Excellent Snorkeling at Molokini Crater via Zodiak boat from Maalaea Harbor. Excursion included lunch and turtle watching. Highly recommend!
Spectacular Snorkeling

This tour was exactly what I was looking for! Snorkeling with turtles and the crater was spectacular! The guides were fantastic, we always felt safe.
Incredible snorkel/turtle experience!!

We just returned from our Crater Snorkel and Turtle Swim…I can’t say enough about our tour guides Esteban and Ryan!! They truly made our adventure this morning a one of a kind experience!! They were fun and knowledgeable. They called you by your first name(how they memorized our names so quickly…I have no idea)which made you immediately feel welcomed. They kept constant watch…so you always felt safe and well taken care of. Giggle recommend any tour with these guys. The boat itself was awesome!! We have several in our group who are prone to sea sickness and this boat provides such a smooth ride that no one had any issues!! The turtles were swimming all around us and the coral reefs and tropical fish were everywhere!! You got a continental breakfast as well as lunch. Worth every dime!! Thank you Ryan and Esteban for an incredible Hawaiian experience!!
A Must Do

This was our first snorkeling experience, and we both had a blast. Captain and crew were great. This yellow boat was the perfect size, & even had a toilet. Molokini Crater is not to be missed! My husband is a bit afraid of the ocean, but he felt very safe and secure. Highly recommended.
Must do!

This was one of the highlights of our trip! Swam with sea turtles and the crater was simply amazing! The clearest water and best fish on our trip. We snorkeled on three of the islands and this excursion was the best!
Snorkeling and Whales

We had a great overall experience. Our awesome crew of Captain Brian and JJ made it fun and informative. We even got to see whales. We would definitely do it again.
DO THIS TOUR!!

I can’t say enough good things about this tour!! The staff are very informative and helpful! The amount of guests is smaller than most snorkel tours which makes it so much better; way less crowded. We saw so many turtles and then headed to the reef where we saw all different kinds of fish and coral. We were lucky and actually saw 2 whales playing too! Definitely book this tour it will not disappoint!!
Fun trip!

Amazing experience!

Great experience!

Our captain was Ryan and he was very kind and helpful. We saw lots of turtles at our first stop and plenty of fish at the crater. I appreciated the knowledge and history he shared with us along the way and at each stop. Equipment was easy to use and worked well. Smooth ride even with a little wind on the way back. Lots of fun!
Also, the sandwiches and drinks/snacks were a great plus. Definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience from start to finish. Well organized, smooth experience with fanatic things to see! We selected this because we wanted to avoid a huge group outing. This was a much smaller group than some of the other tour groups, which I felt gave a great, personalized experience. The turtle cove was amazing, we started there and saw at least 6 different turtles that just hung around with us for the entire snorkeling experience. We were the only boat there, so it felt like a private event!
We followed it up with the crater where we got to see a huge number of fish, eels, and even an octopus.
After snorkeling, they had a great selection of snacks and lunch for us available, as well as some Maui gold pineapple!
On the way back we even caught a few whales.
Overall this was an awesome experience. The boat and equipment was all fantastic, the crew was helpful, experienced, funny, and gave some great bits of information about the animals, locations, etc. a 10/10 experience!

Best snorkel trip ever!

It was all fabulous. But the surprise appearance of a mother and baby humpback whale put the experience over the top. Brand and Joe made it fun and safe for everyone
A must do in Maui!
addisonr128, 05-02-2023
This was one of the best excursions I have ever done! The crew was amazing and so fun. Not only did we see turtles but received a free show to many humpback whales. Including a few breaches! This was a cherry on top to a fantastic tour. Would highly recommend for anyone visiting Maui.
Phenomenal way to see and experience Maui from the waterside. Whales, Turtles and Monokini reef
brettlK5007IT, 04-02-2023
Capt Brad and Estobon made this an extraordinary morning in and on the water. From breaching hump back whales, to seeing rays, to snorkeling at Turtle Cove to snorkeling at Monokini, they took the time to be personable and knew all our name’s by end of the day. Offered ready assistance and guidance as to where to go , how to be safe and all with a great dose of humor and killer play list for the day. The knowledge that was passed w information on the islands and culture made it special vs just being another group of people on a boat for 4 hours. These guys rock. Boat is fast , quiet and comfortable even when it got a bit nautical. Highlight of the trip to Maui.

Breath taking! So worth it!

We experienced the best snorkeling on Maui. Hundreds of fish, moray eel and an octopus. Not to mention whales, manta ray and spinner dolphins while we ate lunch. Turtles too! Highly recommend.
