The Best Maui Snorkel Trip Ever!!! - Nico and our Captain were so great! We saw humpbacks, a HUGE pod of spinner dolphins right next to our boat, spinning and coming right up to us, we saw gorgeous coral and hundreds of fish.
The snacks were perfect, not too heavy, fresh pineapple and Hawaiian juice and other breakfast/lunch items.
I will definitely go back next time and do it again!!!
I'm so happy that I went, it was perfect weather as well!
Absolutely incredible trip and it was so memorable.
Thank you so much!!!
I'll never forget this!!

Great Day on the Water - Capital Dave and Nico were great hosts. The boat was smaller than most snorkeling boats we have been on and it provided for a great experience. We saw whales dolphins and turtles. Highly recommended.

Good experience - Great day. Saw lots of different fish, though I don't recall seeing a turtle but that's ok. Nice scenery. Fun morning excursion from Kaanapali Beach in northwest Maui. Saw some dolphins. If you have a GoPro but don't know how to free dive, ask Nico or some other staff to record under the water for you a bit. I would say if you like snorkeling, go to Molokini Crater as option #1, then Lanai as #2. I also went to Coral Gardens but I hardly saw any fish so it was pretty boring there.

Fishpalooza! - Captain Dan and Nikko were very professional & personable. They took great care of us. We snorkel in Maui often but Dan took us to two places we had never been. We saw many , many fish, some we hadn’t seen before. They also stopped for dolphins and a breaching whale on the way back.

Great trip! - Our family of 5 went out for the 1/2 day trip to Lanai. Our kids were 16, 22, and 23. We had great weather and calm waters at Lanai fortunately. We stopped at two snorkeling spots on the east side of Lanai and then came back in around 11. We did not see a ton of different fish as compared to the Molokini snorkeling trip we took a few days prior, but we did see more sea turtles there so that was fun! Snacks included donuts, croissants, fruit, chips, and drinks. Crew was friendly. Would definitely do this trip again!
