Hokua Private Boat Charter from Maalaea Harbor - Aloha Blue Charters

Honoring a Final Wish

Reviewed by: Sharon & Family

We recently hired Aloha Blue Charters for a private charter in Maui for our family. This was a special trip to honor and carry out the final wishes of my parents. Captain Larry and First Mate Freddy brought us near their favorite area in Kihei and were very helpful and caring during our ceremony. It was a wonderful and memorable time for our family. Thank you Captain Larry and Freddy!

Paradise

Reviewed by: Nikki

This was a great cruise! The team onboard was extremely friendly and engaging! Cocktail election was perfect and appetizers were on point! Although it gives you the choice to book with kids, I would caution taking kids who are under the age only because the group of passengers were clearly there for a good time. Overall great experience

Hokua Private Boat Charter from Maalaea Harbor - Aloha Blue Charters

Grandkids said this was the hightlight of our trip!

Reviewed by: Vicki and Jack

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

5-Hour Lanai Snorkel Tour, Dolphin Watching & Breakfast - Hawaii Ocean Rafting [May - November]

Amazing snorkeling near Lanai

Reviewed by: Jeannie T.

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.

Also, we were not made aware the food was available. My husband walked over and saw it available.

Incredible views, incredible crew!

Reviewed by: Jillian Godwin

Absolute must do while in Maui. We saw several whale pods, mama whales showing their young how to wave, and excellent views of the coastline and Molokai. The crew and captain were fantastic, high energy, knowledgeable, and kept the drinks flowing. Food was pretty good, definitely go with the short rib! The catamaran was pristine and well maintained. Instructions for boarding and exiting were easy to understand. I cannot express enough how much the 3 of us enjoyed this tour. We keep saying it was an epic day. So memorable and enjoyable.

Whale Watch Ocean Rafting Tour from Lahaina - Temporarily Unavailable [Dec-Mar]

Unforgettable experience

Reviewed by: Jack G

The crew was outstanding, the vessel was perfect for viewing, and the whale activity in late January '23 was second-to-none! I highly recommend this experience to both novice and seasoned whale watchers. Pro tip: if there is any shot at rain, invest in a poncho. Regardless of weather, this trip is definitely worth it.
