Can’t go wrong with Sea Maui! - Travis and his crew were awesome and were wonderful hosts. For a half day morning excursion we went to the Honolua reserve and then also to the cliff house bay by the four seasons at Kapalua. Lots of fish and turtles. Good breakfast and lunch too. This is a small family-owned business with only two boats, so very much with supporting. Highly highly recommend!!!

Incredible, don’t miss it. - This was honestly the best thing we did in Maui. The crew was fun and provided excellent service, they were so friendly and fun to be around! The snorkeling was fantastic, we hit 2 spots and they were both great. Just being on the boat was also so fun and relaxing. The food was also really good, one of the best meals we had on Maui. I would have done this experience more than once during our trip if we hadn’t had other plans! It was SO good.

The Wisconsin Crew - Our family of eight absolutely enjoyed this half day trip. We were not 100% sure what to expect. We had a great time. Captain Carrie, Luke and Lainey were friendly, helpful and personable. They provided drinks from the moment we got on the boat and followed up frequently. The breakfast and lunch was really good, much better than I expected. The boat and equipment was first class and the snorkeling locations were great…seeing sea turtles, tons of fish and and great coral reef. On the way back we saw a pod of 20+ dolphins and Captain Carrie maneuvered us in to place for a great viewing experience. All 8 of our family loved this trip.
