We had an absolutely incredible experience with Aqua Adventures--truly one of the highlights of our trip! From start to finish, the entire crew went above and beyond to make our day special. Matthew DeMayo captured everything so beautifully--his photos are something we'll treasure forever. Captain Darryl, Julian, and Stiles were not only professional and knowledgeable, but genuinely warm and attentive the entire time. And a huge thank you to Adella, who made our son's very first snuba experience unforgettable! Traveling with kids can sometimes be unpredictable, but this team was so kind, patient, and engaging with our boys--it really meant a lot to us as parents. Watching our son light up during his first snuba dive was such a special moment, and we're so grateful it happened with such a supportive and fun crew. You can feel how much this family-owned company truly cares about what they do. If you're considering an ocean adventure in Maui, this is the team you want. We can't recommend them highly enough! read more

Absolutely one of my favorite activities is to be on the open water & what a Mother Nature awesome hour to snorkel with the tropical fishes in the clear blue water of Molokini. I found the crew to be so-so and not 100% engaged in their work with exception of the snuba instructor. The Captain that day was particularly unfriendly and this is clearly a job to him, not passion. The breakfast was blah as was the lunch. I did appreciate the beer. They should have had bottled water and soda cans which would have fared better on the boat. One of the highlights was reeling in a 6 foot, 20# ono which completely delighted my daughters. Biggest downside- they didn't let us take our own pictures preferring their photographer to do it. The cost for pictures was completely ridiculous. The grumpy captain clearly did not want to share the fish stating that it would be at least an hour before fillet and dividing it up amongst the crew. I chose not to let the crew and the photography to sour the experience. What a joy it was to share the experience of swimming with the fish with my daughters. Biggest perk- prescription sunglasses that allowed me to see 20/20 clear! Be aware- the parking cost is monstrous :( Totally wish I could own my own boat to be out and about snorkeling in the absolute gorgeous Maui ocean life! read more

Captain and crew were friendly, funny, amd all around amazing. Adella was a great instructor for the snuba. The whole film loved her. She took the time to make sure everyone saw all the fish and critters around the reef and that everyone was doing well. We opted in for the underwater pics with Matt. Got them back the very next day or maybe the 2nd day after either way ir was quick. They are bada$$. So glad we got them. We definatley recommend. read more

I will say this was a great snorkel trip! The staff was amazing and accommodating to the guests. The boat is smaller than I thought and mentally compared it to another snorkel trip we did the week before where I had a huge comfy lounger. So if you're looking for that, this isn't it. I was slightly disappointed but not taking of anything because this was on me. The crew was heavily focused on ensuring guests were happy and took us to two different snorkel spots which was something many of the other companies don't do. Food and drinks were good too which helps. Thank you for a great trip. read more

Captain Darryl was nice and got us to find some whales on the way in and out. Darrien and Annie were super helpful the whole time and very kind. Photographer Matthew got some cool pics of everyone. The smaller group made for a more personable experience. read more

If I could give this trip 10/5 stars I would. It was so much fun! We learned, we laughed, and had an absolutely amazing time! The staff was so excited to be on the water and were so knowledgeable! We experienced so many amazing animals in and out of the water and the crew made sure we had time to really enjoy the experience. There was a professional underwater photographer on board as well - took spectacular photos of us snorkeling! I cannot recommend this company enough! read more

We had the best time with Aqua adventures this past week! Crew and Captain were attentive and personable, we had laughs and a great time.

Everything! Snuba, family of 4 (45,45,17,14). Awesome experience for all of us. Staff was amazing- helpful, knowledgeable, friendly. We were not able to go to molokini (weather) and the crew pivoted to a super rad spot. We saw everything we had thought we would see at molokini without any crowds. Highly recommend read more

The best snorkel & snuba trip I have ever been on! and it's all because of the crew :) they are incredibly kind and helpful. I want to especially thank Adela who took extra time with me, because I was nervous to snuba for the first time and she made me feel safe and was very encouraging. You can tell everyone loves what they do because they all have great attitudes. Thank you all again! :) read more

Captain Darrell and their crew were so welcoming and took great care of us! We celebrated my mom's 73rd birthday and it was unforgettable! Molokini crater was a little choppy but my mom still jumped into 30 feet of water! Turtle arches were the best!!! Better than Molokini in my opinion. Matt helped capture precious moments with his wonderful photography! Thank you guys so much for a great day!! Highly recommend read more

Best snorkeling trip ever! This is a more intimate boat, not a huge party boat. The staff are amazing, knowledgeable, and they love what they do. They are true professionals! Adella is so calm and patient. You have to try snuba with her. She makes the whole experience one you will never forget. Matt is such a talented photographer, capturing you in the water, and all the sea life that are lenses cannot. When we go back, we are definitely going to book with Aqua Adventures. read more

My Husband and I had so much fun with Aqua Adventure! We had done a snuba tour with trilogy earlier in the week and it was nice but decided to try Aqua Adventure for our second Snuba adventure and were so glad we did!!! Captain Darryl and the crew Shanessa and Darien were amazing. Very kind, informative, and helpful. I loved that they explain what you're looking at, and were funny while still explaining important information to you. I highly suggest booking with them over the more fancy boats! Better prices, but also a better experience (all are good) just on my option this one was better! Thank you for making our Honeymoon such a memorable experience! Shanessa was a great Snuba instructor! read more

It was an incredible experience well managed with experienced and engaging staff, who went out of their way to make sure we were well prepared and able to enjoy our experience to the max! We would do this again over and over. Highly recommend read more

Mahalo to Captain Darryl and the awesome crew (Darien, Shanessa, and Duke) of Aqua Adventures! There are dozens and dozens of outfits that can take you snorkeling to Molokini so picking one felt like entering the lottery. The great news is we struck it big! The boat is the perfect size- big enough to move around and mingle - and who doesn't love a top deck to do some sweet sightseeing - but not so big you feel like you're navigating Black Friday lines to find a seat! The equipment was well maintained, the food was very well done and plentiful! Captain Darryl kept us laughing while giving out excellent pointers and showing us terrific snorkeling territory - complete with the best turtle viewing spot. A true veteran and an awesome experience. We highly recommend them for any couple or family looking for a top tier experience! read more

This experience was a definite highlight of our first visit to beautiful Maui! My husband is a bit cautious around water and Marcella, our snuba instructor, was beyond patient and wonderfully supportive (and out with us on her birthday sharing her love of this ocean)! She could sense his unease onboard and made a plan with us to build help his confidence, gave us extra time to adapt, and even recommended that we try again at the second stop since he had been so close to the full underwater experience at Molokini. Once we got there, he too was 15 feet down and holding an octopus while throwing a shaka for Matt, the amazing underwater photographer, to capture. It was hard not to smile from ear to ear in order to keep my mask properly sealed! Everyone from the captain to all the crew and out fellow divers was wonderful. 10/10 would recommend supporting this local business and exploring Maui beneath the surface! read more

We have done several snorkel tours when visiting the other Hawaiian island but this one rates number one with us. We started out at Molokini Crater and from there went to turtle town. We saw so many different species of fishes and too many turtles to even count. We highly recommend Aqua Adventures. Great Crew, Great Captain, Great Time !!! read more

Snorkeling with Aqua Adventure was one of the highlights of our recent trip to Maui. We went out on an early tour to Molokini Crater and Turtle Arches and we were so glad that we chose this team. The crew was absolutely fantastic, and we wound up with probably 10 people on the tour, whereas we saw other bigger boats with hundreds of people, which looked very crowded when seeing them all in the water together. We got to Molokini before a lot of the crowds and were super lucky to see two monk seals playing together in the water. There were tons of fish to watch and coral to explore, but my favorite was the second stop, where we had up close and personal (safely) views of sea turtles, fish, and awesome coral reefs to explore. To and from both locations, we saw multiple whales and under water at Molikini, specifically, you could hear their songs if you dove a little deeper. All in all, a really great experience. Can't thank Captain Darrell, Adela, and Darien (not sure if I'm spelling any of these right, haha) enough for their kindness, humor, and care! P.S. We had just gone scuba diving a few days before, so opted to just snorkel, but Adela was so patient and great with all the folks that tried snuba--I followed them around from above while Adela pointed out cool stuff with her underwater etch-a-sketch! read more

Amazing time!!! They were friendly knowledgeable and made time for us individually. The photographer Matt was great in and off the boat texting with me about where me and my wife should eat and swim and every other adventure we could think of. We purchased his photos and were not disappointed. The captain was great and engaging although his dad jokes were a little dated. The young ladies onboard were fantastic to my wife and she loved it. We both highly recommend this and have already told friends bacK home about you guys. read more

Aqua Adventure - Thanks again for a great day! - Snorkeling Near Me - Wailuku, Hawaii

Hands down our best excursion we did in Maui. My husband and I did the SNUBA, which I was so scared to do. I had never even snorkeled before but Adela was AMAZING. She went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable even when I got scared while going underwater. She remained patient with me and eventually got me to go down and it was such an amazing experience! Thank you ADELA!! We saw sooo many amazing fish and turtles while she pointed each of them out for us. Marley was awesome as well as he took all the photos for us to buy after. We got pastries and fruit for the Included breakfast we sailed out to Molokini the water here was so nice and clear which made the snuba awesome! We then sailed to turtle town and snorkeled and saw turtles so close. After we were done we got sandwiches for included lunch and unlimited drinks. Rum and coke and Mai tais. Heavy pours. We had SO MUCH FUN read more

Aqua Adventures was an amazing experience! The entire crew provided excellent customer service, and were beautiful examples of Aloha. A large, semi-rowdy group of us from Oahu spent a totally memorable morning on the ocean today. We were so impressed with everything: from the cleanliness and organization of the ship and gear- to the instructions and communication throughout the adventure by the crew; not to mention the tasty continental breakfast and simple lunch. Everything was awesome. This is truly a top-notch operation, I would give more stars if I could! read more

We had an amazing experience with captain and crew as we cruised to the Molokini Crater. Their boat is the perfect size, only holds about 30 max, they have great equipment to cover all your needs. On the way back the captain stopped at a known turtle cove and we got to snorkel with the turtles! We had a wonderful time from start to finish, and would highly recommend Aqua Adventures for your guided snorkeling experience! read more

From Tara making our reservations to Adela being our dive instructor, the entire team was GREAT! Captain Darrell and crew were top notch not only in their jobs but in their customer service! The photographer was also great with his prices and skills. Adela was so patient with us first time divers and was so great in her explanation and class. Even though the weather wasn't super warm and sunny, the crew made the whole trip so pleasurable and exciting. The breakfast and lunch were also perfect choices. I just recommend maybe having more food because there was only 1 small sandwich per person available, BUT that is the ONLY thing I would change. The entire tour was overall AMAZING and I HIGHLY recommend Aqua Adventures!!! read more

I was a little worried when my family and I walked up, it didn't look like much. we wanted to go with one of the bigger boats. "Don't judge a book by its cover" we had an AMAZING day! the captain was witty and very friendly. The crew was Awesome! all of them were so friendly, attentive, fun, and helpful. We feel that with a smaller boat and crew we were able to have more personal experiences. My oldest son was worried about getting into the ocean, he had a blast and when we got back to the hotel, he wanted to go swim in the ocean thank you so much for making our experience so memorable.

Everything is great with this company. Punctual, crew is experienced and provide plenty of information. They give you enough time to snorkel or snuba. I did snorkeling only but my wife did both snorkeling and snuba. They take customers in small number. We were just 10 on small boat. Since less customers and so more focus on each one of us. Captain was super funny too. They provide breakfast initially and after activities they do open bar and lunch. Lunch was basically sandwiches and drinks mainly had Mai Tai. Lately I realized that they had beers too but it was too late since we were nearing harbor and so they won't give. Onboard photographer takes your photos in water whenever he can and thumb drive is available for purchase for $70 cash ($73 credit cards). Little costly but pics are too good to reject the offer. Experience was awesome and not so tiring. Team is dedicated to make our experiences great. Just giving them 4-stars as they didn't honored the offer which came for doing yelp checkin which was for photos. On showing the offer , photographer said that it's not for him and he is not aware of it even. However, yelp checkin offer was for same site photos which we bought after paying $73. There is some miscommunication somewhere in team. read more
