We had a great time snorkeling! We were able to see different fish, and turtles! A few people on board caught a glimpse of a whale! The crew was very knowledgeable, kind, and fun to be around. They even had an on board photographer that you could purchase pictures from. Overall it was a great time!

Wish we had booked the longer tour! Even without seeing any turtles we loved snorkeling at Coral Garden and using the water slide. Dani, Sydney and Ash were great with everyone in the water and made sure those new to snorkeling or even swimming still had a wonderful time… They were so patient. Jamie gave great lessons and made us feel really comfortable getting in the water.

Our group of 5 had an amazing time. We ranged from 2 years old to 40, swimmers and non swimmers. They had the appropriate gear for each of us to use. They taught us some basics of snorkeling, provided a light breakfast and lunch. We went to 2 locations on the 5 hr tour and we saw everything we came for! Fish, coral, sea turtles and a few whales off in the distance. Captain Greg, Morgan and Sam did an amazing job at keeping us safe while also keeping us entertained. We only had about 30 people on board which also made the service even better. Highly recommend and I will do it again next time I'm in Maui. Thanks for an amazing day!

FAQ’s

DO I NEED TO HAVE EXPERIENCE SNORKELING?
Snorkeling experience is not necessary. You need to be comfortable in the water and should be able to swim without the aid of any equipment. Our crew will show you how to use the snorkel equipment. We have flotation devices, wetsuits, swimming noodles, and boogie boards available to keep swimmers comfortable during our excursions.
IS SNORKELING SAFE?
The Hawaii Health Department advises that “you need to be comfortable in the water and able to swim without the aid of any equipment”. Our buddy system requires weak but comfortable swimmers to pair up with a stronger swimmer from the same party. We have flotation devices, wetsuits, swimming noodles, and boogie boards available to make it easy to float and observe the wildlife.
