I'd leave ten stars if I could! My experience with Maui Snorkeling was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we boarded at the Harbor, Captain Greg and his outstanding crew made us feel completely at ease. Their professionalism, warmth, and enthusiasm created an atmosphere that was both safe and genuinely fun throughout the entire journey.
The boat ride itself was stunning. The panoramic views of the coastline, and the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation gave me a sense of awe. The snorkeling spots we visited were breathtaking, filled with vibrant coral gardens and an incredible variety of marine life. The crew provided expert guidance, making even first-time snorkelers feel comfortable and confident in the water. The waterslide was a highlight for everyone on board!
A special mention goes to the delicious onboard meal, thoughtfully prepared and perfectly accommodating to my gluten-free diet. It’s rare to find such attention to detail on an excursion, and it made the experience feel even more personal.
To top it all off, the beautiful photos captured by @sarahseastories have allowed me to relive the magic of the day long after returning to shore. And don't forget to pick up a hat and a t-shirt! The merch is gorgeous. My children and I have worn our hats and shirts over and over again since returning from vacation.
I wholeheartedly recommend Maui Snorkeling, whether you’re a seasoned snorkeler or a first-timer, this experience will leave you with unforgettable memories of Hawaii’s underwater paradise. 🌺

As we arrived at the Harbor I noticed Maui Snorkeling wasn't the only company taking guests out. There we several different companies. Maui Snorkeling should be the only one! Captin Greg was entertaining, Erica and Chasten were friendly and patient with ALL the guests. Captin Greg's timing to each location made us feel like we were the only folks in the water. My son throughly enjoyed the waterslide again other boats featured a warerslide but the inflatable version hats off the only one worth it. If you are supporter of small businesses this is one to support. The other ships were larger more crowded and I'm sure more commercial. Don't miss this opportunity when you come to the island of Maui.
We very much enjoyed our snorkeling trip with Maui Snorkeling and the fantastic crew. Greg was a wonderful captain that brought laughs and enjoyment throughout the entire trip. Emily was super sweet and helpful and Shayton (I don't know how to write his name lol) was great as well. We highly recommend doing the snorkel trip to Molokini and turtle town with them! It was a great part of our celebration of our engagement 🙂
We had such a wonderful experience. The crew was extremely kind and professional, and I always felt safe knowing there was someone on a paddleboard watching over us in the water, while others stayed attentive on the boat.
The food was good, and I really liked the way the tour was organized… stopping at Turtle Town first and then Molokini meant we avoided the larger crowds from other tours and got to enjoy a much more peaceful experience. We saw dolphins on the way and stopped to stare them.
There was also a fantastic photographer on board who captured beautiful moments. The boat itself was big, clean, and fun, even with a waterslide! They had good gear available and gave a short snorkeling lesson beforehand, which made me feel secure and confident in the water.
Molokini and Turtle Town are truly spectacular places, and this trip was absolutely worth it.

We had a great time on our Maui snorkeling trip overall. Captain Jamie was professional, experienced, and made us feel safe on the ship. Everything ran smoothly from start to finish, and we were able to see some incredible fish in the water. The slide at the end was also a fun bonus!
That said, there were a couple of aspects that could have been better. The female crew members were wearing very minimal string bikinis while walking around the ship, which felt inappropriate given the number of families and couples aboard. Since they were working, I would have expected more professional swimwear, and it came across as awkward in that setting.
We were also looking forward to seeing turtles, especially since the website mentioned “turtle town.” When I asked one of the crew members about it, she explained that “turtle town” is more of a marketing phrase since all of Maui is considered turtle town. While she did suggest a nearby spot where we might see turtles, it was disappointing to have our expectations set that way, especially with tickets costing $200 per person.
Lastly, the gratuity request at the end felt a little uncomfortable, especially paired with how the crew presented themselves.
All in all, we still enjoyed the trip and appreciated Captain Jamie’s professionalism, but with a few adjustments this could easily be a five-star experience

Wonderful snorkeling tour. Kids loved the slide and jumping off the side of the boat. Saw tons of turtles and fish and the water was so clear. They had the boogie boards with windows for our smallest to enjoy the sea life. Crew was amazing, so nice and helpful. Would recommend this boat tour to anyone looking for a great day on the water in maui. 5 stars all around
We had the best snorkeling trip with Captain Greg & the great crew! I researched several snorkeling companies before I booked with Maui Snorkeling; I chose this company due to the 5-star reviews, 2-stop trip route & provided food. We had the best trip! The crew was friendly & helpful for us first-time snorkels, Captain was super funny, boat was clean & spacious. Can’t wait to come back for another snorkeling trip!
One of the best snorkeling excursions and experiences I’ve been on! Such a great crew who are all friendly, knowledgeable about the area and history, and help you have fun. Not to mention the boat itself is so nice! 10/10 recommend the swimming with the turtles and visiting the Molokini crater if you’re trying to decide which experience is right for you.
We had 9 family members, from ages 9-69, celebrating our twin grandson’s ninth birthday. The crew made sure we all had a great day. We all saw many fish, a turtle and a squid. Then we all enjoyed the slide. One of the best time we’ve ever had as a family. Thank you.
We just returned from an amazing 9 day trip to Maui!
We did the Molokini Crater Snorkeling tour and we were not disappointed.
We did the early morning tour. They served coffee, muffins and yummy pastries. We were also served sandwiches, drinks/sodas/waters for lunch. This is really appreciated! It was really nice not to have to pack and bring these things while on vacation.
The Captain was knowledgeable, personable and had a great sense of humor. He was honest, fair and genuinely concerned that everyone has a great experience. The ladies working on the boat were also friendly, knowledgeable and fun. Their skill on the boat and in the water was quite impressive!
We loved snorkeling in the crater. The water was so calm and clear. We saw many different types of fish and other marine life. They were swimming all around us. On the way to the crater, we even got to see an out of season Whale Mama and her calf! Even our Captain was surprised that she was there. He moved the boat to ensure we all got to see her. It was majestic and beautiful. Our 14 year old son loved jumping off the boat and going down the slide. It was great because everyone cheered for each other on the slide. It was a really great time and perfect day!
The professional photos that were taken were really appreciated! It was well worth the cost to have the gift of these memories captured in such great photos. Our photographer was so sweet and just an overall lovely woman. Her skill for taking underwater pictures was incredible. She even gave us some great suggestions on other places to visit during our vacation.
I highly recommend this excursion!

Hands down the best experience on Maui. 4 hour sunset cruise with snorkeling, dinner, and a visit from a whale! The team-Capt Chris, Danielle, Jake, & Eneysia were beyond amazing. If you’re on Maui, visit the Ocean Spirit and Capt Chris and the crew.
We saw 3 turtles, 2 sharks, hundreds of beautiful fish and a whale! BYOB on board

I've been on a few whale watches with these guys.
BOAT:
It seemed a little old but up-kept. 2-levels of indoor and outdoor seating and easily accessible. The stairs leading from the bottom to upper deck wasn't steep at all. The bow section has a cool stadium-style bench seating of 3 rows which makes great use of space and gives passengers a great view. One restroom started to smell pretty bad by the end of our 2-hour voyage. Not sure if it was the part of a passenger or the boat's system.
STAFF:
Everyone was friendly and professional. However, they should have a naturalist on-board to teach & inform guests of the whales. Instead there was a lot of dead silence and motoring.
OVERALL:
Whale watches are such a hit & miss. I'd suggest listening to the weather forecast a few days ahead, then buy your tickets for a morning sail which generally is calmer than the afternoon.

We had an amazing time with PacWhale Eco Adventures on the Molokini and Turtle Arches snorkel tour! 🐢🌊 The captain and crew were absolutely wonderful—friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to answer all our questions. Their passion for marine life and care for every guest really stood out.
The food was great too—breakfast included croissants, pineapple, banana bread, and orange slices, and lunch was a tasty combo of burgers, salad, and refreshing drinks. Everything was fresh and well-organized.
The snorkeling experience was unforgettable—clear water, beautiful fish, and such a fun time for everyone. They even had a lily pad for kids, which was a huge hit with our 3-year-old! It was perfect for little ones who didn’t want to jump fully into the water but still wanted to play safely. Life jackets and floating supports were also provided, making it stress-free for families.
Overall, this trip was totally worth it—great value, great crew, and an incredible experience. I’d highly recommend it to all families visiting Maui! 🌺🚤🐠

Captain was named Aaron I think. Awesome trip to Molokini. Very professional group of 3 that directed our tour group of 20 snorkelers. They grilled up an amazing dinner for us as well, unexpectedly good for middle of the ocean.
We had an amazing time. The captain and crew were great. Took us to 2 spots and we saw sea turtles. Breakfsst and lunch included. Definitely will book through them again!
It was an amazing experience! The crew were so helpful and nice. Captain Chris made delicious pork sandwiches.
Everyone, literally everyone had so much fun!
Everyone, literally everyone had so much fun!
Went twice this past week, 1 for Molokini Crater and 2 for dolphin watching.
1. Molokini crater was amazing and they got us a time slot that wasn't crowded at all. Super clear water with amazing sea life.
2. We must've seen 150 spinner dolphins and a couple babies!! So so gorgeous and then we still got to do a shallow snorkel at Honolua bay and saw around 10 sea turtles!
For breakfast, it's pretty light, only some bread and fruit. Please bring protein or greens if you want that for breakfast. Lunch was amazing both times, you get your choice of protein alongside regular salad and Mac salad. Plus a cookie at the end 🙂
Employees were all very professional and knew what to do when the weather didn't allow for the normal schedule. Snorkel gear worked pretty much perfect except for my partner's mask which had a crack in it and was very quickly exchanged for a working one by an employee.
Overall amazing experiences and would highly recommend to anyone who wants a great initial snorkeling journey.

3 out of 5 stars
While there were aspects of the experience that were enjoyable, several key areas left much to be desired, which is why I’m giving a 3-star rating.
To begin with, the cost of parking was surprisingly high. For a facility of this kind, I expected parking to be either included or more reasonably priced. The elevated parking fees felt excessive and added unexpected cost to the overall experience, which detracted from the value.
The food was another disappointment. It was very simple, lacking in both flavor and creativity. Given the setting, we were hoping for something more thoughtfully prepared or representative of the local cuisine, but it ultimately felt generic and uninspired.
On a positive note, the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Their customer service was genuine, and they were clearly dedicated to making guests feel comfortable. However, there was a noticeable emphasis on upselling additional services throughout the trip. While we understand the business aspect, the constant sales pitch became a bit much and took away from what should have been a relaxing experience.
Overall, while the staff’s hospitality was appreciated, the elevated parking costs, underwhelming food, and persistent upselling made the experience feel less worthwhile than expected.

One of my favorite parts of my family’s trip! Crew was very knowledgeable and attentive; we got to snorkel with turtles and even seen dolphins on the way back! Food and music was provided and there was even a photographer on board. We had the best time!
We did the sunset constellation cruise and it was absolutely fantastic. Harriet was so fun and we learned so many cool things about our constellations and navigation. The crew was fantastic and provided excellent food and drinks!

We saw 3 turtles, 2 sharks, hundreds of beautiful fish and a whale! BYOB on board

I've been on a few whale watches with these guys.
BOAT:
It seemed a little old but up-kept. 2-levels of indoor and outdoor seating and easily accessible. The stairs leading from the bottom to upper deck wasn't steep at all. The bow section has a cool stadium-style bench seating of 3 rows which makes great use of space and gives passengers a great view. One restroom started to smell pretty bad by the end of our 2-hour voyage. Not sure if it was the part of a passenger or the boat's system.
STAFF:
Everyone was friendly and professional. However, they should have a naturalist on-board to teach & inform guests of the whales. Instead there was a lot of dead silence and motoring.
OVERALL:
Whale watches are such a hit & miss. I'd suggest listening to the weather forecast a few days ahead, then buy your tickets for a morning sail which generally is calmer than the afternoon.

We had an amazing time with PacWhale Eco Adventures on the Molokini and Turtle Arches snorkel tour! 🐢🌊 The captain and crew were absolutely wonderful—friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to answer all our questions. Their passion for marine life and care for every guest really stood out.
The food was great too—breakfast included croissants, pineapple, banana bread, and orange slices, and lunch was a tasty combo of burgers, salad, and refreshing drinks. Everything was fresh and well-organized.
The snorkeling experience was unforgettable—clear water, beautiful fish, and such a fun time for everyone. They even had a lily pad for kids, which was a huge hit with our 3-year-old! It was perfect for little ones who didn’t want to jump fully into the water but still wanted to play safely. Life jackets and floating supports were also provided, making it stress-free for families.
Overall, this trip was totally worth it—great value, great crew, and an incredible experience. I’d highly recommend it to all families visiting Maui! 🌺🚤🐠

Captain was named Aaron I think. Awesome trip to Molokini. Very professional group of 3 that directed our tour group of 20 snorkelers. They grilled up an amazing dinner for us as well, unexpectedly good for middle of the ocean.
We had an amazing time. The captain and crew were great. Took us to 2 spots and we saw sea turtles. Breakfsst and lunch included. Definitely will book through them again!
It was an amazing experience! The crew were so helpful and nice. Captain Chris made delicious pork sandwiches.
Everyone, literally everyone had so much fun!
Everyone, literally everyone had so much fun!
Went twice this past week, 1 for Molokini Crater and 2 for dolphin watching.
1. Molokini crater was amazing and they got us a time slot that wasn't crowded at all. Super clear water with amazing sea life.
2. We must've seen 150 spinner dolphins and a couple babies!! So so gorgeous and then we still got to do a shallow snorkel at Honolua bay and saw around 10 sea turtles!
For breakfast, it's pretty light, only some bread and fruit. Please bring protein or greens if you want that for breakfast. Lunch was amazing both times, you get your choice of protein alongside regular salad and Mac salad. Plus a cookie at the end 🙂
Employees were all very professional and knew what to do when the weather didn't allow for the normal schedule. Snorkel gear worked pretty much perfect except for my partner's mask which had a crack in it and was very quickly exchanged for a working one by an employee.
Overall amazing experiences and would highly recommend to anyone who wants a great initial snorkeling journey.

3 out of 5 stars
While there were aspects of the experience that were enjoyable, several key areas left much to be desired, which is why I’m giving a 3-star rating.
To begin with, the cost of parking was surprisingly high. For a facility of this kind, I expected parking to be either included or more reasonably priced. The elevated parking fees felt excessive and added unexpected cost to the overall experience, which detracted from the value.
The food was another disappointment. It was very simple, lacking in both flavor and creativity. Given the setting, we were hoping for something more thoughtfully prepared or representative of the local cuisine, but it ultimately felt generic and uninspired.
On a positive note, the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Their customer service was genuine, and they were clearly dedicated to making guests feel comfortable. However, there was a noticeable emphasis on upselling additional services throughout the trip. While we understand the business aspect, the constant sales pitch became a bit much and took away from what should have been a relaxing experience.
Overall, while the staff’s hospitality was appreciated, the elevated parking costs, underwhelming food, and persistent upselling made the experience feel less worthwhile than expected.

One of my favorite parts of my family’s trip! Crew was very knowledgeable and attentive; we got to snorkel with turtles and even seen dolphins on the way back! Food and music was provided and there was even a photographer on board. We had the best time!
We did the sunset constellation cruise and it was absolutely fantastic. Harriet was so fun and we learned so many cool things about our constellations and navigation. The crew was fantastic and provided excellent food and drinks!

This was my first, yet not my last, dive w Maui Diamond. The entire crew worked hard so divers had an awesome experience. David was dive master of my group. He made certain questions were answered, concerns addressed and he was very qualified for the job. All staff on dive boat and when I placed calls, were well versed in what to expect, professional, fun, funny and proficient. It was obvious they wanted customers to have a great experience and they enjoyed their sport and job as well. I highly recommend this company and all staff! I will be back next year.
Maui Diamond is the best. You're not just going for a dive, you're joining a team that is going to give you the best diving experience on Maui that is possible. The team is deep, experienced, safe, and fun. The boat is awesome (dolphins not guaranteed), the dive, of course, breath-taking, literally. They provide plenty of air. I can't emphasize enough how great the team made the whole group of customers feel welcome and happy. Can't wait to dive with them again.
First class dive from start to finish! We did a 2 tank dive to Molokini Crater and Nahuna Spine on Maui. Most of the divers were experienced with the exception of a few beginners. David did a great job of comforting the beginner in my group and kept a watchful eye on her making it an awesome experience for her as well. I would definately dive with them again!
Best diving in Maui! Brian was our guide and did a fantastic job! He was very patient and thorough with our gear, making sure we were ready to enjoy the day! Kudos to him and the crew!! My Wiley had 13 dives but Brian made him feel comfortable and was very good with making us see marine lives during both dives!! Highly recommend Maui Diamond 💎!
If ever back, we’d definitely go with them again
If ever back, we’d definitely go with them again
We had the BEST TIME with Maui Diamond! Beautiful first dive at Molokini crater full of life. Loved the pyramid and pennant butterflies on the drop off and our dive guide Dave found the coolest frogfish and a few blue dragon nudibranchs! We also saw a freckled snake eel and a grey reef shark cruised by. Our second dive was a drift dive at red hill and definitely did NOT disappoint. Dave found SO many fun critters for us to see including a dragon moray, jeweled anemone crab, frogfish after frogfish, nudibranchs, sponge crab, devil scorpion fish and of course we were blessed with a huge turtle! If you are on Maui you should DEFINITELY book with Maui Diamond to have a great day with gorgeous dives. Captain Luke was amazing on the helm picking us all up from our drift dive with safety and ease. He was such a badass parking the boat in the wind too! The crew made sure we had plenty of snacks and drinks and also fish ID books on board to identify all the fun sea life we saw! Highly recommend! 10/10!
Maui Diamond was first rate from start to finish!! Captain Luke was amazing at how he operated the vessel! So safe! We had Dave as our dive master. He was SPECTACULAR! He not only found us so many cool things but also took incredible pictures! He was so knowledgeable and helpful! It doesn’t get any better than this!
Fantastic diving with Maui Diamond today! Beautiful day and fantastic conditions off Lanai… Cathedrals 1 and Nob Hill were awesome! Our guide Nick was the best and Beth with the on deck service killed it! We will be back (very soon) for more! Mahalo Maui Diamond! 🤙
Booked a 2 tank dive, Beth was very accommodating with rescheduling due to low numbers. The entire crew was awesome! Ernie was our guide and showed us cool spots and got us into all the fish, sharks and even saw an octopus cruising around.
On our annual trip to Hawaii I try to always include a Lanai dive with Maui Diamond, so by now Ive had 4 or 5 trips with them. This week's trip as usual showed the fun and professional crew that also is thorough in their dive briefings and very clearly safety-focused so the divers feel well cared for and prepared for any conditions present. This time we had Captain Ben and DM Nick, and they and the rest of the crew make a superior, competent team doing their best to provide the best experience to this group of divers they usually have not met before and which have widely varying levels of skill and experience. It's probably like herding cats to them sometimes but they do a wonderful job. A great time was had by all and got to see several endemic and uncommon species spotted by our DM's, like a Bandit Angel, Dragon Wrasse, or the elusive Curious Wormfish 🙂 Bravo to Maui Diamond and their wonderful crew. Hope to see you again!
PS: Here's a suggestion. Perhaps post multi-language signs in big red letters in the Marine head about no paper so those clients who dont know english well and thus miss that pretty crucial detail in the dockside orientation wont disable the head for the entire trip !

Maui Diamond Sea Sports is the only scuba shop you should be diving with when you come to Maui. Getting to dive the cathedrals with them was a bucket list item for me, and I can say that it exceeded my expectations by far. From the professionalism and kindness of the crew, to the incredible wildlife we all got to experience. I can’t wait to come back and dive with you guys again. Thanks for a great trip!

Truly an incredible experience! Matt & Alex made it very enjoyable and they were both so kind and knowledgeable. I love that they take care of the people on board and even have prescription face masks for those of us that need a little more to be able to see.
Today’s trip with Captain Mark and Lucia was fantastic! Everything from boarding to docking surpassed our expectations. They took great care of us. We appreciated the wetsuits and fins to supplement the equipment we brought. We saw so much aquatic life and even got to linger awhile with a huge pod of spinner dolphins. Turtle Town was incredible. There were a lot of people in the area but that didn’t seem to bother the turtles. The four of us have done a lot of snorkeling and diving and rate this one of our best! Thanks for amazing Maui memories.
We had a perfect morning with Captain Matt and Shelby. We saw so many beautiful fish at Molokini. Turtle town was the highlight of our trip. Just get up early and go! I highly recommend it.
Wonderful excursion! Captain and Lyndsay were were friendly and helpful. Leaving early was key- the water was calm and we arrived early allowing some time before the crowds arrived. Water was so warm and great visibility. Tuttle town did not disappoint! Saw several turtles, different sizes swimming right along with you. The sandwiches provided were fresh and tasty. Overall a great experience.
Fantastic crew and super fun time snorkeling! Thank you Captain Matt along with his assistant Lucilia for a trip to the Molokini Volcano crater and to Turtle Town! We loved it!!!
We had such a wonderful time on our Snorkeling trip with Lucia and Jay! It was our kiddos first time snorkeling and being in a boat and they loved it! It was one of the funnest things we did in Kihei and we would highly recommend it to anyone visiting!
Best trip ever!! This is Mom’s first visit to Hawaii and she’s always wanted to explore the ocean! This week that dream came true!! We had an incredible time, tons of fish, tons of turtles and an awesome crew and music!! The lunch was delicious after all the snorkeling! I highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for a memorable and amazing experience!!
Definitely a must. Our crew Matt and Lucia were warm and friendly. We saw small sharks, rays, eels, turtles and a lot of fishes. Snacks and beverages were provided by the crew but we also bring some. Highly recommended!
We had a fantastic experience with Captain Matt and Lucia! They were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and made safety a top priority while ensuring we felt truly valued. The tour started right on time and delivered exactly what was promised. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a fun and memorable day at Molokini Crater and Turtle Town!
My fiance and I had an amazing morning with Matt and Jess! I asked too many questions and they answered them all! Such a knowledgeable staff on fish, turtles and the ocean. Would recommend to anyone in Maui looking for a perfect time on the water. 🚣♂️

This past Saturday, my husband and I went on a sunset cruise with Sail Maui and loved every minute of it. The crew was fantastic! this specific cruise came highly recommended by Dustin. Joey, AJ, and the rest of the team were amazing. We had such a great time, can’t wait for our next cruise with Sail Maui! 🛥
10/10 highly recommend!!

I had an amazing time with Sail Maui heading to Molokini Crater for my birthday. Captain Brandon and the crew, Micah and Jess, were all fantastic. I’ve recently begun sailing and Brandon was more than happy to talk to be about how the catamaran was rigged and some of the differences between sailing a monohull and a cat. The experience at the crater was wonderful for snorkeling, seeing many kinds of fish, coral, and an eel. And we saw spinner dolphins including a very young one just learning how to jump and spin. All in all, it was an awesome journey and I’ll be back to sail with Sail Maui whenever I’m back on the island!
Had the most amazing snorkel trip for my first Hawaiian snorkel with Sail Maui. We were originally scheduled for a late morning snorkel, but due to no one else being registered for that time, we moved to the early morning spot. Captain Brandon, Nainoa, and Micah were wonderful. They made sure we all had a good, safe time. Had plenty of time to be in the water, got breakfast and lunch, and slightly rerouted to see a dolphin, which decided to do a trick for us. 10/10 experience!
Wow! We stayed in Maui a week, and the highlight for all of us was the Sail Maui trip to Molokini. Reserving, getting there, and boarding was very easy. The boats at the next slip were blaring touristy jokes over the loudspeakers, we had a very quiet, chill, Hawaiian vibe crew. Breakfast/coffee on the way out was awesome, lunch was also very well done, with lots of variety and they accommodated our gluten free folks gracefully. The crew was very professional, very calm, very informative, and chill. I have snorkeled Fiji, great barrier reef, Cozumel, southern California, and Molokini snorkeling was outstanding, with the most vibrant coral we have seen in Maui or Kauai. The trip back was very relaxing on the "trampoline" at the front of the catamaran. We felt blessed the entire trip. I highly recommend it!
Ten stars if I could. What a magical day on the water. The weather was perfect and the crew was spectacular. Captain Chase, Dakota, and Joe were fabulous. So helpful, supportive, and such gentleman. AJ was the only female crew at board and she was a rockstar. She absolutely made it that next level experience. We got to sail for a little bit. Saw bottlenose dolphins and even saw a few baby sharks at our Mala stop. After snorkeling you get to sit back and relax with a mai tai or cocktail of your choice if you want. Cannot recommend these guys enough.
Most amazing experience ever!! Got to see dolphins on the way to Molokini. Very relaxing and fun ride there and back with cool Hawaiian music playing for us. The crew was awesome! Brandon, Micah, and Dakota made us all feel welcomed. They were so fun and we were all best friends by the end of the trip! Love the family feel on this boat. Snorkeling was 10/10 so beautiful. Totalllyyyyy recommend. Felt small like going on a tour with friends which we prefer over those big cruise boats packed to the brim with tons of people. Definitely check them out!
Great crew! Thanks to Brandon, Dakota and Micah. Thanks captain for letting me steer the boat 😀 😜
We were even lucky enough to see dolphins 😄.
The boat was spacious enough for the passengers. The food was reasonable.

The most amazing sailing and snorkeling cruise you can find on Maui.
Captain Brandon and his crew, Dakota and Micah were so friendly, welcoming and …fun 🙌
We had a magical time, sailing with dolphins for at least 10mn and then going around Molokini with a grandiose music orchestration and finally a real aquarium while snorkeling. We even saw an octopus 😀
We felt we had the genuine experience with only 22 people on board and a family feel.
Thank you guys 🙏🤗

My family and I had a great time and we highly recommend this trip, this crew and this company. Food was great and we saw so many fish and vibrant coral in bright blue crystal clear water. We will book again when we are back. Mahalo!
I can’t say enough great things about Sail Maui! It was the best sail company by far I’ve sailed with. If I emailed them any questions before the trip they were very quick to respond. It was a smaller boat so there wasn’t as many people compared to the other boats which was nice. The crew was also just incredible. Brandon, Jess, Micah, and Keely did such a great job taking care of us!! Also I didn’t expect it but the food was so good too!!! 10/10 experience. I would highly recommend this!!
