My wife and I are hosting a work group on Maui. We have snorkeled Molokini Crater more times than we can remember We have usually booked the large boats. The experience on the smaller Zodiac was amazing. Faster, more personal, less bodies in the water, and all of the necessities. We will never go back to the cattle boats. Captain Esteban and Jade were wonderful. We made an extra stop at a turtle cleaning station and had 4 turtles in view at one time. After snorkeling the crater, they took extra time to follow two whales and a pod of dolphins. Expectations exceeded!

Join us for a HIGH QUALITY, small group snorkel aboard the all new REEF EXPLORER, Maui's only luxury SUPER RAFT and snorkel the world famous Molokini Crater. Enjoy a full hour of snorkeling in this partially submerged volcanic crater, and view over 250 different species of reef fish and coral formations. REEF EXPLORER is a state of the art, 60 ft Super Raft, which arrives to Molokini Crater in less than 30 minutes. This allows guests more time to snorkel in a private setting, away from crowds. Our second snorkel stop is at our favorite "Turtle Cove", where we swim and observe the abundant population of Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles that make this cove home. Tour includes breakfast pastries, Maui Gold Pineapple, freshly made lunch sandwiches, chips, granola bars, bottled water, sparkling water, Aloha juice, soft drinks, all snorkel gear and flotation devices. Our friendly captains and crew members make this the most personalized, memorable snorkel trip in Maui!

From start to finish, this was a great experience! The scones and lunch were delicious! The snorkel gear fit great and the boat was comfortable, spacious and fast! The crew, Captain Brad and Esteban, were friendly, fun, upbeat and super knowledgeable! Couldn’t recommend this more!

Loved going out with Ryan and Esteban! Super chill guys. Had chips, turkey sandwiches, soft drinks. Had a small group and got to snorkel the BACKSIDE of the crater which was absolutely INCREDIBLE. Never experienced anything like it. Saw lots of fish and even green sea turtles! Would go out with them again for sure.

Highly recommend!! This is probably the best snorkeling tour I've ever been on (and I've done quite a few snorkeling tours in Hawaii). The size of the boat and group was perfect. The captain was very knowledgeable and kept us laughing with stories about the island. And they did the tour in such a way that the sites were never overcrowded and we got to enjoy the wildlife in relative peace. The sites themselves are also really cool. We saw several turtles, all kinds of fish, and a sea cucumber!

We booked this tour specifically because of the smaller boat experience and after seeing the other larger boats in the harbor, we were glad we did. The team that led our tour were friendly, accommodating, and fun, with a focus on safety. The only downside of the entire day was me getting sick from swallowing too much salt water before my mask was fixed. But that's not their fault and in fact, they helped me figure out why it wasn't fitting right. We were out in the water for just the right amount of time and everyone on board had a blast listening to the music, riding along the waves, and feeling the sunshine.
