Visit the moon-shaped Molokini Crater

The Molokini Crater, a tiny islet that resembles a crescent moon, is a well-liked natural attraction for both photographers and outdoor adventurers. Despite being uninhabited, it is a popular spot for snorkeling, jet skiing, and scuba diving, and there are both short and long-day cruises that can be taken there (the majority of which leave from Maalaea Harbor).

Molokini has dive sites for beginning, intermediate, and advanced SCUBA divers. For instance, the crater basin is perfect for novice divers and snorkelers since it offers protected waters and is just 35 feet deep. Meanwhile, intermediate divers can visit the region of the underwater wall that sinks to 70 feet. Additionally, the 350-foot-deep backside of the crater offers spectacular views for experienced divers.

You will come across schools of colorful fish and crystal-clear seas wherever you go in Molokini's underwater realm. Around 250 different fish species, including surgeonfish, tangs, parrotfish, Moorish idols, and more, may be found in Molokini.
