Awesome Small Group Experience!

Robyn_M, Jul 2023
Amazing! Only 10 people on the boat. They took us to a beautiful coral reef where we saw lots of wildlife including beautiful fish and even a spotted eagle ray! It was awesome. Highly recommend.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Seeing an eagle ray is rare and such a cool encounter! So glad you go to see some awesome reef, wildlife and had fun on our small group snorkel! Mahalo for sharing an adventure with us while you were on Maui!

Fun in Maui

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Stoked to had fun on the rafting snorkel tour and the crew were great host! Next time maybe the 6 hour tour would be more adventure time for you! Mahalo for snorkeling with us!

Great and friendly crew!

Benjamin_L, Jul 2022
Vinny and Will were really friendly and helpful, and especially Vinny, was extremely thoughtful and caring. Tour itself was great too as there are nice views and wildlife, overall had a nice time!

Response from Host, Aug 2022

The crew really make the experience, so stoked to hear Will and Vini were awesome host and the snorkeling portion of the tour was great as well!

Such a waste of money!

This excursion was a disappointment. The weather was questionable so we did not go to Turtletown but went just up the shoreline a few miles to snorkel. Saw a few turtles and fish and then just rode around a while before going back to the drop off point. This was an expensive tour and we definitely did not get what we paid for. Checkout other option before booking this excursion.

Response from Host, May 2022

Sounds like the tour was exactly what we promised, snorkeling along Maui's coast with turtles and tropical fish, a fun boat ride and yummy food, even with tough weather our captains provided a full experience! We take our guests to turtle locations along the west coast of Maui, there are many locations where turtle feeding stations are and that is what the tour includes. Not sure if you were expecting turtle town locations on the south side of the island? But our turtle snorkel spots are on the west side of Maui as stated in the tour description due to us being located on the west coast of Maui. If you were looking for a tour to Lanai, that is our longer 4 or 6 hour Lanai Snorkel Dolphin Tour.
