Michael M.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

Their 3hr snorkeling with the turtles was amazing. It was the highlight of our vacation. The crew Sophie, Gavin and the others were exceptionally nice and made our experience outstanding. Highly recommend adding this to your trip adventures.

February is known to be peak whale season in Maui and being able to witness it firsthand was a magical experience. The crew are all incredible, super friendly, and attentive with a vast amount of knowledge. Learning about the fun facts was quite entertaining in between whale spotting. The captain took us to multiple spots and it was a breathtakingly beautiful experience and wonderful way to get the morning started. Went out on the first trip at 7:30 am which I enjoyed because the sun wasn't too harsh at this time. The crew passed out water and had snacks on board, I had some pineapple and muffin. The meeting spot was towards the water on the beachwalk, close to the hut where you can rent gear such as snorkels, fins, & boards. It's close to Kāʻanapali Beach Resort. They check you in and you do a beach loading onto the catamaran. There are plenty of spots to sit or stand and it was a good group of people. Got to experience both close and far spotting, one whale came really close and we got to see it swim under the water and come up to spout. Loved being able to watch them in their natural element, doing turns, breaching, and playing. Can't thank the wonderful and lovely staff enough! I did the Whale Watch experience but Teralani does offer other options such as snorkeling adventures and sunset cruises.

Capt. Mario, Greg, Julia and Pat are the best I have seen in a very long time. As a business owner myself and one who preaches customer service daily, you can imagine that good customer service is beyond a top priority for me. In a world that is severely lacking customer service this crew can teach what top notch service looks like,. If you can get on this sunset cruise with this crew you will not be disappointed. Way to go crew you are the best of the best!! Tammera Hollerich-Kuncheff Dallas, TX read more

We went on a Taralani sunset whale watch cruise and had the most perfect, amazing time! While of course they can't control the whale sightings, I'd like to point out that they went out of their way to make sure we saw as many as we could :) While the food wasn't AMAZING, it was decent, and what we received for the price - amazing service, drinks included, and a full meal - was MORE than worth it. The boat was spotlessly clean, the music was good, and the staff were on top of everything. I cannot recommend them enough! read more

Picked up gift cards at Costco and saved 25% right after we landed.From my first calls to inquire about their offerings to departing the beautiful catamaran from our snorkeling excursion, the service was exceptional! Crew was amazing and detail oriented, food was better than expected, free cocktails and dessert were a pleasant surprise. We were treated to schools of colorful fish in Honolulu Bay and the ride over and back was breathtakingly beautiful. We highly recommend Teralani and the crew today on #4. One caveat, parking at Whalers Village cost us $50, we could have gotten validation for 2 hours but chose not to buy something to save $16. read more

We went yesterday for the afternoon premier whale watching with Captain Tanner. We book several tours, various companies, each time we do our annual family vacation to the islands. Teralani has been the best so far. Crew was awesome, food was great and we seen a ton of whales. Lots of breaching and momma-baby action. Even a manta ray. Our grandmas 92nd birthday celebration seeing the whales was a hit for her. Every person in our large group was pleased and have asked me to rebook this one for next year. Big thanks to the crew for a memorable one! read more

Don't hesitate, this is a fun experience, you meet new people and make new friends. I don't have any complaints, only complements. Shout out to the great staff who took care of us on Teralani 5. And especially shout out to Jameson, he was high spirit, high energy, always taking care of everyone, and doing it with a smile. Lots of jokes, and lots of memories.

Amazing snorkeling adventure! We came in mid-March and we're able to see multiple whales on the way to our first stop. One whale swam directly under the boat moments after the captain said "get your cameras ready, he's going right under us and will pop up on the other side" and that's exactly what happened like it was planned! We stopped twice to snorkel and both spots did not disappoint. The 2nd location near a sunken wharf had turtles everywhere, even though it was more crowded. I can't say enough about the crew...amazing, humble, hard working, and went the extra mile to make sure we had everything we needed. Plenty of delicious food for breakfast and lunch. Open bar started after we snorkeled and it was truly open. I went with my wife and 2 kids (14/11) and they could get juice and "mocktails" until they couldn't drink anything else. I took advantage of the Mai Tais and other tropical options. Side note: it picks you up on the beach (wet water entry) which was so much better than a boring dock launch that some of the other tours offer which is just so mechanical and impersonal. This set the stage for a wonderful day. All 4 of us agreed it was the highlight of our trip. 100% recommended!!! read more

We did the snorkel adventure sail and it was the best snorkeling trip I've ever taken! Captain Patrick was awesome, as were the crew: Maka, Keilani and Gavin. They fed us breakfast and coffee, then we went to our first snorkel spot which was loaded with turtles! It was incredible! Then we were served a BBQ lunch (they have a grill AND a full bar on the catamaran) while we sailed to our second spot. On the way, the captain paused our route as there were about six whales -- the males were courting a female and really showing off. It was spectacular. The second snorkel spot was loaded with coral reef and SO many fish. I could have stayed forever. The crew were knowledgeable, friendly, and really watched out for the guests. I truly can't say enough nice things. It was totally worth the price and I hope people tip as the crew work hard and likely aren't compensated much, probably really need the tips. They said they hope for more tourism since the fire, so if you're thinking about it, do it! P.S. TWO working bathrooms on the catamaran and spots to sit in the shade if needed. read more

The skipper and his team were fun and did their best to keep drinks and food coming once we were underway. Everything was as we had hoped. We had a delicious dinner and saw whales (just wished they were closer but they don't control the whales). We look forward to another trip in our future.

What a great day! Teralani is amazing! I booked a snorkeling excursion for myself and my two sons. They had never been sailing on a catamaran before so this was a real treat. We sailed for about an hour, got splashed and enjoyed the sun. My boys loved standing at the bow and looking out onto the ocean. Snorkel time! I will admit I was a little nervous but I pushed past it and am glad I did. It's so beautiful down there! I didn't last too long but was proud that my boys were so into it. Pro tip: Once you are done snorkeling, you can start boozing. I definitely got a jump on those brave snorkelers. It's open bar and they offer mixed drinks, wine and beer. Oddly enough, the captain is also the bartender! Lunch was sandwiches, pasta salad, fruit and chips. All very yummy. They even came around later with delicious chocolate chip cookies and ice cold milk! The staff were very friendly and hard-working. I felt extremely safe and cared for. When we sailed back to shore, I really didn't want to get off. That's a testament to what a wonderful excursion this was. Thanks, Teralani! read more

But, he stuck me with another family's 10 year old kid since I was solo. It's a team sport and no 10 yr old can cooperate. As soon as I was in the water, I knew it was a mistake to have a kid in tandem...and I should have quit then as my gut told me. I had to babysit the whole ride. He got us tangled twice and both times Aaron addressed ME as the problem! That was the wrong way to handle it. On board as I conversed with him about the matter, he began strongly arguing with me and I called him on it! Hey, I'm the unhappy customer nicely but firmly giving you my opinion of having someone else's child to drag along. Eventually he stopped blaming me and arguing with me, but he was not mature about taking negative feedback. He handled that too wrongly. Afterwards, I jumped into the sea and had a great time snorkeling with the fish and coral. The Teralani crew were fantastic - patient, friendly, always happy and smiling. The BBQ is hot dogs and hamburgers, chips, cookies, plenty of soda, beer and wine. Altogether a great time. (I did let them know my critique of the snuba and they were glad I did cuz they need to know about their contractors.) read more

My wife and I were celebrating our 10 year anniversary in Hawaii when we experienced this unforgettable dinner cruise. It has been a crazy year with the pandemic and acclimating to a new way of life. Hawaii is the gold standard of preparedness and precaution. Most notably though was the crew of the "Teralani 5" on Dec 15th. Spencer, Heidi, and Christian demonstrated the epitome of professionalism and adherence - enough to make the governor of Hawaii proud. Moreover they made the experience effortless in their work to stay compliant, and also pleasantly non-obtrusive. We enjoyed a beautiful sunset, delicious food, delightful cocktails, and awe-inspiring whale breaches. To say the staff made it all the more wonderful would be terribly understated. Simply put, they put on display their vast knowledge of the whales, shared personal stories of their delights in Hawaii, and were relentless in their efforts to keep smiles on their guests faces. My wife and I could not more highly recommend this experience. It has easily been the best Hawaii has to offer. read more

A Perfect Day on the Water - Amazing Crew & Beautiful Snorkeling! We had an unforgettable experience with Teralani Sailing! From start to finish, the entire crew went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a fantastic time. The captain was professional and friendly, and every single crew member--from the deckhands to the onboard photographer--was warm, helpful, and attentive. What really stood out to me was how kind and patient they were with my daughters. They helped them get their snorkeling gear on, made sure they were comfortable and safe, and were just all-around lovely with the kids. It made a big difference and allowed us all to relax and enjoy the trip. We stopped at two beautiful snorkeling spots with plenty of colorful fish and clear water--absolutely stunning locations. The boat was spacious, clean, and smooth-sailing, and the vibe was just fun and easygoing the whole time. Highly recommend Teralani if you're looking for a top-notch snorkel sail in Maui. Can't wait to go again! read more

We sailed with Teralani crews twice this past week. Both crews were captained by Capt Spens. The crew last week was Ava, Tanner and Tiffany. Today it was Randi, Tanner and Chase. Both snorkle cruises were excellent, with great food, music, service and snorkling. We even saw whales last week. The downside is no merchandise being available on board. I called the office speaking with Christy last week at the crew's suggestion. She stated she needed to speak with Capt Drew about merchandise and would get back to me. She never did. We have enjoyed sailing on the Teralani since the early 1990's. We estimate we have been on at least 30 cruises with the crews of the Teralani. We have never sailed with any other catamaran sailing company, and hopefully never will. read more

Today I had the pleasure of sailing, snorkeling and snuba diving with Teralani sailing, what an experience, the staff were absolutely amazing, very knowledgeable and extremely friendly, they take you out to Honolua Bay to snorkel or snuba dive if you add that to your experience, we saw turtles, eels and all sorts of amazing fish, then they serve you a wonderful BBQ and if you like to drink there's an OPEN BAR, cmon who doesn't like an open bar, the price you pay for the whole experience is worth the open bar in my opinion lol, finally when heading back to the dock they turn off the engine and sail the rest of the way, we got lucky and got to see dolphins too, overall the staff and trip was 5 stars, amazing read more

We had a great experience with the Teralani tour! Connor and the crew were awesome super friendly and made everyone feel safe and welcome on board. The views were absolutely stunning, and as a bonus, we even got to see dolphins , which made the trip even more memorable. The appetizers were simple, nothing fancy, but honestly, it's a quick 2-hour tour, so we weren't expecting a full meal. They had a nice selection of drinks Mai Tais, beers, and a vodka lemonade mix good enough to sip and enjoy the ride, though nothing over the top. Overall, a fun, laid-back experience with a solid team and beautiful scenery. Perfect for a casual afternoon on the water! read more

I'm shocked! How people can do for money like everything. Even they can take people under the rein just do not refund people they money they not even think about people safety. The rain is pouring like no tomorrow and I feel uncomfortable and not safe to take the tour because 1st the tour for see the around not to be closed under umbrella with all passengers. 2nd is safety and I feel very uncomfortable to go in this weather to the ocean. I called them and they refused to give me a refund and they said it's Hawaii and it's only rain. Ridiculous, you should work on your customer service department if you have one. read more

Teralani was an excellent excursion. Captain Chad, Niko, Bree, and Kylie were great!! Very hospitable. The customer services was wonderful. We were a large group of 15 people, ages 79 - 6, and it worked out great for everyone in our group. The food and drinks were delicious. They were very generous servings. We didn't feel cheated, or that were were being rationed food. Thank you! I was hesitant at first, to get in the water, but Niko and Bree made me feel at ease, and I am so glad that I went in the water. We saw a variety of fish and turtle. Highly recommend Teralani. read more

This whole operation is tops! Captain Julia, Maka, Brodie and all, are kind and generous and work so hard to fulfill your expectations and hopes. Our adventure started a bit slow but upon seeing the first blow of water the chase was on and successful, surprisingly so for being 2 days before end of season. We also watched a pod of dolphins run through and a sea turtle rounded out the "trifecta," as Maka put it. The crew provided a tour of the area complete with stories, beautiful weather, and smooth waters. Definitely worth the money! Would do it all over again and will read more

We went on a snorkel cruise on the Teralani catamaran November 2 and absolutely loved it! Captain Nick truly did it all, keeping the party going and finding all the great snorkel spots! The atmosphere was very fun, and we would certainly do it again! The entire crew (Meredith and others) were super friendly and fun! The photographer who's great shots of us and even taught us to deep dive while snorkeling. We got to snorkel alongside sea turtles, small harmless sharks, many fish, and even got to see the spinner dolphins! Highly recommend this excursion! read more

Our captain and crew were nothing short of fantastic. We both got a little sea-sick and they were all there in a minute to help us be comfortable and get over it. The Snuba instructor, Beau, made you feel like you'd known him for years, what a great guy. Photos were done by Luana Teixeira and wow, they are amazing shots of us and the marine life. We had never snorkeled or done snuba before and what a great adventure. I would recommend this company and trip to anyone visiting Maui. read more

I would like to think the crew for doing an excellent job, they kept everything clean and wore their mask the whole time, I know it can't be easy in these times to be professional but these guys got it down.

Highlight of our trip, been on Teralani four times and it just keeps getting better. read more

What a great adventure! Our captain Kevin and his wonderful crew made our day! They were attentive, excited and informed. I was a little concerned about taking my 83 year old husband out but was pleased that they were warm and respectful. We snorkeled in an area we had never been before and thoroughly enjoyed returning to base under sail! Not to mention the tasty lunch and awesome mai tais. I highly recommend this company! read more

The Terilani III sunset sail was absolutely fantastic! Niko and AJ were so welcoming and made everyone feel comfortable, and the captain was incredible at getting us close to the whales while respecting them. Seeing the whales jump and hearing them was something I'll never forget. The whole evening felt magical, and I'm so grateful to the crew for their kindness and expertise. A must-do if you're in Maui! read more

We went on the sunset cruise. From start to end the crew was very friendly. Captain Matt managed to speak to every guest and offer to take pictures. The food was very good and very appropriate for the type of excursion. My favorite was the focaccia bread but the meatballs were also pretty good. The drinks were abundant. It was a very relaxing way to end the day and we got perfect sunset pictures. read more

Absolutely incredible evening with captain Spence on Teralani 5. Watched whales up close for an hour, then cruised along through at least a thousand spinner dolphins. It was magic. All the while, the wonderful crew served us drinks, a delicious supper and dessert. It's been a rough year and tonight brought my daughter and I to tears, happy, joyous tears. A fabulous outing, thank you so much!!! read more

Amazing snorkeling adventure and fantastic crew!! We enjoyed a trip up to Honolu'a Bay for our first snorkel and then cruised over to a little cove next to Kapalua Bay for our second. We saw tons of fish, gorgeous coral and turtles. And if that wasn't enough, we got back on the catamaran and they had lunch ready for us. What a perfect day! read more

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!

I chose this particular tour because it was a smaller group size and I did not want to feel crowded or overwhelmed on a boat with strangers. It was the perfect amount of people, and my husband and I ended up chatting with most of the other passengers, having lots in common. Our captain was Caiden, who was extremely kind, informative, and entertaining. We also had crewmates Sienna, Diego, and Jim looking out for us and making sure that we were comfortable and had all of our wants and needs met. I felt completely safe and comfortable the entire trip and I appreciated having a certified lifeguard on boat with us. The snorkeling experience was phenomenal and being pregnant, it made me feel so calm and relaxed. I appreciated learning the history of the two various locations we snorkeled at and the opportunity to see a sea turtle. The ship itself was pristine, and the restrooms were some of the cleanest I have ever experienced on a boat. The breakfast and lunch that they served us was tasty, and the macadamia nut cookies at the end were the perfect sweet treat. I appreciated that they were able to offer me mocktails since I cannot drink at this time, and those were tasty as well. This experience was worth every penny and I would definitely come back and do it again.

They were not afraid of humans, in fact maybe they were intrigued. Color fish of course. Next went to the Molokai Crater. Waters were a little rough in comparison to turtle town. Extremely colorful fish, reef area was amazing. Best snorkeling experience compared to O'hau , Kauai, and St Lucia . We felt safe the entire time, makes sense since Matt declared he usually takes everyone back .(a joke). Worth the expense, and was happy to tip. Lucia said that people can come to snorkel at turtle town from the beach. (Behind turtle town are 4-8million condos ). Evidently the beach isn't private , so you could come back on your own.
