Wildside - Best snorkel trip on the Island
I highly recommend the Pacific Whale Foundation Wildside snorkel trip to Molikini. I took my 70 year old parents for the second time. Last year, I went to a competitor and was disappointed. This would ve great for young children as well.
I had three women captains and a volunteer that educated us and took very good care of everyone. The boat max is 38 and we had 33.

Fantastic snorkeling at Molokini Crater
The PWF Wildside took us on a fantastic snorkeling adventure at the Molokini crater at Maui. We saw countless number of species, including a manta ray and got about an hour of video on GoPro. We made two stops and spent about 2:15 in the water, on the way back a pod of Hawaiian spinner dolphins swam along the boat for a while. We also got lunch and drinks. Thanks to captain Courtney, Emily and Reagan.
