Malolo (Frogman) Charters – Afternoon Coral Gardens Snorkel

Malolo Charters has been snorkeling Coral Gardens longer than any other charter boat on Maui. You will find that Coral Gardens is just as good of a snorkeling site as Molokini. The afternoon snorkel is a shorter snorkel trip than the morning tours, but still has a lot of great things to see in the water. Malolo Charters only takes twenty minutes or so to get to Coral Gardens from Maalaea Harbor where this tour departs from, so you’ll have plenty of time to snorkel.  Coral Gardens is not used nearly as heavily as Molokini and the reefs are still vibrant, alive and teeming with marine life.

Coral Gardens became a snorkel destination because of the trade winds that flow out to Molokini. If you have ever noticed the calmest time on Maui is the morning. The trades are light and the seas usually calm. After trying to motor out to Molokini with guests and suffering through rough seas, someone thought there must be a better snorkel location in the afternoon for our guests. It was at that time Coral Gardens as a snorkel site was born. Since then Coral Gardens has become a sought-after snorkel site among visitors who are looking for something a little different and Frogman Charters does a great job of making sure you have everything you need.
