Joe was an awesome guide! He found us a giant turtle, caught an octopus, and found a sea urchin and a starfish to hold - all while taking great pictures/videos. He made the experience super fun for everyone!
Robbie was very informative and a great vibe. We felt super safe with him as our guide! Definitely recommend this tour!
Robbie explained the snorkeling process well. He kept track of all of us. And found us little critters that were safe to touch. -Kristin
I had a 12 yo with me. Both of us had a great time. We saw turtles and even touched an octopus. We used a snorkeling jet to get to the area. It was perfect since my son wasn’t a strong swimmer. Definitely thumbs up for the excursion. Robbie was an amazing guide!
Absolutely perfect! The guide, Robbie, was phenomenal. He was great at communicating, gave clear instructions and knew how and where to take the group. We saw multiple turtles, but the school of colorful fish, different sizes and shapes was a serene experience.
Great, fun, excellent tour guide. It was fun to swim with the turtles, hold sea urchins and touch an octopus.
Super fun experience. Great for beginners. A few people in our group had serious anxiety. Joe was great at calming their fears. We saw turtles, various fish, and an octopus.
Joe was the best! He made sure everyone felt safe and informed before going into the water, and went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. He found a little octopus for us to get pictures with and sea urchins for us to hold!
What a freaking blast!! I haven’t snorkeled for years, and I was so excited to do it today on my honeymoon. Joe was INCREDIBLE! So instructive and funny and knowledgeable! He made my husband, who’s never snorkeled, and I feel so comfortable. He was communicative and really engaged with the whole group. We truly felt safe under his guidance. Very well organized AND we saw several turtles and got to touch and get pictures with an octopus!! Absolutely unreal! Don’t hesitate - do it!! :)
Worst experience ever—avoid at all costs. Don’t waste your money. There was no boat, and the snorkeling masks were poor quality. A single arrogant guide was completely incapable of managing a group of more than 15 people, but he didn't seem to care at all.
Awesome experience! We saw octopus, turtles and held a star fish. Had a great group and Joe made the time and experience even better. Would absolutely recommend this to everyone and do this again.
Great time. Plenty of turtles and other sea life. Our guide Joe was the best!
Joe was great! Very knowledgable and patient. We saw lots of fish and Turtles! Would definitely recommend!
An amazing experience, we got to swim with turtles. If we ever go back to Hawaii I would do this again
Was a great time. Lots of turtles and marine life. The guide was incredible, Robbie was great with the kids.
There is no boat that takes you out. You swim out. But it is an amazing experience. Do not be discouraged by there not being a boat.
Very nice experience… I can recommend it
Robbie was amazing. We had a small group and some of the elders in the group needed more help and Robbie was very patient and nice to them and made sure everyone had a great time. Highly recommended.
Joe was the best!! Professional, friendly, with the goal of getting us the best possible experience. Good with time management, gave spots for breaks and learning about the ocean life, very knowledgeable about where the creatures would be - their video and photo equipment was amazing!! They provide above and beyond what I ever hoped for!! Thank you for this amazing experience! We will recommend and be back!!
We had an absolutely fantastic experience on the Turtle Town snorkeling tour with Joe! He was incredibly knowledgeable about the marine life we encountered and did an amazing job connecting with our group. Before we even got in the water, he took the time to thoroughly explain the safety procedures and equipment, making sure everyone felt comfortable and prepared. Once we were out snorkeling, Joe went above and beyond to make sure everyone had the opportunity to see the incredible sea life Maui has to offer. He also took some amazing photos for us to bring home and remember the experience! Most importantly, he made us feel safe, comfortable, and at ease the entire time, allowing us to truly relax and enjoy the beauty of the ocean. I would 100% recommend Zephyr Adventures Maui, and if you have the opportunity, request Joe as your guide! He helped make this experience truly special, and we couldn’t have asked for a better adventure!
What an incredible snorkeling tour. Our guide Joe showed us octopus, starfish, sea urchins and so many sea turtles. I highly recommend this tour.
You definitely need to be a stronger swimmer than I and if you are prone to sea sickness, you can get sea sick swimming. Besides that, this was an amazing first time experience for myself. Our guide, Joe, was patient, informative, and over all fun to be around. We saw many different fish and turtles. Would love to try again now that I know how I will personally handle this experience.
My husband and I did the snorkel tour with Joe this morning and it was a great experience! He was very personable and made the tour a great experience. 10/10 would highly recommend to anybody looking for a fun experience in the ocean.
JOE was our guide and he did an amazing job! Highly recommend this tour, especially if it’s your first time or if conditions aren't perfectly smooth! I went solo alongside a large group on a day when the water was somewhat choppy. Our guide was extraordinarily professional and calm under pressure. When two guests decided they preferred to turn back to the beach, he accommodated them with total grace and zero stress. He then guided the rest of us out to see amazing marine life, including turtles and sea urchins. I always felt completely safe and cared for, and I can't wait to go again! If I could give more stars I would. Thanks Joe!
Robbie was an amazing guide for our adventure in snorkeling! He was organized, friendly and compassionate. My daughter and I felt completely safe with him keeping an eye over us and the others in our group. He sent a detailed email with directions of where to meet up, explained the equipment, and made sure everyone was knowledgeable and comfortable with the gear before bringing us out into the ocean. I saw him checking in with everyone throughout the tour as well as looking for sea creatures to share and getting pictures of us underwater! He shared the pictures with us immediately, especially the ones of the turtles! Robbie wears many hats in his job and all were done well! Thank you!
The tour was great for my wife and I who had never been snorkeling before. Robbie, our tour guide, made us feel very safe and relaxed. We saw many different marine creatures including an octopus. Robbie took lots of great photos of us and provided them free of charge. We would absolutely do this tour again.
I had such an amazing experience! Everything went so smoothly, and I felt very safe the entire time. I got to see sea urchins, octopus, turtles, and so many beautiful fish. It was honestly an experience I’ll never forget. It was such a special way to see the ocean and the marine life up close. I would absolutely do this again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience!
Robbie was excellent. Felt very confident in our first snorkel experience with his thorough walk through. Was able to swim above the turtles. Pictures are awesome keepsakes as well.
We saw multiple huge turtles and it was really easy to swim out there. We had a great time and Alex was super nice!
Had a great time. Wife really loves turtles and with the amount we saw the price was def worth it, especially when you factor in gear, photos and a personal guide. The group was a great size, wasn’t too many people so everyone had their respected space. Our guide Alex was goated, super chill dude and made sure everyone was good before we started.
Our first excursion on our honeymoon trip and Rob made it such a memorable experience, and the smaller group with the photos included made it so much more personal!
Robbie made sure we were safe and had so much fun!! He pointed out wildlife when he would see it and also let us hold a baby octopus. He spotted 3 turtles during our swim and made sure to take great photos of us!! He always made sure we were together and safe while enjoying the swim! We will definitely book again!
Robbie was an awesome guide! We were able to see turtles , tons of fish , and an octopus. He made the snorkel feel safe and fun for everyone.
Robbie was an awesome guide , he was very informative and made everyone feel safe along the swim. We were able to spot multiple turtles and an octopus along the swim.
Excellent experience, Rob was a great guide, he explained everything very well. Can’t wait to come back with the kids next time!!
Robbie was awesome! He made sure to get photos of every couple on the trip and was educational but also very fun! He made sure everyone was comfortable in the water and kept checking throughout the trip. We were a little late because of traffic, but Robbie called to check in and was super cool about it. We had an amazing time and the price was a steal especially with photos and video included. Couldn't have asked for a better trip!
No need to worry about your booking details Viator and Zephyr Maui keep you in the know! Robbie our guide was spectacular at assuring you were comfortable with the equipment and kept the group together assuring a wonderful viewing of the turtles and other sea life. I would highly recommend this tour for viewing the turtles.
Robbie was our guide on this adventure and he was awesome. It was our first time and we can’t wait to come back with our kids. Thank you for an amazing time!
Robbie was an amazing guide! We swam out about 1/4mi into the ocean and he helped us all feel strong in this. I can be pretty timid in deep water, but he helped us remain calm and I even got to use the speed scooter, which helped me feel confident in being so far out. Robbie knew all the spots to see turtles and more. Multiple turtles swam ~10 ft in front of us, which was truly a once in a lifetime experience. We got to hold sea urchins, starfish and get some fun pics along the way as well. I cannot recommend this tour enough! It’s an adventure for sure, but so well worth it.
Robbie was a GREAT guide! What I appreciated the most was his briefing before even getting into the water! He thoroughly explained in detail how to use our snorkel and goggles and made sure that even when we were in the water by shore we were comfortable using them, how to breathe, and relax in the water! I have genuinely never felt more safe! It was an absolutely beautiful experience! THANKS ROBBIE!🙏🏼
Rob was great. He was very friendly and knowledgeable of the ocean and its creatures. He took great pictures and videos of my family all while keeping track of several other people. We got to see a couple of sea turtles and got to touch and take pics with several other creatures of the sea. I would definitely recommend him and his services. We had a great a time and made memories that will last a lifetime.
We had our tour with Robbie, he made the excursion awesome! Everything went smooth, he was very helpful and always made sure the group stayed together ensuring safety. We got to see multiple sea turtles! He took pictures and videos of everyone during the excursion which was awesome to get to keep for memories! What a great tour!
This is a great option for people that get motion sickness on boats. You walk straight into the water, no boat necessary. We ended up seeing four or five turtles and an octopus, which was awesome. I would highly recommend booking with this small company! Robbie was great and made everyone feel comfortable with all the gear before we started.
It was great! The water was a little choppy but we still got to see a number of sea life, hold them and touch them. Our guide Robby was fantastic. I am 75 yrs old. He was very helpful with me letting me hang onto the wake board while he pulled me around lol.,So thoughtful.
We had an absolutely wonderful time on our snorkeling tour in Maui! Robbie was fantastic—attentive, knowledgeable, and thorough in explaining all the rules and what to expect. As a first-time snorkeler, I was a little nervous, but Robbie made me feel comfortable. Everything was terrific from start to finish. We saw so many beautiful fish and turtles, and we even got to see an octopus! We also got tons of pictures to prove it and to remember the experience for years to come. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would definitely recommend this snorkeling tour, especially to anyone who may be nervous about trying it for the first time. Robbie made all the difference!

Joe was so informative. We enjoyed the entire experience! 😊
Nice experience and great host. Waters can be choppy, don’t be afraid to ask for life jacket and water scooter.
My wife and I went on our honeymoon to Maui and booked this experience. We’ve never gone snorkeling but Robbie made it so fun, safe, and gave everyone on our trip good opportunity to take photos with multiple turtles, we got a little octopus, and a starfish. 10/10 experience!
