Absolutely fantastic experience! Yes, it's an early morning but totally worth it! Our voyage went on the reverse of most other companies; we went to Turtle Town first. We basically had it to ourselves and saw many turtles, and the boat has a 25-ft waterslide that kids and grown-ups loved.

In the second part of the trip, we went to the Molokini Crater. Again, this was great because most boats were there first and thus leaving. The snorkeling was phenomenal. They also had an onboard photographer to capture shots if you don't have a GoPro. The boat was spacious and comfortable, with plenty of room, but the total group was limited to 65, so it was not jam-packed, sitting on top of each other like some other boats.

The trip included breakfast, lunch, drinks, and snacks, so great value. The crew was phenomenal! Everyone was very friendly, and the vibe was great. They were all great with children, and you can tell they really love their job. I would do this again many times and can't recommend them highly enough!

The crew, boat, water slide, and snorkeling were amazing! We super enjoyed the afternoon trip to the Coral Gardens. The crew was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. Snorkel gear and the boat were very clean and well-maintained. We will back again every Maui trip for sure!

This was an amazing trip! The crew worked like a well oiled machine. Fruit, pastries and coffee for breakfast, sandwiches chips and pasta salad for lunch. The Mokolini crater was amazing and the slide the deployed from the top deck was so much fun! There was even a professional photographer on board who captured amazing photos of the family! All around very professional tour! Highly recommend Captain Greg and his crew!

Went on vacation in Maui and had to do a snorkel tour. Came across Maui Snorkeling and booked it (waterslide had me sold). “Boat Driver” Greg and his crew were amazing. They provided food, snacks, sunscreen and the snorkeling equipment. Seen the fishes and turtles and cherry on top, came across some spinner dolphins. Boat Driver Greg must of paid these dolphins off because they followed the boat and put on an amazing show for everyone. Turtle town and Molokini crater was awesome and my young daughter still remembers Dani for how nice she was. Definitely recommend Maui Snorkeling.

What an incredible experience aboard the Lani Kai II! We visited both Molokini Crater and Turtle Town, and both locations exceeded our expectations.

The snorkeling at Molokini Crater was absolutely amazing, with crystal-clear water, excellent visibility, and an incredible variety of fish and marine life. Turtle Town was equally unforgettable. We were fortunate enough to see several sea turtles up close in their natural habitat, which was one of the highlights of our trip to Maui. Do not skip Turtle Town!!

The crew was outstanding from start to finish. They were professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel safe and comfortable in the water while creating a fun, and relaxed atmosphere. The boat was clean, comfortable, well-maintained, and the entire excursion was organized flawlessly.

If you’re visiting Maui and looking for a world-class snorkeling adventure, I highly recommend the Lanikai II. Between the breathtaking snorkeling at Molokini Crater, the unforgettable sea turtle encounters at Turtle Town, and the fantastic crew, this was easily one of the best experiences of our vacation. Mahalo to the entire team for an unforgettable day on the water!

My wife and I decided on this charter for our honeymoon and could not have been more happy with our decision!!!!

What stood out to me most with this was the crew. Captain Greg is most comparable to a modern day Jack Sparrow, and his crew (Walker, Dani, Sarah, and Emily) were so fantastic. You can tell they work together day after day and have become what is best described as family. They welcomed us aboard and showed us a fantastic time. They also shared with us the spots around Maui the locals visit and how to get the most out of your time on the island. Not only were we provided with a great dive, but also new friends.

I understand this may sound cheesy and sappy, but check my profile and you will see I almost never leave reviews. This experience was so fantastic I had to get on and do my part because it was such a fantastic experience. Thank you Captain Greg, Walker, Dani, Sarah, and Emily! If ever in Chicago you have two people who would buy a beer and return the favor!
