Molokini Crater offers unparalleled visibility, and is a unique opportunity to visit 1 of only 3 sunken volcanic calderas in the entire world. Turtle Town is a unique series of underwater lava formations where Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles gather, and an opportunity to view these graceful animals in their natural environment. Both sites offer a wide variety of colorful tropical fish and other unique marine animals. SNUBA is also available onboard for *an additional charge*. Swim up close with beautiful marine life in a safe, controlled environment 15 feet beneath the surface, under the care of our expert Maui SNUBA instructors.

5.00Wonderful experience! First class all the way. The boat is beautiful but Captain Kayden, Sienna, Anna, & Kristy made this such a wonderful experience. They all definitely have a heart for service. Personable and fun. But great information as well. Good communication. Great food & beverages. Good music. We truly enjoyed our experience. Great snorkeling trip!

4.00Big boat with a lot of people, but the staff worked hard to make it an enjoyable trip. Very concerned about safety. Boat moved very slow. Had a light breakfast when we got on, but lunch was around 10:30 am. Snorkeling was just ok. But got to see some turtles and a variety of fish. Overall, it was a fun time, but not sure it was worth the price.

5.00Traveling with my adult autistic son. Our experience was phenominal! All of the staff were friendly and helpful, making sure that all guests got equipment that worked well. Super helpful on getting guests in the water, from littles to grandparents and helped problem solve. Excellent safety measures in and out of the water. So glad for wet suit rental on board, as Molokini was colder than expected. Breakfast and lunch was good (burger was delicious!), beverages were good-and delicious cookies. The staff made the trip for us! Notes for next time: -Read all the information sent to you-it'ts helpful -Come early and prepared to walk a bit to the boat. Go to the coast guard station and go left as you face the water. Lots of boats are leaving at similar times and lots of people can get confused on where to go and what boat they're on. - if parking in the paid parking lot-smart phone needed. We'll worth it for us. Don't take the default five hours that pops up on the site. Select custom time and pay for 6.5 hours to cover your parking. You'll need it for getting off the boat and walking back to your car. We saw lots of ticketed vehicles. -Bring a full water bottle to stay hydrated- the ship offers water in small cups, so you might want a larger container with you. - you can bring your own snorkel gear If you have them.
Amazing experience

5.00We had an absolutely amazing snorkeling trip to Molokini Crater! From start to finish, the entire experience exceeded our expectations. The crew was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive, making everyone feel comfortable and safe throughout the trip. The snorkeling was spectacular—we saw so many beautiful, colorful fish in the clear water. The boat was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and the food was surprisingly delicious. The fresh cookies and open bar were the perfect treat after snorkeling! What really made this trip special was how wonderfully they took care of our 15-year-old son. He wears glasses, and they provided him with prescription goggles so he could fully enjoy the experience. The staff went above and beyond to make sure he—and all of us—had everything we needed, and their kindness, attention and care meant so much to our family. We can't recommend this company highly enough. If you're looking for a top-notch snorkeling adventure in Maui, this is it! We would absolutely book with them again the next time we're here.

5.00Great crew headed by captain Kaydon along with Sienna, Anne and Diego. First class all the way. Captain Kaydon was clear and informative about the day and conditions. Highlight was a call “Fish On” as We left Molokini. Turned out to be a Marlin and everyone watched in awe as Sienna and crew expertly landed the 140 lb. Fish. Then we were off to Turtle Town. I’ve been coming to Maui and going on snorkel excursions for over 20 years. All were good. This one spectacular. Modern clean vessel with all the amenities you could ask for! I’ll be back in November for another adventure
Great snorkeling experience
