I would book with these guys and look no further. Brad and Chris are phenomenal. You can tell they have years of experience. I highly recommend the zodiak, the ride is fast and fun but very comfortable and smooth, no need to worry about getting sea sick. Turtle cove was UNREAL. You’re basically guaranteed to swim with sea turtles, lots of them, and there were no crowds, just our group. The molokini crater snorkel is beautiful. You’ll get plenty of time at each stop. The crew also provided refreshments, a light breakfast, snacks and a tasty lunch. Brad and chris are knowledgeable and kept us laughing the whole time. You’ll love this experience, it gets right to the good stuff!

Patricia_R, Aug 2023
All of it was memorable but the most commendable is how the crew took care of my husband as he experienced some fear and anxiety in giving snorkeling a try. Awesome and perfect attitudes!! 👏🏼👍🏼

Exhilarating adventures, incredible and fun! I love those turtles and different colored fishes in that crystal-deep blue water! Thank you, Brian, Maria, and Esteban! You guys did an excellent job making our trip fun, enjoyable, and safe. I will sure tell everyone about this. Thank you!

Natasha_W, Jul 2023
It was amazing to see the turtles up close. Molokini Crater was beautiful. Crew were great. Very friendly and knowledgeable. A must see when you are visiting Maui.
Great time!
Jacqueline_R, Jul 2023
My favorite part was turtle cove. Our guides provided us with pool noodles which helped me not tire out. I felt safe while snorkeling. Our tour guides (Ryan, Maria and JJ) did a really great job. They were out on the water with us, pointing out when turtles surfaced and even give us some knowledge. Water was choppy at the Molokini Crater during our time there and I did feel some sea sickness but Maria kept checking in on me. We went out from 8am to 11:30ish. We did have to cut our time short at Molokini crater due to weather conditions but not by much. I felt like it was enough time to do everything with NO RUSH. They provide you with muffins, water and soda during check in and later fresh cut pineapple, chips and a sandwich on the way back to port.

Great snorkeling trip off Maui
Jeff_O, Jul 2023
The crew was professional and friendly, the boat was well equipped and shaded, and the snorkel gear was clean and well maintained. Well done!
SO. MUCH. FUN.
Christopher_M, Jul 2023
I’ve done Molokini Crater and Turtle Town snorkel trips before but no one was more fun than this one. Not only did we get to see a bunch of turtles, bottlenose dolphins, coral reefs, fish, etc but we also got to cruise all the way around the crater which no other tour has done. Great captain and amazing crew. Will definitely use Maui Reef Adventures next time I’m here. Highly recommend!
Great family outing
John_H, Jul 2023
Our Capitan and the crews were very friendly. We started the trip by visiting a spot where we snorkel with the sea turtles and when we got to Molokini it was wasn't as crowded and the water clarity was beyond believe. Lots of fish to see by the reef Coral. It was like swimming in an aquarium. I would not hesitate to recommend this company or join them again. Mahalo!
Incredible, must-do, awesome crew
Jennifer_B, Jul 2023
Wow! Just incredible! This was a highlight of our trip! We saw 10+ turtles at the first stop, and then the second stop was even better! Molokini Crater didn’t disappoint! We saw eels and so many other fish that we hadn’t seen yet even though we’d been snorkeling two times on our trip! The crew members (Jenn, Maria, and Ryan) were so kind and attentive! A Portuguese man of war wrapped itself around my hand, and Jenn literally pulled it off of me—rockstar! Maria helped me by giving me some tenderizer and ice. It cleared up in no time. No big deal! If you’re concerned about getting seasick(I was), you’ll be fine when the boat is moving! Stay in the water at the turtle stop as long as you can because that’s when the waves were making the boat move more! I didn’t even take meds, and I never got sick. My children (6, 10) LOVED this boat ride and snorkel stops! Even the refreshments provided were yummy! The boat was comfy with seats, restrooms, and a lovely breeze. This is definitely worth the money! Don’t come to Maui without doing this!
Trip cancelled
John_H, Jul 2023
The trip was cancelled during the first hour due to a medical emergency, will you be providing a refund?
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Yes, a full refund has been issued to all passengers due to the medical emergency onboard. Mahalo for your understanding.
First Snorkeling Experience
Darcee_S, Jul 2023
My fiancé and I had never snorkeled before and this was a great tour for people who were new to snorkeling or experienced! We saw countless turtles, schools of fish and even an eel! The snacks, drinks and lunch provided were also excellent! It was nice to not need to bring anything but coral-safe sunscreen and a towel. Can’t recommend this tour more. Book it and see for yourself! Thank you to Captain Brad, Jen and Estevan!!
Amazing snorkel trip
