Molokini 4/17/12
Brianna S.

Molokini is a small uninhabited island about an hour, boating time, away from Maui. There are snorkel tours that leave out of Buzz's Wharf that take you to and fro, and let you swim in this crystal clear waters. They say you can see anywhere from 100-150 feet down, the water is so clear. After going there, I can say that I am a believer! Saw the most gorgeous coral, fish, and even a smaller white tipped reef shark on our trip... But no turtles. If you are looking for a spot to swim with them, try Napili or Black Rock. FYI, the address for Molokini is wrong, somehow got a signal to check in, but the tower must have been in Kihei.

Their customer service is great - communicating all you need to know and do for your dives. They are accommodating, helpful and so stoked you can see their passion in their work. Kanani was AMAZING, such a thorough, patient, fun, encouraging, knowledgeable instructor. When we dive again and need a guide - she is the one! My son enjoyed completing his cert with her, talks highly of her and is inspire 100 percent by her. Not only is she a great communicator but she is so passionate about diving and the ocean. She educates you on ocean stewardship and protection. Mahalo for keeping our oceans healthy, our diving save and fun!

After reading many rave reviews for Maui Dreams, I enrolled in the Rescue Diver class through their…read moreshop. I scheduled the class a few months in advance, and they even advertised it to recruit another student (after all, you can't rescue yourself!). I learned from the best--Kerri is a true expert in both diving and instruction. He is incredibly patient and explains concepts clearly. He took the time to answer all of our questions and really instilled the importance of dive safety--that anything can happen at any time, and you always need to stay aware, especially in and around the water. We practiced multiple real-life rescue scenarios in the water, which made the training feel practical and incredibly valuable. I learned so many important skills from Kerri--both ones I hope I never have to use and others that I will carry with me on every dive going forward. I look forward to diving with Kerri and the Maui Dreams crew the next time I'm on Maui!

Charlie and Michelle are awesome. We rented some snorkel and beach gear for the week and decided…read moreto join Capt. Charlie and his crew for a trip to Molokini. We were 4 snorkelers with 6 divers. We had to be at the marina at 5:20am and the early start was worth it. We were the 1st boat out to Molokini. We got to watch the sunrise while the scuba divers got ready. Capt Charlie was the over watch for us snorkelers and he gave us very clear instructions on where to go and how far away from the boat we were allowed to wander. Next stop was Turtle town, we only saw one turtle but still enjoyed an hour snorkeling around. The staff was great and the snorkeling was fun. We went back in to Scuba Shack a couple of times and every time they gave us great suggestions on places to eat that didn't disappoint.

Michael did a great job of going over what to expect. He did a great job during the dive as I originally struggled a bit, mostly due my long layoff from diving and the current. However he kept me calm and I improved my technique during the dive, I was use to drift dives. I was originally scheduled for a 2nd dive but we spent 55 minutes on the 1st dive, more than I expected. I didn't expect that length of time or that heavy of a current. Scuba Shack refunded the cost of the 2nd dive. It turned out 1 dive was perfect amount of time and we saw lots of fish, juvenile rays and even a turtle.

I will say this was a great snorkel trip! The staff was amazing and accommodating to the guests…read more The boat is smaller than I thought and mentally compared it to another snorkel trip we did the week before where I had a huge comfy lounger. So if you're looking for that, this isn't it. I was slightly disappointed but not taking of anything because this was on me. The crew was heavily focused on ensuring guests were happy and took us to two different snorkel spots which was something many of the other companies don't do. Food and drinks were good too which helps. Thank you for a great trip.

Absolutely one of my favorite activities is to be on the open water & what a Mother Nature awesome…read morehour to snorkel with the tropical fishes in the clear blue water of Molokini. I found the crew to be so-so and not 100% engaged in their work with exception of the snuba instructor. The Captain that day was particularly unfriendly and this is clearly a job to him, not passion. The breakfast was blah as was the lunch. I did appreciate the beer. They should have had bottled water and soda cans which would have fared better on the boat. One of the highlights was reeling in a 6 foot, 20# ono which completely delighted my daughters. Biggest downside- they didn't let us take our own pictures preferring their photographer to do it. The cost for pictures was completely ridiculous. The grumpy captain clearly did not want to share the fish stating that it would be at least an hour before fillet and dividing it up amongst the crew. I chose not to let the crew and the photography to sour the experience. What a joy it was to share the experience of swimming with the fish with my daughters. Biggest perk- prescription sunglasses that allowed me to see 20/20 clear! Be aware- the parking cost is monstrous :( Totally wish I could own my own boat to be out and about snorkeling in the absolute gorgeous Maui ocean life!

I can't remember who my favorite dive operator was but Mike Severns is now my favorite. Booking…read morewasn't smooth but it was worth it to get on this boat. Everyone was nice, fun, helpful, and friendly. First of all, they were the ONLY op to request to see a negative covid test and insisted everyone wear a mask while on the boat. Other ops asked everyone to wear a mask but only enforced it when near the dock. Secondly, Pauline was our DM and a gem. You know she is passionate about diving and the creatures in the ocean. She goes into depth about animal behavior which I found fascinating. Before we jumped in, she told us about an octopus with eggs in a small crevice under a tank. She explained they would be difficult to spot but we really had to get our head down low (and she wasn't kidding). The boat is capped at 6 divers but we only had 5 so we took our time to find them. Everyone patiently waited their turn and no one cut the line. Someone mentioned MS is not patient with newbies but that's not what I observed. They answered all questions and made sure everyone was comfortable before jumping into the water and before we descended. I was a little cold but thoroughly enjoyed each dive. Lastly, they have the BEST snacks. They have fresh baked cinnamon buns, cookies and banana bread. I can't recommend them enough.

Ya know, at the time we went, which was a week after the tourism opened up, it was rough and tough…read moreto find a spot to dive, since I've never dove in Maui before. Pauline from Mike Severn hit me up, not 5 days before and was able to swing me into a dive the day after I arrived. It was really awesome and very informative, it's my first dive of the year and I was super excited, I've also never been to Molokini as well. We saw an octopus, a couple eels and also a friggin shark! which was really cool! They made a good job of keep everyone socially distanced and keeping everyone safe. I also like the fact you head out at like 6AM so beat the crowds! Great company to dive with!!

I booked 3 boats dives on Tuesday and 2 boat dives on Wednesday with Ed Robinson's Diving Adventures. I would've booked 2 more boat dives with them on Thursday if I didn't have to hang out with family. Ahhhh... They took me to the coolest dive spots and I love how the dive groups were small because the dives didn't seem crowded at all. Meetup time is 630 am at the small boat ramp at 2800 S. Kihei. You fill out paperwork when you get there then they help you set up gear. If you want Nitrox let the staff know in advance and I think it's $19/tank. You get a lot of freedom diving with Ed Robinson and crew, so long as you dive safely and stay out of deco, and they're very open to site suggestions/requests. I love it! Out of the 5 dives I did with them I liked The Apartments, 85, and Red Hill the best. Transportation to and from the boat ramp and breakfast are not included but snacks, drinks, deli style sandwiches, and towels are. I would definitely recommend Ed Robinson Diving Adventures and prefer them over other dive companies. You will get more attention and be taken to cooler sites with this staff. Can't wait to come back and dive with them more! I won't dive with any other dive company in Maui again!

Incredible crew, lovely boat, delicious food, and fabulous entertainment. Our cruise was last Thursday (9/3/26), and as the hurricane was beginning to make things very windy around the islands, we couldn't go too far out to sea, so our crew made sure we still had a great spot to view the sunset, all while sticking close to the coast to keep us safe. Would definitley recommend to anyone!

I chose this particular tour because it was a smaller group size and I did not want to feel crowded or overwhelmed on a boat with strangers. It was the perfect amount of people, and my husband and I ended up chatting with most of the other passengers, having lots in common. Our captain was Caiden, who was extremely kind, informative, and entertaining. We also had crewmates Sienna, Diego, and Jim looking out for us and making sure that we were comfortable and had all of our wants and needs met. I felt completely safe and comfortable the entire trip and I appreciated having a certified lifeguard on boat with us. The snorkeling experience was phenomenal and being pregnant, it made me feel so calm and relaxed. I appreciated learning the history of the two various locations we snorkeled at and the opportunity to see a sea turtle. The ship itself was pristine, and the restrooms were some of the cleanest I have ever experienced on a boat. The breakfast and lunch that they served us was tasty, and the macadamia nut cookies at the end were the perfect sweet treat. I appreciated that they were able to offer me mocktails since I cannot drink at this time, and those were tasty as well. This experience was worth every penny and I would definitely come back and do it again.
