Awesome experience. Was nervous because picture of the boat looked small, but it was a good size, felt very safe & stable. Guides were incredible, took us to two extra stops because we had good conditions and strong swimmers in the group. Approximately 15-20 people in the group. Would highly recommend this tour over others given the small group size, knowledgeable guides, and personalization of the experience.
Great fun. Waters were very clear and saw many turtles and tropical fish. Boat was comfortable and not overcrowded.
Our 10 year old grandkids had a ball on this adventure! Especially loved seeing and swimming with the giant turtles. Sea was a little rough but our grandson ( 10 yr old) who swims on a swim team thought it was an outstanding adventure and enjoyed diving over and over again into the water! Lunch was good. Gave us continental breakfast while we road out to reef.
Fabulous time, Captain and crew were amazing. Friendly, helpful, informative. Couldn’t have been more enjoyable!
This snorkeling adventure with turtles at Molokini Crater was spectacular. The captain and his mates were remarkable. The snorkeling equipment was just right. The instructions from the crewmates about how to use the equipment was top notch. The snacks were delicious and hit the spot after being in the water for a bit of time. The turtles were fun to watch. There are all types of fish and sea creatures to observe while snorkeling in the clearest of waters. The captain and his crewmates were highly responsible and looked out after all of us on board. A great experience!
It was an amazing day, being able to see turtles and swim near them was wonderful! Estaban is amazing too!
Great location to take off; lovely boat ride to view the coast line and Kihe. Yummy snacks throughout trip. The snorkel stop to see turtles was very special. Very unique experience. However, the Molokini Crater snorkeling was not so good. Conditions were horrible. Super wavy, windy, saw few fish. As an experienced swimmer I was surprised how rough conditions were and they just said hop in. Probably much different experience with calm waters. No thrills trip. Guides never even introduced themselves.
This was SO fun!! I accidentally lost my snorkel in the water the first time I jumped in 🥲 My bad 😭 but the tour guides were fantastic & the trip was incredible!! I was managing my expectations because we went the day after the hurricane passed, but the reefs were so lively and the water was so clear. Highly recommend!!
a tourist trap, you cannot marvel at this, unless you have never snorkeled before. For those who have done Egypt before, skip it. 120 dollars/person is expensive for... 2 hours of snorkeling, avoid if you have had other experiences
The crew was great and very knowledgeable. Very respectable they are good people. they actually did three stops in the crater and then around the backside where it drops down 400 feet that was pretty amazing and I’ve never seen such blue water.
