Snorkel with bonus whales!
Whitney M,Jan 29, 2026

4.00We had a wonderful time on this trip. The whales were popping and the snorkel was beautiful. The crew was amazing and so nice. The food and drinks served were top tier too. The only downside was that we had booked a smaller boat, but due to less people booking, we were moved to the larger boat. It was a little crowded for what we paid. It was still a good trip, just more people than we had originally planned. I definitely will book with this charter again because the crew was wonderful. The bonus of all the whale sightings made it over the top amazing.

3.00Go downstairs to find tour place has no elevators 25 steps to do.Then told we had to walk all around port about 1/2 mile to 1 mile. Never told this when I booked tour my husband is 68 after heart surgery need to tell people. Cruise was wonderful dont like being told how much we had to tip $20 for 2 people. Loved the bakery items, vegs tray, cookies, pop, drinks and hot dogs for lunch beautiful cruise team was great. Viator tell them put sign up to go downstairs for tour. Many people had tours at same time thank heaven I went into store and told to go downstairs.

5.00The boarding process was a breeze thanks to the well-seasoned staff. On the Calypso boat we were given breakfast, lunch, and even Popsicles which were all delicious. While we were unable to go to turtle town due to inclement weather, crew offered an open bar and some sight seeing to make up for it. We also got extra time to snorkel at molokini crater. We want to emphasize the incredible crew aboard the Calypso and the inclusiveness of all types of snorklers including children and those who may not want to get in the water at all. The Calypso crew provided gear to all passengers and ensured it fit correctly, provided clear instructions, and ensured small rafts for children and the glass window section at the bottom level of the boat ensures all passengers were able to get the full underwater experience. Again, we were so incredibly impressed by staff who were consistently helpful, made us feel so safe, from sitting on paddle boards around our snorkeling area and offering pool noodles, to spraying masks with anti-fog liquid as soon as they noticed someone's mask was fogging up while in the water, they truly made the entire experience for us.
