Superb Snorkeling Tour - Excellent time and well worth it for the experience. Both Captain Matt and Jess are great- super kind, helpful, and care about your experience. You can tell they are passionate about what they do and want to provide a good trip. Boat is new, nice. I have my own snorkel gear that I utilized, but my wife and mostly everyone else used the snorkel gear provided- which is nice, good quality snorkel gear. We were on the 7am tour to beat the heat and have good visibility. First stop at Molokini was crystal clear and had tons of fish, coral life to see. Second stop at Turtle Town gave us the opportunity to swim up close and personal with multiple turtles! Lots of fish and more coral life to see at TT, as well. Snacks, sandwich, juice and water were provided and hit the spot after snorkeling for a couple of hours. Boat ride is fairly smooth and brief- only about 15 mins to get to the first stop at Molokini. TT is on the way back in basically. Excellent trip- highly recommend!

Awesome experience - Awesome experience! Got to see a wide variety of fish and even turtles! A good solid 2 hours of snorkeling; 1 hour at the crater, 1 hour at Turtle Town. Group size was about 20 people, though there were a few other snorkel groups in the dive areas but did not feel crowded at all. Well worth it.

Breathtaking - Wonderful snorkeling experience. I’m not a big swimmer but being able to snorkel and see those beautiful fish (so many), the birds, and the sea turtles, such an amazing experience. People don’t know what they’re missing until they try. Contour your fears and just do it, it’s well worth it. Our tour guides Matt and Lucia were top notch. Thank u for the experience and memory.

Lovely trip - Wonderful crew, beautiful boat, lovely trip. Wish it was a little longer, maybe one more spot to visit. Sandwiches were left to be desired and the vegan options ran out, they should make you confirm your choice before trip.
