Our family had the best time on our snorkeling tour with Kevin and Jacob today! We were lucky and stayed on the beach the boat launches from. Kevin and James were very knowledgeable of Maui island, personable, extremely hospitable and we felt like we were spending the day with good friends. They gave our tour group the VIP treatment, always offering fresh fruit, cold drinks and answered all of our questions. The snorkeling was amazing!! My kids even saw a shark! The reef, fish, sea turtles were so much better to see in the deep ocean! Kevin and Jacob went above and beyond and treated us so well!! I HIGHLY recommend Kaanapali Ocean Adventures! Great for beginners or experienced snorkeled. They even helped my 12 yr old son overcome his fear and snorkel with us. It’s an experience our family will never forget! Mahalo!
The insane jet boat ride is an absolute must. We had the best time on this trip. We didn’t want it to end. Started the ride alongside a pod of spinner dolphins. I had never been so close to dolphins in my life and there were over a hundred of them surrounding the boat and jumping in the air. The boat goes very fast and it’s a great ride for thrill seekers. You will get soaked and expect saltwater to hit your face. It’s not for the faint of heart. Dave also made the trip informative and taught us a lot of new information about Hawaii. It’s a fun ride and a good family activity. Kids that love amusement parks would love this ride.
Kaanapali Ocean Adventures is THE BEST! My husband and I planned a family trip to Maui and wanted to plan one group excursion. From the first phone call to KOA, I knew our snorkeling outing to Lanai was going to be fun. From the moment our party of 9 arrived on the beach at Kaanapali and boarded the vessel, until the moment we returned to shore, we experienced one of the best outings of our lives! Spinner dolphins and out-of this world snorkeling in the clearest water ever! And to top it off, capt Dan found a mama whale and her calf for us to enjoy. Unbelievable. Best trip ever!

My family and I had SO MUCH fun on this excursion, and the guides were very friendly and insightful from beginning to end (despite the amount of rowdy children that accompanied us on the boat). They provided reef-safe sunscreen, snacks, drinks, music, and snorkeling gear to everybody which I also thought was nice. Out on the water I saw AT LEAST 5 sea turtles, a needle fish, and SO MANY COLORFUL FISH swimming around! Even if I didn’t see as much of the marine life as I did, I would still rate this trip a 10/10 because of how organized, professional, and welcoming everyone was. Would definitely recommend!!
I have been on three adventures with Captain Dan and the crew at Kaanapali Ocean Adventures. Each time was memorable and different. This last time the captain made a game day decision to take us to Molokai because of the outstanding weather. It was truly a once in a lifetime magical experience! I appreciate the flexibility the captain brings to the experience. He does what he thinks will provide the best experience for his guests depending on the weather and conditions. The boat is no frills but the captain and his crew are incredibly experienced, kind and fun. I can’t wait for my next captain Dan ocean adventure.
Kaanapali Ocean Adventure with Captain Dan and his crew, Marisa, was an unforgettable experience! We met them at 7 AM at Whalers Cove, and they took my family of 10 out for the adventure of a lifetime. Captain Dan went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience, even searching for the clearest water for snorkeling. We were new to snorkeling, and it was absolutely mind-blowing! We were also lucky enough to spot a small pod of spinner dolphins, and Captain Dan took extra time to follow them, making sure everyone had a chance to see. My family members said it was the highlight of our entire trip to Maui.
What really impressed us was that they were planning to dry dock the boat but were willing to take it out on late notice to accommodate our family’s vacation timeline. Marisa was incredible in the water, diving down to point out amazing fish, swimming ahead to navigate, and guiding the ‘extra adventurous’ ones in our group back to safer waters. Captain Dan and Marisa also provided fresh fruit, donuts, croissants, and drinks (BYOB 😜). The ride was smooth, the scenery stunning, and the whole experience was epic. I would 10/10 recommend, and we will definitely be back! Thank you, Captain Dan and team!
