Maui
Everything was great, exactly how it’s described
The timing, the staff, the photographer on board and under water was great, we saw the turtles, and dolphins, loved it
Take early time so u will be done by noon and you have another half of the day to do more or rest
My kids were excited to be in the water, they were little too small for snorkeling (4 and 2 years old) so didn’t snorkel
My husband loved this boat ride so much, it made me so happy!
Thank you for choosing the Four Winds!
Really fabulous afternoon on the water. We loved the boat and the fish we got to see!!!
Thank you for letting us know about your experience! We hope to see you again.
Our meeting was at 7:30 AM, and when we arrived, there were many participants gathered, which really got us excited. Once we reached Molokini Island, we quickly went snorkeling. It was the clearest water I've ever swum in (though I don't have that much experience). My partner was snorkeling for the first time, but they gradually got the hang of it, and we both enjoyed watching the fish together. At the second spot, we were thrilled to encounter a sea turtle swimming by. Eating a hamburger on the boat while battling the wind was also a great memory. Even in August, I felt a bit cold towards the end of our swim, but it wasn't cold enough to need to borrow a wetsuit. It was a tour that was definitely enjoyable for snorkeling beginners!
朝7:30の集合でしたが、着いてみたら参加者がたくさん集まっていてテンションが上がりました。モロキニ島に着いたら早速シュノーケリング。今まで泳いだ海の中で(といってもそんなに経験があるわけではありませんが)一番透明度が高かったです。相方は初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが徐々にコツを掴み、2人で魚鑑賞を楽しめました。2か所目のスポットではウミガメが泳いでいる姿にも出会えて感動でした。船上で風と戦いながら食べたハンバーガーも良い思い出です。8月でも泳いでいる最後の方は少し寒さを感じましたがウエットスーツを借りるほどではなかったです。シュノーケリング初心者にとっては充分楽しめるツアーでした!
Great boat, friendly crew and good for kids.They Provided a nice lunch and drinks and had a beautiful Bottom boat viewing for little ones. This boat wasn’t overcrowded like the calypso which I appreciated. I would go again, the only thing I would have liked was to go to two locations but that wasn’t in their program, which I chose. Overall great day!!
Mahalo for joining us!
Wishing the conditions on Molikini were a bit better
Thank you for joining us!
Really fun day with a good amount of space on the boat! Didnt feel any type of sea sick
Thank you for the 5-stars!
Can't say enough good things about the day with captain Turtle and crew. The crew was so attentive and fun. The breakfast and coffee that was served on way out to island was delicious. What really impressed me was that the crew remembered everyone by name thru out trip. The island of Lanai was as beautiful as the pictures. On a personal note I'd want to thank the crew especially Steve. I had an accident in the water and had to be taken to hospital. Steve went with my family and never left. Fortunately I was able to travel back and take boat home with captain Turtle. The boat and crew were amazing. If you want to book a trip to Lanai I strongly recommend Trilogy with captain Turtle.
I could only see two types of fish, but there was enough time for snorkeling. It’s better to rent a wetsuit for $10 per person since the water temperature is low and you can’t swim for long, but I was right not to rent one. I was able to swim for the entire time, which was great. My 8-year-old daughter had the most fun. The hamburger was also filling, and my grandmother was happy that we chose this activity.
魚は2種類しか見えなかったが、シュノーケルの時間も十分。一人10ドルでウェットスーツを借りた方が良い、水温は低いから長い間泳げないと言われたが、借りなくて正解でした。時間いっぱい泳げたので、良かったです。8歳の娘が一番楽しんでました。ハンバーグも食べ応えあり、このアクティビティを選んで良かったと祖母も喜んでました。

Thank you for choosing th Four Winds!
- There were about 40 participants in the tour, with people from various countries.
- I joined alone, but the staff and other guests frequently chatted with me, which was enjoyable.
- In chronological order:
- We gathered at the meeting point at 6 AM for reservation confirmation and boarded the boat.
- Breakfast included a mountain of fruits like pineapple, grapes, and oranges, along with sandwiches, coffee, and juice, all of which were very delicious.
- Since we were on a boat, there was a slight sway, but I didn't feel seasick at all.
- Just to be safe, I only had a little fruit and coffee for breakfast.
- The water quality at Molokini was very clear, and I was able to see various fish.
- Turtle Town had slightly lower water quality than Molokini (maybe it varies by day?), but it was still a beautiful sea, and I was able to see about 10 turtles right in front of me.
- The guide sat on a surfboard nearby to monitor us, allowing us to enjoy snorkeling safely and securely.
- For lunch, sandwiches, cookies, juice, beer, and simple cocktails (including Mai Tais!) were provided on the boat, and on the way back, I felt free to eat without worrying about seasickness.
- During snorkeling, the staff called out to us, and I was able to purchase beautiful photos taken with an underwater camera, which I received via email.
- Regarding these photos, you can either buy one or all of them, and if you buy all, you'll receive photos of all the guests taken that day... meaning your own photos as well...
- Don't worry, photos are not taken unless you want them. While I felt a bit anxious, it seems you can also rent a GoPro here for a fee to take your own pictures.

The crew was amazing, and the snorkeling was great. I was scared at first but they did their best to make me feel comfortable and they were so patient and kind. I’m so glad I got to experience this with This particular group. They’re passionate and knowledgeable and paid attention to everyone’s safety. Highly recommend renting a wetsuit jacket and an underwater camera from them. Well worth it!
One of the best experiences on our Maui trip
Mahalo for taking the time to share your experience with us! We hope to see you again soon.
So amazing!! We loved every second of our snorkeling adventure. Our local guide made us feel very comfortable and made sure our safety was his top priority. We will never forget this trip!!
We Truly Appreciate your 5 Star review for our guided Sea Scooter Tour off shore at Kapalua Bay. We take pride in making all our guest feel safe and to especially have an Amazing Experience with us. No other ocean activity company on Maui provide the Airtime Watertime Flotation Wetsuits which we fill is the safest way to snorkel for non experienced guests. We have donated 37 of these flotation wetsuits to the handicap and with our guests supporting our business it allows us to do so. Warmest Mahalo
The boat is an afternoon ride so it is pretty hot, but the second you get to jump in the Maui waters its all worth it
Mahalo for joining us!
Kids enjoying the toys that the boat had to offer, lunch was delish, and we got to see plenty of different sea life! A win all around for the family-- not to mention great price point.
Mahalo for joining us!
Smaller boat which we liked a lot compared to our past experiences, food was a delish balance to splashing around the water!
The Catamaran was well maintained and clean. The food was excellent and drinks were excellent.
Aloha Joey,
Thank you for your kind words about our morning snorkel excursion aboard the Alii Nui. We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed the food and drink options and that our crew was so attentive to your group. We love knowing our guests get to see all that Molokini has to offer. We look forward to having you back out with us.
Mahalo nui loa & a hui hou kakou!
(Thank you very much & until we meet again!)
Amazing experience , great crew. We were able to see 3 turtles which make it so special the tour
Thank you for joining us! We hope to see you again.
Crew was entertaining and extremely helping in making the trip safe and fun, wil book again on our next trip
We were visiting Maui for our 50th Wedding Anniversary and celebrating with our 4 children and spouses and 7 Grandkids - 16 total. We wanted a small boating trip that would accomodate everyone's individual ideas of a snorkeling trip - not too long, too many people, too choppy, etc. Then I found Aloha Blue charters online, it sounded perfect. They had a 2 hour private afternoon boat trip available for a reasonable price for the whole boat. Our Captain Larry and assistants Jeren and Sienna were a delightful team that made our trip very memorable. 13 of us were in the water for a little over an hour enjoying the underwater sealife and the others watched and enjoyed themselves on board. I would recommend this "customized" trip (2-4 hours - snorkeling, sightseeing and/or fishing) to all families visiting Maui that don't want what is offered on most of the more expensive trips advertised. We will book again on a return visit. Thanks!, Vicki and Jack
The clear water in Maui was so nice and we saw so many local island fishy!
Mahalo for joining us!
Too many people for the size of the boat. Hot dogs (what can I say). Afternoon is a snorkel near to the coast that is accessible from shore (not their fault except the say they will try to go to Molikini when there is zero chance in the afternoon). Best advice is to get up early if you really want a good snorkel experience and find a boat the is not so crowded.
I can't recommend this trip enough. We had a fantastic boating experience, the snorkeling was wonderful and the crew was the best. They went above and beyond and really worked to make the experience a special one. And the food was excellent, too. My wide and I had truly amazing time.
Captain Jill, Silas, and Jen provided an amazing trip, complete with hundreds of spinner dolphins passing the boat along the way to Lanai.
The snorkeling near Lanai was incredible, with crystal clear water, beautiful coral, sea turtles, spotted eagle rays, huge schools of fish, and a baby octopus! My family and I could have stayed in that first snorkeling spot all day! All of us would highly recommend this trip. The captain and crew were knowledgeable, professional and fun. It was one of the best snorkeling trips we have ever taken.
Mahalo for snorkeling with us! We're so glad Jill, Silas and Jess were great host and you had an awesome experience with marine encounters! Mahalo for joining us!
Barbie is an incredibly knowledgeable and experienced guide. She also makes sure you feel comfortable and prepared in the water. The scooters are easy to use, and I highly recommend paying a bit extra for the floatation wet suits (for ease and extra warmth in the water) and the go pro for must have videos!
We thoroughly enjoyed snorkeling with Barbie! We saw numerous fish, bright coral, turtles and a monk seal! It was a memory to last a lifetime. If you are inexperienced, do not hesitate to take this tour!
Aloha Christine and Jason and Warmest Mahalo for your Amazing 5 Star review, Congratulation to you both on your Anniversary and support Lahaina. Video taping the Monk Seal at Kapalua Bay was the first time in my 40 years of snorkeling. It felt like this beautiful Monk Seal loved having his video taken the way it stayed around and taking it time swimming from coral to coral and even coming to the surfaces. It seem to be very curious and the sound of the sea scooter didn't even make it leave. Even filming the sea turtles and sea life doesn't and hasn't make any difference in the ocean. Thanks to you both we all got to experience a very unique adventures. Truly appreciate you taking the time to write this review for us.
An unforgettable engaging experience! The whole crew was personable, entertaining, helpful, just good people that really love what they do!
Food was great! They made enough for seconds for everyone. The boat ride and snorkeling experience was great. A lot of fun. I recommend this experience if you want to have a personalized trip with great people!
Mahalo for joining us! If you wouldn't mind sharing what would have made this a 5-star experience, we would love to know!
I was disappointed because there were fewer fish than I had expected. On the day of my visit, there were no Japanese staff present, but the staff were friendly, which was nice.
思っていた以上に魚影が少なく、期待外れでした。
当日は日本人スタッフもいらっしゃらなかったのですが、スタッフはフレンドリーでよかったです。
All communications were clear and team was very helpful! Great guides! Beautiful views! Several whale sitings!
Gorgeous day on the water, I liked how this one goes all the way over to Lanai versus Molokini area!
Everything that we expected was delivered. We had a great time and saw so many whales on the way over to the snorkeling area. We spent just enough time in the water to not get bored or overwhelmed. Would definitely do it again!
