This boat to Molokini is great for snorkeling only. Do not buy their Snuba package (Turtle Town) unless you are comfortable with scuba diving. The Snuba package is a huge TOURIST TRAP, costly and you will not see anything different from snorkeling.

Brochure and advertisement shows an hour of being under water, this is not true. The hour is clocked from when they are talking to you and fitting you with gears. It s about 15 minutes for looking under water. For some reason the mask was slipping & not staying on properly. The diver who was to show us turtles didn t take the time to go around & help those who were not comfortable with the ear pressure. There were 6 Adults and (2) Children when we did the Snuba on March 15th. Keep in mind, we did Intro to Scuba Diving : prior to this trip. A class will not prepare you with the pressure you will feel going 10 feet down with weights holding you down. By the time, you get comfortable the guy will point its time to go back onto the boat. Did not see any turtles. Only turtle saw, was on the boat before we went into the water. Save your money and just snorkel the two areas. Lather yourself constantly with their SPF lotion they provided, if you are sitting on top deck. If you have sensitive skin, lather yourself before getting on the boat.

Suggestions: The crew needs to keep checking both bathrooms. As, one of the bathrooms didn t have any paper towels or bath tissue. Was fortunate that there was a little TP paper left on roll. Had to let the crew know before next person went in. Also, before lunch, they will mention (1) sandwich per person. Later on called out people could come back and have another one or take some home. By then, no one wanted to go up for seconds. Found this announcement ridiculous, because they ended up throwing a lot of food away. They had plenty of food for people to take (2) sandwiches. The meal is just regular food: muffins, Danishes and fruits for breakfast. Your choice of (1) hamburger, (1) chicken breast or (1) hotdog-this should be changed to 1-2 per person. As so much food was wasted. They are limited with alcohol beverages. Do not drink before snorkeling, as you can become dehydrated fast-just wait till you are heading back to shore.



Also, the pictures they sell show a lot of the same people over and over again. Looks like the photographer didn t know how to circle around to take pictures of other people on the excursion. You might find a couple of yourself, if you are lucky. Don t bother buying their pictures, bring your own waterproof camera for better pictures.

The video they show is a private party, as the experience was not like the video. So don t get your hopes set up too high.
