Nice experience

Reviewed by: Anna, 2023/08/08

The crew are very organized and helpful.
The food are great, we had burgers and hotdogs.
They also provide alcohols for purchase.
But not much to see under water. Only see one turtle that day.
A little bit disappointed about cannot see much fish or turtles.

The weather did not cooperate, so it turned into a whale watch

Reviewed by: Katharine, 2019/02/17

The staff was excellent, we were sorry that we were unable to snorkel, but thoroughly enjoyed the whale watch. Mahalo!!

Molokini and turtle snorkeling

Reviewed by: Denise, 2018/02/23

The overall trip was great. The snorkeling was fun but crowded. Snorkeling to see turtles was fun and I am happy we got to see them but they are not guaranteed.

First time snorkeling for my Mom and I.

Reviewed by: Cori, 2017/12/07

We didn't get to either spots listed in the title of the tour due to weather. Maybe, in the future, they can offer a discounted 2nd trip so you can actually get to Molokini Crater. They don't offer that, so you get what you get. The "glass bottom" boat is also a deceiving description of this boat. Don't go based on this alone. The area we went was suitable for a relaxed first time snorkel. Lots of people, but my Mom still got first class treatment due to her fear of the new adventure. Heather ensured she felt comfortable in the gear and went into the water with her to get her comfortable to go off on her own! It was a very good experience, although I would not take a tour like it again. I would opt for something with less people on a smaller boat, for sure. If you choose to purchase the photos at the end, make sure you sought him out to actually take some pictures of you first or you will just have a lot of pictures of other people. The pics he took of my Mom are really good, although there are none of me while snorkeling. But, there were a LOT of people, so how could he possibly get pics of everyone.
All in all the boat was clean, the people were nice, and the snorkeling was really great! The food was pretty good, too.

Enjoyable day, great service

Reviewed by: Erin, 2016/08/28

Overall and enjoyable day. Catamaran was nice and comfortable. Guides, chiefs and barman very good service. Snorkeling was fairly good, lots of sea turtles to be seen - guides very helpful in locating and ensuring everyone had a chance to view them. Unfortunately on the day we went we were unable to go to molokini due to rough waters - I was very disappointed about this as a big reason I booked this was to see the under water crator. The tour guides however did their best to accommodate for another spot. Breakfast, lunch dessert and alcohol were all served - food was good. I was pleasantly surprised about the amount of catering/alcoholic drinks that were provided given the length of the tour

Not the best snorkeling ever, but tour was fun

Reviewed by: Jesper, 2015/02/09

Molokini is not as stunning a snorkel spot as some say: there's only a select variety of fish and there's no impressive coral reef. The water is very clear though. But there are definitely much better snorkeling options elsewhere to be found.
We had a muddy water day for Turtle Town sadly, but I got to see a turtle nonetheless, which was nice.
The tour organisation was class though, well-spirited. Breakfast was decent, lunch was very good. And there were a lot of whales to be seen! I must say that even with Molokini not completely living up to its reputation I had a good fun day. Time well-spent.

Worth every penny! A "must do" in Maui

Reviewed by: Oregon Girl, 2014/11/23

What a wonderful adventure! We loved this 1/2 day snorkel trip to Molokini and "Turtle Town". It took nearly 4 days to convince my husband that we should go on an organized snorkel trip. I was tired of looking for great places to snorkel and knew the cruise would provide what we were looking for. Thanks to the wonderful crew, it was one of our most memorable days in Maui. Our boat captain was fantastic and the staff did a great job explaining the days events. Everything was well organized, timely and relaxing. We can't say enough great things about the delicious meals, cold drinks(alcoholic and non-alcoholic), breathtaking views, fish and turtles! As luck would have it, we even got to see a few whales. We enjoyed the experience and look forward to doing it again. Aloha!

Snorkeling adventure with 3 kids *FUN*

Reviewed by: Krish, 2014/11/17

We are a family of five with 3 kids under 4.Call us brave or crazy,we wanted try snorkeling for the first time.All we have end of the day is a wonderful memory of our first snorkeling adventure.With a 4 year old on a wheel chair, we couldn't have asked for more.The crew was just fabulous.They also had super cool floating boards for kids which has a transparent area for viewing.kids could float with adults and they too can enjoy the ocean wonders. My 4 year olds were quite thrilled seeing the corals and turtles.I would call it a success adventure when every one in the family including the toddler had their own share of ocean fun and adventure.We had just enough time to snorkel on both the locations despite 3 kids and adults taking turns.Here again,it was the crew which made everything possible for us.If you wanna try snorkeling with small kiddos, my hands raise for this one!

fulfilled our expectations

Reviewed by: rob, 2014/11/09

We have been on similar tours before so had some idea of what to expect. The boat was a little tricky to find (to the left of the main harbor entrance).
The crew were excellent, very professional, friendly and organised. They had a lifeguard in the water for the snorkeling, which makes this a great choice for families.
The snorkeling spots were very busy but we saw lots of great fish at Molokini, and we saw 4 turtles at turtle town.
The food was very simple, but they have a lot of people to feed so it needs to be.
