As I'd never heard of this brand before, I wanted to take some time to read up on it, so we thanked the woman working the counter and left. As we were leaving, we got called cheapskates. After that, there was no way we were ever going to spend a cent in that store. We happily spend thousands on scuba equipment and gear for other outdoor sports, but I don't just blindly buy some gear from a brand I've never heard of. While their gear might be good, they could certainly do a better job of screening out jerks when they're hiring.

While we didn't see much inside water, that's understandable as it not under control. However The guide didn't seem particularly interested in ensuring everyone had a good experience. To make matters worse, we paid $100 for the photo package, expecting high-quality memories of our adventure. Unfortunately, the photos were terrible--blurry, poorly framed, and far from what you'd expect for the price. It felt like a complete waste of money. I wouldn't recommend the especially given how much they charge. There are better options for snorkeling in Maui--save your money and look elsewhere.

One of the highlights of my trip to Maui was coming to Black Rock Beach in Lahaina. Originally we…read morewere supposed to stay in Lahaina, but because of the rebuilding of the area, we stayed a little further south. I wish I did stay in the area because the whole area is a vibe. It's a little more touristy with resorts and shopping areas, but once you get on the beach you forget all that. Some of our group was already here and gave us specific instructions on where to park. We parked in a paid parking garage and had to walk between hotels to find the entrance to the beach. This particular stretch is in front of the Sheraton Maui Resort. This beach was awesome! Don't get confused like I did and think this was a black sand beach. Black Rock refers to the giant black lava rock going from the beach into the ocean. It's a very popular cliff diving area. In my opinion, you got to have some athletic ability to do the cliff diving. There's two ways to get to the peak of the rock to jump. There's a path from the shore, but you have to do a little climbing with a very sketch path to the top. The other option is to swim in the ocean towards the end of the rock where you have a little ladder to get you up, but you still have to get to the top of the rock. My friends and I decided to do the swim out which in itself was a challenge. One I got close, I decided to be the photographer in the water for when my friends jumped. We hung out in the water for awhile before swimming back to shore. The beach is perfect for lounging around, with soft white sand and crystal clear water. I brought my snorkel and goggles to really appreciate what's under the sea. We stayed out here way longer than we planned because time flies when you are having fun. On my next trip to Maui, I would totally consider staying right on this beach. I will most definitely be back!

And occasionally, a Hawaiian monk seal that comes up to bask in the sun during the day. Tourists here are the worst though! I have seen them crowding the turtles (10 ft distance is the law), standing on the swimming turtles to treat them like surf boards, and even approaching the monk seals or blocking their path back to the water (50+ ft is the law). Enjoy this beach responsibly and respect the beautiful wild life that frequent this beach.

Evan was a on point as lifeguard and Quinten made some tasty food on the grill. The snorkeling itself was probably a 3/5 experience but to no fault of Teralani. The conditions just weren't ideal for snorkeling. It was so windy and the recent storms made it so we could only go to one snorkel reef. It was a beautiful reef and had a decent amount of wild life but it was somewhat chilly waters and the waves kept crashing into us making it hard to enjoy the snorkeling for more than 30-45 min. Once done, we went whale watching, drank mai tais, and sun bathed. Captain Mario was great with the kids, even letting some sit with him up in the captains chair. Shout out to Kelly taking some great photos too! All in all, awesome experience that could only have been better by factors out of the crews control

This beach is very mobility friendly, all the way from the parking lot to the ocean! Parking is plenty, free, and very close. If you can see a cemetery from the parking lot, have no fear, you're in the right place. I love this beach so much because you can go so far into the ocean and the water will still be at a shallow waist level. You have to go pretty far out to get to a point where you can't stand. The waves also break far out, so ripples at shore are super soft. It is very easy to get in and out of. It's the absolute perfect beach for babies, seniors and everyone in between that likes a very leisurely swim. I couldn't get enough of being in the crystal clear water. The water was cool to touch but on the surface where the sun hit, it was warm, almost like bath water! I miss this feeling so much. There's also lots of room, it was not too busy nor flooded with people. There are both sunny and tree shaded areas. We came here at least a handful of times during my short time in Maui. I highly encourage and recommend time to be spent here. I am absolutely dreaming about my return to this beach!

I also took my baby here. The water was shallow and without waves so it was easy for kids to play. The bad: This wasn't the cleanest beach. The sand has a dirty appearance that is kind of mud-like. The fence area is a bit run down and there was debris/trash around. The water looked murky during the time I went. It was quite crowded when I came. Parking can be difficult. The interesting: The beach/sand area is pretty short so it makes it easy for you to walk in, settle down and get to the water without having to carry tons of heavy beach gear far.

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!

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.

Finding the spot initially was a little confusing, we were the last ones to show up! You are given a number based on when you arrive and you choose a seat on the boat. There is a captain and a naturalist on board who talks about the whales. If you're sitting in the back of the boat, you really can't hear what's being said so sit at the front or in the middle. We circled around and got to see a baby whale breech the water! Such magnificent animals. When a microphone was lowered in the water, we could hear the whales "singing." Did you know it's only the males that do this? The time goes by reallllly fast, so just enjoy being out there.
