My family had a wonderful experience working with Mike at the shop. Very high quality rental items provided with a smile and warm hospitality. We will definitely use them again for our next trip to Maui! read more

Super friendly and helpful service! Came here specifically for prescription goggles, great for those who hate contact lenses. $25 for a 2 week goggle rental, $10 additional for the prescription version. Amy helped us find the right strength, with her "Dr Amy" visual chart, just like an optometrist. She had great humour, and suggested some snorkel spots in North Maui we hadn't visited previously as we usually go south to The Dumps. The Snorkel Store also has live beach cams, and each morning at 0800h will email with snorkel conditions. Pretty sweet! Have been to all the other joints, Bob's, Auntie's, but the Snorkel Store is a cut above. Highly recommended! read more

Cody was so nice and super helpful, good guy! He offered tons of great tips on family friendly snorkel spots. He also provided a map and let us know about their daily newsletter which gives you the latest weather conditions for popular spots each morning, including live cams. They have high quality gear and offer great deals on snorkel gear as well as beach toys. The only issue I ran into was that my new fins caused a painful blister. Even after I came back to buy the thin socks the next day, it still hurt probably because it was too late after already getting a blister. I wish they had boot rentals to go with the fins. Another bonus was that you could go there to refill your water jugs with their high quality water filtration system for free, which saves money from having to buy water from the store and good for the earth. I would definitely return, but next time bring my own thick dive boots to snorkel with. read more

This place has a cool & super friendly vibe! The employee we worked with was so helpful & nice (and had amazing blue eyes!) We ended up renting snorkel gear & boogie boards and buying some merch since we liked them so much. Plus he gave us a bunch of great restaurant recommendations & coupons! Highly recommend!! read more

Awesome shop, Cody and the other staff were super helpful. They gave great tips on the best places to snorkel. Equipment was great and a good deal. Thanks! read more

What an amazing experience and trip thanks to Scott Boughey who went above and beyond to take care of my family and I by making our snorkeling Adventure easy and fun but also went the extra mile to help with any inquiry we had! Also, we got a free umbrella with our deal and the wind snapped the umbrella top off and they were so cool at the store and although we were ready to pay for it, they said no problem and even gave us a discount on other item's bought in the store! Super awesome place to get all your snorkel needs and then some!!! Also, special toe say's hi! read more

I can't thank enough for this cool place with coolest people that helped us make our first snorkel experience perfect! First signup for the email, the daily report is a must check!! Cynthia is super nice and helpful. She is so patient with our little ones , taught us how to put on the equipment and gave us a detail map that was extremely helpful. Their flexibility about the rental time and fees makes us feel no pressure. I was going to rent for one day and ended up having the whole trip booked. We were able to see lots for fishes and thank you for the map, we went to explore different beaches along the island. This store will not disappoint you! Easy Five Star!! read more

Fantastic! Mike was amazing - so very helpful, friendly, and accommodating! We have a family of 4 who love to come to Maui and snorkel, Mike took great care of us, told us about the best places to go and when, the gear was perfect on each one of us, and the daily Snorkel Store emails updates were suuuper helpful for conditions, safety, and logistics. Extremely recommend! read more

Wow! We had a group of 12 and the guys at The Snorkel Store were able to accommodate us. They set us all up with complete snorkel gear including prescription goggles for those who needed it. We also got a free beach item I.e. chair, cooler etc. for each person. AND you get to keep your stuff for the duration of your stay. The prices were awesome although I can't remember what we paid. (It's been a few months). This will be our go to from now on. read more

Reasonable rental rates on beach gear. Mike was very friendly and helpful He even gave us advice on snorkeling at other beaches.

My first time in the store was back in May 2025. I went with my fiancé my best friend and his girlfriend there was a guy working named Codi goes by Ski guy is an absolute legend. He talked with us for just over an hour told us about all the best snorkeling spots Told us the best times to get out there set us up so we had live view cameras of most of the snorkel spots also set me up on a reoccurring membership for free that sends me the live snorkel report every morning gave me a bunch of coupons to some of the best restaurants on the island and just overall an amazing Guy, I had such an amazing experience which ended up to me going back when I came back on island just recently And had another amazing experience. He helped out with some more coupons. The best prices in the area I mean, you just can't beat it. These other snorkel shops just aren't the same. read more

Cody rocks! Nicest guy and super informative. Have rented here 3 separate times and every time has been easy!

Excellent gear. The friendly knowledgeable service from Cody & Mike & Rob - just doesn't get any better. I'm a retired dive instructor and highly recommend. Super helpful to beginner and advanced with so many tips and helps. The morning Snorkel Report and the webcams gave us confidence about conditions. It's a fun place and we visited them a few times just to check in and say hi. read more

The staff at his snorkel shop were absolutely wonderful and so helpful. They went out of their way to help our family explore options and make sure we were all properly fitted. We felt spoiled by such amazing custom service while on vacation . Highly recommend!!! Mike helped us get fitted, but we felt every person who greeted us there was just as friendly. This store has a water refill station and it was so great to be able to fill up our jugs for free. You guys ROCK! We will be back again. read more

Great guys! Knowledgable, super helpful and an over all great experience. They tried us how to get the best results from our phones for photos and made sure our gear fit properly. They even told us where to go and when for the best snorkeling. We didn't do a tour we just rented gear and they treated us like VIP's! This is the only place we will go for snorkel gear from now on! Thanks guys! read more

The Snorkel Store - Kihei - Turtles at Charley Beach Maui! - Beach Equipment Rentals Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

Great experience! Very helpful and a good deal- set up with all equiptment for snorkeling

This is your snorkel gear store plus extras. That logo got me--hubby had to buy a hat with it. Cody and Michael's hospitality was exceptional! All gear is brand new. Rental items are guaranteed. Exchange something that doesn't fit or quite feel right. They had the Aloha spirit and were patient with our group of 12. They made us turtle ready. I HIGHLY Recommend The Snorkel Store! These guys are the BEST! read more

Cody was so helpful and kind. All the staff was beyond friendly and went above and beyond to assist us!!! Had to come on Yelp and write a review because my husband and I were so blown away by the incredible service and help we received. Thanks guys! read more

The only reason I decided to use this place was because I was looking at the beach I had originally planned on going to that day on google maps and saw this place right across the street. Booking online was super easy. They were running a promotion for 50% off + a freebie. For $67 dollars i was able to rent 2 chairs, an umbrella, 2 full snorkeling sets (mask, mouth piece and flippers), a cooler and I chose a boogie board as my freebie! I'm used to the New Jersey beaches where you'll pay $100 for just the umbrella and chairs! When we arrived at the store, pick up was super easy and staff was incredibly friendly AND informative! We took the advice of Cynthia and went a couple miles down the road to a different beach than the one we had originally planned and had an excellent snorkeling experience! Everything was fitted perfectly! And the reef was just as beautiful and full of life as she had described! Will be recommending this place to anyone who will listen! 10/10 experience! Will be back! read more

This was the perfect place to come for my Maui vacation! Staff is friendly and super helpful, got us fitted with snorkeling gear and showed us all the best snorkeling spots in Kihei and other places on the island. Also the snorkel report was great addition. We checked it first thing each morning. It was nice to have a guide on where to go, taking the guesswork out of whether a particular beach is gonna be good today. read more

had everything you could need for renting snorkels and for a very fair price. Went through and made sure our gear fit/worked correctly and gave us a map of the best spots. cody did a great job and had a ton of info read more

Friendly staff and so helpful! We rented the beach umbrella and snorkel gear. They also send out an email for the weather report so you can find out where to go for the day. Would go back to rent again! read more

We had been debating buying versus renting like so many others, and had wandered into three or so other stores before lunch and were still ambivalent. Then we wandered in here Rob greeted us warmly and charmed us into rentals there. What really sold us was how he outlined sites and routes and gave us all kinds of recommendations for places to snorkel on a map. He asked what hotel we were at and quoted a price that he said was half off, but I'll bet they have relationships with all the hotels so I don't know if basically everyone gets 50% off. He threw in some floaty things we didn't end up using, as well as a 20% coupon for Three's (which has a 20% off with checkin on yelp anyway) that we did end up using. He gives out his cell number with assurances you can call and was just so super friendly and efficient it was easy to go with the flow. That kind of salesmanship you'd expect to see for something way more pricey than $80 of rentals, or whatever it ended up being. We were honestly impressed. Prices are comparable or competitive with other places. Drop off of the equipment was a breeze. Highly recommend. read more

Fabulous snorkel rental experience, quality & value with many extra perks! Staff are sooo helpful and informative. They were committed to help our group get the best experience and perfect fit with the snorkle gear and even had masks to accommodate my glasses prescription allowing me a clear, sharp view of turtles (and more). Great tips on snorklel locations, & daily reports for best conditions through the free app we're all spot on. We learned snorkle and turtle etiquette and had the absolute best experience everyday! I would give 10 stars!! (and I'm picky!!) read more

Josh was so helpful and friendly....not pushy at all. He recommended equipment that fit so well and where to go for the best fish & turtle observations. We've used this shop many times and plan to continue doing so! They're open from early to late 7 days a week. What more does one need?? You guys ROCK! read more

We rented snorkel gear, chairs, and a boogie board from The Snorkel Store. Their staff was absolutely awesome, and they gave us an easy-to-read map with all their best spots for snorkeling detailed and specified to what we were looking for. Their map often lead us south to Kihei or Wailea, which had the best conditions during the weeks we were there. Their staff was super friendly (I needed to exchange fin sizes) and they also rented us WAY nicer quality than the resorts or snorkel trips would provide. I recommend them and can't wait to go back! read more

The Snorkel Store - Kihei - The Snorkel Store chairs and snorkel gear on the move at the Black Sand Beach at Makena Landing. - Beach Equipment Rentals Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

We were comtemplating renting or buying our own snorkel gear in Maui. We purchased some cheaper ones before and they just never worked out well. We decided to give the Snorkel Store a shot because of their good reviews. We also wanted high quality gear. We worked with Rob and he was awesome, so knowledgeable. He mapped out every spot for us to go to. It just so happens that that morning was bad for snorkeling in Kihei/Wailea, so he recommended a spot in the north west zone that was perfect for us (Honolua Bay). All of our gear fit perfectly with no issues the entire trip. I think the best part of the Snorkel Store is the daily report they release that lets you know the conditions of the snorkel spots. We subscribed via email and it was so valuable everyday in Maui. It took about 20 minutes to get our gear, and drop off in Kaanapali a week later took 1 minute. If we ever come back, we will come here no doubt. read more

Saw this shop on yelp amongst many other places and decided to give it a try since it had really good ratings. We came in right when it opened at 8am and Josh was there to help us. First off, he was very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. He answered all of our questions, outlined which beaches would be best to go to for snorkeling to see the turtles, and gave great instructions. Their yelp currently has a "2-for-1" deal on snorkeling gear, which also reflects on their website. We paid $15 each and got a free umbrella rental on the side. So ~$30 for the whole day was worth it because their equipment was extremely clean and the customer service was awesome. We were able to stay around Kihei with his recommendations and return everything with no stress. Definitely recommend, we even got to see the turtles! read more

Robert was awesome! My hubs had found a great deal online to get snorkel gear, and floaties. We had already gone on a guided tour before so decided that we'd like to just get our own equipment and explore. The gear was REALLY nice, much better than when we had gone out with another company. The goggle fit, mouth piece were really comfortable, and the snorkel pipe (?) automatically filters some water out if you happen to get any. Our flippers were also very nice and functional. They lend you a de-fogger, and a mesh backpack that you can also swim with so you can keep all your stuff together. We also ended up coming back to rent an umbrella and a couple of chairs, they were all Tommy Bahama, in great shape. The chairs especially had super functional pockets on the sides, had varying levels of recline, a little head pillow and could be worn like a backpack! Rob was kind enough to go through a map outlining the best places to snorkel and insider tips which were super helpful. They also have a daily "snorkel" report on their IG account (The Snorkel Store) which I checked each day and was informative. They sell quite a lot of equipment that you would need too, like reef friendly sunscreen, after sun aloe, phone/tablet waterproof cases, rash guards, aloha wear, etc. The renting and returning process was very easy and straight forward, they also have a lot and parking right in front of their store which was never full. I strongly recommend them! read more

This place was amazing, the lowest price you'll find, and the gear was top notch. With the instructions they gave us we were able to snorkel for the 1st time and swim with the turtles. Rob was incredible and really knew his stuff. read more

If you need anything in Kihei, Maui, Rob at the snorkel store is your man! He is one of the managers at the snorkel store that's probably the happiest employee I've ever met in my life. He loves to help people enjoy the best of Maui. Is very professional, knowledgeable and gives a free insight into best local secrets whether it's snorkelling, scuba-diving, or swimming gear that they have to offer. I went both the times after the store was closed on 5:30 and 6 PM, Rob was still very happy to help us and took care of our needs. he made reservations for snorkelling trip and had to call multiple Vendors as it was all booked up for the next couple of days, the second time we went back for shaved ice, again he was happy to make amazing shaved ice for us despite the store been closed read more

The Snorkel Store - Kihei - Beach Equipment Rentals Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

Rented my snorkel gear from this spot while we visited maui- the staff was very helpful & picked out a mouthpiece and hair guard for my rental mask/snorkel that came in handy. The guy who helped us made some great recommendations for spots along the south & west side that we loved! As an unexpected bonus another staff member came by & gave us a small taster of the shaved ice from next door (delicious) n they even gave us B1G1 50% off coupons to use at some point when we wanted full sized shaved ice While on the south side we followed the recommendation & skipped the over-crowded big beach, going further down to the lava rock reef which turned out to be epic & not crowded at all! Loved that they have multiple locations that allowed me to return the gear on the west side before leaving :) read more

The reason for five stars is definitely Rob the manager. Very professional and knowledgeable. Prices were very competitive with everyone else but the level of service is why I would definitely recommend them over other rental shops. read more

Trust the reviews of this place! This is your first stop on the island. Rent your gear, buy discounted tickets to the aquarium and most importantly...get any and all info on where to go, what to see, where to eat (sometimes with coupons), how to snorkel, and how to be safe in the water. It is literally your one stop shop for FUN. Kevin is an amazingly warm and knowledgeable sales guy who will give it to you straight about anything. He greets every single person who walks in the door and if you're just there to quickly grab something he'll stop what he's doing to get you on your way. Kevin gave us great dining recommendations and we just had the best meal so far into this vacation and at the cheapest price! The Snorkel Store is where to go and if you're lucky enough to get Kevin working that day - you're set. read more

This store should get 10 out of 5. Kevin and Rob at the Kihei location were awesome getting my Ohana fitted, showing us where to snorkel, recommending some awesome restaurants and booking us the best price we could find for the Te Au Moana luau. They are 110% ZERO pressure on everything amd their prices are ono. They mean it when they say they offer concierge service too. We managed to crack a fin and there were no questions or costs just a new fin. Thanks to the boys at The Snokel Store we discovered Makena Landing, Five Graves, Honokeana Cove, Napili Bay & more. We lobed the gear so much we bought ours for the next trip back! Mahalo Kevin & Rob read more

Excellent service from the staff at the snorkel store. A well deserved reputation as one of the best rental locations in the area. Glad that we did the research to find these guys. Quality, clean, functional equipment that is worth renting. Give'em a try! read more

The best customer service experience we had while visiting Maui. Friendly, thoughtful, patient. And they give a great deal on the gear. We had tried the Aria full-face masks a few days ago -- it was problematic. This time we tried the normal type -- goggles and breathing tube -- and had a much better snorkeling experience. They suggested fins and we're glad we got those too. They provided a map to show us the best places to snorkel. I also bought one of their "Hana Tonics" (ginger drink) for my Road to Hana windy drive the following day, and was glad I did! Worth trying if you get motion sickness. Will be back to this store when we visit Maui again! read more

Rob is awesome. The Snorkel Store just knows how to treat customers well. On top of that, they are really knowledgeable about the best snorkeling spots, the equipment, as well as other spots in Hawaii for dining, recreation, etc.. It was a fantastic experience (again) and certainly won't be the last. read more

The customer service here is A+, their gear is great, and they also serve ono shave ice! We rented snorkel gear for 5, including a prescription mask for my father-in-law which worked out wonderfully. The gear is clean, like new, and comfortable. We were fitted for everything properly. We had it for a week and used the great maps provided by the shop to scope out great snorkel spots. We live on Oahu and were given a kama'aina rate, which we really appreciate. Wonderful experience. We will be back there next time we're on Maui. read more
