We’ve been doing the full day snorkel trip with Hawaii ocean rafting for years. We were disappointed that a few months before our full day snorkel trip to learn that it had been changed to a half day snorkel and whale watching tour as they’ve changed management. Despite the change we still enjoyed our time on the trip. Tons of whales! Limited snorkeling (only one stop) but worth it for the whales. Hoping they bring back the full day snorkel soon!
I went to several snorkeling/watching tours in Maui (5 or so). It is only to the end of my week-long trip in Maui that I realized this one is the best, plus it’s the cheapest (~130 vs ~200 in many other tours I attended). I think it is absolutely under-rated. In short, I was able to see: - tons of coral/reef/fish in first snorkeling spot - 20 something turtles in second spot - an entire pack, maybe hundreds of, dolphins during the way from first to second spot
Jill and Ken were amazing! Had a fantastic time and took us to places they knew had better viewing of sea-life with their experience. Very novice-friendly and entertaining. Additionally, their banana cakes were a nice addition at the end.
The captain and first mate were experienced and made me feel safe right away. The snorkeling was amazing!!! So many gorgeous fish, coral reefs. It was meditative and awe inspiring. On the second snorkel we swam with turtles. Literally swam WITH them. I’ve never seen a sea turtle so close up — I could see the intricate patterns on their skin. And we happened upon a superpod of dolphins. We saw sooooo many dolphins swimming together. It was amazing. Got great videos. And the banana bread with lilikoi cream cheese was delicious!!! Fabulous trip.
The crew (Darrell and Paul) were excellent and did everything they could to make it a memorable trip! The dolphin experience was amazing (they performed beautifully!) and the snorkeling at Shark's Fin Rock was magical. Our family did a private charter on the Zodiac, which I would highly advise for a family or friends group. The 4 hour charger is not long enough to go to two spots, so we had to extend it to 5, but 4.5 would have been enough, which was the only down side. Should just have included a 4.5 hr option. New owners so many changes, but Toni was very accommodating and pleasant to work with.
