Do I need to have any snorkeling experience for this trip?

No prior experience is necessary at all! Our professional and friendly crew are excellent instructors and will provide a brief, easy-to-follow lesson on how to use the gear before you get in the water. We also provide flotation devices, like pool noodles or vests, to ensure everyone can float comfortably and safely, regardless of their swimming or snorkeling ability.

What kind of marine life can I realistically expect to see?

Molokini crater is famous for its incredible visibility and vibrant coral reefs, home to hundreds of species of colorful tropical fish. At Turtle Arches, there is a very high probability of seeing and swimming near the majestic Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles. You might also spot eels, rays, or even dolphins during the boat journey, though wildlife sightings are never guaranteed.

Is this snorkeling trip a good activity for my young children?

Yes, this is a fantastic and memorable trip for families. Our crew is experienced in helping children feel comfortable and safe in the water. We provide snorkeling gear in children’s sizes and flotation devices to ensure they have a great time. The calm and protected conditions inside the Molokini crater are often perfect for introducing kids to the wonders of the ocean.

What is the policy if the weather is bad on my tour date?

Your safety is our absolute top priority. The captain will make a decision based on wind and swell conditions on the morning of the tour. If the weather is deemed unsafe to travel, the trip may be canceled by us. In the event of a company cancellation, you will always be given the option to reschedule for another day or receive a 100% full refund.
