Itinerary
The Maui Afternoon Snorkel Tour is ideal for those that seek a less congested snorkeling experience. We snorkel & slide at the Coral Gardens, a large shallow reef with abundant sea life off the coast of Maui. Snorkel, swim with turtles, and then enjoy our fast 25 foot (7 meter) waterslide. Whale watching, when humpback whales are present January - March, is free while underway to and from our snorkel location. Weather conditions may lead us to snorkel at other coral reefs in the area, such as Turtle Town or the Molokini Crater. It is important to note that we do not deploy our waterslide within the Molokini Crater.

We had the most incredible experience. The entire crew was amazing and kept us safe, hydrated, and happy throughout. I was unsure how it would go with a 3 year old and 2 other kids under 12 but it's was amazing. I even started to feel seasick and they had everything to help! So grateful. 10/10 recommend from the whole family!
Funny captain and helpful crew. Very safe with lots of time to snorkel. The children enjoyed the slide off the side of the boat.
Captain and crew were amazing! Very helpful and went above and beyond to make the trip a wonderful experience. I would recommend any family looking for fun experience to book this company!
Great experience. We swam with fishes and turtles. Enjoyed a great slide and had some wonderful memories and pictures. Wish it was longer and that they took us out to diff spots! The spot our captain chose was great and like I said we did see/swim with tirtles! Highly recommend!!!
I had a great experience with Maui Snorkeling! I took the 3-hour afternoon tour, which was perfect because it started later in the day. This experience had to be rescheduled my due to the approaching hurricane, and the process was smooth and easy. The guides were informative and gave quick lessons on how to swim with fins and how to properly wear the snorkeling gear. They also made sure everyone stayed hydrated during the boat ride. We made one snorkeling stop, and one of the guides stayed on a surfboard monitoring the group for most of the time, which made everyone feel safe. There was a sandwich lunch during the excursion, and the water slide was set up, which added to the fun. There was also a photographer taking photos both on the boat and underwater, giving everyone the opportunity to capture some great memories. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I would definitely recommend Maui Snorkeling!
Poor poor poor! Do not waste Your Money and time for this!!! Just buy a snorkel staff in the first ABC store for 15$ and jump in to the ocean in any random spot, will be better than this..
The crew was excellent. There was very few fish or anything to see where we were allowed to snorkel. When we tried to go into shallower waters to see the fish and coral we were told we can’t go that shallow.
All my worries of going out on a boat with kids went out the door as soon as we got on. The best crew went above and beyond and our family had a blast. 1000 times recommend everyone to book this experience!
We had such a great time on this snorkel trip! We specifically wanted to support a smaller local business, and we’re so glad we did. The captain and guides were absolutely fantastic… friendly, funny, and made everyone feel comfortable from the moment we stepped on the boat. The snorkeling was beautiful, but the giant waterslide was honestly the highlight of the day! Kids and adults were lining up to go over and over again… it was so much fun. The smaller group size made the experience feel relaxed and personal, and we never felt crowded.
It was a fun experience, my daughter loved the slide , Tour guides were so much fun and helpful and safe
One snorkeling spot and then back to the dock. If you’re looking for a quick day, this is your trip. Personally, I could have kept snorkeling at a few different spots. Coral gardens was kinda meh but the crew were great. Lunch was simple sandwiches with pasta salad. Can’t really complain because it is Maui. Anything is better than working.
Such an amazing experience and crew. It was the right amount of snorkeling plus the added fun with the slide kept everyone entertained.
Variety of activities for the one and half hours in the water ... Snorkeling, slide, and jumping off the boat. We got to swim with a sea turtle, which was fabulous!
We had a great time crew got everybody engaged and hyped up to have a great time good music the photographer was very talented
We loved the trip! The crew was great and we felt welcomed and comfortable the whole time. They made snorkeling so much fun with a quick tutorial, taking care of all the gear, and their knowledge of the sport. The slide was a fun bonus! The atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable. They served lunch and a treat! Definitely worth the trip!
39 guests didn't match my idea of a small group. Several times someone swam into me. Inflatable slide takes a long time to be ready and didn't stay available for long.
Boat driver Greg (he doesn’t like the term ‘captain’) was awesome! The entire crew was super nice, made everyone feel safe, and did their part to ensure we had an awesome time. Would 100% recommend this tour!!!
We had an amazing time going to Molokini Crater on this excursion! On the ride over we saw at least 30 whales and the snorkeling there was beautiful, it felt like we were in an aquarium. The captain and crew were all amazing. I would highly recommend!
Terrific captain and crew. I went with my two daughters HS seven and 10 and my dad. Bad Pool noodles and boogie boards that had a little viewer cut out. Lots of options for novice snorkelers and the crew was terrific at spotting turtles, etc. Great boat. Super positive and fun experience. We even saw a whale breach and had a great time snorkeling and riding the slide! Yummy snacks after. All around A+++!
This small boat was the perfect size to get all the TLC needed to bring multiple little kids on a snorkeling trip in the ocean. The boat captain was male but the deck crew was two young ladies and the were the best I’d ever had. Very great experience.
You have three super experienced people taking you out. They all make your trip the best one ever. Not only did we snorkel, we got to stop and observe a pod of humpback whales. Could have gone back in after that awesome experience, but no, we went on to snorkel. Mahalo to the crew.
The captain and crew make this excursion! They are friendly, funny and make sure you’re really safe and having a great time the entire excursion!
We went on the snorkeling tour with captain Paul. He was a naturally funny and laid back guy. You could tell he really enjoyed his work which makes the experience great for you as well. The whole crew was great and helped us to have a fantastic time. Along with snorkeling and seeing a bunch of different kinds of fish and a sea turtle, we also got to go for a ride along the coast of the island. Captain Paul also told us history about the island and also some cool stuff about the different islands of Hawaii. He also shared some interesting insights on the whales. They also provided lunch which was nice. Another unique thing about this tour was that they had the slide which was fun. They also had a photographer who was on board and went out in the water with us. If you wanted to you had the option to buy photos from him which he took of you in the water but there was no pressure if you didn’t want to. Overall it was a great experience and I thought it was a good deal for the amount of time we were out on the water and that we also were provided with a meal.
This was a great experience. The weather was terrible, but the crew made it happen for our group. We got to snorkle twice and we saw at least one turtle both times. The staff was extremely helpful and very nice. We definitely recommend doing this.
Wouldn’t recommend the tour. They simply highlight Molokini crater as one of the spots but we never went there. Even the other spots that they took us were really bad , all I could see was lots of sand when I was snorkeling. Forget turtles, couldn’t even spot any fishes. The spot was so close to the shore that we could see traffic on road from the boat. The “fun” part I guess was the slide and no way is it worth $150. I was not comfortable that day in the water and I asked for a life jacket to be safe which they are obviously supposed to have. I also specifically asked them before the tour. But the host asked me to use some other floating tube which clearly had markings saying not a floatation device. After I refused to go to water without life jacket and lot of back and forth, the host gave me the life jacket. I mean this was just a simple life jacket request and not something crazy out of the ordinary that I asked here. It shouldn’t have to be like this. Very bad experience and totally not worth it.
This was a wonderful tour! The crew were all amazing and extremely knowledgeable. We got local recommendations from one of the crew members which was very kind. The snorkeling sights were awesome. We saw plenty of fish, sea turtles and the beautiful reef under clear blue waters. The waterslide was fun and the food was good! The boat rides in and out of the harbor were smooth and beautiful sights. Thank you!!
Everyone so attentive and friendly. They take care of us all the time. Even watch my wife snorkel. Take you so much!
The crew was so amazing and supportive. The boat driver, Greg I think, was so funny and made me and my friends laugh the whole time. The slide was really fun too. Got to see some pretty fish and a turtle.
The trip was amazing. It was an extremely windy day, so the slide didn't get to come out but the captain let my autistic son drive the boat. They were great teaching him how to snorkel and encouraging him to jump off the boat! We had a group of nine and all of us had an amazing time. Highly recommend this adventure!
Amazing day! Perfect from start to finish! Super nice captain and staff. Fun snorkeling, waterside, great food! 100000/10 day!
Great for the family. Captain Greg was super cool and funny. Good snorkel spots and a nice crew. We loved the snorkel spots
Great crew, just beware the slide. I dislocated my shoulder - it pulls you down fast. But the crew were very helpful and thoughtful. Also, good snorkeling spot - corals were nice
Really fun trip. We had all ages from 2 to 78 with us and everyone had a great time! Greg was an amazing captain! Thanks for a spectacular time!
Absolutely the best! The crew was fantastic ensuring everyone was having a great time. The slide was a hit! Highly recommend this company.
We had a great experience! The crew was nice and helpful. We are first time snorklers and we felt safe and enjoyed the time snorkeling. We saw lots of fish and a spotted stingray! The kids and teens loved the slide too. The crew also caught a fish which was so fun! Would highly recommend!
Genuinely one of the most fun experiences I had in Maui! The crew was absolutely amazing; captain Paul brought so much energy and laughs, I was actually looking forward to announcements! Whitney, Micah, and Danielle were so chill and so kind during the entire excursion. It felt like hanging out with old friends!! And Sarah the photographer on board was AMAZING! Not only did her pictures come out incredible, but she spent time with each person in the water, coaching them on how to get the best underwater shots and pointing out all sorts of neat creatures and seascapes. 11/10 would recommend to anyone visiting Maui who loves water adventures!
We really appreciate the energetic captain and the crew’s expertise, knowledge & wonderful customer service. We wish we could have gone to another site to snorkel but the weather may not have permitted. There are extra purchases available that may be a bit pricey but optional. Overall it was a great experience and food & cookies were great! Thanks for a great time.
Captain Ron was the best! 👍🏽The crew was magnificent. All of the snorkeling gear from shoes, face masks floating devices to make it accessible and as easy and convenient as possible. The experience was wonderful truly a great day.
Crew was very friendly and made our experience memorable. We had our young grandchildren with us and they really provided everything we needed to make it a great day We couldn’t use the slide due to wind which was a disappointment but we understood the safety concerns. All in all a great family activity.
So glad we chose to do this experience and chose this tour specifically. We did the afternoon 3 hour tour which was a perfect amount of time for my 9, 6, and 3 year old. They all went for it even the 3 year old put his mask on and looked under water for a little bit of time. They also had these cool boogie boards that had little windows built in so that my 4 year old could still get a look into the water when he was done with the snorkel mask. I also loved that this boat accommodated a smaller group of people and was more intimate compared to the larger tours/boats. It felt more accommodating and didn't feel overwhelming. Lunch was great and the facilities/bathroom were very clean. The captain and crew were amazing and friendly and had great suggestions to experience the rest of Maui. They also had a photographer to photograph you on the boat and in the water, pictures you would probably otherwise miss out on, and she was very reasonably priced and sweet! I would suggest to book towards the beginning of your stay in Maui in case the weather causes your experience to be rescheduled, so that you have time in your trip to fit it back in. I will definitely be a returning customer when I come back to Maui and hope my kids will be ready for the 5 hour tour by then!
This was a wonderful experience for our family! The captain and crew were amazing and fun and the waterslide was exciting for the kids. The best part of all was snorkeling with the sea turtles!
Very fun excursion eith family being able to snorkel and see the reef was amazing, kids loved the slide and the light lunch that was served was good!
Great experience, friendly staff, and very well organized. The only thing feedback is to make the destination a lot more clear — with all three destinations in the title, it made it hard for me to see which one I booked? Windy day, so less than ideal conditions — but otherwise, would book again.
We had an amazing time !! Great family trip, kids loved it, crew was great and fun! Swam with 3 turtles and we even saw a Monk Seal!(from the boat)
We had a great time and my grandson's enjoyed the slide and snorkeling. The stag was great and the captain really put in a great trip
Our family of 5 (kids 17yo, 15yo, 11yo) had a wonderful experience. It was the perfect amount of time and the crew was fantastic. I would highly recommend to all.
Excellent crew members. They ensured everyone on the boat were comfortable. Slides are cherry on top for not only kids but for adults also.
The best service and hospitality, had a great time on the boat and super fun snorkeling/ sliding down the slide! Thank you to the crew for being wonderful.
Such a great time! The captain and crew were so awesome and funny! The weather was perfect, we saw lots of wildlife including several whales!
