Fun time on the Calypso - We had a great experience. Crew and captain were super friendly and made sure everyone had a good time. Scenery was amazing and we saw a few turtles. Overall fee for the tour was affordable and the boat was not too crowded. They provided breakfast and lunch on the boat and drinks were cheap. I would do it again.

Crowd size and staff - This is a 3 story boat with lots of people on the ride. But it doesn’t feel too packed ever because of being in and out of the water. Best experience we have ever had in Maui. The staff is kind and knowledgeable.

Exciting and worked out for a family with little ones - Checking in was easy. Eddy, the upper deck staff, and the rest of the staff was full of smiles and very helpful. The food was actually really good and plenty of it. They stopped to watch a mommy and baby whale as a bonus, since they were near. There is plenty of equipment to use. We had kids and a 5 YO and a baby. We were able to get them on boards and enjoy the adventure with us. The turtles do not mind the presence of people and float very near us. The turtles and fish are what you can see on Maui shoreline, but I still highly recommend Calypso if you want a little adventure out to Molokini. It makes for a great, fun excursion.

Fabulous Day - What a fabulous experience. More than we ever expected. The snorkling on Molokini was fun but Turtle Town was over the top. Turtle’s swimming with you, under you behind you and so many kinds of fish to see. The food was very good and healthy. The staff was so friendly, attentive and lots of aloha. Great experience.

Snorkeling excellence - Great trip! Staff/crew were excellent. Captain skilled, knowledgeable and quite funny. We'll organized, from the gear to the food and beverage. Snorkeling was fantastic. Felt safe at all times. Don't be ashamed to use flotation! It helped to just focus on what you were seeing. Get there early for choice of seating. Parking nearer the boat is pay- easily done. Would definitely recommend.

Snorkeling - It was a really enjoyable experience. We saw plenty of fish and turtles, and my older son and I even got to spot an eel, which was a highlight. They also have a water slide and designated spots on the second deck where you can safely jump off the boat, which added a lot of fun to the trip. Breakfast was continental, with muffins, sausage, coffee, and juice. The eggs were quite watery, so I chose not to eat them. Lunch consisted of deli sandwiches and chips, and they also offered a snack selection of fresh fruits and vegetables. Overall, we had a great time, and the location was easy to find.
