Experience of a lifetime! - This was such an amazing experience! My teenager and I were nervous as we hadn’t snorkeled before but Seth and the team were fantastic. We felt secure in the ocean and loved how the scooters did all the work and all we had to do was float and explore the ocean life. We were lucky enough to see a monk seal, along with lots of turtles and fish. We wish we had time to do it again before our trip ends! Can’t wait to come back again. Worth every penny!

Thank you Mark @ My Splash LLC - Never snorkeled before… had a few nerves! As soon as we met the instructor Mark, all those wirrries went out the window! Within a few minutes we were all geared up and ready to start having fun!! Saw fish of all colors and sizes, puffer fish, baby shark, and so so so many sea turtles!! The scooters do almost all the work for you so you can focus on enjoying the sights, and Mark made sure to point out all the cool things to look at as we swam. Would recommend to ANYONE with basic swim skills and an interest in clear water with a magical world of wild life to discover!

Amazing trip and guide! - This was the most amazing snorkel trip! Our guide Marc was so helpful and gave us lots of interesting facts about the undersea wildlife. Definitely get the video. We took underwater cameras, but it wasn’t easy to use them while maneuvering the scooter. We loved the scooter! Mahalo Marc!

Couldn’t ask for more - My 16 year old daughter, 10 year old son and myself had an amazing time on this tour. We saw a couple dozen turtles, unicorn fish, a white tip reef shark(not a threat, was just chilling at the bottom) and tons of other aquatic life. Our leader Marc was the best. He was not only a great instructor for the snorkeling aspect and running the scooters, but was extremely knowledgeable about the marine life and ecosystem. He took the extra time to show us star fish and point out different types of fish. If we make it back to Maui, we will definitely do the trip again. Thanks again Marc for helping make my children and my vacation memorable.

Amazing experience - Our instructor was so sweet and so patient. My partner is deaf and he took all the steps to make him feel comfortable and make sure he understood all the instructions given. He was professional, really enthusiastically told us about all the fish we were seeing. He was informative and kind and we had an incredible life changing experience. Thank you so much mark!!

Love the turtles! - Incredible! My favourite were the turtles, there were sooo many! Saw reef sharks, an octopus and huge variety of fish. Enjoyed this tour more than Molikini. Sea scooters were so easy to use and let you get around reef without tiring yourself out. Marc was super knowledgeable and accommodating and chill. If your nervous do the non swimmer tour first.

A must do in Maui! - What an amazing experience! Scott and his team provide everything you need and show you how to snorkel, so no experience required. The sea scooters made it so easy to get around in the water. Great communication, and I was even contacted to move my time from 12 noon to 10 a.m. so I’d have the best experience. We saw so many sea turtles!

What a BLAST!! Can't wait to go AGAIN!!! - This was SO much fun!! The guides, sea scooters and views were all amazing!! We saw lots of turtles, cool fish and had an overall great time in the water! Dave and Allie were great and made us all feel comfortable from the very start. The Sea Scooters were awesome and were so much fun to use! We go to Maui a lot and this will be on our list moving forward! I have never snorkeled before and after 2 mins in the water I was good to go and felt very calm and relaxed with the Dave and Allie by my side. THIS IS A MUST DO!!

Time flies when you're having fun - Dave and Juliano made this experience comfortable and breath-taking. My family members all felt encouraged to do what was within our comfort levels in the water and Dave accommodated everyone to ensure they got the most out of our adventure. Juliano felt like he was everywhere in the water, capturing all of the amazing moments we were experiencing for us to share later. In regards to the sea scooters, they were easy to use and made gliding through the water a breeze, letting us focus more on the seeing all of the aquatic wildlife. I recommend going early in the morning to avoid other people and boats. The water was incredibly clear and we saw so many turtles! An hour and half felt like 15 minutes with how much fun we had. Would 100% recommend doing this again through them.

Unique Snorkeling Experience - When I first saw a promo for underwater scooters, I immediately wanted to try one out. I’m an experienced snorkeler over 70, and was excited about the prospect of being able to cover more water and feel comfortable navigating the tight underwater spaces from both natural and manmade obstacles. I signed up for the My Splash Snorkeling adventure and was not disappointed. The adventure was billed as a 1-hour experience, which I thought would work out to 30-40 minutes using the scooters. However, Scott gave us a full hour on the scooters. Scott runs a first-class operation. He provides snorkeling gear (or bring your own) and an introduction to snorkeling for newbies. Flotations aids were offered to those interested. Once in the water, he led us through the man-made reef from the old collapsed wharf at the north end of Lahaina, and then out to the open ocean. I have never seen so many turtles combined in any other week of snorkeling. The trip's highlight was leading us to the resting place of many white-tip reef sharks. These nocturnal sharks could be clearly seen resting under the debris of the collapsed wharf. The one concern I had before the trip is if the noise of the scooters would affect the behavior of the sea life. Fortunately, they all seemed oblivious to our group of snorkelers using scooters. I highly recommend this adventure.
