What Reviewers Say

TripAdvisor ★★★★☆

Was okay, I don’t think I’d do it again for how expensive it was. The weather/waves were bad so we only drove past the crater and did not snorkel (I know that isn’t their fault) but otherwise it was just a very long boat ride to another random snorkel area that we could have just driven a few minutes to. We still had a good time but don’t think it was worth the price, personally.

Went on this tour with my teenage daughter and it was great. Super clean boat, really good food, fun and professional environment. The Crew is knowledgeable and it's all easy to manage. It's a 2fer because you can see whales and snorkel. Don't hesitate! TIP: Bring binoculars so you can see the whales. Since it starts so early you have all day!!! Great day!

Incredibly friendly and helpful staff. Didn’t matter if it was your first time snorkeling or well experienced, they made it a worthwhile and memorable experience for everyone, A nice boat, good equipment, delicious lunch. In addition to snorkeling, the whale watching was an unexpected plus. The QR code for parking on the dock didn’t work- no problem- was able to scan and pay on the boat. This was an outstanding excursion- family oriented and for everyone regardless of age or skill. Highly

Good but did not make it to Molokini. Very nice crew. Captain decided there was too much wind blowing into crater. Saw lots of whales and snorkeled in 2 other fairly good areas. Saw turtles.

Beautiful day on the water with Maui Magic. Very friendly and helpful crew. Captain was very informative,along with 2 mates. Breakfast and lunch were excellent. With two stops I saw octopus, turtle, mana ray, along with beautiful fish. Multiple whale sightings. I recommend this excursion with a group or Solo!

Perfect amount of time, amazing crew, one fun surprise after another. We were really impressed! We stopped for whales, in addition to snorkeling. You could upgrade to snuba, buy photos, or rent underwater cameras, but that was all optional. At Molokini, they offered float belts, wet suits, flippers and masks, and even floating platforms with a window for little kids. There was a slide into the water, as well as 3 ladders, so there was no waiting to get into the water. The glass bottom was clear

We had an excellent excursion to Molokini on Four Winds III. The boat is new and beautiful, including lots of seating, shade, a slide, and of course the underwater viewing window. The snorkeling gear worked well and we rented wetsuit tops for $10. They had free flotation belts, boogie boards, and even sea boards that you could float on with a viewing window if you did not want to put your face in the water. They did a snorkeling lesson for new snorkelers and had staff in the water to help out

We have snorkeld at Molokini many times before. This was one of the most comfortable boats because they did not stuff it and there was plenty of space for ourselves and our gear. Everyone ha lots of room. On the way out it turned into a whale watch as a huge humpback swam under the boat multiple times and surfaced beside us. The captain had to shut off the engines until it left. Everyone got great pictures of this unlikely event. The crew were very helpful and provided great service throughout

Great trip! Morning snorkeling and whale watching. Ship was very clean, crew was very attentive and friendly, food was tasty, snorkeling was great AND, had a juvenile male whale play with the ship! Passed under the vessel several times when we stopped.

I went on this boat snorkel tour by myself to the Coral Gardens near Olowalu and had a very solid experience. The crew was professional and organized, and we had a generous amount of time in the water, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. I rented a wetsuit vest from them because I had forgotten my own wetsuit, and I strongly recommend doing this. For $10, it made a noticeable difference in comfort and allowed me to stay in the water longer. The Coral Gardens were in good condition, with a nice mix of
