I would book with these guys and look no further. Brad and Chris are phenomenal. You can tell they have years of experience. I highly recommend the zodiak, the ride is fast and fun but very comfortable and smooth, no need to worry about getting sea sick. Turtle cove was UNREAL. You’re basically guaranteed to swim with sea turtles, lots of them, and there were no crowds, just our group. The molokini crater snorkel is beautiful. You’ll get plenty of time at each stop. The crew also provided refreshments, a light breakfast, snacks and a tasty lunch. Brad and chris are knowledgeable and kept us laughing the whole time. You’ll love this experience, it gets right to the good stuff!

Amazing adventure with spectacular snorkeling
Michael_K, Jan 2025
Ryan and Esteban were awesomen, attentive to all the guests. Great snorkeling I'm turtle cove and saw several turtles. Also stopped so we could see several whales along the way. Snorkeling in Molokini crater was also amazing. When underwater you could hear the whales off in the distance which was incredible. 10/10 would recommend and will book again

We got sooo lucky with this trip! Boat usually takes 25-40 people, and minimum group at least 12. It was 4 of us! 2 couples, it was amazing experience. Like we bought a private tour. Boat was nice same as a crew. One of the best snorkel we ever done. Water was unreal, saw a lot of turtles. Thank you Estevan and Ryan for taking 4 of us and not canceling this perfect day!!!
Amazing tour!

Ryan and Estevan were fabulous! They guided us towards the least busy areas so we could enjoy the best experience. They were friendly and fun and we could not have had a better time! The boat was very comfortable, the other passengers were also friendly and the waters were clear and the turtles and fish were stunning! Recommend them 100%!
Best Snorkeling in Maui
Yuki_W, Nov 2024
The staff was incredible, they checked in on how we were doing at each snorkel site and had plenty of information to share about the sights and animals around Maui. The tour size was small which made it feel like a very relaxed and personal experience. I highly recommend going with them over the larger ships/groups for sure 👍
Did not happen
Lloyd_O, Nov 2024
This tour was canceled due to cruise ship leaving the port earlier, the tour company gave us credit but we did not receive the credit because it is Viator that needs to issue the credit
Maui turtle excursion
Debra_C, Nov 2024
Exploring the various Maui sea waters and reefs with an abundance of coral fish, turtle and wildlife on an easy riding and fast cruising boat. The crew was awesome and the beverage and lunch was perfectly timed and refreshing.
This is your sign to BOOK THIS NOW and don’t miss out!!!!!!
Tasha_J, Oct 2024
This was the BEST experience I had the entire time staying in MAUI! If I would have known about this earlier I would have booked multiple times it was that fun! I went solo and everyone was so kind and friendly! We had Brad whom was just an amazing and down to earth guy, very knowledgeable and fun! We also had Estiban who looked like a hott version of prince Harry who was awesome and very knowledgeable about the reef. The staff genuinely cared about you and your well being and most of all I felt SAFE!! They took the time to answer all of your questions, the booking was easy, it was definitely worth the price the only thing I am upset about is that it wasn’t longer!
Amazing
Keziah_T, Oct 2024
