An AMAZING experience!!!!

This was our favorite outing on Maui this trip!! Boat was ready. Staff was great and the turtles were AWESOME!! We couldn’t have had a better time. They supplied all equipment (except bring a towel)!! Continental breakfast/coffee/juice and hot dog and chips/drinks and a cookie for lunch. Not over the top but truly an AMAZING experience!

Fantastic experience!

This was a great experience! The crew were very knowledgeable and extremely kind. There wasn't a second we didn't enjoy. They took us to where we could see lots of sea turtles. Very exciting trip. This trip was the best bang for your buck by far. We will be booking with them again next year! Thank you QuickSilver team! 5 stars all the way! P.S. Buy 2 t-shirts a great price and very nice quality.

Was ok, saw turtles as promised

Ultimately it’s an 1.5 hr of snorkeling, the rest is travel to and from the spot. We did see multiple sea turtles. But, the water was deep so we didn’t see a variety of fish. I saw a couple different ones that swam deeper, but couldn’t make them out. I did appreciate the option for vegetarian lunch.

Family Friendly Snorkel Trip

This was a fun, family friendly trip. Unfortunately due to the weather and water conditions, we couldn’t swim as much as we wanted but the crew did everything they could to help us enjoy the trip. The crew was knowledgeable and friendly. We’d book again!

Amazing and Affordable Tour

The crew was great. They came around throughout the ride with water and snacks to make sure we were hydrated. We had plenty of time to snorkel and sightseeing. The price was half the amount of other tours in the area and we had the same experience if not better. It was a small group. Highly recommend!

My kids' first...

My kids' first snorkelling experience was great and I'm glad we went with Quicksilver Maui! All the staff were friendly and helpful. Of course, travelling with kids, the fact that this excursion provided snacks and lunch made it all the more better and they even had quite a selection of drinks! I'm glad we got to see several fishes, turtles, and a family of dolphins along with the snorkelling itself- this made for a great experience!

Snorkel with bonus whales!

We had a wonderful time on this trip. The whales were popping and the snorkel was beautiful. The crew was amazing and so nice. The food and drinks served were top tier too. The only downside was that we had booked a smaller boat, but due to less people booking, we were moved to the larger boat. It was a little crowded for what we paid. It was still a good trip, just more people than we had originally planned. I definitely will book with this charter again because the crew was wonderful. The bonus of all the whale sightings made it over the top amazing.
