    We booked the Premier Snorkel Sail, and it was one of the best experiences we had in Maui. The tour was from 9:30 AM to 2:30 PM (checked in at 9:00 AM), and the full 5-hour trip was absolutely worth the price of around $169.95. This adventure included a tropical breakfast, a chef-inspired BBQ lunch, and a free open bar with Hawaiian beers, wine, and Mai Tais. We visited two snorkeling spots--one near the mother twig area and the other at an artificial reef. Both were stunning, and we got to see turtles, fish, and beautiful coral. The food cooked by Julia was incredible--fresh, flavorful, and honestly some of the best food we had on the island. But the highlight of the entire trip was Deyha. She was the true star--kind, genuine, humble, and so empowering. She remembered everyone's names, checked in on us constantly, and made sure we felt safe and comfortable. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does. Our captain, Nicole, was amazing as well--professional, friendly, and reassuring. If you don't know how to swim, they provide floats and teach you exactly what to do. I was really hesitant to get into the water, but Desa encouraged me, and it turned into one of the best decisions of my life. The boat was extremely clean--the bathrooms, eating area, and cleaning stations were spotless. The overall vibe on board was positive, friendly, and safe. The only small downside was that the ticket seller advertised it as a whale-watching + snorkeling tour, but once on the boat, we learned it was mainly a snorkeling tour, and they would only stop for whales if spotted. Still, the crew more than made up for it with their exceptional service. We did the morning Premier Snorkel Sail, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Maui. Beautiful views, incredible crew, great food, and unforgettable memories. 100% worth it.

    Did a snorkeling tour on 7/8/26 with Teralini 4. The staff was great ( I can't remember their names) but all were very friendly and attentive. Dakota was out in the ocean as our lifeguard at sea, this put me at ease as my kids snorkeled off the Mala wharf. We got to see a lot of turtles. The breakfast, bbq and drinks were great. The photographer also got really good photos of us snorkeling and the sea life, I would recommend buying the photo package.

    It was a wonderful experience even though it was a bit windy. We swam near coral and then a big drop off. Saw many types of fish. You could hear the Parrot fish chomping. The photographer was amazing as she got great photos of my daughter diving Her and her camera equipment caught some turtles eel and a variety of fish. We even saw a group of eagle rays swim by. Glad we were able to go snorkeling before the big storm came in. Service was great. Food was tasty and drinks flowed. Yes there are restrooms on the boat and they were spacious and. Lean. Staff had a lot of knowledge of the area as well.

    Beautiful sunset!!!

    This was my 3rd cruise with Teralani and it has been amazing each time! The crew was amazing! Captain Patrick and his team were so nice and made each person's experience unique: The Vodka Sunset is my new favorite beverage!! The photographer was the cutest and so funny.

    Sailed out on Teralani 4 on 7/17/26 for a snorkeling adventure. The crew was amazing and the snorkeling was phenomenal. Would highly recommend and we'll be back for another excursion on our next trip out to Maui in '27!

    Very easy sailing journey. Great crew. Dinner was better than expected with short rib or maui maui option. Protein a little small but well done. We would book again.

    Captain Mario!! Cheeee-Hooooo!!!
    Michael G.

    Me, my wife, in-laws and two young boys had an amazing time with captain Mario and his crew! Captain Mario and crew were very inviting, informative, and funny. Made us feel like Ohana! The food and drinks were on par and not only did we get to see a bunch of sea turtles but we were fortunate enough to be taken on an extra adventure and spotted a mother whale and her calf. No extra cost if you don't look at the whale . Overall great experience and would recommend Mario and his crew!! One last note, when boarding and unboarding from the beach, keep your eye on the wave. Cheeeee-Hoooooo!

    Dolphins right next to the boat

    Amazing afternoon dolphin sail July 2026. We probably saw at least 100 dolphins. They swam next to the boat, we saw them jump out of the water, just incredible and easy/safe for a family. Our kids ages 4, 7 and 10 all had a great time. The crew were so nice! The photographer was great too! We purchased all of the pics she took of our family and the dolphins for $85 which seemed pretty reasonable. You had the option to purchase one photo for $40 or all for $75 + tax. I was a little worried about our 4 year old but the water was pretty calm and they had life jackets for anyone that requested them.

    Sunset

    Great staff and good food. I highly recommend. We opted for the cocktail sunset cruise. Drinks and appetizers were served. A professional photographer was there as well to capture the moment.

    Rainbows the entire cruise

    We had an amazing sunset dinner cruise in Maui. Left right from the beach in Ka'anapali and had a the best time on Captain Patrick's boat. The whole crew was friendly and attentive with no shortage of drinks flowing. Food was great and the sailing views were beyond our expectations. The live music was an added bonus that really set the mood. Highly recommend

    See all

    Ask the Community - Teralani Sailing Adventures

    Can a person who walks with a cane do this sunset dinner cruise?

    Sure! But the boat does get quick rocky with the waves.

    Is the snorkel sailing tour recommended for non swimmers?

    They provide flotation devices and boards to lie on, so a reasonable person who is a non swimmer could have a good time.

    Is this recommend for non-swimmer?

    I went on their boat to do whale watching with my family and my husband and 1 year old are non swimmers. The tour we had didn't have an option to go in the water but the ride was secure. You had the option to sit up top on the deck or to sit down… 

    Your website states infant costs (0-2): $67.00 (plus taxes & fees). Does this apply to any infants…

    Yes correct

    Is there a restroom on board?

    There are two non-sex specific heads. These are the largest, cleanest, most well-maintained bathrooms I've seen on a boat. There is even a porthole so you don't get that claustrophobic feeling you often get in heads on boats.

    Does the premier snorkel trip go to Molokini?

    Sorry i don't know the answer to your question. To go to Molokini we used Kai Kanani in Wailea-Makena https://www.kaikanani.com/

    Do they validate parking at Whalers, and if not, where do you park?

    After our sailing trip, we went to whalers village and bought gelato and they validated our parking. Any of the ABC stores in the mall will validate with a minimum purchase i…

Beers, cocktails, spirits, pretty much whatever you wanted and the crew constantly walked around asking if anyone needed another drink. The heavy appetizers were also way better than I expected for "boat food", chicken katsu, Chinese chicken salad, pasta salad and kalua pork sliders, everything was really good. (No pictures cause I mopped it lol) The cruise itself was around 1.5 to 2 hours and our ride was incredibly smooth, although obviously that'll depend on the weather. They also offer a kamaʻāina discount if you call to book, which brought it to around $100 per person for us. Between the views, legit open bar, surprisingly good food and an awesome crew, I thought it was absolutely worth it. Would do this again in a heartbeat.

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 !!

Hands down. 10/10 If you are trying to decide between going on a large power catamaran or book Kainani - I will save you time, stress and mental energy. Book Kainani now. It is worth it. I'm the trip planner in our family (read cover-to-cover Maui Revealed and several other guide books on the island). Sailing - it was a relaxing day with nice wind and calm waters. Snorkeling - We saw so many fish (trumpet, convict, ember parrotfish, humuhumunukunukuapu'a) and even honu (sea turtle). It was a special day that I'll always remember. Captain - Ely = smooth and steady. Clear directions and focus on safety protocols. We felt safe the entire afternoon on board .. especially for one member who first time on a sail boat and snorkeling in open ocean water. Crew - Phil = perfect personality for a relaxing day on the water. Snorkeling guide extra ordinaire. Catering - We really enjoyed the poke tuna bowls, macadamia nut cookies, fruit on board. Water and beverages as well. What I didn't expect but enjoyed - We thoroughly enjoyed the journey to and from the sailboat. It felt special - in contrast, a power catamaran was down the shore with 75+ people boarding. Will I book again? Absolutely. (For those reading this far, unrelated Maui travel trip tip: the Hawaiian muffin at Maui Bread Company in Kihei and the pies from Leoda's in olowalu are worth the stop as well!)

    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!

There were many pleasant places to be on the boat, up top, on the trampolines on the bow, or in the cushioned stern area. Our Captain Kim ensured we were comfortable and safe. She served us plenty of fresh, delicious food, even accommodating my gluten-free diet. She had an assistant skipper, Tommy, who was very helpful, kind, and patient, and a cute little dog assistant called Rita. It was exhilarating. Being on a boat gave me incredible unique views of the islands and the sea and the best snorkeling I have ever experienced. It was so easy and fun doing it off the back of the catamaran. We sailed to Moloka'i harbor and around Lanai Island after anchoring, snorkeling, and kayaking at incredible spots. It was so beautiful that a friend and I slept outside on the trampolines one night to sleep under the stars. We saw sea turtles, dolphins, whales, sea birds, and an incredible amount of fish.
