Turtle Reef Kayak Tour in Maui - Snorkel with Sea Turtles at Makena Landing & Winter Whale Watching

Wonderful time on and in the water

Reviewed by: Andrew Brown

Had a wonderful time from start to finish with our tour guide John. He kept the trip lively and made it something special with his knowledge of the islands and aquatic life. Captured some really amazing sights of the fish and turtles on what felt like an intimate excursion. Would highly recommend!

Ocean Spirit Sunset Cruise with Appetizers & Seasonal Whale Watching Experience

Nice, short cruise with friendly crew

Reviewed by: RobStl

This is a nice 2-hour sunset cruise. The crew was very friendly and professional while being fun. The appetizers were a little fancy but just ok-tasting. The drinks, too, were ok. There was also live music by a singer who played an instrument. He was pretty good.

Based on our experience, this cruise is suitable for anyone, including for families and couples. We had a mix of both. Everyone had their own seat but we could move about as we wanted during the cruise.

We had a really nice time. The staff was helpful and friendly and overall, we would give it a good review. The musician was awesome and fun and added to the experience, for sure. The food and drinks were just so-so but we still had a good time. Thanks

Molokini Crater & Turtle Arches Snorkeling Tour & Snuba Dive - Aqua Adventures

Snorkeling is so much fun!

Reviewed by: Tessie L

I 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!

Deluxe Molokini & Turtle Snorkel Tour with Breakfast, Lunch & Drinks - Trilogy

Take this cruise and do the Snuba! You won’t regret it!

Reviewed by: Mikey

I don’t want to spoil it, but this was one of the best experiences that we have had in a long time.

- The BEST customer service we have received in years. They were attentive to all of our needs and waited on the snorkelers like they were kings and queens
- We had low expectations for the food, but it ended up being really good
- Snuba was great...I recommend the upgrade
- The atmosphere was super fun, and the drinks at the end were the perfect topper

Long story short ....DO THIS ADVENTURE WHEN YOU ARE IN MAUI

Molokini Crater & Turtle Arches Snorkeling Tour & Snuba Dive - Aqua Adventures

Great crew/ captain. Photographer was a joke!

Reviewed by: Kevin

The 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!

We had a great time aboard Pacific Whale Foundation Whale Watch Cruise. The crew was very friendly and knowledgeable.. the boat was clean, and crew wiped down common areas during the cruise. We all wore masks and social distanced.. I felt comfortable and completely safe. Our Naturalist was friendly and answered all our questions. We saw mothers and babies and some with an escort. We had a wonderful day, the sun was shining and weather was beautiful. I would highly recommend this activity. Making the reservation was an easy process too.Thank you, Hawaii Activities and Pacific Whale Foundation for a memorable day!!
