We booked this tour with the expectation of going to Molikini and Turtle Town, and having seen the wind weather advisories contacted the tour operator the day prior to departure. We were assured we would be contacted for any cancelations after making it clear we wanted to go to Molikini particularly.
The morning of, with strong wind gusts and a small vessel advisory they still claimed that Molikini was the goal but that they would see how the water looked. Eventually, about 10 minutes into the trip they admitted they would not be able to for safety reasons and took us to two alternative snorkel sites. While still fun, these were easily accessible from the shore and not worth the trip.
I completely understand the safety perspective and I know Molikini would have been impossible with the wind. All other tour operators were doing the same alternative sites. However, my main complaint was with the lack of communication. I'm pretty sure the crew and captain suspected what the end result would be and yet led us on with hope.
I would have preferred to know the reality ahead of time and skipped the trip if there was such a low chance of success, refund or not. I would have preferred a morning exploring shore sites on my own.
Aside from this, crew and boat were great. Food was also mediocre, but I was not expecting anything from the food. I would still recommend this tour, the price point is fair and the size of the boat is perfect. Just be sure to cancel ahead of tjme if there is any inclination of high winds, the alternative routes are mediocre at best.
