This was a great trip! We opted for the more expensive, longer, deluxe tour. It's much more time on the boat, and you get breakfast and lunch. (And booze, but that's a bit early for me to start...) I wrote a full review here: http://bit.ly/3iph5J Would most certainly recommend this crew, this boat, this trip! more

We took the deluxe morning snorkel with Kai Kanani. The crew was very friendly and helpful, making for a comfortable ride. The snorkeling at Molokini was fantastic. I highly recommend this tour. One comment, which is either a drawback or an advantage, depending on your situation...the boat docks so close to Molokini that you really spend very little time sailing/motoring.... more

I want to recommend the Snorkeling trip on the Kai Kanani. The crew were fantastic and the snorkeling was incredible. The crew took us to the other side of the crater--no other tours boats were going to this side. Where we experienced the most amazing fish and water as blue as a saphire. I can only say that this cruise... more

My wife an I did the deluxe snorkel trip with the Kai Kanani. The boat is beautiful. My wife loves the ocean, and has snorkeled in the past, but she is not a very good swimmer and was very scared of snorkeling at Molokini Crater. Once we got there, the staff was wonderful with my wife to make her feel... more

We did this trip simply because we were staying at the Maui Prince and it was convenient. We had a great snorkeling experience with them. Very professional crew, good breakfast provisions. I highly recommend taking the first trip in the morning. We were up every morning before the sun anyway thanks to the time difference. We were the only boat... more

First time to Maui, first time snorkeling. The snorkeling was the best part of our stay. We did the 6:30am trip and it was the best. The staff is excellent; the experience was great. It was like swimming in a aquarium. Highly recommend the very early morning time as you are the only people out there, no competition. more

We could not have had a better snorkel adventure. The crew was friendly and very interactive. The size of the group was kept smaller than other boats around us which made for a great trip. If you are looking for the best snorkel cruise pick Kai Kanani. You won't be disappointed more

We went on the 9am trip out to Molikini and Turtle Town and absolutely loved it. We beat out other groups in that we snorkeled inside the crater as well as at the crater's edge plus turtle town. The crew was great and made sure to always have a member of their team in the water with us when we... more

My daughter and I went on the 4 hour deluxe snorkel trip. Wished we would have gone on their early morning express trip instead. We didn't see any special type of fish while snorkeling at Molokini, although we did see 2 turtles while snorkeling in Turtle Town. I felt it was more of a food fest - breakfast, morning snacks,... more

We went on the sunset cruise recently and had an absolutely wonderful time.. The captain and his crew did everything they could to make everyone feel comfortable on board. The food was good and the cocktails were great. We were also lucky to see one of the best sunsets we have ever seen. We can highly recommend taking a cruise... more
