Our snorkel tour and guides were great. The captain (didn't catch the spelling of his name, but it started with K) and his assistant Jake were very helpful throughout the trip. Our captain had a good sense of humor that made the experience relaxing. He also provided information on the surrounding islands. The boat is smaller than others I have been on, which meant a bit of bouncing and getting wet but it made the ride more fun, imo. The snorkeling at Molokini is always great and easy for beginners. I would recommend this two hour tour to anyone.

Eye-opening & beautiful!!!

Ruth_B, Nov 2023

We had such a fabulous time!! Our small group enjoyed every minute ~ from the cool cruise out to the crater, seeing the amazing underwater world & learning about the Molokini geology. The crew were great fun and ensured we were safe & secure. It concerned me how many other snorkelers were there; how much of an environmental impact we may cause with our sunscreen, diet, shampoo, deodorant, motorized engines, etc. This trip really enhanced my deep respect for Hawaii & its unique, beautiful environment. Mahalo, Redline Rafting!!!

Great trip, great captains!

The captain and first mate were awesome. They were very informative and concerned with our safety. The beauty of the crater above and below the water was awesome!

Thank you for the ‘crowning touch’ to our vacation!

It was truly easy to book online and the Captain and crew were excellent! Very friendly and funny too! They took time to explain all the safety issues and gave us a smooth ride to Molokini. The water there was calm and crystal clear! We had a fantastic time!!!

Wonderful experience

Amazing experience! The motorboat trip was exciting, but the highlight was snorkeling inside Molokini crater. The beauty and serenity of nature (and the tropical fish) was incredible.

Great snorkeling trip to Molokini!

Deborah_M, Aug 2023

Fun trip to and from Molokini. Felt very safe with “K” (aka humble) and Allie. Took us to a great spot with a lot to see and away from other boats. Would recommend!

We had a great time today on the snorkel tour, our crew was very nice, funny and knowledgeable. Trip is perfect length and Molikini is easy to get to, right out of Kihei. Boat holds about 15, so group is nice and small.

Awesome company
