Excellent tour. Other tour booked for a few days earlier with another operator was canceled and we found this immediately available in a couple of days. Well organized wih good guides, nice food and drinks. Parking situation couldhave been better as we were searching 30 min. for it prior to the start of the tour in the wee hours.

Absolutely incredible! My friend and son (age 5) decided to try out snorkeling. Although my son was a little hesitant the crew made his trip. Ms. Ashley was amazing. Each crew member specializes with an ocean animal. They had so many facts they shared. We were lucky enough to spot some whales on the trip too! I couldn’t recommend this tour enough!!! Also I learned it was a non profit. So money spent goes towards research and keeping our oceans safe for the wildlife. It was absolutely incredible. Do yourself a favor and check it out while in Maui!!

Amazing experience! Snorkeling was great. We saw so much! They understand the wildlife and we learned a lot! Especially on the mini snorkeling tour with one of the scientists. The food is also great. You get breakfast, lunch, a free drink, and dessert.
