Priding ourselves on small & local, we will go out in intimate groups of no more than 10 (usually less) & roam Maui's top snorkel destination, The wild reef @Turtle Town with our high end gear(no leaky masks!). Our professional guides will guide you while you gently swim with Hawaii's sacred Green Hawaiian Sea Turtles (Honu's), chase tropical fish, swim alongside lush coastlines, and hang out as friends as we enjoy the ocean & snap high quality photos and videos of your crew (free!). First timers are welcomed but you need to be able to lightly swim. We do provide life vests and our guides carry floatation boards and are very safety oriented. We will give a detailed briefing on safety, snorkeling tips and tricks, & do's and don'ts so no to need worry!

It was my first time snorkeling, and this was a great experience! Shelby was our guide, and she made it easy for me and all of us to enjoy this tour. The equipment was also good quality. I highly recommend this tour if you are visiting Maui!

Amazing time in Maui!

Thank you Joe for a great snorkeling venture! We had a great time around turtle town, and Joe was able to make it extremely interactive. The small group made things much more intimate and fun, definitely would reccomend!

Awesome experience

Barbara_H, May 2023

We had a really great time. Shelby was awesome. We were all inexperienced snorkelers. She made sure each of us had our equipment on correctly. She worked hard going back and forth to each of us making sure we were okay. A++ Barb

Fantastic

Genevieve_A, May 2023

We had a fantastic time snorkeling. We were a bit nervous to start and Shelby was so great and patient with the group to get us all comfortable.

Great experience!!

Shelby was awesome, we had a blast. Would definitly recommend doing this. And you get some awesome pictures.

Excellent.

Daniel_r, May 2023

We had Joe as guide. Instructions and rules were clear and concise. We saw 4 sea turtles. An octopus. And a couple schools of fish. Amazing experience and this personal tour was our favorite excursion we did in Maui over helicopter, luau, and the Haleakala sunrise.

A bit scary, but fun.

Trini_O, May 2023

This has nothing to do with the instructor, he was very good. I did not do the tour - it was right from the shore which I did not know, the water was rough and I was headed for a full blown panic attack . My sister threw up during the tour and she said it was terrifying, but loved the sea creatures. I would say not for beginners. She said it was very intense and she was exhausted. The little girl on the tour was also very scared. A little more detail would have been helpful. We came right from checking out of our condo and had no towels, and had to change into our swim suits behind a car. Also, didn't know we needed to leave everything in our car, we had to park far away. Overall, a bit intimidating unless you are very used to the ocean.

Joe was great!

Amanda_M, May 2023

Joe was our guide and he was great! He got great pics and videos of our group. He also found an octopus and a star fish to let us take pics with… as well as several turtles! I wondered why the group I went with wanted to do this tour over doing a boat tour… when we were done it made total since! This was very personable and way better than going on a boat.

This was well worth the...

Laurie_S, May 2023

This was well worth the hour drive from our Kanapoli resort. We saw at least seven turtles and so many fish -- was like swimming in an aquarium. Also, our guide Shelby was great -- knowledgeable, but down to earth and really fun. Do not hesitate to book this snorkel trip!

Great experience!

Laura_G, May 2023

Joe was fantastic and the small group setting was perfect. We saw several turtles and an octopus! Definitely recommended.

Sooo many turtle encounters!

Ariel_L, May 2023

Shelby was great! Equipment was great quality, newer than most other companies. Easy photo/video delivery via airdrop.

SEA EVERYTHING!

David_V, May 2023

By far the best experience! Joe was awesome, found tons of sea life for us to touch. Made sure everyone was comfortable and safe before heading out. Joe took awesome pictures, we loved the one on one time with him that we could not have experienced on one of those boating snorkel trips. Book with him today!
