About Molokini Islet
Molokini is considered one of Hawaii's premier snorkel and dive locations, and with visibility up to 150 feet it is often rated among the top 10 dives spots in the world. Molokini is a crescent moon-shaped islet located less than three miles off Maui's southern coast and rising 160 feet above sea level.The rocky crater has a diameter of about one-half mile and acts as a shield to provide protection from strong waves and currents.
Molokini is great for novice, intermediate and expert SCUBA divers. The protected crater basin is only 35 feet deep, making it ideal for certified divers and snorkelers.
Intermediate-level divers can head to the underwater wall area that sinks to 70 feet, while expert divers can enjoy the sights within the back side of the crater, which has a depth of 350 feet (Trilogy's Molokini tour does not take divers to the back wall).
No matter what part of Molokini's undersea world you choose to explore, you'll encounter crystal-clear waters and schools of colorful fish. Molokini is home to about 250 fish species, including surgeon fish, tangs, parrot fish, and Moorish idols as well as lots of other marine life.
