What an exceptional trip! The crew were fantastic. They know right where the turtles like to swim. We went to two different locations and had both snorkeling and scuba going off our boat. Well worth the investment and very true that getting up first thing in the morning to make the run. Golden hour at sunrise!

Awesome experience… both snorkeling and whale watching. While you can snorkel from beach when not windy … totally different experience going out with Tim and his crew. We saw tons of turtles and colorful and coral while snorkeling ; whale watch had whales slapping water and cruising by the boat. Super friendly group too!

*snorkel trip* We had an absolutely great morning out with Molokai Fish & Dive! Signed up at the gas station/dive shop in town & went out the next morning. The captain (Tim) & crew were all knowledgeable & we felt in good hands right away! Gear & wetsuits provided. Nice boat with plenty of space, double deck for whale watching views, bean bags up front were fun & drinks/water provided. The 2 snorkel spots we went to had incredible visibility & so many turtles & marine life. I would love to come back & snorkel or scuba with them!

*Whale Watching Tour* We went out with Tim and his crew in the morning and saw a whale breach in the distance almost immediately! We were lucky to see many humpbacks and were followed by a mama and baby for most of the time out on the water. They came within 10 - 20 feet of the boat multiple times. We saw lots of tails, we got a "wave" from the mama, and the baby slapped its tail up and down on the surface. Truly an unforgettable experience.Tim's boat has an upper deck which made it easier to spot the whales and provided us with excellent views. We were on the water for about 2.5 hours. They provide drinks, and there is a bathroom on the boat. Tim is very experienced and knowledgeable - we knew we were in good hands.Thank you!!! See you again!

My wife and I booked a snorkeling trip (our first) and had an amazing outing! We saw sea turtles and thousands of brightly colored fish, reefs and plants. It sprinkled rain just enough where we saw several rainbows. We highly recommend using Molokai Fish and Dive for going snorkeling. Staff was energetic, enthusiastic, informative and friendly. BONUS, we bought water shoes at their store that we removed the tags on but did not use and they let us return them.

Great time! Two trips in two days. Saw turtles, rays, several species of fish and a monk seal on day one and caught mahi on day two. Great crew! Highly recommend.

This was an amazing snorkeling trip. Anya and Capt. Tim are great. We saw so so many sea turtles and the coral reef is an incredible ecosystem with tons of different fish, eels, and octopi. I loved this trip so much that I booked it twice in one weekend. Definitely worth it. The kids had a great first snorkeling experience as well. We were fully equipped with snorkels, find and wetsuits. I wish I could go every day.

Fabulous crew! We had a wonderful whale watching cruise. Team is knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. Best trip ever! So busy watching whales didn’t take a single picture!

During our stay on Molokai we booked two snorkeling trips. Captain Tim and the crew were fantastic. Great boat and equipment, really knowledgeable about the dive sites and the marine life to look out for. Everyone was very attentive to make sure we had a safe and enjoyable trip. We will be back to Molokai again, and the visit will not be complete without at least one return trip with Captain Tim and the team.

I had a really good time diving with these guys. They are the only certified dive shop on the island. It cost about $180 for a 2 tank dive if you use their gear. ($160 if you don't). We were gone from 7 am to 11 am. They were friendly and knowledgeable. Ask if you can go to the place that they call the turtle cleaning station. I saw 10 turtles in the same area and it was awesome! If you have the money and are certified do a dive while you are here! You can also snorkel with them if you are not certified.

Believe it or not but it was my first time doing any under-water activities like scuba and snorkeling and I couldn't have asked for a better captain than Captain Tim and divemaster Annea who is amazing! Captain Tim is very knowledgeable and knows what he does, and Annea is extremely talented and professional. She has a very keen eye and is always on the lookout while on the ocean, which is very reassuring.We went on 4 different tours with them - snorkelling, sunset boat ride, scuba diving and whale watching.We went on a whale watching tour on New Year's and for the first hour we couldn't find any. But he wouldn't give up lol and thanks to him for exploring in the right directions, we finally saw a lot of whales!Annea helped us look out for turtles and coral life during snorkelling. We saw a bunch of huge sea turtles and colorful marine life. They briefed us well and taught us all the safety protocols before diving. Captain Tim held my hand the entire time during scuba diving since I was a beginner and I felt very safe. He was very patient with me! They were also very kind enough to accommodate the dates since I had hurt my leg.We had very safe and exciting adventures with them. Highly recommend them!We also picked out some nice tshirts and souvenirs from the shop :)We also met some amazing people in these trips and ended up hanging out with them later. All thanks to molokai fish and dive!

We had the most amazing time with Annea, Joshua and Captain Tim. My daughter wants to be Annea when she grows up! We saw turtles, fish and a gorgeous octopus. Pure magic! Captain Tim even watched my kid for 30 mins when she was tired on the second stop. I love these guys already! Perfect way to distract us from my mother’s passing.

Not bad at all! The tacos and fish and chips were both pretty good, but the tacos might have been just a tick better! Definitely give it a try when visiting Molokai!! Use this opportunity to book a tour with Molokai Fish & Dive, which is right next door. Also an incredible experience!!

Tim and Annea took us on two different, two-tank dives. Both of them were fun, totally professional, and great to work with. The dive trips WAY exceeded our expectations.Tim has been on the island for over 20 years. He knows of over 40 different pristine dive locations around the island. We didn't see another boat or other divers the whole time.Annea was our dive master. She was INCREDIBLE. This was Margie's (my wife) second dive and at one point her air got a little low. Annea gave Margie her octo reg and then held her hand to help guide her and keep her close for the last 10 min of the dive. I was so grateful to have Annea's help!The reef and water around Molokai are mind-blowing! Way better than the dives and snorkeling we did on the other islands... and frankly Tim and Annea were a huge part of our wonderful experience.As a bonus, Time owns the gas station and gift shop... AND the food truck. We had lunch there three different times. The food was excellent and authentic.I highly, highly recommend. We are going back to do more dives with Tim. We hit 4 of his 40 spots and want to see them all :)Thanks Tim and Annea! We really, really appreciate you.

Great snorkeling trip! Captain Tim and Gabe made it special and fun for my wife and me. Good equipment and great locations where we saw all kinds of fish and turtles.

Snorkeling trip was great. Also went looking for whales on a second excursion. Ended on sort of a sour note. After spending hundreds on two excursions, coming back from a fruitless whale-watching trip, taking them up on the suggestion of purchasing lunch from their food truck, to be told that we couldn't use their restroom was disheartening to say the least. The best that they could offer was sending us up the road to some public restrooms that were locked up. Fortunately the other filling station on the island does offer restrooms, something to keep in mind.

Amazing snorkeling with a well experienced and kind crew. Worth every $. Blown away by all that we saw, including turtles 🐢 😀 Would highly recommend!

Molokai Fish and Dive is an awesome experience from start to finish. Booking a trip is easy at their store front, everyone is friendly and helpful. We went on two snorkeling trips and one whale watching trip and all three were epic! I saw so many turtles that I lost count. And lots of whales too! Captain Tim is a great host, so funny and friendly and knowledgeable. Hilary and Ania are kind, professional and helpful each step of the way, from fitting your gear, to pointing out turtles and other interesting things to see on the trips. I can’t wait to come back!

They made me pay full fare....we only snorkel-led once instead of two. Instead of returning to the first spot and letting us snorkel twice, when the wind picked up and they called it a day to protect themselves from the people who were onboard....It's not on them it's on you. They pocketed the full fare and gave me the option of getting some fish tacos or 10$. The divers will get a second chance and f the snorkellers. no store credit, no appropriate refunds, no fare adjustment.....shady business practices...never again!

The snorkeling trip was one of the most amazing of my life. The crew was very friendly and helpful. We saw a whale turn over about 15 feet from our boat. My husband and I saw a massive manta ray that was about 10 feet across. It is one of the most incredible things I've seen. We also saw zillions of fish and 6 turtles. Highly recommend this snorkel tour to any enthusiast.

Had an amazing scuba diving trip with Captain Tim and crew. It had been awhile since my partner and I had been diving so we were a little nervous heading out, but everything was so smooth and friendly on the boat that we can’t wait to go out again.Went on a two tank (two sites) dive - The first site had endless colourful coral reef, gazillions of different fish, and the water was warm and so so clear. The 2nd dive was at a turtle station where we saw ~10 enormous sea turtles. Most of them swam right up and along side our group, and one seemed to know our dive master and swam right up to dance around with her for several minutes. Also beautiful coral and some little octopus on that dive!The boat was clean, the gear all seemed brand new and had no issues at all. Nice variety of beverages! The whole crew took really good care of us and we booked another trip with them as soon as we got back to shore. Thanks Molokai Fish & Dive!

My boyfriend and I did two morning trips with Molokai Fish and Dive. We did the snorkel/scuba trip which had both snorkeling and diving at two different sites. We also did whale watching the next day. Captain Tim and his deck hand Annea were knowledgeable and super nice to chat with. As a relatively inexperienced diver I felt completely safe and well briefed on both the dive routes and safety protocols. Captain Tim was my dive master and made me feel safe in the water, checking my air multiple times. He also pointed out a bunch of wildlife underwater. The best part of the dives was hearing whales underwater the entire time! My boyfriend snorkeled and he could hear some too. We saw a bunch of turtles and gorgeous fish and saw whales on the boat ride out.Highly recommend using them for snorkeling. It’s nearly impossible to shore snorkel on Molokai due to the fringing reef - but the coral is gorgeous and pristine offshore. If I go back to Molokai I would definitely use them again!Affordable rates as well. I paid $450 for the two of us for both days. I think the dives (2 sites) were about $180 and I rented everything from them.

We had a wonderful time with Tim and Annea on two different days. They both made sure we enjoyed our scuba sessions and took us out to beautiful spots. We would always come back to scuba dive with Fish and Dive.

This was the BEST snorkeling tour I have ever been on.....even better than the Great Barrier ReefThe water was beautiful, clear and full of coral reefs, beautiful fish and wild life.I was a little scared at first however the guide “Gabe”made me feel so comfortable and swam with me.He showed me where all the turtles were.and guided me around the entire time I was in the water! We saw probably a dozen turtles!This was an incredible experience!

The female Dive Master (Nia I believe) was amazing and very professional. My parents had a great dive with her and saw sea turtles.Tim— not so much.He touched my hip instead of my shoulder during the dive, hugged me without consent, and kept patting my leg and shoulder on the boat. He is unprofessional and made me uncomfortable. Hope he changes his behaviors.

Had a wonderful morning of snorkeling with Captain Tim, Nia & Hilary. Took us to a beautiful spot on the reef where we saw many fish, an octopus, & an eel. Then to a second spot with about a dozen sea turtles. Very knowledgable & helpful crew. Thanks again!
