Great crew, food and fun. Guided ride along the coast with narrative very enjoyable. Snorkeling okay, too many boats and swimmers makes it feel overcrowded, but can't fault QS for that. We were lucky and saw a moray and turtles up close. More

We enjoyed the "Quicksilver Ma'alaea" snorkeling cruise out of Ma'alaea Bay in May 2012. It was a great snorkel trip. We saw humpback whales along the way, and the captain explained the life cycle of whales. Captain Allen was knowledgeable and humorous as he guided us along Maui's south shore (Wailea, Makena, etc), giving us historical and geological information as... More

Friendly Captain and Staff make for a great experience. My first time snorkeling and I was very comfortable. We were taken to two locations. First inside the remains of an old volcano and second to swim with sea turtles. Food and drinks were served and the Captain and Crew came on the radio periodically and narrated Maui facts and points... More

They say getting there is half the fun. With Captain Allen and his crew it's true. Even with Molokini and Turtle Town being great to snorkel at the trip over and back made the experience. All the crew were very helpful and seemed to really enjoy being there with us. You can rent an underwater camera onboard and have a... More

Overall had a great time. The crew was great, very helpful with instructions for us first timers. This cruise takes you fairly far out into the ocean so beware if you are prone to motion sickness. More

The places they take you for snorkeling are very good, turtle town and Molokini. We had a chance to see the turtles and evan swam next to them. We even got the photographs from them and they were very good. However some members in the crew were not helpful. We could not swim and needed some help in the water... More

We did the morning Molikini snorkel trip, and it was a lot of fun. We started with sun, but then ended up with some clouds by the time we got to the snorkel spots. Still, the water at Molikini is the clearest I think I've seen. The captain and crew did a great job to make sure everyone was comfortable... More
