This was an amazing experience. The crater was beautiful. We got to see a lot of fish and several turtles. Crew on boat were great. Emily and Dani did a great job checking in on us all the time to make sure we were good. Greg the captain was funny and kept the time going to the different areas entertaining. This is a great family fun adventure. Mahalo !

One of my favorite excursions on Maui! The staff was so great & the all around experience was a 10/10. Saw some beautiful coral, turtles!!! & even some humpback whales! They also kept us fed and hydrated which was amazing. The slide was a fun addition as well. Would definitely recommend!

Best snorkeling experience yet! Captain Greg, his crew Dani and Emily were awesome, not only did we get a chance to see turtles we got to see some whales on the way there and back. Definitely will be coming back again to Maui Snorkeling.

DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!!! WOULD DEFINITELY DO IT AGAIN WHEN WE COME BACK TO MAUI AGAIN!!!

Best last minute decision we made! Beyond amazing experience for our family! Due to weather went to Moloconi instead of Turtle Town. Saw many whales on the way there; captain (I think owner) stopped the boat for whale watching experience. Each partner is very knowledgeable, attentive and caring. Dani went above and beyond to make my husband comfortable in the water; he can’t swim and he was trying first time snorkeling. Sydney’s customer service was top notch! BEST CREW!

10 OUT OF 10 DEFINITELY RECOMMEND! IF YOU HAVE TIME FOR IT..DEFINITELY CATCH THIS BOAT! Staff and crew was AMAZING! I was so sick for the first part of the tour.. but; the crew and the owner really went above and beyond to save the day for me! The photographer Chloe spent time with us so that we would have plenty of beautiful pictures without having to stop to take them ourselves. It was an added cost but; she was super friendly and responsibly priced Don't! Don't miss this once in a lifetime tour of Maui from the water!

What a great experience. Unfortunately with weather we were not able to go to turtle town and coral gardens. But it was a blast still. Our captain was a hoot and our boat girls Sydney and Dani were fabulous! Would love to come back and do this again and hopefully snorkel all three locations.

The Hawaii Health Department advises that “you need to be comfortable in the water and able to swim without the aid of any equipment”.
