This was an incredible experience! The two man crew was fantastic. We snorkeled the entire Molokini Crater with Esteban as our guide and protector. The captain was great too, keeping an eye out for whales on the way and turtles when we got to the cove for our second snorkeling adventure. There were turtles everywhere around us. Take a go pro ! So worth it! Would definitely hire these guys again.

We had an amazing experience with Captain Ryan and Maria! We booked a 3-hour private charter for our family and we enjoyed every minute of it. The boat ride was really fun both ways and Captain Ryan played great music! We went to Molokini and it was phenomenal! We were the only ones there snorkeling in the crystal clear water! My sons got great underwater photos and go-pro footage of so many beautiful fish and creatures including a spotted Eagle ray, eels, parrotfish, porcupine fish and puffer fish. Our group had family members from 12 to 75 years old and Maria and Ryan made sure everyone was geared up correctly, were safe on the boat and in the water and were feeling comfortable and having fun. We took our time and swam the whole crater, then even got a quick look at “the drop off.” It was fantastic snorkeling with Maria because she is a marine biologist! She was so informative and full of interesting information about everything we saw. We got some nice drinks and snacks too. This is a wonderful experience with a fantastic crew!! This is our second private charter with this company and we will definitely book them again!

We had a great afternoon snorkeling Coral Gardens and then checking out Oluwalu. The boat ride was super pleasant- our caption and assistant were very attentive and excellent guides. We also got to see spinner dolphins on our way back! Would definitely book the super raft again!

Alex and crew were awesome. Whole trip they took care us really well, specially the my younger who is 5 years old. One of the crew meme we is on surf board all the time and entertained kids and some of our friends who doesn’t know swimming. He took them on surf board and showed them the reef and fish . On board drink and food selection is good, after snorkeling we ate their turkey sandwiches and they were delicious. Overall it is memorable trip, thanks to crew and brand new boat.

Our trip this week was amazing! Our group had kids and adults and both guides were so patient making sure everyone had gear that fit and felt comfortable in the water. The water had gotten a bit choppy and they found us a great spot despite the conditions. Highly recommend this for a group!! Kids and adults both loved it and the guides were fantastic!
