“WINDY DAY TURNED OUT GREAT!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 27, 2012 NEW

My wife and I hopped onboard on a very windy morning. We left the harbor knowing things were not looking great for a trip but this was our last shot during vavaction. Captain Dave was honest and told us all that if conditions didnt improve soon, he would turn around, not waste our day and provide a refund. Pretty fair.... More

“Who could ruin Maui?”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed May 22, 2012 NEW

Cap't Dave, starts with a rant about cell phones, ends with a rant about his 'competitors' visiting his snorkeling spots, like he found Lanii. We couldn't wait to get our ears under water. Acts like a 14 year old who took his daddy's boat without permission. We've been snorkeling in Maui and Ohau many times so we took this trip... More

Aloha and thank you for writing a review. These reviews are a great way for us to look at how we are doing. Sadly this review only seems to say you didn't like me. It doesn't talk about the boat , where we went, what we saw, or the quality of the snorkeling. Your comments were directed at insulting me.... More

“Great Adventure!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 13, 2012

person found this review helpful

Captain Dave ensures that fun is had by all while his boat bounces through what we are told to be one of the roughest island channels on earth! He mixes it with a great music belting-out to keep the atmosphere lively and sometimes humourous with sound-tracks from Gilligan's Island, Jaws, etc. Although we were just there for the boat ride...

“E-ticket Adventure”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 8, 2012

This is so much more than a snorkel tour. Captains Dave and Eric go all out to make this the most informative, high-energy day you will ever spend in the islands. The back side of Lanai is gorgeously rugged, with a very interesting history. We were greeted by a pod of spinner dolphins and enjoyed great snorkeling in three unique... More

First of all we really wish we could give this trip 5 stars. We thoroughly enjoyed this trip & while a bit more expensive than others we went with a local's recommendation.  We are very glad we did!  It was an amazing day.  We loved that we stopped at several secluded spots to snorkel that other boats don't go to....

Aloha, Thank you for your review. I am pleased that you enjoyed your trip so much that you wanted to give it 5 stars. Your review reminded me to remind people looking for a trip. Do your research. Check that you don't get sea sick or take measures to insure you don't before getting on a 7 hour trip. I... More
