5.00Molokini was full of fish- no turtle sightings. Whales breaching on the way to the second stop. Turtle and whale sightings at the second stop. Finally got to swim with turtles- highlight of the trip. Staff were friendly and informative. Food was good. The pulled pork was very good. I would highly recommend this trip!

5.00This was the most incredible day out for our whole extended family, we had 4 kids in our group 9, 11, 14, 16 we got to snorkel with turtles, incredible fish, we saw so many whales and could hear them under the water when snorkeling which was fantastic. The tour had lots of food through the whole day, our daughter is celiac and they went out of their way to cater for her which was amazing. The team onboard were both knowledgable and really entertaining. It was a fantastic day out!!

5.00The best crew!! The food was really good, I appreciate that they had extra vegetarian options because I forgot to mention I wanted vegetarian beforehand (my bad!) I do recommend renting the wetsuits if you get cold easily. The boat was beautiful 😍 the views were amazing, we got to see whales too and I got to swim next to a couple turtles 🐢 Thank you so much for a great experience!!
This trip was the cheapest and best whale watch.

5.00This was an amazing day. The crew was great, entertaining and fun. The whale watching was great we saw at least 10 whales breach. A few were within 30 feet of our boat. (They came to us as we were stopped) Now Molikini was a bust. The reef is terrible. No life out there at all. We only saw few small fish. No color, thank god we had an awesome time to and from the crater.
Had a blast! Guides were...
