We had a really lovely day with Captain Matt and first mate Shelby. They were helpful with all of our family members from age 80-9. We saw a ton of fish and turtles. I appreciated the shorter day from Kihei rather than a 5-6 hour trip on a bigger boat. My daughter is still taking about the reef shark that we saw!

Great trip! Sarah and Eric were great guides! We saw lots of whales yet spent ample time in the water snorkeling. Sarah met us at the peer while Eric was preparing the boat.

What a fabulous adventure!! The boat was clean and comfortable and the snorkeling incredible!. We even saw 6 whales! Our captain Alex and his helper Sarah are top notch- I would request them when you book. We felt safe and secure from start to finish. Snorkel gear was good quality and they also provided wet suits. They really made the day extra special and so much fun!

Captain Alex and first mate Sarah were amazing. It was a small enough group that everyone got individual attention. They were very knowledgeable in the ocean life and whales. Even though it was not a whale watching tour, Captain Alex would steer the boat in the direction of a whale tail or spout if he saw something cool. The snorkel gear they provided was adequate and comfortable. They also provided wetsuits upon request as well as floatation devices to make for an easier swim. Sarah got in the water and took pictures of everyone on her underwater GoPro. Drinks, snacks and sandwiches were provided, even though it was only a three hour tour. Although we did not see many turtles at the turtle stop, the fishes at molikini crater were unbelievable. Definitely a must do excursion while in Maui.
