Great experience! The water was a bit choppy but the tour guides warned us before we left and offered a refund or to re-book the participants who weren’t comfortable with the weather/water conditions. It was a fun excursion!

I recommend sitting at the front! Great time and beautiful sights. Captain was very knowledgeable and played great music!
The location of the boat ramp was very convent and pretty. The captain and crew were very knowledgeable and helpful. They explained history, geology, and a little biology. And they were fun. The number of fish species observed was simply amazing. It was like being painted into a colorful moving masterpiece. It was so cool!!!!

So much fun and great snorkeling!!
The captain was knowledgeable and got us out there quickly. We had plenty of time to snorkel.
Overall a great experience. Captain Tony was very knowledgeable on the history of the snorkel site and very charismatic. The crew made us aware of the less than ideal sea conditions but it was a safe ride out and back. It was great being with a smaller group, as you didn’t feel crowded while snorkeling. I would definitely recommend checking them out.
The tour guides were so nice!! Nick and (sorry I forgot the other guides name), were so kind and patient with us first time snorkelers! They even took us to a second location trying to show us some sea turtles. Very good; would definitely recommend!
*Do not eat right before this trip lol we learned the hard way with all the bumpy waves.
I am not a swimmer and have never snorkeled. The team were amazing and made everyone feel comfortable and had a blast at the same time. Such a great experience and I cannot give enough stars!!!
First time snorkeling, mixed experience was able to snorkle for 15-20 mins, felt sea sick after and threw up a few times. The staff was good but could have supported me a bit more.
The water was so clear and I did see many fishes but wasn't comfortable enough to go towards the crater stayed near the boat throughout.
While the trip was cancelled due to weather, the Redline Rafting staff were great. They prioritized safety and a memorable experience (hurricane effects had clouded up visibility in the waters) in their consideration to cancel. There also worked exceptionally hard to make sure the refund went through Viator.

Thank you so much for your praise and we so appreciate the acknowledgment of prioritizing safety for our passengers! We hope we can get you out on the water with us when the weather improves and mahalo!

The crew was knowledgeable and experienced. We had a fun time and look forward to doing whale watching with them in February.
Did the 2 hour, 7am. Dani and Josh were great! Made us feel safe and went over procedures pre, during and after. It is a bumpy ride as they get you to the crater in 15 min so I don’t recommend if you’re prone to motion/ sea sickness or prepare ahead of time. One unforgettable experience in the big ol blue. 🙌🏽
The tour guides were nice and friendly. The boat was prompt. You get to see a lot of pretty fish. The current can be rough at times.
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!
Response from Host, Jul 2026
What high praise thank you so much! This is exactly what our 2-hour tour is all about! We designed it to be the perfect balance of fast-paced fun on the water and quality time in it. Our crew loves keeping the energy up on the ride out, and once you're in the water they make sure everyone gets the most out of every minute!

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
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you so much! Captain Matty and Jake make a great team out there and we're so glad they delivered an awesome Molokini experience for you! And reef sharks? Those sightings never get old! We hope to see you out there again!

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!

Super great experience. Guides were so informative and helpful and just the perfect amount of time to snorkel without feeling like it was too much. Would do again.
Amazing!! Hosts were excellent and made the whole experience fun. They were accommodating for everyone - all abilities and ages. Would 1000% recommend
Quick two hour snorkel trip. Beautiful fish, cool fast boat. Experience and the guides were great!!!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
So glad you had a great time! The fish put on a show as always, and our crew loves what they do , happy to hear it came through! Hope to have you back out on the water soon!

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!
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.
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.
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!
Very cool experience. The water was beautiful, deep, and clear. Definitely a worthwhile trip. Would recommend.
Great trip for beginners. SO MANY FISH! Quick boat ride. The guide was very safety and environmental focused.
