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.

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

4.00Organization was good, crew was extremely friendly and did well with novice snorkelers. Was concerned it was gonna be a instructor lead swim but thankfully it was not and each were on their own to pay attention to where they were snorkeling relative to the boat and timing. I do think it’s a bit expensive as are all of the tours similar in nature. I know the crew doesn’t want police everything but one suggestion would be to ensure that people are not occupying too much space simply for their convenience as when it is a full boat others suffer and it was a point of frustration for me which ended up in a discussion with an individual (family) who clearly didn’t take consideration of anybody else over their own… shouldn’t be a fight that I have to have on the boat when there’s supervisory capacity. Snorkeling was good with lots of fish and coral and a number of turtles at turtle town.
First time snorkeling and it was great

4.00The snorkeling spots are great! Expect boat to be packed to capacity with every seat full and crowded. Staff was just ok, not super personable or approachable. Underwater photos are very pricey from photographer.
Recommend!
