★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,433 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $198Our pick

Review of Maui Reef Adventures’ Molokini and Turtle Cove snorkel tour, with boat details, food, timing, value, and practical tips.

“This was a really nice snorkeling experience! We had mixed experience levels in our group (one member had snorkeled once previously and one member had never snorkeled at all), and the crew was extremely helpful to everyone in our party. The crew was great about taking us to spots with good visibility in the water, so we were able to see many turtles and fish. We had plenty of snorkeling time at both of the spots they took us to. Very nice experience overall!”
