Molokini: Tours & Tickets

We didn't know what to expect because this was our first snorkeling trip in the ocean. We arrived a little early (recommend) at the pier (make sure you pay for parking) parked and waited about an hour. Pre-boarding they were organized more than I expected, had lists of all our names, let us board and pick seats. Once under way we sailed directly to Molokini Crater (about 40 minutes) prior to arriving they outfitted all of us with gear that fit, had a class for first timers for instruction, then we snorkeled for hours on the reef at Molokini. The weather that day was a little rough so the Captain decided to keep us at Molokini, they had music, food, and towards the end served alcoholic beverages (very cheap for Maui) $2 beer and $2 mixed drinks. Be sure to bring cash to tip these awesome people, they really deserve it. The entire Crew from Captain down were awesome people. This was "ka 'oi aʻe" for me in Hawai'i....we were on our Honeymoon...Mahalo.

5 star experience. Crew was exceptional. The breakfast and lunch was wonderful and beyond our expectations for food on a catamaran. Plenty to eat and drink. Toilets on board were a nice bonus. Our family of 5 ( 3 kids ages 15,13 and 9) loved this excursion. The boat ride was relaxing and we saw an abundance of reef fish (including eel and octopus) while snorkeling. We would do this again and highly recommend if you want a relaxing boat ride and snorkel.

What an incredible afternoon. We had a fabulous time on the Calypso! Our captain was extremely thorough and helpful. The crew was superb with their service, attention to detail, instructions to everyone with the snorkeling gear and the food/drinks. We certainly lucked out with the weather and conditions, but I feel like we hit the jackpot with this boat. Wonderful job!!

I am deathly afraid of the ocean and I loved this tour because I was able to join my family on the floating blue mat at the back of the boat. Normally, i just watch my husband and daughter enjoy the snorkeling but this time I was able to join them in the water. Also, loved all the information about the ocean and preservation. WELL WORTH IT!

The snorkeling was great. The crew was very good: attentive, nice, helpful... but we were told we are lucky to have afternoon whether that was calm enough to go out.... made me wonder what the trip would have been like on a "normal" afternoon. Conclusion: do not book for the afternoon trip?
