OUR VESSELS
Our boats offer the smoothest, most stable and driest rides in the islands. They are U.S. Coast Guard certified to carry up to 26 people. At 38' long and 13' wide, they are extremely spacious and comfortable. Every seat is a padded seat. The inflatable tube around our boats act as a shock absorber for waves and as a splash deflector. We have very large swim and dive ladders to make it easy for you to get back into the boat after enjoying the water.
Our boats also employ a state of the art hydrophone system (underwater microphone) which plays, live, the majestic song of the whales through our crystal clear audio system (during the winter whale season only).

Will we see dolphins?
There's a good chance!
Maui county is home to thousands of dolphins among three major types, Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins, Spotted Dolphins and Bottlenose Dolphins. We see them on our snorkel tours about 75% of the time. They occasionally will even join in the snorkel tour and swim with guests.
About Shoes...
Barefoot Tours!
We collect your shoes on our welcome mat before boarding. They will be kept safe and dry. Our vessels all have soft padded decks for your comfort and better traction when wet.
It's Hawaiian tradition to remove your shoes before entering a house.
It's boating tradition to remove your shoes before pleasure boating!
This helps keep our soft decking in top shape and keeps the boat nice and clean.
About the Weather...
Don’t call us….we’ll call you.
We suggest you spend your time on Maui enjoying it's beauty and leave worrying about the weather to us! Maui has EVERY climate on earth and extreme micro-climates. One of these climates is..... Tropical Rain Forrest! So, it rains every day somewhere on Maui, but not where we go to play on the water.
Your weather app on your phone is pretty much useless here. If there's an issue with the weather for the time of your trip we will contact you as soon as possible. Please make sure to use a good mobile phone number for calls and texts from us about your trip.
If you must keep up with the weather while on your vacation, we suggest you use an app called Windy and you must use the "NAM" model for accuracy in Hawaii.
How crowded are your tours?
Personalized hospitality with Aloha!
Our vessels are USCG certified to carry 26 passengers plus crew, but we only operate VIP tours in order to provide the best experience possible, so we limit our tours to a maximum of 12 passengers, with the exception of our private tours in which case we recommend a maximum of 15 people.
We want you to experience the best in personalized aloha and and we refuse to pack our boats full. On our snorkel tours, we often have three crew members so our crew to passenger ratio is the highest you will find. Our team really shines when it comes to personal interaction and they love to share their local knowledge, both above and below the water!
