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.

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.

Snorkeling Bliss
Olga_P
, Jul 2022
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.

Overrated
James_H
, Jul 2022
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.

Angelica_C

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.

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.

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).
