Review of Maui’s Molokini and Turtle Town snorkel cruise, with breakfast, lunch, gear, whale sightings, practical tips, and honest drawbacks.

“The captain and the crew were fantastic and they did everything they could to make this trip enjoyable for the participants. I have nothing but kind words for them. HOWEVER.

A four-hour Sea Maui catamaran cruise from Ka’anapali with flexible snorkeling, turtles, whales, dolphins, breakfast, lunch, and drinks.

“We booked this trip specifically for our first time snorkeling because of the flexibility of the itinerary. This excursion said it would choose which locations to snorkel based on the days weather and conditions. We traveled in the winter, which is the rainy season, and did not want to get stuck snorkeling in a location with bad visibility or conditions. We lucked out by having a great sunny day and our snorkeling locations were stunning! They can't guarantee seeing any specific wildlife, but our group saw a pod of spinner dolphins, a juvenile whale, multiple turtles and so many kinds of fish I couldn't possibly name them all! Plus the…”
