Awesome time!! - Great snorkel trip. The staff was wonderful- very kind, attentive and had all you would need on board. The trip was one of the most organized I've been on. We saw a huge coral reef with lots of fish, turtles and even ran into a large pod of dolphin on our way. Would definitely recommend!!

Great Excusrion - This was a really fantastic morning excursion. We spent about 4.5 hours on the water enjoying beautiful views and awesome snorkleing. We saw dolphins, turtles, and small (and harmless) sharks. The crew were awesome. Friendly, knowledgeable, and experienced. Highly recommended.

So much fun!! Great boat - great people! - Though the day was cloudy and windy, the crew of Magic Merman made this a fantastic, fun adventure! They worked hard to find great snorkel spots with lots to see. LOVED the boat - smaller than the other tours, just 12 people on our outing vs 40 on the other boats. I think the MM boat can do 20 but sooo much better than snorkeling with a big crowd! Sashta, our snorkel leader, was informative, super personable, positive and led the group to some amazing sea life and other finds. Her free dive skills are fantastic and she worked with those that wanted to learn gladly. The "captain" of the boat was also a super positive person who really knew his way around and made each guest feel comfortable and safe! Way better (no offense) than the bigger boats. THANK YOU MM! You rock

Book your tour now, amazing experience and best of Maui - I cannot say enough good things about this experience. This is a five-star outfit! The crew is friendly, informative and professional. From the moment you arrive at the beach until you return, every detail is handled and well-planned. The food was amazing, even for our vegetarians. The snorkeling was first class as was the boat and captain. We saw turtles, sting ray and baby fish and crossed the channel over to Lanai. We loved every minute of our experience. We have been to Maui many times but this was a true highlight.

West Maui Snorkeling tour - Wonderful, knowledgeable crew. It depended on the weather as to where we would go, and we ended up in Lanai. The water there was crystal clear, and there was nobody around. It was a fish nursery. Loved all the colorful fish we saw, and all the turtles at the second spot. We even saw a spotted eagle ray.

Memorable day - Wonderful experience, love that they tailor the locations to conditions for the day- we saw a really beautiful and clear reef off of Lanai and many sea turtles off of Maui. My son was nervous and they were amazing and encouraging as he learned to use the equipment.
They were friendly, knowledgeable, and provided really great service, even giving us ginger candy and ginger ale when we experienced sea sickness.
Well done tour we'll be booking again on future visits.

Magic Merman adventure does not disappoint! - Excellent adventure from the minute we left the beach to boat to in the water multiple times and back. The whole crew was professional, fun, friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable. They think of everything and make you feel welcome and comfortable.
Would absolutely do it again and will be back as soon as possible!
We were even lucky enough to be surrounded by a flash mob of spinner dolphins. 🐬 Don’t think this happens every day but it was incredible!

Can’t recommend highly enough - make sure you book with The Magic Merman - What a fabulous day snorkelling with The Magic Merman. I can’t think of a single thing that could have been improved. Three amazing snorkelling sites (we for one extra as the group was smaller than usual) plus a quick dash to see a pod of dolphins. Don’t book with anyone else if you are lucky enough to be in Maui
