This was a very fun day! Captain Greg was very humorous & all the crew were great! We first stopped at Molokini crater to snorkel. The water was very clear and we saw a good variety of fish in the reef near the crater edge (better than I expected based on reviews of Molokoni). They had a crew member on a surf board near our snorkeling area in case someone needed help. There also was a photographer (Ash) with our tour who took lots of underwater photos of everyone. We decided to purchase the pictures because they are much clearer than I could have gotten. After Molokini we went over to turtle town, but the water was murky and the waves were surging, so we didn't stay long. They had fruit, pastries, coffee & juice on the trip out to Molokini with sandwiches, chips & cookies on the return trip. Also, there was an open bar on the return trip with $3 beers! Overall this was an excellent trip! We saw much larger boats with a lot of people, but this boat was a good size with an excellent mooring space. I would highly recommend this trip! 👌

Great half-day snorkeling trip! Check-in was prompt, but we were delayed in the harbor because some people were late. The breakfast spread was good, fruit and pastries and coffee (no tea). The muffins were the best I've had in a while. The boat ride was pleasant and the crew gave great instructions and demonstrated how to use the snorkeling gear. Snorkeling at Molokini crater was fun, but the water was cold. We rented a wetsuit on the boat for $10 a piece, and I'm really glad we did! Snorkeling at turtle town was disappointing, visibility was terrible in the water so we didn't see any turtles, and there were some big waves. Not the crew's fault though, they were fantastic and really tried to find the turtles for us. Lunch was okay, sandwiches and chips, with drinks at great happy hour prices. Overall great trip!

This was a really great trip - the crew was well organized and very fun and the boat and number of people on the cruise was just right (not too crowded!). We had a great weather day - saw a lot of fish and even got to cruise around the backside of the crater. Also - the trip to turtle town was a great add-on - you will see a lot of turtles up close. One warning - this is a EARLY trip so if you are staying in Kanaapali you will be leaving your hotel before dawn. This early start works out well for avoiding crowds out at Molokini Crater. Also - the address given for parking puts you in a parking lot at a small shopping area next to the harbor. You need to pay for parking and finding your way down to the meeting place takes a couple of minutes. Recommend being early and using the store directory next to the parking lot - you have to go downstairs a level.
