Snorkel Molokini and Turtle Town from a Maalaea catamaran with breakfast, deli lunch, and real safety on board.
“We had such an amazing time! Cody, Joel, and Jeff were a fabulous crew. En route to the dive site, the stars were unreal and we saw flying fish that were jumping along the boat with us. They were bioluminescent because of what they eat. When we got there, the manta rays were HUGE! They were barrel rolling into me and lightly touching my arm. You aren’t allowed to touch them, but if they touch you it’s ok (and good luck!). We also saw bottle nosed dolphins, which was a total bonus! Even the guide was surprised we saw them.

My 16 year old got incredible footage of the turtles, and my 9 year old said she was sooo glad she had the chance to swim with turtles. The water at Molokini was unbelievably clear.

“This snorkeling trip doubled as an amazing whale watching experience and we loved every minute of it. This is the trip you want! A great captain and crew, the slide was awesome and it was so smooth and well run. The snorkeling was unbelievable...crystal clear, so many fish and great equipment. Book this one now...the boat is a bit smaller and more personal...not one of those huge ones where you feel like a total tourist. Boarded, had some yummy coffee and breakfast and the captain delivered us a Hawaii spectacular! Best snorkel trip ever.”
