Very friendly, decent boat, well organized, good gear, decent food. We had a pleasant experience all around.

Snorkel at world-famous Molokini, a small crescent shaped extinct volcanic crater with crystal clear water that is home to more than 250 fish species. Then enjoy Turtle Arches, a beautiful reef known for its underwater lava arches and frequented by gentle green sea turtles. All of your snorkeling gear and flotation devices are provided, plus plenty of encouragement and support if you’re new to snorkeling. Wide swim steps and a water slide make it easy and fun to get right in and explore both amazing locations.

We enjoyed the 5-hour snorkel trip with the PCF. While snorkeling we saw some great fish at the crater. The crew was very helpful and cheerful.

We've taken a lot of eyes! The place and the Check in super easy and quick to find, the souvenir shop is huge, with lots of choices! The activity itself is really magical! We have seen so many different and colorful fish at Molokini Crater! And the turtles then, really a crazy experience!!!!!! The supervisors were great, attentive and caring. Breakfast, drinks and lunch at the top, possibility to serve at will so great too. We had our snorkeling equipment but they provide it if you don’t have it + possibility to rent a Neoprene T-shirt if you are afraid of being cold ($10 for the whole morning). Small + the photographer on board the boat makes great photos! About 80€ for 300/400 photos of the seabed, fauna / flora and of course you hahaa they were taken with a professional camera, the result is spectacular I recommend! If you still hesitate, do not hesitate! It was just magical:)

It was an amazing experience! Would absolutely recommend! We snorkeled for two hours and saw so many fun creatures including a manta ray and turtles!

This is a very well-ran experience that is perfect for beginners and children. The crew is plentiful, knowledgable, patient, and efficient. All have advanced degrees related to Oceanic pursuits. Safety is top-notch. Meet at The Maui Ocean Center and bring towels and Reef-safe sunscreen. Plenty of room on the two-level boat for your bag. Sails smooth. Restroom's available. Light breakfast, good lunch (including one alcohol drink,2nd $8) soft drinks and water, and photos provided. Photos above and under water. Around $75. We saw turtles and some fish. Maybe not as plentiful as we expected, but fun. Didn’t make it to the Turtle Arches or maybe I didn’t hear them. Snorkled a lava finger and Molokini Crater. Windy on the way back!
