Fantastic time snorkeling at Molokini. We’re fortunate enough to catch some whales as well! Captain Alex and his crew were great. Fun time with the entire family and would definitely go again.
Poor planning equals costly waste of time and money

We were unable to do our activity due to the weather. This was not the operators fault. However, they had us come to the meeting point for the trip and then told us we couldn’t do half of the trip and may be too rough of waters for any of it. THEN gave us the choice to cancel. This was after paying $110 (round trip) for an uber to take us to the meeting point. Very disappointed in this company. I know you can’t help what Mother Nature brings but you can plan better!

Alex and Lucia were wonderful host. They went out of their way to be helpful and give us the best experience possible. They tried to anticipate all of our needs. Alex is an excellent and experienced sea Captain and he kept us safe at all times.Lucia made sure we had the proper gear, was willing to troubleshoot. As an added bonus, Lucia gave us really good local spots to eat at!
Quick, fun excursion!

Great way to be charted over to a special snorkel spot! Very self-guided adventure, you can explore the area in the time given. Pack a rash guard or light jacket and that’s it! Food provided and time passes so quick out there.
Best snorkling boat, captain and company in Maui!

Amazing! Excellent communication from right after the booking process to the end. Captain and co-captain were very knowledgable, safe and understanding to us beginners. One of the best experiences I have ever been part of. Both locations are beautiful and plenty of time to enjoy them. A+ all around. Thank you!
