![]() The snorkeling and diving are amazing in the location with beautiful coral and abundant fish and sea urchin. The small zodiac boat was also nice because we only had 10 people on the boat (during the height of Omicron capacity of 14) and were able to dock at the outer edge of the crater where the underwater scape, sea life, and water were more interesting. It was a smooth but fast ride for anyone who has sea sickness. It only took about 15 minutes to get from Makena to the crater, so you don’t waste time and get to enjoy the water and snorkeling. We absolutely loved this snorkeling trip! We took the 9:30am departure, which worked out very nicely, because we didn’t have to get up early, and the large boats left shortly as we arrived Molokini, so it was very peaceful and uncrowded. It was very pleasant and fun but then on the way back we got drenched again with the spray. ![]() We finally went to our last spot and saw turtles. Nothing to see and super wavy/almost a bit scary. The waves were questionable so we went to another nearby spot and got in. We then got drenched on the way to our third spot- it was freezing and salt water was all over us and my 10 year old was freezing. We went to our first spot, didn’t see a huge variety of fish. Music selection was awesome but so loud, because speakers were at the back of the boat. We had been told the back of the boat was the calmest so we sat there. No acknowledgment that we had talked about wanting one which was odd. Fast forward…we boarded the boat and we’re on the way and asked for the wetsuit and were told that they are on the truck. Nothing further was discussed regarding the wetsuit, but we made it very clear that we’d like one. We wholeheartedly agreed that we’d like a wetsuit. ![]() Our captain mentioned that wet suits were available and he specifically said to us that our ten year old daughter should use one as she’s young and may get cold. We met up at the boat and signed all paperwork and got a brief description of what to expect on our trip. My husband and I decided that our next visit will be when the whales are here and we’ll make sure that we will go with Redline to experience the majestic whales. Based on this experience, we will continue to choose Redline Rafting for our Maui snorkeling excursions. The kids were surprisingly eager to get in the water and they had no trouble with the gear! We all marveled at the number of fish that we saw at Molikini and the snorkeling with the turtles was the BEST!! Tim and Sean were so much fun and the kids loved sitting in the front of the boat for the adventure. We each had someone to snorkel with and they gave us the boundaries of where to stay to be safe. They helped everyone prepare for getting into the ocean and made sure that they were comfortable in the water. Safety was the beginning of the trip and then we learned about the various islands and the fish that we were going to see. They enjoyed the fast ride with the raft and the staff was so good with them. This year we had 3 teens with us and they had never snorkeled in the ocean. What a fun ride! We go snorkeling with Redline Rafting every time we visit Maui.
