All Reviews for Marine Wildlife Encounters

I participated in the afternoon session. After about an hour on the boat, we arrived. When I went into the sea, I saw beautiful tropical fish. After coming back from the sea, we were given hot dogs, which were delicious. Shortly after the meal, a whale appeared, and it was impressive to see two of them jumping one after the other. I took a lot of photos, and it was the best experience.

午後の部に参加しました。船に乗って１時間ほどで到着。海に潜ると、きれいな熱帯魚が見れました。海から上がって帰路に着くと、ホットドックが配られ美味しくいただきました。食後、間もなく、クジラが現れ、二頭が相次いで跳び跳ねる姿が印象的でした。写真もいっぱい撮っていただき、最高でした。

Friendly crew, knowledgeable, patient, clear instructions. Clean boat, good food. Organized.

This was a standard whale watching experience. Boat was nice and clean. Crew was friendly and fun . We didn’t have much luck seeing whales, but it was early in the migration season. If nothing else then it a a nice boat ride around beautiful Maui.

We had a fully handicap person with us and the crew was great. They lifted her, in her electric wheelchair, onto the boat. She had room to move around the boat with ease. The bathrooms were not accessible but that was ok. The crew kept checking on her and made sure she was comfortable. It was a good experience, something that she wouldn't normally have been able to do. We were able to snorkel (not her), and didn't have to worry about her not being comfortable. We did not see any turtles, but got to see a small whale.

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.

I encountered whales three times while moving to different locations. It was very lucky!! However, even though I parked my car in the designated parking lot, I returned to find a no-parking ticket and a fine of $18!! Is this a targeted attack on rental cars? I wonder if others experienced the same. If so, they should explain in advance that there are fees for public parking.

クジラは場所を変えて移動し３回遭遇しました。大変ラッキーでした！！　但し、指定された駐車場に車を入れたのに、戻ると駐車禁止と罰金18$も取られた！！レンタカー狙い打ちか？　他の方も同じだろうか？　ならば事前に公共駐車場の料金かかる事を説明すべきだ。

My husband and I did the sunset cruise on my birthday during our trip to Maui and I highly recommend it. The staff were amazing and made sure all of the guests were well taken care of. The views were unbelievable. The food and drinks were abundant and tasty. We would definitely do it again if we make it back to Maui.

Excellent service and experience! 100% recommended

The boat was beautiful, crew helpful and friendly and the tour was breath taking. Couldn’t have asked for a better time! Food and drinks were great - we enjoyed the live music as well.

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.

Everyone should consider going on this trip. It's a lovely trip on a large boat with a crew and captain who really love what they do and love Maui and everything there is there. Maui is magical and having the opportunity to share it with people who truly care about it is such a fantastic experience. Do it!! You will not regret it :)

This was a great cruise! The team onboard was extremely friendly and engaging! Cocktail election was perfect and appetizers were on point! Although it gives you the choice to book with kids, I would caution taking kids who are under the age only because the group of passengers were clearly there for a good time. Overall great experience

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

My husband loved this boat ride so much, it made me so happy!

Really fabulous afternoon on the water. We loved the boat and the fish we got to see!!!

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！

Wishing the conditions on Molikini were a bit better

Really fun day with a good amount of space on the boat! Didnt feel any type of sea sick

I could only see two types of fish, but there was enough time for snorkeling. It’s better to rent a wetsuit for $10 per person since the water temperature is low and you can’t swim for long, but I was right not to rent one. I was able to swim for the entire time, which was great. My 8-year-old daughter had the most fun. The hamburger was also filling, and my grandmother was happy that we chose this activity.

魚は2種類しか見えなかったが、シュノーケルの時間も十分。一人10ドルでウェットスーツを借りた方が良い、水温は低いから長い間泳げないと言われたが、借りなくて正解でした。時間いっぱい泳げたので、良かったです。8歳の娘が一番楽しんでました。ハンバーグも食べ応えあり、このアクティビティを選んで良かったと祖母も喜んでました。

The crew was amazing, and the snorkeling was great. I was scared at first but they did their best to make me feel comfortable and they were so patient and kind. I’m so glad I got to experience this with This particular group. They’re passionate and knowledgeable and paid attention to everyone’s safety. Highly recommend renting a wetsuit jacket and an underwater camera from them. Well worth it!

One of the best experiences on our Maui trip

The dolphin tours were booked so we can watch dolphins. Boy did I spend 500$ for that which got wasted as we did not spot a single one. Very disappointed. My kids were so excited to watch dolphin and we could not. I would not recommend this service to anyone ever.

The boat is an afternoon ride so it is pretty hot, but the second you get to jump in the Maui waters its all worth it

Kids enjoying the toys that the boat had to offer, lunch was delish, and we got to see plenty of different sea life! A win all around for the family-- not to mention great price point.

Smaller boat which we liked a lot compared to our past experiences, food was a delish balance to splashing around the water!

Amazing experience , great crew. We were able to see 3 turtles which make it so special the tour

Crew was entertaining and extremely helping in making the trip safe and fun, wil book again on our next trip

It was a fabulous cruise with a great crew, food, music snd drinks!

The clear water in Maui was so nice and we saw so many local island fishy!

Too many people for the size of the boat. Hot dogs (what can I say). Afternoon is a snorkel near to the coast that is accessible from shore (not their fault except the say they will try to go to Molikini when there is zero chance in the afternoon). Best advice is to get up early if you really want a good snorkel experience and find a boat the is not so crowded.

I can't recommend this trip enough. We had a fantastic boating experience, the snorkeling was wonderful and the crew was the best. They went above and beyond and really worked to make the experience a special one. And the food was excellent, too. My wide and I had truly amazing time.
