Molakini 4.5 hour snorkel - This was an amazing tour. We were able to snorkel the entire Molakini crater-front and back. Then went off to swim with the turtles. The total count was 79 turtles!! They swam with us, beside us and we watched their beauty from afar. Our Captains Cary and Allison were amazing. Keep us safe, informed and fed! I would hands down recommend this trip with Maui Snorkel.

Best small group snorkeling tour on Maui! - We had a great tour with Captain Jen and Captain Allyson! They are very knowledgeable and brought us to many good spots for snorkeling. The boat is great and we were the first ones on every spots allowing us to enjoy them with less people and more time to explore and enjoy all the different fishes and turtles! Glad we chose Maui Snorkel Charters!

Great way to see Molokini! - My husband and our two teenage nieces and I had a great time snorkeling Molokini and a few other special spots, such as Turtle Town, with Molokini Snorkel Tour. Jen and Alex were so knowledgeable, kind, and hospitable. I noticed them both taking extra time with guests who were new snorklers or experiencing challenges with their gear. I also really enjoyed being on a smaller boat with fewer people so we weren't all running into each other on the water. The spots they took us to had incredible visibility and unique fishes and corals. The "Turtle Town" site included a sea turtle cleaning station, where turtles wait patiently for fish to come and pick algae, dead skin, and parasites off of their bodies. I have seen fish cleaning stations before, but not a turtle station, and different fish species performed the cleaning! I would 100% recommend this operator for someone who wants a lower key snorkeling experience with a warm and welcoming captain and crew!

Book THIS company! - I READ SO MANY REVIEWS FIRST before booking this trip. Don’t waste your time looking elsewhere and just book this one! Cary and Allison were fantastic, informative, fun, played good music and we felt safe the whole time. They constantly had their eyes scanning us swimmers and helped/reassured the couple of newbies I noticed had never been snorkeling. I expected the yellow boat to be more bumpy, but it was really smooth. We got to go to 5 snorkel spots (even the BACK side of Molokini) and they provided light snacks along the way. The boat holds 20 snorkelers, our group only had 14….the smaller boat and group size allows them to go to areas where the bigger boats can’t access as easily and also less time waiting on others to get in/out. We were the second ones to arrive to molokini! If you’re staying in Kihei, this also saves a big chunk of both car driving time and time boating out to the snorkel spots. We swam with over 10 turtles in one spot, saw puffer fish, an eel, a dolphin, beautiful coral and some of the group even caught sight of a manta ray and baby shark! Another bonus was that they offered wet suit tops, which we were grateful for after being in the water so long some of us got a little chilled. I would 100% book this company again and you should too :)

The best small group snorkel excursion - Great small group snorkel excursion with a crew that put in tons of effort to make it memorable. We were the first boat to arrive at the crater, so we were able to get right in the water and explore without 50 other people getting in the way. The crew provided great snacks and drinks and wetsuit tops if needed. And they were needed since there was a good breeze blowing. Don’t get on the big boats if you are near Kihei, just take this tour right from town.
