Waaaaaaay too many people. Snorkeling was at Molokini was a five (1-10 scale). Also went to Turtle Town. Gave that a four (1-10 scale). Spent $120 per person to see three turtles. All the old folks kicked their way through/past to keep up with the guide. "Breakfast" is a two (1-10 scale). Some scrambled eggs, fruit and pastries. Plate was about 5" in diameter. I guess it's probably best not to eat before snorkeling but you do have an hour before dropping anchor at a Molokini. Lunch was a pulled pork sandwich and coleslaw. Could have Teriyaki Chicken if pulled pork wasn't your choice. Pulled pork was very good! Jumping off the boat (from 15' up) was fun. Did it several times. Think that made up some for the lack of fish/snorkeling. If you don't think of it as a snorkeling "let down" and just take it as an opportunity to be out on the water for half day, then you got what you paid for. The staff is very helpful and friendly. The Captain has s good sense of humor too! read more

What a fantastic experience her family had on this terrific boat and its crew.. the ride the food the entertainment and the sunset was more than we could have hoped for.. thanks for the wonderful experience read more

Took a snorkeling excursion with them this morning. Best excursion ever!!! The entire crew was so friendly and helpful. I truly appreciate their detail for safety for everyone on the boat and in the ocean. Best snorkeling mask provided, with their instruction and mask, no leaks, no burning eyes! Tasty "hot" breakfast, not continental, then lunch as well. Nice variety of sandwiches and pasta salad. Also had fruit and vegetables in between one of our stops. Water, alcohol and non-alcoholic drinks are also plentiful! Can't forget to mention the homemade cookies and banana bread too!! Huge crew to serve you, no way that you were not well taken care of. Great photographer too, to capture those precious memories!!! Next time on Maui, it will be the first excursion booked!! THANK YOU CALYPSO CHARTERS FOR SUCH A FABULOUS EXCURSION!!! read more

Amazing experience thank you for making this such a special time for us. Food and service impeccable. Highly recommend.

What a great boat and crew! We had a party of 6 with most people never having snorkeled before. The crew made the entire experience so comfortable and they all had smiles and were full of cheer. We saw amazing fish, dolphins and turtles and had a great lunch on board. Yummy! I would highly recommend this tour! read more

Do not recommend. We were sat on the storage bins with rails in our back the entire way out, then got kindly upgraded to the bathroom cooler/vomit rail (you'll see) for the remainder of the trip. The trip was clearly overbooked, as we were not the only ones without proper seating/tables. Constantly having to throw everything aside and let the crew in to put the lines away, restock the ice from the cooler, etc. Crew was fine- no issues. read more

My husband and I went snorkeling with them for our honeymoon and it was so much fun! It was my first time snorkeling and they were very knowledgeable. The staff were very friendly and knew a lot of history about the islands and the sea animals. We even stopped a few times to watch whales that were nearby. They offered a boxed breakfast with fruit and pastries and then sandwiches, coleslaw and a cookie for lunch. They had $2 beers and cocktails after the snorkeling too which was awesome! They has sunscreen onboard too for those who didn't have reef safe sunscreen. We highly recommend touring with them! read more

The trip was good. Saw a few whales. The crew and service were great!! Pricing was fare.

Great trip, staff were wonderful, the Molokini Crater water is fabulously clear with loads of tropical fish. The food was good and the trip back happy hour basically at their cost. Well done! read more

What an amazing experience! 10 Stars, for the experience, the crew and the wonderful time our family had. We had 2 adults & two teenagers in our never before snorkeled family so I was extremely hesitant about booking a snorkel adventure since I'm not an ocean person - lake yes, ocean no. But the husband and son wanted to, daughter was a little unsure but we figured, what the heck we'll book it and see how it goes. So, so happy we did, this crew immediately put us at ease with what to do, how to do it and where to go/look if you needed help. Their encouraging and positive attitudes truly made the trip not just ok, but fun and engaging. The crater was gorgeous not a ton of different types of fish but the floor and what fish were there were great to watch. A very experienced snorkeler might find it too pedestrian but it was perfect for our first time. The jump deck + 2 slides made it even more fun if you needed a breather from snorkeling. We did the snuba experience they offer, wow, highly recommend!! I mean we went from never snorkeling to being able to go under with the snuba gear and really get a feel for the area. It's worth the money. I panicked at first and the gentleman who guides was absolutely amazing about calming me down and getting me back under water. Unfortunately after the crater the water was too murky for turtle town (and I appreciate the safety first attitude from the crew regarding this) so we took a turn around the beaches and saw a mama whale with her calf and another whale. The photographer they had on board, Marley, was incredible, I'm a terrible photographer but I tried my hand at their underwater gear and it was fun. I'm so glad he was around because we'll actually get some shots worth keeping to remember our amazing day. I can't remember all the crew's names but I can say that every single one of them, from the young lady keeping an eye on everyone in the water up to the captain, they were all wonderful. This crew was so great they made us feel comfortable enough to rent some gear and give snorkeling a try at a few other spots! read more

Amazing trip!!! Shoutout to Marley and G!! Great staff, amazing locations, and all around incredible experience!!!

Absolutely the best time. The crew was informed, and professional but laid back and entertaining and extremely knowledgeable and cautious. We had the most fantastic trip. We went on the snorkeling trip and aside from outstanding snorkeling (one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen), we had the most amazing whale and dolphin experiences ever. The captain took his time to allow us to take in everything. Will come back! Marley Rutkowski, our photographer for the day, took the most amazing photos and was the nicest guy ever. Can't say enough about this crew and experience. Best part of our families trip to Maui! Thank you. read more

We did a morning snorkeling trip to Molokini and turtle town. The crew serviced a nice selection of fruit and pastries with coffee, tea bags/hot water or fruit juices on the way out. Molokini was calm, clear water, and a small assortment of fish today, but enjoyed it just the same. About 45 minutes we came back to the boat and they had out cut up vegetables with ranch dressing, they also opened up the slide for anyone who wanted to enjoy it. Then we we're off to turtle town, about 30 minute ride. We saw lots of turtles and a variety of colorful fish. After about 45 minutes we headed back to the boat, the crew had turkey, ham, or a veggie sandwich, with tomato, lettuce, and cheese. With cookies at the end. Excellent trip, highly recommend! read more

Tour booking company Viator did not convey my food allergy but Calypso Charters made accommodation for me, thankfully. Their staff was GREAT and we had a wonderful wedding anniversary. Thanks, Calypso! read more

We whale watched on 2 hr calypso out of Maalaea; 1:30-3:30; so enjoyable we repeated the experience several days later. By booking through boss frog's, money saved! We had a different "Captain, whale expert" on each ship, and both were amazing! The crew extremely helpful, very patient with a few wheelchairs and walkers, very helpful to everyone plenty of room to sit, walk around the ship to get 360° views, or go inside to take a break from the sun.... Great beverages, alcoholic and not... Very very reasonably priced . There is ample parking, at $.50 an hour! Whales? Tails? Babies? Breaching? Ooooh yeeeah. read more

My snorkel/Snuba trip to Molokini and Turtle Town on 2/22/22 was not only a high point of my recent trip to Maui, it is a definitely a high point in my life. The crew was amazing and very skilled. Everyone went above and beyond for me. Whitney greeted me with much enthusiasm, even after I tripped in the wee, dusk hours-I arrived at 625am for a 645am arrival time-and skinned my right knee. They helped me and assured me that as long as I could walk and climb, I could go. Whitney schooled me on the best seat for whale watching as I was third in line. I met Annie, who was in charge of Snuba and she got me signed up straight away. As you board you meet photographer Marley, the coolest guy with a welcoming smile who takes your first pre-embark photo. This cruise includes a continental breakfast and light lunch. Anthony was right there to help this 60 year old up two flights of steep stairs with my plate of fresh fruit, muffins, and beverage. Had I known we would get to see whales and dolphins I might not have booked a separate trip, but this is not Calypso's fault. I just point it out to say that this is an added perk of this trip if you are there during whale season. We saw close tail flaps, fin waves, and nose breeches. At some point as soon as you head out, everyone in the crew further introduces themselves to you. Annie comes with paperwork for Snuba, Marley comes to arm band all that want additional photos which I highly recommend because of his expertise and diving skills, and others to check on you. All who have signed up for Snuba are called to the first deck for thorough and well communicated instructions that as you find out later you will need to follow. If you've ever wanted a small taste what scuba diving might be like, I highly recommend Snuba. This experience changed me in a way that is hard to express. I chose the second group at Molokini so as to get used to the feel of the water while snorkeling and orient myself to Molokini. I highly suggest doing your Snuba dive here if you can instead of Turtle Town due to the clarity of the water. During the Snuba Annie and the assistant Teague who helped me with my wet suit, were amazing. They make sure everyone is good to dive down and communicate well with the well instructed hand signals and little white boards. Annie let us know that she could hear whales and what fish and other sea life we were viewing. Teague was near me the whole time and so much fun underwater. When we came out of the water and he told me that I killed and am a natural, it was sincere and meant a lot to me. Annie also told me I did very well. Marley was right there diving with us and taking great pics without being in the way. He became a welcomed part of the whole experience above and below the surface of the water as well as on the boat. In fact once you're in the water, you learn that the entire crew has experience in either sea life, life guard/life saving, scuba/Snuba, or some combination of these. They are all very well skilled in the service industry as well as in the water. For example, Whitney who greeted me was helping with life guard duties as was Anthony and Boz who was great with snorkeling and fins setup for every passenger on the way out to Molokini. There were others whose names I can't remember at this point but all were helpful. And the captain was also great and well skilled. We saw a pod of not so shy at all dolphins as we arrived at Turtle Town (near Makena Beach). I had a close encounter with a sea turtle coming up for air and this large turtle led me to a cave where I saw an octopus, a puffer fish facing off with a long nosed neon eel of some kind, and many schools of fish. On the way back to the dock, I enjoyed the pulled pork sandwich and coleslaw with more fresh fruit. The crew is great about announcing how to settle up bar tabs and/or other add-ons if any (Snuba, Marley photos, etc). Everyone said goodbye to me and took pics with me, and I'm sure they did with any disembarking passengers who wished to do so. I suggest arriving early as close parking might be limited. There is plenty of parking at the shopping area nearby but it would be a little bit more of a walk that you should plan for. When I return to Maui and I will I would do this trip again if I decide not to spend a lot more money on a smaller boat but that would be the only reason. Everyone I mentioned treated me in a way that was so special to me, I actually miss them now that I'm home, and I can't really say that about my other excursions while I was there. And it isn't that the other excursions weren't wonderful in their own way. It's that the Calypso experience on 2/22/22 was way way so above and beyond every other paid excursion while in Maui, that it was the highlight of my trip. Mahalo and aloha to you all!! read more

Went for the dinner cruise on Friday and the whale watching Saturday. Crew were lovely both times and very supportive and helpful around disability issues. Food was good. And the whale watching!!! I lost count of how many whales we saw. What an afternoon! Highly recommend. read more

Fantastic day out with family and a friend, so 4 adults. We booked directly with the owner so we got a good rate and they were super helpful with advice about what to wear and take with us. Easy parking at Maalaea harbour on the pier so a short stroll to the boat. Once you are onboard you help yourself to breakfast (scrambled eggs, strudel, cinnamon buns, fruit salad and drinks, all tasty) and after a quick info session off you go. We were lucky to pick a beautiful day in Maui with clear water and blue skies. The boat made a few stops to let a whale with her calf swim past and we were also lucky enough to see a whale tail slap too. Marvelous! Molokini was wonderful, plenty of fish, they swarm around each new boat so you are in the midst of them when you jump off the back of the boat. I will say that with so many boats we did find it a bit crowded in the water, but it was still a great experience. Turtle town was less crowded and we did see 3 turtles. The crew look after everyone like a well oiled machine, safety paramount, yet they still make it 100% fun, with a great comedy routine for their pep talks. They all work hard so make sure you tip them. Lunch was served at the end of turtle town so you could eat on the way back to shore. Pork, chicken, burgers, salad, coleslaw, burger buns, plenty for everyone. Drinks were wisely served after the snorkeling and access to water was finished, and they are cheap. Make sure you hold onto every piece of paper, plate and cup as you don't want them to go overboard. If they do the boat has to stop to pick them up as there is a zero trash policy, which is a brilliant idea with so much vulnerable sea life around. They have fins and snorkel gear available for free use onboard. You can pay extra for a Snuba experience. Smaller kiddies can be towed along on a specially made float so they can join in with the rest of the family. My adult daughter loved the slides...lol. Couldn't keep her off them :) I did get sea sick, even though I took Dramamine, but I am very, very prone to it, and everyone else in our group was fine and eating lunch happily. There is a designated puking overboard area right beside the heads so don't panic...hahahaha. Keep to the lower deck and stand outside watching the horizon and you will feel a lot better. Once I fed the fish my breakfast I felt fine. Take towels and a water bottle to save on single use cups, make sure your camera or phone is charged, sunglasses, rash shirt and a hat and get ready to enjoy a fantastic day out. The crew supply reef safe sun cream so use it - don't use your own non reef safe ones, keep our reefs healthy and the chemicals out of the water, and don't apply it to the areas of your face where your snorkel masks goes or you will get it in your eyes. The Calypso is am impressive boat, perfectly made for the job it is doing, and the crew and boat combines make your day a truly memorable one. read more

Over booked, not enough seat & staff was extremely rude. PAy parking boxes do not work

we were upgraded to this experience & boy are we so glad we were!! this was an incredible experience. as first time snorkelers, we didn't know what to expect, but they guide you the whole way. our tour made 2 different stops. they were both breaktaking. we saw 3 turtles and an eel at the 2nd location & looooooots of fish at the first. the boat ride was pretty smooth. they are 2 bathrooms on board, 3 decks to sit & view from (so if you want to choose your seat i recommend getting there very early). the provided breakfast, snacks & lunch. all were terrific! next time we are in maui, we would definitely book with them! read more

We went on their sunset dinner cruise and had the absolute BEST time! Everyone was so friendly and went above and beyond to make the evening enjoyable. There was a live musician which we weren't expecting but really, really liked! Great food, great service, great people, and great music. Cannot recommend this enough. Definitely worth checking out on your next trip to Maui. Be sure to bring cash to tip the hard working & well deserving crew! read more

Booked this charter for the sunset dinner cruise. The boat itself was great. Large spacious and comfortable. The view out on the open water was spectacular! Caught an incredible Maui sunset from the top deck of the boat. The crew was great. Very friendly and professional and went the extra mile. The problem I had with the dinner cruise was "the dinner." The food was not good and needs a serious upgrade. The non alcoholic drinks were fine but the Mai Ti' and the Margaritas were not good. Probably because they don't have a dedicated bar tender making them rather just one of the crew and the crew does everything. They all have multiple jobs. The dinner options were Prime Rib, BBQ Ribs, and BBQ chicken. None of those selections were good. read more

Morning snorkel cruise: Everything about our tour was awesome. The boat and equipment was clean everything was organized the crew helped seat everyone the seats were great, there was an abundance of food and beverages available the entire time, they even gave out ice cream bars at the end that they said was something new they were trying out- very memorable and a great way to stand a paper from other tours! The crew made our time especially enjoyable, I didn't catch everyone's names and I may be butchering names as I only heard them a few times but ( Bos,Corey, Chaden, Whitney) had great communication and friendly playful banter which was fun, but they all did amazing work and were available for any questions the captain slowed to watch whales when they were spotted when our snorkeling they had many lifeguards out in the water the whole time which made the whole experience feel safe as well!

Amazing snorkeling adventure in Maui. Thanks to the crew of Calypso!!! Absolutely worth it!

Really awesome company. The crew was super great and friendly. Had no issues at all during the trip. The boat captain was awesome by making short stops to do alittle whale watching (if one did appear nearby) on our way to Molokini crater to snorkel, a 2 for 1 kind of deal :D. Also the food served was delicious. read more

We went out snorkeling and on the way, a whale popped up right next to me. It was aweSome. We snorkeled and saw fish, my son swam with a tuRtle and did flips off the boat. I drank Mai Tais, ate good food and had great conversation. The crew was fun and knowledgeable. We had a great time! read more

Can't say enough about how great this experience was. My wife and I still rummage through the videos of the clear blue waters and incredible array of fish!

Shoutout to Ali the incredible photographer and Eric S for also being such great crew members!! Thank you and we hope to be back one day soon! read more

Calypso Charters - Snorkeling Near Me - Wailuku, Hawaii

Call them for better pricing than purchasing online. Bring towels, (they have reef safe sunscreen on board), rashguard to keep warmer in the water if you don't want to buy theirs ($20) nor rent a wetsuit ($10), and maybe a windbreaker or cover up if you don't have a rash guard as it's windy on the ride. They are at the end of the first dock as you enter (slip 82). 1/3 of the people were there when we arrived at the recommended 45 min before departure time. Look for the parking signs to pay for parking (for our 730 -1230 time slot we paid til 1pm...got back to the car around 1240). They'll ask for you group name to see if a waiver was signed (we did but they didn't have it for some reason and had to redo it there). Bring Dramamine to take at this time! Once they checked us in, the photographer took a photo of our group. Yes this is a big boat (3 decks) so there are a lot of people on it compared to other tours, but it wasn't crazy as they are very efficient. I thought they did a great job/great service. I picked them for a number of reasons. There were tables (2/4/6 seaters - come at the suggested arrival time to more likely get your choice of seatings as there is a line to wait to get on) with cup holders for comfortable seating. Before the Molokini stop ("1.5hr"), they provided us breakfast (blueberry muffins, pastries, fruits, scrambled eggs though cold with good sausages that I made into a sandwich with the available buns, and POG/OJ/ginger ale/sodas/hot chocolate packages/tea bags/water). A crew member came around and handed out snorkels/masks to the women and then the men and asked for our shoe size for the fins. Their equipment was good. After the first dive, vegetable platters (cucumbers, celery, broccoli, cauliflower, grape tomatoes, carrots) were provided with ranch. Lunch was provided after turtle town ("1 hr" 2nd stop). It included turkey and cheese croissants with lettuce (mayo/mustard packages on the side) and sloppy pulled pork buns with bbq sauce. You can add cole slaw/tomatoes/onions if desired. You can purchase alcoholic drinks during lunch (after the 2 stops) which I thought was smart for a family trip as people won't over drink. They provided ice cream after lunch (one of those big variety boxes of drumsticks/ice cream sandwiches, popsicles, ice cream bars on a stick). My daughter isn't big on snorkeling so I liked that they had a small slide and a jump off area for her when she got tired of snorkeling. Though there are more people on this boat, they had a lot of lanes/ladders to climb in and out of the water so both times entering the water I only waited behind 1-2 people and at most one person when getting back on the boat - very efficient/quick. It was just a bit crowded in the water until you spread out. (I just put my arm in front of me to not get kicked in the face). I was worried about this when booking, but overall I was very impressed with this tour. Our pictures (though there were many of us in particular as we asked for an orange wrist band for her to recognize that we wanted photos) didn't come out so great though. Only the photos of my kids under the water were awesome so it didn't justify $150 for 4 people ($100 for 2 people that I learned from the couple near us). If you purchase the photos they give you a link (to all the photos taken of everyone) to go through and choose at home. If more of the photos had turned out better then I would have bought them. I want to thank the older guy who gave the snorkel lesson and provided me with the over the head blow up snorkeling life jacket and specifically helped me with my goggles. I tipped him extra for his time as well as the suggested tip mentioned by our captain for the crew which i was not at all offended by as someone mentioned. The captain is just wanting to look out for his crew who worked hard to make our trip fun. I appreciated the recommendation (which doesn't need to be followed if you don't agree and I thought it was reasonable, $10 pp in your group) as sometimes we don't know how much to tip. He was a great captain/commentator as well. I was worried about the number of people and wondered if I should have gone with another highly rated charter initially, but we thought the Calypso crew did a great job and we had a great experience. read more

This was super cool, one of the top highlights of our family trip to Maui! Captain Tim and his crew were THE BEST. They helped me and my daughter overcome our hesitation about snorkeling with total patience, absolute professionalism and a friendly demeanor. The boat rides themselves were fun. They had food, just like they said they would. The sites they took us to were phenomenal. We swam alongside giant turtles, saw all types of colorful fish and played in the bluest water I have ever seen -- bluer than the ocean in Mykonos, Greece and that's saying something. It's worth every penny. My only advice -- be sure to put sunblock on your back because it gets directly exposed to a lot of sun while snorkeling. Thank you -- we loved it! read more

Unbelievable. I was blown away by all aspects of this operation. The captain was friendly but very capable. The crew was enthusiastic and genuine. Very well organised and very professional and yet fun and laid back at the same time. Molokini and Turtle Town were terrific destinations. I borrowed the offered GoPro from Marley the photographer. He was terrific as well, taking innumerable photos in and under the water. read more

Just got back from our trip to Molikini and "turtle town" on the Calypso and felt obliged to write a review: First: the crew is very organized and professional and the boat very comfortable. You're in good hands! Who is this trip perfect for? Parties with children or those not very experienced with snorkeling. They are all about safety and making sure everyone has a pleasant experience. They give instruction in how to use their equipment (which I would recommend using.) They set up perimeters with crew on surfboards to keep everyone contained and supervised. They provide a naturalist in the water to guide you to the spots and fish available for best viewing. Same for best shot at seeing turtles. They have a professional photographer in the water with you to capture those great photos you can't get yourself. They make it easy to get those photos transferred as well. There is a fee for this of course. Want to try it yourself? They rent a limited amount of Olympus cameras on board that have the option for zoom! Something that GoPro doesn't really have. If you feel the need, wetsuits are also available as well as the Snuba, which makes it easy for those that want to swim below the surface with ease, perfect for kids! Speaking of kids, little ones can even lie on a boogie board with a cut out to see underwater. For those not up to getting in the water, there is the glass bottom observation area to look out. Feeling like a little more fun? Then they have the slides or spot to jump off the boat top. About the gear- They really have great gear and you don't need to worry about bringing or caring for yours. We left ours at home and were not disappointed. Also leave the one piece face mask with built in snorkle at home as well. It's much easier to breath in their snorkels. They've got you covered and will help you get set up with glass defogger and even sunscreen as you depart the boat. The 11 step stations into the water make it easy and quick to get in and out. Here's some tips: Make sure your parking is covered until at least 12:30 on the dock. You pay at a kiosk for a ticket to put in your window. It's only a few bucks. Wear your suit onto the ship. There are 3 bathrooms on board. One, is a larger bathroom for changing but it's a lot easier to just be wearing your suit. Changing on a rolling boat in a small bathroom is a little challenging at times when trying to stand on one foot. The food is good! There's lots of fruit along with the eggs, bagels and sandwiches. The cookies you hear about are homemade which is a nice touch. They have ginger ale for those feeling a little queasy, POG, pineapple, and orange juice along with water and bar drinks for those paying after the swim. Now for the experienced snorkelers, you might not like swimming in the crowd. You are limited with perimeters, which makes sense given their safety concerns, so be aware that you'll not be able to go off on your own. You are also amongst other boats in the same cove at Molikini with their own groups. In "Turtle Town" (which is just a name for known areas where turtles congregate off shore near Wailea/ Makena) the boats spread out a little more but your still in the group from the Calypso. All in all it was a pleasant trip, even though we didn't get to see the fish or turtles we were expecting. The reef at Molikini and the friendly fish there were worth seeing. read more
