5.00We went on this snorkeling trip during our honeymoon and had the best time! The crew was all super helpful, funny, and knowledgeable. We always felt safe, but it was also plenty laid back enough to have lots of fun. We stopped at the crater and saw lots of cool fish on the giant coral reef there. Then we went to turtle town and saw at least 10 green sea turtles. I would definitely recommend this snorkeling trip while you’re in Maui! It was one of our favorite days here!
Fun time snorkeling

5.00Fun morning snorkeling with the fishes and turtles. The crew was great and very helpful. They kept us well informed and helped everyone depending on their skill level. Safety was their first priority. The photographer on board was great working with each group of guest. Photos came out amazing both above and below the water.
Great crew and a great time

5.00The experience was great. It was a bouncy day on the sea and a few of us got sea sick, but the crew took great care of us! They were helpful, friendly, and attentive. You can't beat the price for the experience you get. Would definitely do this tour again.
Top notch service

5.00We were very excited about our snorkel boat tour to Molokini , however a huge swell came in that morning and despite the crew trying everything they could, we were not able to snorkel. Unfortunately, nature had other plans. We still had a lovely boat ride up there and the crew was amazing. They still fed us breakfast and lunch and gave us free cocktails because they felt so bad that they couldn’t give us the best experience possible.
Just wish we had a choice

1.00I booked the molokini crater snorkeling excursion, we arrived at 1230 as requested got our boarding passes we board the boat at 1p keep in mind nothing was said about the wind/ weather. As we take off an announcement was made due to the weather we were unable to go to the molokini crater. We weren’t given any choice but to go to some lil cove which was quite disappointing, hardly saw any fish definitely didn’t see any turtles which might have been nice I guess, this was not worth the $$$ at all. If anything a choice would have been nice and/or a chance to reschedule.
It was amazing! Bring a...

5.00It was amazing! Bring a camera or a waterproof bag to put your phone in if you want to take pictures. There was a photographer on board if you forget, but the pictures are pricey.
Great time

5.00The most confusing thing was finding the shop. Get there early, sign the waiver before you arrive. people line up so this helps. The staff and crew are awesome. Photography was awesome. Great experience and will return.
