What an escape! I really felt like this one day on the water equalled three. The crew, the boat, the breathtaking views were all fantastic! Thank you to Captain Roger! more

We just got back from the 6:30 am Molokini Express tour and it was great. All of the other comments were spot on. New boat, EXTREMELY convenient departure location for people staying in Wailea/Makena, friendly crew (especially Chris), and it's great to get to Molokini first thing in the morning. A couple of critiques: first, molokini was really not as... more

We went out with Kai Kanani to snorkle at Molokini and had the best time. The crew was awesome and the snorkeling at Molokini was great! They have 2 crew members in the water with you and point out different fish and other creatures in the water. They also took us to see the sea turtles getting cleaned off. The... more

A snorkel trip to the Molokini Crater in Maui aboard the wonderful catamaran the "Kai Kanani" was the highlight of our family's vacation. The trip to the Molokini Crater is great for snorkelers of all levels to view the wonderful Hawaiian tropical fish and to see amazing Hawaiian green sea turtles at a near by location. This was our eighth... more

By now, I think we have taken part in every program that the Kai Kanani Charter offers. From the picture perfect early morning snorkel to the unforgettable sunset cruise, my annual family trips to Hawaii have been made that much more memorable. We have been coming to Maui for several years and tried a few snorkel/sailing companies before we came... more

My son and I looked at the various options for snorkeling to Molokini and found in our search the early morning sailing of the Kai Kanani. We took the 6:30 trip that went for 2 hours. It was a perfect trip. The crew was excellent and fun. When we were at Molokini and we were the only boat there at... more

We just recently went on the Kai Kanani in Maui and it was amazing! We have been to Maui and Molokini several times and just found out about this boat which has been in operation for several years. We were staying in Wailea and it was so nice to just have to drive 10 mintues south to Makena and then... more

Our family has grown up on boats, sailing from the mainland to Maui years ago, and I have to say, this boat was the next best thing. From the boat, to the crew, to the drinks and food. Best of all was the Captain, Roger.. he was such a pleasure to talk to, as well as the others. I highly... more

We went on the Kai Kanani catamaran that sails out of Wailea, Maui. The crew was very friendly. Mike was funny and kept the mood light, and Liz was very informative about the area and the marine life. Safety was obvious, since either Mike or Liz was in the water with us on their board while we were snorkeling. We... more
