The captain and crew were not only extremely knowledgeable about the boat, the island, and the sea life, but they also made the entire trip feel personal and welcoming. You can truly tell it's a tight-knit team--the same crew providing full service with food and drinks throughout made it feel seamless and special. Their attention to detail and genuine care really captured the spirit of aloha. It was an unforgettable part of our Maui adventure, and we're so grateful we got to experience it. Highly recommend to anyone looking for something truly memorable on the island. Mahalo again for such an amazing day!

We had the best time on our snorkeling tour today!…read more It was our first snorkeling tour, and we truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. My husband was also snorkeling for the first time and was (not so quietly) terrified, but Will made him feel so much safer and more comfortable in the water. Will, Nicholas, Zac, and Catherine were all so wonderful - they made us feel welcomed and excited from the moment we arrived. Lila was also great and so much fun to take photos with! The entire experience was fantastic, and the food and drinks were delicious as well. We had such an amazing time and will absolutely be booking more tours in the future. Highly recommend!

THE BEST THING WE DID ON MAUI!!!…read more We did the Ma'alaea Sunset Cruise with Captain Zach, Catherine, and Becca. The crew was so kind and so attentive. And the food was GREAT! We did the appetizer cruise and it was definitely enough food to be full. The drinks were great and the crew made sure our cups were never empty. The sunset was absolutely beautiful. We would absolutely do it again. They even have a photographer, so we ended up buying a picture from them (although $40 seems a little overpriced for one photo). If you are looking for a romantic (or just fun thing to do) on Maui, you have to check this out!

My friend is going to be leaving the islands after 25 years. He also wanted to visit my family on…read moreMaui. I thought I would make his departure very special with a Molokini snorkel trip. We could not have been more lucky. I called to make sure there was vegan options for food and also the person that I spoke with made it easy to purchase 4 tickets for my father and stepmother as well as for my friend and I. We arrived early and found parking. There is also easy parking on the pier for a dollar an hour. I booked these tickets about a month in advance. Why I say we were very fortunate is because the weather although cloudy on the way to Molokai cleared up twice while we were in the water. The breakfast was fresh there was croissants small corn muffins and fresh fruit as well as deviled eggs. My parents enjoyed the devil eggs tremendously. The croissants were very fresh tasting. There were plenty of fish to snorkel and see. The crew was spectacular the captain pointed out different formations and shared interesting history 2 and from the island. What made the trip spectacular was the incredible amount of whales we saw. At 1 point the captain cut the engine because whales played around our boat going underneath several times. It was a trip of a lifetime.

We've sailed with Sea Maui 8 or 9 times on their Sunset Dinner, Sunset Cocktail and Whale watching…read morecruises. For us, we prefer the Sunset Cocktail cruise as it's the perfect amount of food and drinks. This last trip, we took the whole family for the express snorkel trip. It's a shorter trip, which worked perfectly for the younger kids and didn't tie up a big amount of island time. Captain Nick and his crew was all about making sure all had a great time while keeping safety at the top of mind. They guaranteed we'd see turtles... we did! Immediately. I accused them of being remote controlled because they were there right on cue! I'm not a big snorkel guy, but I had a blast. We'll keep returning to Sea Maui. Greatest crew on Maui !!

On our vacation to Maui last week, we took trips out to the sea with Sea Maui twice. Our first trip…read moreout was an adults-only family excursion while the kids hung out with their grandma and auntie. The catamaran was pretty sweet, with some really comfy bean bags overlooking the edge out to the ocean. While we did occasionally get splashed in this area, it was worth the unobstructed view of the sunset and the breeze in my hair. The crew was especially sweet and treated all of us like absolute royalty. A note to those who are prone to motion sickness: do not try to be brave and only wear sea bands thinking you'll be okay. Take your Dramamine an hour before you board the catamaran. While the first half of our dinner cruise was fine with my motion sickness, the second half of the trip left me feeling really queasy around dinner service time. This made me very sad. This was no fault of the crew, and 100% my fault for thinking I could tough it out. If you are ill-prepared, the crew has ginger ale, club soda and ginger chews to help. Speaking of dinner, the few bites I was able to eat on our first trip were fantastic: a full dinner buffet prepared by Cafe Jai. The salmon was perfectly tender, as was the short rib. The caesar salad was just the right amount of tangy (and the extra dressing was really great on the salmon as well.) I'm not sure what kind of sauce was on the crispy seasoned potatoes but they were absolutely delightful. And of course, the crown on top of a delicious meal was the mini brownie cup we were served for dessert before we wrapped up the trip. Our second trip (where I was prepared with some Dramamine) was a memorial for our grandparents, where we released their cremains at sea with eco-urns. I must say that the crew handled everything wonderfully. We had the full bar, another beautiful buffet spread including some delicious crispy chicken, a pesto pasta salad, pulled beef sliders, and rolls. After we said our emotional goodbyes, we were given rose petals to release into the ocean. We even received certificates after the trip that gave us the coordinates of where my grandparents cremains were released. I seriously cannot thank Sea Maui enough for giving my family a truly memorable experience on our trip to Maui. They made our trip so special. A million thanks for the kindness!

A snorkeling trip to Molokini Atoll with a side trip to swim with the green sea turtles right off…read morethe beach from the homes of Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, and a house once owned by David Bowie, was a must for our family Christmas Vacation on Maui. We selected this company due to their excellent reviews, and we're sure glad we did! Captain Ryan and deckhands Jade and Chloe were friendly, funny, knowledgeable and accommodating. And even though the tour was for snorkeling only, Ryan decided to throw in some dolphins and whale watching we hadn't expected! Lunch and snacks were very good, too. The 60' Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat (RHIB) was maneuverable, comfortable, and with FOUR 350 HP Yamaha outboards (that's 1,400 HP), VERY fast! Just an outstanding day for the whole family. First rate all the way!

Would 100% recommend Sail Maui for the Molikini snorkeling trip. The crew were probably the best…read morewe've ever had and we've done several sailing/snorkeling trips over the years. They were of course knowledgeable but they were also very service oriented, continuously asking us and the other guests if we needed anything, offering to bring us drinks, talking our trash etc. they were also very friendly and we had some good conversations with them. The trip started with delicious breakfast croissants and cinnamon rolls, the snorkeling was great at molikini, my kids and husband enjoyed jumping off the side of the boat while there as well, the lunch afterwards was plentiful with so many delicious options, we all loved sitting on the net/trampoline on the way back, and getting a little sailing in. We just really had an awesome day at sea. We'd definitely book with them again on our next trip!

We did the deluxe Molokini Crater and Turtle Town tour. The boat experience was excellent though…read moresomehow my boyfriend and I ended up getting on last and getting the leftovers for seating. The staff was all fantastic--Kayden, Sienna, Carly and Jim. The weather was great and we got to circle around Molokini. The clarity as Molokini is every bit as amazing as they say. The downsize is you are corralled into a virtual pen so you can't really drift away from the crowd to explore. You'll need to watch for human feet while you are watching the sea-life. Turtle Town was nice, but the visibility was not as good. We saw more turtles off Ka'anapali Beach and one of the wayside beaches. Still, the other part of the experience was the snorkeling and... the drinks! And the food! The watermelon mojito was our favorite, though all the drinks were great and the food likewise was excellent. I would highly recommend this experience. While it wasn't our favorite snorkeling experience, the overall experience was one of the highlights of our trip!

And if you can request a captain; definitely ask for Spencer and Sam. They're the best.

I booked a snorkeling tour for one person in March 2026. Both my booking confirmation through…read moreGetYourGuide and the confirmation from Hawaii Nautical clearly reflected that the reservation was for one guest. The evening before my tour, I called to confirm everything. During that call, the representative noticed what appeared to be a duplicate reservation and assured me she would cancel the duplicate booking. She also recommended that I contact GetYourGuide to verify I would not be double charged. GetYourGuide confirmed that my reservation had always been for only one person and that I had only been charged once. Despite this, approximately two hours before my scheduled departure, I received a call informing me that my tour was being canceled because there were not enough passengers. I even offered to purchase a second seat so the tour could proceed, but that offer was declined. What is most frustrating is not simply that the tour was canceled, but that this issue could have been communicated much earlier. If the company knew they were unlikely to meet their minimum passenger requirement, there was no reason to wait until two hours before departure. By that point, I had already arranged transportation, incurred cancellation fees on my ride, and lost the opportunity to book another snorkeling excursion during my vacation. Yes, I was refunded, but a refund is the bare minimum when a company cancels a service for reasons entirely within its control. The last-minute cancellation created unnecessary inconvenience and wasted valuable vacation time. If you're booking with Hawaii Nautical, especially as a solo traveler, be aware that your reservation may be canceled at the last minute if they don't have enough passengers. I would have appreciated more transparency and significantly more notice.

The crew was…read moresuper helpful, and they have great instructions, while also explaining things about Hawaii's history, culture and the different islands. We went to Molokini first. When we went into the water, the first thing we saw was a baby blacktip reef shark, so we were super excited. We stayed in that location for about an hour and saw many tropical fish in the reef. We then went to Oneuli, where we saw a green seaturtle and plenty more fish. They served a great lunch on the boat (fish and BBQ pork tacos) and had a cocktail. We then went back to the harbor. Check-in was at 630am and we were back around noon. These snorkel trips are expensive but the one with Maui Magic is around the same price points as other good providers (~$225 per person). I would highly recommend Maui Magic!
