 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The crew did an amazing job at providing us information about the whales and the islands as well as getting us as about as close as you can get to a baby humpback, his momma and 2 escort whales. They were rolling right next to our boat and swimming under us almost the entire time. They were professional, on time and incredibly friendly truly embracing everything Aloha! I will absolutely use them for my next adventures in Maui. If you are looking for a family friendly, fun and safe adventure, check out Dive Maui. You won’t regret it! For timing purposes my daughter and I took the 3:45pm on 4/03/26

Their enthusiasm was infectious and their knowledge deep.  “Best experience of my life, so far,” said our 11 yr old grandson.  What a great Maui experience to see mother Humpback whales teaching their babies to swim, breach, breathe, & dive. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
