My two kids, aged 4 and 10 had an incredible experience at the whale watching and snorkeling tour. They were thrilled to get so close to the whales, and the experts ensured our safety while snorkeling. The staffs were friendly and knowledgeable, making the entire experience enjoyable and memorable.

What an amazing crew! Saw some cool and unique locations around Molokini Crater and even took some time to watch some whales even though it's a little early in the season. Definitely worth the money and would highly recommend. Thank you so much, Greg, Dani, Sarah, and Sydney!

The entire tour was amazing! We saw sea turtles, tropical fish, breaching humpback whales(seasonal), and dolphins! The staff were amazing and even got underwater shots of everyone snorkeling or jumping off the boat! Which is nice to have because I never have photos of myself ever!
Thank you for the amazing experience, it will always be in my memory forever and if I ever come back I definitely would book this tour again!

And yes you guys can absolutely post the photos of me of me and tagg me on social media! 🤩

Amazing captain and crew. My family of eight couldn’t say enough great things about how much fun the snorkeling and slide was and how funny and friendly the crew was. They supplied snacks, food and drinks the whole time and the food was perfect for my family and me. Would recommend this to anyone looking for an amazing time.

Emily, Whitney, Paul, Chaynton and David the photographer were so full of Aloha and kindness. Everyone was extremely welcoming, knowledgeable and safe. Fantastic snorkeling spot, great food and drinks. Don’t miss this crew! This is the boat for you and your family. Great for all ages. Highly highly recommend.

Maui Snorkeling Lanikai was honestly one of the best parts of our trip. The crew was awesome from the second we stepped on board — fun, laid-back, and hilarious the whole way through. Greg’s playlist was a total banger (dude should DJ on the side), and Chatin and Danny kept everyone laughing and having a great time. The snorkeling spots were unreal, especially Molokini Crater—crystal-clear water and tons of fish everywhere you looked. Between the crew, the music, and the spots they take you to, this is easily one of the best experiences you can do around Maui. Highly recommend.

It was a fun experience snorkeling with this crew showing us the beautiful reefs and the different fishes. Food was really good with unlimited drinks. The slide was really cool experience. They are super nice and accommodating. Get the morning reservations if you want to experience snorkeling at the crater.

By far my favorite Maui snorkel tour I’ve been on here in Maui! After years of just going whatever the 5 star resorts recommended, I explored on my own stumbling on and reading all of the incredible reviews about Maui Snorkeling and took a chance. Their website, slide, reviews, and overall really reasonable pricing led to us booking our 6 adult party and we couldn’t have loved it more. The crew was a blast to hang out with and we felt cared for and you can tell they love their jobs too. I saw the most that I’ve ever seen at Molokini crater and unlike the standard murky turtle town I’ve been to many times in the past, they took us to a new cove to me where we saw 10+ turtles without much searching. Everyone had a blast on the slide and someone in our group even learned he loved scones after eating some sweets on the breakfast pastry spread. Hands down 15/10 recommend!

Hands down one of the best snorkeling tours I’ve ever done! I have a 2 year old and really wanted to snorkel with turtles and this was the only snorkelling tour that seemed family friendly. The staff, Emily & Whitney, were super helpful! They had a boogie board and helped my son get on it. He had the best time of his life. During the tour we stopped to see some whales and had a great amount of time at both snorkeling locations. This gave my husband and I ample amount of time to take turns. Highly recommend this tour if you’re in Maui! Loved the staff, loved the vibes and loved the tour. Highlight of my trip!!

I'd leave ten stars if I could! My experience with Maui Snorkeling was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we boarded at the Harbor, Captain Greg and his outstanding crew made us feel completely at ease. Their professionalism, warmth, and enthusiasm created an atmosphere that was both safe and genuinely fun throughout the entire journey.

The boat ride itself was stunning. The panoramic views of the coastline, and the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation gave me a sense of awe. The snorkeling spots we visited were breathtaking, filled with vibrant coral gardens and an incredible variety of marine life. The crew provided expert guidance, making even first-time snorkelers feel comfortable and confident in the water. The waterslide was a highlight for everyone on board!

A special mention goes to the delicious onboard meal, thoughtfully prepared and perfectly accommodating to my gluten-free diet. It’s rare to find such attention to detail on an excursion, and it made the experience feel even more personal.

To top it all off, the beautiful photos captured by @sarahseastories have allowed me to relive the magic of the day long after returning to shore. And don't forget to pick up a hat and a t-shirt! The merch is gorgeous. My children and I have worn our hats and shirts over and over again since returning from vacation.

I wholeheartedly recommend Maui Snorkeling, whether you’re a seasoned snorkeler or a first-timer, this experience will leave you with unforgettable memories of Hawaii’s underwater paradise. 🌺

Our large group of nine took the Sunset and Celestial Cruise with Harriet Witt speaking in mid-November and it was one of my favorite things we did on our trip to Maui.

We were lucky to see two whales even though we were told it was early in the season to be seeing them. Due to high winds, they weren't able to take the boat as far away from shore as they usually do, so some there was some impact from the lights at shore on the star gazing experience.

We absolutely loved Harriet's narration! Members of our group ended up laying on our backs at the bow and could really take in what she was sharing. It was such a unique experience and getting to learn from someone like her was an amazing opportunity.

The food was a nice treat but not the reason to go on this cruise.

Hands down the best experience on Maui. 4 hour sunset cruise with snorkeling, dinner, and a visit from a whale! The team-Capt Chris, Danielle, Jake, & Eneysia were beyond amazing. If you’re on Maui, visit the Ocean Spirit and Capt Chris and the crew.

We saw 3 turtles, 2 sharks, hundreds of beautiful fish and a whale! BYOB on board

I've been on a few whale watches with these guys.

BOAT:
It seemed a little old but up-kept. 2-levels of indoor and outdoor seating and easily accessible. The stairs leading from the bottom to upper deck wasn't steep at all. The bow section has a cool stadium-style bench seating of 3 rows which makes great use of space and gives passengers a great view. One restroom started to smell pretty bad by the end of our 2-hour voyage. Not sure if it was the part of a passenger or the boat's system.

STAFF:
Everyone was friendly and professional. However, they should have a naturalist on-board to teach & inform guests of the whales. Instead there was a lot of dead silence and motoring.

OVERALL:
Whale watches are such a hit & miss. I'd suggest listening to the weather forecast a few days ahead, then buy your tickets for a morning sail which generally is calmer than the afternoon.

We had an amazing time with PacWhale Eco Adventures on the Molokini and Turtle Arches snorkel tour! 🐢🌊 The captain and crew were absolutely wonderful—friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to answer all our questions. Their passion for marine life and care for every guest really stood out.

The food was great too—breakfast included croissants, pineapple, banana bread, and orange slices, and lunch was a tasty combo of burgers, salad, and refreshing drinks. Everything was fresh and well-organized.

The snorkeling experience was unforgettable—clear water, beautiful fish, and such a fun time for everyone. They even had a lily pad for kids, which was a huge hit with our 3-year-old! It was perfect for little ones who didn’t want to jump fully into the water but still wanted to play safely. Life jackets and floating supports were also provided, making it stress-free for families.

Overall, this trip was totally worth it—great value, great crew, and an incredible experience. I’d highly recommend it to all families visiting Maui! 🌺🚤🐠

Highly recommend this dive site! The staff were incredibly friendly, professional, and made everyone feel comfortable and safe. The operation is well organized and suitable for all diving levels, from beginners to experienced divers. As an added bonus, we stopped to watch dolphins and whales, which made the trip even more special. I would absolutely dive with them again and recommend them to anyone. The views can’t be beat!

I had a great time diving yesterday on the Maui Diamond. We were supposed to dive Lana’i Cathedrals but we rerouted to Molokini Crater and Red Hill due to wind and conditions. We still had a great day with 2 diverse dives! They were flexible and communicative about the change of plans in the days leading up to the dive.

Our captain was Don and my DM was Dave. Dave did a great job giving dive briefings and keeping us safe underwater and at the surface. He also went above and beyond helping me set up my kit to make sure it was in good shape for both dives.

Both dives were drift dives / live drops, which I was a little surprised by since I’m used to having a mooring line, but the crew handled everything well and safety was emphasized. My group had 4 divers and I know it can be a gamble but we all happened to align pretty perfectly on air consumption and ability.

I found Maui Diamond off a Reddit thread and I’m happy I booked with them. I would definitely come back for future trips!

This was my first, yet not my last, dive w Maui Diamond. The entire crew worked hard so divers had an awesome experience. David was dive master of my group. He made certain questions were answered, concerns addressed and he was very qualified for the job. All staff on dive boat and when I placed calls, were well versed in what to expect, professional, fun, funny and proficient. It was obvious they wanted customers to have a great experience and they enjoyed their sport and job as well. I highly recommend this company and all staff! I will be back next year.

Maui Diamond is the best. You're not just going for a dive, you're joining a team that is going to give you the best diving experience on Maui that is possible. The team is deep, experienced, safe, and fun. The boat is awesome (dolphins not guaranteed), the dive, of course, breath-taking, literally. They provide plenty of air. I can't emphasize enough how great the team made the whole group of customers feel welcome and happy. Can't wait to dive with them again.

First class dive from start to finish! We did a 2 tank dive to Molokini Crater and Nahuna Spine on Maui. Most of the divers were experienced with the exception of a few beginners. David did a great job of comforting the beginner in my group and kept a watchful eye on her making it an awesome experience for her as well. I would definately dive with them again!

Best diving in Maui! Brian was our guide and did a fantastic job! He was very patient and thorough with our gear, making sure we were ready to enjoy the day! Kudos to him and the crew!! My Wiley had 13 dives but Brian made him feel comfortable and was very good with making us see marine lives during both dives!! Highly recommend Maui Diamond 💎!
If ever back, we’d definitely go with them again

We had the BEST TIME with Maui Diamond! Beautiful first dive at Molokini crater full of life. Loved the pyramid and pennant butterflies on the drop off and our dive guide Dave found the coolest frogfish and a few blue dragon nudibranchs! We also saw a freckled snake eel and a grey reef shark cruised by. Our second dive was a drift dive at red hill and definitely did NOT disappoint. Dave found SO many fun critters for us to see including a dragon moray, jeweled anemone crab, frogfish after frogfish, nudibranchs, sponge crab, devil scorpion fish and of course we were blessed with a huge turtle! If you are on Maui you should DEFINITELY book with Maui Diamond to have a great day with gorgeous dives. Captain Luke was amazing on the helm picking us all up from our drift dive with safety and ease. He was such a badass parking the boat in the wind too! The crew made sure we had plenty of snacks and drinks and also fish ID books on board to identify all the fun sea life we saw! Highly recommend! 10/10!

Maui Diamond was first rate from start to finish!! Captain Luke was amazing at how he operated the vessel! So safe! We had Dave as our dive master. He was SPECTACULAR! He not only found us so many cool things but also took incredible pictures! He was so knowledgeable and helpful! It doesn’t get any better than this!

Fantastic diving with Maui Diamond today! Beautiful day and fantastic conditions off Lanai… Cathedrals 1 and Nob Hill were awesome! Our guide Nick was the best and Beth with the on deck service killed it! We will be back (very soon) for more! Mahalo Maui Diamond! 🤙

Booked a 2 tank dive, Beth was very accommodating with rescheduling due to low numbers. The entire crew was awesome! Ernie was our guide and showed us cool spots and got us into all the fish, sharks and even saw an octopus cruising around.

My husband and I had a WONDERFUL charter experience with captain Alex and his fantastic colleague Sarah! They were so knowledgeable about marine life, local culture, and snorkeling in general. This was the best way to start our trip to Maui. We’ll gladly book again!!

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! We saw turtles, fish, reefs and several whales as well. Our amazing crew of Alex and Sarah went out of their way to make this a great experience. Alex would navigate to the best spots and Sarah made sure we were well equipped with gear and snacks. Sarah also took amazing underwater pics and videos that she shared. 100% would recommend!

We had a fantastic time on our snorkeling tour. Sarah and Alex were knowledgeable and entertaining and brought us to the sites and got us in the water in no time. We saw wonderful colorful fish at Molokai crater, and Turtles at our second spot as promised. They were patient and helpful with both experienced and in-experienced snorkelers. On our ride back we came upon 3 whales and spent 15-20 minutes watching them. This was just amazing to see and outside the expected snorkeling experience. Alex and Sarah were not in a hurry to get back and let us observe the whales. It was the best day ever and well worth the price.

What an amazing experience with my husband, two sons and daughter in-law!

Captain Alex and Mermaid Sarah made the perfect team. Sailing us to coral reefs that are home to colorful fish and huge sea turtles.

Captain Alex was the brains with a plethora of information about the local and Mermaid Sarah was the braun anchoring the boat when needed and rescuing anyone in need. 🙂

Absolutely worth the money! As a bonus they alerted us to the two big whales and a baby whale frolicking in the ocean. I will definitely be coming back with more children and grandchildren in the future.

I had a great time with Matt, Lucia and Sarah. They run a smooth operation with a well equipped boat. I went out with them two days in a row, and took my 8 year old on the second trip. He had a blast, and the wetsuit the offered helped keep him warm so he got the most out of the two sessions.

Would definitely recommend their trips. The smaller (but by no means small) boat makes for a more enjoyable time in the water -- some of the larger boats might be cheaper, but you're going to be surrounded by literally hundreds of other people when you all jump in. The smaller group setup makes for more fun in the water.

Captain Matt and Lucia were super fun, thoughtful, conscientious of our safety and comfort and helped our large family have an awesome snorkeling experience! The masks stayed clear in the water and we had plenty of time to swim and relax. Matt and Lucia were particularly helpful and sensitive to a first time snorkeler who needed a little extra TLC. The snacks, juice and music were a bonus! Would for sure book this same tour again.

Today’s trip with Captain Mark and Lucia was fantastic! Everything from boarding to docking surpassed our expectations. They took great care of us. We appreciated the wetsuits and fins to supplement the equipment we brought. We saw so much aquatic life and even got to linger awhile with a huge pod of spinner dolphins. Turtle Town was incredible. There were a lot of people in the area but that didn’t seem to bother the turtles. The four of us have done a lot of snorkeling and diving and rate this one of our best! Thanks for amazing Maui memories.

Wonderful excursion! Captain and Lyndsay were were friendly and helpful. Leaving early was key- the water was calm and we arrived early allowing some time before the crowds arrived. Water was so warm and great visibility. Tuttle town did not disappoint! Saw several turtles, different sizes swimming right along with you. The sandwiches provided were fresh and tasty. Overall a great experience.

We were so pleased either our sunset cruise. The crew showed us whales- a pleasant surprise! The beverages were plentiful, the food was great, and the staff were so attentive. Aside from being a bit difficult to find the correct dock, everything else was even better than expected!

Sail Maui is the absolute best. We have been on numerous trips with these folks and just for the first time, took their sail trip to Lanai. It was incredible, the staff was terrific, good food, drinks and we even swam with two beautiful spotted eagle rays off the Lanai coast during our snorkeling. Whether you swim, snorkel or whale watch, this is an awesome group to spend your time with out in the beautiful Maui waters. Thank you, Sail Maui - Capt Kevin, Dakota and Chester - really appreciate your aloha spirit!!

We had an absolutely amazing family snorkel trip to Molokini with Sail Maui! From the moment we stepped onboard, the crew made us feel welcome—super friendly, upbeat, and great with both kids and adults.

The morning started strong with warm breakfast sandwiches and cinnamon rolls, which instantly won my kids over and set the tone for the day. The snorkeling itself was perfect for all levels. It was the ideal setup for a mixed-ability group.

The atmosphere on board was relaxed, fun, and very family-friendly. And the ride back? Cold beers and Mai Tais for the adults—such a nice touch after a few hours on the water. Truly the perfect way to spend the first half of the day. We pulled back into port right at 12:30, giving us the whole afternoon to enjoy the rest of Maui.

Could not recommend Sail Maui more. We’ll definitely be back on our next trip!

Big Kudos to Cassandra who helped me organize a snorkeling tour that was perfect for my needs. The catamaran was perfect as I prefer smaller group tours. Shout out to Niko who sat with me and my guest and asked us about ourselves, and Captain Brandon who always had a smile on his face, and made a special stop to visit a baby whale in the area. Breakfast was a nice step up from your typical store-bought muffins. What a great day!

This past Saturday, my husband and I went on a sunset cruise with Sail Maui and loved every minute of it. The crew was fantastic! this specific cruise came highly recommended by Dustin. Joey, AJ, and the rest of the team were amazing. We had such a great time, can’t wait for our next cruise with Sail Maui! 🛥

10/10 highly recommend!!

I had an amazing time with Sail Maui heading to Molokini Crater for my birthday. Captain Brandon and the crew, Micah and Jess, were all fantastic. I’ve recently begun sailing and Brandon was more than happy to talk to be about how the catamaran was rigged and some of the differences between sailing a monohull and a cat. The experience at the crater was wonderful for snorkeling, seeing many kinds of fish, coral, and an eel. And we saw spinner dolphins including a very young one just learning how to jump and spin. All in all, it was an awesome journey and I’ll be back to sail with Sail Maui whenever I’m back on the island!

Had the most amazing snorkel trip for my first Hawaiian snorkel with Sail Maui. We were originally scheduled for a late morning snorkel, but due to no one else being registered for that time, we moved to the early morning spot. Captain Brandon, Nainoa, and Micah were wonderful. They made sure we all had a good, safe time. Had plenty of time to be in the water, got breakfast and lunch, and slightly rerouted to see a dolphin, which decided to do a trick for us. 10/10 experience!

Wow! We stayed in Maui a week, and the highlight for all of us was the Sail Maui trip to Molokini. Reserving, getting there, and boarding was very easy. The boats at the next slip were blaring touristy jokes over the loudspeakers, we had a very quiet, chill, Hawaiian vibe crew. Breakfast/coffee on the way out was awesome, lunch was also very well done, with lots of variety and they accommodated our gluten free folks gracefully. The crew was very professional, very calm, very informative, and chill. I have snorkeled Fiji, great barrier reef, Cozumel, southern California, and Molokini snorkeling was outstanding, with the most vibrant coral we have seen in Maui or Kauai. The trip back was very relaxing on the "trampoline" at the front of the catamaran. We felt blessed the entire trip. I highly recommend it!

Ten stars if I could. What a magical day on the water. The weather was perfect and the crew was spectacular. Captain Chase, Dakota, and Joe were fabulous. So helpful, supportive, and such gentleman. AJ was the only female crew at board and she was a rockstar. She absolutely made it that next level experience. We got to sail for a little bit. Saw bottlenose dolphins and even saw a few baby sharks at our Mala stop. After snorkeling you get to sit back and relax with a mai tai or cocktail of your choice if you want. Cannot recommend these guys enough.

Most amazing experience ever!! Got to see dolphins on the way to Molokini. Very relaxing and fun ride there and back with cool Hawaiian music playing for us. The crew was awesome! Brandon, Micah, and Dakota made us all feel welcomed. They were so fun and we were all best friends by the end of the trip! Love the family feel on this boat. Snorkeling was 10/10 so beautiful. Totalllyyyyy recommend. Felt small like going on a tour with friends which we prefer over those big cruise boats packed to the brim with tons of people. Definitely check them out!
