Fantastic Molokini Experience
Molokini creator/dome is a must do in Maui and this company does it with heart and precision. The trip was priceless and the crew was delightful. They provided everything you like from the minute you step on, to the minute you step off. Lovely birthday outing for my daughter with a memory of a lifetime. Thanks Josiah and crew! It was a blast!!!! Paul & Alo

Great snorkeling experience
Excellent snorkeling and boat experience. Captain Chase and his crew Braxton, Meagan, and Nate did an amazing job in making the trip a wonderful experience. The breakfast and lunch provided were both good. We got to see some beautiful fish, and even dolphins on our way back in from Molokini Crater.
Operator response
Aloha! We truly appreciate you sharing your experience with us. We’re so happy to hear Captain Chase and crew helped make your day on the water so enjoyable. Seeing the beauty of Molokini and a pod of dolphins along the way is always a special treat. Mahalo for choosing Sail Maui—we hope to have you join us again for another unforgettable adventure! 🐬

Best Experience On Maui
Friendly crew, great service, helpful with kids. What I liked best was that the trip was not a straight line to the crater and back. They followed the coast, wrapped around Molokini, and gave you a full experience. This trip should be a must for first time visitors and this crew was top notch!
Operator response
Mahalo for your wonderful review! We're so glad you enjoyed the sail and appreciated the route around to Molokini—it really does make for a more memorable experience. Thank you for your kind words about our crew, and we hope to welcome your family back aboard the next time you're on Maui!

So nice to actually SAIL!
Brandon and the crew were awesome! We did not have a lot of wind, but they definitely made every attempt to sail as much as possible. Breakfast and lunch were much better than expected, and they make a mean cocktail. The snorkeling and the whales were also incredible! I would highly recommend, but don’t be late! they like to leave exactly on time!!
Operator response
Mahalo for your review! We are thrilled to hear you had such a great time on the water with us and that they were able to put the sails up. Hope you join us again soon. Aloha!

The best tour we did on Maui
We had a very memorable trip out to Molokini and back. Brandon, Jen/Jess and Joey did a great job. We saw lots of whales, had a great snorkel at Molokini Crater and saw even more humpback whales on the trip back.
Operator response
Mahalo for leaving us a review. We are thrilled to hear that you had such a great time on your Molokini trip with us! Glad our crew was able to treat you so well; we are so thankful to have them! Hope you join us again soon. Aloha!

This was a great...
This was a great experience. We saw at least 50 whales and had a magical experience snorkeling in the Molokini crater. The crew (AJ, Brandon, Jeff) were amazing and helped make sure that all of us were comfortable. Breakfast, lunch and coffee was provided, and we overall ended up having a very comfortable luxury adventure experience. I strongly recommend this for all travelers!
Operator response
Aloha! We are thrilled that you got to see so many whales! That is amazing. Whale season is very magical here on Maui. Glad to hear that you had such a fun time and that our crew treated you well, making you feel comfortable aboard. We hope you join us again in the future for another sailing adventure. Mahalo!

Amazing
So great. We messed up reading the instructions and arrived close to departure and then had trouble finding where to go but they waited for us and we were so glad the did. The boat is beautiful and the ride over was even more beautiful. We saw whales both directions. The crew was great! The food and service on the boat was top notch. Great boating experience.
Our car did get towed. If you park in the dirt in the harbor lot, make sure you don’t have any wheels on the concrete.
Operator response
Mahalo for taking the time to leave us a review. We are so glad to hear that you had such an amazing experience aboard with us! Very glad to hear that you did not miss your trip despite being a little late, and we are very sorry to hear that your car got towed. But, glad that you had a good time on board and got to see some whales. We hope you join us again in the future. Aloha!
