One of the best days I’ve had in Maui!! Fantastic attentive staff, open bar with delicious island cocktails, snorkel gear, mineral sunscreen and towels provided, great tacos. And…swimming with turtles was just amazing!! Beautiful sail to a spectacular snorkel spot. I would do this again for sure!

Boat was nice, clean, lots of space.
Crew was great! Wish it was a little longer out in the water though.

Stop looking if you come across this excursion! This luxury catamaran tour was just that...luxurious! What an awesome boat! The staff were just as great. They provided 1st class service. Keeping drinks in our hand, the boat clean, and offering a wonderful catered meal. They offered towels and snorkel gear, though we brought our own. I learned that the catamaran is the largest in Maui...I personally felt it traveled smoothly through the water though I do not have motion/sea sickness. The staff was informative, friendly, accommodating and made safety a priority. In fact, the 1st spot they took us to that had visible turtles had high winds...45knot to be exact, so the water was too rough to allow us to get in. They took us about 10 minutes further to a cove-like area that helped block the wind and kept the water calmer. It had plenty of colorful fish but no turtleTurtles. Safety first though! They also have a professional photographer who gets into the water and offers to take photos for a fee. We purchased them as it was our 1st time snorkeling and wanted to capture the moment in high def! Haha. The photos came out great so definitely we found value in the service! Would definitely book with this company again...no hesitation! Highly recommend!

This trip was the perfect day. Snorkeling with Turtles and eating delicious tacos after. We had a surprise appearance from a bunch of humpback whales in the distance. Very friendly and knowledgeable crew. The catamaran had stairs that lowered into the water. You didn’t have to climb a swim ladder.
Response from Host, Feb 2026

Amazing experience! We had two adults and two teens. The length of the trip was perfect - 3 hours was just enough for all of us to snorkle, eat, and enjoy the sun. Staff was impeccable - always checking in and making sure safety was 1st priority. They answered our question thoroughly. Equipment was good and clean. Nice to not have to bring bags and bags of things. It was awesome to have open bar, food provided, and learn about the area. We even saw whales! Highly recommend!!!
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Mahalo for the amazing review! We’re thrilled your family had such a perfect trip with the snorkeling, food, sun, and even whale sightings. The crew will be delighted by your kind words, and we truly appreciate your recommendation!
