The boat ride to and from the spot was incredibly quick, and the crew kept the energy fun and lively the whole way. Once we arrived, they gave us plenty of snorkeling time and were so patient with everyone. A perfect experience from start to finish!

We had a great trip to Molokini Crater with Captain Matty and Jake. It was a quick boat ride to the crater, and the snorkling was fantastic, even saw a couple reef sharks
Sheryl_W, Jul 2026
This was a great snorkel experience. Just 2 hours, 20 minute boatride out and back. With a little over an hour to snorkel. We were back for breakfast and able to enjoy the rest of our day doing other things. When vacations are just a few days, i hate taking up over a half day with one excursion. This is great if you want to squeeze in the snorkel experience without using up a lot of your time.

Loved the experience. The two staff were great, the water was beautiful and the wildlife we saw, including a seal, was incredibly magical.

Very knowledgeable and friendly guides. Fast and fun ride to the crater. Absolutely beautiful snorkeling.

Captain Sean & Lara were top notch. Although the waves were rocking, they ensured we had a great time. The fish wrre incredible. We even had an unexpected False Killer Whale Sighting. It was a top notch trip!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Wow, what a trip! A False Killer Whale sighting?! That is incredibly rare and something most people never get to witness in a lifetime on the water, you were so lucky! Moments like that are what make Maui so magical. Captain Sean and Lara are rockstars, keeping the good times rolling even when the ocean has other plans is a true skill, and they deliver every time. Hope to have you back with us again someday! Mahalo!

Absolutely a terrific trip. I loved that it was a shorter experience which allowed me to go do this and have the rest of my day to explore. The two mates on the boat were fun and experienced behind the wheel. Thank you again for a great time. Amy
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you, Amy! We love hearing that the trip fit perfectly into your day. Our crew had a great time out there with you, hope the rest of your Maui adventures were just as good! Come back and see us anytime!

One word - Dramamine. Didn’t know we got sea sick until now, but the ride there itself wasn’t bad. We saw fish but only a few and they were the same kinds, no sea turtles. :( could’ve saved the money and just snorkeled at Black Rock beach! Where we actually saw turtles too!
John_S, May 2026
Amazing crew and great snorkeling site for me and my teens, we all love d the boat ride. The crew were awesome and make sure we were safe and had fun. Boat ride was a bit bouncy, so if you aren’t in good health or have serious back issues you might want to find a bigger boat option, the swells around 11:00am we’re getting a bit rough and while very fun, it was wet and bumpy. That added to the experience, but may be a little much if that doesn’t sound like your idea of fun. I’d book again with this crew without hesitation. 10/10 experience all the way around.
Barbara_J, May 2026
Great captain and co-captain who know the waters and were patient with everyone on board. The boat was a quick ride and the groups was small as promised. This is the excursion for those wanting a short but successful snorkeling excursion.
Etis_S, May 2026
We had such a fun time snorkeling with this company. The crew members were incredibly nice, helpful, and made the whole experience even better. The waters were beautiful, blue, and very peaceful. We also got lucky enough to see a whale shark, which we learned is something very uncommon in Maui. The crew did an amazing job helping everyone spot it and making sure we could enjoy the moment safely. Definitely an unforgettable experience and highly recommend this tour!
Jesse_S, May 2026
Very cool experience. The water was beautiful, deep, and clear. Definitely a worthwhile trip. Would recommend.
Rebecca_S, May 2026
Great trip for beginners. SO MANY FISH! Quick boat ride. The guide was very safety and environmental focused.
Tisha_T, May 2026
It was excellent! The snorkeling is amazing. The staff was very accommodating & great communication.
Romano_C, May 2026
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!

This is perfect to fit into a short time schedule. Had a great experience and the crew was wonderful, informative and safety was the number one. Snorkel and fins included and if you need a floater they have that too. Next time hoping to do their 5 hour tour
Jennifer_T, May 2026
Very fun, uncomplicated and beautiful experience. Clear and friendly before boarding, good and comfortable motor boat ride (so note, a bit bumpy and wet due to type of transport), and clear instructions and advice on snorkeling. And….we saw a whale shark!!! Told that was like seeing a unicorn. And a ton of other beautiful sea life. Just what we wanted- a good snorkel experience and appreciation of nature.
Grace_B, Apr 2026
Such a fun time!!! Everyone onboard was professional and entertaining. The captain pivoted and brought us to a different part of the island to snorkel due to the currents. And it was incredible! We saw a ton and had a lot of time uninterrupted in the water!
Xavier_P, Apr 2026
The company and staff in the boats were the best!! Tim and Jaime were so amazing and treated everyone like ohana! Went the extra to make someone very nervous about the water very comfortable and stayed with them until they felt ready to go alone! One of the best experiences!!
Leahe_M, Apr 2026
It was so enjoyable to go out to the crater and see the marine life below the water, the 2 hour experience was the perfect length
Luke_R, Apr 2026
You want a fun experience? Well than you've clicked the right snorkeling company. Speed boat, good vibes and a fun level of professionalism. These guys clearly enjoy what they are doing and it shows. Would highly reccomend 10s across the board.
Christian_H, Apr 2026

Super great experience! The boat was quick and even left a little earlier since everyone showed up on time. Lara and Tony were great hosts. The Crater is beautiful and loved that we got a full 2 hours of snorkeling to take our time. Would recommend this tour to everyone, the boat is very fast and a fun ride. I tend to get seasick but did not experience any extreme symptoms. Must see in Maui!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
We’re so happy to hear you’d recommend our tour! We’ll be sure to let Lara and Tony know of your praises, and how awesome that you were able to enjoy the ride without any seasickness, what a win! It sounds like you caught Molokini at a beautiful moment and really got to take your time out there, which is exactly what we hope for.
We hope to adventure with you again someday and see you back at Molokini!

Julia_M, Apr 2026
Booked this just a couple days before our trip as we were snorkeling other places and really wanted to see Molokini. So glad we added this adventure! Snorkeling was some of the best - felt like you were inside an aquarium! Loads of fish!! Quick boat ride to the spot. Crew was great
Rebecca_V, Apr 2026
The zodiac tour to Molokini was awesome! It's the fastest way to get there and so much fun. The snorkeling was fantastic, water is so clear. Our crew took great care of us, I dropped my phone in the water and a crew member dove in and retrieved it for me!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Oh how great we were able to retrieve your phone, what a save!! We’re so glad we could help avoid that loss!
We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to the crew, they’ll love hearing it!
We hope to adventure with you again another day!

Audrey_J, Apr 2026
Super efficient snorkeling. 2hrs out and back float and see all the amazing sea life! They were great with talking you through what to expect, what to do, what not to do. We saw a humpback whale and gave us facts about them, and facts about the surrounding islands near Molokini.
Laura_B, Mar 2026
Our guides were friendly, informative and gave clear instructions. First time snorkeling and had a delightful time
