5.00Great experience! Even though we were not able to snorkel in the Crater due to choppy waters, our Capt (Estabam) and deckhands, Sydney and Dani, made the best of it and took us to two other great destinations! We saw sea turtles, lots of amazing coral and fish-- great day!
Once in a lifetime adventure

5.00My daughter and I had an excellent snorkeling trip with Maui Reef Adventures. The boat got us to our snorkeling destinations quickly. The breakfast and lunch were very much appreciated. The staff was always asking if we needed anything. We saw turtles right away and enjoyed swimming with them and observing them. Snorkeling at the crater was great too! This was an excellent experience and I would recommend this company highly! Having fewer people on the trip was nice. There were other groups going out with well over 100!
A fun memorable experience
