Great crew, fantastic experience. The catamaran is the only way to travel. Plenty of room with a well trained staff.

Crew was awesome. Snorkeling was a lot of fun. Didn’t really get to snorkel for turtles due to current conditions but still had fun.

This was a great activity, the crew really took care of us. We felt like this was a luxury cruise. Food was good and they started serving ice cream on the way back.
The boat is awesome and easy to get off and on from the water. Unfortunately, turtle town was washed out so we didn’t get to snorkel there, but we did see turtles in the water when passing the area.
Highly recommend this tour when visiting Maui.

Great Crew! Super helpful. Super friendly, and what a great experience for our family. Not everyone in our group wanted to stay in the swim. But the glass bottom and slide were a good time for those looking to stay busy and enjoy their time.

What to expect
A tour with the Calypso is one of the most fun on Maui! This stable, high-speed, triple-decker catamaran will get you to two snorkel sites fast: Molokini Crater and Turtle Town, and with all the equipment you need and plenty of food on board, what more could you ask for?
The Calypso leaves from Ma’alaea Harbor, and after you are welcomed aboard by your friendly crew, you can take a look at the delicious continental breakfast. After everyone is settled in, it’s off to the most popular underwater destination in Maui for some Molokini snorkeling! While you are enjoying the feel of the ocean wind in your hair.
Molokini Crater is located between the islands of Maui and Kaho’olawe. This beautiful site is not only home to several fish species, but many species of birds, as well! The crater is a designated Marine Life Conservation District and bird preserve, so no fishing or climbing on the crater is allowed, but wearing flippers and a mask to watch the fish is perfectly wonderful.
After your Molokini snorkeling, Calypso will whisk you to Turtle Town – a second snorkeling spot. Off the south side of Maui, Turtle Town is home to several large sea turtles as well as dynamic reef fish.
