Four Winds Deluxe Molokini Snorkel Tour with Breakfast, Taco Bar Lunch & Drinks
A Great Experience
Reviewed by: AM
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!

Calypso Deluxe Molokini Crater & Turtle Town Snorkel Tour with Breakfast & Lunch
Fantastic cruise & experience
Reviewed by: Neeha
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.

Deluxe Molokini & Turtle Snorkel Tour with Breakfast, Lunch & Drinks - Trilogy
This is a FANASTIC snorkeling experience for novices and experts
Reviewed by: Lana
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.

Excellent experience
Reviewed by: Gulzira J
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

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.

5-Hour Lanai Snorkel Tour, Dolphin Watching & Breakfast - Hawaii Ocean Rafting
Amazing snorkeling near Lanai
Reviewed by: Jeannie T.
Captain Jill, Silas, and Jen provided an amazing trip, complete with hundreds of spinner dolphins passing the boat along the way to Lanai.
The snorkeling near Lanai was incredible, with crystal clear water, beautiful coral, sea turtles, spotted eagle rays, huge schools of fish, and a baby octopus! My family and I could have stayed in that first snorkeling spot all day! All of us would highly recommend this trip. The captain and crew were knowledgeable, professional and fun. It was one of the best snorkeling trips we have ever taken.
Mahalo for snorkeling with us! We're so glad Jill, Silas and Jess were great host and you had an awesome experience with marine encounters! Mahalo for joining us!

Four Winds Deluxe Molokini Snorkel Tour with Breakfast, Taco Bar Lunch & Drinks
Snorkeling trip
Reviewed by: Doug Gruber
The snorkeling was very crowded. Can’t count the number of times I got hit in the head with one of their little glass bottom floating devises. Had to quit early because the waves were getting to big. Not their fault I know. The food wasn’t good and some of my family members had moldy buns. Did get to see some whales and turtles.
Aloha,
Thank for your choosing the Four Winds.
I'm sorry you felt the snorkeling location was crowded; Christmas time is the busiest time of the year on Maui, as I'm sure you could tell by the plane ride over.
Our hot BBQ lunch is a staple on our vessel, I am so sorry to hear that this wasn't the case for you and your family. I will be sure to pass your comment on to our management team.
Aloha,
Nikki

モロキニ島シュノーケリング＆セーリングツアー グラスボトム完備で海中も楽しめる＜午前／朝食＆昼食付き／英語ガイド＞
良いけど、最高って訳でもない
Reviewed by: 体験者
珊瑚礁が思っていたより小さかった。
ハワイ島のケアウホウ湾の縮小版って感じた。
グラスボトムは、結構傷があって写真ほど、綺麗には見えない。
食事やクルーの感じは、悪くはない。楽しめるよう気を使ってくれる。
駐車場は有料。料金はSECURITY という支払い場所でカード等で支払うか、ツアー受付にQRコードがあるので、それを使って支払う。
QRコードを使ったのだが、支払いがGoogle pay しかなく（見逃したかも）、たまたま残金があったからすぐに支払えた。
ただ、５から６時間（早く行くと１２時まで６時間必要になる）を設定するのに手間取った。その他を選んで１２時までの範囲を選択するだけだが、動きが悪く、苦労した。
で、最もダメだったのが、車のナンバーを入力しようとした際、全角文字入力になったが支払いできてしまったこと。下船したらレッカー移動されていた。
クルーに聞いても、SECURITY に連絡するように言われるだけ。SECURITY に連絡してもお昼過ぎじゃないと留守電になる。車はキヘイの廃車置き場に移動されるので、道のり8. 6mileもある。
なので、レッカー車が来たときに必死に頼み込んで、つれていってもらった。
半角文字での入力。とても大事。
Aloha,
Maalaea Harbor parking is run by a company called Secure Parking Hawaii. I am very sorry to hear they towed your vehicle. We unfortunately have zero connection with their services... this is why our crew was unable to assist. The parking company also have a pay station at the harbor if you are unable to pay with your personal device. I wish there was a way we were able to assist guests with this, but it completely out of our control.
Mahalo,
Nikki

Four Winds Deluxe Molokini Snorkel Tour with Breakfast, Taco Bar Lunch & Drinks
Beautiful setting, but the boat ride and crew left something to be desired.
Reviewed by: Anonymous
Loved Molokini, but the boat experience was just okay. The crew seemed short/curt and not very welcoming. There was one crew member that was absolutely wonderful, friendly, and inviting. It also felt like a heavy sales pitch once you boarded. Everything, from additional gear (wet suit), scuba, photos, all costs extra and it's not cheap. Food was just okay. Also, know that when you snorkel, they limit you to how far from the boat you can go. All that said, the water and natural beauty was incredible. I recommend it for that reason alone.
Thank you for choosing the Four Winds. Safety is always our top priority, so we do let our guests know what the safe parameters are, as far as the distance you can swim away from the boat. This is only to protect our guests and to make sure everyone is safe.
Mahalo!

Four Winds Deluxe Molokini Snorkel Tour with Breakfast, Taco Bar Lunch & Drinks
Amazing crew!
Reviewed by: Yvonne R.
First, let me start by saying the entire crew was amazing! I went with my husband and teenage daughter. I got motion sick and the crew were so helpful and concerned. Gave me ginger drinks, ice for the back of my neck and were just so nice. The snorkeling was great. We saw tons of fish and my husband and daughter even saw a puffer fish. The crew had people in the water while everyone was snorkeling just making sure everyone was good. The lunch they provided was a hit and my husband and daughter said the shredded pork sandwich was the best pork they had in Maui. All three of us loved the cruise and would do it again in a heart beat. I would not go with anyone else after how amazing this experience was. And even though I was sick it was the genuine concern and care for everyone’s well being and the crew really cared that everyone was having a good time. Best group of people to go out on a boat with!!
Thank you so much for joining us on the Four Winds and for letting us know about your experience!

The overall experience was good, the children had fun and my son got to go on the floating device with the window. My husband opted for the snub-a experience which he confirms was a blast.

With this being our first snorkel tour, I wasn't sure what to expect. I can tell you that it was just as much about the people running the tour as it was about the tour itself. Everyone was dedicated to making our experience a memory to last a lifetime.

A fabulous experience!
Reviewed by: Sarah M
I am so glad we booked with this company! Many staff members were verified life guards and had degrees I. Marine biology. Safety and fun was their first priority. They didn’t skimp on lunch- allowed 2nds and thirds so you definitely weren’t left hungry! We were a little bummed that we didn’t actually get to see any whales, only 1 turtle, and not a ton of fish, but they can’t help nature.
