Great hosts, amazing trip, highly recommend. Snorkeling was lots of fun. Saw amazing whales- including whales breaching!

Don’t go if small boats make you feel uneasy. Book before the whales leave as this was advertised as whale watching but no information stating when this would not be the case.

Wow!!! Ben and Brandon could not have been better hosts!! Surprisingly we had a small group (5). This allowed us tons of extra time and Brandon and Ben did everything they could to fill every minute! We were able to circle the crater and visit 3 different and very distinct areas. Ben was even able to spend some time in the water with us to point things out. They made sure the kids and adults were well taken care of and everyone’s skill level was met. Absolutely the best snorkeling experience I’ve ever had!!

Wonderful experience! We saw whales on way to Molokini (5 in all!) and were even able to hear them underwater at the crater. The snorkeling was great. Fish galore, more sea urchins than you’d think possible, we even saw an eel undulating its way across the bottom. Our crew were fun, helpful and made the experience a blast. If you are on the fence just book it. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

Once we started our trip was very cool, we ride the boat trough very beautiful water, super clean and suddenly we saw whales, mom and a baby it was so cool and finally we ended up over a very special place, where you will be able to swim and see lots of beautiful fish. I love swimming so I enjoyed every second of it. Boat captain and his helper were very friendly!

Terrible customer support. I didn’t get to experience this snorkeling tour because the time listed was incorrect and information provided was wrong. Also no one bothered to notify me about the changes or contact me.

Captain Brandon and Katie made this experience amazing! My husband and I both said this was our favorite part of our Maui vacation. The classic rock music that played while we cruised through the water fit the vibe perfectly. Just the ride itself was exhilarating! Snorkeling was awesome and the whale watching was a once in a lifetime experience. We saw a couple whales breach right in front of us 6 times in a row! Others on the boat had been on whale watching tours before and have never seen anything like what we saw. Loved every second! Definitely recommend.

My afternoon tour started off well with pickup at the picnic tables by the boat dock. There are restrooms and parking there. Stephanie gave us an orientation. Then we boarded the boat captained by Tim. Both Stephanie and Tim were great. They really love doing the whale watching part of the tour. We saw two male whales, a mother and a little baby. We saw the baby whale jumping up almost out of the water many times. So neat!
They mentioned that there isn't always good weather in the afternoon to visit Molokini crater, but the weather was great for us. Molokini was a really good snorkel adventure. Our group circled half the crater before we got tired. We saw lots of fish. I particularly like the Needlefish which I haven't seen before, but saw many of at this site. After snorkeling, we did a little more whale watching.
I highly recommend this tour. Just watch the weather if you're going in the afternoon.
