This trip was a great trip that gave us a couple different spots to check out snorkeling in Maui. Boarding the boat was quick and easy and we were out of the harbor in no time. I suggest if you did tent gear or have your own snorkel gear to bring it with you. They are just basic J snorkels with one size fits most masks. The trip to lanai was quick and calm. The reef off of Lanai was pristine and had soo many colors. The wind picked up so we got off the spot looked for dolphin to the south and went to a second spot near Lahaina. This spot was great also near a broken down pier with tons of sea turtles. The bbq lunch of burgers hotdogs and chicken was great as well as the crew who went around to make sure everyone was having a great time. The crew was great for younger children and older patrons alike. There was even a complimentary adult beverage included after lunch. They sell some gear to raise money for local whale research which was a great concept. I would recommend this trip to any family looking to get out snorkeling for the first time. Great way to see the island and the coral reefs.

The guide was knowledgeable and very informative on the drive from Hilo to Hana, making several stops along the way, including a nice picnic lunch, (but meager vegetarian lunch for 2 of us who are vegetarians). I did get the feeling that we were on a timeline, though.
The Helicopter trip back to Hilo was fun and interesting, but did not go up into the volcano area and just flew along the coast and up the side of the volcano a bit. The pilot was very thoughtful and helpful throughout the trip.
Overall, it was a good tour, and I recommend it.
To the tour operators: you need to improve on your vegetarian lunches (maybe do a wrap with a tortilla, instead of lettuce?

My husband and daughter and I had a lot of fun on our snorkel adventure. We boarded and as the boat left the harbor we were told that breakfast was ready. Breakfast consisted of assorted fresh fruit, several types of muffins, and 3 types of juice, and coffee. Our captain for the day was concerned that the winds were already as strong as they were. She tried to get close to the shore of Lanai but the water was too choppy. She said that we would not be able to enjoy ourselves in water that rough and was very concerned for our safety. She had to turn around and go back to the coast of Maui to look for calmer water. I was glad that she was so safety conscious. I was having a good time just riding on the boat over the open water. Going back across the water was a bit bumpy, but that made it more exciting. We ended up going to a spot just off the coast of Maui were there was some pretty coral. The captain had a crew of 4 others who were all life guards. When the boat was anchored, the crew got busy helping everyone with their face masks & flippers and getting into the water. They had life belts for anyone who wanted to put them on (most people did). They also had swim noodles or boogie boards for us to use. There was one passenger who didn't know how to swim. The crew helped her get in the water and gave her one of the boogie boards to hold onto. They stayed right beside her until she felt comfortable. We spent about an hour at this location, then we got back on the boat and went to a second location where people actually saw some sea turtles in the water!
This trip was definitely fun. The only complaint was the weather could have been better the day we went, but we still got to go to two different locations and had about an hour in the water at each location.
I would definitely recommend that others try this excursion. You will have fun even if you have never been snorkeling before!

Overall my husband and I had a great experience! My husband is a avid diver, but this was my first time snorkeling in the ocean.
The crew was welcoming, informative, and entertaining! Everything was explained very well. Safety was a high priority. There were devises available for all ages and swim levels to ensure everyone had a great time. Some of us forgot to premeditate to prevent motion sickness :( the crew was exceptionally helpful with helping those of us feel better!
On our way to our first snorkel destination we came across a large group of Dolphins! They were all around the boat. Super beautiful!
Both of the snorkeling destinations were gorgeous! The water was super clear, with 150ft or more visibility! There were multiple types of fish in the area, even sea turtles.
I would recommend this activity to anyone wanting to have a great snorkeling experience!

This trip is totally worth it! First of all they pick you up exactly at your assigned time and after the trip they are right there to pick you up! So everything is done in a timely manner. The driver was extremely friendly and helpful. After they picked us up from our hotel, they drove us to where the boat is. Where the staff was just wonderful. On the way to Lahaina they offered us some good breakfast and played some music. Unfortunately, on our way to the first snorkel spot the weather got really bad. Therefore we had to go to a completely different spot where the waters were calmer and the weather was nice and sunny. Other than that the whole experience was amazing. The first snorkel spot that they took us to was beautiful. Filled with reef and all kinds of fish. Then, while on the way to the next snorkel spot they cooked us some dinner. On the second snorkel spot we got to see turtles and sharks! It was a lot of fun. On the way back they give you a complementary beer or cocktail and dessert. They also provided us with snacks and all kinds of drinks. I would recommended this excursion to anybody. Had a blast!!

We loved our trip from Maui to Lanai on this snorkeling cruise. The boat was a great size for the trip between the two islands. It was very clean and nice. The crew were all very helpful and friendly. We felt very confident in their abilities. They were all very knowledgeable about the trip and animal life that we encountered. The food was great, we loved having breakfast provided since we had to get up and be at the harbor so early. We were kind of disappointed to not see any dolphins. We felt like we had been told we would circle back to a specific point where dolphins are usually seen and that didn't happen. We were just taken back to Maui as soon as the second snorkeling stop had been made. Maybe we misunderstood what would happen there. Overall it was a great trip and a super fun way to spend the day.

We had a very nice time on the our snorkeling excursion from Maui to the island of Lanai. The crew was very helpful, especially to our inexperienced snorkelers in our family. The food they prepared was good and there were plenty of drinks offered to keep us hydrated. I thought the crew was very helpful and were open to answering questions we had and also provided some nice insights on all of the islands. The coral reefs they took us to were very vibrant and the visibility was very clear. I was a little disappointed in the lack of variety in the fish we saw and we did not see any dolphin that day. All in all it was a very nice day and a nice change of pace.

With ony 4 in the group, we stay longer on stops we liked and shorter on the ones we didn't. Lunch was good, again without having to rush off to stay on schedule. The same was true for the helicopter ride back. The polit was fantastic and always made sure we have our camera shots before leaving a givin area. He even spotted a whale (in late May no less) for us to see. Is this tour pricey? yes. Is it worth every penny? YES YES YES !

My daughter and I had a great time on this excursion. The individuals working the boat were very helpful. My daughter participated in the snorkeling and came face to face with two sea turtles! We actually made two stops for snorkeling. The breakfast consisted of fruit and muffins and lunch was hamburgers, and hotdogs. My daughter the diva had me take several pictures to post to her friends. The scenery was beautiful but best of all were the whales. We unexpectedly came upon three male whales following a female and her calf. The captains commentary was exceptional and the whales came up out of the water right next to our boat and then dove under it!! It was truly a sight to see. We had a wonderful time, the crew was exceptional and I would recommend this excursion to everyone.

The main reason for the helicopter tour was to fly over the crater at Haleakala. Unfortunately the clouds prevented us from doing that. The staff was unable to confirm that we would not be flying over the crater until we were actually in the air. Then on top of the bad address provided for the heliport and the lack of specific detailed information on getting to the helicopter location made for a very stressful and frustrating morning. Once landing and getting on the van to drive back from Hana things were much better. The tour guide in the van was very informative. I would only take this trip again if there were a discount included if weather conditions made it impossible to get to the crater.

We started around ten in the morning. It was a sunny day, you can feel the heat with the sun, make sure u have sun block on. Ranch owner greet us at the parking lot, walk us through the procedure. I highly recommend you to listen closely. He will teach you all the basic skill. Those horses are very gentle, so don't be afraid. They are clam as a cucumber. You don't have to Do anything most of the time. They are Well trained. You Just have to watch them about feeding on the side grass. They are very sneaky on grabbing a bite on the side. You Just have to Let them know you are watching and signal them before they grab the grass.We went across a stream and up the hill towards the valley. Owner provided a nice picnic. You Just have to be ready for some unexpected situation so you can communicate with the horse quickly. This is great activity and you get to see the whole west side.

The location is little bit remote but not hard to find. the farm is quite big. Learned alot about dragon fruit and pineapple. Zip line was so great and the aqua ball was awesome. Zip line is quite fast with great view to the ocean. i feel very safe with their procedure and equipment. It wasnt as high as i would like but for most first time zip liner ,this is a great beginning trial. Aqua ball is fun. If you want speed,you must stay completely relax when u going down hill. The ball will gain lots of speed. We also tried the juicy sugar cane. It tasted so sweet and refresh. Jessica and Matt were so so friendly. They know Just about everything about the farm. Overall ,we had great time with their friendly staff.

It was a beautiful day in May 2015. From the start the crew were very helpful, their #1 concern was always their passengers safety. We saw spinner dolphins and bottlenose dolphins on 3 occasions 2 time on the way to Lanai and once going back. They took us to sweetheart cove (I think that was the name) and it was beautiful. The 2nd snorkeling spot was by a broken down pier and we saw a diver holding a octopus - amazing. We also saw plenty of colorful fish and sea turtles. The crew never stopped - the started making lunch as soon as we got on board from the first snorkel and were helping everyone on and off the boat. Very friendly. We would definitely go back. I would recommend this to anyone coming to Maui!

What an awesome experience!!! Was the best because my fear of water had lessened. When me and my friends were talking about this cruise I was speculating because of my fear. But for the sake of friendship we did it. No turning back. Booking was easy. We booked Thursday and luckily there were available slots the next day which was our last day of fun moments in Maui.
At the Lahaina harbor, we were met by a nice and jolly gentleman who helped us at the entrance. Before we got into the ferry, Lily the captain welcomed us and gave us some information and instructions. As soon as we entered the ferry, breakfast was ready. No worries of getting hungry. Then Lily gave us more instructions and reassured everyone that they will help and guide us all the way. The words of assurance from Lily, Robin and Cody made me even more comfortable.
Finally we reached our first stop at Lanai. Everyone was already jumping into the water while me and my friends were just standing at the stairs because this was our first time. And the water was kind of rough and my fear was kicking me. Then came Robin who helped and guided us with the board. Robin did a good job teaching and guiding people in the water. The same thing with Cody. The first time I dipped my head into the water, all I was saying was WOW!!! Underwater is really amazing. I was so full of joy because finally I got to see live corals and fish swimming in their own world. I was so proud of myself. At that time, I told myself I need to get over this fear and need to learn how to swim so I will be able to explore and enjoy the habitat of fish.
This is an experience that will remain in me forever. I surely will do it again and hopefully I will be a good swimmer by then. It's worth doing it.
Thank you Lily, Robin, and Cody for doing a good job. You are all wonderful people.
