We had a blast! Swam with multiple turtles, held starfish, and swam along the beautiful coral reef. The instructor was awesome and took great underwater pics of us. He was also very safety conscious. Highly recommend.

Best snorkeling with turtles experience
This was an amazing experience. We have done snorkeling with turtles off boats previously but this adventure was unique. We were brought to a cove where we swam out with appropriate equipment to get to the turtle cave. We saw 6 turtles! They were swimming close to us and even followed us back to shore! The coral and fish were also beautiful. Payson was a wonderful guide. He provided a thorough orientation. He is clearly knowledgeable about snorkeling, turtles, wildlife and Maui. He also brought us to two breathtaking beaches. We. including our daughter and grandchildren, were thrilled with this unforgettable experience. We don’t usually write reviews but want to acknowledge this 5 star+ adventure! Thanks, Payson!

One of the tour guides...
One of the tour guides called me the morning we were supposed to snorkel and cancelled our tour for the afternoon. He said the water was too rough and we would get a full refund. Totally understand the conditions were not favorable but I have never received a refund. It’s been a week now and no one will message me back. It cost me almost $300 for 4 people so very disappointing that I can’t get ahold of anyone.
Operator response
Aloha, thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We're sorry to hear about the delay in your refund. Whenever we have to cancel a tour due to us cancelling we always issue a refund in full, or attempt to reschedule. Your experience is not the level of service we wish to provide, I will be looking into this immediately and figuring out what the hold up on the refund is. Mahalo for your patience.

I’m giving this a 4 star because the walk to the van was longer than expected. I thought we would be traveling by van in an air conditioned vehicle.
Operator response
Mahalo for your feedback! I'm sorry the walk to the van was longer than you expected. Our transportation van is air-conditioned, and we meet guests at The Shops at Wailea before heading to the launch location. The day before the tour, your guide sends detailed meeting instructions, including the exact meeting spot and parking recommendations. If you happen to park on the opposite side of the shopping center, it can be a longer walk than anticipated. We appreciate you sharing your experience, and we'll continue looking for ways to make the meeting process as clear and convenient as possible. Mahalo for joining us!

Great snorkeling experience
Even though the weather wasn’t ideal—it was rainy and the water was quite choppy—we still had an incredible experience. We were lucky enough to see several Hawaiian green sea turtles, a puffer fish, and even sea urchins. Our guide, Payson, was fantastic. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel safe and comfortable despite the ocean conditions. He shared interesting information about the marine life and made the entire experience enjoyable. The small group setting was a huge plus, and we really appreciated the personalized attention. We had a great time and would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Maui.
