Ultimate snorkel

Sam, Kenzie. and Jill were awesome guides. They took us to a pristine spot by Lanai. The water was crystal clear. We saw a lot of beautiful fish. The dolphins weren't cooperating but we did see a lot of sea turtles. I will do it again next time I come to Maui.

Disappointed

We signed up for a four hour snorkeling tour and weren't even out in the ocean for 2 hours. I do understand there were no fish or dolphins out due to hurricane Nolo but they could have just taken us to a cove to experience snorkling. Even when they stopped the boat and people were getting out to swim in the ocean it felt very rushed with them saying only 5 minutes only a couple of minutes left. I think we stopped for a whopping 20 minutes just enough time to eat our snacks 10 minutes in the water and back to the harbor. They rode us to the north shore into two coves and back. To their credit they were in constant contact trying to find something for us to look at. Our tour was supposed to start at 9 we didn't get out to the boat till 10 and was back by 1130. Jill and Alexis were nice but if there was nothing to look at and no snorkling experience to be had they should have just canceled and refunded us our money.

Worth it

We really enjoyed our guides Lexie and Jill. They are fun but serious about safety. The boat ride on a choppy day was so very smooth. They took us to a great location with lots of fish and coral. We didn't see any dolphins or turtles but not for lack of trying. Conditions weren't ideal. Breakfast was good and drinks were cold. It's a small boat and wasn't full so we had plenty of space. The 4 hour tour was worth the cost even though we only got to snorkel at 1 location due to low visibility.

Excellent snorkel trip!

Jill and Lexi were amazing hosts and guides. We loved our time with them. Very knowledgeable and lots of wildlife. Weather was extremely windy but they still found us great spots to snorkel.
