Offshore Island
Located 2 ½ miles off Maui's south coast, Molokini is an
extinct volcano that is now designated as a State Marine
Life and Bird Conservation District. Its crescent shape
acts as a fortress that provides protection from waves and
powerful currents making this area one of the top ten dive
sites in the world.

Molokini's back wall sharply drops off to depths of
300 feet. In the center is a lush reef area with excellent
viewing up to 150 feet. The pristine waters are home to
about 250 species of fish - some of which are found nowhere
else on earth. Boat tours leave for Molokini from Ma'alaea
Harbor or Kihei Boat Ramp. The best conditions for visiting
the Islet are early in the morning.
