About Calypso Charters - Molokini Crater & Turtle Town Snorkel Adventure
Snorkel Maui with Calypso Charters on a Molokini Crater and Turtle Town adventure featuring clear-water snorkeling, reef life, snorkel gear and ocean views.
Head out along the South Maui coastline aboard Calypso, Maui's brand new power catamaran, for a full morning of snorkeling at two of the island's most popular underwater destinations. The first stop is Molokini, a small volcanic islet just off Maui's south shore and one of the best snorkel and dive sites in Hawaii.
The adventure continues at Turtle Town, where Hawaiian green sea turtles are often seen resting and swimming through the clear coastal waters. With 1.5 hours planned at each snorkel site, weather permitting, there is plenty of time to explore beneath the surface, relax on board and capture memorable photos throughout the day.

Equipment
The Calypso is a spacious, 149 passenger power catamaran designed by Incat Crowther in Australia and built by Navatek on the Island of Oahu. Some of the Calypso's most exciting features include two waterslides, including a "bow" water slide with an exciting drop, a jump platform on the third deck (known as the "leap of faith"), two freshwater showers, three restrooms (including an ADA accessible restroom), and "soft deck" flooring throughout all decks, which is easy on the feet.
There are 11 individual dive steps, each with its own hand rail for safe and convenient exit and entry into the water. The rear dive step is lowered into the water for ease of access. The Calypso features 4,000 square feet of comfortable and covered passenger seating spread throughout three separate decks. The vessel also has a dedicated glass bottom viewing room with passenger seating and large glass bottom viewing windows.
