Awesome time. Breakfast and lunch were good. Crew did an awesome job. The boat even stopped to check out the whales. Snorkeling was fun, saw many fish and a few turtles. Good experience.

Went on the Calypso. Staff was very attentive and friendly. The boat was clean and well stocked with drinks and snacks. Breakfast and lunch were good. Very safety conscious. Would highly recommend.

We booked this snorkel trip because my wife doesn’t like to swim but loves a catamaran boat. When we got to check in at 545 we were told check in was moved to 645 and we had been “upgraded” we got put on a 3 decker boat. To us this was a huge downgrade and not what we planned it felt more like a ferry. There was just seats and tables everywhere. Nothing like what my wife wanted. We saw a total of 2 seats turtles. It was just not what we expected when we picked our trip. I wish they would have gave us the option to cancel. Because we did not consider this an upgrade at all.

Well worth your time and money. Crew was excellent and the food delicious. This was our second adventure thru Viator. They did not disappoint!!!

The early departure time may be a turn off - don't let it deter you!! Being out that early meant we were the first ones to Molokini and Turtle town. The crew took EXCEPTIONAL care of us. Safety is first, second, and third on their list. 10/10 experience.

It took the full 6 hours. At Molokini, you spend 40 mins snorkeling. At Makena, you spend about 30 mins snorkeling and we saw 3 turtles. Breakfast is served on the way out and lunch is served on the way back to port. Great experience and highly recommended doing Molokini because it’s calm and the ocean is so blue and clear!

I managed to miss the 6:30am departure time and they managed to put us on anther boat leaving 7:30am. It's not a guarantee (only if space is available), but the courtesy of the company is great, and so is their positive vibe, food, and extras like stopping for watching nearby wales and dolphins. Will definitely book again!

Booked Malolo cruise because we were told that the Calypso cruise gets over crowded. There is a 24 hour cancellation clause. I gat an email ,with only a few hours notice, that the Malolo cruise was cancelled and we were being put on the Calypso instead. Same company. When booking a Molokini cruise, be absolutely sure the wind and weather are perfect or you will end up in another cove or place at the crew’s discretion. We found better snorkeling spots on our own and never made it to Molokini. Not even for pictures. What a ripoff, I booked Molokini not anything else. Food- OK. Drinks-OK. I can get my own Costco sandwiches at Costco.
