Magical snorkeling tour - We recently took a snorkeling tour of Lanai in late August. Captain Emma is an incredibly knowledgeable and experienced captain who gave us a wonderful afternoon. We did a large snorkeling tour last year of Molokini, which was nice but was not nearly as enjoyable as this year. Our group was much smaller about 8 people total. Her group averages 8 to 20. We felt so incredibly safe as she knows nearly every nook and cranny of the area. She brought us to two different locations and the views and wildlife are indescribable. We saw 30 dolphins around us and to describe it as magical would be an understatement. She even told us about a hurricane that was approaching a week later and we were able to adjust our flight time based on it. If you are ever in Maui and are not sure what to do Maui ocean adventures is a great way to spend an afternoon or morning. She took great care of my family (my wife and two kids aged 15 and 13).

Wonderful snorkel trip!!! - This was the most fun snorkel trip we’ve taken.
We saw spinner dolphins and bottle nose dolphins. Snorkeling was amazing. Saw so many turtles we couldn’t keep count.
Emma is an amazing hospitable captain and Val was super knowledgeable and so much fun to listen to all his insight about marine wildlife.
Thank you so much!!!
Make sure you book with Maui Ocean adventures for a great experience!!!

10/10! - Just an overall great experience! Captains Shannon and Lainey were amazing. Kind. Knowledgeable. Funny. Fun. Experienced. We felt like VIPs the whole time. Snorkel spot (lighthouse) was awesome! Banana bread really incredible too. So many Dolphins!! 10/10 would absolutely book again! Our whole family (2 teen boys, wifey and me) loved it. In fact when we saw other boats we almost felt bad for them because we knew their experience wasn’t nearly as great as being on the pink “Macy”. Book Maui Ocean Adventures. You won’t be disappointed.

Incredible snorkel! - Had the most amazing snorkel trip with Captain Emma! I’ve been on countless snorkel trips, and this was one for the books — best experience by far. We made multiple stops, saw beautiful wildlife, and so much more. The intimacy of the allows you to enjoy it that much more!!

Incredible experience! - We had an absolutely phenomenal time on our excursion. We did the same excursion last year and found it to be very enjoyable due to the small group on the very well maintained boat. Captain Emma was conscientious about taking us to places where we would have the best snorkeling and we would be able to see the spinner dolphins. This year we went to two places that were new to us and just as beautiful as the spot where we snorkel last year. Emma found a place with crystal clear water and very favorable currents. We definitely will take this tour again next time we’re in Maui.

Epic snorkeling adventure. - What a great experience our family of four had! With a 9 year old, 6 year old from the minute of seeing Macy (greatest color boat of all time!) we were so excited for the quick hop onto the boat. First remember to kick off your shoes (you will see them at the end.. no need for them when there are flippiddy flops!). Meeting both captains Emma and Allison were super knowledgeable and very fun to explore with. The ride over was great for us talking with them and the other adventurers. Leading us through to some beautiful dolphins who joined our route on a short trip to our first snorkel spot. Allison was back and forth with everyone making sure they were having the best time and whisperer of the dolphins! Emma gave us some great knowledge of our surroundings and both made our family feel very comfortable. Our second stop was epic! Watching them help everyone with their equipment and seeing them in their element diving to moor. Wow! Seeing a waterfall of fish and a black tip reef shark with Maui Ocean Adventures is the best choice my wife researched to find. If you haven’t read about this company, please do. Thank you again!

Great Time with Laney and Levi - We had such a great time. Laney and Levi were so nice and informative about the happenings in the ocean! We had an early whale sighting, swam with a ton of beautiful fish, and about 12 turtles that i counted at one time. Beautiful experience would recommend!

Awesome! Don’t miss out! - We had an amazing morning on the water with Lainey and Levi! Their knowledge of Maui and the marine life was impressive and interesting for our entire extended family (wide range of ages). We thought we were a bit early for whale watching but we were lucky to see a whale within minutes of leaving shore. The snorkel spots were great, we saw a ton of fish, turtles, and sea urchins! We would definitely recommend Maui Ocean Adventures!!
