We had the ultimate experience! Captain Greg and all the crew we absolutely amazing! 20/10. They made sure we got to all the good spots all while maintaining safety and the most important, fun and amazing snorkeling! Wow, the sites were amazing. We saw Sea Turtles, reef sharks and all sorts of marine life including the reef! Highly recommend!!

Was doubting my life choices when the alarm went off at Oādark thirty/0500 hrs on vacation. Booked our trip for March 31 hoping the wind would be gone but no such luck. But we bundled up and headed to the marina anyways.
Found reasonably priced parking right by the boat slip. The crew was GREAT. Sydnie got us checked in and onboard while Emily and Chayon got everyone outfitted with their gear. The wet suit tops they had for rent were life savers. Capt Greg, aka boat driver guy, had a great sense of humor but took the safety of his crew and guests seriously.
We hoped to go to Molokini crater but Mother Nature wasnāt havenāt it. Capt Greg and crew still got us on two different moorings despite the wind. The second one was protected from the wind and had a good number of turtles to watch as they swam around us while we snorkeled. We even got to see some whales on the way out and before heading back to the marina.
The Lani Kai is a nice size boat very comfortable and great swim platform astern. At the second stop, crew was able to deploy the inflatable slide which the kids and young at heart enjoyed.
I would definitely book again, even if it means getting up at Oādark thirty.

We had an amazing tour to Molokini Crater and turtle town! The captain and crew were very friendly and helpful making sure that people had what they needed on the boat and in the water! They did a great job instructing people on snorkeling safety and etiquette and had nice equipment for everyone! They also did a great job of accommodating a gluten free diet for those with Celiac. The cruise out and back was also smooth sailing with many whale sightings and fun commentary from the captain! We will definitely tour with them again on our next trip to Maui!

Our family of 4 had an awesome day on the water with āBoat Guy Gregā and crew! After reading many reviews of snorkel companies for Molokini we settled on Maui Snorkeling and were so happy we did! Gregās chill demeanour and humour had us quickly relaxed even before boarding and the crew (especially Dani and Sarah) were incredible! We were treated to turtles, beautiful coral and gorgeous fish, dolphins and flying fish swimming alongside our boat and the best part of all were the numerous Humpback Whales (including a mom and babe!!) We purchased the photo package from Sarah (would highly recommend!) which had so many awesome photos of our family and absolutely stunning photos she got in the water of the Humpbacks!! Canāt wait to get home and print off some of our favourites! Our kids had an amazing time, and especially loved the blow up slide! Gregās music choices were awesome, the food was tasty and the whole experience had a fantastic vibe! Stop looking through reviews now and book with Maui Snorkeling-you will not be disappointed!!

The crew was funny, helpful, and knowledgeable about Maui and all of the sea life! The boat was a great size and the food was good for a half day of snorkeling. We saw whales, dolphins, and several sea turtles. We stopped at the sea turtle spot first and we were the only boat there! When we got to Molokini crater, three boats were leaving and only two small ones were left. It wasn't too crowded at all! While we didn't travel with our kids, we noticed how helpful and kind the staff members were with the kids. I was grateful for the endless drinks they had on the boat to stay hydrated. We also loved that a photographer came on the trip. Even though you have to pay extra for the pictures, his rates are very reasonable and he took amazing shots! This was our first activity in Maui and I would highly recommend doing it at the start of your trip. It was worth paying a little more than some other boats to have a smaller crowd, without paying some of the much higher pricing for other small group boats.

Captain Paul and his crew made sure we had a trip we would never forget!!! 10/10 recommend this trip if you have kids. The slide was so fun for them when they tuckered out from snort. We saw whales, heard whales, snorkeled the insanely blue water reef, and went down the slide! Breakfast and lunch was also served!

Our Captain and crew was very welcoming and helpful. We did the afternoon snorkel to coral gardens. Nice protected cove with reef, fish, and turtle. Wet suit rental for $10-$12 was helpful. Gear worked well. The kids loved the slide, big big plus after snorkeling. Lunch is basic but all you need. They added a side trip to see 3 whales playing nearby. Very nice of them to give us this bonus experience. They had nausea meds onboard, which was helpful. They also had an underwater photographer who took pics of everyone and then you can buy a pic or the whole package of your group. $40-$150. These pics will be a fun memory. The captain have a meaningful talk about the recent fire and local impact, and that he appreciates our business and support for his crew. It was a highlight of our trip.

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.

We had a wonderful time. 5-6 hours seems long but itās worth it and time passes very fast. We saw lots of whales and dolphins swim with us. Our captain was generous enough to take us where they could see signs of whales which made us see 8-9 whales all together. Also they have proper equipped gears and trained professionals in work.

The sunset cruise was absolutely amazing! Not only was it beautiful but the staff made the experience 10 times better. Marisa was fantastic and very accommodating. I have a food allergy and they were very careful when serving me. The food was excellent as well as the experience and to top it all off we got to see whales with the season being basically over. Highly recommend!

I work for a 5 star hotel here on Maui. I must give PacWhale a 5 star review. Captain Aaron went out of the way to find the last stragglers of whales this season. This was not on the schedule for the day. First mate Aaron provides amazing, kind customer service. He would do well as a server in a high end restaurant. And Josh was wonderful, graciously educating us about the ecology we were seeing including leading us on a Reef edge drift snorkel along Molokiniās deeper side.
PacWhale goes above and beyond every time! The education they provide, the quality of service, and the quality of food and beverage are full tilt amazing!
I just love you all for what you do each and every adventure.

So cool! We did a Celestial Star gazing with amazing views. We also saw lots of whales ! Harriet was amazing. Boat crew awesome! Boat captain was captaining.
Bring all your questions about the stars listed cause they ask and answer questions. Had pupus, drinks, soda, and stars. Bring a jacket it does cool down at night on the ocean.
Ask questions youāll learn a lot.

A thoroughly wonderful whale watch tour. Knowledgeable guide was easy to listen to and engaging.
Most of the tour was very slow following a ācompetitionā pod of humpbacks blowing and showing fins and an occasional tail. Stopping mid water to lower an underwater microphone to ālisten inā on whale singing ā magical!
Especially appreciate that this tour company is run by a non-profit supporting whale research and protection! Ditto for an excellent gift shop/gathering place for the boat tours.

We went on the 2 hour whale watching trip and it was an incredible experience. The whole crew was so knowledgeable and I learned so much on the trip. We also got very lucky and had 5 humpback whales right next to our boat and going under our boat. I would absolutely recommend to anyone to use this whale watching excursion.

Overall a good experience. You DO NOT need to show up 45 min in advance. Just show up 15 min in advance is enough. Make sure you fill out the waiver online in advance. A short walk to the boat. I chose the largest boat Ocean Voyager because I'm afraid of sea sickness and I'm prone to motion sickness. I did not end up feeling sick at all during the trip. Our naturalist Ash (a young female) was very knowledgeable, articulate, and passionate. She answered our questions with great detail and patience. Other staff members were very helpful too. We saw lots of whale action in February, a high season for whales.

We had a great dinner cruise. Unfortunately we didnāt see any whales, but we had an amazing sunset and the dinner was great! My wife had a shrimp dinner and I got the short rib. The short rib was AMAZING! The chef cooked everything right on the boat with a few gas grills. It was one of the better meals I had that whole week, and we ate pretty well during our vacation. Definitely check it out, and get the short rib.

Such an amazing experience!!!! We saw dozens and dozens of whales. Our guide Griffin and Captain T were absolutely outstanding. The narration was half the fun. There was shade on the boat but the good viewing spots were very sunny so bring sunscreen. It was nice and cool once the boat got going.

We had the best time on our whale watching tour in Maui! The entire experience with PacWhale Eco-Adventures was top-notch.
The staff was so friendly and supportive, but what really stood out was how knowledgeable they were. They didnāt just show us whales; they took the time to educate us about the humpbacks' lives and their environment. We genuinely learned so much while having a blast on the water.
They took great care of everyone on board and made sure the trip was both fun and meaningful. If youāre in Maui, this is a must-do!

We were on a tour off The Pride of America cruise boat and the 6hr tour were well worth the money.
All staff were very friendly and willing to help anyone, regardless of snorkelling ability, and also encouraged people who were quite frightened to have a go.
Our captain, Emily, was very helpful and thoughtful, keeping everyone informed and updating us on what was going on and how long we had in the water.
Breakfast was great. When we arrived, we had banana 🍌 bread, fruit, and croissants 🥐.
Plenty of coffee and drinks on board.
Lunch consisted of grilled chicken, beef, and veggie burgers, where you make your own burger with lettuce, tomato, and onion. They also had macaroni salad and coleslaw with edamame beans, plenty of different sauces and condiments to make your meal just the way you want.

We had a great dinner cruise. Unfortunately we didnāt see any whales, but we had an amazing sunset and the dinner was great! My wife had a shrimp dinner and I got the short rib. The short rib was AMAZING! The chef cooked everything right on the boat with a few gas grills. It was one of the better meals I had that whole week, and we ate pretty well during our vacation. Definitely check it out, and get the short rib.

Such an amazing experience!!!! We saw dozens and dozens of whales. Our guide Griffin and Captain T were absolutely outstanding. The narration was half the fun. There was shade on the boat but the good viewing spots were very sunny so bring sunscreen. It was nice and cool once the boat got going.

We had the best time on our whale watching tour in Maui! The entire experience with PacWhale Eco-Adventures was top-notch.
The staff was so friendly and supportive, but what really stood out was how knowledgeable they were. They didnāt just show us whales; they took the time to educate us about the humpbacks' lives and their environment. We genuinely learned so much while having a blast on the water.
They took great care of everyone on board and made sure the trip was both fun and meaningful. If youāre in Maui, this is a must-do!

We were on a tour off The Pride of America cruise boat and the 6hr tour were well worth the money.
All staff were very friendly and willing to help anyone, regardless of snorkelling ability, and also encouraged people who were quite frightened to have a go.
Our captain, Emily, was very helpful and thoughtful, keeping everyone informed and updating us on what was going on and how long we had in the water.
Breakfast was great. When we arrived, we had banana 🍌 bread, fruit, and croissants 🥐.
Plenty of coffee and drinks on board.
Lunch consisted of grilled chicken, beef, and veggie burgers, where you make your own burger with lettuce, tomato, and onion. They also had macaroni salad and coleslaw with edamame beans, plenty of different sauces and condiments to make your meal just the way you want.

Our family of four had an incredible experience diving off the Maui Diamond, and it exceeded all expectations from start to finish. From the moment we stepped on board, the crew made safety and comfort their top priority without ever making it feel overwhelming. Their professionalism and clear guidance immediately put us at ease, which was especially important for our kids who were on their first large group boat dive.
The boat itself was comfortable and well-maintained, with plenty of space to relax between dives. The crew struck the perfect balance between being attentive and giving everyone room to enjoy the experience at their own pace. You could tell they genuinely cared about making sure every guest felt confident and taken care of.
What really stood out was how educational the trip was. The guides shared fun and educational insights about the marine life, dive sites, and local environment, making each stop a great experience. They were patient, approachable, and great at answering questionsāperfect for both beginners and more experienced divers.
And of course, it was a lot of fun. The atmosphere on the boat was relaxed and welcoming, and the guided dives were unforgettable. We saw tons of turtles, coral, schools of fish, and lots of little critters and always felt supported by our guide Don and the crew.
If youāre looking for a safe, comfortable, and engaging diving experience in Maui that the whole family can enjoy, the Maui Diamond is a fantastic choice. We will be back next year to dive with them again.

The Maui Diamond is an awesome boat, but second to the amazing crew! Captain Ben, Dave, David, Brian, Joe, and Logan are all top notch and gave us the best dive experience in our honeymoon. David was our dive master and he was phenomenal. Not to mention the THIRTY whales we counted who showed off all day! We truly had such a great experience and highly recommend this diving company, vessel, and crew if you want to dive on Maui! This was my second time with them and I will be choosing them again, and again, and again!

Wow
That's the main word that describes this dive outfit. I have been diving for 37 years, I grew up in South Florida and have experienced so many dive companies all over the world. The Maui Diamond Sea Sports staff, equipment, boat and experience is world class. This week was our third year and 6th trip with the Maui Diamond. You get broken into small guided dive groups, provided with detailed dive briefings, as well as all kinds of snack and drinks including delicious homemade banana bread(with or without nuts, they think of everything). Did I mention the price is totally "market", very fair reasonable pricing compared to other dives. The boat is big and extremely comfortable, the staff will set your equipment up if you like and put your personals in a large waterproof bin under your setup, a clean working head, 2 ladders with hot water spray off after dives. Our guide took amazing professional looking photos and air dropped them to us after dives making my GoPro useless lol. If you come at the right time of year the dives are just like a whale watching tour, you see so many whales on the trip to the dive sites
. I will say though we did do the whale watching tour with Maui Diamond and we had done one previous from the same harbor and I could easily say Maui Diamond did a much better job. Two main reasons is the boat is so roomy and not cramped with people and once again the staff is world class, so knowledgable about the area and very funny while keeping that same first class professionalism.
If you want the best diving and whale watching, look no where else, I saw a lot of the other boats out on our dives. They don't come close to the level of the Maui Diamond and its staff.
See you next year Maui Diamond Team, Mahalo

A very professional crew - went out for a 2 tank dive at Molokini Crater and nearby coral reef. The check-in process was easy. Love that we could do our waivers prior to arrival. Rental dive equipment was great. Michelle was our dive instructor; she was very positive, friendly, welcoming and assisted a diver when in need. I felt very comfortable diving with her and the Maui Diamond Crew. They changed out our tanks and kept our gear organized and dry. We were a little chilly and they hooked us up with some reusable heat packs which made us happy and warm. An extra perk was seeing whales on the way in and out of the harbor. Would dive with the Maui Dive crew again - Captain Ben, Michelle, David, & Nick! Would recommend to friends looking for a good diving crew!

I canāt say enough good things about Maui Diamond Diving! This was an exceptional diving experience from start to finish.
The diving itself was incredible, and the boat was top of the lineāspotless, well-maintained, and clearly cared for. The entire team was friendly, knowledgeable, and truly delivered top-notch service. You could tell right away that this is a highly professional operation that knows exactly what theyāre doing.
We dove over two days, completing both boat dives and hitting four fantastic locations, including Lanai Cathedrals, Sharkfin Rock of Lanai, Mala Pier, and another great site based on conditions. Every dive felt thoughtfully planned and expertly executed.
The marine life was unreal. We saw whales, turtles, nudibranchs, rays, sharks, incredible coral formations, and fascinating underwater structuresāplus an abundance of marine life on every single dive. The team clearly knows how to choose the best dive sites based on conditions to maximize the experience.
Iāve been diving all over the world for more than 20 years, and Maui Diamond ranks among the very best dive boats Iāve ever had the pleasure of diving with. Professional crew, excellent equipment, a great boat, and outstanding local knowledge.
If youāre diving in Maui, I highly recommend booking with Maui Dreams. You wonāt be disappointed.

We did the Cathedrals boat dive and it was amazing. The crew was great, the dive was great. It's a little more pricy for the boat dives but honestly worth it between the full service offered, quality of staff, providing lunch/snacks. I would definitely do this dive again and with this company.

We had an awesome time on the Maui Diamond for our two tank dive.
Dave was the perfect guide for our dives at Cathedral One and Sergeant Major. The reefs were alive with black sea turtles, eels, and fish. The swim throughs of the Cathedral were fun and the site was interesting, especially the exit of the caverns. Dave was also kind enough to share his pics of the dive with us.
The boat was well equipped and the mates took great care of our equipment during set up, change over and breakdown.
This was the second time that we dove with this outfit and will definitely not be the last! Thank you Maui Diamond for a great day and see you next year!!

Went on dives for three consecutive days with this group and my family. We have nothing but positive words for the overall experience. We appreciated the generous accommodations and sharp attentiveness to our requests. Our divemasters were quite knowledgeable of the sport and dive sites we visited. The diving itself was fantastic! Some of the best diving Iāve ever done in terms of aquatic life and water quality. Our trips even doubled as whale watching opportunities because of the time of year (January)!! I highly recommend diving with Maui Diamond.

Every time we come to Maui, Maui Diamond is our #1 dive company. Their boat is comfortable and well set up for the number of divers, and having a restroom on board is a big plus.
The dive masters are extremely knowledgeable, and you can truly tell they love what they do. Dave, in particular, makes the dive briefings fun and comical, which really adds to the experience.
They also provide snacks, beverages, and lunch, which is always appreciated. As always, we had a fantastic experience and will definitely dive with them again when we return to Maui.

After 6 boat dives in 3 days I have nothing but positive things to say about Maui Diamond. I have done a moderate amount of diving in many different locations around the world, and I really appreciate Maui Diamond as an experienced diver. 1) they allow each individual to come up on their own air consumption rather than the lowest of the group, allowing up to a 70 min dive. 2) they are a very professional crew with incredible experience in their dive masters who found some incredible sea life. 3) if you dive with the dive masters āDaveā he takes pictures that are far more incredible than my own, and openly shares them (air drop for iPhone users). 4) they have great snacks and a warm shower between dives. 5) they are safe and yet donāt sacrifice the quality of the dive.
Without a doubt, I will look to come back to their crew and dive moreā¦ it was a great experience!!!

What an amazing experience. Captain Matt, and Kyle were informative and entertaining. It was a beautiful trip. We did the Molokini crater and turtle town 3 hour cruise. Worth every dime!! We were informed about endangered species and the bird sanctuary at the crater then off to turtle town. We were fortunate with the weather and were able to encounter several sea turtles. (Keeping a safe distance of course) Yori was amazing with communication and reminders. There were snacks, drinks and sub style sandwiches. The entire experience was just perfect. Highly recommend.

I had such an amazing experience with Makena Coast Charters! I did their Whale Watching tour to Molokini crater. The water was crystal clear and you could see so many different fish. Captain Matt and Lucia were absolutely amazing. Lucia used the hydrophone so we could hear the whales singing! They were surprisingly really loud but it was a beautiful sound, listening to them all sing to each other. She explained so many different things about the whales and how they travel to get to Hawaii, how intelligent they have to be to get all the way there, and how the mother whales teach their babies to explore safely. We saw more than 5 different whales on our way to Molokini and the crew made sure that they stopped and showed us where to look and ensured that everyone was being respectful of each other so that everyone got the opportunity to see and take pictures. I really had such a great time and experience! I highly recommend, it was worth it. AND! They had snacks š

They gave knowledge and caught the whales song for us to hear. They brought us to the best snorkeling spot Monokini crater. The ocean was live and vibrant. We finished the 3 hour tour with a snap and Hawaiian juice as we found serval more whales. They truly made this trip special!

Had an incredible time with Captain Matt and Sarah! We booked the Molokini Snorkel tour which got canceled from the wind and were easily and quickly rebooked for the following morning.
Check in was easy and painless- snorkeling was beyond words beautiful and we found 6/7 whales that were having a great time around our boat for about an hour on the way back, hands down the most incredible experience ever.
Matt and Sarah were very accommodating to all ages in our tour.

Our time on Sail Maui was the best! We did a sail and snorkel at Molokini. We had a smaller group this allowed us to snorkel by Molokiniās shore and by reefs end which was fantastic. We were super lucky and got to see a whole pod of dolphins from only 50 feet away. The whole crew, Brandon, Kenzie, and Jen were polite, energetic, and helpful! Captain Brandon specifically spoke with my husband for a good 20 minutes about all his Road to Hana recommendations, favorite restaurants, and secret surf spots. It was a joy overall!

Great service and excellent experience! We highly recommend Sail Maui over some of the larger boats.
Captain Brandon and the entire crew (Braxton, Megan, and Nate) were terrific. We got to do some sailing both on our way out and again coming back in, along with the snorkeling at Molokini. The conditions were perfect.
Each member of the crew was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. They all seemed to really enjoy their work. Captain Brandon loved sharing his expertise about sailing. You could see the joy on his face.
Each member of the crew had both safety and fun in mind with everything they did. We had a great time!

I joined the Golden Hour Whale Watch tour in Lahaina with this wonderful team, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The catamaran was beautiful, clean, and very comfortable. The crew was friendly, attentive, and genuinely caring throughout the trip.
They shared fascinating facts about the whales, which made the experience even more meaningful. We were fortunate to spot these incredible creatures and felt truly honored to witness them in their natural habitat. The snacks were tasty, the music on board created a great atmosphere, and everything was perfectly organized and on time.
It was an unforgettable experience and a lifelong memory. Highly recommended!

My husband and I enjoyed this excursion very much. The team was nice and welcoming: always trying to provide you with drinks and snacks. As soon as we began to leave the docking station to the open water there were numerous whales already showing a lot of activity. The captain look time to allow us all may chances to see and record these beautiful creatures! Brice was the female team member and she was delightful and always sharing some fun whale information with us all. The boat was clean and very safe!
The only two things I didnāt love about it was 1. Everyone has to remove their shoes. I am not a person who goes without shoes ever due to bad feet issues and 2. I didnāt like that the boat was setting still for about 35 minutes just viewing the open water. I would prefer to be moving and looking for whales. However many others felt this was a relaxing time and seemed to enjoy sitting still for a long period of time.
Even tho there were a couple of little things I didnāt enjoy I would most definitely recommend this team and excursion to anyone going to Maui to see the whales !!!

Captain Brandon was great at navigating the waters and making sure we saw our fair share of whales!
AJ and Joey were awesome at hoisting the sails, making sure we had drinks/food and conversing with each of the passengers! We appreciated them sharing their knowledge of whales and the island of Maui & surrounding islands. The Captain and crew made for such an enjoyable time in and out of the water and making sure our safety came first!
Definitely book your tour with Sail Maui, you wonāt be disappointed! Sure glad we did!
Thanks for the adventure!!
