We had Kerstin and Sergio as tour guides and they were both wonderful! It was a great trip! They taught us plenty of good stuff, showed us amazing snorkeling spots, and really helped everyone to have a great time! It was a smaller boat - which made it even more fun! We went super fast on the water and had an amazing time!!

Makai Adventures from Lahaina

Gerald_S, Apr 2023

Kevin and Julia were fantastic. We sighted whales and the same pod of dolphins twice. Great snorkel spots. At the end of the day saw a whale calf and Kevin waited patiently knowing the mother would appear. And she did swimming at the surface for a few minutes with her calf. Great experience. Highly recommended and will definitely book them again when I am back in the fall

Response from Host, May 2023

Stoked to hear we have gained a repeat guest and a new member to our Makai Ohana! Excited to see you again in the fall!

I imagine the tour itself...

Allison_j, Sep 2022

I imagine the tour itself is fantastic, but unfortunately we didn't get the opportunity to find out, they were short by 2 to have a full trip so they chose to cancel on the rest of us. I understand it isn't cost efficient to go without a full tour but if more than half have booked it seems like going makes more sense, but what do I know.

Response from Host, Sep 2022

We are sorry we were unable to take you out snorkeling and hope to do so in the future! Being a small, local and family owned business, we are forced to make some tough calls on cancelation. We have come up with the absolute bare minimum passengers we can take out for each trip (8) given the current economic state, and unfortunately only 6 guests out of a normal total of 18 were booked on the day of your tour. We do everything we can to ensure our trips run and hope you can experience how great they are in the future!

Snorkeling fun

Best snorkel trip we’ve taken

Diane_S, Oct 2021

We stopped at three different snorkeling spots. Each one was unique and it seem better than the last. The crew is casual, fun, and attentive. The food was outstanding.

Response from Host, Oct 2021

Mahalo for the positive review, Diane! Sounds like your snorkel trip started off great and ended even better! We hope to see you on Maui again in the near future!

Unforgettable experience

Bea_K, Oct 2021

We had a blast and explored the most beautiful snorkeling spot (mala ramp) with a ballet of sea turtles and different fish. Amanda and Kevin were very knowledgeable and fun to spend 6 hours with and took us to 3 different spots. Highly recommend

Response from Host, Oct 2021

A "ballet" of sea turtles sounds like our kind of show! We are so glad you enjoyed your snorkel tour with Amanda and Captain Kev. They're both amazing at what they do and I'm glad they shared an awesome day with you and your family. We hope to have you out with Makai Adventures soon!

Good times

Jim_E, Aug 2021

Great crew & locations we stopped at to snorkel. Lunch was provided and met the need. Boat ride on the way back was great

Response from Host, Sep 2021

Thanks so much for choosing to come out with Makai Adventures! We hope to take you snorkeling again on your next visit to Maui!

Sergio and Jenna rule

Thomas_H, Aug 2021

Sergio and Jenna crushed it. The water was rough and they still found us some great places to snorkel with great visibility. We saw a pile of different fish, an eel and an octopus. Jenna dove down and got some video of the octopus for us because it was too deep for me to do it. We also hung out with a monster pod of dolphin on the way back to the dock. Great stuff!

Response from Host, Aug 2021

Captain Sergio and First Mate Jenna are the best! So stoked Jenna was able to get that footage for you! We hope you come back out with us on Makai Adventures on another epic adventure soon!

Amazing Tour

David_L, Aug 2021

We had a great experience on this tour. The guides were excellent and took us to three amazing snorkel spots. I would highly recommend.

Response from Host, Aug 2021

Mahalo for supporting our small family owned business! We hope to have you out snorkeling with Makai Adventures on your next visit to Maui!

Superb Snorkeling!

Renae_B, Aug 2021

An absolutely amazing day!! Totally recommend this adventure! Captain Kevin snd Sergie, were Completely professional, attentive, experienced, and fun!! Snorkeling was fantastic at three different, and unique locations! With the powerful, quick boat we were able get out to further reach locations. Snorkeling was superb! (Octopus, two large Morlay eel, dozens of varieties of fish on the beautiful coral reefs.) Highly recommend!!

Response from Host, Aug 2021

Mahalo Renae for taking the time to write us a stellar review. Weʻre so glad to hear you had a great charter filled with wild life. We hope you come out with us again!

Such a great time!!

Lucas_M, Jul 2021

This was the highlight of our trip. We had the best day! Makai did an amazing job with making everyone feel comfortable and safe. The food was really good and it was so nice to have such a small group of people snorkeling.

Response from Host, Aug 2021

Thank you so much for the great review! Weʻre so glad you enjoyed the food and snorkeling! We hope you come back out with us again the next time you are on Maui!

Best snorkle trip to Lanai

Leslie_B, Jul 2021

Amanda and Sergio were wonderful tour leaders. They are clearly very experienced with the boat and all things water. We felt very safe and well cared for. They were very gracious and kind when we arrived late (mistake on my part). We sent our fastest runner to the dock to find them just pulling away. They redocked and allowed us to quickly board. They (and the other guests) could have been rightfully cranky by the 10-minute delay we caused. But everyone was cool, and, of course we apologized to the crew and to the guests. Great experience, great food, great service. Oh, and Sergio is definitely easy on the eyes!!!

Response from Host, Aug 2021

Aloha Leslie! We are so glad to hear that Amanda and captain Sergio took 5-star care of you and that you were able to make it on the boat for the charter! We hope you come back out with us again soon!

30’ Whale Shark!!

Pamela_M, Jul 2021

Sergio and Jenna made the experience so awesome. It was like hanging with friends. The most memorable experience was the 30’ whale Shark that swam right up and kissed our boat. It’s was an experience we will never forget.

Response from Host, Jul 2021

We wonʻt forget that awesome whale shark experience either!!! Thank you for choosing Makai Adventures, we love what we do and glad you enjoyed your time with us!

Treated special

Romarico_L, Jun 2021

The crew were awesome. They were very warm and made everyone feel safe. The ride back to the shore was very rough because of the water but the crew were so wonderful to give us a short break. He slowed down and left the motor in idle halfway through to allow us to stretch before continuing on our ride. As far as the corals and fishes, there are better places I have snorkeled before with more vast and colorful sea life than this but the crew's professionalism made this experience wonderful. Thank you.

Response from Host, Aug 2021

Mahalo for your review, Rick! Iʻm so happy that the crew took great care of you and ensured your safety was on the top of their priority list. We hope you come back out with us on another charter the next time youʻre on Maui!

We loved it

Ellen_C, May 2021

Great trip with congenial staff. We liked the smaller boat with fewer people. Fun dolphin sightings and good snorkeling.

Response from Host, Aug 2021

Mahalo for your review! We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed our small boat tour. Hope to see you out with us again!
