Worth half a day.

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.

Good people good trip great day!

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.

Amazing Experience!

We did the Lanai snorkeling and dolphin watching tour and it was AMAZING! They were actually able to park the boat in the middle of a pod of spinner dolphins. They just played around the boat. It was highlight of our trip to Maui! Casey and Captain Jill were so great. They knew so much about the area and the wildlife. And it is obvious they care about this beautiful place and enjoy showing it off. We enjoyed this tour so much and would HIGHLY recommend it!

Absolutely Incredible Excursion—Whales, Dolphins, and Snorkeling!

We had an absolutely incredible time on this whale and snorkel excursion! The departure location at Mala Ramp in Lahaina was incredibly easy to find. From start to finish, the staff was both friendly and highly knowledgeable. The boat itself was very comfortable, and because they limit the tour's capacity, the experience never felt crowded and was thoroughly enjoyable. The wildlife we saw was unforgettable—we lucked out and spotted bottlenose dolphins, spinner dolphins, and even a mother and baby humpback whale! We also got to snorkel at two absolutely beautiful stops. They kept us well-fed throughout the day, providing a nice continental breakfast, lunch, and a snack at the end, along with plenty of soda and water. The only downside—which was completely unavoidable—was that crossing the channel on the way back from Lanai to Maui was very choppy. If you have any neck or back issues, I would not suggest this excursion. But if that's not a concern for you, this is an awesome excursion and we thoroughly enjoyed our day trip!

Lanai Dolphin Trip

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!

This experience was well...

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.

Amazing Snorkel Adventure!

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.

Absolutely one to book !

I’ve had the pleasure of going out with Ultimate Whale Watch & Snorkel multiple times during whale season and on snorkel excursions, and every outing has been an absolute delight. The experience Ultimate gives on their trips is what truly sets them apart. Each trip features attentive, enthusiastic crew members - Their crew member Casey is fantastic , she is so sweet and incredibly knowledgeable ! Highly recommend booking a trip with them !

The best experience

We had the absolute best experience with captain Jill and Casey! My kids got a VIP treatment overall, but especially once we spotted some dolphins! We snorkeled in 3 different areas and all were so different but equally amazing. We loved every second of our 6 hour tour! My son would rate them 1000 out of 10 he said!
