Amazing experience! - ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! We saw turtles, fish, reefs and several whales as well. Our amazing crew of Alex and Sarah went out of their way to make this a great experience. Alex would navigate to the best spots and Sarah made sure we were well equipped with gear and snacks. Sarah also took amazing underwater pics and videos that she shared. 100% would recommend!

Family friendly. Took us... - Family friendly. Took us to the best spot at the crater to snorkel. The group we were in had a medical emergency and it was handled extremely well and we all were offered an additional snorkeling trip that afternoon. Alex and Sarah were fantastic.

Excellent morning excursion on water - Very comfortable raft-type of boat; plenty of room for everyone. Decent snorkeling at Molokini. Many turtles at the turtle cleaning station, various ages & sizes. Could get very close to them. On our boat ride back, we also saw a few whales. First mate, Lucia, provided lots of interesting information about the wildlife we saw. Lovely morning activity all around.

Loved Our Snorkeling Adventure - We had a wonderful time on our snorkeling trip. Both snorkeling locations were fabulous. We really enjoyed the turtle location. Our tour guide, Alex, and his assistant, Sarah, were extremely friendly and so helpful. Alex was very knowledgeable about whales and shared lots of information about them and about the area in general. Alex had a very fun and outgoing personality which made our adventure even more fun. We loved his humor!! Sarah was very sweet and caring about each of us. We would definitely use this company for future snorkeling trips. A huge thanks to Alex and Sarah for a wonderful experience.

Fantastic experience - The crew was funny and really experienced. We had a great time with Alex and Matt. We could even spot whales from a distance and having a chance to swim so close to sea turtles (while respecting their space) was like living a dream.

Snorkeling from Kīhei - Very efficient, smaller group on boat and drinks/food were great. Stops at Molokini were great and water super clear saw things I've not seen before. Crew wasn't too much but gave necessary info to be safe and have good experience with helpful info shared.
