5.00It was excellent. Even though it was windy the boat was super smooth, the staff were wonderful and very helpful and the snorkelling was one the most amazing experiences I’ve had. There was beautiful coral, fish and eels! The way back was great with delicious food and drinks.

1.00Seems like a great deal and you get all the things they list, but in the least exceptional way. I doubt they ever actually make it out to Molikini. You end up west side of the island, corals are alive… but blink-and-you-miss-them fish. Then boiled hot dogs and chips. The staff seem happy and helpful except the entire ride you are subjected to a non stop list of rules and then told you should tip everyone. Maybe do it if you’re on a budget and/or your expectations are low.
Great trip

5.00Although we weren’t able to go to Molokini crater due to weather, we still had a great time. The captain and crew were excellent, offering drinks, snacks, and help along the way. Bonus! We got to see whales!
Wonderful experience!

5.00The boat was the perfect size, there were approximately 30 to 40 people. This made it fast to get in and out of the water. The crew was great, very efficient, friendly and took good care of us. We like going in the afternoon so you don’t have to get up so early. The price was great because they don’t include free alcohol, which was nice for us because we don’t drink. However, they do have alcoholic drinks at a very low price for those who do drink. They had a larger variety of food than advertised because they had some extra from the morning trip. The sign up desk was a little hard to find. If you are facing the shore, it is all the way to the left on the bottom level. The slips are not in numerical order. But, there’s was behind the restrooms on the marina
