The crew also were very friendly and took great care of everyone. We felt very safe in the water, they had two lifeguards stationed out with us at all times. The gear was clean and the optional wetsuits helped us maximize our water time. Food and drinks were also very good! Would highly recommend!”

“Turtle town was first and then Molokini for us. They opened the slide at Molokini. Food was plentiful. They slowed down on the way back for whales. Plenty of waves so some people became sick. See-through raft for littles. Morning tour was laid back with little music and alcohol. We saw several whales. Saw one turtle at Turtle Town.”

Review of a small-group West Maui snorkel boat tour with Honolua Bay, turtles, dolphins, seasonal whales, meals, and attentive guides.

“I’ve snorkeled lots of places over the years including Maui multiple times, and this was my best snorkel day ever! My son thinks he doesn’t love snorkeling but Derrick and Malaki made it fun and he had a great time at both snorkel spots - which were excellent! We learned a ton about the ocean, we saw whales breach, a pod of spinner dolphins, saw a turtle cleaning station, spotted eagle rays, eels, octopus, etc. Derrick learned everyone’s name right off the bat and made sure to point out fish we would have missed on our own, swimming down multiple times to point things out for the group. It really…”
