Start your day with a delicious buffet breakfast prepared by a chef as you sail to Molokini Crater, a famous marine sanctuary that hosts over 400 species of tropical fish and vibrant coral reefs.
The adventure continues with a second snorkeling stop, selected daily for optimal conditions and marine life. During the summer, this often includes a visit to Turtle Town, where Hawaiian green sea turtles can be seen resting and swimming. In the winter, the tour may change course for whale watching, observing Maui’s migrating humpback whales. This is the Deluxe tour for a reason—it takes you to where the magic happens.
Enjoy Hawaiian mimosas, Aperol Spritz, and craft beers from Maui Brewing Co. as you take in the ocean breeze and stunning views. After a refreshing swim, savor a generous island-style buffet lunch served onboard.
To end the day, the sails are raised to catch the trade winds, providing an authentic open-ocean sailing experience before returning to the harbor.
- In order to access the vessel, you will need to walk down a pier and step across a gap onto the deck. Crew will be able to assist with the gap.

We had a great experience and will definitely recommend this company to our friends and family! - We had an amazing snorkeling tour on this yacht! The boat was very clean, not overcrowded, and had a relaxed, comfortable vibe. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful from start to finish. The location was easy to find, and parking was a breeze.
The food was delicious — we were constantly served tasty snacks and drinks throughout the trip. A refreshing wet towel at the end was a nice touch!
One thing that really stood out was how caring the staff were. My 13-year-old niece felt a little seasick during the tour, and one of the crew members took such great care of her. He gave her a peppermint towel to wrap around her neck, kept her company with jokes to distract her, and checked on her regularly to make sure she was okay. That level of kindness and attention is truly priceless.
We had a great experience and will definitely recommend this company to our friends and family!

Unforgettable life experience - This trip was excellent: professional and knowledgeable crew, next-level snorkeling destination, one-of-a-kind views of Maui and surrounding islands from a high-end boat. You get what you pay for...and this one was worth it.

Do the snorkeling trip and have the best day ever! - We did the upper level premium snorkel experience and I highly recommend it! Our day was fantastic with a fun and adventurous staff who really went out of their way to make it special! We saw whales, beautiful fish, etc , and we had a top knotch trip!
Note, We could not go to the second location for snorkeling due to water issues, so they gave us the option to stay and snorkel where we were or to sail. We all decided to sail and it was great!

Unforgettable Snorkeling & Whale Watching on the Alii Kai with Alii Nui Sailing Charters! - Our day with Alii Nui Sailing Charters aboard the Alii Kai was absolutely incredible and one of the best experiences we had in Maui! We did the Molokini Deluxe Snorkel Sail, and from the moment we stepped on board, everything was top-notch.
Captain Justin and deckhand Pedro were amazing—super friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about giving everyone a fantastic time. They made us feel welcomed, safe, and well taken care of the entire trip.
We opted for the Premium Top Deck Seating, and it was 100% worth the extra cost. The added comfort, personal service, and panoramic views made the experience feel luxurious and relaxing. Watching whales breach from the top deck was nothing short of magical!
The snorkeling at Molokini was just as amazing—crystal-clear water, vibrant marine life, and plenty of time to explore. The crew provided great gear and made sure everyone, from beginners to experienced snorkelers, had an enjoyable time in the water.
I highly recommend Alii Nui Sailing Charters and the Alii Kai—especially if you want a memorable, high-end ocean adventure. Don’t skip the top deck upgrade—you’ll thank yourself later!

The best boat by far!! You won’t regret it! - The best trip!! We have done multiple snorkels to Molokini over the years typically on the big boats that take hundreds of people. This smaller luxury trip was recommended by multiple locals and snorkel shops so we decided to try it and so glad we did! The food was fantastic, the crew was amazing and by far our favorite boating day ever! We will do this trip again over the other boats when we come back. Hot food, towels provided, nice snorkel gear and the perfect whale watching surprise on our way back! Not an overcrowded boat, just the perfect small group and lots of room for everyone on board to be comfortable and spread out!

Great 1/2 day trip - Great service. We upgraded to the top deck, and it was worth the extra money. The food and drinks were good. The guides were very helpful and patient. They did a good job explaining how to use the snorkeling gear. We had a hard time getting the parking app to work and the guide went out of his way to help us resolve the problem.

Just book it - If you’re on the fence about this tour just book it you won’t regret it! I traveled with a family of a mix of never snorkeled to somewhat experienced and they accommodate all levels no problem. Even the 10 year old who can’t swim had a blast! As we were drying off three whales swam by the boat showing off it was pretty cool. We saw so many turtles at the second location it was wild! The customer service is top notch, the food is fresh and there’s tons of it. They come around with fresh fruit and poke, tons of free drink options - I could go on and on but hands down a great experience for us and we will be booking with them in the future!
