Fun snorkeling and dinner cruise - This was a well-run snorkel and dinner cruise. The crew was very helpful and friendly (particularly with my 88 year old mother who did not snorkel but went along for the ride--they got her a chair and helped her move to good viewing locations around the boat while the rest of us snorkeled or swam). We snorkeled both Molokini crater and Turtle town with plenty of time at each location to explore. They had flotation devices, go-pro rentals, prescription masks, and everything else we needed for a great experience.

Amazing Experience - We had a great time yesterday. The boat is large and clean with 3 levels. We sat on the top level and it has comfortable seats with cup holders. The breakfast, veggie snacks and lunch provided are all amazing. The crew is very friendly. The first stop at the crater was amazing snorkeling so many different colored fish. The second stop at Turtle town has way less fish. Not everyone will see turtles but we were lucky and saw 4 near the rocky shore. The turtles were eating off the rocks. Highly recommend this tour. The Calaypso was a nice boat and great experience.

Usually I’m skeptical, but these guys delivered! - 5/5 experience. For the price you pay you get more than what you paid for. 1. The ship is huge, so while there’s a lot of people, you don’t feel cramped on it. Made some new friends along the way. 2. The 2 sites they took us to were great. Calm waters, we saw a lot of wild life (no turtles unfortunately but that’s out of anyone’s control). They provided all the equipment so we didn’t have to bring anything with us! 3. The food is actually good. Like surprisingly good. Not hotel/airport food, it’s legit food and they let you take as much as you want. Water/non alcoholic drinks are also provided. 4. Parking was a non-issue as we got there early for the 6:45 check in. Just park on the dock ($1/hr) and walk to the ship. Easy as that. We will 1000% be recommending them to friends and family. Very happy with the experience, we left the ship with expectations surpassed and exhausted from all the snorkeling time they gave us.

It was magical!!! Absolutely impressed with this experience! - Outstanding experience!! We went with our kids and my 6y/o isn't a strong swimmer and he was able to enjoy snorkeling, he even use the raft with a glass that mimicks the goggles. He also loved the slide. My other 2 kids said “mom this is the best experience ever”. Youll swim with fish and turtles. They give you enough time. Its a totally unique experience! The crew is outstanding, theyre kind, empathetic and always making sure everyone is safe. The boat has its own lifeguards which are always monitoring. The captain is so hands on and super nice. They even have a photographer on board to make sure to capture those special moments. They can rent you go pro if you decide to do pictures on your own. They provide food from breakfast to lunch. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to book this experience!! You wont regret it!! Even if you've never had snorkeling experience!

7/7 take! - At Molokini, we were let out in extremely choppy water. I know how to snorkel but the waves kept coming back into top of snorkel where upon I was sucking in water. I lasted less than 10 minutes. A bust and only sa a few 5 inch black fish. At turtle cove only a few people saw a turtle. Water muchhhh calmer Equipment, onboard service and food aka hospitality were very good. But didn’t achieve goal from r experience friends for families ly of 6. Thankfully no sea sick for us!
