Snorkeling With a Whale Shark – “a Once-in-a-lifetime Experience”

Swimmer near a large whale shark in blue ocean water.

Whale shark encounters in Maui are considered “holy grail” sightings. A recent customer not only spotted one, but got to snorkel with this beautiful behemoth! Read their 5-star review below:

“We had the most amazing tour with Alex and first mate Kyle. They were funny, answered all of our questions, and made us feel very safe. I really appreciated being able to text someone day of to answer all my questions about that I needed to bring and do to prepare. While on the tour, we got the once in a life time experience of seeing a whale shark during our tour and we are very grateful for the team and this tour for making that happen. We also asked if we could see turtles and because we were such a small group, they made that happen too. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Worth every penny and some. Also the juice they had on the boat was the best juice I ever had and I had to go out and buy some to take home.” – Katie Cherichello
