What makes this outfit special isn't just the snorkeling spots, though those consistently wow people. It's the crew that turns a nice outing into something guests rave about for years. Captain Joey gets called out constantly for timing visits perfectly so groups have Molokini all to themselves and taking guests to places bigger boats can't reach. Angela, Brandon, Austin, and the rest of the team match that energy with genuine warmth, patient instruction (especially with kids and first-timers), and storytelling that brings the lava formations and marine life to life. The smaller zodiac-style boats mean intimate groups, usually around 10 people, which lets you access hidden sea caves and get up close to dramatic coastal features other tours miss. Whether you're snorkeling inside and behind Molokini Crater, hanging out with turtles at their cleaning stations, or watching dolphins swim alongside the boat, the crew has a knack for finding the magic moments. Multiple reviewers mention returning year after year, which speaks volumes. Just be prepared for a more adventurous ride with higher waves if conditions are rough—a few mention needing seasickness remedies, though they still say it's worth it.

What people are saying

I had an amazing time on my Snorkeling tour of Molokini Crater. If you are into snorkeling this is a MUST do. WHEN will you ever be inside a crate snorkeling and then outside the crater (time permitting) snorkeling in water that is 800’ deep. I was in awe during the entire time. Joey and Alex made our trip out and back in a lot of fun too with great information and casual conversation. They made us feel like “friends of the family.” Please do this tour if you have time!!!
