Lahaina Semi-Submersible Glass Bottom Boat Adventure - Maui Reefdancer [CLOSED]

Neat!

Reviewed by: Angela

The overall experience was unique. It was neat to see the ocean floor go by as we moved to the stopping spot. Our guide was pointing out all the fish & telling us the names of them. It was a rocky ride, so be sure to get some motion sickness bands for the journey. There are divers that bring different types of marine life to the window for a closer look which was neat for some things you wouldn't have the chance to see up close.

Fun snorkeling for the first time

Reviewed by: Michelle

2nd time being in hawaii and haven’t gone snorkeling until now. The experience was very exciting especially seeing the fishes and sea turtles. The life guards and the kids were very helpful ! Such a fun couple of hours spent at waikiki beach. I decided to buy my own snorkel gear for sanitary reasons. I want to try it again some time when i get the opportunity too.

2.5-Hour Waikiki Guided Turtle Snorkel Tour, Snacks & Drinks - Holokai Catamaran

Best experience of my life!

Reviewed by: Natasha

This was an awesome experience! I saw so many turtles, which was my only goal in Hawaii. I also saw dolphins in a distance. The guys on the boat were awesome! One of the divers dove down with my camera and took pictures for me of the turtles up close with a respectful distance.

I, sadly, also got seasick on the boat. I had no idea I would get that sick. The hosts were so helpful without making me feel embarrassed. They kept checking on me, bringing me water and lavender oil which helped a lot for the sickness.

I also loved that they were respectful of the turtles as you will get fined if you touch a turtle in Hawaii. They made us keep our distance from the turtles which I really respect and love about Hawaiin culture. They actually care about the Earth and animals.

Waikiki Snorkel with Turtles Cruise with Beers & Cocktails - Ke Kai Catamaran

Amazing snorkeling experience!

Reviewed by: Emily

We saw lots of turtles on this trip. The staff was great and welcoming to our young kiddos (4, 6, and 7yrs old). We enjoyed the drinks after snorkeling and would do it again. We saw tons of turtles ans tropical fish the whole time we were snorkeling. I would definitely recommend them to anyone going to Waikiki.

2-Hour Kaanapali Sunset Cocktail Cruise with Open Bar & Appetizers - Sea Maui

Excellent!

Reviewed by: Dominika

One of the best experience in Maui! Me and my boyfriend had a blast relaxing and watching a sunset. The crew was amazing and chilled. You didn’t even have to leave your place because the girls were all the time checking on you if you need anything from the bar. The drinks were strong which was surprising (in a very good way). The snack was okay and the music playing absolutely the best they could choose for that kind of cruise! I recommend 100%, when I come back to Maui, definitely gonna do that again!

Great Experience, great crew!

Reviewed by: Jflo01

We had a great time with the Manu Kai crew! Our snorkeling adventure was fun and exciting, the process was easy and carefree. We got to see about 4-6 turtles at turtle canyon also tons of fish and had plenty of time to snorkel. The crew is very knowledgeable and accommodating, offering drinks and taking pictures, they also are very concerned with safety and we always felt safe aboard the boat. Overall just an awesome experience! Thank you Manu Kai!

Maui Adventure Lanai Snorkel & Dolphin Watch Ocean Raft Tour with Lunch

Unbelievable Experience

Reviewed by: Catalina

This half-day snorkel adventure was one to remember! Not only did we see schools of beautiful fish at each reef, we were able to swim with sea turtles at the second location. As we were leaving, pods of spinner dolphins surrounded us which was a once in a lifetime experience. The captain and her first mate were friendly, energetic, knowledgeable, and had a fantastic sense of humor! The lunch that was provided was also outstanding! I would HIGHLY recommend this trip to anyone!!!!

We are so glad you enjoyed your Lanai Dolphin Adventure! Thank you for the positive comments on our captain and crew. They love being out on the water and sharing their knowledge and passion for Hawaii with all our guests. Mahalo and come back to see us again anytime!

Waikiki Snorkel with Turtles Cruise with Beers & Cocktails - Ke Kai Catamaran

Go. See turtles

Reviewed by: K. K

Picked up right on the beach. We drove in from north shore and parked in the garage across the street. The boat ride was 10ish minutes to the canyon. Had at least a full hour in the water. There were 7 or 8 turtles right there the whole time. Tons of fish. A few minutes after we got there a few other tours showed up and there were a lot more people but still enough space for all tours. The crew was awesome. This was the best tour we booked this week.

Mana Kai Turtle Snorkel

Reviewed by: Liz

Our family enjoyed the boat ride. It was about 15 min away. The staff was wonderful. I was able to see only two turtles and some fish. That was very cool. The current was a bit strong at times. Glad the staff helped me with their surf boards.
My three kids ages: 4,5,8, had a hard time swimming because the current was a bit strong so they were only in the water for about 5 minutes. The goggles & snorkel equipment were too big for the toddlers. Next time we will pack ours. We did pack the vests for the kids but they do have some available.
They did see some turtles over the surface. Great weather. We did the 2 pm tour. Make sure to pack some nausea medicine, some folks felt very sick.
We liked being able to bring our own food & drinks.

Luxury Ko Olina Sunset Cruise with Snorkeling, Dinner Buffet & Premium Cocktails - Ocean Joy Cruises

Great crew, awful photographer

Reviewed by: Cece

The crew were friendly, but the photographer was no good. Don’t purchase the pictures. They are not worth it. She basically only took pictures of u on the boat, which u can also do with your own camera. When it’s time to go under water, the photographer was too busy snorkeling herself. We had to chase her down for some pictures, but it came out super blurry. At the end when the pictures package were emailed to us, it consists many Google under water sea life images. I’d recommend u bring ur own phone with waterproof pouch, the pictures will be so much better.

Waikiki Snorkel with Turtles Cruise with Beers & Cocktails - Ke Kai Catamaran

Staff (Jay Jay) was taking an inappropriate video

Reviewed by: Andree

We were having a great time on vacation and were looking forward to snorkeling and enjoying some drinks. The staff (specifically jay jay and Noah) were being very unprofessional. They weren’t treating us as if we were paying customers. At first we tried to excuse it as they were being goofy. Then we heard Noah say, “there’s jay jay back at it again,” and he had his phone out recording a video directed towards my girlfriends butt as she was trying to snorkel. This immediately made us feel uncomfortable. We confronted jay jay about it afterwards and he said he was filming Noah but that obviously felt like a lie. This unprofessional behavior brought a burden and discomfort to our vacation. We ended up not drinking as we both felt uncomfortable. We would like to be refunded.

Shark Diving Hawaii - Cageless Pelagic Snorkel Tour with FREE Photos & Videos

Phenomenal, Once in a Lifetime Experience with the Sharks!

Reviewed by: Daniel A.

A heartfelt welcoming by the family team! Loved that they are down to earth, invoke conversation with you, dead serious about your safety and constantly staying vigil of your swim out with the sharks. They constantly checked in with you to see how you’re doing from riding to from on the boat, to swimming in the open ocean. It was great to see the sharks get up close to you to make you a bit alert but nothing I could say was dangerous and a close encounter. I will come back to them for sure!! Island view Shark Dive Tour will be the place I’ll be recommending others to go try. Thank you team for a spectacular experience for my son and I.

Tour guides were great, nice, and informative. Sadly did not see any manta rays on our cruise. They said this was highly unusual but still disappointing to not see any. They offered for us to go back on a future tour, but we were leaving the island and they do not offer any refunds.

Ocean Encounters Manta Ray Snorkel Tour - Sunset & Moonlight Cruise from Kona

I didn't enjoy it but you might

Reviewed by: Denis

We left late and were, as far as I could tell, the last boat to arrive. The place was pretty packed with people from the other boats. The ocean is pretty big so I'm not sure if we were so clustered because there's one particular spot that is best or because of some other reason. For the safety of the manta rays and possibly for your own safety, you don't actually get to swim in the water but rather your entire group are always holding on to a shared flotation device. It's not a good thing or a bad thing but something you should be aware of before signing up.
We saw one manta ray, which was a nice experience. Right after we saw it, the crew packed us up and headed back to the harbor. These are wild creatures so it's not like you're guaranteed to see them but I was expecting the crew to keep us there a bit longer. Anyway, my kids liked it, but I still wouldn't recommend this experience.

Great day on the water!

Reviewed by: Angela

Saw lots of turtles and fish! Boat was clean, safe and well staffed. Bring a hat and lots of sunscreen. Crew of 5 and it was easy to get equipment on and ready. Our group had about 33 which was a lot - made for close quarters at times and a line at the stairs. Crew was quiet and all business … they were likely sick of tourists at this point. Beautiful pictures and scenery. Really nice catamaran.

Maui Adventure Lanai Snorkel & Dolphin Watch Ocean Raft Tour with Lunch

Best trip we’ve ever taken on Maui!

Reviewed by: Ann T

Captain Cary and Shannon are a mighty crew of 2! Cary is a good Texas boy who has lived on Maui for many years… But that Texas hospitality shines through! The man is packed with personality, and genuinely loves his job. He and Shannon both shared so many fun facts and interesting details during our trip. They packed lunch and breakfast for everyone which were outstanding and could not have been friendlier nicer or more accommodating the entire time start to finish! When our original destination was less than ideal he explained to the passengers why it would be in our best interest to go someplace else and he was exactly right! I’ve never encountered more knowledgeable or happy go lucky and fun loving captain. The boat is small so you will have lots of time to interact with Cary and Shannon and he will get more time in the water than on any other cruise. They know where to look for all the things you want to see… You will not be disappointed. If you only book one thing on Maui book this charter!!!
