10 Best Adventures in Maui: Hikes, Snorkeling & More | Condé Nast Traveler

"Whereas most Molokini Crater snorkel tours depart from Maalaea Harbor or farther up the coast, Redline departs from the marginally closer Kihei boat ramp, which means that with a 7 a.m. start time, you'll be among the first boats to arrive at the crater for the day. And before things start to get too hectic, the captain jets you off to the next locations along Maui's Forbidden Coast, the southern stretch of the island surrounding La Pérouse Bay. Over the course of the five-and-a-half hour tour, the crew drops you at a number of snorkel sites, including ancient lava flows and underwater grottos." - Todd Plummer
