Quality friendly staff and amazing morning - We enjoyed our trip with Sea Maui. Check in and getting on the boat was easy. The crew was kind, friendly, and professional. The boat ride out to the snorkel location was relaxing in the morning sunshine. The snorkel location was large enough for everyone on the boat to spread out and see lots of sea life, including numerous different reef fish species, turtles, and white tipped reef sharks. My son and husband were the last ones back on the boat! One lesson I will share; if you are not staying local and are traveling to catch Sea Maui, leave earlier than Google Maps tells you. We almost missed the boat, and I wish I would have left at least 30 minutes earlier. Admittedly, we don't live in an area with high traffic, so I'm not used to Google maps traffic estimates. We stayed about 20 miles south of the launch location and our Google estimate was a 50-minute drive. But that morning, there was an incident on the crowed roadway, and we lost significant time. A buffer would have made me feel much better, and for the rest of the trip, we made a point of adding more time than what was estimated.

A safe and incredible marine adventure! - Highly recommend! The crew and boat were perfect and the 2.5 hours was just enough time for us. We got to see all sorts of marine life….Fish, lots of turtles, a seal and even a reef shark! Most importantly, we felt safe amongst the adventure.

Awesome snorkel experience! - We had a great time this morning with Sea Maui! We snorkeled and saw sea turtles, sharks, a seahorse, a puffer fish, and more! The staff was awesome, there was an open bar, and a nice 25min boat ride to and from. We would highly suggest it!

My family had an awesome... - My family had an awesome time with Sea Maui on the Express tour! The crew was awesome (Nick, Ben and Kyle), the ride was smooth, and we saw lots of sea turtles up close. It’s very family friendly and my 8 and 10 year old said it’s their favorite thing we have done in Maui! Highly recommend!

Great tour! - Did this in early August. Highly recommend! Saw at least a dozen turtles up close (very close - had to get out of their way a few times) and a zillion fish. Very short boat ride to & from- probably spent an hour or more snorkeling. Crew was very nice and organized and price was reasonable. If you’re considering a snorkeling tour do this one. The sunken warf seemed to be a turtle hang out but sometimes you can have bad luck and not see much on these tours. This one has you back on land at 10:30 so you won’t feel you wasted a day if you don’t see much or get seasick. But, given all the turtles sleeping on and swimming around the warf it’s probably a safe bet that you won’t be disappointed.
