Pushing boundaries
Rebecca_H

I love being out on the water. I enjoyed the ride as much as the snorkeling. I get a little nutty in the head trying to swim with too many people around me. Every time I ventured out to find space I was scolded to come back to the group. The crew was great and took good care of us. The fish and coral were beautiful. The water was was super clear.
swimming at the crater...

swimming at the crater was great. swimming with the turtles was crazy. should not go when there is a large population of boaters. my friends daughter got hit in the head with the boat.
Solid company but NO FISH
Edward_W
, Aug 2022
With all due respect I would not recommend this tour for anyone right now. The execution, planning, and service were all EXCELLENT. The fish are not abundant at this time in Molokini and this is dependent upon wind/sea conditions. Research this before you head out.

Awesome experience as advertised. Crew awesome and helpful. We had a family group of 6 adults. We saw tons of fish and swimming sea turtles. I would use them again!

Worst crew ever seen
Sidharth_M

Worst crew ever seen and they were inhumane. Think twice before booking. I have seen other snorkeling so easily I can compare the crews and overall experience.
Response from Host , Aug 2022
Oh no! We are sorry to hear about this. Most of our reviews compliment our crew on their exceptional customer service and attention to detail. We apologize if your experience was anything less than wonderful. Please contact us on your next trip to Maui, we would love the chance to win you over.
Fun trip. Loved the turtles! Two thumbs up.

Fun snorkel adventure for the whole family. Beautiful day, knowledgeable crew, and awesome turtles! Will book again on our next Maui vacation.

The crew members were all very friendly. Captain was very informative and knowledgeable about our trip. My son had fear of snorkeling because he doesn’t know how to swim, Ryan one of the crew members was so nice and understanding. He helped my son overcome his fear with his strategic and encouraging attitude. This alone made our trip memorable to see my son overcome his fears and enjoy the snorkeling trip. Thanks to Ryan and the whole crew. They also have an awesome photographer Bejamin( AKA Bej) He captured the trip with his fantastic photos. I definitely recommend this voyage, if your looking for a simple and charming snorkeling trip.

Wonderful experience
Walt_S
, Jul 2022
Fantastic boat, crew, captain, boat, and experience at Molokini and Turtle Town/Makena. Got to see loads of fishes, turtles, sea life and even saw the crew catch a mahi mahi en route. My only critical suggestion is to emphasize that the 6:30 AM time is boat departure with no exceptions. I almost missed the boat because I thought one had to check in by then, but then found out I had to walk 5-7 minutes to the pier where the boat was waiting.

Viator and the company it...
Sarah_T
, Jul 2022
Viator and the company it advertises do not communicate well. I got there and they didn't have our information and made it known to us that it was an ongoing issue. I felt stressed only to have them find our info 15 minutes before boarding. Not the best feeling when they send all these confirmation codes and such but don't even use that to find our reservation. (Needs improvement)
The actual voyage was amazing and highly recommend.
Awesome!

Your crew was extremely helpful and professional. I was helped back to the boat on a surf board and helped up the stairs. I am grateful for the crew that helped me. They keep a close eye on the snorkelers.
Overrated

For being the best place in Hawaii to snorkle there really were not that many fish to see and not a lot of diversity. For the money I’m sure there are better places to go snorkeling in Hawaii. It was very overrated. The food and staff was good though.
Response from Host , Jul 2022
Best trip with this crew
Angelica_C
, Jul 2022
We had the best time!! The crew on the Malalo with captain Greg was so attentive and helpful with everything! We felt safe and comfortable, they made us laugh and had great food and drinks available as well. I’ve already told a friend who is booking a trip with them in a few weeks with her family. I will come here again someday and book with them again.
Great boat and staff!
Julie_E
, Jul 2022
Had a great day! Our group enjoyed the snorkeling, the lunch and mai tais. The staff especially JJ was so personable and friendly. Would totally recommend this boat and crew, felt safe and had an amazing day in Molokini. Recommend sitting in the fresh air in front if possible.
We had a great time!

Great time! Great staff! Lunch hit the spot! Swan with some awesome turtles ! Great Variety of fish and life out there!
Great customer service

I accidentally booked twice and didn’t realize until after the return period ended, but they still refunded my extra order. Great customer service. The snorkeling was great to boot!
Just ok
Brittany_C
, Jul 2022
It was just ok. The captain seemed more concerned about everyone getting their money's worth and the crew getting tips than making it a pleasant experience. He seemed to have a pretty negative opinion of people in general, warning us of all the terrible things people usually do. The boat was old and packed with people. We had a much better experience with a different boat and crew.
Great experience!

Awesome experience! Our trip was after Hurricane Darby, so we weren’t able to make it to turtle town due to zero visibility. We still had a great time snorkeling at Molokini. They had everything you’d need for snorkeling, the gear, flotation devices, breakfast and lunch and $3 cocktails! Maholo to Captain Carlos and Adam (I forgot the other guys name).
Awesome

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
