The first spot wasn't good so they went to an alternative site for turtles and it was awesome! Crew was helpful adjusting snorkel gear. My favorite part is our turtle and Molokini Crater tour turned into a whale watching bonus tour. They paused the boat for everyone to see whales breaching. Lunch and snacks were nothing special but appreciated. Highly recommend this tour. I'd do it again.”
