Awesome snorkel cruise! - Our family thoroughly enjoyed our snorkel excursion, and have to say that Kristie and Casey were fabulous hosts! We were able to snorkel off of Lanai,i and even came across a school of dolphins. The crew is very knowledgeable.

Incredible experience - An experience I will forever remember! Emma and Lexi were amazing and taught us a lot. Lexi spotted dolphins and so many were around us. We also swam with turtles which was incredible. Would definitely recommend and would definitely tour again with them if I have the opportunity.

Amazing - Our family had a wonderful experience even if some of us experienced sea sickness. We saw a pod of spinner dolphins, a manta ray, and many fish and turtles. Really enjoyed our guides.

Best experience in Maui - Out of their way to ensure everyone had the best time. From assisting those who were sea sick to taking our 6 yr old over to see the sea turtles. Stopped to watch the pods of Dolphins twice!!! Great ride and just a great experience.

Tons of family fun! - Amazing experience! Loved being on a smaller boat (as opposed to the huge Catamarans all around Maui) as we could be much more nimble in navigating across and back from Lanai. The whole process was super smooth, the staff was incredibly warm and helpful, especially for the 4 kids in our group all under 10, and we had such a great time snorkeling and exploring Lanai. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Maui!

Amazing experience. - Would recommend to anyone. They took us out near lanai and we saw so many dolphins 🐬. Even baby dolphins. We went to 2 snorkeling places, the second one had tons of turtles 🐢. I was super motion sick most of the time, and the guide Casey was so nice and so helpful.
