There is nothing more that can be said than "absolutely outstanding" for the staff of Alii Nui and the experience of snorkeling Molokini. Everyone knows that Molokini is a wonderful experience, great snorkeling. So I won't go into that too much. But there are A LOT of outfitters that go there, and I was unsure of which one to pick....

We wanted to go for the sunset dinner sail on our anniversary night, but as they only offered them on Tue & Thur,we had to adjust. But anyways, not sure if it is the weather or the location that brings out the best in everybody we met in Maui. The captain, crew, other passengers on board were all fantastic. Great... More

Of all the catamaran snorkel trips, this one is the best....beautiful clean boat, 5 star service and food (breakfast and lunch and snacks are included), and of course, the sailing and snorkeling is amazing! They also provide wet suits, which is a bonus and keeps you from getting cold while in the water, and also protects you from the sun.... More

My husband and I decided to take a snorkel trip, and the Alii Nui was recommended. The boat was clean, comfortable and looked brand new. The staff was pleasant, helpful, knowledgeable and could not do enough to see if you needed anything. Breakfast and lunch was great also plenty to eat. We loved our Snorkel trip. We would recommend this... More

Based on reviews and recommendations from guidebooks, I was convinced to go on the Trilogy sail excursions and snorkeling. Alii Nui came highly recommended from our hotel staff, and now I know why! This trip was absolutely amazing. Our hotel pickup driver was very friendly and safe. We arrived at the harbor and wouldn't you know Alii Nui is parked... More

My wife and I took the Molokini snorkel trip from Maui Dive shop. Wow, what a trip. I have been on other snorkel trips that were fun, but you cant beat the service from this trip. We were greated by a friendly staff as we boarded and were met with a wonderful breakfest of scrambled eggs and great bacon. An... More

One of our favorite thing to do on Maui! Every time we are in town we take a trip out with these guys. We have done the snorkeling trips to both destinations and the sunset cruises. The crew are all amazing and strive to provide the best customer service they can. Snorkeling with them is great, everything is provided, all... More

My sister and I took the snorkeling tour to Molokai. The boat is amazing, the food superb, the Snorkeling 101 session with the captain easy to follow, and the staff on board is bar none the best in the world! They made sure we had fun, were safe in the water and answered any question asked. We had lots of... More
