This experience was well thought, organized, and executed! Our boat was less than 20 people, all families with varying ages. We had two adults and 5 kids from age 10-16. Our captains were kind, considerate, helpful, full of knowledge around the places we went. We got to see spinner dolphins, tons of fish, coral gardens, beautiful cliffs, blue water. They provided muffins, fruit, chips, drinks, sandwiches along the way. Would do it again any day. Great tour and loved the family friendly small intimate experience.

Friendly captains and decent snorkel sites on 6/25. Mainly schools of small fish, but much better coral than I’ve seen anywhere else in USA. The entire group enjoyed seeing 6 turtles at the end of the day! I would absolutely book this tour again.

What a professional and well run experience! Our crew was so knowledgeable, fun, personable and tuned into their group. I felt so well cared for and safe at all times. These guys run a top notch trip. Plenty of food, drink and fun. It’s a long boat ride but well worth it. Can’t say enough of about this company! 5 stars all around.

Nice trip! However, a microphone would have been helpful to hear instructions and info regarding aquatic life. Also, the sandwich would be best served without condiments as ours was soggy/wet- hate wasting food! Loved seeing whales (unexpected) and the spinner dolphins were amazing!

We had an amazing time snorkeling at 4 different unique spots off of Lana’i. Captain Jill and Casey were so accommodating and great telling us all about the local reefs. The water was so clear it was like swimming in an aquarium. We looked for dolphins but we couldn’t find the pod. We will have to return again to go on their Whale tour in the winter.
Shelley_H, May 2025
Jill and Lexxie were excellent hosts, very informative, Lexxie found reef sharks hiding under the pilings by the boat ramp and pointed them out! Saw everything. Lanai snorkeling was fantastic
KG_B, Sep 2024
Not enough can be said. Great crew. CAPTIAN JILL AND LEXI amazing. Just remember this is a small craft boat and you are in the middle of ocean. Despite the years of experience If you have back problems, prior back neck injuries ,pregnant Don't go.
Kyle_N, Aug 2024
Cancelled on us the night before. Blamed it on poor weather, but the weather was fantastic on the AM of the tour.
Response from Host, Aug 2024
Aloha, After a storm we will often cancel due to the water being murky and unsafe for snorkeling. We try our best to give people as much notice as possible and give them options to reschedule.
Kevin_T, May 2024
The captain and crew were amazing! We had the best time and highly recommend this trip. Could not have been more impressed by the quality of the trip. The boat was comfortable and had lots of room. The gear was great and we saw a group of 400 dolphins along with three very cool places to snorkel. And encountered sea turtles, flying fish, whales in the distance and even got to see friendly reef sharks they the crew knew about and gave the option to get in or not. I would recommend to anybody advanced or beginner. Great for children too.
Robert_P, Nov 2022
All around great, exciting ride! Dolphins galore, coral, fishies, and captain and guide who know these calm and rough Maui waters. Great music too captain!

Snorkeling at the reef! We saw amazing fishes, swimming with turtles at title role bay and being able to circumnavigate Lanai island. Also the guide gave us good explanations about the island

Mahalo! We're so happy to hear you had a FANTASTIC DAY with us!

This is a 6 hour fairly intense Snorkel trip. Probably best for experienced Snorkelers. That said, Shannon and Captain Troy were amazing with my kids. My 6, 10, and 12 year old had never snorkeled before. Shannon and Troy were so patient with all of them. My son got very sick due to rough waters, but he powered through. We saw a huge pod of dolphins and stopped at some amazing Snorkel sites. Also were able to see a bunch of sea turtles and swim in the open water. Food was amazing!! Honestly, this was a life changing experience for me, but was a little rough on my inexperienced kids.

Participated in the small group snorkel trip with my family and friend. Loved the boat trip and snorkeling near Lana’i. Saw lots of fish and turtles! Tasty snacks/drinks while on the water. Hana and Sara were awesome! Professional, knowledgeable and safety minded while keeping things light and fun! These excursions are defined by the quality of the hosts, the scenery, and equipment provided…..they definitely hit the mark!

Hey friends!
We can't recommend this tour enough. We boarded with our 2 kids, ages 7 and 9, and all 4 of us had a great day.
Your boat captain, Emma, and her first mate, Shannon, are 2 bada$$ women who make this tour phenomenal. While they do take you out snorkeling to Lanai, that was not what set this tour apart.
1. The boat is fast, and the music is fun! My son especially loved the speed and hitting the ways.
2. Emma is very knowledgeable about the islands, the wildlife, and the boat/safety. Her commentary really added to the tour.
3. We saw dolphins! A pod of about 100 of them. Although my daughter was quite sea sick, all was forgiven when we spent time watching these beautiful creatures, and she even exclaimed, "This is the best day of my life!"
4. My daughter (7) spent quite a bit of time on the boat while we snorkeled. She told me that the Emma and Shannon were much better than the team from the previous boat we went on with another company. I asked her why, and she said,"They were so kind and supportive to me."
5. On the ride home, the ocean was like glass. Emma referred to it as, 'Lake Maui' and offered us the chance to jump in and free swim in the calm, deep blue sea. It was hands down, my personal favorite!
6. I loved the opportunity of being able to show my young daughter this example of 2 strong, capable, women in these roles.
7. You will go snorkeling in 2 locations. You will like that, too.
My only feedback is to tone down the safety verbiage with kids on the boat. Talk of death against the rocks is a bit unnerving for the Littles.
Cheers, Emma and Shannon!
See you in whale season sometime!

The captain was amazing her deck hand was so knowledgeable. They took us to all the spots . We had to do two rescues for other boats and people that needed help . Lunch was amazing. It was all around the best
Response from Host, Oct 2021
WOW sounds like you had quite the adventure with all the spots, amazing food, great crew AND two rescue missions! Never a dull moment out on the water ;) Mahalo from Captain Amy and the crew for exploring with us!
David_F, Oct 2021
Excellent trip; highly recommend! Seeing the spinner and bottlenose dolphins was the highlight! Our first snorkel location was clear with lots of fish. We didn't get to see octopus at the second location but the ride out was beautiful and the water very clear. We wrapped up with some dolphins, turtles and even saw a few friendly sharks. Great crew and trip.
Response from Host, Oct 2021
Mahalo! We're so happy to hear you had a great time and got to see so many dolphins- they are so magnificent to watch play! Safe travels
Daniel_Jessica, Sep 2021
Absolutely fabulous trip. Amy and Hannah were so nice, entertaining and knowledgeable!
The ride on the boat was smooth, views and scenery were fabulous. The snorkeling equipment was great and worked well.
We saw a pod of spinner dolphins in the very beginning and Amy followed them to let us continue to see, which was amazing.
We had two different spots for snorkeling which were beautiful.
Response from Host, Sep 2021
Happy to hear you had fabulous and fun trip! Amy and Hannah are the best! The views, adventure, and marine life are what we live for and love sharing it ;) Mahalo

We had an awesome trip. Captain and first had were top notch. Got to see a pod of 200+ dolphins. Will absolutely do this trip again!
Response from Host, Aug 2021
Glad you guys had an awesome trip! Hanging with a top notch crew while watching a ton of dolphins dance all around the boat is definitely the makings of a stellar trip :) Mahalo for making it a fun one and we look forward to seeing you again! Aloha
Mark_B, Aug 2021
I had never snorkeled before and am a poor swimmer. Hannah was an amazing guide - so very kind and caring. She assured this senior citizen that I could do it and stayed right beside me coaching me along the way. My experience was the stuff dreams are made of. It was like swimming in your dentist’s aquarium. Beautiful tropical fish were everywhere and we were even blessed to have a sea turtle join the party. On the way back to the dock we watched a pod of dolphins playing that included a tiny baby. So cool to see. We could not have had a better experience and I would do this again in a nano-second! I’ll never forget it!
Response from Host, Aug 2021
Hannah and the whole crew are so stoked our trip was the highlight of your vacation! We had a great time exploring Maui with you, and are so excited you got to see all the sites from fish to turtles to dolphins- we look forward to seeing you again!
Lizeth_A, Jul 2021
There were so many great moments on this trip. From the banana bread to the pod of spinner dolphins to the white tipped shark. It was amazing!! The staff was on point the whole time. It was quite the adventure that I will never forget.
Response from Host, Aug 2021
So awesome you saw dolphins and the reef shark! Glad the crew was fun and you had an awesome adventures, mahalo for going out with us!
Vincent_C, Jul 2021
Absolutely amazing time! Within the first 10 minutes on the water we were surrounded by a pod of 200+ dolphins. We made three amazing stops throughout the day: two on lanai and one back on Maui. We saw huge schools of fish, octopi, multiple turtles. The captain and the first mate Hannah were so so kind and super informative. Breakfast and lunch was amazing and we couldn’t have been happier with our purchase. 10/10 would do again.
Ps. Always re apply sun screen - this Maui sun hits different…
Response from Host, Jul 2021
10/10, we'll take it! So glad you had a great time snorkeling with the crew and had an awesome dolphin encounter! Mahalo for choosing us to snorkel with!
Deborah_S, Jul 2021
I can't speak highly enough about this experience. This trip was amazing! The snorkeling spots looked like an underwater aquarium. There were so many fish and so many varieties. We saw a sea turtle, encountered a pod of 100 spinner dolphins, and a pair of bottle nosed dolphins.
The staff was truly terrific. Hannah and Amy went out of their way to make everything comfortable and easy. They were patient with folks who were nervous, had floatation devices. If you didn't have cash to rent a wetsuit, they had venmo. It was so much fun having them guide our visit and to see how excited they both got when we spotted the dolphins.
I highly recommend this company for your snorkeling adventure! Mahalo!!
Response from Host, Jul 2021
Yay for dolphins! Amazing to encounter so many of them! And stoked you saw tropical fish and turtles as well! Hannah and Amy both love being on the water and so glad they got to share that passion for the ocean with you! Mahalo!

This tour was a highlight of our trip to Maui. We were able to see oodles of turtles, dolphins, and all kinds of fish and sea life — up close and personal. Our crew - Amy and Emma - were amazing. They are so knowledgeable and intent that we have the best experiences possible. The good was great too. Definitely worth the time and money. Thanks Emma and Amy!!!
