We had an excellent experience on our PW EcoAdventure tour to Molokini & Turtle Town! First, we appreciated that the port in Maalaea was much closer to our accommodations than Lahaina. We saw an amazing variety of sea life, including an octopus! For me, the most exciting part was that the calm weather allowed us to stop between our two snorkel spots & experience a blue water swim! The tour group went out of their way to share that unplanned experience with us. We seriously swam in 400 ft of clear blue water! It was breathtaking. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. We appreciated that they made an effort to learn the names of everyone in the group. Josh was very knowledgeable, helpful, & encouraging to my 3 teens who were enjoying free diving. All of the staff were happy to share information about the animals/environment we were observing, & they were sure to point things out to us so no one missed out. I love that they helped us not just witness and experience, but also LEARN!

Excellent tour. Other tour booked for a few days earlier with another operator was canceled and we found this immediately available in a couple of days. Well organized wih good guides, nice food and drinks. Parking situation couldhave been better as we were searching 30 min. for it prior to the start of the tour in the wee hours.

Absolutely incredible! My friend and son (age 5) decided to try out snorkeling. Although my son was a little hesitant the crew made his trip. Ms. Ashley was amazing. Each crew member specializes with an ocean animal. They had so many facts they shared. We were lucky enough to spot some whales on the trip too! I couldn’t recommend this tour enough!!! Also I learned it was a non profit. So money spent goes towards research and keeping our oceans safe for the wildlife. It was absolutely incredible. Do yourself a favor and check it out while in Maui!!
