Some take over an hour to reach what takes us less than 15 minutes, thanks to our exclusive launching point at Makena Beach. Warning: If dolphins or whales are in the area it may take longer to get there -- around here it’s only neighborly to stop and say hello to the marine life. 

Kai Kanani offers an early morning snorkeling tour to Molokini (Molokini Express Snorkel Tour) as well as a mid-morning departure Molokini tour (Molokini Deluxe Snorkel Tour). There’s nothing like the experience of sailing on a beautiful catamaran enjoying an incredible Hawaiian sunset, locally prepared pupus and cocktails. Join us on one of our Maui sunset cruises.
