The snorkel store is a professional and authentic store, and I am thankful for how concise and great they are. They are extremely thorough in explaining how snorkeling works, and are very explicit to the bone. Additionally, their customer service is impeccable (shoutout to Steve) with even providing the daily scoop of whee to spot sea turtles. (We got to see 5!) All in all, they have cost efficient gear and great customer service, and I sincerely hope to come again and best wishes. -Nancy read more

Thank you Lisa! Stopped in today because the grandkids wanted to snorkel for the first time. We could not have had a better person help us prepare Zoe (8) and Cillian (6) for their first snorkel adventure. She made them feel excited and confident to put on their snorkel gear and get into the ocean. She set them up with a mask, fins, and a floater and shared with us the best place to see fish, and they did! I had already checked out The Snorkel Store website which is very informative and amazing. Signing up for the newsletter got us a discount, yay! Besides the snorkel gear we rented three Tommy Bahama beach chairs which are great because you can wear them down to the beach as a backpack. One less thing to carry. Before we left Lisa said, "Let me get you a bag of sand toys for you to enjoy after you're done snorkeling." This was so fantastic because grandchild #3 was in the car with Papa and the sand toys were an absolute hit. We will definitely make sure they're washed and returned with the all the other equipment tomorrow before 5:00pm. If you need any type of beach gear, this is the place to go! We will definitely be back again when we're on the island. read more

IMHO This is our mainstay snorkel rental store. Customer service is above and beyond. The staff want your snorkeling experience to be epic and they make sure you have all the equipment you need or want and that you know how to use it properly. One can also purchase snorkel wear and shave ice there! read more

This place is a must stop! We rented chairs and an umbrella for our Little Beach excursion. After going one day and loving it we wanted chairs and an umbrella! Highly recommend. We got a discount from the snorkel report, 50% off so $30 for everything, we also got sunscreen. This shop has everything you need for the beach! We will be back! Thanks Mickey!! Oh and he also got us "Turtle Ready" I wish we would've known about this earlier. We already went to two of the restaurants!! read more

Rented their flotation belt online with a promo code for one day. Picked it up and Cat introduced us to the Snorkel Report. We ended up keeping the belts for 3 days because the report wasn't good that day and we went to the Road to Hana the next -- but only used it for one day. Upon returning, we were greeted with a smile by Cat again, we told her what happened and after talking to a manager, she only charged us for our original 1-day reservation. Awesome customer service for real! Thank you Cat & The Snorkel store! read more

The Snorkel Store - Ka'anapali - Honolua Bay - Beaches Near Me - Lahaina, Hawaii

This place is legit. The people are so nice and you can go online and get a coupon for savings. Our umbrella broke on the first day and they just switched it out no problem! Rent from them- the resorts are a rip off. read more

Ana was super helpful in getting us equipped with our snorkel gear! We rented three sets of snorkel gear and had a choice of floater, chairs, or boogey boards as a free add-on to the rental. The entire process was smooth, and Ana recommended many locations that she personally enjoyed, which we checked out. Thanks to her advice, we saw much more sea life at Airport Beach than Black Rock, where we initially intended to go. The return process was similarly easy, and we dropped off our gear on the way to the airport. Super smooth and helped by wonderful, friendly staff! read more

Easy to make online reservations. Solid, quality equipment. Flat rate for 3 to 10 days Personalized fitting and advice on great snorkel areas in the ocean Nice people Recommend: highly recommended read more

The Snorkel Store - Ka'anapali - All the gear - Beaches Near Me - Lahaina, Hawaii

Family-owned and just celebrated their 14th year anniversary on July 4th. This shop has great gear, newer and in great shape. Clean shop. Really thorough going over the gear and fitting. They supplied maps, tips, email access to snorkel conditions. This is a good place whether you are a regular or new snorkeler. They added a float ring at no cost! read more

We got excellent customer service from Cat! She got us all set up with the right gear and made the entire process a breeze. We would recommend this store purely based on how professional she was. And the professionalism didn't stop there. We wanted to return the safety floats we rented since we weren't using them. They allowed us to do the return and refunded us for the days we weren't using them. Overall, seems like a good business that hires exceptional people. read more

Great prices Great customer service Great products They made the entire process quick and easy They had "See" Turtle prescription goggles that made a huge difference for me. read more

We have rented here a few times. We loved the equipment we rented. The staff is so knowledgeable about the places to go and we used the snorkel map every day. We loved your daily snorkel report email to give us the up to date information. Best snorkeling experience of all time. read more

Fantastic! Set us up for the best snorkeling experience ever. The salesman was informative, friendly and fun, and made sure we get the perfect fit and knew where to go. The gear is top notch, I thought we'd have to pay extra for the quality of gear we got, but, nope, the rate was dirt cheap. My wife got a "prescription mask" for $10 more that made all the difference for her. Returns were easy. If I could give ten stars, I would. read more

We were recommended by a family we met at the hotel to visit here for rentals. We honestly brought snorkels from home but were suggested to rent floaters to help conserve energy when we snorkel out in the ocean. So thankful for their recommendation, we came here and it was such an amazing experience. * the staff know exactly what you need - they don't convince you to get more stuff. Just what you need for the kind of snorkel you're doing * thoroughly explained to us all the fun places to snorkel and guided us with the map where to go and where to even park * showed us the water ratings of each shore !!! We were personally headed to another beach but the staff notified us that currently they have rough waves!! Such a relief we visited this shop. Really helped prepare us newbies of what we need to do for snorkeling. Loved our experience here! Must visit!! read more

The Snorkel Store - Ka'anapali - Snorkel store outside - Beaches Near Me - Lahaina, Hawaii

If I could give 6 stars I would. The people here are super friendly and helpful. They took their time to make sure the masks and fins were fitting correctly. The gentleman who helped us provided us with a map to show us where to go and gave additional information about different spots. He also had a tablet that he used to show the different snorkeling spots in greater detail and told us where to swim at the different spots to see the most sea life. read more

My wife and I rented snorkeling gear and Ana helped us along with giving us lots of information to have a great time! She was so kind and went the extra mile giving us tips. Such a pleasant person! Great business that everyone should look into for renting beach gear! read more

We had a fabulous experience!! Jonathan took great care of us, he was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He gave us great recommendations about snorkeling and local places to visit. The equipment we rented worked great for us, and we could not be more pleased with our experience! Highly recommend! read more

Amazing experience. Came into the store and were fitted for snorkeling on the first day for a seven day trip. Received amazing service and guidance. Immediately went out to the recommended spots and we saw multiple sea turtles on the first day (including this big guy) using their expertise and advice. We had a gear issue on the first day and we came in and exchanged it without question. Super awesome and super professional. They come highly recommended. Awesome experience and awesome service makes for an awesome Snorkel Store. read more

The Snorkel Store - Ka'anapali - Turtle at Black Rock - Beaches Near Me - Lahaina, Hawaii

How this place only has 4.9 stars is beyond me. Definitely deserves 5. Rented a floatation device for our 5 year old for 5 days and the service they provide is everything and more. Not sure of the guys name at the location near Ka'anapali (maybe the owner), but super good energy and friendly. Our son started with a puddle jumper but the next day wanted to switch for a life vest, and zero issues. They had me come down and 2 minutes later I was on my way. They had a special for $20 for the week which is crazy cheap in my opinion and worth not having the hassle of bringing our own. This shop had a shave ice spot in it too and had killer shave ice! What a gem of a snorkel store in an area that has many to choose from. read more

When visiting Maui, you will most likely want to go snorkeling. You also don't own any snorkel gear. That's where the Snorkel store comes to the rescue. We rented the fins, mask, floatation device, two beach chairs, an umbrella. The rental grants you access to the snorkel report daily email to let you know where the best place to snorkel will be for that day. The staff was friendly and made the whole process seamless and pain free. They almost give too much information but it's not a bad thing. We are noobs so everything was brand new to us. We rented everything on Monday and returned it all the following Sunday. The return process is easy even with the store full of customers. This really made our vacation special knowing we could snorkel at any location during our trip. read more

This is the place to get all of your snorkel gear! Such great quality products and service. They know all the best spots to see fish and turtles! read more

I give the folks here at the snorkel store at 10 out of 10 for the shaved ice with the ice cream on the bottom. If you have 20 minutes to sit down and relax at a table and eat the shaved eyes, you won't regret it it's wonderful. So cool and refreshing and sweet, enjoy read more

Really nice team here. We rented three float devices, snorkels and flippers and an Rx snorkel mask and chair. Easy to get all done. We texted the team with a question and they responded within minutes. Very friendly and easy. Thx! read more

Pick up, drop off and prices as well as the awesome service. I highly recommend. Easy access to the shop

This review is for the Shave Ice inside The Snorkel Store. Leah who served us was fantastic! She made the whole experience super fun. It was our first time trying shave ice in Maui, and she made it memorable and walked us through the process of ordering with humor and grace. Great place to come with kids! read more

I don't leave a lot of reviews, but I had to chime in and say what a fantastic experience we had dealing with The Snorkel Store in Ka'anapali. They really did "fit" all my family members with appropriately sized masks and fins. Lisa spent a ton of time with us explaining the different snorkel sites and showing us how to use their website to check on the site conditions and parking. When we hit the beach, the masks were great and did not leak at all. When we went on a snorkeling boat tour, we followed Lisa's advice of bringing our Snorkel Store masks and using the tour company's fins. It was great advice but also evidence of the quality of the Snorkel Stores' equipment. Their fins were great, the cheap fins provided by the tour company hurt our feet and were hard to adjust. (It was still good to use the tour company's fins due to logistics.) The tour company just handed everyone the same mask, and you could see it was poor quality. Additionally, we rented these "flotation belts" for my wife and I who are not the best swimmers. These were a game changer!! It was half the work of snorkeling and increased out confidence and enjoyment by 10 times. Amazing! In addition to all this the snorkel store rental prices seemed very reasonable and the attitude and service was top notch. If I am back in Maui, the Snorkel Store will be my first stop! I would give them 10 stars if that was an option! read more

Turtle ready! Jonathan took time to get us the right gear including prescription goggles. They also have good merch, swim shirts, trunks, sweat shirts, etc at fair prices. Well lit store with space to move around. read more

Went in for snorkel equipment. We were treated very well and were able to get everything we needed plus instructions on how to use everything. I recommend read more

We actually had snorkel gear.. but the chairs umbrella and cooler were too good of a deal to pass up. Plus Lisa was too awesome to chat with and shared so much good info. read more

2025 REVIEW: Once again, The Snorkel Store was simply the best option for our snorkel needs for our recent trip to Maui (April 5-19)!!! The Staff are phenomenal (both during pick up and drop off of our fins)! They take the time to connect with their customers, get you fitted, and ensure that your visit to (and snorkelling on) Maui is wonderful. They also provide you with a fish index card, a map of the best places to snorkel on the island and even mask cleaning liquid!!! Their online pricing is also wonderful with great promos to make the rental of snorkel equipment very affordable! We also sign up for the daily Snorkel Report when we are on island to ensure that we choose the best sites for snorkelling. Thank you for always being the best!!! Mahalo, Lisa and Drew :) (My 2024 review is below and YELP only allows an update rather than a new review hence this 2025 reflection. :) ) read more

Hands down, the best store we've ever found to get your snorkel gear. Whenever our travels take us to the ocean, we will always go snorkeling. This store far surpassed any others we've been to. The snorkel gear they rent out is good quality, and they send you off set up for success. We ordered our gear in advance online and got a 2 for 1 deal, so when we went to pick it up, they were all ready for us. They even provided us with a net bag and anti fog spray, which was a nice bonus. Staff here are so wonderful! All so kind and friendly and work hard to make sure you get the most out of your snorkel time. Their store provided a daily Snorkel Report, which gives grades on a 10 point scale to Northwest, Ka'anapali, and South Shores in regards to snorkel quality with specific breakdown of which beaches to visit. While we were in the shop, they recommended us to Kahekili Beach Park, and it was one of the best snorkel adventures we've ever had. Water was so clear, perfect views of the coral and fish, and we even saw 5 turtles during our time in the water! Hands down, no question, this is the shop to go to if you're looking to rent snorkel gear. read more

Very friendly, good deals. Steve was great, extremely helpful, and the equipment was first rate. We purchased a handful of other items too and prices were reasonable (for Kaanapali that is). Will definitely return in the future. read more

Your place is one of a kind, and Steven is amazing!! Thanks to you, we had a great time snorkeling.

Back in October 2024, I rented a board and snorkel from The Snorkel Store in Ka'anapali. My wife and I took a trip along the Road to Hana, and I ended up using the board at Koki Beach Park. The board I rented was great, much nicer and more premium-feeling than others I've used in the past. The next day, when I went to return the gear, I realized I had accidentally left the board at Koki Beach. I was worried I'd have to pay for losing it. But when I explained the situation to the staff, they told me, "It's okay, you don't need to pay. People in Hana need boards too, so they can enjoy them, don't worry about it." I was genuinely touched by their kindness and understanding. It meant a lot to me, and I'm incredibly grateful. The people at The Snorkel Store in Ka'anapali are truly kind and generous, definitely the kind of people you want to support. Mahalo! read more

Really great experience with this company on our Sept. 2024 trip to Maui. We hadn't snorkeled since 2006 and the woman fitting us gave us a refresher course. We found their coupon for 1/2 off and paid @$35 each for fins, snorkel, anti-fog liquid and two carrying bags. We went snorkeling 3 times and had a blast finding all the fish shown on their fish card. Make sure to get a shave ice from them too. read more

High quality gear at a fair price! Colin took the time to teach us how to use it and make sure we knew where to go. One of the friendliest and most knowledgeable experiences I've had anywhere! read more

Ok, so reserve your stuff online, head in, talk to the helpful folks, and leave with what you reserved. Simple, no? Yup!

So many wonderful things to say about this place. My family and I rented snorkel gear, chairs and a beach umbrella - and it was so well-priced!! Anna was the store employee who helped us, and she was SO friendly and also SO knowledgeable. She recommended a few bays that we try snorkeling in (Kapalua, Nāpili) and also gave us advice on where to park. She was so wonderful. She also gave us a "fish card" so we could identify what fish we saw when we snorkeled. Go to the Snorkel Store and make sure to see Anna!! read more

Outstanding first-class experience! Jonathan was incredibly knowledgeable and patient while fitting my wife and me with snorkel gear. The pricing was fair and reasonable, and the complimentary daily snorkel report was an excellent added bonus. Highly recommend! read more

GREAT STAFf! So modern and clean location and the shaved ice are the BEST! Very knowledgeable and quick to help. read more
