You won’t regret it - The boat was beautiful! The crew was so hospitable. And honestly, the food was better than most of the restaurants that we’ve been to on Maui. Of course snorkeling was amazing and I really liked the professional photographer for memories that we can keep forever. This was truly an awesome experience!

Ok - It was a great excursion. I just didn’t feel like it was a happy crew when we first got there the captain was a little grumpy from the get go which I feel makes the rest of the crew kinda on edge like I said the excursion was great, but the staff wasn’t feeling happy vibes. Unfortunately it starts from the top! The only talkative happy was the 1st mate she tried her hardest to get through the tense staff!

Would not do again - The trip out to the snorkeling spot was nice. We rode on the nets, had an open bar. Once at the snorkeling spot it took forever for everyone to get in the water. We waited 25+ minutes roasting in the sun waiting in line to get in due to the number of people before my 7 year old chickened out. They had mentioned sharks and turtles as things we could see so she used sharks as an excuse not to go. We picked this tour because of the reviews stating that they were good with kids. This was not the case at all with us that day. Basically the captain told her there weren’t sharks after had announcing we might see reef sharks earlier but in a dismissive tone with nothing else said. By the time we got close to being the next to get in the water, people were already coming back and up both ladders so again we had to wait. Staff were cordial enough but no warm friendly vibes. Ride back was a white caps and rough which made sitting outside impossible but seats inside were cramped. We didn’t see a single creature (fish, turtles or whale).
