The experience was awesome with friendly staff helping with the complete tour snorkeling breakfast lunch !
Captain Aaron and his crew Josh and Aaron were absolutely fantastic! Just before embarking we were offered the best overnight oats! Throughout our excursion the food and drinks were plentiful and delicious. Snorkeling at Molokini was stunning and the time spent with the turtles was so memorable. Captain Aaron surprised us all with a huge bonus- a chance to see a mama whole with her calf and escort. This was spectacular. We highly recommend Pac Whale for snorkeling excursions and truly appreciate their dedication to protecting the environment 👍
The Molokini and Turtle arches tour was great! The staff was amazing and did a good job or explaining the fish you would see, Maui history, and were helpful while snorkeling. The breakfast was good. For lunch- they actually grill the chicken, hot dogs and veggie burgers- good Mac salad too! The snorkeling at Molokini was incredible- the water is so clear and beautiful and you can see everything. The boat is big, has bathrooms and enough space to walk around. Getting in and out of the water was also easy- highly recommend this tour!
We paid to snorkel at Molokini crater and then go to a place to snorkel with turtles, eventually we were not taken to either place, supposedly because of bad weather however we know of other people who did go to Molokini that day. I don't give them a star because the staff is very friendly and attentive, the service inside the boat is very good and the food quite decent if you consider you are on a boat. But if it was disappointing not to do the activity as contracted
Thank you so much for coming out with us. I am sorry to hear that the ocean conditions made for unsafe snorkeling at Molokini and that you were taken to areas that offered safer conditions. Customer safety is our number one priority. There may have been some operators that went to Molokini, but they may operate with different safety standards. In any case you were disappointed in your experience, and although we can't control ocean conditions, I welcome you to reach out to me directly at johngaskins@pacwhale.com to discuss a partial refund. I look forward to hearing from you.
Maybe 4th or 5th time with these folks. Have done others, but these guys have biologists on board explaining a lot all day. 5 hours is just right, with 2 - 1 hour snorkel stops. Did plenty of stops for whales and dolphins too. Crew just looked after us the whole time…fun!
We had am amazing trip! The guides were wonderful, knowledge, safe and fun.
First class operation and staffing onboard, in the water, and at the ship/store. Served both breakfast & lunch during 5-hour trip. As a bonus, saw lots of whales & activity en route. Highly recommended.
What a great time! Captain Emily was a great host. Plenty of room on the boat - up on sun deck or below in the shade. Efficient process for getting and returning snorkeling equipment. Tasty lunch - safe trip out and back. Great trip for beginners or getting wet in Maui your first time. Turtles weren’t bad either!
Molokini was all it’s said to be. We saw so many fish and had a wonderful time! The crew was super friendly and the whole trip was amazing!
I've been snorkeling many, many times, in Hawaii, Mexico and the Caribbean. The water in the Molikini crater is the clearest I've ever seen. The crew was great and the boat was in great condition.
