Pacific Whale Foundation: Molokini Wild Side
The Wild Side is Pacific Whale Foundation’s small-group Molokini trip for confident snorkelers. The single-deck 54-foot Ocean Explorer carries far fewer guests than it could, and after snorkeling inside Molokini it heads, conditions permitting, to the less-visited back side of the crater, then a second site such as Turtle Arches or Puʻu Ōlaʻi.
