Most fun activity we have done on maui, we have gone on this 3 times over the last two year. Three snorkel stops, but the best part is the trip to back side of Lanai, he also added a "hike" into a great cave this year.

This year, finally the grand kids were old enough to experience this fabulous activity in Maui , I was unable to make reservation, asked around, it seems that captain Dave just stopped, sold his boat? How sad, it was truly a great experience with for a change someone who was not afraid to push the envelope with his boat, he... More

I actually went in April of 2010 and Loved every single second of the trip on the Lanakila. The first trip I took, captain Dave was not aboard and I'm sorry to say I forget our captain's name but he was fun and made us laugh constantly. The snorkeling was phenomenal! The areas the Lanakila travel are so crystal clear... More

We have been on this trip 7 times, twice each time we are on the island which is every other year. We have taken my daughter beginning at age 6 and have taken my grandmother who was in her 80s. All of us have had a great time each and every time we go. I sometimes get sea sick but... More

Booked a 5 hour snorkelling boat tour around Lanei Island (just out of Lahaina bay) through my accomodation. Was advised to sit at the back of the boat for least amount of motion and to maximize sunrays after snorkelling. Great advice as the seas had up to 15' swells. I actually really enjoyed the ride as the captain (Crazy Dave)... More

My cousin and I went with Captain Dave and Eli on Friday, and in spite of the high winds and rough water on the way back in we had a great time. These guys were recommended to us by locals, and they did not disappoint...they were just great!! It really felt like we spent the day with friends, and I... More

My new husband and I went on this trip and loved it. Dave and Bobby were great. We are not the best swimmers and this trip is my hubby's first time in the ocean. They walked us thru snorkeling and made us feel safe. We had a blast and even swam with dolphins! It was a truly magical experience:it was... More

I always wonder if people who work with the company or friends write reviews, but believe me, I'm from Vancouver and I never write reviews..except when deserved!! The boat is fast, stable and comfortable with a large canopy in case the weather isn't great. You get amazing snorkelling spots and a boat ride you will definitely remember. We compared experiences... More

This trip was recommended by the concierge at my resort and was fantastic! Captain Dave is not your usual boat captain and tour leader - it was hysterical from the moment he arrived - DON'T GIVE THAT MAN ANY COFFEE! The trip was beautiful, the locations idyllic and even for a first time snorkeller it was a brilliant trip. Music,... More
