Not what I expected!

We did the afternoon snorkeling, it was not what we expected. It’s 3 hours total only 1 hr is actually snorkeling time, which went really fast. The water is beautiful dark blue. What I didn’t realize is that we would be in 25+ feet of water so it was a bit overwhelming trying to snorkel with a bunch of people and there where not many different fish to see. The crew was awesome on the boat. We ate hot dogs, chips, and cookies and the way back.

The crew were friendly and made my family members feel at ease. It was a little disappointing that there was not more fish in the area, but I would imagine this may be due to time of day or because people keep going out to the same area. The crew did manage the trip and people onboard well and were polite and helpful.
Don’t Wait to Go!!

Just being able to snorkel. Got cancelled twice. But finally did it. It was beautiful and would definitely do it again. Water was cold but once you seen the reef and fish all was good. The tour guide that did ours were great Mahalo 😊
Great snorkelling!

The crew was nice, however food was not what is on the pictures. Hotdogs, salad and cookies. If you don’t eat pork bring your lunch. We never get sea sick but the waves were too much on the way back.
awful experience, trip cancelled
anisha_r
, May 2022
My snorkeling tour was cancelled one hour prior. Someone from the tour called at 1130 and said 0100 pm tour is cancelled without an explanation or reasoning for cancellation(the weather was fine too, so doesn’t make sense). We had planned our short stay accordingly, so it ruined our entire trip. If it was to be cancelled, the least they could have done is called us the day prior , and we could have utilized our day, gone to Hana early morning or done sth else. very disappointed!
Underwhelming Array of fish and coral here

The boat ride, equipment and setup in general was good. The staff are knowledgeable, friendly and helpful and they provide a safe and easy experience ( we even had non swimmers on this trip who were helped to feel safe in the water) What we didn’t know is that the afternoon boats only go to Molokini about 2 times a week due to weather — so the AM boats have access to the areas which have more fish and turtles.. Everyone was out of the water before the hour was up since there wasn’t a lot to see— what we saw was nice but not much more than what is available in front of our condos in Napili… so i would like to go again on a morning boat to Molokini - next trip here!
One advantage of this PM boat is that it was not crowded- about 16 people, so that was very pleasant for the boat ride and ease of getting in and out of the water..
Great staff and...

When checking reviews it seemed many reviews stated that the captian doesn’t consider going to Molokini at all that its really just a marketing tactic to get people to book the nonrefundable reservation- the weather conditions were amazing the day we booked moments before so certainly we thought there would be no reason we wouldn’t be going to the island… that wasn’t the case- the captian lead off with “if you look over there you will see the grey clouds and bad weather conditions, so to play it safe we will be going to the coral reefs today”
The skies were clear as far as the eye could see! Everyone on the boat was very confused….
The reefs are cool but if wanting to book Molokini then stay away from this company!

Wonderful experience, crew was great! Visibility was beautiful, perfect for snorkeling. The only thing I would recommend on the afternoon boarding, eat lunch prior. It stated lunch was provided, however you do not eat until you are on your way back- which was around 3pm.

Awful. Weather was terrible so the trip should’ve been called off. They went ahead just to claim the cash. We got nowhere near the crater
Worst snorkeling experience
joypreet_b
, Apr 2022
The worst snorkeling experience of my life! That decide at the last minute whether they will take us to Molokini or Coral Gardens and they chose Coral Gardens. Snorkeling at CG is a joke! We saw a total of 10 fish in the water and some corals . I saw more sea life in the water at my hotels beach! I know Molokini is amazing but the “last minute” decision taken by them to go to CG is the main problem. Also “lunch” is just a dry bun/hotdog! Long story short : if you are not 100% sure they are taking you to Molokini, do not sign up for this!!

Felt very safe. Crew was always in the water with us and my family got to relax and enjoy themselves. I didn’t have to be the life guard and got to enjoy the adventure myself. Would highly recommend.

The boat was safe and filled to capacity. We saw a fair variety of fish. It was too windy to go molokini unfortunately but Coral gardens was a fine backup. Tone is set from the top down. There was a strong push for gratuity.
