Molokini Crater was awesome! - The guides were very informative and upbeat, The ride was wavy and exciting, even if a little bit painful :) snacks and drinks were provided, but definitely eat beforehand. Overall would do again, the crater is very beautiful, and the water is super clear!

A perfect morning on the perfect boat for us. - It was up to me to choose which boat trip to Molokini we took, and we were all so glad this was the one! My daughter was concerned about the smaller boat at first, but it's size made it all the more fun, being close to the water. We weren't looking for a fancy trip, we wanted to be close to nature. And the ride itself was pretty smooth, the seats comfortable. I had hoped to snorkel, as it is one of my favorite experiences ever. But due to my age and some health problems, I decided to stay on board. At least they let me come as several of the journeys have age limits. And John said I could hang on to the ladder if I wanted and go in the ocean. But my daughter and our friend thoroughly enjoyed their snorkeling experience. Joshua, the captain, and John the first mate and snorkeling guide, were both fantastic. Very friendly, personable, knowledgeable, and most importantly professional. We all felt very safe and in good hands. Even though I stayed on board, I loved this trip so much. I saw dozens of Great Frigate birds above Molokini. After the snorkeling, we circled the gorgeous crater and headed back to Maui.And I had a special purpose for the trip and it was beautifully honored. Thank you so much, Joshua and John for a day we will never forget!!

Snorkeling Trip - The dive itself was beautiful. The snorkeling guide was entertaining, personable and experienced. The whole experience was very personalized and easy-going. The boat was humble, it wasn’t nearly a yacht, but personally I preferred it- it made the ride very fun and adventurous.

Great time with Luke and John! - Luke and John were awesome ! We didn't see any whales but we had the best time riding on the boat after our snorkling experience at Molokini. They were so knowledgeable about the islands and had great tips for the rest of our vacation as well. John makes the best sandwiches according to my family :) The snorkling experience was fun as well. They had wet suit tops so that helped keep us warm since the water was so cold. We went early in the morning so it was still a little chilly. I have only snorkled once before so Luke reminding me of the basics was one of my favorite parts lol
