Best snorkeling on Maui! Turtles Galore.

This was absolutely fantastic! During the first stop we saw over a DOZEN turtles. Snorkeling next to turtles was spectacular. During the crater stops we saw lots of fish and an eel. The guides were entertaining and informative. We had so much fun. Highly recommend.

Above and beyond the entire time!

Worth every single penny and more! Everything was perfectly planned and executed. Every staff member was sweet and helpful. You can tell they love what they do. Breakfast and lunch were provided and were excellent. Just bring your own towels and reef safe, non aerosol sunscreen! Molokini felt like swimming in the fish tank at Scheels. So many cool fish and corals. Turtle bay did not disappoint, either! Less fish, but turtles! Loved it so much! Also, the open bar at the end was a perfect ending to a perfect outing!

A much do in Maui

Great snorkeling experience. Winds were strong in the morning but the crew first took us to turtle town. We saw many turtles and fish. Next they took us to the Molokini crater, it was beautiful there. So many different types of fish and beautiful coral with the crater as a backdrop. Adequate breakfast and lunch was included, and restrooms were clean. Drinks are available as well. A little note: if the winds are strong on the way back you might get soaked if you sit in the upper deck of the boat haha.

Sunset Luau was a Great Experience

This is a very good luau. The food was excellent as well as the entertainment. The location was very good as we were treated by an awesome sunset view. I am gluten free and made sure to indicate that when I reserved my tickets. The staff was very conscientious and made sure I was able to enjoy my meal. Parking directions were not clear at all and the attendant working in the garage was not helpful.

Great Snorkel Trip

Great experience on this trip! The meeting spot was only about a 10 minute drive from the hotels in the area and being on the 7am boat meant that we were the 2nd boat out there and had the Crater to ourselves! Chase and Jake were great guides. They quickly gave us a tour around the crater and then tied up on the best snorkel spot. Was supposed to only be to the crater and back, but we had some extra time so did a quick stop at turtle town too! Would definitely recommend for anyone who gets seasick as it’s a quick boat ride out and most of the time is spent snorkeling, then we’re able to get back to shore by 9am to enjoy the rest of the day!

Awesome views. Awesome snorkeling. Awesome crew.

Waves were choppier than expected and visibility was bad at Molokini. It wasn’t safe. Captain Matt found us a little spot after some searching and it was awesome. Water was warm, clear, and full of life. No one on the boat was disappointed and I’m thankful Matt took the extra time to find that perfect spot. 10/10 would go again.

So great! Do this!

What a phenomenal experience!!! This was so great! We lucked out with great weather. The boat and staff were great, so friendly, and knowledgeable. The food was so good! We definitely didn’t expect it to be that good, but the food was delicious- even our kids loved it. Snorkeling was great, we did 2 spots - saw turtles and tons of fish. Then we were lucky enough to see whales on the way back!

Snorkeling excellence

Great trip! Staff/crew were excellent. Captain skilled, knowledgeable and quite funny. We'll organized, from the gear to the food and beverage. Snorkeling was fantastic. Felt safe at all times. Don't be ashamed to use flotation! It helped to just focus on what you were seeing. Get there early for choice of seating. Parking nearer the boat is pay- easily done. Would definitely recommend.

Great Experience, Excellent Crew

We had a great time. The captain and crew were so kind and helpful. They gave us excellent information about our gear and the technique we needed. They were very safety oriented, but also very personable and fun. The crew was attentive to our needs and took great care of us. We saw sea turtles and lots of tropical fish. Definitely a 10/10 experience.
