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!”

He kept our attention with his stories of the history, current state, and personal reflections. The Mercedes van was very comfortable. I appreciated the restroom breaks along the way. Enjoyed the black sand beach, lava tube walk and of course the walk to the crater rim of Kīlauea. The cone was bubbling and although there was no eruption it was a beautiful display of Mother Nature.”
