We did the 5 hour snorkel/dolphin watching tour. We had tons of fun! The boat and crew were fantastic. We had Nicole, Bri, and Capt. Jack. Super knowledgeable about the animals and the history of Lanai. We got to see spotted dolphins and spinner dolphins. We got lucky and also saw a humpback whale even though it’s pretty early on in the season. We stopped at two different snorkel spots along the coast of Lanai. Both of them were really cool, but shark fin rock was our favorite. Overall, great company and great trip.

Captain Jack and Nicole were amazing, their knowledge, expertise and humor made this excursion so much fun. Nicole was so kind and got the little kids involved, Captain Jack kept us laughing. I would have paid double for this experience! We hung out in a pod of about 200 spinner dolphins and they showed off their babies and skills by jumping and spinning out of the water. It was truly breathtaking. I recommend this to everyone visiting the beautiful island of Maui. Mahalo!

Capt. Jack and Jess were amazing! We were able to see some bottlenose dolphins, sea turtles, and the main show the spinner dolphins. I highly recommend this tour.

So much fun!!! It looked like we might not see any dolphin, so Captain Jack made the most of our tour. We took pictures in front of a blowhole, we had a longer ride than most tours and we learned alot of history. We had lovely snacks and we laughed alot. We rescued a bird and picked up some trash that had baby lobster on it. Finally, we had to turn back because of time. All of a sudden, there they were! We were so excited. It was a giant pod. There were several mamas and babies. It was great. We were late getting back but none of us cared, of course. I highly recommend this tour. The crew was great and they went above and beyond to make our day special.

I'm kind of jealous of the person who saw hundreds of dolphins on her tour. We did the 5 hour trip and only saw about 3 bottlenose dolphins. At least we saw some. We did have a fun snorkeling trip. Captain Jack was a hoot, and the two naturalists, Bree and Nicole (I think) were so sweet. They had lots of good snacks waiting for us after snorkeling. It was a beautiful day and boat was great. I have been on many boats and catamarans over the past 20 years visiting, and maybe the day was calm but the boat was fast and steady, and there's no bad seat. It was low to the water which made viewing the dolphins even better. Thanks for a wonderful time.
