Robbie was super helpful, patient, and knowledgeable. He made sure everyone in our group was comfortable and got the most out of the activity. We saw so many turtles, got to hold a starfish and sea urchin, and created memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you for a great experience! We highly recommend Robbie and the local business Zephyr Maui!

My daughter and husband went on this tour as 1st time snorkelers. They had a great time and said their guide, Joe was very patient and helped us out. We loved seeing the turtles and holding a sea urchin

This was amazing!! My husband and I lucked out and were the only two on the tour!! So many amazing things to see! Alex did a great job and answered every one of our questions! We got to see so many turtles & lots of other sea animals! It was so cool being able to snorkel at sunset so you got to see when it was light and dark. Definitely recommend if you have the time!

We had an AWESOME time snorkeling. Joe and Robbie did an amazing job and took great photos of us. We saw lots of sea life.

My husband and I had Payson as our tour guide and absolutely loved the experience. The tour actually started just before sunset so we got to snorkel out while there was still some daylight and see the coral and some fish. We even got to see a whitetip reef shark before we saw 8 turtles. While waiting for turtles to come out in action (and get super close to you!), Payson would also spot other neat wildlife like a red slate pencil urchin and bat star fish and let us hold them while he took our photos. I'd highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a unique activity in Maui.

Do it!!! Robbie was an amazing guide and photographer. Our pictures came out amazing. The turtles were definitely out swimming and we had a blast watching them. Beautiful beach also!

It was cool to see the turtles. The guide got a lot of good pictures for a decent price. The sunsets were really amazing and the guide shared a lot of cool beach sites

Alex was a terrific guide and my teen son and I felt safe during this unique night experience. Alex worked hard to show us the various creatures living in these waters. Thanks!

My wife and I had a very nice experience "night snorkeling" with Robbie. The tour is intimate, and in fact due to a cancelation, it ended up being just the two of us plus the tour guide this evening. Although we have a good deal of experience snorkeling, my wife was tentative about being in the ocean after dark (can we all say "Jaws"?), but Robbie put her at ease after explaining how everything worked. One nice change the company has made is to start the snorkeling before sunset. Plenty of light to get use to the surroundings. Robbie provided high-end snorkeling gear, including flashlights for us. We snorkeled an easy 1/4 mile one way, near the shore and across coral-laden waters, to a cave where sea turtles were found swimming in and out of. Robbie dove down to the seabed and came up with a few sea creatures for us to hold and examine with his excellent knowledge of all-things ocean. We did end up seeing a 4-foot white-tipped reef shark swimming 10 feet under us, but it wanted nothing to do with us. Robbie took photo stills and videos of us and some of the sea animals we were encountering. It was a well-spent extra $75. By the time our cave destination was finished (you don't go "in" the cave), the sky was dark-ish, and flashlights were in use. Overall it was great experience and worth the money. Robbie was excellent and should be requested. The only reason it is not a 5-star is that we experienced swells during much of the snorkeling. My wife was fine, but I get a little nauseous. If I would have thought of it, I would have brought and worn my "Relief Band" which is a great product for those who get motion sickness.

This was an incredible experience, and our guide, Robbie, was awesome! He patiently taught the newbies in the group and helped us feel comfortable in the water. We saw 10 or so turtles, lots of fish, and got to hold sea urchins and sea stars. Buy the photos - it’s so worth it!!
paul_a, Jan 2026
From the turtles to octupi, it was a beautiful sunset snorkeling.
The guide (Robbie) was amazing. Reassuring, knowledgeable and an unbelievable photographer
Also, very small group. It was only 5 people on the excursion.
Only thing I Would change is titwl...it is a sunset experience not nighttime.
Marvyn_K, Jan 2026
Payson was an amazing tour guide! Took care of us, took great photos, and made sure everyone had a good time. We saw a lot of turtles and cool fishes. Overall a tour you shouldn’t miss.
CJ_H, Jan 2026
Amazing experience with lots of turtle action! Payson was a fantastic tour guide. The sunset in the water was gorgeous and swimming with the turtles was even better. Highly recommend!!

This is the amazing tour, see the turtles on the sea is beautiful. No recommend to little kids under 12, unless they are brave enough. Happen to my 9 year old. My 13 have amazing time.
Zoe_C, Nov 2025
This was a fantastic experience! Joe was an awesome guide. He took amazing pictures and went out of his way to make sure we saw all types of wildlife. I’ve never been so close to a sea turtle before and the views were incredible!!
Andria_D, Oct 2025
Robbie was incredible! Very knowledgeable, informative, and fun! We saw a lot of sea-life and TONS of turtles! The swim was relaxed and easy. Amazing experience being in the ocean at night. Thank you for an incredible snorkeling trip!
Suphatphong_S, Oct 2025
We had a blast! Joe our tour guide was very thorough and experienced and guided us every step of the way. And we got to see at least five turtles up close and he took numerous photos and videos of us for our enjoyment after the amazing experience. Thanks so much!
Brent_B, Jul 2025
Truly one of the highlights of our Maui trip. From start to finish our guide Alec was awesome. The turtles were swimming all around the area he took us too, and the sea life came alive at night. We saw more than 10 turtles. The equipment was top of the line, just everything. Can’t say enough about this small company and their guide, Alec!
james_T, Jul 2025
Absolute best snorkel adventure on the island! Rob and Alec did a great job showing us around, catching octo's and keeping everyone safe. Would recommend to anyone!

Joe was an awesome guide! We saw lots of turtles and fish. Snorkeling at sunset was a truly magical experience! Mahalo!
Suzanne_N, Jun 2025
If you like snorkeling and you want to see turtles, this is the adventure for you! There are an abundance of turtles, and they swim right up to you. Robbie, the guide, is extremely knowledgeable. In addition to turtles, he brings up starfish, sea urchins, and an octopus (if he can find one) for everybody to hold. Lots of great pictures, as well!!
Jennifer_D, Apr 2025
Super fun experience! Robbie was a great guide and super easy to follow. We were able to see turtles, lobster, star fish, & so much more. So worth a trip!
Jacqueline_G, Mar 2025
