My family and I had a beautiful day out snorkeling. The crew was amazing. They went above and beyond to ensure that we had an amazing experience. And Shasta was very knowledgeable and showed us so many cool things. We saw turtles fish dolphins and whales! The food was great and plentiful! They made sure to take us to good snorkel spots it the planed spot didn't look good we went somewhere else! Don't hesitate to book this one you won't regret it!

Nice tour with experienced and nice staff members/tourguides. Coral snorkeling was good, but had expected to see more of the sea turtles. This can probably not be controlled by the tour organizers, but would be good if they had more alternatives to see turtles when the destination did not deliver much. Anyway, great staff, boat and organization.
This was an amazing trip! The captain and crew were outstanding, knew everything you needed to know, plus more! We felt well taken care of, safe, and the excitement from Will and Shasta when we found dolphins, turtles, and so many other creatures, was contagious! I couldn’t recommend this tour more. You won’t regret it!
The whole experience was amazing!!the staff was very helpful and made the experience even better I’d do it again
I have land mobility issues. The entire crew was extremely helpful to my special needs without making me feel like a burden. I can have a little bit of trouble climbing ladders back onto boats because of weakness in my legs. This ladder was the best I have used. It is narrow enough to easily pull with both hands and the railings continue up from the last step, so that I could get traction all the way onto the raft. Five stars for the ladders!
Krista and Will gave very complete instructions for first time snorkelers, making sure that they were comfortable with the experience.
Krista was in the water with us, pointing out sea creatures in a way that I haven't experienced on other trips.
There was fruit passed out before the first stop, banana bread between stops, and a wrap and chips for lunch.
Overall, an outstanding experience. I plan to go again before I head home.
speed boat provides a fun ride to the snorkeling spots; Shasta was an awesome guide and knew exactly where to take us to see sea turtles, sand sharks and cool fish; our day started by our captain taking us to look for whales and he found a mama and baby humpback; food and snacks were good too!
The crew was so friendly and informative. One even swam down and found my friends ring that fell off
This was an excellent experience. The snorkeling spots were outstanding, you get a water born guide to explain what you're seeing and how it's relevant to Hawaii. The food is excellent as well, which is a nice break from all the restaurants. The boat is well equipped, and there was plenty of choices for drinks along the way. Overall, a wonderful experience and I recommend these people highly.
Great boat and great service. The snorkeling was good even in rough seas. Would definitely go again.
Delightful crew, great food, wonderful boat and experience. I really enjoyed the locations selected to snorkel.
This was a great experience from the time we left the beach to when we returned. Shasta and Micaiah were very helpful, caring and knowledgeable. Both sites were amazing, sea turtles, dolphins, tropical fish and sharks. They had all the equipment that we needed and more. Everything was clean and well maintained. Plenty of food and drink, juice, soda, water, fruit, banana bread and wraps for lunch. Everything was fresh and delicious. I highly recommend this experience and would do it again.
Amazing! Provided a nice breakfast, lunch, and TONS of sunscreen. Our guides were friendly helpful and knew a ton about the area and the wildlife. We saw whales, dolphins, turtles, tons of fish, etc! I would def do it again, 1000% worth it. Unforgettable experience with GREAT guides. Thank you so much!!!
Awesome from start to finish! We saw so many fish, turtles, spotted eagle ray, white tip reef sharks and more! Derrick and Shasta make it feel 5 star. Lovely snacks and lunch, finished with cold hand towel. So nice to get the salt off. Looking forward to doing this again!
Our guides were very knowledge and safety conscience! The reefs they chose were beautiful. We saw sea turtles, reef shark (harmless), eel, several kinds of fish, coral and urchins.
Heading back to Maui in June with my 15 yo granddaughter who will love this excursion!
Highly recommend!

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
Really fantastic time. Felt well taken care of by the crew. Shasta was extremely knowledgeable about the sea life. Crew made sure we had a spectacular time.
Staff was friendly, kind & super attentive. Food was great. Learned a lot and had a great time.Awesome for all ages
Really as good as advertised! Worth the money and a great experience for the whole family! Quite a day!!!
Quality snorkeling locations including numerous sea turtles. Very gracious, knowledgeable and helpful staff. Boarding the boat was a bit cumbersome and complicated.
Small operation. There were 18 guests and a marine biologist who snorkeled with us and showed us marine life and told us about them. We also so sooooo. Many whale and she educated us all about them. Never saw so many whales breaching. Great experience.
Experience was lovely. Shasta was a great guide. We saw sea turtles and had an amazing time. I'd recommend this tour for anyone interested in snorkeling in Maui.
The crew was great. Sasha got in the water with us and knew all the right places to look for sea life. We have snorkeled many times but this was the best experience by far!!
I’ve snorkeled lots of places over the years including Maui multiple times, and this was my best snorkel day ever! My son thinks he doesn’t love snorkeling but Derrick and Malaki made it fun and he had a great time at both snorkel spots - which were excellent! We learned a ton about the ocean, we saw whales breach, a pod of spinner dolphins, saw a turtle cleaning station, spotted eagle rays, eels, octopus, etc. Derrick learned everyone’s name right off the bat and made sure to point out fish we would have missed on our own, swimming down multiple times to point things out for the group. It really was the perfect day and a wonderful small operation. The banana bread, fruit and wraps were delicious too and I was grateful there was a vegetarian option.
Shasta was great swimming with us and naming fish. Very knowledgable on marine life! Had a great time. Highly recommend!
Knowledgeable crew and small group size led to a thoroughly enjoyable experience! Highly recommend this tour!
Absolutely perfect trip, Captain and Shasta were amazing, they do a lot of extra little things that make the trip personal, and the places they took us were incredible...sea turtles, sharks and more!
The team were great, very friendly and importantly prioritized our safety throughout the snorkeling experience. They also provided an excellent breakfast and lunch, kept us hydrated and had sun protection on offer. I was also impressed that they constantly kept a lookout and pointed out a pod of dolphins that were close by.
Excellent trip. Took us to two great locations. The second location probably lay had 40 sea turtles. Great service and food.
This was an incredible experience with smaller group than what you may normally see on excursions like this. The spots we were brought to didn’t disappoint, and the crew was so attentive to everyone. I have been on a lot of snorkeling excursions, but this was by far the best one and worth every penny and more!
Derek and Shasta were a great crew! On a rainy day they found us a sunny spot where we saw dolphins, turtles, tons of fish. They kept us well fed and were incredibly friendly.
Loved traveling with a small group for this trip. Makiya and Shasta were fabulous guides and hosts. The snorkel stops, including Honolua Bay, were great and it was super fun to swim with sea turtles. We were fortunate to find ourselves amongst eagle rays, dolphins and other massive sea turtles. Thank you!
