What To Expect
Molokini Crater
Snorkel the amazing blue waters around Molokini Crater, it's like swimming in an aquarium!
Pu’u Ola’i, also known as Red Hill, is a dome-like cinder cone backing Maui’s well known Little Beach. This is our half-way point and a great spot for a small break after exploring Molokini. Blue Lagoon is a protected cove great for hanging out and drifting before more adventures. Next, we’ll Seafari™ at a Pu’u Ola’i Cove, a shallow area where you’ll see shells galore amidst the crystal clear water. As we swim around Pu’u Ola’i Point, we’re often greeted by a gang of chub fish that call this area home. Then we make our way to The Cove and then to Coral Forest. These spots are filled with a variety coral and fish we don’t see anywhere else! Keep your eyes peeled for turtles, eagle rays and a variety of colorful fish.

Top tier Molokini snorkel tour

5.00Incredible snorkeling experience. 10/10, will go out with them again in future. This is different than your typical large party snorkeling excursion grouped in like sardines and given 30 minutes to snorkel. On this trip we were the first out to the crater. We snorkeled five different locations including the wall and backside of molokini larger boats can’t get to. Captain and mate were great. We were in the water with large schools of fish. We were lucky to hear vocalizations from humpback whales and had bottle nose dolphin sightings and saw a lot of sea turtles.
Great trip

5.00This was a great experience overall. We had about 15 people on our excursion and the crew did a great job making sure everyone had what they needed. The weather was iffy. The water was cold with no sun, but visability was still amazing at the crater. I am glad we did it.
Fabulous!

5.00We had a fabulous turtle tour with captain Jen and Eleni. We were b even fortunate enough to see a cow and calf humpback whale, Mom whale breached and then calf tried with much less height. Eleni got some fabulous photos and videos that she shared with us. Snorkeling with the turtles was extraordinary. I would do this tour again in a heartbeat. Just make sure to bring your beach towel to dry off.
Best snorkel charter ever

5.00My husband and I had a great time on this excursion. Captain Jen and Elani were bright and friendly and informative. Capt. Jen's jokes were corny but fun. We particularly enjoyed snorkeling on the outer side of Molokini and "Turtle Town". Elani was in the the water with us the whole time and taking pictures. The pictures were up within about 24 hours and are great mementos of the trip. The fact that they take the pictures was one of the factors in deciding on the company. Plus the small group size (I think there were 16 of us) and speed of the boat. We also saw whales which Capt. Jen was happy to stop for us to watch. An unexpected sight was flying fish! Two slight drawbacks: 1) the website says there is a bathroom on board but when we arrived we were told there really isn't, and 2) it was sometimes hard for us to hear Capt. Jen because we were at the very front of the boat so some sort of amplification would be helpful. Overall, I would happily go out with them again and encourage others to do so.
Awesome!

5.00Excellent tour! Captain Jen and Captain Doug were knowledgeable, safety oriented and still fun. Being able to snorkel 4 times at 4 different locations during the 5 hour trip allowed you to see a variety of coral, fish and sea turtles. Saw several whales and a bonus seal during the trip. Appreciated the coffee, snacks, banana bread and over 100 photos that were included in the price.
Great value, enjoyable crew

5.00We did the 5-hr, and IMO it was the best of the “tours” we took part in throughout our trip to Oahu and Maui. Captain Jen was great as was her first mate. The 5-hr is combined w a 2.5 hr Molokini only followed by a trip back to the boat ramp to swap with those on the follow-on Turtle Town portion. It provided an op for a bio break - use it. 😂 There is plenty of time but the facilities on the ramp were rough, not real clean. Snorkeling is lengthy and as scenic as you would imagine. But the real surprise for everyone onboard was the whale watching we were able to take part in while navigating out, back and in between sites. Pretty great. But the boat was new or seemed so, very comfortable, and we were provided the snorkeling gear, fins, and a flotation device, if desired. I think we had eight couples on the trip and never felt cramped or unattended to. Overall - 5 stars
Excellent!!
