Great turtle snorkeling! - Amazing experience! The two spots the crew took us to were really unique. We saw dolphins. A blow hole, tons of turtles and a few baby sharks!!! (Don’t worry they are harmless). The guides were amazing and the views were incredible! Highly recommend this tour.

Great tour! - Jill & KC were great guides! The coral and fish on our first stop was beautiful! Seeing dolphins has been on my bucket list and we saw quite a few. It was truly amazing!! Seeing the huge turtles swimming while we were snorkeling was something I’ll never forget. So cool!! Plus they played great music on the boat as we went out to our snorkel spots!

Turtles every where! - Jill and Casey were amazing guides! We went to Lanai first and snorkeled at twin palms. We were the only boat there. Saw the amazing coral reef with many beautiful fish! Also saw a school of spinner dolphins! Our second spot was back at Maui and there we saw many green see turtles and a reef shark! It was a great experience with a small group! Would definitely recommend!

Family fun! - Jill and Casey were amazing! It was a nice small group of people so you didn’t feel over crowded. Our 7 and 10 year old had a blast, they had floatation aides if you need them. Highly recommend!

Amazing snorkeling trip! - Amazing snorkeling trip! We were able to see dolphins, sea turtles and tons of fish. One couple on our boat saw some white-tip reef sharks! Casey and Jill were super friendly! They both helped my husband because he was extremely sea sick! When we come back we will do a tour with them again!

A great snorkeling experience with Jill and Casey - Our snorkeling experience with Jill and Casey was great! They knew the waters near Lanai were cool so they offered a wet suit top for rent ($10). Best $10 we spent. Kept us warmer so we could stay in the water longer. They also gave us tips for using our snorkel gear, and each time we finished snorkeling, they did a head count to make sure everyone was accounted for. We have been on other tours where that was not done! Snacks and drinks were also provided after our first stop at the coral reefs. Jill was searching for dolphins for a while, and eventually found them! So on this trip we saw dolphins from the boat, and turtles under the water. Both Jilly and Casey were knowledgeable about the sea life that we saw, and the history of Lanai, and Maui. Thank you for a great experience! To improve the overall experience, the website should describe where to park, and there should be a sign that indicates the location where everyone should gather while waiting to check in.
