Once onboard, you'll soon discover why Maui's visitors consider this trip to be one of the best to Molokini and why we have become a local Maui favorite too. With a crew that is completely dedicated to your needs and providing you absolute fun, this trip is a must-do for families. It offers something for all ages. She is the only vessel with a glass bottom room that you can actually sit in and have a breathtaking view, both in front and below you, of the undersea world. From the avid snorkeler to those that can not swim, the Four Winds II accommodates everyone and provides tons of fun on-deck or in the water. By far, the Four Winds II is one of the best trips, in its class, to Molokini. « less

This was my first snorkeling trip and it was fantastic! The crew is friendly and very helpful. We took the morning cruise so they provided both breakfast and lunch. The variety of fish at Molokini was amazing and it was fun to see all the green turtles. The captain was entertaining. Even those who didn't get in the water seemed... More

We had a fantastic trip on this tour! The staff were great, the captain was funny and the sites were awesome, they had something for everyone on it. It wasn't to long and it wasn't to short. Everything was included all you had to bring was a bathing suit and towel. They even had underwater cameras to rent as well... More

These guys were great. I thought it was a great price for a 3 hour boat ride and snorkeling. It was my first snorkeling experience and I had a wonderful time thanks to a great crew. Took the "Four Winds II" ship out to the halfmoon reef off of Maui. They had a scuba guy taking under water photos of... More

We went out on a morning snorkel trip to Molokini in early January 2012. Really lucked out on whale watching, but captain & crew were also excellent: knowledgeable & friendly. Good food too. Highly recommend this trip. More

The weather was iffy for several days, but finally, our whale watching trip was confirmed (early that morning). The captain was fantastic (Dan, I think), and the crew were all great. We saw lots of whales, including babies, and Dan was very knowledgeable in his talks. Then I went snuba-diving with my 2 kids, all of our first time....it was... More

Maui Classic Charters on the Maui Magic with Captain Buzz, Charlene, Katie and dive coach Willie was without a doubt the best day of our 7 day vacation in Maui. The whales we saw were so close to our boat-the best whale watching ever. Our captain took us to two different dive sights for snorkeling and introduced us to Snuba... More

We booked the Four Winds II Afternoon Snorkel and Maui Whale Watching Cruise for 10 of us while on Maui. The day we had originally booked was cancelled due to bad weather, but we were able to get everyone re-booked for a few days later. It was a nice, big boat with an upper deck and a lower glass-bottom; and... More

We chose this trip because we had friends with us who had never been to Hawaii and, according to their literature, we would be whale watching and snorkeling and fishing on the way back. They describe the boat as a "glassbottom catamaran" and their literature shows pictures that would lead you beleive it. They actually have one very small section... More

Four Winds II was awesome! Our captain was entertaining, the crew was friendly and helpful. We had great whale watching both ways. The crew member who gave a quick snorkel lesson was very helpful to the new snorkeler in our group. “Turtle Universe” was unimpressive --- we saw all of four turtles and we stayed there less than 5 minutes....

We had a fairly large, mixed ages group of people in our party. Everyone loved the tour, with exception of one person, who unfortunately got sea sick. We had a 45 min boat ride to the crater and snorkeled there for a couple of hours. There is a slide on the boat that all of the kids (big and small)... More
