This was our first time snorkeling in the open ocean and we had a fantastic time! Our guide Seth was very informative, helpful and kind, and made sure we had a great time. He helped us become familiar with the gear, how to use it and where we were going to go, which helped us feel comfortable. We enjoyed the tour so much we booked a second snorkeling experience at a different location on the same trip! We would definitely recommend it, even if you are nervous about snorkeling or it is your first time.

My absolute favorite snorkeling tour to do while in Maui ! It was my second time doing it and this year we were even able to take the life vest off and felt more comfortable than ever ! We will be back next year to do the scooter but if your eerie about the water or not a swimmer this is the perfect snorkel to book!

So fun and Triston our guide was so helpful. I was scared at first since I can't swim but he was very patient and walked me through everything until I felt comfortable. Very cool experience and beginner friendly 🤙

It was our first time snorkeling and Tristan made it so easy for us. We had never swum in the ocean before and were super nervous in the beginning. But Tristan made us comfortable with the snorkell gear within minutes. We saw 2 giant sea turtles and tons of sea life! Great experience and highly recommended as an introduction to snorkeling!

Tristin was the best instructor ever, he was so helpful for me. Was scared but once i relaxed it was worth it. Saw things I would have only seen at the aquarium. Love seeing the turtles and all the other fish. Was da best 👍. Mahalo!!
Grace_Y, May 2026
The experience was super fun. The instructors Triston and Jasmine were super welcoming and supportive, great for beginners.
Jasmine took good care of us and led us out into the ocean on a giant surf board. Triston took photo/videos of us and let us hold an urchin (which he said the locals used to use as a chalk :) ). Highly recommend this experience.
SHAHZAIN_A, May 2026
The best experience ever. I do not know swimming at all and i get freaked out if my feets dont touch the ground but all thanks to Triston. He made it work for me under 10 to 15feet water. Only because of him i was able to see the under water life. If you are not comfortable he will hold your hand and make you see the under water life. My words wont justify how greatful i am that i booked him for snorkel. I dont think so i would have found any better instructor than him

My 5 year old and I have pretty basic swim skills, and I’m quite afraid of water. Seth and team did a phenomenal job of keeping us safe and helping us to get a meaningful experience underwater while respecting our pace. My 5 year went from stressed to absolutely loving it - even after getting water into his snorkel a few times :) we would HIGHLY recommend this for experience who is willing to build a muscle on bravery, and snorkeling. The beauty underwater is sublime, and the experience cathartic.

We had an AMAZING time with Tristen. I am not comfortable at all in water and he had me snorkeling in just a few minutes. He’s very knowledgeable, friendly and confident. We felt very reassured that he had our safety as his highest priority. My kids had a fabulous time. It will be a great memory for us!

James was amazingly incredible- great instructions, makes you feel comfortable and safe. Recommended for non-swimmers

Glad you had an amazing experience! Hope to welcome you back to Maui again soon.
Iris_E, May 2026
Tristan, the crew, and the experience were amazing. Would do it again. Be early to find parking, reapply sunblock, prep for motion sickness, and have all your questions answered before going into the ocean.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for the review! Hope to welcome you back to Maui again soon.
Christine_C, Apr 2026
Viator never told us that we were supposed to be at the place 30 minutes before start time so we missed the entire snorkeling.
Filiberto_I, Apr 2026
The crew catered to each individual as needed from beginners to experienced. A great time for all. We'll do it again!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Mahalo for the kind words! Glad you had a great time.
Jorge_C, Apr 2026
If this is your first time snorkeling I don’t know why you would go with anyone else. This team will guide you through the entire process and ensure you have an excellent experience. Thank you guys saw my wife go from zero experience and full of anxiety, to having confidence and a day we will never forget.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Mahalo for the amazing review! We’re so happy we could help your wife go from nervous to confident, that’s what it’s all about. So glad it became a day you’ll never forget. Hope to see you again
Joanne_S, Apr 2026
Great family adventure. James was an excellent guide who made us feel safe and comfortable in the water, and we saw starfish, tropical fish, turtles and a manta ray! This was the perfect end of our vacation and we highly recommend this crew for beginners and intermediates.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Glad you had an amazing time with James! Thank you for the kind words and hope to welcome you back again soon.
Jeremy_P, Apr 2026
Although the vigor of the ocean proved not to be our friend, we really enjoyed our experience with G as our snorkel guide. He spent the time needed to properly suit us up and prep us for our adventure and guided us out to open water despite the chop. While our trip unfortunately had to be cut short, we will definitely head out again the next time we are back in Hawai'i! The only recommendation we would have is to plan for potentially limited parking at Wailea Beach as a portion of the parking lot was closed so please confirm space availability before heading over.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Mahalo for your kind words! We’re so glad you enjoyed your time with G - he truly cares about making everyone feel prepared and safe, even when the ocean has other plans.
We appreciate your understanding with the conditions, and we’d love to have you back for a full experience next time.
Silpa_N, Apr 2026
Great company and a great snorkeling experience! Went out with our family of 4, kids are 5 and 6, and the instructors were so great with them. They were snorkeling without any problems thanks to the instruction they received. We’ll definitely be using MySplash for future snorkeling experiences when we return to Maui. Highly recommend!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Mahalo for the kind words! We’re so happy you had a great time and felt comfortable in the water, that’s what it’s all about.
Really appreciate the recommendation, and we can’t wait to snorkel with your family again next time you’re on Maui!
Nick_V, Apr 2026
This was such a great experience to do to get kids comfortable with snorkeling. My two daughters have never been before and Tristan, Ani and Sarah took great care of us. My one daughter was very nervous and spent most of the time on the board and Sarah kept her engaged throughout.
I’d highly recommend this experience for all first timers. It’s a great way to learn the basics and see some sea life.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Mahalo for sharing your experience! We’re so happy you had a great first time.
We love hearing that even your nervous one felt supported the whole time - that’s exactly what we aim for.
Really appreciate the recommendation, and hope to see you again on your next Maui visit!
Kelsey_H, Apr 2026
Tristan and his crew were fantastic. They made us feel safe and confident during our first time snorkeling. He even took lots of pictures and videos and sent them to us after so we didn’t have to try to bring our phone or a camera.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
We're so glad you had a great time! Hope to welcome you back to Maui soon.
Divya_S, Mar 2026
In my opinion, my splash snorkeling experience is a must do, specially at Wailea beach, we had an amazing experience. James is a great guide, he took time to explain everything and made it super easy for us, he went above and beyond to show us the world beneath water. Our group had some nervous folks and he managed them really well.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for the kind words! We're so glad you had a great time with James and felt comfortable.

Our experience was awesome. Our guide James was over the top in making my son's and mine snorkeling adventure the best.

Amazing snorkeling experience with Laura! We saw so many fish and even turtles. She’s a fantastic instructor who focuses on safety and explains all the marine life you might see. It was such a pleasant and cathartic experience. Would definitely go again.

Ashleigh_R, Feb 2026
The snorkeling for non swimmers was perfect for my two kids (8&11) who can swim but have never been snorkeling. We saw a number of turtles and my little one even ventured away from the paddle board a few times on her own. Thank you Ryan! Such a pleasant way to start the day.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Mahalo so much for sharing this wonderful experience. We’re thrilled your kids had such a great first snorkeling adventure and felt comfortable exploring - especially that special moment when your little one ventured off on her own. Hope to welcome you back again soon!

S&J were great guides and very knowledgeable. Great snorkeling option for beginners. I would recommend to all types of travelers. They shared photos with us immediately after.

As a non swimmer I felt in safe hands and never rushed. The team is really great with beginners and made sure we are comfortable in water and with the snorkel gears. The initial orientation and warm up on the shore to get familiar helped and the whole experience was a smooth sail. James was our instructor and he made sure to be around and watch and guide my 7 year old who came along.
Khati_N, Dec 2025
Our snorkeling for beginners experience with My Splash Snorkeling exceeded all expectations. Triston and his team were outstanding—professional, patient, and fantastic with kids. They provided thorough training beforehand, which really helped everyone feel comfortable.
We were snorkeling with our three sons (ages 5, 8, and 9). Our youngest became scared once we were out there, and the crew handled the situation beautifully. They kept him occupied and safe on the board while the rest of us snorkeled, allowing everyone to still enjoy the experience.
The team also took tons of photos and were able to AirDrop them to us immediately, which we really appreciated. If I could give 6 stars, I would. We would definitely book with them again and highly recommend this tour—especially for families and first-time snorkelers.

Tristan, James, Sarah -thank you for a truly wonderful experience. Special thanks to Tristan for the one on one experience. first time snorkeling I was very nervous but you helped me and my daughter relax and overcome our fears about being in water. Turtle viewing was great! Underwater life seemed to be so peaceful! Would highly recommend this activity to anyone who is looking to start their first time snorkeling!
sandeep_T, Dec 2025
It was an awesome tour. We learnt the right way of snorkeling dos and don’ts. My whole family had fun the little one had a blast thanks to Sara and James our tour guides
