Great day in the water - We did the Molokini Snorkel trip on May 29th and it was fantastic. Sign in was easy, captain and crew were friendly, knowledgeable and fun. We hit 4 stops, saw great sea life, including a bunch of turtles. They had snacks and drinks on-board and we preferred the "Snorkel boat vs. Party Boat with a little snorkeling slipped in" vibe. Highly recommended.

Great small boat trip to Molokini and other snorkel spots - Went for the 4.5 hr Molokini snorkel with Captain Jen and crew Alex. We’re staying in Kanapaali but it was absolutely worth the 50 minute drive to Kihei to go out with Maui Snorkel Charters. You have to be comfortable in a smaller boat, and there’s no head, but if you are looking for access to great snorkeling and Molokini (and not a crowd of people on your boat and in the water with you) this is it. 1- free parking and easy to find them in the boat launch lot. Alex had coffee and banana bread for us as we waited (briefly) for the whole group to show. 2- we got out on the water FAST. I’m impatient and hate having to wait for people, so really appreciated how quickly (but safely) Captain Jen got us out of the harbor. 3- we reached Molokini early - only the second boat there! We had the inside crater nearly to ourselves (our boat was 13 total) for the first hour. I really appreciated this when we left Molokini as other boats were arriving with large crowds - we got to enjoy it almost privately with our small group and were leaving before they even got in the water 4- because of the smaller size of the craft, Captain Jen was able to get us to the crater quickly (again before the big tourist catamarans with 30-50 people on board) AND take us to the outer rim - super deep and where the pelagics hang. We didn’t see them this am, but still a great snorkel to swim in that deep blue, clear water 5- the crew hit pay dirt when they took us to a turtle cleaning station. We’ve been coming to the Hawaiian islands for decades (working part time on the Big Island) and never seen so many turtles just chillin’ for a cleaning. Mahalo Jen and Alex! Thanks for making our first day back in Maui memorable. The Big Island will always hold our hearts because we know the special places, but you’ve convinced us that Maui is just as wonderful by sharing your special spots with us on the tour.

Maui Snorkel GUYS - The guys/guides were fun and was keen to making sure we had an awesome snorkel experience, hit many sites before the crowds, and gave us snacks!

Best snorkel ever - Incredible, we are still talking about it! Two seniors and three young adults- all had a great experience . The Captains were reassuring with a ‘you can do this attitude’. We are so glad we went with this charter! When we left Molikini after a long snorkel we saw the big boats with the crowds come in. I never imagined snorkeling the BACK side. Then back on around to the barely submerged reef- that is what impressed us the most…. Oh, and Turtle town….one can never see too many turtles. The Captains patience and positivity with everyone was outstanding. And it was great not to be crowded. The boat was safe and maneuvered well. We will back next year on this charter

Unforgettable Snorkel Trip with the Best Crew! - We had an incredible time with Maui Snorkel Charters! Alex and Jen were absolutely awesome—funny, energetic, and really made the trip special. Their energy and humor kept everyone smiling, and they created such a fun and welcoming vibe from start to finish. The snorkel sites were stunning—amazing clarity, vibrant reefs, and a great variety of marine life. We were lucky to see eels, an octopus, and several turtles, which were definitely the highlight for our family. The little touches really stood out too—delicious snacks on board, and when my kids couldn’t stop raving about the banana bread, they even packed some extras for us to take home. We’ve done several snorkel trips before, but this one stands out as one of the most memorable. Highly recommend!

Book it! - We’ve been to Maui 3 times but haven’t done anything like this. To get to go to numerous places to snorkel was amazing. We saw eel, turtles, fish galore and even a baby shark! Jen and Alex were awesome hosts and the whole process was fabulous. Highly recommend!

Snorkeling adventure - This was a great trip. Captains Jen and Alex were great- informative, excited, and really cared about making this a great outing. We snorkeled in 3 great spots around Molikini and the two other spots. We saw lots of fish and turtles and even a couple of octopi. Would recommend to everyone.
