    Itinerary

    We keep you busy but relaxed while showing off Maui's best snorkeling treasures.

    • First you'll check-in at 6:15am at the Kihei Boat Ramp. Depart by 6:30am. We start early to catch the beautiful sunrise over Haleakala from Molokini Crater. This is a magical experience that shouldn't be missed. By being early to Molokini, we also ensure that we see the most unique animal life before the larger and louder boats send them away from the morning calm.
    • Next we'll make our way to Molokini for at least 2 snorkel stops and a visit to the back-wall. This is captain dependent as sea conditions vary from day to day.
    • Next, we're off to find dolphins, turtles and monks seals. All are endangered, so cannot be guaranteed, but we are good at finding them.
    • Then its back to Kihei Boat ramp in time for your group to enjoy a savory lunch at one of our favorite lunch locations. Returning to the dock by 1130am.

    Captains Jen, Doug, and Eleni run a genuinely special operation here. What stands out most is how naturally enthusiastic and knowledgeable they are—guests consistently mention feeling less like customers and more like they're exploring with friends who genuinely care. The intimate boat size means you're not fighting crowds, and the captains have the flexibility to visit multiple spots (often five different locations) where you'll encounter sea turtles, colorful reef fish, and during winter months, whales whose songs you can actually hear underwater. The homemade banana bread has apparently achieved legendary status. Families and first-time snorkelers appreciate the safety-focused approach and welcoming vibe, though one guest noted that beginners might need to be more vocal about requesting help once in the water, as the crew tends to give experienced swimmers more independence. The typical five-hour tours hit highlights like Molokini Crater and Turtle Town, with captains adjusting routes to avoid crowds and maximize your time in pristine waters. If you're looking for a personalized, knowledge-rich experience rather than a packed cattle-boat tour, this crew delivers consistently excellent days on the water.

    So I really debated doing this. We could snorkel from shore right? Incorrect. Having someone who knows exactly where to go is invaluable. Jen and Eleni were fantastic captains and guides for the day. They have the timing down so perfectly. We got to Molokini ahead of most other boats and by the time it was getting crowded we’re headed to the back side. The turtles were incredible and we also saw an eagle ray! They got some fantastic photos which were all included with the trip.
