Tina_C, Aug 2026

Absolutely incredible experience!

Absolutely incredible experience! Captain Matt and First Mate Trevor were amazing and took such great care of us from start to finish. Molokini Crater and Turtle Town were beautiful, the snorkeling was awesome, and the food was perfect. We had the best time and highly recommend Makena Charters!

Maui Nui Luau at the Sheraton Maui Resort & Spa

Cecette_H, Aug 2026

Last Night of Vacation Luau

The luau was really fun and more interactive than expected. They taught everyone a luau dance. My daughter enjoyed the tattoos and the orchid flower they placed in her hair. The food was really good and the sunset backdrop was everything. The only downside was the non alcoholic pina coladas had strange taste. This luau was perfect ending to a perfect vacation.

Awesome Experience!!

The tour guides were so nice!! Nick and (sorry I forgot the other guides name), were so kind and patient with us first time snorkelers! They even took us to a second location trying to show us some sea turtles. Very good; would definitely recommend! *Do not eat right before this trip lol we learned the hard way with all the bumpy waves.

JC_P, Aug 2026

Great time!!

A must do tour if you’re in Maui. We weren’t able to snorkel Molokini due to high winds and ended up doing the coral gardens instead. Still beautiful nonetheless. The captain was very knowledgeable and had our safety and comfort in mind. The crew was also very friendly and knowledgeable. I’d definitely recommend this for anyone looking for a Maui snorkeling experience. I’m definitely coming back for Molokini!!!

Real good for a first time snorkler in beautiful Hawaii

This was really well organized. They did a great job checking people in, giving instructions, getting everyone set and ready. You get the perfect amount of time at each location (of 2) that you snorkel at. They provide a basic hamburger/hot dog and chips lunch. It was extremely well organized. This will involve a lot of other passengers on board. It was extremely family friendly, so lots of kids. No one can promise what youll see so stop one had some fish. Stop two I saw 4 turtles, which is amazing, but there are a lot of people in the water also looking to see turtles, so keep the crowds in mind. As with most excursions, a tip is expected on top of the cost of the tickets.

This experience was...

This experience was stellar. The crew was very insightful, felt more like being shown around by family than anything. They had fresh home made scones, plenty of sodas and water. Great lunch after two hours of snorkeling. We had our parents, kids grandparents (both mid 70s) and they had the time of their lives. They even had corrective goggles for my daughter in law. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Don’t miss!!!

You absolutely cannot miss this opportunity to snorkel a sheltered reef in Maui. Most members of our party saw sea turtles! There were beautiful corals & reef fish. We went out on a beautiful, huge catamaran heading north to a lovely bay. Drinks & a terrific lunch are included. The captain & crew couldn’t be nicer to all the guests. We were given snorkeling gear & a noodle and walked right into the water. Fabulous all around. Thank you, Sea Maui!!!

Food folks and fun

Had an amazing time on the Calypso! 🤩 The food was delicious, and the crew was absolutely outstanding and incredibly attentive. One of our party members was a bit anxious about snorkeling in the cold water, but the staff were so reassuring and attentive as she re-entered. Another person in our group wasn't feeling well due to motion sickness, and the crew was all hands on deck, making sure she felt better and didn't miss any of the sights. Calypso offers snorkeling at Turtle Cove, a platform for jumping, and a slide! Overall, it was great fun! 🐢🐠 #Calypso #Snorkeling #Crew #Food #Fun

A Maui Must - Turtles Galore!

This was absolutely amazing. They fed us breakfast, drinks and lunch, and the crew members and staff were very friendly and helpful. They took us to two locations and we spent about an hour at each one - the sights were absolutely incredible. We saw multiple sea turtles (one swam right next to me!) , tons of coral and other fish, and dolphins swam alongside us on our way to the first location. The water at the snorkel spots was turquoise and the waves were essentially nonexistent which helped a bunch too. I will absolutely be doing this again. It was the highlight of my vacation to Maui!

So happy we went

This was actually amazing!! A perfect snorkel despite the rain with wind and surf. We snorkeled at the cliffs instead of the original location, it was an hour in the water with a few turtles and dolphins on the ride back. This was so different from anything I expected and the fact the crew kept us safe and made it a wonderful experience was everything!!!! I’m so happy we did this excursion.

My kids' first...

My kids' first snorkelling experience was great and I'm glad we went with Quicksilver Maui! All the staff were friendly and helpful. Of course, travelling with kids, the fact that this excursion provided snacks and lunch made it all the more better and they even had quite a selection of drinks! I'm glad we got to see several fishes, turtles, and a family of dolphins along with the snorkelling itself- this made for a great experience!
