We were lucky enough to experience the 5.5 hour tour including the kanoi coast. The boat ride was quite an adventure and the scenery incredible. Our group of 8, including 4 teens, all thought it was an awesome excursion. We didn’t get as many snorkeling spots in due to rough conditions but our captain did his best to get us in the water as much as possible. Captain Charlie was top notch— shared great stories and was a wealth of information about the area. He made the trip even better.Highly recommend if you want a tour with more excitement and that is more intimate and unique.

I highly recommend going with Blue Water if you want the absolute best experience. 😊🤙🏽I will be revisiting from Texas and choosing this company again.

Michael M.

A fabulous tour with a great crew! Captain Jake and Angela were informative and efficient on our 5.5 hr tour. We had 5 opportunities to snorkel and we saw tons of fish and turtles as well as whales and a Hawaiian Monk Seal! Very exciting. Highly recommend!

Tara B.

It was fantastic! You wouldn't regret to book this tour. We’ve seen so many whales, turtle, fishes. We heard the whales singing under water and got a lot of information around Maui and our trip. Our tour was with Sheldon and Molkay? I didn’t understand the name right.. sorry! If you read this, I want the recipe for the cookies! They were so delicious! Both of them were amazing.

We had the best experience with Jake and Jenna, they were easy to get along with, fun, and informative. Everything was clean and safe, and as described in the booking process. We saw a million whales, Jake stopped several times and they came right up to our boat, getting to see tail slaps was the best. We could even hear them singing when we went under the water at the back side of the crater, truly a magical experience to see and hear them so close to us. One of the whales was playing and even swam right under us to surface beside us. We saw many beautiful fish and turtles , watching the sun rise while we were on the middle of the water was so lovely.

My family, group of 4 including myself, experienced the 4 hour tour with amazing Captain Tim! We luckily were the only family who booked the 7am-11am tour. Tim took us to see the sea caves which was such a great raft adventure! We headed over to Molokini Crater. Wow!!! Such an assortment of fish. Tim then took us over by Turtle Town where I got to swim with 5+ turtles!!!!! After we swam with fish and turtles we headed towards the direction Tim thought the dolphins may be and sure enough we saw dolphins!!!! On the way back in from such an amazing tour, Tim spotted and we got to stop for two whales!!!! Was truly a trip of a lifetime

Taryn K.

Our captain, Jimmy took us expertly through some massive swells. I’ve skydived and had lots of countless adventures and I assure you this one is Absolutely fantastic. I laughed my face off multiple times. Now that I was faceless it was somewhat harder to enjoy the gorgeous coral, school of fishes, spinner dolphins and turtles. I Persevered and even managed to inhale more than my share of delicious lunch sandwiches as no one else was apparently hungry. As it’s likely your world view will change, not for the timid. Do recommend.

Auto T.

Awesome tour and guides. Took the time to show us awesome lava formations, Molokini (including the backside) and even made sure we were able to see quite a few whales!!
