page of the trip you pick.
Our recommendation
Book the Molokini and Turtle Town trip with a meal unless you have a reason not to: it covers both stops, both meals and the largest review base. Take the afternoon trip only if the price is decisive and you accept that you may swim at Coral Gardens.
