Molokini Crater snorkeling is a top thing to do when vacationing on Maui, but is it worth it? One can see amazing marine life with the shoreline snorkeling. But we did see dolphins…

We put off a trip to Molokini Crater for a year but when Pacific Whale Foundation opened for residents, we couldn’t resist going to Molokini Crater and Turtle Arches on a Pacific Whale Foundation tour.

We put off a trip to Molokini for snorkeling because we thought it wasn’t worth it. We love snorkeling on Maui and one can do great snorkeling for free from the shore. Why get a snorkeling boat to see turtles and fish?

After going, we realized a trip to Molokini Crater is more about the day out on the water. Be it a big boat tour, a sailboat, or a raft, it is a fun day on the ocean if that is what you are looking for in a #Maui or any island on #Hawaii vacation.

Recommendation on Snorkel Gear:
Before you rush out to buy snorkel gear, we recommend renting when on the islands. Save on luggage space by renting. There are a lot of great, local renting shops on all the islands. Prices range from $1.50 a day to $6 day. One can get discounted rates by renting for the week. With a local shop, you can make sure you get quality snorkel gear and they can fit the mask properly. Many resorts also provide snorkel gear!

If you are still eager to purchase, here are our favorite snorkel gear sets that are travelready and fit very well! They are wellpriced for the quality. https://thehawaiivacationguide.com/ha...
