The crew was amazing! Captain Kevin, Jess, James, and Bryce were helpful, fun, and engaging. We found a ginormous pod of dolphins and even saw the last of the whales. Do this trip!!!

Absolutely amazing time sailing the Pacific, whale watching, dolphin chasing, and snorkeling. The staff was incredibly kind, helpful and wonderful in every way. The food on board was world class, literally best muffins I've ever eaten! The boat was not overcrowded and the atmosphere was always upbeat and fun. Great for families of all ages although probably best for kids over 10 as the snorkeling is a little intensive. We were out for over 5 hours. What a deal for the price!

Our Sail Maui crew was so helpful and friendly. We went to Lanai first and then near Baby Beach on Maui to see turtles. We were so lucky with only 8 people on our trip! This company really wants you to have a great time. We saw lots of whales close up, especially a mother and her baby. We highly recommended this tour company.

Great experience with Sail Maui the captain Geoffroy and his crew made me feel comfortable and safe. This was my first time snorkeling and they were very supportive and helpful when it came to making me feel safe and comfortable. Great vibes, lots of wales, and the crew is very knowledgeable of not only their environment but their boat. Will definitely book again.

The only thing in my opinion was that the boat was a bit over crowed. Yes, it was a big boat, but still felt crowed when trying to moved around. Other than that...it was a great experience! The crew was great, helpful, and so very kind! The snorkeling was good. I felt good once I got my self calmed down. One of the crew members were out in the waters on a board watching as a life guard. Very cool to see. I've been snorkeling others places and not have that. The food they served was very good and tasty. Met new friends on the boat as well. It was a fantastic experience and enjoyed it very much. Many thanks to the crew for your dedication and attentive to your guest! We had a great time and enjoyed the snorkeling and loved the whales!
