Molokini and Turtle Town Snorkel Cruise with Food & Open Bar - Pride of Maui

Great Snorkeling Trip

Reviewed by: Tianxiong

This trip is a morning trip to Molokini and then Turtle town close to west Maui. The price is quite reasonable since it includes Cruise, continental breakfast, burger lunch, drinks with alcohol or non-alcohol, and snorkeling gears. It has snorkeling noodles and boards for those who are not good at swimming. They also have lifeguard, so pretty safe for this trip. The total snorkeling time is two hours: one hour for Molokini, and one hour for Turtle town.

Molokini is wonderful, many colorful fishes and coral reefs there. It’s the crater of a hidden volcano, of course extinct volcano.

The next stop is Turtle town, which locates close to west Maui. It’s hundreds meters off the shore. We see several turtles under the water. We followed a turtle and enjoyed swimming with it.

By the way, the scene from the cruise is fantastic. We have a broad overlook of Maui island and the valley in west Maui.

Molokini and Turtle Town Snorkel Cruise with Food & Open Bar - Pride of Maui

fulfilled our expectations

Reviewed by: rob

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.

Captain Dan and his crew is always sooo great! We booked last year with this crew and absolutely loved it! We came back as a family and we still loved every moment of it as it were our first time again. We booked coral gardens but Capt Dan took us to Molokini Crater and sooo grateful! We wouldve bought the pictures but we were only in one candid shot. I wished we had more shots esp the first time experience for our son. Its ok, always next time. We bought them last yr with Tre since we were captured many times

Turtle Reef Kayak Tour in Maui - Snorkel with Sea Turtles at Makena Landing & Winter Whale Watching

Disappointed

Reviewed by: Allie

I booked the west side snorkel safari online and was initially booked into the wrong time slot due to a glitch in the system. This wasn't a big deal. They were very helpful in sorting this out and assured me that they were working on fixing the glitch. The morning of the tour however, I took a taxi out to the meeting point only to be told that the trip was canceled due to high winds (it seemed calm to me, but I'm not an experienced ocean kayaker) $55 later I was back where I started. To be fair, they did try to phone me, but I did not have my phone turned on because I was trying to avoid roaming charges. I do not feel that one attempted phone call is sufficient customer service. I would have appreciated an email (this is how I had been communicating with the company from the beginning). I would suggest that anyone booking a similar tour contact the office before you leave in the morning to confirm that it will proceed as scheduled.

モロキニ島シュノーケリングクルーズ ＜朝・昼食付／現地集合＞

It depends on the weather... 天候次第な面も・・・

Reviewed by: tarikky

We participated as a couple. Thanks to the care of the Japanese staff member Miho, we had no trouble at all in Maui, where we hardly speak Japanese. The other staff members primarily spoke English, but they were very friendly and considerate, making a genuine effort to ensure we had a good time, which was quite impressive.

On the day of our participation, we were blessed with clear skies, and both snorkeling and snuba at Molokini Island had excellent visibility. I highly recommend snuba, especially for those who have no issues with equalizing while diving.

However, regarding the next point for sea turtle observation, it can be canceled if visibility is insufficient due to weather conditions up to the day before (as mentioned in the description). Unfortunately, we had to miss that part, and we ended up snorkeling at almost the same spot as before.

There were two other groups of Japanese guests besides us, but as expected, we didn't interact much with them. Instead, we became quite friendly with the foreign guests, who were very approachable.

In summary, it was a very enjoyable experience, and above all, the cheeseburger for lunch was exquisite.

夫婦で参加しました。
日本語スタッフのみほさんのケアもあって、日本語のほぼ使えないマウイでも当日困るようなことはまったくないでしょう。
基本みほさん以外のスタッフさんは英語オンリーですが、非常に気さくで、こちらを気遣ってくれますし（仕事なので当然かもしれませんが）こちらを楽しませようと努力してくれているのはかなりの好感が持てます。

参加当日は晴天に恵まれ、モロキニ島でのシュノーケル、スヌーバ共に最高の透明度でした。
とくにスヌーバは潜水時の耳抜きが問題ない方には是非にもとおススメするくらいです。

ただ、モロキニ島の次のポイント（海亀観察ができるらしい）については、前日までの天候次第で透明度が足りなかったりすると中止です。（説明文にもある）
私たちもそちらは残念ながら中止になってしまい、最初とほぼ同じポイントでのシュノーケルタイムになりました。

私たち以外の日本人客はほかに2組ありましたが、当然といえば当然か、そのかたがたとはあまり絡みませんでした。むしろ外国人の方々が非常に気さくで、そちらと仲良くなったくらいです。

総括としては、非常に楽しい思い出になりましたし、なによりお昼のチーズバーガーは絶品です。

Lots of fun

Reviewed by: Laura

Kayaking tour guide was friendly and informative. He gave us simple directions for basic kayaking and we did well. We followed him away from the crowd up the coast to clearer waters. Saw all kinds of fish, he pointed out a turtle, and also gave us information about the islands. Just the right amount of time. We were also given juice. One item to improve upon is cleaner snorkels as our friend found hair on hers. Although we snorkeled near our hotel and saw as many fish and turtles we enjoyed this kayaking experience.

モロキニ島シュノーケリングクルーズ ＜朝・昼食付／現地集合＞

I was able to see sea turtles and butterflyfish. ウミガメにもチョウチョウウオにも会えました。

Reviewed by: エッチン

The 6:30 AM pickup was a bit sleepy, but once I got on the boat, I woke up. Last year, when I went snorkeling on the Big Island (Captain Cook), the water wasn't very clear and the fish weren't that great, so I didn't have high expectations this year. However, at Molokini, the water was quite clear and there were plenty of fish. There were several types of fish like pipefish and butterflyfish, so I was satisfied.

After about an hour, we headed to the next sea turtle point. I was worried that the water wouldn't be very clear and that I might not see any turtles, but fortunately, I was one of the first to get into the water and quickly encountered one. Since there weren't many people yet, I was able to enjoy watching it swim leisurely. I swam here for nearly an hour, but compared to Molokini, there were fewer fish, and the main attraction was definitely the sea turtles. Just when I thought it was almost over, the guide told us there was a turtle a little further away, so I hurried over and was able to see the second one.

I realized how glad I was to join the tour since I wouldn't have known the spots on my own. On the way back, I relaxed on the boat while enjoying beer and cocktails while watching the video the crew had taken.

朝６時半のピックアップはちょっと眠たかったけど、船に乗ったら目が覚めました。
昨年ハワイ島（キャプテンクック）でシュノーケリングをしたときには、水もあまりきれいでなく魚ももう一つだったので、今年もあまり期待をしていなかったのですが、モロキニ島は、結構水もきれいで魚もたくさんいました。パイプウニヤカワハギ系の魚、チョウチョウウオも数種類いて、まあ、満足。
１時間ほどして、次のウミガメポイントへ。水はあまりきれいでなかったので、ウミガメが見れるかどうか心配だったのですが、ほぼ一番乗りで海に入ったのが幸いで、すぐに１頭に遭遇しました。まだ、あまり人がいなかったので、ゆったり泳いでいる姿を堪能できました。ここでも１時間近く泳いでいましたが、モロキニに比べ魚も少なく、やっぱり目当てはウミガメ。そろそろ終わりかという時に、少し離れたところにカメがいるとガイドの人が教えてくれたので、全速力でそちらに向かい２頭目を見ることができました。
自分ではポイントなどわからないし、ツアーに参加してよかったと思った瞬間でした。帰りの船中では、クルーが撮ったビデオを見ながらビールやカクテルを飲んでゆったりできました。

Reviewed by: Caitlin Stein

I would give this 4 1/2 stars! My husband and I ended up getting a private tour because no one else signed up! Our guide was great (didn't give name)-he constantly was bringing things back up to the surface to show us and was very knowledgable about anything we asked about. I had a very personal and special experience with a female turtle while snorkeling and we saw some while kayaking, but I thought we would see more at the turtle cleaning station. Would recommend this to anyone with experience. The total time was good but we wish it could have been a little longer-our guide didn't want us to be on choppy waters. Our tour was around 3 hrs. They provide you with snacks and water. Our guide was snapping pictures for us and will e-mail them to us for free! Can't wait to see them! Mahalo to our guide and this company!!

Tip: After you are done, ask your guide about the Jaws Food Truck-delicious fish tacos and burritos with snacks and smoothies!

My husband and I took the snorkeling trip on the Trilogy V out to Molokini Crater. What an amazing adventure! The crew was so wonderful and went out of their way to take care of their guests. The food was delicious! The crew served fresh baked cinnamon rolls and fruit for breakfast, a huge lunch, and an ice cream sundae for dessert, as well as unlimited beverages. The trip out and back from the crater was so much fun! The snorkeling was top notch! After snorkeling at the crater, we also snorkeled at Turtle Town where we saw beautiful sea turtles in their natural environment. There is nothing more amazing! I would highly recommend this trip and we cannot wait to sail with this crew again. Thank you for the amazing memories!

Four Winds Afternoon Snorkel Cruise & Turtle Watching Tour with Taco Bar Lunch

lots of fun BUT.........

Reviewed by: Leca

I would suggest anyone to do it in the morning because in the afternoon it's way too short, you get about 1hr to snorkel because it takes more than one hour to get to molokini and another to get back. Everything was a lot of fun but I WOULD NEVER DO THE SNUBA OPTION AGAIN - it's a different business so you'd have to pay there, me and my husband were both disappointed, it's not that much of a difference from snorkeling because the line isn't too long, it's just 30 mins of the time you're there, the guy running it was extremely rude and you have to pay an additional 60$ per person, NOT WORTH IT!
But apart from the snuba issue, the rest of the trip was fun, and bbq lunch was good! Molokini is beautiful.

Absolutely amazing! A must do activity while in Maui!

Reviewed by: Spencer

Beautiful, magnificent, spectacular, and extraordinary. Just a few words that come to mind when talking about my experience with this activity. I knew that while I was on Maui, that I wanted to go scuba diving. Unfortunately, you have to be certified to go scuba diving. So, I did the next best thing. I went on a snorkel/snuba diving adventure. Not only was the experience breathe taking, but the instructors, captain, film crew, and the rest of the staff was so courteous and knowledgeable. Any questions, comments, or concerns you have they are more than willing to go above and beyond your expectations to make you feel comfortable. Well worth every penny I spent on this activity. Anyone who is thinking about going snorkeling, should check out this company. They have amazing customer service which is hard to find. The snuba adventure is unlike anything I've ever tried. You get the opportunity to swim up close and personal with all kinds of sea life. Highly recommend spending the extra money to go snuba diving.

It wasn't great for snorkeling. シュノーケリングとしてはイマイチかな

Reviewed by: 上海蟹

I participated on March 9th. The day before, I went whale watching from Lahaina, and we were able to see whales on the way to the snorkeling point. The captain slows down the boat when he spots a whale, which makes everyone very happy.

On the day of the event, there were about 40 participants, and among them, only five were Japanese, including us. Our guide, Takako (who shares the same name as my wife), took great care of us.

As for snorkeling, the visibility and the number/types of fish were somewhat lacking... But since we could see whales during this season, it was still worthwhile. We also spotted three turtles. If you're just looking for turtles, the rocky area behind the power plant at Kahului Harbor is a sea turtle point. There are about 20 floating around. However, unlike Laniakea in Oahu, there are no sandy beaches here, so you won't see them basking on the shore.

３/９に参加しました。前日はラハイナからのホエールウォッチングに行ったのですが、シュノーケリングポイントへの道中クジラを見ることができます。
キャプテンもクジラを見つけるとボートのスピードを落としてくれるのでみんな大喜び。

純然にシュノーケルとしては透明度・魚の数/種類などイマイチの感が・・・

カメもチラチラっと３匹見ることが出来ました。
カメだけでしたら、カフルイ港の発電所裏岩場がシータートルポイントです。
