Overview

Since 1978, we have been proudly sailing the seas of Maui, whisking guests away on exhilarating snorkeling trips, romantic sunset cruises, and everything in between. We’re honored to play a part in introducing our visitors to the island as well as its waters; as stewards of our proud culture, we take that responsibility seriously.

Our vessel is the widest and most stable on the island, ensuring a comfortable ride for everyone. We provide top of the line equipment, food, drinks, and customer service.

Snorkeling demo is given to any individuals with all levels of experience. Included in the price of your charters is all snorkeling and flotation equipment, including premium silicon masks, snorkels, and fins, boogie boards, flotation belts, water noodles, wet suit tops, optical masks, and large terry beach towels. Once you have had your fill of snorkeling, enjoy a refreshing "rinse-off" shower with one of four heated fresh-water showers.

Itinerary

Embark on your seafaring journey with a snorkeling expedition that offers a little bit of everything. After departing Ma'alaea Harbor, we’ll aim for Molokini crater, giving you the chance to snorkel in its pristine, crystal-clear waters. A second stop at Turtle Town, a known resting spot for resident Honu, will round out a perfect morning before returning home.

Molokini is a marine reserve with spectacular water clarity and a pristine coral reef. Rated one of the best snorkeling spots in the world, this reef has a variety of beautiful reef fish and animals. More than 400 varieties of fish are found in the Hawaiian waters and more than 25% of these are endemic, they are found only in Hawaii. Occasionally we see dolphins, Whales, Manta rays, and Hawaiian Monk seals.

Turtle Arches offers a pristine coral reef system nestled at the base of Pu'u Olai (Red Hill) near Makena State Park. The caverns and ledges in the coral and lava create the perfect habitat for sponges, corals, octopus, fish, eels, and shrimp. The highlight of this reef is the number of Green Sea Turtles that call this area home.

First time we’ve sailed with Ali’i Nui and we will be back next year. We took the morning sail to Molokini Crater. Excellent food, crew (Captain Gray), and snorkel equipment. They made the excursion fun but were professional and safe. The captain skipped the second stop at Turtletown due to reports of man of war biting snorkel ears that morning. So they stopped at the “blue shelf” for our second snorkel. It’s a very nice boat. Thanks to the crew for a great sail!

If you want to book the BEST snorkeling and site seeing tour in Maui, this is it! From the moment you are picked up from your hotel, you are treated like royalty. The boat is first class, the crew is amazing and the experience is second to none. We had so much fun on board and with the included food, snacks and drinks, it made for a highly enjoyable day for our group. This is the best snorkeling experience we have ever had (25 years) and they offer a mixed snorkel and dive group. The food was amazing and they serve unlimited drinks (including POG mimosas and beer! Chloe was our first interaction with the team and I knew from the start that we were going to have a great day. All of our group was treated like if was a private cruise and it was our boat. The attention to detail on the sailing, the spots, the food... was just second to none. Captain Jordan was super cool and we ever sailed back on wind. If you want the best site seeing or snorkel experience on the island, book this trip!

We had the best time snorkeling with this crew. Our 4 year old daughter had never snorkeled before and was apprehensive getting into the water. Mariah came by on her surfboard and let her bob around with her until she felt comfortable and then she jumped in and we couldn’t get her out. The entire crew was SO accommodating and helpful, sweet and made the experience perfection. Cannot recommend this company enough! Everything from the service, their warmth, knowledge, the food, even the photographer were all special and unique. 10/10!!!

An activity that lives up to prior reviews. Swam aside a turtle, with a school of fish, saw a white tipped shark. Excellent breakfast, lunch, and drinks. Warm fresh water rinse, towels, and sunscreen included.

Fantastic trip. My family has been scuba diving on the island for 20+ years. Came with some more water-cautious relatives this time out so opted for the snorkel tour. No regrets. Booked our second trip with Alii Nui as soon as we hit shore after the first trip. My little guy (9 years old) had a bad experience with another operator a year ago; by the time he left the Alii Nui, he felt like a crew member. My wife is a tentative swimmer in the ocean. Having crew in the water, engaged and attentive, set her completely at ease. We saw (up close) whales, octopus, eels and a reef shark (harmless, but really cool to see). I've been off Trip Advisor for a while, but these guys were so good, I felt I should come back. Recommend them to everyone.
