5.00Amazing experience! Worth every penny. We were thrilled with how clear the water was at Molokini and how far we could see. We saw a monk seal, dolphins, a whale, green turtles and LOTS of fish! I heard later there was a chart at the back of the boat identifying different kinds of fish- I wish I had seen that. The food was excellent, even more and better than described- a full hot breakfast plus pastries and lots of juices, a mid morning snack and great lunch with dessert (keep the ice cream on the menu!). The staff was super helpful and kind. There were lots of options for flotation if you were not a strong swimmer and several lifeguards watching over everyone. They thought of everything to make it an excellent trip. Violetta and Marley were especially helpful. We totally would recommend this trip!!
It was a good experience...

3.00It was a good experience overall, we saw fish and turtles, but the boat was very crowded (thigh to thigh with your neighbors) and the vibe was a lot more tour bus-ey than I was expecting
Perfect Snorkeling Tour for Our Honeymoon

5.00We came from South Korea for our honeymoon, and the captain and crew made it truly unforgettable. They were incredibly welcoming and took great care of everyone on board. The food was fresh and delicious, and the snorkeling experience was absolutely amazing. Swimming in the crystal-clear blue ocean alongside colorful fish and sea turtles was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Maui!
Well managed and well organized

5.00Excellent experience. Great service and plenty of time at both locations. Well organized and they are ready for lot of options. Would love it if you guys add a glass bottom floating boat for my wife who cannot swim. Would love to do this again next time I am back.
Great trip!

5.00Fantastic service, beautiful experience. Only thing is it is a large group that goes out. Would have preferred a small group BUT this is a great trip if you have children and the crew and views were great.

5.00Captain Carlos, Andy and Tom were absolutely awesome. They were extremely knowledgeable and great for all skill levels (we were beginners). Captain Carlos made us feel safe on the rides from the start, and especially with more choppy waters on the return trip. Food and beverage provided were great. Highly recommended.
