We had a great time in this tour. Totally relaxing and easy cruise and the music was on point!
Snorkeling was awesome and Micah was an awesome guide helping one of our not so willing snorkelers! We saw turtles, all kinds of fish, and even a reef shark.
Great tour, easy going, and fun guides, and highly recommended... Did I mention the luxury boat??!! Wow!
You won't be dissapointed!

Had a great time! My fiance and I booked this for snorkling and whale watching and we ended up being the only people on the boat. We had an absolute blast and were treated like royalty. The crew was super rad and we had a private boat...what else do I need to say?

Cruising aboard the 42' Boston Whaler on a private tour was incredible. Tanner and Ryan were a very skilled team. While snorkeling we saw 6-7 turtles, 1 large monk seal, and numerous whales enjoying their morning. A once in a lifetime tour that was well worth the money.

Captain Kiwi and Captain Ryan were professional, entertaining, and knowledgeable. My husband and I were fortunate to have the beautiful yacht to ourselves. The best Molokini snorkeling ever! Were fortunate to see whales on our return, too.

This experience was the highlight of our trip! Kiwi and Josh were awesome - they made us feel welcome and relaxed. They customize the trip, doing what we want to do - no standard itinerary. We cruised around looking for whales and then hit a couple snorkel spots where we saw tons of fish and numerous turtles. My wife isn't a very comfortable swimmer and Josh guided her while she hung onto a floatie, made it enjoyable for her instead of stressful. The boat is absolutely stunning; so comfortable, fast and luxurious. We would highly recommend this experience to anyone considering it!!

Oh my gosh…highlight of our trip to Maui!! Absolutely killer brand new boat that had 1400 hp and all the comforts you could possibly need. They only take max of 6 people, but there wes only my wife and myself on this trip, so turned into our private snorkeling trip on a perfect weather day.
We found a quiet spot off the black sand beach in Wailea and saw turtles, schools of fish, crabs, urchins, star fish, and creatures we had no idea what they were.
Captain Doug was so laid back and made us feel right at home. First Mate, Vinny, towed my wife, who is not the most confident swimmer, all around the bay making sure she was safe and pointed out all manner of sea life. We got to meet Sandra and Jessica, 2 more of Capt Doug’s absolutely delightful family of staff who hung out and entertained us for the entire trip.
We’ve been coming to Maui for 30 years now, I cannot think of a better activity we have ever done or nicer people. This will be our goto activity going forward on future vacations to Maui.
Aloha Capt Doug and crew. We will be back!!

My family and I had such an amazing time on this small group tour. Josh and Nick made sure we were comfortable on the boat and had everything we needed, from snorkeling equipment to snacks and drinks. As someone who had never snorkeled before, I was a bit nervous, but the friendly and knowledgeable crew made me feel right at ease. Saw so many sea turtles and fish.
This was definitely the highlight of my trip to Maui. Can’t recommend this experience enough!
