One of the best tours - We have done several snorkeling tours, and this was one of the best! The eggs, bacon, sausage, and rice for breakfast was very good, and the barbecue chicken, 2 salads and rolls hit the spot for lunch after two snorkeling spots. Most tours only stop once, this one stops twice for a total time of nearly 2 hours. Saw several sea turtles and many varieties of fish. The crew is very friendly and works hard to make everyone happy and welcome. The boat is fairly new and accommodates sun seekers and shade people. Highly recommend!

Snorkeling with Sea Maui - Went on the snorkeling trip with a friend on 9/16. The trip to and from was a perfect time to talk to other passengers. The bay we were snorkeling in was a bit churned up from recent bad weather but we were able to see the sea turtles and beautiful tropical fish. Can’t say anything negative about our trip!!! The snack afterwards was not a snack it was a meal! Asian slaw, pulled pork sandwiches, crispy chicken pieces, and pasta salad along with Mai Tai's and other cold drinks. On the trip back we saw a rainbow shining above the mountains. The captain and crew were fun to talk to and made us feel safe and comfortable. I would recommend this trip.

Wonderful! - An excellent experience. Crew was super cool, knowledgeable, and attentive—while also giving us space to be and enjoy the experience. Meals were simple, but great-and appropriate for being out to sea. Got to snorkel at two locations, motored out to the farthest one first and sailed the final leg in. We got to see lots of different sea creatures including coral, sea urchins, lots different neon fish, a turtle, and dolphins. Lovely day!

Best snorkeling excursion on Maui - This is my second time using SeaMaui for this excursion. It's so easy, comfortable, has great guides and delicious food. We had an all girl crew and they were awesome! Fun, informative, knowledgeable and helpful. The catamaran is very big and we loved the bean bag chairs at the front. Very well equiped for snorkeling and the lunch was so delicious. Hawaiian grilled chicken, pasta salad, rolls, rice and caesar salad. Highly recommend this trip.
