An unforgettable underwater experience Luckily the conditions were right so we made it to Molokini Crater! Once we got to the crater, the water was crystal clear and full of marine life. Perfect for both beginners and pros. The ride over can be a bit rough though but the experience is so worth it. The crew were very attentive and friendly. Mahalo!

Snorkeling to molokini and turtletown The best tour I’ve been on in Maui. The staff is friendly and helpful. The morning we went was perfect, weather-wise, with calm seas. We swam with many turtles and saw lots of colorful fish.

Molokini solo boat Had an awesome experience snorkeling Molokini. This was an afternoon trip the captain and crew mentioned numerous times that we won the lottery. First off the winds seldom allow afternoon trips but this day the seas were calm. On top of being able to go we were the only boat that did. The crew seamed a little put off because they only had 17 total guests. Another bonus for us very few people in the way. The snorkel and conditions and location all a perfect 10. The captain and crew that the most exciting compared to many trips I have been on. Depending on what you want I would definitely do this again with this captain and crew. If you want to just get to the place and snorkle and get back safely this is the trip to book. If you want a party boat with lots of entertaining it is not for you. It was exactly what we wanted and loved it.

Fantastic snorkeling adventure! Rare opportunity to go snorkeling in Molakini crater in the afternoon winds and current normally forbid this, but we were lucky and had a wonderful snorkeling experience saw lots of species of fish and healthy looking coral. Our crew was fantastic and the food was great, and the drinks were great.

Utterly disappointed ☹️ We had booked PM boat on the least windy day of our 10-day holiday and checked weather App before booking as we hoped we’d get to Molokini - yes aware not always possible as detailed- so naturally disappointed when captain started sailing up the coastline with Molokini in the distance… and only after 25 mins explained ‘ ‘ too windy for Molokini’ it seemed like there was no intention to even try to go there instead preferring an easy coastline sail. When we got to Coral Gardens were told ‘ not good clarity for snorkelling’ so took us further up the coast for like an hour n 15 mins sail before deciding to anchor literally 500 metres off shore where the ‘ mother coral was’. Well I’ve never been more disappointed with a snorkel! Yes the coral was nice to see, but literally that was it - just a few simple fish swimming there - nothing more! I could have driven to the site n swam out myself to the same place for -$400 I spent on this trip! We had driven from Ka’anapali to Ma’alaea boat yard only to be sailed back up near Lahaina to snorkel! Felt like a complete waste of my n families time!Yes crew were nice enough but the food served was like we were at a kids party! So disappointed in the whole trip.

Snorkle trip!! Steve, Tati, Nick and Shutter Joe were the best. We felt safe and very well taken care of. The hot dog meal could have been better…but it wasn’t horrible. 😊
