Blue water has the other Molokini snorkel companies beat because they take you to multiple snorkel spots, and the trips are so much faster. They also take you to the south shore and tell you all about the lava flows on Maui. We had a great time and Captain Larry was awesome. I’ve done the open bar catamaran tour and the zodiac tour, and the zodiac tour was much better, more activities, more to see, and more destination time I stead of travel time.
We did the 2 hour Express Molokini Snorkel trip with Captain Tim and Spencer. They were a lot of fun and answered every question. They are very knowledgeable about the area. This is by far the best way to snorkel Molokini!!! After a fast, fun ride out, you arrive at the reef to find it all to yourselves as the big boats have all returned to the docks. You have plenty of time to drift along and take it all in. I was even lucky enough to spot an octopus at the end of the swim.
We've been living on Maui for a few months now and finally got around to booking a Molokini snorkeling trip. We wanted a fairly small group tour with some scenery, too, in case one of us didn't feel like snorkeling the whole time. This was the perfect trip. First, Brian and Captain Larry were great. Both were personable and helpful. Captain Larry had great knowledge and a great musical playlist. :) The first stop to see the lava formations and watch the water break over them and in and out of caves and archways was breathtaking. We had a 15-minute stop on the backside of Molokini which was uncrowded and calm, then moved to the front side away from the big crowds and found plenty of sights. For our last sightseeing stop we were in murkier water in terms of reef and fish viewing, but saw plenty of turtles. Breakfast was fresh fruit and muffins, lunch was a build-your-own sandwich "bar" and yummy cookies. Water and juices available, too. There's dry storage for your gear and they provide fins, masks and snorkels, although note if you need corrective lenses there was only one such mask on our boat. I wear glasses but found the regular mask worked fine in the clear water off Molokini and later I was able to see and follow turtles with no problems. As awesome as this trip was, if you're looking for a leisure cruise, book something else. The rafting aspect made this an adventure, which is just what we wanted. But there is a reason they do not let people with back problems or women who are pregnant get on the boat. If you are someone who is easily seasick, this is also not the trip for you. But if you like your tours a little rugged and a whole lot of fun, sign up. I will definitely recommend this tour to people visiting us. My only nit is in the directions, because it made us a bit late to check-in. At some point Route 310 ends, and you have to turn right onto Route 31. *This* is where you will find mile marker 9 and your turn. I think we'll probably book another trip with these guys when it's whale watching season. I can't wait!
We couldn't have had a better experience snorkeling with Captain Tim and Princess Stephanie. We got incredibly lucky with the weather and had a super smooth...
You cannot have a better snorkeling experience than with Kanaio Sea Caves & Molokini At Kihei Boat Ramp. Jim was our Captain for our 30th anniversary trip. Exciting...
This was my first trip to Molokini but I can't imagine it being any better. We wanted an afternoon tour but didn't want to risk just being brought to Coral...
