Not worth it!

The crew did not interact much with the passengers, which made the experience feel a little impersonal. Unfortunately, the food was also subpar and didn’t meet our expectations. The snorkeling was probably the biggest disappointment. The snorkeling area was not very impressive, with very little coral and very few fish to see. Overall, the experience was underwhelming, especially considering what we were hoping for from a Hawaii snorkeling excursion

🐢 Great snorkeling experience

I had a great time on this snorkeling tour! We had a beautiful time in the water, seeing so many fish and corals. I didn’t get to see any turtles myself, but some of the others did, and overall it was such a fun experience. The team was also very kind and patient when I was a little late because of traffic, which I really appreciated. 🌊🐠🤙

Great snorkel experience! Very well organized, fun, and safe snorkel adventure! Even though we didn’t get to Molikini due to the high winds, Coral Gardens was beautiful and we saw lots of colorful fish and coral!

Very disappointed

Don't count on going to Molokini on the afternoon trip. They will take you to some coral gardens that are supposed to also have turtles. We saw some not very exciting coral and a few fish. Very disappointed. The boat Malolo was nice and the crew as well.

Great time!!

A must do tour if you’re in Maui. We weren’t able to snorkel Molokini due to high winds and ended up doing the coral gardens instead. Still beautiful nonetheless. The captain was very knowledgeable and had our safety and comfort in mind. The crew was also very friendly and knowledgeable. I’d definitely recommend this for anyone looking for a Maui snorkeling experience. I’m definitely coming back for Molokini!!!

Great trip except for the crew

Boat and snorkeling were great! The crew were all unpleasant and unfriendly. Definitely detracted from the experience

Early start is a must…

We were thrilled to get pictures taken by the guide in action kayaking and snorkeling. Do not take anything with you that you do not want to get wet. The guide will store your phones & keys. The guide will assist you with everything so no need to worry. Is best to go early in the morning when the water is & less people.
