This was a well organized, safe, enjoyable experience. Not only do you get an awesome day snorkeling, seeing sea turtles, dolphins but so much information from knowledgeable captains/ marine biologists. My family and I walked away from this experience with such a great appreciation and understanding of our beautiful ocean and marine life. Chad and Casey are so fun and I would take this trip again and again! I highly recommend it to anyone!

Overall good

We had a great time on this excursion overall. We visited Coral Gardens and another snorkeling spot called Slaughterhouse, where we saw several sea turtles, a wide variety of colorful fish, and even an eel. The snorkeling itself was beautiful and truly felt like an enchanting experience. That said, we were a little disappointed that we did not end up going to Lanai, as that was the main reason we booked this particular excursion. Many previous reviews mentioned sightings of dolphins, sharks, rays, and other marine life that aren’t as commonly seen on other snorkeling trips. We completely understand that marine life sightings can never be guaranteed and that ocean conditions ultimately dictate where it’s safe to go. From what we gathered, a south swell made it impossible to travel to Lanai that day. Our only suggestion would be better communication regarding itinerary changes. We felt that a clear announcement to all guests explaining why the destination had changed would have been appreciated, rather than only hearing bits and pieces of information from select conversations. Despite this, it was still one of the prettiest snorkeling experiences we’ve had, and the crew worked hard to ensure everyone had a great time. We would recommend this excursion to friends and family, especially for those looking to enjoy Maui’s incredible underwater beauty.

It’s different from the big boats. Boat is small with less amenities, but the sites were good and saw lots of dolphins. Knowledgable crew.

Worth the booking

We had a fantastic time on this tour, as a family of 5. The tour guides were amazing! They were helpful, encouraging, and fun! We feel the experience fit the advertisement to the letter. Not only did we see Dolphins, and sea turtles, but Lexie (guide) was very patient with our daughter who was reluctant to get in the water. She influenced her to get in and remained close to her to provide a good experience.

2nd Time Was Just as Good

Thank you Chad and Lexi! Variable conditions did not damper the fun…Chad and Lexi were great and the Dolphins sharks, turtles and snorkeling did not disappoint. We had to reschedule from the 6 hour Thursday to the 4 hour Friday due to the conditions. Reschedule was smooth and easy. Top notch team and experience all around. We the 6 hour last year with Jill and Casey which was awesome and brought us back again this year. Both crews are amazing and fun! Thank for both times!
