Glad we found one of Boss Frog’s ads on the visitor guide at our hotel. The trip was wonderful, we had about 35 people on the boat, so we had plenty of room on the boat itself and it didn’t get too crowded when we got in the water to snorkel. Chelsea and Dan and the Captain (ahh didn’t get his name) were all friendly and accommodating. Our group also had one elderly, she had an enjoyable time just hanging out on the boat as well. PLUS on the way back, we saw a few whales quite close to the boat and even a couple dolphins!! Made for such an exciting ride back. Highly recommend!

I booked this trip the night before with my 5 friends, and we were pleasantly surprised at how much fun we had! The crew made sure everyone had a blast, and Capt Nat, Tim, and the naturalist Arjuna were great. Good service, great food and bevvies, and even saw some turtles!

I was skeptical because the price difference in excursions but this was a great trip. The breakfast and lunch are nothing spectacular but it was just as described so there is nothing to complain about and I appreciated that they did a "happy hour" on the boat ride back where drink were $3. The crew was very helpful and I thought the captain was pretty funny. My kids were free as they were 6 and under but they only had one mask for kids so if you plan to bring your kids it likely makes sense to bring your own masks. Molokini was not the best snorkeling as we were advised to stay 20 feet back from the wall for safety but you need to get close to the wall to get into the shallower area to see fish close up. It was still an impressive formation and the water was crystal clear down 30 feet. There were schools of fish around the boat that my kids had fun swimming in. Turtle town was to murky so they took us to Coral Gardens and I was blown away by this location. The water was a little choppy but the water was crystal clear and the coral was beautiful and only ~10 feet deep and ~20 feet down to the sandy spots. We saw several sea turtles and two huge ones were just camping out on the sea floor. I saw an octopus and eel as well. This boat seemed to leave earlier than others so we were the first boat to both spots, which I thought was great because after 20-30 minutes everyone else showed up and both spots got crowded. We saw lots of whales as well. We saw whales closer on this excursion than we did on our whale watching excursion. Only difference was that this captain doesn't spend the whole time telling you about the whales, just points them out.
