FAQs
Yes. We provide sanitized masks, fins, and snorkels. Flotation devices such as vests and pool noodles are also available.
We would not recommend non-swimmers to join. Molokini Crater and Turtle Town are in deep waters; practice in a pool or on the beach first.
Most snorkeling takes place inside Molokini Crater where waters are calm; conditions permitting, some tours may explore the outer edge for advanced snorkelers.
