What To Expect
Molokini Crater
Skip over the waves on a comfortable and speedy military-inspired, eco-friendly raft to the Molokini Crater, where you will snorkel with tropical fish, rays and various other wildlife. As the first boat to arrive at the crater, the waters will be uncrowded. Here, you'll also enjoy a delicious continental breakfast. Water visibility at this prime diving and snorkeling spot often reaches 180 feet (55 meters)! If you need a break, relax on the boat’s comfy pontoons and soak up the sun. After snorkeling in the crater, head to the backside of Molokini Crater, a place many people rarely see, for another snorkeling experience.
Keawakapu Beach
On your way to your final snorkeling destination, 'Turtle Town,' hug the Maui coastline and view the island’s most recent lava flow on the way to beautiful La Perouse Bay. The bay is a natural habitat for the Hawaiian spinner dolphin, so keep a look out and get your camera ready!

Great time snorkling Molikini and more

5.00Our family had an awesome time. We had snorkled Molokini before, with a large tour group, and the Redline Rafting experience was so much better for us. We spent more time in the water, soaking in the myriad fish, turtles, and a few whales that we happened across, and less time waiting around. Matty and Nick made sure everyone on board was well taken care of, and most importantly, made it back to shore safely and with smiles on our faces.
Super fun snorkeling trip!

5.00My partner and teens participated in the 5 hour Molokini tour and had the best time! Captain Chase crew were chill and fun. We arrived into Maui shortly after the big March 2026 rainstorms and were so thankful to get in the water and see some amazing fish. We were all so glad that we chose Redline for the smaller group sizes and access to the backside of the crater.
Poor business ethics.

1.00Very unprofessional. When we booked the tour they messaged right away to change the date, when we told them that we do not have date flexibility they accepted our booking and then a night before just canceled abruptly. They said conditions were bad but other boats are traveling. Completely ruined our plans. They could have easily canceled at least 24 hours prior and given us a chance to rebook with somebody else. It looks like they did not want to do this from the very beginning and kept leading us on until the very last minute and then canceled. Poor business ethics.
Friendly and fun tour

5.00This tour was amazing! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a well organized and friendly tour group! Our crew was awesome and so knowledgable about everything we came across as well as the history of Maui which was very cool to learn more about! They really let us explore each of the snorkel spots thoroughly which was amazing, we never felt rushed. Definitely money and time well spent doing the morning tour with them! We also got to see a whale breach right in front of us which was a once in a lifetime experience that we'll never forget.
Great guides, knowledgeable, professional, clean boat, overall best snorkeling guides we have ever had.

5.00Great guides! Jordan and Jamie were the best guides we have had on any snorkeling trip. We saw several turtles at the first stop and heard the whales singing the whole time.
Great trip!

5.00This was a GREAT experience. So glad we opted for the half day trip - in addition to the Molokini snorkeling, we were able to visit the backside of Molokini and learn more about the WWII impacts to the crater. The second snorkeling location was our favorite and the teenagers had a “National Geographic” moment with a sea turtle. Definitely a core memory experience from our trip. Our guide Jordan amazingly learned the names of all 20 people on the boat and Redline Rafting is a quality operator. So fun!!!
Great snorkeling experience

Redline Rafting Offshore Adventures - swim, snorkel & whale encounters

5.00A fun and very professional charter to Molokini Crater (front and back) to snorkel the beautiful blue water, then over to select snorkel spots from Makena up to Kihei, with lots of whale action in between our snorkel spots. Capt. & crew were great, snacks were provided, and both avid and beginners were accommodated. I recommend Redline Rafting for your next offshore adventure.
