More Aloha, Fewer Crowds. Welcome To Your Best Day On Maui

Picture this: The warm Maui sun is on your skin, a gentle breeze is in the air, and the iconic crescent of Molokini Crater rises from the impossibly blue Pacific. You’re about to jump into some of the clearest water in the world, a vibrant paradise teeming with tropical fish. But instead of being surrounded by a hundred other people, you’re with a small group of new friends. You have space to explore, to float, to laugh. This isn’t just a dream, this is a day with Maui Snorkeling.

This is the experience you’ve been searching for. A day that feels less like a crowded tour and more like an unforgettable adventure with friends. Welcome aboard.

The Real Secret Ingredient to an Unforgettable Day

Meet The Maui Snorkeling Crew

If there’s one thing our guests rave about more than the turtles, it’s our crew. They are the heart and soul of Maui Snorkeling, and they’re the reason a great day on the water becomes an unforgettable one.

They are your guides, your hype team, and your friends on the water. From the moment you’re welcomed aboard, you’ll feel their passion. Our crew is made up of engaging, personable, and often hilarious ocean lovers who make it their mission to ensure everyone has a fantastic time.

They are masters of the ocean and experts in fun. With years of experience, our captains can read the winds and waves to find the calmest, clearest spots for snorkeling, "saving the day" even when conditions are choppy elsewhere. They are also patient teachers.

Whether you’re a nervous first-timer or have kids who need a little extra encouragement, our crew is amazing at helping first-time snorkelers feel safe and confident in the water. They’ll be right there with you, pointing out the colorful Humuhumunukunukuapua'a (Hawaii's state fish) or a shy octopus hiding in the reef.

Emily and Captain Keola were great. Made tons of jokes and made sure everyone was always having fun. Even tho there was a hurricane, they took us around and made sure we had some good visibility in the water. Were lovely to be around.

Emily was also super friendly and gave us lots of recommendations and places to visit around the island while we are here.

Thank you!!

From 11 months to 67 years young, all 15 of us had a great time. The crew was supportive, fun, and took great care of all the passengers and us. The huge Eel and graceful Manta Ray were the highlights of our day. Thanks for a super experience!

This was a wonderful tour! The crew was so efficient and fun! Greg “boat driver guy” was funny and did amazing! We are so glad we booked this one. They are local and only 65 passengers max on the boat which made for a nice experience. I highly recommend booking with them! We were a party of 6 with teenagers and smaller child and everyone loved it! Also the water slide was super fun! We saw a lot of fish, a turtle and a Manta ray. The water was not too cold and it was also super clear. Great snorkeling experience.

The staff was patient and caring as they showed my family and small kids how to snorkel. I had a panic attack and struggled to adjust to the waves, learn to breathe through the snorkel equipment, and put on fins. It felt overwhelming and scary, but I faced my fears with their support and patience. They were super reassuring the entire trip. I would definitely recommend this excursion and this company. Book early; it sells out.

It was only my second snorkeling tour, but it was absolutely awesome! The crew was professional and fun at the same time! Some issues others have warned me about: the crater being packed and overcrowded. The crew was aware of this and actively avoided the crowded times; we were only 1 of two 2 boats at the crater and the only boat at Turtle Town. Amazing experience, thank you!

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!
