Traveler Tips

They offer wet suits, but it only feels cold when you first get in.

Food on boat is ok.If the vendor can provide better gear, find a better than this Turtle Town, and make more fun on boat, it will be more attractive.

Try to get there early so you can sit upfront.

Great safe experience

Robin_M, May 2022

Great staff, comprehensive instructions, and the whole tour was well navigated. Would take on this tour again

Not great.

PAULA_L, May 2022

This was not what I expected. Every excursion we did on the island was amazing except this one. Professional, friendly, safety oriented, experienced captain and crew- This was a stretch Breakfast - Continental breakfast - pastries, muffins, and mixed fruit -yes Lunch - Deli sandwiches, coleslaw, chips, chocolate chip cookies - no way! It was a dry Turkey/cheese sandwich. No condiments, no slaw, no cookies. Hot coffee, tea, ice cold soda, juice, and water - yes but I felt like I was an inconvenience when asking. Freshwater showers - nope Great informative and historical narrative- this one is a stretch. And as far as turtle town- just know If you go somewhere with more than 2 turtles they call it turtle town.

Beautiful

Snorkeling. Great fun! Beautiful day! Molokini was really beautiful. The boat was fun. The water was nice. The fish were beautiful. I just wish we could have snorkeled a little longer at Molokini. It felt a little rushed.
