Worth it - The Calypso is THE largest, steadiest, best water craft in the harbor. Professional and friendly crew. Food was good. Plenty of good views to see the humpback whales. Seamless distribution of gear. Snorkeling at turtle town did not disappoint. The price of this adventure was very worth it. We saw and swam with sea turtles at turtle town. The Molokini corals and fish were plentiful and great; since it is shallow there you can see more color. I highly recommend this charter. If you have a tendency to get sea sick, like I do. Take your dramamine and stay on the main level facing forward with eyes on the horizon. All was good and soooo worth it to see everything. They also have GoPro cameras for rent with filter preset for more colorful photos.

Amazing experience! - The crew was absolutely fantastic! We had such a great time aboard the Calypso. We felt comfortable snorkeling and enjoyed the optional snorkeling 101 course prior to getting into the water! We felt super safe out there and got to see so many fish and even a sea turtle! Amazing experience altogether!

Snorkeling is always great. - Snorkeling is always great. Hawaii does not have snorkeling as epic as in Bali or Belize (fewer fish and less variety). Maui does have several beaches that offer free snokeling and it is really just as good as what you see on this tour, even better you don't like crowds. If want to go see part of this uninhabited island, than you would love this trip. I was not impressed with the island. The best part of this trip were the whales (it was whale season). The water and the after water breeze was a little cold for us in February, so bring a warmie in cooler months.This boat was very crowded - some people had to stand instead of sitting. We had 3 guides for about 40 people. They got us there and back and kept us very safe. The guides did not to get in the water and snorkel with us to show us the best spots. We were on our own in the water. Book a smaller or private boat if you want that kind of service. With all of these "not perfect" scenerios, I still enjoyed the experience very much.

Snorkel trip - Bit of a crowded tourist thing, hanging with 50 or so off my closest strangers. That said, sunny day made for good snorkeling, lots of fish. Saw turtles, octopuses, eels, and lots of coral.
Crew very helpful and friendly, really enjoyed meeting crew member Bear!
Food was good and plenty.

Don’t get sick - Please stop sending emails. We were not able to make it therefore have nothing to say. We did not get a refund because it was not within the 24 hour window. It’s unfortunate that if you get sick you are just out of luck.
