Hi Laurabennett10, good review is it easy to get into and out of the water? We are older and dont want to have to haul ourselves back into the boat.>>>

May 6, 2018|

Answer

The ladder went all the way into the water but you do still need to be able to climb up. They assisted as much as they could for those who needed it.

Does your tour Leilani "Best Day on Maui" go to Molokini crater and Turtle town for snorkeling? depart 8am Maalaea return 2pm. Thanks

May 6, 2018|

Answer

When we went in the tour it did both stops. The crew was amazing and was looking out for turtles for us at turtle town. It was an awesome day. The boat is older but well maintained and the crew was fun.

We do provide life jackets if needed, and other flotation devices. They are allowed to join the tour, but we can’t advise they snorkel if they don’t know how to swim. Hope this helps. Mahalo! -Amber C. Director of Social... More
