A perfect snorkel trip - The whole trip was perfect. The crew was very knowledgeable and helpful. We saw sharks (not the scary ones), dolphins, turtles, urchins, and many fish. Everything was provided to us. We were a couple but this trip also works well for families. Highly recommended all the way!

Great day on the water - so much to see! - We had a great day snorkeling at Oluwala beach and the old Mala dock. So many fish and turtles at Mala. Even an eel and sharks too. On our cruise out we stopped and saw some whales and then on the way back, came across a pod of dolphins too. Crew was very friendly and helpful. Shasta got in the water and lead us on a tour of the reefs.

Best boat experience - if you are confused which tour to book,100% go with this one. one of the best experiences of my life. the crew and team are super amazing, Shasta is one of the most amazing human and guide. It was our first time snorkeling but she made us feel so comfortable and safe the entire time. They know the best spots and take the time to explain small details. Always coming back to these guys.
we couldn’t be more thankful for the experience.

Turtles and whales! - We love snorkeling with smaller groups so this was perfect. The crew were super hosts made sure everyone was happy and had refreshments and good gear. Also very knowledgeable about the whales and other wildlife. We saw an incredible array of sea life including many whales, so many turtles, harmless sharks, spotted eagle rays, dolphins, and even a monk seal. We were able to witness 2 male whales fighting for a female’s attention and a baby whale jumping out of the water. Would definitely do this tour next time in Maui and there were other repeat customers on the boat. I’d recommend booking before trip to make sure you get a spot. Was great for families too there were kids and they had floatation gear available and crew member in water to assist. Outstanding turtle and fish viewing, loved it!!

Turtles and coral gardens - Snorkeling with Shasta was amazing. The water was warm enough that we didn’t need a wet suit. They provide everything you need including the best banana bread. It was an unforgettable experience and I can’t wait to go back! We saw turtles, coral gardens, sharks and fish. We felt safe with the crew the entire time! Shasta is knowledgeable and wants you to see everything so she guides you to see everything really well underwater. We even saw the most spectacular whales coming up to the boat. It was an unforgettable experience.

Outstanding - Experience was outstanding from the minute we got on the boat. Friendly staff from Austin, who I made the reservations with to the people helping lotus on the boat and teach Shasta, the naturalist and Mateo the captain.Shasta was incredible… Taught us so much by snorkeling with us and pointing out different things and explaining what they were. Our captain Mateo was amazing as well. They both gave us so much information about the whale behavior we were seeing right in front of us. Definitely want to take this trip again.
