We went this morning and it was incredible! Joe and Kyle were the most friendly, most knowledgeable guides. They were extremely welcoming and accommodating. The snorkeling was amazing. The spot they took us to at the crater was superb- we were away from busier boats and had a whole pristine area to ourselves with TONS of very friendly and beautiful fish. Then they took us to Turtle Barrel which was FULL of turtles. It was incredible seeing so many turtles. Joe and Kyle were so helpful with de-fogging our goggles and also providing aquafor for my mustache to help my goggles seal better (who knew?). Lots of juice and water was served along with Maui potato chips and sandwiches. We can’t say enough good things about this experience. They provide flippers, goggles, snorkel, granola bars, drinks, floaties (if needed), and lunch. Our group was only 16 people which made for great snorkeling. Book these guys instead of the big business boats for a personalized touch. We’ll be back!

Captain Brandon and Jess were awesome. They reviewed all of the safety information before we left on the trip. I felt safe and in good hands the entire time. They provided us with historical information about the area and the coral reef. They were very knowledgeable and were able to answer all of our questions. I would recommend this trip with them to everyone.

Highly recommend this trip!! Captain Brandon and Jess were so knowledgeable about the island. From the cultural history to the coral reef, they had so much insight to offer! Brandon adjusted the schedule according to weather, so we were the first group of the day to see the turtles in Turtle Town. I personally saw 4 or 5 of them. Then we went to Molokini Island and saw so many beautiful fish and eels. It was an unforgettable experience and the best snorkeling I’ve ever done! They reviewed all safety instructions before our boat left the dock, and I felt safe the entire time. 5 stars, Brandon and Jess!! ❤️

We booked this snorkeling trip for our first ever Hawaii trip. Honestly, I booked with Makena Coast charters because of the cool aerial photo of the Molokini crater, super shallow reason! Got to the dock, met Cap'n Joe and his first mate Lucia ( She was AMAZING ) okay Joe too. We boarded the boat "The Getaway" The trip was to go snorkeling and visit a second location to view the turtles. Sadly the weather the previous few days really murked up the water so we couldn't do that, but, that meant we had way more time snorkeling multiple locations ( instead of one ) within the crater. That was great, my daughter didn't want to leave. We ended up going to the beach in front of Mama's fish shack and seeing the turtles there ( per Joe's recommendation) we scored. This small locally owned 1 boat fleet made us feel welcome and catered to. If you are not a swimmer like me, dont worry, they will get you hooked up and safe in the water regardless of your swimming skill level. There were only 12 people on board unlike the forty at a time the bigger companies pack on board, those other big boats look like an elementary lunch recess in the water. We will use Makena on return trips, just hope we get to see Joe & Lucia again. P.S. Great sandwiches, specialty chips and drinks.

Awesome tour! Jess and Brandon were super great, friendly, and able to answer all of our questions. They did an amazing job making sure we got the best experience! The snorkeling was beautiful and we were able to see so much. Definitely recommend.

We absolutely loved it! We were lucky enough to have perfect weather for the trip and couldn't have asked for a better experience. A big portion of any excursion that helps shape the experience is the interaction with the staff/guides. Joe and Lucia excelled in every facet of making sure that each guest was able to have an enjoyable and safe experience. 100% recommend and hopefully we make it back to the island in the future for another tour.

Captain Brandon and Jess were the very best of tour guides and provided us with an amazing experience. Brandon put a lot of thought into the trip and adjusted plans to accommodate upcoming weather. Because of his foresight, we were the only boat who went to Turtle Town early which gave us the advantage of snorkeling there in calm waters. It was fantastic. Our group saw at least six turtles, maybe even more! We also had the pleasure of a rare monk seal sighting, not once but TWICE during our trip. Finally, I don’t know how to even describe the underwater beauty of the Molokini crater. It’s one of those things you truly have to see to believe. The incredibly clear water made the reef and sea life look like a living piece of art. And, we were lucky enough to snorkel the edge of the crater which dropped off into the depth of the ocean which gave us an amazing vibrant blue backdrop for our beautiful swim. Brandon put us on the perfect spots and Jess, our marine biologist, gave us insight and information about everything we saw. Great experience!! Highly recommend this team.
