Top Maui Cruises & Sailing - page 9

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! If you’ve ever gone on a snorkel tour and felt like something was missing, this experience has it. The staff were all so friendly and helpful. The yacht has all the amenities you could ever want - heated showers, clean bathrooms, grill, AC, wetsuit rentals, excellent snorkel gear. Everything about this experience felt intentional and high quality. We got great snorkeling at Molokini and saw lots of turtles in Turtle Town. You have to try them out

This was a truly magical sunset sail. It far surpassed our expectations. The weather was overcast, so sunset was pretty underwhelming, but the threat of rain meant other companies cancelled, so we were one of only two boats out. Even though it was the end of whale season (early April) we had two whales come within 20 feet of the boat and put on a show! We also had dolphins swimming alongside the boat! Our crew of Nick, Evan, and Cpt. Patrick were so nice and attentive. Happy to chat with you about island life or leave you space to quietly enjoy the views. We definitely felt taken care of. Cocktails were super tasty, they came around with trays of cocktails twice during the sail, but were always happy to make you something special if you went downstairs to the bar. Rum and Vodka cocktails, plus wine, beer and champagne. They had sodas and juice for the kids (about 1/3 of our tour was under 21), and were happy to mix up a mocktail if you were interested. Food was pretty minimal, a first round of snacks (cheese and vegetables, chips and salsa, pot stickers), and then more substantial appetizers later. Don’t count on this being dinner, but my wife loved the vegan potstickers and the caprese skewers were delicious. I suppose you could really fill up if you wanted, but I tried to pace myself between the open bar and the movement of the boat. Really could not have been happier with our evening. With the friendly, charming staff and the wildlife we were able to see, it sure seemed like the rest of the group had a great time too. Lots of gasps, smiles and laughter all evening. I couldn’t recommend the experience more and would love to do it again if we’re back in Maui!

This was by far the best snorkeling cruise I’ve ever done. I have gone on many snorkeling Excursions. Shasta and derrik were absolutely incredible. Shasta was in the water with us and even woke up some sharks so we can see them swim. She also pointed out the biggest sea turtle we’ve ever seen. Do not miss out on this

It was a great overall experience. We learned everything I didn’t know about chocolate and how it’s made. The tasting was delicious and also a whole new experience of chocolate. Our guide Stephanie was terrific, knowledgeable, professional and engaging. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful time seeing all the fish and learning about them—my two-year-old especially loved the sharks. There was a brief, scary moment when my 2-year-old wandered off to the nearby playground, but the staff was absolutely amazing. They acted quickly, communicated clearly with one another, and helped locate him right away. While I was understandably panicked, their calm, attentive, and professional response made a huge difference, and I’m incredibly grateful for how they handled the situation.

You have three super experienced people taking you out. They all make your trip the best one ever. Not only did we snorkel, we got to stop and observe a pod of humpback whales. Could have gone back in after that awesome experience, but no, we went on to snorkel. Mahalo to the crew.

We are from Illinois and recently traveled to Hawaii, seeking once-in-a-lifetime experiences. This excursion was perfect, featuring a one-and-a-half-year old catamaran ride, a fantastic crew, an excellent meal, and a stunning sunset. It was an incredible experience!

Great experience! I’m not the best swimmer at age 70 but they had all kinds of options . Floatation belts, life jackets and a few paddle boards were available. Also the staff in the water as life guards. We were given instructions before going in the water. Saw such beautiful fish and underwater seascape!! The staff was so knowledgeable and friendly. We had a nice barbecue lunch after snorkeling as well. I would highly recommend this experience for all ages.
