The staff was great. It appeared they were all happy to be there and cared about the boat and the guests. The pulled pork was outstanding!! Snorkeling was great too, we used their masks and fins and everything was great.

Ten out of ten on almost every aspect. The crew was amazing - so friendly but also safe and responsible. Shout out to Erika and Camille. The food was great - lots of breakfast options including scrambled egg, sausage, pastries and fruits. Fresh coffee and juices, too. The snorkeling experience with multiple entry/exit points was awesome for going in and out of the water. The crew are lifeguards who go out to the perimeter areas on a paddleboard to watch everyone. It was just so good. We also ch

We have been on several snorkeling boats with many crews. This crew works like a well oiled machine. Everyone seems to know their jobs and moves quickly to achieve each chore. The food was tasty and plenty. Better than others I have had on tours. I liked that the booze was not flowing freely(you paid for alcoholic drinks). Lots of families with kids on the boat. They had plenty of snorkel equipment for everyone. I have never had a wetsuit available for my use($10/rental fee). Photographer took

We had a great time! Be sure to read your ticket carefully, you will need to arrive 30 minutes earlier than your ticket says. Also don’t forget to pay for parking. We had a great time. The staff was extremely pleasant, helpful, and all smiles. My kids greatly enjoyed snorkeling. They also enjoyed the slides. When you first arrive at Molokini it’s NUTS. Wall to wall people. Maybe wait 30 minutes and then go out. Crowd gets tired of snorkeling quickly. We did not get to go to turtle town bc th

Our group of 10 adults really enjoyed this cruise. The food was really good, especially the rib dinner. Drinks and service were top notch, but the whales stole the show!! They were all around us, and so much fun to watch. It was a beautiful way to spend our last night on the Island.

Captain and Staff were awesome! The boat is very accommodating and the jumping platform and slides were a nice addition to snorkeling. The food and beverages were good. The whales were very active during our trip so the Captain made sure we had some amazing whale encounters also. This is my second trip on Calypso and highly recommend it.

Pleasant dinner cruise experience. Food was tasteful and served warm, crew was pleasant and helpful, saw many whales in nearby waters. Would definitely recommend if you're interested in a Sunset Dinner Cruise. Captain Steve and rest of crew were terrific.
