Highly recommend snorkeling adventures to Molokini Crater and Turtle Town in Maui. Captain Matt’s expertise in piloting the boat along with his humor kept us entertained and engaged. 1st Lieutenant Lucia showed skill and elegance handling the chores of “dock off,” mooring & docking, along with making sure all guests were ready to jump in the water. We plan on using Makena Coast Charters again. Mahalo

Just do it!
Excellent experience! I've never snorkeled before, but Lucia and Matt made sure I knew what to expect, AND they had prescription goggles for people blind like me! That was so appreciated! We got the bonus with the dolphins 🐬 showing off for us too as we left the turtles!

Excellent experience
This was a fantastic experience, definitely worth the money for me as I had never done this before. I did the 7 AM departure from the Kīhei boat launch. That departure time I believe is best since the earlier in the morning the calmer the waters. Our boat was at capacity but not overly crowded and quite comfortable. We saw many colorful fish and aquatic plant life at molokini and at turtle town we saw several turtles swimming. The captain was great and I felt safe. The snorkel guides Lucia & Romina were very welcoming and friendly especially for a solo guest like me. They are certified lifeguards as well. They offered life vests and styrofoam pool noodles to make things more comfortable especially for swimmers who are not super confident. It was not physically strenuous but the hardest part was having some upper body strength to pull yourself up into the boat on a ladder from the water however the guides are there to support if needed. Snacks, cold juice/water and turkey sandwhiches were provided. I will definitely book with them again upon return to Kīhei.

Enjoyable and unforgettable journey through Molokini and Turtle Town
I had the pleasure of booking a snorkeling tour with Makena Coast Charters. Our trip was bestowed upon the Makena Mele 2 with Captain Ryan. We were blown away with the hospitality and customer service we received throughout the entirety of our trip. When we arrived at our pickup spot there was a family running a little late and the captain and crew were generous enough to wait. While no one wants to be late it would be heartbreaking for the boat to leave without you. Our captain and crew took us to Turtle Town first where we discovered so many turtles. So beautiful in their natural habitat. My sister was afraid to go in the water, but First Mate/Mermaid Michelle got in with her and stayed right with her until she felt comfortable. This is hands down the absolute best customer service I have seen. They were very personal with everyone. After our first dive we were catered with a variety of Hawaiian Sun canned juice, chips and granola bars. We then headed to Molokini and were amazed by all the beautiful fish. So many of them, I was in awe. After this final dive we were given delicious turkey sandwiches and more juice and chips. We had a beautiful trip back to shore. If you want a more intimate excursion with an excellent friendly crew be sure and get ahold of Makena Charters. We will definitely be using them again.
