Hawaii Nautical - Maui

Hawaii Nautical delivers consistently excellent experiences according to travelers who've sailed with them. The crew stands out as exceptionally friendly, attentive, and skilled at making everyone comfortable, from first-time snorkelers to those worried about their fitness level. One 65-year-old beginner praised how the staff helped her feel at ease during her first snorkeling adventure, encouraging others not to let age hold them back from bucket list activities. The trips offer great variety and wildlife encounters. Guests regularly spot sea turtles while snorkeling, and whale sightings are common during season, with some lucky groups also catching glimpses of dolphins. Even when whales don't breach or appear, the crew's knowledge and attentiveness keep the experience memorable. Many visitors enjoy the tours so much they book twice during their Waikiki vacation. The sunset cruises get particular praise for stunning views and relaxed vibes, with some even including casual fishing opportunities.
