Excellent tour, great staff, great snorkeling. We had the best day!
What a great experience! The crew and captain were great, the food was great. The snorkeling was fantastic. I recommend taking the boat in lieu of walking to shore which is difficult. The boat ride was half the fun. Go for it!
Amazing snorkeling, amazing friendly crew. Loved it! It was more about the education and exploration and less about entertainment which was perfect. Thank you!
Great crew and fantastic snorkeling- the Kailua pork at lunch was delicious and we got some great education on thee coral and the fish and turtles
My family of 4 really enjoyed the snorkeling trip from Lahaina. We had a great boat ride and saw many different schools of fish, turtles and dolphins on our boat ride back to the marina. The crew was very nice and helpful. They served a light breakfast and good lunch. It was definitely one of the best trips we've been on for snorkeling. It was also nice because there were only 40 people on the boat so you didn't feel crowded.
Crew was great. Captain Chris was a joy. Took us us to the right places to snorkel. Had wet suits and good gear too.
All around a fabulous experience! From the boat to the staff and food and of course the snorkeling was out of this world. We would do this again in a heartbeat. My only recommendation is that they give some guidance about the parking situation in Lahaina Harbor. Pretty much all the parking spots we could find were for just 3 hours, and the tour is 5 hours. Needless to say we now have to pay a $60 parking ticket (after we were told it would be unlikely we would get ticketed).
Captain Chris and his crew were Amazing! They were so patient and kind and helpful with my 3 boys! The snorkeling was the most beautiful I have ever experienced! Better than Cozumel, Puerto Rico, Mexico and Costa Rica! The turtles, fish and coral were so vibrant! The sailing was incredible! The breakfast was delicious and they were so kind to offer veggie burgers for our pescatarian diet. The drinks were so refreshing POG seltzer was the best! Not too sweet. Honestly I want to do it again tomorrow! such an Epic day!!
This was the best snorkel trip we’ve been on in a long time. Really nice crew. Easy going. Gorgeous boat. The snorkel sites were fabulous. And the sail home was so relaxed and fun. Make sure to try the “captain’s special” at lunch ! Can’t wait to go again. Thanks guys !
I have been on several snorkeling trips to Lanai and Molokini and I have to say this was my favorite water excursion ! It was laid back and relaxed. The crew was awesome and the food delicious! I highly recommend this!
