I was so nervous to go snorkeling because I actually can't swim at all but the folks on the boat were so supportive, and they gave me a lifejacket and a flotation device and I was able to safely go out into the water and snorkel without any issues! My husband was so sweet & also rented us a Go Pro to capture our underwater moments, and I'm so happy that that was even an option with this company! In addition to the incredible service that the folks on the boat provided for us, they also provided us with a four course meal - which included scrambled eggs, yogurt parfait, and delicious cinnamon rolls! This truly was a five out of five, All-Star experience! Highly recommend for anybody visiting Maui !!

This is the only snorkeling business I would recommend in Maui. Not because the others are bad but…read morebecause Seafire is so exceptional. Several reasons: 1. Their location at Kihei Boat Ramp in South Maui means that you have an extra hour in the water so you can make one more stop compared to the other snorkeling charters who leave from further away and you spend most of the time going and coming vs in the water. 2. Their guides are so good, respectful, fun and full of knowledge about the underwater things you'll be seeing. 3. Their raft holds 12 people (I think) so it's much more intimate. This was worth every penny. You'll never forget when you first drop into the warm Maui waters and the incredible underwater sights you'll see. Make sure to book well in advance.

The captain and crew were not only extremely knowledgeable about the boat, the island, and the sea life, but they also made the entire trip feel personal and welcoming. You can truly tell it's a tight-knit team--the same crew providing full service with food and drinks throughout made it feel seamless and special. Their attention to detail and genuine care really captured the spirit of aloha. It was an unforgettable part of our Maui adventure, and we're so grateful we got to experience it. Highly recommend to anyone looking for something truly memorable on the island. Mahalo again for such an amazing day!

The breakfast and lunch were first class, the equipment was a high end brand and in good shape. The unlimited drinks were the real thing. Not watered down like I've had on other excursions. But it wasn't a party boat. Family friendly and the snorkeling was great! I'm super glad we chose Ali Nui for our snorkeling adventure.

On our vacation to Maui last week, we took trips out to the sea with Sea Maui twice. Our first trip…read moreout was an adults-only family excursion while the kids hung out with their grandma and auntie. The catamaran was pretty sweet, with some really comfy bean bags overlooking the edge out to the ocean. While we did occasionally get splashed in this area, it was worth the unobstructed view of the sunset and the breeze in my hair. The crew was especially sweet and treated all of us like absolute royalty. A note to those who are prone to motion sickness: do not try to be brave and only wear sea bands thinking you'll be okay. Take your Dramamine an hour before you board the catamaran. While the first half of our dinner cruise was fine with my motion sickness, the second half of the trip left me feeling really queasy around dinner service time. This made me very sad. This was no fault of the crew, and 100% my fault for thinking I could tough it out. If you are ill-prepared, the crew has ginger ale, club soda and ginger chews to help. Speaking of dinner, the few bites I was able to eat on our first trip were fantastic: a full dinner buffet prepared by Cafe Jai. The salmon was perfectly tender, as was the short rib. The caesar salad was just the right amount of tangy (and the extra dressing was really great on the salmon as well.) I'm not sure what kind of sauce was on the crispy seasoned potatoes but they were absolutely delightful. And of course, the crown on top of a delicious meal was the mini brownie cup we were served for dessert before we wrapped up the trip. Our second trip (where I was prepared with some Dramamine) was a memorial for our grandparents, where we released their cremains at sea with eco-urns. I must say that the crew handled everything wonderfully. We had the full bar, another beautiful buffet spread including some delicious crispy chicken, a pesto pasta salad, pulled beef sliders, and rolls. After we said our emotional goodbyes, we were given rose petals to release into the ocean. We even received certificates after the trip that gave us the coordinates of where my grandparents cremains were released. I seriously cannot thank Sea Maui enough for giving my family a truly memorable experience on our trip to Maui. They made our trip so special. A million thanks for the kindness!

What a wonderful experience we had today 19 January 2026. We booked the 0830 tour and were so…read morepleased with the crew. The Irish gentleman who pre-briefed us before leaving for the tour had a great sense of humor and set the tone for our excursion. Once aboard, the Captain and his crew were polite, cordial, fun loving and efficient. The food was great and the crew busied theirselves insuring everyone was comfortable, had drinks and the proper snorkeling gear. We saw many, many whales and at least 12 displays of whales big and small leaping out of the water. The hour long snorkeling provided the passengers with a myriad of tropical fish and sea turtles. We even had one try to climb the ladder into the boat. The fees for the excursion were fair and we definitely got our moneys worth for all we saw and participated in. I highly recommend The Sea Maui if you are looking for a great experience for you and your family or tour group.

From the moment we stepped on the raft, the crew made safety and comfort a top priority--clear instructions, secure seating, and constant check-ins that made everyone feel confident and cared for.

Truly unforgettable and highly, highly recommend! Date of experience: February 2026
