Fun & educational tour that gives back into ocean research
Tracy_L
, May 2022
This was a fun and informative excursion. Captain Tisok and his marine naturalists gave us a lot of great information about the geography and marine life on our trip that we found interesting and truly enjoyed. 80% of the cost goes back into research for their non profit organization. We always felt safe and looked after while snorkeling. The food was plentiful and the first alcoholic drink is free, though we did not partake due to mild motion sickness. We were able to explore turtle town first so that we weren't crowded in molokini crater in the early AM. Beautiful reef teeming with life. We didn't see any reef sharks or turtles at molokini but spotted a puffer fish and lots of other fish and coral. We saw couple for turtles and eels at turtle town.

The crew was amazing! Very intelligent when telling us about the area, what we were gonna see and how they treated the visitors. Just like new friends. And even when you’re nervous as you are getting acclimated into the water they all talk you through the time as you’re holding onto their boards! So thank you!

Unexpectedly saw humpback whales and babies, along with dolphins. Nice bonus! Great crew - very attentive and kind. Loved learning new things from the naturalists. Water was clear and lovely for snorkeling. I was a little disappointed in the condition of the coral and the relatively low number of fish. But I’m sure it is better than some other areas.
