All Reviews for Molokini Crater Snorkel, Maui

Everyone involved in this excursion wa super helpful, thoughtful and accommodating. They put our anxieties o rat and provided great information nd fostered friendly md safe at,osphere for our snorkeling adventure. While some of the add ons, like a wet suit, for sure should be included we felt that it was worth every penny. We saw 10+ species of tropical fish and even got to the back side of the crater where the ocean is crystal clear and falls off into a blue abyss! It was a little scary for those of us that were not strong swimmers but they provided extra floatation for those who desired and stayed near by in case a quick exit was needed and a,so had at least 1 crew member for every 6 of us on the tour. Fear not and just do it.

We have been on a couple different Snorkeling trips, and I have to say that going on the Molokini Snorkeling trip with the Trilogy Team is the Very Best. Why??? The Dolphins that join the boat on the way to and from Molokini. The location that the Trilogy docks so you can see so many species of fish, eels and coral. The Fantastic Team and Captains, and the delicious food, drinks and ice cream sundae!!! It is well worth the cost. Try it once and you will understand how Awesome this trip is.

We could not have asked for a better experience in the water and on the boat. The crew was friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and patient. Would highly recommend booking with Trilogy to anyone going to Maui!

I think it can be summed up in one word: amazing. This time, I experienced multiple activities on the Big Island, Maui, and Oahu, but without a doubt, the most fun was this tour.

- I chose a plan that allowed me to experience both snorkeling and snuba. There were about 20 participants on the boat, and around 80% of them opted for this plan. The water clarity around Molokini Island was fantastic, and it would be a shame to just stick to snorkeling.
- I believe anyone can do snuba as long as they listen carefully to the pre-activity instructions.
- We were able to see whales a few times while on the boat heading to Molokini Island.
- The guide was wonderful, and their attentiveness and ability to energize the group were top-notch. Many of the other crew members were also a lot of fun.
- Since the guide was in English, it might be challenging for those who aren't proficient in English.
- The rental for a wetsuit is $10. Additionally, snorkeling and snuba at Turtle Town require an extra $50 payment. Both payments were made in cash after getting off the boat (definitely worth it).

最高の一言に尽きると思います。今回私はハワイ島→マウイ島→オアフ島の3か所で複数アクティビティを体験しましたが、間違いなく1番楽しかったのがこのツアーでした。

・シュノーケルとスヌーバの両方を体験可能なプランにしました。船内には20人程度の参加者がいましたが、8割程度がこのプランでした。モロキニ島水域の透明度は素晴らしく、シュノーケリングで終わらせるのはもったいないと思います
・スヌーバは事前の説明さえちゃんと聞いていれば誰でも出来ると思います
・モロキニ島に向かう船上でクジラも数回見ることができました
・ガイドさんがまた素晴らしく、気の配り方や盛り上げ方も最高でした。他のクルーも楽しい方が多かったです
・英語ガイドさんなので、英語がからっきしの方は難しいかも知れません
・ウェットスーツ貸し出しは10USDです。また、タートルタウンでのシュノーケリング・スヌーバは追加で50USD払う必要があります。いずれも船を降りた後に現金で支払いでした（支払う価値ありです）

10/10 highly recommend this tour! Best bang for your buck. Great staff and accommodations! Loved all the food and beverages as well as getting to know the captain and his crew. The snorkel gear and wetsuits were top notch, too. We will definitely do this again next time we visit.

Our family had an amazing time snorkeling and whale watching. The food was also very good and everyone had plenty to eat. Our favorite part was the wonderful crew. They were funny and kind and engaging and made us all feel super comfortable, mostly our 5 and 7 year old. This boat was great for kids and had a few options for them to be able to see the underwater life. We had plenty of time to snorkel and then lots of relaxing time in the boat to see a ton of humpback whales. We are already planning our Four Winds snorkel trip next year!

The food was excellent, the staff were super friendly, and the experience itself couldn't be beat! Photos were priceless and the beauty of both snorkel spots was indescribable

It was my first time in Maui in 25 years, and I’m really glad I had this experience. From the moment we boarded, I felt an exciting thrill as if I was already on an attraction. The weather was great, and the beauty of it all made me forget about everyday life! The clarity of the ocean, the encounters with sea turtles, and the meals on the boat make me want to come back again!

For those who are unsure about Japanese, there is an incredibly powerful Japanese person named Takako. She embodies the energy of Hawaii. She approached me very casually, and she has such a fun personality.

I will definitely come back. MAHALO!!

25年ぶりのマウイでしたが、本当にこの体験をして良かったです。
乗船してからすぐにアトラクションに乗っているかのようなワクワク感で、天気も良く、日頃の現実が忘れられるような美しさです！
海の透明度、ウミガメとの遭遇、船上での食事ともにまた来たいと思います！

日本語に不安の方々へ
Takakoさんという物凄くパワフルな日本人の方がいらっしゃいます。ハワイのエネルギーを溜め込んでいる方です。とてもフランクに話しかけてくれて本当に楽しい人柄の方です。

かならずまた来ます。
MAHALO！！

We participated as a couple in our 60s. There was no anxiety because the Japanese staff member, Takako, kindly taught us everything. Once on board, we were served juice, bread, and fruit, and then we set off. At Molokini Island, we snorkeled in the beautiful sea, and during the transfer to a spot where we could see turtles, lunch was served. We had the choice of a hamburger or a hot dog. We were able to see turtles as well, and we were very satisfied.

60代の夫婦2人で参加しました。
日本人スタッフのタカコさんが親切に教えてくださったので不安なことはありませんでした。乗船するとジュースとパン、フルーツが配られて、出発です。モロキニ島ではきれいな海でシュノーケル、その後亀が見られるスポットに移動する間に昼食が配られます。ハンバーガーかホットドッグのチョイスでした。亀も見ることができ、大満足でした。

This charter exceeded all of our expectations! The entire crew was super helpful and welcoming. There was plenty of gear and fun activities for everyone. The kids loved the slide, I did the SNUBA experience and we even saw at least 100 dolphins on our way back. Would hands down do this charter again! Aloha from Minnesota

I had a great time with Takako and the crew, who were bright and friendly. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see the honu (some people did), but I was very satisfied. I was impressed by Takako's hospitality!

タカコさんをはじめクルーの皆さんが明るく親切でとても楽しかったです。残念ながらホヌには会えませんでしたが(見た方はいらっしゃいました)十分満足できました。タカコさんのホスピタリティに感動しました！

The tour was supposed to include two snorkeling spots, but in reality, we only visited one, and we couldn't go to the spot where we could see turtles. The weather on the day was clear.

As for my experience snorkeling at Molokini Island, the sea was relatively beautiful, but there weren't many types of fish, and I couldn't help but compare it to Okinawa and other islands in Japan, which left me a bit disappointed.

However, the local staff were very accommodating, the food was delicious, and the unlimited drinks made the tour more reasonable than I expected.

I was able to figure out the parking location by looking at everyone's reviews. I think it would be helpful for the operating site to provide a bit more detailed information.

ツアー内容はシュノーケルスポットを2箇所まわるということでしたが、実際は１箇所のみで、カメの見れるスポットには行けませんでした。当日の天気は晴天でした。

モロキニ島でのシュノーケル体験での感想としては、海はそれなりに綺麗ですがあまり魚の種類もいなく、沖縄や日本の離島とどうしても比較してしまい少し期待外れでした。

しかし、現地スタッフの方の対応もよく、食事も美味しかったですし、お酒も飲み放題だったので思ったよりツアーとしてはリーズナブルだと思います。

駐車場の場所は、皆さんの口コミをみて把握できました。運営サイトとして、もう少し詳細を具体的にしてあげると良いのではないかと思います。

This tour was efficient, the ride out was smooth, and we got to see tons of ocean activity!!

We participated as a couple in our 60s. We were the only Japanese participants among many others, from small children to elderly people, and it was an incredibly fun and fulfilling tour packed with activities according to the schedule.

As soon as we boarded, breakfast was served on the ship, followed by cruising, snorkeling around Molokini Island, more cruising, lunch, and snorkeling around Kihei. It felt like a full day tour, and we were able to see fish and turtles, making it an unforgettable experience.

Additionally, as many others have shared in their testimonials, we were deeply moved by the kind and attentive service from the Japanese staff, Takako and Kana. Their consideration for us as Japanese participants, as well as for the other participants, was outstanding, making it a very pleasant and enjoyable tour. Thank you so much for this truly wonderful experience!

60才夫婦で参加しました。日本人は私達のみで小さいお子さんからご年配の方までたくさんの参加者で、スケジュール通り盛りだくさんの内容でとっても楽しい最高のツアーでした。

乗船してすぐ船内に朝食があり、クルージング、モロキニ島周辺シュノーケリング、クルージング、ランチ、キヘイ周辺シュノーケリング、お魚も亀も見れた、5時間とは思えない満喫した1日ツアーのようでした。

また、他の方の体験談にもたくさんありますが、日本人スタッフのタカコさんとカナさんの心優しい細やかなアテンドに感動しました。日本人の私達へのお気遣いはもちろん、その他の参加者への気配りも素晴らしく、気持ちの良いとっても楽しいツアーでした。
本当に楽しい体験をどうもありがとうございました！

Clearest waters! Wonderful experience and wonderful crew.

The tour was well organized and we enjoyed very much

Great time had by entire family! It was a blast!!!

It was a bit of a long day on the water, but we loved it all around, the crew was very knowledgeable!

We got to make it to Molokini and the snorkel was great that day, lots of ocean life, clear conditions, all around a wonderful day!

We had a great time snorkeling at the Molokini Crater. The staff was all really friendly and helpful. The boat was perfect for young kids and they loved the snorkel boards that the boat provided. The food was delicious and the slide and glass bottom portion provided lots of entertainment when we were done snorkeling. We saw whales on the way out and turtles on the way back. We'd definitely use this company again!

the snorkeling was incredible and the crew was fantastic!! would recommend them 1000% and take the tour every trip to maui. thank you

We had an amazing time on the boat. The food was delicious, the crew was amazing, and we saw whales. We were traveling with a 4 and 6 year old and they had all the perfect amenities for kids. 10/10!

The cruise was amazing. The crew was very friendly & their service was topnotch. We had nice breakfast & the food was being served time to time. Me being a vegetarian, I was very happy that they also had some veg/vegan options upon request. We had decent amount of time for snorkeling in both the spots (Molokini crater & turtle town) & saw see lots of colorful fish & corals. On our way back we also got to some whales which was the best part for me. We really enjoyed our cruise, it was super fun.

I thought it would be a light meal, but they served a hearty breakfast. In the morning, there were scrambled eggs, sausage, Danish pastries, muffins, and fresh fruit. It was great to have four types of juice, as well as coffee, tea, and hot cocoa. After breakfast, only coffee is available as a hot drink.

The visibility at Molokini was better. Turtle Town was murky, but there were turtles.

You might also see whales along the way. If you're confident you won't get seasick, it might be nice to watch from the upper deck. (It gets really bumpy the higher you go.) For those worried about seasickness, I recommend sitting near a window on the lower deck.

On the way back, they also serve alcohol, so if you still have energy and aren't driving, it might be okay to drink.

軽食かと思いきやしっかりご飯出ました。
朝はスクランブルエッグ、ソーセージ、デニッシュ、マフィンにフレッシュフルーツ。ドリンクもジュースが4種類にコーヒー、紅茶、ココアなど温かい飲み物があって良かった。朝食後は温かい飲み物はコーヒーだけになります。
（乗船までの待ち時間、船上が寒い、特に海から上がった後）

モロキニの方が透明度高かったです。
タートルタウンは濁ってましたが、カメは居ました。

クジラも途中で見えたりします。
酔わない自信がある人は上のデッキで見てると良いかも。
（上に行くほどめちゃくちゃ揺れます）
船酔い心配な人は、下の階で窓の近くに席を取っておく事をお勧めします。

帰りはアルコールの提供もあるので、元気が残っていて、車の運転なければ飲んでもいいかもです。

My total cost for this excursion was $242.30. It was not worth that price. The crew was sarcastic and snappy. They did lighten up as the morning went on, but my first impression stayed. Fortunately I’m a seasoned swimmer and snorkeling/snuba is easy, so I didn’t require any assistance. Lastly, it’s a big money grab without much service in return. I understand they are a business, but I cannot understand why they can’t pay their employees? Why do they guilt trip you into having to tip every chance they get? Even the emails leading up to it state the expected gratuity. TL:DR Molokini crater is amazing - you should go! Unless you’re dying to try snuba, then go with a different company and have fun.

My husband and I had such a wonderful time on this trip. The crew was wonderful, helpful, generous and informative. Snorkeling at Molokini is an experience everyone who snorkels should experience. The water is so clear you see every little crevice, coral, creatures and color of every fish is AMAZING!!!! Also returning to snorkel at turtle town and then breaking out the sails on the catamaran just added to an already unforgettable experience. Go on this trip and experience a very special Maui area. Share this with your family - It will be something special you did together forever.

Everything was great, exactly how it’s described
The timing, the staff, the photographer on board and under water was great, we saw the turtles, and dolphins, loved it
Take early time so u will be done by noon and you have another half of the day to do more or rest
My kids were excited to be in the water, they were little too small for snorkeling (4 and 2 years old) so didn’t snorkel

Our meeting was at 7:30 AM, and when we arrived, there were many participants gathered, which really got us excited. Once we reached Molokini Island, we quickly went snorkeling. It was the clearest water I've ever swum in (though I don't have that much experience). My partner was snorkeling for the first time, but they gradually got the hang of it, and we both enjoyed watching the fish together. At the second spot, we were thrilled to encounter a sea turtle swimming by. Eating a hamburger on the boat while battling the wind was also a great memory. Even in August, I felt a bit cold towards the end of our swim, but it wasn't cold enough to need to borrow a wetsuit. It was a tour that was definitely enjoyable for snorkeling beginners!

朝7:30の集合でしたが、着いてみたら参加者がたくさん集まっていてテンションが上がりました。モロキニ島に着いたら早速シュノーケリング。今まで泳いだ海の中で（といってもそんなに経験があるわけではありませんが）一番透明度が高かったです。相方は初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが徐々にコツを掴み、2人で魚鑑賞を楽しめました。2か所目のスポットではウミガメが泳いでいる姿にも出会えて感動でした。船上で風と戦いながら食べたハンバーガーも良い思い出です。8月でも泳いでいる最後の方は少し寒さを感じましたがウエットスーツを借りるほどではなかったです。シュノーケリング初心者にとっては充分楽しめるツアーでした！

Great boat, friendly crew and good for kids.They Provided a nice lunch and drinks and had a beautiful Bottom boat viewing for little ones. This boat wasn’t overcrowded like the calypso which I appreciated. I would go again, the only thing I would have liked was to go to two locations but that wasn’t in their program, which I chose. Overall great day!!

- There were about 40 participants in the tour, with people from various countries.
- I joined alone, but the staff and other guests frequently chatted with me, which was enjoyable.
- In chronological order:
- We gathered at the meeting point at 6 AM for reservation confirmation and boarded the boat.
- Breakfast included a mountain of fruits like pineapple, grapes, and oranges, along with sandwiches, coffee, and juice, all of which were very delicious.
- Since we were on a boat, there was a slight sway, but I didn't feel seasick at all.
- Just to be safe, I only had a little fruit and coffee for breakfast.
- The water quality at Molokini was very clear, and I was able to see various fish.
- Turtle Town had slightly lower water quality than Molokini (maybe it varies by day?), but it was still a beautiful sea, and I was able to see about 10 turtles right in front of me.
- The guide sat on a surfboard nearby to monitor us, allowing us to enjoy snorkeling safely and securely.
- For lunch, sandwiches, cookies, juice, beer, and simple cocktails (including Mai Tais!) were provided on the boat, and on the way back, I felt free to eat without worrying about seasickness.
- During snorkeling, the staff called out to us, and I was able to purchase beautiful photos taken with an underwater camera, which I received via email.
- Regarding these photos, you can either buy one or all of them, and if you buy all, you'll receive photos of all the guests taken that day... meaning your own photos as well...
- Don't worry, photos are not taken unless you want them. While I felt a bit anxious, it seems you can also rent a GoPro here for a fee to take your own pictures.
