The Best Crew and The Best Snorkel Tour

What Makes Us Different?

Our crew is the secret behind our 30+ years of success and the best Maui snokeling. The Maui Magic crew is the true “Spirt of Aloha”. This crew is hands down the best on the island. Simply put, they love what they do and it shows. Priding themselves in providing a memorable experience and making you feel like family or Ohana as we like to say. Our crew is well-trained, knowledgeable and accommodating. They provide a one-on-one service to each and every person on our snorkeling tour. They are dedicated to provide everyone onboard with lots of fun and a truly unique Hawaiian snorkel adventure!
