Best snorkel experience! - Had a great time snorkeling at Molokini and the whale watching was awesome. Joe and Jess were great! They knew where the best places to snorkel and their knowledge of whales was amazing. It helped that Jess was a marine biologist. We will use them again when back in Maui.

Weather did not permit - Our tour made it 3/4 of the way to Molokini before turning around. The tour was taken to another location near the Maui shore line that is known for sea turtle spotting. The reason for this change of plans was due to unsafe conditions at Molokini due to high waves. Just as we were ready to jump into the water to see sea turtles, the wind picked up and the waves were too big. We were taken to another area and were able to swim and see some coral and fish.

Only saw 3 turtles; for $300., that’s just not worth it. - The ride back to the landing was scary and horrible; was a struggle to stay in the seat. Captain should have cancelled due to rough seas.

Lame Snorkeling Experience - Very lame snorkeling experience - not worth it - do not take this tour! We attempted to take the raft to one spot - drivers felt it was not suitable so ended up snorkeling by a public beach- I could’ve walked to this spot and saved my $200!
