We had such a great time with this adventure! The crew was more than welcoming and accommodating! The boat was nice! Lots of places to sit and observe the views! We loved the 2 slides and the jumping platform! There were plenty of snorkels, noodles, floaties and boogie boards! Even though we brought our own wetsuit, they have some for those who want them! I would highly recommend taking your Molokini snorkeling trip with the Calypso!!! read more

Wonderful experience using them for snorkeling to Molokini! Comfortable and spacious catamaran with all decks having tables and chairs to enjoy the meals and drinks. Very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable captain and staff. As a weak swimmer this is my first successful ocean snorkeling- all due to the expert tips and guidance from the captain and crew targeted for people like myself. Lifeguards will be in the water closely watching you especially the weak swimmers. Completely safe and fun for everyone! Got to see lots of whales making all kinds of stunts. Plenty of food and snacks for everyone. Also provided with a hardworking photographer to capture all moments including the ones in the water. Highly recommend! read more

So fun!! Highlight of our trip...Thank you to the amazing staff, and especially Erika for helping out our grandma in the water. She had SO much fun and felt safe with the reassurance and help :)) read more

The whole crew was amazing and really attentive. The food was really good and filling, by the time dessert came around my group was stuffed. We got the BBQ Chicken, Ribs, and fish. The drinks were good too. Waves do get choppy so would recommend taking a Dramamine for safety precaution but none of my group took any. They do sell some on board I believe. This cruise gives you great views of the island and the sunset. There's a photographer on board as well that will take pictures (for purchase). HIGHLY recommend booking this Sunset Dinner Cruise on your trip. read more

We had a great time on our excursion to Molokini Crater and Turtle Town. Molokini only had lots of black fish, but turtle Town was fun. I had a turtle swimming right beside me! We even saw some dolphins that got up close and personal to our boat. The food was simple (muffins, fruit, eggs & sausages for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch) but we really enjoyed the ice cream bars at the end of a long morning of snorkelling :) read more

The snorkeling cruise on the Calypso was a great way for us to spend a half day on the water while in Maui. The tour is on the larger side, but very well-organized. The crew was knowledgeable, and kept everyone well-hydrated and well-fed during the day. We were able to stop at 2 locations to snorkel -- not at Molokini, as the water were deemed too choppy to safely get in. I appreciated the judgement from the crew regarding this. The water was gorgeous but definitely with the wind can get rocky. Would highly recommend Dramamine or other antiemetic. read more

This was by far one of the best dinner cruises we've been on! The Captain and staff were so nice and accommodating. The whole process of boarding the boat, getting served drinks and dinner, and the cleanup were all very efficient. Drinks and food were absolutely delicious! There was the sweetest young lady performing live entertainment (singing) that took requests and announced birthdays and other celebrations. The ride was so smooth, we got to see whales which was an extra treat! The boat went out exactly on time and returned on time as well. We highly recommend this tour for a beautiful evening on the water with delicious food and great service! Oh, and the sunset was absolutely beautiful that evening!! read more

We hadc a wonderful day with this crew snorkeling and whale watching. The trip to see the turtles was cancelled due to weather and clarity but the captain made sure we were able to see whales to make the trip enjoyable. The crew including John and Camille were great. The day turned out to be a rainy day but the captain did a great job navigating us so we were able to experience the trip without getting too wet. The parking was a bit tricky. You had to make sure you edited the time to get the full 6 hours in. read more

While in Maui we did the sunset dinner cruise. Amazing!! The food was great and we got to see a mama whale with her baby and a mama dolphin with her baby and the captain was nice enough to stop the boat for us to watch. The whales were suppose to already all be gone so we didn't expect to see any so it a great surprise to see them. read more

We had a wonderful time on our snorkel with Calypso! We originally booked through Viator and had zero issues with reserving our adventure and we even changed the dates around last minute. The Calypso boat is quite large especially compared to other companies who offer similar snorkeling adventures. It is 3 stories, 2 of which are open air decks and the first being the main floor which is covered and a better place for those who are sensitive to motion. The slides are off levels 1 and 2 and definitely add another slice of fun. We chose to sit on the second level deck on the side to get partial shade, but once we got moving you can really walk wherever you want and roam about the boat freely. If having a specific seat is really that important to you though, make sure to get there super early as people started to line up way before boarding time. We also got lucky on our day because the boat holds 160, but was only booked for about 115. The staff was EXTREMELY kind, helpful, and generous. When we boarded we were served a continental breakfast with little pastries and fruit. Their fruit juice was also very tasty. We then started heading toward the Molokini Crater and during this time the staff all came around and gave us our snorkel gear including the scuba masks and flippers. The water can be a littleeee bit chilly when you first get in so we also opted to rent a wetsuit for $10/person. Personally I think those should be included in the experience but oh well. They also have GoPros on board which you can rent for $75 and they include a red filter and underwater light. Luckily we had our own so we didn't have to do that and I think this price is pretty steep. But once you're there, of course you're going to want to capture your memories if you didn't come prepared. If you choose to not rent the GoPro, they also have a professional photographer on board who captures photos of you when you board, on the boat, and in the water. Of course these are all for sale at the conclusion of the trip and I was bummed that they would not just sell me one image from the day, but instead only sell the entire digital gallery from the day for $125. Didn't feel that was worth it for just one image :( We loved going to both the Molokini Crater and Turtle Town! We stopped for a little over an hour at both locations and were told by the staff where to swim to and how to use the gear. Definitely make sure to grab a noodle too! Even if you are a good swimmer, you'll probably get tired after a while. Molokini Crater had lots of small fish including colorful ones and we even saw an eel! Turtle Town appeared to not at first but then we got a chance to see 2 hanging out at the bottom of the ocean and got to swim by one!! Super cool experience. Lastly, the lunch that was served at our second stop was not bad and surpassed my expectations. Pretty good pasta salad and ham sandwich with cookies. You definitely work up an appetite doing all that swimming and it definitely hit the spot! They also sell $3 alcoholic drinks which my husband took advantage of :) read more

This was a FANTASTIC experience! The ship was very comfortable, there were plenty of beverages and food, the team was professional and fun. We had a choppy day, so quite a few folks feeling green, but they handled it well and "Turtle Town" was much more peaceful. Seriously once in a lifetime experience and we loved the Calypso! read more

This is not just another snorkeling charter, this is a day trip with Marley, Marley is the resident photographer on this boat. Marley makes memories. He works hard to include everyone and the pictures are professional and stunning. I was skeptical at first but my wife and I are very happy we purchased the photo package up front. I would strongly advise getting the package and wristband. You will get more value than you can imagine. The crew was great and really look out for their passengers. The food was abundant and delicious. There were even vegetarian options for dietary restrictions. Cudos to the captain for a great great cruise, great crew and a great sense of humor. read more

Friendly and helpful staff were great at offering drink refills. Unfortunately they overlooked us at dinner time and we had to hail a server to ask for our dinner. The food was great, a ceasar salad to start. We had the prime rib with sticky rice and sauted veggies and it was wonderful and cooked to perfection. Would recommend for a relaxing, gorgeous sunset dinner cruise. The plus it leaves out of the harbor with easy, mobility challenged boarding. There was plenty of parking but only 2 disabled parking spots so plan ahead or expect to do some walking. read more

I cannot recommend Calypso Charters enough. The crew was fun, informative, exceptionally helpful, professional, and met our every need. Xander was so friendly and a genuine good guy. Ryan was an absolute delight - he really put our mind at ease during the entire trip. The rest of the crew were equally as attentive and dedicated to the goal of making the trip memorable. And they succeeded - snorkeling at Molokini was one of the greatest adventures of my life. read more

We did crater trip with our family of six - 1, 3, 9, and 10 year olds. The crew was amazing, patient, and encouraging! The slides and jumping deck were awesome! Definitely one of the top experiences at Maui and worth every penny! I do wish pictures were included cause they got a ton of great ones, but $250 for the package is a bit steep - bring your own camera, buy a phone case, or rent one of theirs. read more

The best crew for a snorkel ride. Alan, Alex, Eddie and Dave are the best!! He helped us a lot in our experience in the road.

Great service. Fun crew just wish the trip was longer. Had a blast. Get there early for parking and if you want a seat up top in the sun. We happen to have great weather. Sea life isn't always guaranteed. We saw turtles, whales, all sorts of fish. The captain gave good information of the area and what to do and why not todo. I would go again. read more

Did the Maui dinner cruise last week. Mixed feelings about it. Scenery was beautiful, and the crew was terrific. Very accommodating, professional, and friendly. Boat was clean and well-driven. Food was mediocre. One of us has dietary issues, but we weren't informed that the only fish option was breaded. Also, this was a our first "dinner cruise", so we expected something a touch nicer rather than a snorkel boat on which they serve food in the evening. If you have a group of people traveling together and wish to have a fun evening eating on the water, then I think this is a good option. But if it is intended as a romantic dinner for a couple, it is a slightly anti-climactic. read more

A fun boat with a great crew and good food! The atmosphere on the boat was fun! Definitely worth it!

Great boat. Nice staff. Felt very safe snorkeling as they had life guards on surf boards keeping an eye on everyone. Molokini's clear water made the view of fish amazing. Had fun jumping off the boat. Turtle town didn't disappoint - lots of turtles and beautiful coral. We even saw dolphins and flying fish from the boat coming back to the harbor. Very good excursion. Would definitely do it again. read more

We booked our morning Calypso Snorkel trip through our resort. Once boarded we received a breakfast of pastries, fresh fruit, scrambled eggs and sausage. Then off to our first snorkel spot at Molokini. Unfortunately, there were not many fish.When snorkeling, there were 3 crew members in the water serving as lifeguards. With so many first time snorkelers it was nice to have them out there. There was also a crew member taking underwater photos of those wanting a picture. For those brave enough they could jump off the top deck of the boat or use the slide. It was fun to watch. Vegetable trays and dip were out during this time which was appreciated. On our way to Turtle Town we were able to see 2 whales which was the highlight for us. Turtle Town was disappointing. We didn't see any turtles but it was reported there was one sleeping on the floor of the ocean. A nice lunch was served after snorkeling: deli sandwiches. pulled pork,potato salad, 3 bean salad and chips. The bar was great! $2 drinks. Noe makes a great a great Mai Tai! Although the trip was disappointing I can't fault Calypso. It may have been the time of year. The crew was great, friendly and concerned about the safety of all passengers read more

We did the Molokini Crater and snorkeling tour and it was awesome. When they say to get there 45 minutes before - everyone actually does - so please do. Boarding the boat is organized and straight forward. We were a group of two and made a bee-line for the front of the boat and managed to grab a seat with a table and a view and also even a bit of shade from the slide. The staff were friendly and the trip was extremely well polished and curated. Breakfast and lunch and the two dollar drinks were delivered quickly and efficiently and were substantive and edible if not gourmet. The snorkeling equipment was clean and good quality. There was a 101 class for people less familiar with snorkeling, and there were staffers acting as life guards on paddle boards. We saw lots of schools of fish, sea urchins, turtles, and even dolphins jumping in the wake in front of our boat! Even if you are a grown up, take time to take the slide off the boat - it's pretty darn fun. read more

Great crew--many experienced hands to help everyone feel and stay safe! Lots of fish and turtles.

Excellent captain and crew. Food was outstanding. Amazing humpback whale sightings from start to finish!

This was a great experience - friendly staff , great food, very fun experience for a couple or group. Hawaii restaurants are very expensive and the food many times isn't that great. But this was the best food we had all week, 2 complimentary drinks, beautiful sunset and a ton of whale watching. So it combined the cruise, the dinner, drinks, sunset and whale watching experience which is very reasonable! Highly recommend! read more

Overall it was a great cruise. However, I do NOT recommend ordering the prime rib as it had more fat than i've ever seen on a prime rib to be honest. I regret not picking another item off the menu for myself and my family. So,we really didn't have an enjoyable dinner. The plus to it though, was great dessert, great service and music! we also got lucky and saw some awesome whales along the way! read more
