5.00The crew was wonderful, the food and coffee was good, we weren’t able to go to turtle town do to the weather but we went whale watching instead and saw a bunch of them, for sure an amazing outing!
Fun day and good staff!

4.00Was a great day despite the weather. We were warned of choppy conditions beforehand and given the opportunity to cancel if preferred which was appreciated. We decided to go out anyway and despite the very bumpy ride out we ended up having Molokini all to ourselves and had spectacular snorkeling! One of the cheaper excursions to molokini we found online and we still thoroughly enjoyed our day. Just note there is no vegetarian option on board for the included ‘lunch/snack’ which is just hotdogs and chips. Overall worth the value and glad we chose to do it even with the poor weather! Note you should bring some American cash for a tip :)
So awesome! Highly recommend

5.00We had an awesome time! We got upgraded last minute to the Calypsco. 4 of us in the group. We had a truly breathtaking experience snorkeling, so many whales were out on the way to snorkel and on the way and back stopping at perfect times to take pictures and enjoy the scenery. I felt like we had so much to do the whole 6 hours. The crew was so fun and truly on top of their stuff. The caption was funny and informative, felt like we learned a lot and made incredible memories. Would 100% recommend to any person, couple, or family. Something to enjoy for everyone. Loved this experience. We had everything you could think of at our finger tips as much food as you wanted, a million drink options. Although we didn’t get the Mai tais they sure did sound good! Ponchos when it rained, wet suits, towels, sunscreen, Vaseline, defog for masks etc.

Poor value for money

3.00Maui itself is great. The services are horrible: the roads are atrocious, Side walks waiting for lawsuits, street lighting,(where it exists) is poor. They gouge the tourists unmercifully with taxes and treat them like crap. Ferrell chickens abound, waking vacationers at 5:30 and most other times. Maui is like a 3rd world country.
Awesome Snorkeling/ Whale Watching Trip

5.00We had a great time on our snorkeling trip. I wish we would have seen turtles though. Though we saw some Whales which was the best part. Plus we didn't get to use the go pro as much as we would have like and wished the picture Marley took were included, they were awesome and heard the whales in the water. He was very nice.Food was great too. I would recommend them and go again.
Awesome!
