About Calypso Charters - Molokini Crater & Turtle Town Snorkel Adventure
Spend the morning on Maui’s south shore with two classic snorkel stops built into one trip. Aboard Calypso, you’ll head first toward Molokini, the crescent-shaped volcanic islet known for clear water and a dramatic setting just offshore.
From there, the day continues to Turtle Town, where Hawaiian green sea turtles are often seen moving through the reef or resting below the surface. When conditions cooperate, the tour allows about 1.5 hours at each location, giving you time to settle into the water instead of feeling rushed from one stop to the next.
Back on board, you can relax between snorkel sessions, rinse off under a freshwater shower and enjoy the ride along the South Maui coast while the crew takes care of the details.

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.
