Great Day on the Water - Capital Dave and Nico were great hosts. The boat was smaller than most snorkeling boats we have been on and it provided for a great experience. We saw whales dolphins and turtles. Highly recommended.

Good experience - Great day. Saw lots of different fish, though I don't recall seeing a turtle but that's ok. Nice scenery. Fun morning excursion from Kaanapali Beach in northwest Maui. Saw some dolphins. If you have a GoPro but don't know how to free dive, ask Nico or some other staff to record under the water for you a bit. I would say if you like snorkeling, go to Molokini Crater as option #1, then Lanai as #2. I also went to Coral Gardens but I hardly saw any fish so it was pretty boring there.

Fishpalooza! - Captain Dan and Nikko were very professional & personable. They took great care of us. We snorkel in Maui often but Dan took us to two places we had never been. We saw many , many fish, some we hadn’t seen before. They also stopped for dolphins and a breaching whale on the way back.

Great trip! - Our family of 5 went out for the 1/2 day trip to Lanai. Our kids were 16, 22, and 23. We had great weather and calm waters at Lanai fortunately. We stopped at two snorkeling spots on the east side of Lanai and then came back in around 11. We did not see a ton of different fish as compared to the Molokini snorkeling trip we took a few days prior, but we did see more sea turtles there so that was fun! Snacks included donuts, croissants, fruit, chips, and drinks. Crew was friendly. Would definitely do this trip again!

Good value snorkel trip - I am not reviewing the weather since the captain and the company has no control over that, rather the tour itself.
The price was fair, and this tour was not a rip off. The check in process was quick and easy. The boat was comfortable and we did not feel cramped at all. There were plenty of drinks, fruit and pastries for our morning cruise. My only critique is a lack of gluten free options for my celiac child, but we knew that going in.
The first mate was competent and lighthearted. The sea was rough our morning and the wind was really blowing. As a boater myself, I felt safe and comfortable with the captains decisions. We went to two spots, one awesome, the other not so much, but the captain made decisions based on the current conditions. The snorkeling was a little shorter than I would have liked, and we were back to port before the scheduled time, and that’s why I’m giving an overall rating of 4/5, but if I could I’d go 9/10.
However based on everything together, I would gladly book this again.
