The Absolute BEST! - We had the BEST time on this excursion! The communication prior to the day was great. The boat was clean and not cramped. The food was really good as well. We went snorkeling at Molokini & then Turtle Bay and then went whale watching. I'd like to note that we have been on a few snorkeling excursions (not in Maui) & this experience far exceeded any of the others. The entire crew was absolutely fantastic! They were very nice, informative and funny, too! My daughter had a issue with her face burning from something in the water & David took such great care of her. Getting her fresh water to rinse her face in the bathroom & a bag of ice to calm it down. Ryan also stood out - he was taking photos & videos. He never had anything but a smile on his face! We plan to return to Maui next year, as this was our kids favorite vacation so far, and we will 100% be doing this excursion again. With any luck, the same crew will be on board :)

Best snorkeling experience on Maui. Very safe and kid friendly - The best snorkel experience on the island. This tour is extremely well-run, with friendly staff and a very comfortable boat. The captain and crew were very informative and there was plenty of food available during the tour. We went with a 9 year old and 12 year old and it felt very safe. There were 3 lifeguards on duty at all times and they were very proactive keeping an eye out for us. Can’t recommend this tour enough for families.

Fabulous and Fun - This is a fabulous and fun excursion! Calypso and their crew were very attentive and so helpful. The photographer ensured that each passenger was included in action shots. Thank you!! The captain and first mate are outstanding and the crew provided informative historical background about the islands, the marine life and culture. An unexpected monk seal swam into the snorkelers and I got to see him and his whiskers in front of me.

Exciting - Great crew, explained everything that we needed and why. Very efficient. Delicious breakfast. Snacks and also lunch. Teenage kids ate with no complaints. Very helpful with the snorkeling in and out of the boat just all around a good experience for all. We also got to see whale on our snorkeling tour and the captain explained why the whales did what they did so that was very helpful good information.

Unforgettable Beautiful. Pleasant Crew - We went on the Sunset Dinner Cruise not the snorkeling trip. It was fabulous and fantastic! The crew was delightful. The dinner was good and the evening was unforgettable, beautiful! I thank my lucky stars that the ticket lady on the Maui-Lanai ferry was so unpleasant because I never would have gotten to experience the Calypso dinner cruise. Don’t miss this one! Pass on the ferry and go for the cruise at slip 76.

A Definite Gotta Do - The Calypso is incredible! It would have helped if we were in better shape, but we still enjoyed it very much!

Great first experience - Felt very well looked after by the crew, they were very kind and the activities were really fun. The food and drinks were good, and the experience was amazing and beat my expectations. Some time was spent whale watching after snorkeling, which was an unexpected part of the trip. Shout out to crew member Eddy for taking care of us and then rest of the people on the third floor, he was very tentative and kind.

Great day! - Was a great day! I was terrified of the ocean and actually snorkelling. I was in tears before I hit the water at turtle town. But this was an experience I wanted to have. It was incredible. I felt comfortable and safe the entire time. All the crew members were kind and helpful. Captain Chad (if I remember his name correctly) allowed me to come up and see his space. Crew member Ky was so kind, helpful and encouraging. This experience was great. So much so I went snorkelling again before I left Maui. The added plus of getting breakfast and lunch was great. Didn’t need to think about food. Drinks that were for purchase on board were good. They had two crew members with boards in the water and multiple on the boat watching. Crew communicated with Walkie Talkies and kept everyone safe. Great of beginners!
