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.

The sunrise tour starts early but it is totally worth it! None of the pictures I saw of the sunrise can communicate the shear beauty of the view. The sun creeps over the cloud cover and suddenly everything is lit up with golden sunshine. After that, they took us to the summit and a couple other places on the mountain to see the crater and then took us back down and served us breakfast.

Best tour we have ever taken anywhere. Very small group (only 4 of us). The tour driver was very Knowledgeable. Easy driving tour without having to rush. 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 !

I had a great time diving on MALA PIER and a run through with my SCUBA Skills read for diving on Molokini later in the week. Extended Horizons were fantastic and had checked my SCUBA qualification before I arrived so knew I have a 40' limit. We ran through the skills for 10 minutes and then spent 40 minutes exploring the pier. Loads of fish, turtles and pillow stars. I can't recommend this site strongly enough it was amazing.

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.

Our tour guide/bus driver Rory was one of the best tour guides we had during our trip to Hawaii. He made our trip to Hana worthwhile and made us feel comfortable. Not only was he funny and made our trip interesting with his sense of humor but he was very knowledgeable with the history of Hawaii and everything we saw on the Road to Hana. The Road to Hana was a crazy ride but Rory did a great job with the turns and making us feel safe. He made it worth dishing out the money to go on a tour rather than driving it ourselves. We stopped by a couple of places that were not on the schedule, simply because we asked about them and wanted to stop by. We stopped by Hana Farms which was a small stand by Hana that sold the best banana bread. We also stopped by a general store in Hana with cool knick knacks and some snacks. Although it was not on our schedule, he was more than willing to stop and let us look around and buy some stuff. He always cracked jokes and talked about his family. It made us feel like he wasn't just doing his job but that he was enjoying his job and getting to know his guests at the same time. Our Road to Hana wouldn't have been so great if it wasn't for our tour guide from Polynesian Adventure Tours. We recommend this company and this tour guide for any future visitors to Maui who want to go on this tour. You'll have a blast!
