Great afternoon family snorkel trip - The boat was very comfortable and the crew professional. We all enjoyed the lunch and drinks. The fish were in attendance at the snorkel stop and a Hawaii fish id card is helpful. Easy in and out of the water. We saw a turtle, butterflyfish, triggerfish, tang, wrasse, trumpetfish, needlefish and coronet fish. The kids were ready to go again the next day.

Turtles! - Fantastic afternoon on the boat! The staff was great, really attentive, and they knew just where to go to see the turtles. We saw about 6 or 7 turtles while snorkeling! If you have any food allergies, just bring your own snacks. There’s food included but most of it had gluten.

Great cruise, Great fun! - Captain James, Lainey, and Travis were the perfect hosts on board the Sea Maui II. We learned about the islands, sea life, and living in the area. The food and service were very good. Could not have asked for a better afternoon on the water.

An afternoon snorkle - This trip was a lot of fun! The crew were super friendly and helpful and the food very yummy. It was just enough time to enjoy swimming along the reef, with the fishes and turtles. If you choose this activity bring a sweatshirt or light sweater as it's easy to get chilly out on the water and with Maui's wind.

Cruise, Snorkel, and Relax - The crew is what made this snorkel cruise. They were on top of everything, from explaining what to expect, attending to everyone on board, and really doing their best to make sure everyone enjoyed the experience. My husband and I have gone on many catamaran snorkeling cruises, including Maui, and this was one of the best yet. The catamaran was not overly crowded, so there was plenty of room to move about. The snorkeling was awesome with plenty of coral to see, a variety of fish, and of course the turtles. The trip included a full bar and great food....more then we expected...so a pleasant surprise. Will definitely go with Sea Maui on our next trip to Maui. Mahalo

Pick this one, you will be over the moon happy with it. - After doing these snorkeling adventures all over the planet? St least 50 times, I would give all members of this crew 5 stars
They run a fine oiled machine, all were spot on and did a stellar job.
The food was amazing and so were the drinks.
And they kept all the drinks coming, right up until we docked.
The only issue we had was with the free parking, the attendant handed me back the same ticket I gave her, so it did cost $8 to park, but we had such a great time, it was not a big deal
Also we came in contact with the largest sea turtle I’ve ever seen!
Pork sliders seasoned perfectly !
A great time was had by all, and they do this 3 times a day.

Unprofessional Captain - The boat was nice with good food and plenty of free drinks. The downside was the captain who used profanity several times and allowed young female passengers to drive the boat when he went to the head. Two out of three crew members were professional, but we’ll choose another company next time
