3.00Beautiful site, water was rough and only saw one type of fish. Black with a white translucent stripe. I was hoping for to see colorful fish so I was disappointed. Staff is excellent. The ride was nice.

5.00It was an amazing experience overall. Captain and crew were great - friendly, helpful, and efficient. They ensured that everyone had a good experience despite boat being full. Both the snorkeling at Molokini crater and Turtle town were amazing with lots of tropical fish and the green sea turtles along with the variety of corals.

1.00We booked this as a small group for snorkeling but that is NOT what we got. We were scheduled to leave at exactly 6:30am and had to be there at 5:45am. We got there and no one was there. Then when they arrived we were told to wait then at 6:45am we were told that we were being "upgraded " to a bigger boat. What they didn't tell us was that we were being put on a boat with 100 other people. We left almost 2 hours later and it was horrible. They cared more about giving you food then snorkeling. The winds were heavier because we left later. The whole reason we picked this experience was because we read to go earlier in the morning for a better boat ride because the waves aren't as bad. My husband got sea sick and because there were so many people the snorkeling was horrible and we saw no turtles, and barely any fish.
Amazing, exciting!

5.00Traveled with spouse and 5 yo. The crew was amazing! They really do accommodate kids, as well as older adults very well! They had a variety of floatation devices and even a board so kids, or those who don’t snorkel well, could lay flat and look down through the clear bottom to see the fish! The catamaran ride was awesome in itself, saw some cool fish at Molokini crater and a few turtles at Turtle Town! Snacks and drinks were yummy as well! No complaints honestly, would recommend!
Fabulous experience

5.00Great snorkeling experience. Winds were strong in the morning but the crew first took us to turtle town. We saw many turtles and fish. Next they took us to the Molokini crater, it was beautiful there. So many different types of fish and beautiful coral with the crater as a backdrop. Adequate breakfast and lunch was included, and restrooms were clean. Drinks are available as well. A little note: if the winds are strong on the way back you might get soaked if you sit in the upper deck of the boat haha.
Great snorkeling experience

5.00This was a great snorkeling experience. The captain and crew were very nice. We got food and drinks which I did not expect, but very nice. We were hoping to go to the Molokini crater, however due to wind we had to divert to coral sands I believe. This was a nice place , interesting coral, however there were not many fish present , and we did not see any turtles, although others may have.
