    My husband and I had a blast with Captain Matt and Sarah! We chose the morning tour and the water was perfect, we saw several turtles and got to hear whales singing! Matt and Sarah were helpful, friendly, funny, and all around a good time. We brought our own snorkel gear but they had quality equipment on board and helped folks in and out of the boat as needed.

    My husband and I had such a memorable experience snorkeling at the Molokini crater. Definitely something we’d recommend and do again ourselves. Sarah and Alex from Makena Coast Charters were an amazing team, and made sure we were safe and had everything we needed.

  • Turtle Town Only, No Molokini Crater

    Unfortunately, we only stopped at the turtle town for snorkeling. We had registered for the tour especially because of the snorkeling at Molokini Crater and were therefore very disappointed that (probably due to weather) the snorkeling did not take place there. If necessary, you could have used the time better and planned to drive to both spots (other groups could snorkel at the Molokini Crater at the same time).

    We had a really lovely day with Captain Matt and first mate Shelby. They were helpful with all of our family members from age 80-9. We saw a ton of fish and turtles. I appreciated the shorter day from Kihei rather than a 5-6 hour trip on a bigger boat. My daughter is still taking about the reef shark that we saw!

  • Whale watching was a free bonus!
