A Cruise, Turtles, Fish, and Lunch! - The experience delivered exactly what we hoped it would - a lovely boat ride up West Maui, snorkeling for the family, a dozen sea turtles, a couple of sharks, beautiful fish, and lunch. I couldn't have asked for more, especially for the price. Thanks Crew and Captain!

A wonderful experience with turtles galore! - My husband and I took our daughter and our friend and we all had a great time! The crew was wonderful. The snorkeling was amazing- so many turtles and fish! Our daughter loved the slide and jumping from the platform on the upper deck. We saw dolphins on the way back. For the price, it was definitely worth it! If we come back to Maui, we will probably do this cruise again.

Relaxing fun and exciting excursion for the whole family!! - Perfect balance of entertainment, food, drink and history. Very fun trip. Relax and let the crew take care of everything. Very polite and professional crew. You can even take home some of your photos. Kids loved the slid and jump off spots. Gear was top and didn't need for a thing. Will definitely do this excursion again.

Rough surf - Overall a good experience, saw turtles . Unfortunately, the surf/currents were a challenge. Boat had to anchor a ways away from snorkeling area and it was quite a swim to get there. 1 member of our group became fatigued and has to be brought back by crew assistance. Thank goodness they were there. I would still recommend, but watch the weather/surf.

Quicksilver. - Be early. The limited parking is challenging to find. We showed up 30 minutes early and narrowly made it to the boat. The Captain is a jerk. He has no charm at all. My husband had to run to the boat after finally finding a parking spot. In the meantime, I asked if we could transfer to the Friday trip. His answer was, "for a fee." No compassion, only tunnel vision to do his job. I heard another passenger say the directions given sent her away from the right area. Again, no compassion. The photographer was amazing. Nice! Although we did not buy the expensive pictures. One picture costs $50 and the package $125. The boat was clean and well-maintained. The food was ok—hot dogs. Fruit and veggies were great. The stops were nice. Honestly, we have seen more turtles at our hotel than in Turtle Town. Although the rest of the crew was very kind, I would not recommend this trip due to the captain. His announcements were condescending. One crew member said, "you should try working with him every day."

Book a different cruise. - Absolutely no reason to go to Boss Frogs, you stand in line for them to tell you to go to Quicksilver which is at the complete opposite side of Marina. Park by boat then check in.
Make sure you pay for parking!
Staff was not very welcoming, I travel and book snorkeling cruises all over. This one was below average.

Below average trip unfortunately - I went with my 15 year old son to this excursion and while I realize it was $100 a person, I don’t feel like it was a good choice for us.
I think the main issue is they advertise about 3-4 hours but in reality, this includes an hour boat ride each way and really we only got about an hour fifteen minutes total snorkel time.
Also, we could only handle 20 minutes in the water because the current was so strong that it would pull you away from the boat quickly and then the guy on the surfboard would tell us we have to go against the current back towards the boat! This took our energy away quickly. On top of this, the conditions were so cloudy that I couldn’t even see turtles at the bottom because the coral is so deep and that’s where they were hanging out. Saw three turtles and probably missed many more due to geography and water clarity. Only saw one kind of fish yellow tiger I believe they call it. No other fish around this lifeless reef. Too deep of a spot to see any fish imo.
Food was two hot dogs per person and a bag of chips with fruit prior to lunch and juices with bar drinks for $3. Drinks seem like a good deal but I didn’t partake. I believe pineapple was served but it was gone before we could get down there! Hot dogs were basic and mustard packets wouldn’t open unless you used your teeth.
Crew seemed to work hard they would give out the equipment and clean up our paper plates and cups. But I wasn’t in the mood to leave a tip because the excursion itself was below average unfortunately.
The best tips I can give is if you want to pay $100 per person to take an hour ride to your spot where water clarity is cloudy, fish are non existent and turtles are too deep to see, all while swimming against the current and then to eat food that costs probably $5-7 per person than maybe you will like this trip! Sorry but that’s my experience! Resoectfullly.
