The captain and naturalist were nice, friendly and knowledgeable. We saw a lot of whales, sea turte, and we also heard the whales sing! The captain has a hyrophone and that's when we heard the whales sing. Towards the end of our tour, I heard the whale sounds with just my ear and without the hydrophone. It was a really cool and memorable experience. I highly recommend Maui Reef Adventure.

An Absolute Must-Do in Maui! March 6, 2026…read more Our morning trip with Makai Adventures was easily the highlight of our vacation! If you are looking for an intimate, high-quality whale watching experience, look no further. The Boat The vessel is fantastic. It's an inflatable-style boat, but don't let that fool you--it was incredibly stable on the water. It seats about 20 people, so it feels personalized rather than crowded. Most of the seats are shaded, which was a huge plus for staying comfortable in the sun while we scanned the horizon. The Crew A massive shout-out to our captain and naturalist Levi & Travis! They were the perfect duo: Safety-First: We felt totally secure and well-cared for the entire time. Informative & Funny: We learned so much about whale behavior, and their humor kept the energy high and the vibes great. Genuine Kindness: You can tell they truly love what they do. The Whales The wildlife did not disappoint! Since we went out in the morning, the water was beautiful, and we saw so many whales. We spent the entire trip watching them breach and splash around. It was a non-stop show of tail flukes and massive splashes. Thank you, Makai Adventures, for such an awesome and unforgettable adventure. We will definitely be back!

Afterward the snorkeling, we enjoyed breakfast bites and beverages. Russell makes a great Mai-Tai. Small suggestion: provide more of your mini breakfast croissant/muffins so you wouldn't have to limit the amount. Folks are hungry when they get out of the water. Besides that I highly recommend this trip if you're looking for a shorter trip In the morning.

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!

The entire experience was incredible from start to finish. Captain Brandon was amazing and made the trip extra special by letting the kids each take turns steering the boat -- such a fun memory they will never forget! Kenzie, Megan, and Joe were all so attentive, friendly, and constantly checking in to make sure everyone had everything they needed. The customer service truly stood out and made the whole experience feel relaxed and welcoming. The food was delicious, the music was fun, the snorkeling was fantastic, and today's weather could not have been more perfect. Molokini Crater was absolutely beautiful with amazing visibility in the water. If you are visiting Maui, Sail Maui is an absolute must-do experience. We already cannot wait for next year!

A short walk to the harbor and we were on the boat. The Captain, don't remember her name, was very informative and ensured safety protocols were understood by everyone. The boat was clean and accommodating for our group of 10. The sail was beautiful and mesmerizing. The Captain took time to give instructions on how to sail the boat to the children onboard. She also aloud them to have turns at the helm. Very exciting work for the kids. There were good options for beverages and appetizers. The musical playlist was pretty good and set the tone for the island vibes. We felt that we were in more than capable hands. Next time we come back, we'll look for this tour line and crew.

Roger "Red" was proactive, thoughtful, friendly, down-to-earth, organized, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive from start to finish. He made the planning easy and gave us a lot of confidence before we even got on the water. Wes was an excellent tour guide. He was kind, humble, helpful, knowledgeable, and very attentive to our family throughout the entire experience. At one point, I needed a little extra support getting safely back to my kayak, and Wes handled it calmly, professionally, and with such kindness that I felt completely taken care of. That kind of steady guidance matters, especially when you're out on the water. Our family had such a memorable time kayaking together, snorkeling, exploring the reefs, and swimming near the honu. It was one of the highlights of our Maui trip. The whole experience felt personal, well-run, safe, and genuinely special. Thank you, Roger and Wes, for taking such great care of us.

And I'd like to give Wes a special thanks for leading us to the exact spot to meet a mama whale and a baby whale. This encounter has been my dream come true. YES!!!
