Magical boat ride to Lanai - Magical boat ride from Lahaina to Lanai. Saw dolphins who played and swam alongside the boat gave us a great show. Saw colorful marine life in a scenic protected cove with calm blue waters next to reddish black rock cliff walls. Amazing hospitality from a very caring and helpful boat staff. Will definitely return.

Epic day on the water. - The trip from Kihei to molokini was fast and fun. Captain Joe and his assistant Jess made the trip incredible. There was so much to see and so much to do. by using the smaller boat it got us to Monokini fast and it gave us more time for snorkeling. It couldn’t have been a better day. Thanks again Captain Joe, Jess and Michelle!

Worth it! - Molokoi Crater is bountiful with all kinds of reef fish, sea urchins and starfish. I thought an hour would be plenty of time, but I could have styed out there longer. Going to an aquarium will never be the same. A couple of notes - we went in the last group (11:30am) and weather got choppy towards the end. I think the weather and waves are calmer earlier in the day. Our group sat in the back under the covering, but we got absolutely soaked. Sit in the front if you can. Overall, this was a memorable experience and our family thought it was well worth the cost.

Don’t miss the boat! - Great experience! We went on the 11:30 outing on a Sunday. We made the weather (apparently it sometimes get super windy) and we’re the only boat at Molikini! We literally had this oasis to ourselves. Saw so ma y different varieties of sea life including an eel, sea star, sea urchins, parrot fish as well as others. The crew were amazing as well! Definitely recommend!
