Maui Snorkel Tours Aqua Adventures Maui snuba & snorkel trip leaves from south Maui's Maalaea Harbor at 7:15am. This is later than many of the other boats, but that doesn't matter. Aqua Adventure is FAST! In fact, she is so fast, we'll be one of the first ones to Molokini Crater – a crescentshaped island formed by a volcanic cinder cone, located off the south Maui coast. This gives us the opportunity to select the best location for your Snorkel/SNUBA adventure! Of course, that could change if we spend a little time for a close encounter of the “whale kind” along the way! molokini 200x150Whalewatching is included on all trips during whale season (December - April). On route to Molokini Crater youll enjoy a delicious continental breakfast of fresh island fruit, pastries, bagels with cream cheese and jelly, coffee and juice. Keep your eyes open for Maui's acrobatic spinner and bottlenose dolphins along the way. They love to "bow ride" on the boats wake and pressure wave as we cruise along at a brisk 20 knots. Once at Molokini, your instructor will show you how to use your equipment, and go over some essential safety points, then it's into the water! After Molokini, it's on to "Turtle Arches", located off the Makena Coast. Many of these green sea turtles are used to snorkelers and divers and will approach quite close! However you are not permitted to touch or "ride" the turtles as they're one of Hawaiis protected marine species.
After you're done snorkeling and diving with the turtles, a great deli-style lunch with a wide assortment of sandwich fixins will be waiting on board. On the ride back home, enjoy a cold beer, Maui Tai or Rum & Coke! We return to Maalaea Harbor at 12:00 noon. If you want to avoid the crowds and get TRUE personalized service, then join Aqua Adventure for the Maui snorkeling and snuba experience of a lifetime! On Aqua Adventures, your family becomes part of ours! Aqua Adventures specializes in small, private group charters, wedding parties, and family get-togethers. Our Boat The Aqua Adventure is a 2003 model twin engine high speed vessel. She is powered by two 350 horse Cummins diesels that push her along at 22 knots. There is an upper sun deck, lower shaded deck as well as a walk around cabin that gives you access to the bow. That bow area comes in real handy for those close encounters with the local residents, the Hawaiian Spinner and Bottlenose Dolphins. There is plenty of seating. We are certified to carry 49 passengers but take no more than 40 to insure more than enough room for everyone. The swimstep area is as user friendly as it gets, with two stair-like ladders for easy access in and out of the water. There are two fresh water showers to rinse the salt off after you are done playing in the water for the day. We use a mix of eco-friendly bio-diesel to help cut down on those pesky fumes as well as helping our environment.
