Great Time!

The winds were too high for us to go to Molokini so we snorkeled the Pali area instead which was very nice. We had someone with us who could not swim and the guys were extremely helpful and patient with her. Due to the winds, there was only one snorkeling spot, so, Captain Carlos said that we would try to find some whales but it was mid April so the chances weren't high of spotting any. We found a competition group of whales and watched them for close to an hour. It was amazing!! Captain Carlos was full of info about whales and the staff couldn't have been more helpful!! Would definitely recommend and look forward to going again!

I love this trip so much! The crew is super nice and friendly. The captain provides excellent commentary along the way about the history and background of Molokini and the ecosystem there (bonus some dad jokes, too)! Everyone on the crew is very accommodating to the guests. The small deli lunch and breakfast was enough to keep you full and energized and not too much that you'd get seasick easily. I saw a few passengers felt seasick and the crew were very attentive to them. I recommend getting sea bands and ginger candies! They really helped me!
Molokini is super beautiful! This was my first time snorkeling and I really enjoyed it! There were wetsuits for rental on the boat but the water wasn't too cold even though it was still early in the day. We got used to it and didn't rent the suits. There were so many corals and fish! It does get crowded later during the day so I'd suggest picking the earliest time slot that you could find!
Turtle Town was also very fun! We spotted 4 turtles. The crew informed us about keeping a distance from them and everyone was very responsible! It was a very pleasant trip!
Note: There was also a professional photographer that were on board with the crew. Ash took beautiful pictures for us for a great price! It was much better than me fumbling with a camera/phone underwater. You could ask them ahead of time if there will be a professional photographer coming along for your trip to know if you should pack your camera or not!

I had a great time with my group of 6 friends. The crew was great and very informative, nice and fun! We weren’t able to go to one of the snorkeling sites due to high tide so instead we went whale watching and saw 3 Whales. Can’t recommend them enough! Can’t beat the $3 drink specials after snorkeling either! Also got a great pic of 2 out of 3 crew members, hope they see it! Thanks for an amazing time!

Disappointed

We were a little late due to a car wreck holding up traffic. I tried calling 2 times a and left a message letting them know we were going to be late. No answer. We ended up getting to the slip right at the time the boat was departing. They were literally 15 feet off the dock and they would not pull back in to pick us up. Very disappointing but they already had our money. So no reason to come back and pick us up.
Response from Host , Apr 2021
We are very sorry to hear about your experience. Sounds like you guys were late. Checkin is 30 minutes prior to departure, It's often very difficult to turn the boat around, especially with 30 other passengers onboard. We will look into it with the captain and see what happened. Again, we are very sorry you were late and missed the boat. This isn't something that happens frequently.

The crew was very nice, the boat in great shape, was prefect for the size group we had. Equipment provided was well used but in good shape. We were unable to do Turtle town because of water/weather conditions. It was very windy and made for a tough snorkel and if you got seas sick at all it would happen on that trip. Food was good quality. Just wish we had gone on a calmer day. Oh and wish we had gotten more history and commentary from the captain during our ride to and from.

Amazing tour! Small breakfast and Lunch provided, friendly and super helpful staff, all of the snorkeling gear provided which made it so easy. We only had to bring our own towels and sunscreen. The day we went the weather was beautiful and we saw so many fish and turtles on this tour, we even saw whales on our boat ride back to the harbor! The boat was clean and safety precautions were taken throughout our whole time on board. Would do this again !
