Sunset Glow Snorkel at Turtle Town

My husband and I have been to Maui five times since 2021 and have gone on many different snorkel tours. With that being said, this was hands down the BEST snorkel experience we have ever participated in. We’ve been to Lanai and Molokini a handful of times, which were awesome in their own right. Still so, this event was like nothing else we’ve done before. We started out in the water as the sun was settling into the horizon and ended surrounded by a stunning display of stars in the night sky. My husband and I were fortunate enough to literally watch the sunset in the company of a majestic sea turtle as we three gently swayed with the clear blue ocean waves together. Our guide, Robbie, was amazing; he ensured we had a one-of-a-kind experience. He even dove down and presented each of us with a pin cushion sea star and then later with red-pencil sea urchins. We were able to hold them all while he documented every highlight of the evening. We saw multiple sea turtles, and even lobsters. I even witnessed a full-size (HUGE) spotted eagle ray. It was completely dark at the time and we were using flashlights to illuminate the lava rocks, coral and the sea bed when my beam caught sight of the ray as it went from a slow flutter to a high-speed exit. Truly phenomenal! Despite snorkeling in total darkness neither my husband nor I ever felt scared, not even a hint of apprehension. I think it was a combo of Robbie’s experiential knowledge mixed with his friendly demeanor and quiet confidence that belayed a sense of security that all was in-hand. Plus, it didn’t hurt that we were the only two people on the tour. The gear provided was top notch, especially the flashlights. The lights cut straight through the darkness of the water making it feel like a game of adventure hide and seek! We also rented a a hand-held power jet we shared back and forth. The power jet had some serious power allowing you to either dive quickly down and up or just zoom-zoom through the water. My husband dubbed it the “James Bond - 007”. Robbie had all sorts of cool gadgets and high-quality equipment. I can’t recommend this tour enough. YOU WILL NOT REGET IT!

If you’re traveling to Maui I recommend this 100%. Everything from the start to finish was amazing, 10/10 experience!! Robby was an amazing guide, he made sure we are safe, he took excellent care of those who were getting tired, he explained everything so perfectly. We saw so many turtles and other sea creatures!! The guides were also taking lots of pictures and videos he shared w us so all of it was also documented!! Definitely recommend!!!!!!

Joe is the best guide and we had so so much fun. He took incredible photos for us and we got lucky as it was just my husband and I so it was very nice and personalized. My husband isn’t the strongest swimmer and overall Joe was good at encouraging him and we were able to go more at my husband’s pace which we both are thankful for. Joe thank you so so much for such an incredible time and such great photos for the memories. We wish you all the best and are so thankful you were such a big part of our Maui adventure.

Robbie was a great communicator. He was on time and even text/call to make sure I get to the meet up point correctly. He captured some good moments under the water. Definitely a must try activity. You get to do in a smaller good. And have all the exclusive time with the turtles.

Robbie led us on an incredible tour tonight. We had more than enough time out in water. Lots of safety checks. Most importantly-so many turtles! Unique to be able to go at dusk and truly special time in the water.
