Fun crew. Great fun for the whole family
Reviewed by: Amy S, 2020/01/01Our large group of nine enjoyed this adventure. Watched the sunrise as we waited for the boat and enjoyed a light snack for breakfast. Costco muffins, juice and coffee. Snorkeling gear was good quality and the staff was very helpful. The crew leader, Jill, was funny.
Saw whales and turtles and fish of course. Great day.

It was a good experience never been snorkeling in the middle of the ocean.
Reviewed by: Eddie, 2019/06/01The people we’re really friendly. They teaches us how to snorkel properly. The only thing that sounded bad was that one of the worker not the captain but the one under him. Was calling a guy names because the was scared to get in the water that’s not rite he was calling him cupcake, fruitcake that’s just bulling to me

Wonderful!
Reviewed by: Susan D, 2019/05/30This was wonderful experience! Captain Ryan and his crew were nothing less than fantastic! Saw hundreds of dolphins (only because of Captain Ryan’s experience), humpback whale and calf and the snorkeling was incredible. The whole crew was very friendly and made us feel at ease! Will definitely book again!

Far exceeded my expectations! Best snorkel trip ever, not just in terms of the sights, but the service was incredible.
Reviewed by: slygirl2, 2018/06/30Exceeded my expectations on all levels. The staff were knowledgeable about history, myths, sea life and safety. Not only did I learn so much on the trip, but I felt safe, well-fed, well-cared for, and had a lot of fun! The service and food were outstanding. I can't recommend this trip highly enough.

Beautiful day
Reviewed by: Vik34, 2017/09/21The captain and crew were exceptional. The snorkeling was awesome, we even got to swim with turtles. We found spinner Dolphins on the way to Lanai that were fun to watch. The BBQ was good, hot dogs and Hamburgers and the morning food was fruit and muffins/donuts. The water was warm and there was lots to see. The boat had a slide that was fun to slide down into the water (optional).

Super trip - cruise and snorkel
Reviewed by: Venky, 2017/08/01The day was spent in a most enjoyable way.
We started on time and went to first snorkeling spot after about one hour cruise. Since we left at 700 am, (early in the morning) they gave us good breakfast. The water is blue and beautiful. We saw some flying fish while sailing which I got amazed. They have wings(?!), come out of water, fly for about three feet above the surface and go into water. It was amazing to see a fish with wings. They clearly flew and not just jump in and out of water.
The captain gave a 5 min lesson on snorkeling 101. It was full of very helpful tips and this greatly helped to snorkel without fear. The gears were provided. By the end of the day I became an expert. This is an example, how useful the people are to help you whatever you need in the trip.
The snorkeling part was very enjoyable and after about one hour, we were allowed to jump into the ocean from the second level of the cruise ship via a slide. That was so cool.
Next we went to a second place and we got to see lots of turtles. Some turtles came to top of water, so you can see them from the boat. We snorkeled and also jumped into water from the second level of cruise via slide for about one hour. It was fun. Lots of foods, drinks were given. We returned by 200 pm. What a day to spend.

Great experience, my parents' highlight of the trip
Reviewed by: Stacie, 2017/07/13We had a great time on this cruise. Everything about it went basically as planned. We went to two different snorkeling spots where we had an hour or a little more to swim around checking out the coral reef and the marine life. In the beginning, they had a little breakfast that included muffins, fruits and different types of juice. After the first snorkeling spot, they made chicken breasts, hot dogs and burgers patties for lunch which were also very good. They didn't have KETCHUP!!! Which was a pretty big bummer, but the food was good and there was plenty of it. They also handed out bags of chips and pretty much everyone was able to get a second bag. The best part about the cruise was the dolphins that we saw. We spent about 20-30 minutes watching a pack of dolphins swim around and with out boat. They got up so close, it was amazing. My nephew and I sat at the front of the boat and actually got yelled at by the captain, but it was definitely worth it because my feet were about 10 feet away from touching the dolphins they were so close. Then at the last snorkeling spot, we got to swim with sea turtles (only noticed one when I was swimming but it did get pretty close), and a 6 foot long shark that was laying underneath the wreckage we were snorkeling above. It was pretty awesome and scary all at the same time. The shark was sleeping (or dead) because it didn't move and there was no danger, but I still didn't want to take my eyes off him! The boat provided the snorkel equipment including the liquid to keep your goggles clear. There is also a slide that goes off the side of the boat which was really fun to go off of! The crew ended the cruise with a free alcoholic beverage for each adult over 21 years old, and it was very tasty and had a lot of alcohol in it! I believe this was well worth the money.

Couldn't have asked for more
Reviewed by: ChrisandEric, 2016/10/07This was so fun. Everyone in my family had a blast. The captain and crew were so friendly and welcoming. The food was outstanding. The snorkeling was great, we saw lots of fish and the reef was beautiful. We hung out with a huge pod of Hawaiian Spinner dolphins and got some great pictures. The kids (and their dad) thought the water slide was awesome. All around best snorkel trip!!! I'd highly recommend. Thank you!

wonderful trip, wonderful food, saw white tip shark, turtles, octopus (thanks to another cruise company) and dolphins
Reviewed by: VerifiedBuyer88, 2016/08/28good food (though I dont advise eating a lot since I had quite some acid reflux snorkeling on a full stomach), good directions on how to use snorkel gears. saw dolphins, they are right below our deck. saw a bunch of turtles and a white tip shark and octopus (the latter two I have to acknowledge the other cruising company's guide, he does these deep dives to compel the shark to come out from hiding and he somehow found this octopus for everybody to see!)

Great Family Activity
Reviewed by: The Arizona Smalls, 2016/07/25My twin 7 year olds and 12 year old daughters, along with my husband and I, absolutely enjoyed our time on the boat. Whereas no dolphins were spotted, the snorkeling was awesome - snorkeled twice! The boat had a slide too that my girls loved going down into the ocean blue. Staff was fun and friendly and the food, both for breakfast and lunch, was perfect for our time onboard. Would highly recommend this cruise and will do it again the next time we are on the island of Maui.

Great cruise, great crew!
Reviewed by: Gassfam, 2016/07/16Our family of 5 (2 adults, 3 kids) had a wonderful experience on Wednesday when we boarded the Kaulana in Lahaina. We were greeted by a friendly and genuinely, "eager-to-please" crew. Many day trips aboard other cruises can be fun and interesting, (we've done a few others, on other visits to Maui,) but for us, it's especially memorable when the people you spend a few hours with are sociable and eager to share their love of these beautiful islands. The captain and his crew were also very conscious of our safety and we felt well-guarded against any possible issues. This was a great day, for a great price, and they delivered on dolphins!

First snorkel- and I'm hooked!
Reviewed by: Mirza Mughal , 2016/04/27I can't swim and was going for my wife. Thank god I went through with it. Off the back the tour was very well organized. 4 crew members including the captain and everyone knew their jobs well and communicated well with us. Very helpful. Very nice breakfast and catamaran sail to lanai island to start with. We saw whales while going to lanai! near lanai we saw a big pod of dolphins. Both times the captain was knowledgeable about steering the boat and showing us the best views. The Dolphins came very close to our boat too! (See attached picture)when we got to the snorkel site- the crew was very empathetic to my lack of swimming skills. They helped me very gently through the entire thing and encouraged me to go into the waters with floats etc. and I'm so glad they did. We snorkeled for an hour at lanai and I had so much fun. After that we sailed back to Lahaina beach while the crew made burgers and we snorkeled at the Lahaina harbor and then ate food. All in all 5 stars to the crew for being on top of everything and at the same time being jovial about it. Definitely recommend taking this day excursion for the views of Maui island and great snorkeling sites. I saw turtles at both sites- and I don't even know how to swim!!

Best Experience Ever!
Reviewed by: Brian, 2015/12/30This was our first time going to Maui with the family and we wanted to choose the activities that would leave a great impact on all of us. And boy did we do the right choice. Doing this activity was the best experience ever! The staff was very friendly and informed us regarding safety issues, then we had our continental breakfast. On our way to the first snorkeling spot we had the chance to see some whales and that was a plus. Once we arrived to the right spot we snorkeled for about 45-55 minutes where we all had a chance to see a baby turtle swimming among us (super cute by the way). After that we continued to our second snorkeling place and it was there where we encountered more turtles and fishes. Being able to see the ocean life from a different perspective is amazing. Once we concluded our snorkeling we went back to the boat and had some delicious burgers and hotdogs BBQed for us by the staff. It was just amazing! I encourage you to do the Maui to Lanai - Dolphin Watch & Snorkel BBQ Lunch Cruise.

I TOTALLY LOVED IT!!!
Reviewed by: ADRIANA, 2015/12/30It was my first time snorkeling and I Totally Loved It!!! Before I booked the activity I was concern because I don't know how to swim but the staff was so friendly and they guided me through the process, which made it super easy and fun for me. They have all the equipment on board and I was able to use a belt that allowed me to float. It was an amazing experience where I was able to watch some whales, turtles and many more marine life. If you are planning a trip to Hawaii snorkeling is a MUST, believe me, you won't be disappointed. But please be aware that if you get sea sick, do yourself a favor and eat one of the bars they sell at the booth before boarding the boat. That way you will ensure to enjoy the whole experience. ALOHA & MAHALO to the crew that was amazing! I WOULD DEFINITELY DO THIS ACTIVITY WITH THEM AGAIN!!!
