  • Snorkel trip

    We did this excursion with 2 adults and 2 kids, ages 14 and 20. Matt & Lucia were great - stopped a few times to see whales breaching. Not a lot of variety at the crater, but we were able to see a few turtles in turtle town.

  • Highlight of our vacation!

  • Great Snorkeling with optimal size group

    Excellent crew. Very caring. We had 2 worried swimmers in our group and the crew was super helpful. Bonus of this trip was whale sighting (unexpected). Saw lot of turtles and beautiful fishes. Will highly recommend this Snorkeling operator. Picked this based on TripAdvisor's rating and found their fee good for the services they offered. It was 3 hours in the boat with 30 minutes pre-registration time (be aware of that when you plan). This boat (compared to bigger boat I have been before) is optimal. We were < 20 people which is perfect. If you are not afraid of water but worried about ocean swimming, they give you this Yellow Floating Belt, which is ideal. We went with life vest for average swimmers (which is not necessary).

  • Amazing experience!

    Great way to spend a few hours. Snorkeling in the crater. Clear, warm water. Lots of fish to look at. On the way there and back we saw whales and dolphins. Incredible! Jamie and Nick were friendly and knowledgeable. Had some music playing and took a few extra minutes to give everyone a chance to see the whales. Mahalo.

    ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! We saw turtles, fish, reefs and several whales as well. Our amazing crew of Alex and Sarah went out of their way to make this a great experience. Alex would navigate to the best spots and Sarah made sure we were well equipped with gear and snacks. Sarah also took amazing underwater pics and videos that she shared. 100% would recommend!

    Family friendly. Took us to the best spot at the crater to snorkel. The group we were in had a medical emergency and it was handled extremely well and we all were offered an additional snorkeling trip that afternoon. Alex and Sarah were fantastic.

    Very comfortable raft-type of boat; plenty of room for everyone. Decent snorkeling at Molokini. Many turtles at the turtle cleaning station, various ages & sizes. Could get very close to them. On our boat ride back, we also saw a few whales. First mate, Lucia, provided lots of interesting information about the wildlife we saw. Lovely morning activity all around.
