We had a great time. The captain and crew were so kind and helpful. They gave us excellent information about our gear and the technique we needed. They were very safety oriented, but also very personable and fun. The crew was attentive to our needs and took great care of us. We saw sea turtles and lots of tropical fish. Definitely a 10/10 experience.

The crew is highly trained and provides a positive and friendly atmosphere. I deeply
appreciated their help with my disability as it took me a little longer to board the catamaran. Since I hadn't been snorkeling before, their encouragement went a long way.

Wonderful snorkel trip on Sea Maui with a friendly, polite & helpful crew! Happy Birthday James!! Although it was a windy day with big waves, the crew found a calm cove for us to snorkel. We saw so many fish & turtles too. Enjoyed ginger beer beverages on the way back. Great time was had by all. Crew provided us with all the gear we needed. Thank you to the wonderful captain & crew!!

Captain nick and crew were fantastic- so easy going and friendly! Great with young kids and beginners and very knowledgeable!

Great staff, super smooth sailing, clear waters, saw a family of about 20 turtles plus a baby!! 2 reef sharks, a few colorful fish (though not as much as shallow reef snorkeling) , and an eagle ray. And dolphins swam back with our boat on the way back to shore. Good selection of drinks and even included some snacks. The boat was very comfortable to sit in. Absolutely great value adventure and highly recommend.

The crew was helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. We appreciated their professionalism. We felt incredibly fortunate to have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to swim alongside the turtles; it was truly magical. My niece, who is 9 years old, snorkeled for the first time and did an amazing job!

Great family activity! We went with an 8 year old and a 5 year old, they both loved it. The crew was kind and accommodating to whatever the kids needed. Perfect length of a trip for a morning outing as a family.

It was a great experience: the staff was great, the length is just right, we didn’t want a longer excursion. We saw couple of turtles and other sea creatures. My kids loved it!
Lona_L, Nov 2025
The captain and crew were helpful and happy. We did the 2.5 hour trip which was a perfect amount of time to see many varieties of fish and sea turtles! We will do this excursion again if visiting Maui in the future.

I chose this express snorkel because my husband gets seasick and my 12 yr old son didn’t want to snorkel. This trip was so much fun that my son was wishing we were out there longer. My husband was fine with motion sickness meds. The boat was a decent size and clean. There were about 30-40 people on the boat and even though it was a bit crowded I still felt like I had space to enjoy myself. The crew was excellent. Maybe 5 minutes after I got on the boat they asked me if I wanted anything to drink. As soon as I was done snorkeling I had a mai tai in my hand. They were friendly and professional. We saw a lot of fish, turtles and even dolphins. We all had a great time and it was worth the money.
Claire_S, Nov 2025
Efficient and knowledgeable crew lead this easy intro to snorkeling. Saw so many fish and sea turtles!
Stephanie_K, Nov 2025
Our family of 6 had a blast!! Was the perfect length for our younger kids. Saw fish, turtles, a manta ray and even a whale! Such an amazing experience! Thank you!
Megan_W, Nov 2025
We didn’t have a lot of time for a long snorkel excursion. This was a direct route to our snorkeling location, and we got to spend the majority of our trip in the water snorkeling! Definitely would do this again even if we had longer. Amazing views and the crew was outstanding!
Makenna_R, Nov 2025
Everything about this tour was incredible. The crew members were great and the snorkeling was amazing. We saw many sea turtles, lots a fish, and a few other sea animals. We had a great time and will definitely be back!
