Snorkel Molokini and Turtle Town from Maalaea with breakfast, lunch, and gear on a catamaran, plus chances for whales and turtles.

“The captain and the crew were fantastic and they did everything they could to make this trip enjoyable for the participants. I have nothing but kind words for them. HOWEVER. Fourteen hours before the scheduled departure, the operator sent us an email informing that the departure time was pushed back 1 hour and the boat became bigger (which they called “upgraded”) due to decreased number of participants. In other words, they combined a smaller tours together and made it a one big group on a bigger catamaran. The decisions were unilateral and we had no option to say no to the changes otherwise our payments would have been forfeited. We…”

9.Maui Snorkeling Boat Tour to Turtle Town Aboard Quicksilver

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 542 reviews · 4 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $99Best value

Quicksilver’s Turtle Town snorkel cruise from Ma’alaea brings you turtles, quality gear, and a waterslide in a half-day value trip.

“I went with my 15 year old son to this excursion and while I realize it was $100 a person, I don’t feel like it was a good choice for us. I think the main issue is they advertise about 3-4 hours but in reality, this includes an hour boat ride each way and really we only got about an hour fifteen minutes total snorkel time. Also, we could only handle 20 minutes in the water because the current was so strong that it would pull you away from the boat quickly and then the guy on the surfboard would tell us we have to go against the current back…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 450 reviews · 5h 30m · from $185

Half-day snorkeling from the Calypso catamaran with two Maui icons, Molokini Crater and Turtle Town, plus meals, safety crew, and clear water.

“We had the best time on this excursion! There were two stops and on the first one, we saw so many different kinds of fish. Different sizes and different colors. It was awesome! The water was crystal clear. The second step is at a place they called Turtle town. We did not see turtles, but a few people did. However, there still was plenty of fish and coral to look at. The crew was super friendly and they worked very hard to take care of everybody and make them feel safe. I was really impressed with them. We had two meals, breakfast and lunch and they were both delicious. I…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 210 reviews · from $200

Luxury catamaran day from Maalaea to Lanai with flexible snorkeling, whales in season, breakfast and deli lunch, plus an open bar.

“Our trip to Lanai was windy and choppy but that did not ruin the experience. The crew was so kind and friendly. The crews first priority was safety and that made me feel so comfortable on our trip. We had to find a calm spot to snorkel which took a while but the crew kept us informed and explained everything. The food was perfect and the drinks kept coming so I was very happy. One of my children got seasick (even though I gave her medicine before we got on) and the crew was so helpful and understanding. They are a wonderful crew and I would recommend this adventure for…”

15.Snorkeling and Sailing Adventure with Buffet Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 115 reviews · from $172

Snorkel Honolua Bay on Gemini, see turtles, then enjoy a hot buffet lunch and open bar on Maui’s west coast.

“The crew was so organized and made this whole operation run very smoothly! The open bar and lunch alone makes the price well worth it. The crew checked in to see what drinks we needed refills on. Talk about full service! We got to see whales during the ride, which the staff made a fun and informative experience! Aside from the amazing crew, the snorkeling was fantastic. My husband and I saw a reef shark, got to see at least 3 sea turtles, and so many beautiful fish. We would do this all over again. The Gemini is a one-boat operation, which impressed us even more. Definitely recommend this experience!Read…”
