Snubs Aqua Adventure tour
Reviewed by: Coulter Baldes, 2021/10/19We went out and from the beginning we were hesitant. Adella helped us out in the water and gave us great instructions that eased our fears and we had one of the best times ever. From the time we left the harbor, until we returned it was fun, we had a great time!

Wind & white caps? No prob
Reviewed by: Liz, 2021/10/13Fun experience! Windy on the day we went so we couldn’t go to the crater. Boat is clean. Crew friendly, professional, organized and helpful; prepared us for everything and kept on schedule. The food was alright, kept us fed and hydrated for all the snorkeling.
Tons of fish in west Maui where we stopped. Two spots. We even went to a turtle cleaning station! Saw a honu or two.
We had a great time. Maybe next time we can check out the crater :)

Must do activity with these guys..!!
Reviewed by: Nitin Lakhotia, 2021/09/09A first-time snorkeler with basic swimming experience, they taught us really well how to do it right from basics & also kept an eye to guide us in the ocean. Only regret is they should allow to hold the rope anchored for people who panic in the vast ocean, coz it takes 5-10 minutes for people with no swimming background to get familiar with the unpredictable ocean. My wife was not allowed to touch the rope & she couldn't enjoy snorkeling with us for the rest of the trip. Good lunch & breakfast. Overall they do good if you know a bit. Great locations..unfortunately no turtles.

Sea turtles!
Reviewed by: Jess, 2021/08/02I got to see multiple sea turtles and it was amazing. Staff were very kind, funny, and helpful throughout the activity. We couldn't go to Molokini because of wind which was shame, but I still loved it and enjoyed a lot! Seating at the front deck of the boat was also a pretty cool experience. They also had a photographer! We paid to get the photos and was super worth it. Thank you!

Snorkeling is so much fun!
Reviewed by: Tessie L, 2021/07/04I am not a good swimmer and had never done snorkeling before. The crew was so great and was watching the poor swimmers and was always next to us giving instructions and reassurance. I felt so safe and before I realize it, I was able to swim and snorkel with confidence by myself. I had so much fun snorkeling and enjoying the fishes and nature under sea. It was definitely an amazing experience!

Great crew/ captain. Photographer was a joke!
Reviewed by: Kevin, 2021/05/12The crew and the captain were awesome! The issue that makes this review only good is the photographer. After talking with him in length on the boat that we were interested in purchasing photo package, he stuck to others on the boat for majority of photos. Great honeymoon experience with no photos to look back on!

Molokini and turtle town snorkel/ snuba trip
Reviewed by: Irina, 2017/06/05Everything was great. The team was very helpful, friendly and funny.
We really love Molokini snorkel/snuba site. The turtle town was not that impressive though. We expected to see lots of turtles, but saw only one.

Must do when visiting Maui!
Reviewed by: Margarita, 2017/05/17Hawaii is perfect for snorkeling! I have done it many times before, but I have never had a chance to get so close to sea creatures. Molokini Island is a moon shaped underwater volcano crater and it is one of the most famous snorkeling destinations in Hawaii. Hawaiians take good care of their ocean and have many rules to obey in it and one of them in not to touch anything in the water, which I just loved, you can get as close as possible but still have to respect animals. It is very nice to see that animals are totally relaxed here and would really come close to you if you dont attempt to jump on them. We had an amazing team, we had 2 stops for snorkling and the experience was just magical. Maybe you should consider to take a heli tour around there as well, as the views from above are just amazing and give you a real chance to enjoy the moon shape of the island! I twas a fantastic tour and I totally recommend everyone to get on it!

absolutely worth it
Reviewed by: Sonja, 2014/09/11It was a lot of fun and good for beginners, as I and my husband were. Turned out that snorkeling is very easy! "Just be the turtle!"
Pleasant and funny crew.

Great Time
Reviewed by: John1102, 2014/08/01My wife and I had a great time. The crew was knowledgeable and fun, and they made sure that everyone had a good time. They also had a smaller group of people that they take out, so there really is a more intimate feeling to the trip.

Our snorkel cruise
Reviewed by: Bob G, 2014/06/28My son, and his 19yr old son, attended this. It was well organized but the wind was up and they couldn't snorkel at their desired location. An alternative site was found, the water was much calmer and snorkeling was ok.

Absolutely amazing! A must do activity while in Maui!
Reviewed by: Spencer, 2014/05/05Beautiful, magnificent, spectacular, and extraordinary. Just a few words that come to mind when talking about my experience with this activity. I knew that while I was on Maui, that I wanted to go scuba diving. Unfortunately, you have to be certified to go scuba diving. So, I did the next best thing. I went on a snorkel/snuba diving adventure. Not only was the experience breathe taking, but the instructors, captain, film crew, and the rest of the staff was so courteous and knowledgeable. Any questions, comments, or concerns you have they are more than willing to go above and beyond your expectations to make you feel comfortable. Well worth every penny I spent on this activity. Anyone who is thinking about going snorkeling, should check out this company. They have amazing customer service which is hard to find. The snuba adventure is unlike anything I've ever tried. You get the opportunity to swim up close and personal with all kinds of sea life. Highly recommend spending the extra money to go snuba diving.

crystal clear at Molokini
Reviewed by: newbie to scuba, 2013/12/17It was my first time snuba diving. Molokini was crystal clear and we could see everything. After the snuba dive we were allowed to snorkel some more. We then went to turtle town. I think the corals were spawning. The water was not very clear. But we did see some more turtles. On the way back we even saw some whales.
Wet suit and the second snuba dive price were not included in the voucher. I wish hawaiiactivities would collect these added fees up front rather than we pay in the boat.

Superb Crew Hospitality & Premium snorkeling spots in Maui
Reviewed by: O&Y, 2013/05/05The Crew aboard the Aqua Adventure are 2nd to NONE. Each and every member was awake and energetic at 6:30a and very hospitable from the moment we were in line reading the waivers. They were very respectful and helpful in every manner; they safely stored our shoes then firmly held our hands and arms to help us securely board the boat and engaged in getting to know us as they picked out the perfect snorkeling gear sizes for us. The Boat as well as Snorkeling instructions from the Captain were very informative yet personable with some light humor. At both snorkeling spots 1-2 of the crew members voluntarily guided us to the best snorkeling spots if we wanted to follow and showed us the largest sea turtles we have ever seen as well as an octopus and a starfish! The boat speaks for itself with the 2 350hp Cummings Diesel engines that made powering thru the fast wind from the North a piece of cake. Other tours had to take a much longer detour to get back due to the lack of horsepower

A good time
Reviewed by: Ali & Ian, 2012/08/24For those who have never scuba dived this is a good introduction. Water was a little choppy, but staff were great in explaining what you could and couldn't do and where you could and couldn't go. For those that suffer from sea sickness should definitely take something before going, but all in all a good 1/2 day tour to do

Magical Day
Reviewed by: Kelly, 2012/01/16Our family of 4 enjoyed this trip so much! We had a bit of trouble finding the boat (not the marina) due to construction and limited parking, but once we walked on board, it was fun and relaxing. The people are terrific and you can tell they love their jobs being on that boat-very friendly and entertaining. Breakfast muffins, bagels, fruit and coffee were available as the boat took us out to Molokini (about 30 mins.) and an enormous whale leaped right in front of the boat! There were many more to be seen that day but it want an exciting start. Molokini was not overrated! Underwater Discovery Channel complete with tons of colorful fish, strange anemones and even a purple jelly fish. It was so beautiful against the wall of the crater. I swam back to the boat quickly to buy the $25, reusable underwater camera because it was so magical. The pix came out great! My 7 year old was nervous at first b/c she'd never snorkled, but the crew worked with her 1-on-1, made her laugh, gave her a noodle

Great Adventure
Reviewed by: Bob Bosso, 2011/11/16We have been on three or four other snorkel trips in Hawaii and this is by the far the best. The ship is in excellent condition, and the skipper and crew were friendly and knowledgeable. They made it a wonderful time for all on board! They even stopped during their regular trip to show us spinner dolphins (twice) and an early season whale.

Incredible experience!
Reviewed by: Elizabeth, 2011/11/01This is a Fantastic way to spend 1/2 of a day. The crew and Captain couldn't have been any nicer or more informative. The ride out to the dive/snorkeling site was fairly short, and the snorkeling was awesome. My husband really enjoyed the snubbing, I tried, but was unable to actually do it, the instructor tried her best to help me, but after several attempts I decided to stick with the snorkeling, which worked for me, because as I stated, it was awesome. We saw lots of beautiful fish. The second site they took us to had several turtles, and even more beautiful fish the closer you ventured into the coral. They provided a nice lunch, and continental breakfast. I had booked this activity a month or so in advance, and was really looking forward to it...I was not disappointed.
