A lovely motor-sailing day excursion with fantastic snorkeling, friendly & helpful crew, wonderful food and good drinks.

5.00This was a terrific day excursion. Capt Brandon & crew members Joey, Jess and others did a fantastic job. They made sure everyone was safe and had a wonderful time. The snorkeling at Molikini was beautiful and the trip allowed everyone ample time to snorkel and swim. The food and drink were delicious and ample, but it might be helpful for some guests if there more vegetarian options available. We are sailors and chose this adventure in part because it was advertised as a "performance" sailing trip, but we only sailed for one hour or so, and most that was motor sailing. Nevertheless, we still had a fantastic time and this trip was far better than just going out on a motor yacht. Thank you for the fun day :).
Fun, safe, small group

5.00This trip exceeded our expectations. A gorgeous sail to Molokini, with loads of humpback whales seen en route and dolphins to greet us going back. The snorkeling was perfect in terms of crystal clear waters brimming with colorful fish and undersea creatures. The captain and crew were so welcoming and attentive to all our needs. Breakfast, lunch and cocktails were very nice too. The experience was a highlight, well worth the cost of the trip.

5.00Great crew. Smaller groups. Reef was beautiful and water super clear, not a lot of fish so not the best snorkeling experience but sail was great as was food and saw a large pod of dolphins along the way which made the trip.
Great snorkeling excursion

1.00Operator cancelled due to low customer volume. Trip Advisor passed the email cancelling my activity but Trip Advisor is making the refund process a nightmare.
Awful experience

1.00Do not book this excursion. If there are not enough filled spots for the trip (10 people or more) they cancel, but will not notify you until the day before at 5 pm, leaving you scrambling to find another tour last moment. They will not update you at all either. My partner and I were the only ones who had booked, and they failed to give any indication that they had not filled enough spots. They attempted to put us on a tour for another day, which only had 4 other people booked, but we found another tour instead with better communication.

5.00Guys absolutely outdone themselves. Amazing vessel, food, vibes and music was just right. If you’re looking for less mainstream experience - this is it. 11 out of 10

4.00The crew was warm, welcoming and created a fun vibe for the passengers. We were running late due to traffic and they waited an extra 15 minutes. Unfortunately we rushed onto the ship without paying for parking and our car was towed when we returned. We enjoyed the experience but ended up feeling a bitter picking up our car from the tow yard. Although it’s not the crews job, I think everyone should be given the QR code before entering the ship.
