Snorkeling Luxury

Reviewed by: Michael Morrow , 2022/08/11

This is by far the best snorkeling trip I have ever been on and I have been on many!!!The staff was caring and worked so hard on helping everyone!!! The food was excellent and fresh and plentiful all day like lots of food!! I cannot praise the captain and the crew enough they were all very hard working awesome individuals!!! If you ever plan to go snorkeling do not waste your time picking any other boat besides this one there is no better boat or crew!!!

  • This is the second spot turtles

Luxury Molokini Snorkel Cruise with Breakfast, Lunch & Open Bar - Alii Nui Maui

Wonderful Experience!

Reviewed by: admoore, 2022/07/16

Our family truly enjoyed this snorkeling trip! We've been on several and this was the best yet! The crew was super nice and took very good care of everyone on board. They fed us breakfast, a snack and lunch and it was all very good. The snorkeling at Molokini was wonderful and at the end of the trip they raised the sails and we sailed for a while. Such a pleasant experience - we'll do this one again if we come back to Maui!

Molokini Snorkel Tour & Swim with Turtles Cruise - PacWhale Eco Adventures

Perfect snorkeling cruise with breakfast and lunch provided

Reviewed by: Susan, 2022/06/11

The best snorkeling cruise at two different sites. Molokini and turtle town. Did not disappoint either sites. Lots of fish, sea life and coral at Molkini. Then on to turtle town which also did not disappoint. Turtles and fish abound. One turtle even came to surface for air while we watched. The staff is amazing, knowledge and very helpful. Pacific whale foundation cruises give back their profits to benefit the sea life. I highly recommend.

Once in a lifetime experience!

Reviewed by: Sonali , 2022/05/14

Absolutely loved it! The crew was super helpful with showing us how to snorkel, and giving us tips to make snorkeling easier so we’re not working as hard. This was my family and I’s first time snorkeling and it’s an experience we’ll remember forever! Thank you to the crew for giving us an amazing experience! From the helpful classes and underwater picture availability, to the helpful crew looking out for us, I’d definitely do this again!

Maui Turtle Snorkel Tour from Lahaina with Seasonal Whale Watching - Quicksilver

Not good experience

Reviewed by: Naveen, 2022/04/19

Hi, we were group of 8 with 4 kids (1-infant, 1-5y,1-8y, 1-12y). When we booked this tour, it was not mentioned that kids(12 year old kids) knowing swimming also need a adult company. As the adults doesn’t know proper swimming, our kids also couldn’t enjoy much and totally upset on the tour. We didn’t expect the tour like this with too much of crowded and no one is able to support everyone in the group to have basic experience.

Luxury Molokini Snorkel Cruise with Breakfast, Lunch & Open Bar - Alii Nui Maui

In love with this company!

Reviewed by: Angelina23, 2022/04/06

What an amazing tour! The breakfast buffet surpassed any boat breakfast I have literally ever had, and I was not expecting that at all. Afterwards you hop in the water and swim at the first dive spot, and that is nothing short of breath taking truly. Molokini Crater is something everyone should see. The lunch is super delicious too, and the crew just makes the trip 10000/10 times better. Cant thank you guys enough for this amazing trip for my friends and I and I can't wait to be back. Strongly thinking you guys are the bests company around so far.

Maui Turtle Snorkel Tour from Lahaina with Seasonal Whale Watching - Quicksilver

Not what I thought

Reviewed by: Amber, 2022/04/03

Based on the advertisement, I was expecting a smaller group size. Also “lunch included” was hot dogs. The boat next door was preparing food for fresh barbecue when we were loading, we were hoping it was for us but no such luck. I noticed a lot of the other tours had a device for hearing the whales sing under water. We didn’t hear that. And finally there was a dolphin guarantee and we didn’t see any. The whales we saw were pretty far away.

The crew though was nice, helpful and patient, and got all 5 of my kids to snorkel even when one was very hesitant. It was hard to keep track of my kids in the water because there were so many people in the water too.

Comments from activity operators

Thank you for your review. Due to the layout of our vessel we are unable to BBQ. I do hope the kids liked the hot dogs though. We do have the hydrophone for listening to whales but we do not deploy it on the afternoon snorkel trip unless we encounter whales close to the boat. We do use it on our whale watching trips where we are able to get closer to the whales. The dolphin guarantee is for our morning snorkel tour that goes to Lanai where we frequently encounter dolphins. The afternoon tour is Lanai or Turtle town. We can't guarantee dolphins as we don't always make it to Lanai. I am happy to hear your family did enjoy the crew and overall you had a nice time.

Thank you.

Molokini Snorkel Tour & Swim with Turtles Cruise - PacWhale Eco Adventures

Great snorkeling cruise!

Reviewed by: Anh, 2022/03/11

This was a great snorkeling cruise that also supports the Pacific Whale Foundation. In total we had about 2 hours of snorkeling time at two different locations (one being Molokini). We didn't get to see any sea turtles but there were plenty of fishes and coral reefs. You'll get a light breakfast and lunch provided. We also saw a lot of whales since it was whale watching season.

Reviewed by: DMB, 2022/01/08

The staff of this tour are great, from the moment you get picked up until the end. The food is great and the boat is really nice. My only issue was that the waters were quite choppy at the molokini crater and it was not the easiest snorkel experience.

We had a great time!

Reviewed by: Ash, 2021/11/27

Staff went above and beyond to enhance the experience for everyone involved. We came across two pods of whales and a pod of dolphins, and the staff used their marine biology experience to educate us on what we were seeing. The water was warm, safety was prioritized, there were multiple head-counts conducted by multiple staff members, and we were fed and entertained. Overall we couldn't've asked for more.

Luxury Molokini Snorkel Cruise with Breakfast, Lunch & Open Bar - Alii Nui Maui

Best Day in Maui

Reviewed by: Laura Connell, 2021/10/05

The crew of Alii Nui was incredible! They treated us like royalty while aboard their vessel. From the delicious breakfast and lunch with open bar, to the sunscreen and fresh towels, to the cooling eucalyptus towel and sunglass cleaner upon arrival back to port, they thought of every detail. I’ve never seen a crew work so hard as a team and make it look effortless, all with a smile and servant attitude and total engagement. Truly a pleasure meeting each of you. And the snorkeling was absolutely beautiful! We saw turtles and beautiful fish of all kinds. Captain Trent was so knowledgeable and knew the best places to go to see the beauty but avoid the crowds. And Savannah, thank you for capturing the underwater photos of us that we wouldn’t have been able to get. Thank you so much for the amazing day! I highly recommend this excursion!!

Amazing snorkeling with sea turtles trip!

Reviewed by: Sarah G , 2021/10/04

My number one goal while in Hawaii was to see a sea turtle in the wild and boy did this trip deliver! There were about a dozen sea turtles right where we jumped in the water and would come close and just hang out. It was truly incredible! The boat crew were awesome and made sure we had everything we needed. 10/10 would definitely recommend!

Molokini Snorkel Tour & Swim with Turtles Cruise - PacWhale Eco Adventures

The best snorkel adventure we’ve been on!

Reviewed by: Derek VW, 2021/09/22

Let me start by saying that this entire experience was fantastic. Captain Chris was delightful, his crew was kind and informative and the boat itself was top notch. We were lucky enough to see plenty of tropical fish, bottlenose dolphins and three different sea turtles. We felt safe the entire voyage and it was the perfect amount of time on the boat and snorkeling for the average tourist. Would absolutely recommend! Plus it’s for a good cause, what more can you want!

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

Reviewed by: Mikey, 2021/06/20

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
