Nick - previous boat
Had the most enjoyable day out snorkeling with Makai Adventures to Lanai! Captain Nick and first mate Kevin led us on an epic day on the water!
At our first snorkel stop, we even saw sea turtles; which is not typical of a Lanai snorkel trip! But Captain Nick & Kevin knew exactly where to stop to ensure that we saw turtles on our snorkel trip. We also had the pleasure of seeing literally hundreds of active spinner dolphins; including lots of babies, which was simply stated - MAGICAL!!! I loved that Captain Nick wasn't rushed; allowing us to take in this spectacular site for just as long as the dolphins entertained us!
All in all, this was an epic day out on the water; spent with an outstanding, personable, and highly professional crew! I highly, highly recommend Makai Adventures for the adventurous snorkel wishing to truly get out there and explore all that Lanai has to offer under the sea.

What a fantastic day we had sailing, snorkeling and whale watching, capped off with a wonderful sunset. Our Captain Nick did everything he could to make sure we felt like rock stars on our private sailboat. He was absolutely terrific. The booking was effortless and we will definitely do this again.
Nick - previous boat
My husband and I had a private sunset sail. Captain Nick and Joy were the best! Next time we are on the island we will for sure call them again.

“ Kate, it was a pleasure having you on the boat as a shipmate. You did a great job preparing our meals and assisting us on our onshore activities. Your knowledge of the area and ability to provide a well prepared meal was the best. Very sad we could not take you home with us. Thanks and keep up the good work.” -Mike

“ Kate was our amazing chef. We were a family of 8, and each day she put such great care into putting out a great spread for us. She always mixed it up. We even caught fish and she made us fish tacos. On our next trip, she is coming with us. Love this chef!!!

“ Kate, it was a pleasure having you on the boat as a shipmate. You did a great job preparing our meals and assisting us on our onshore activities. Your knowledge of the area and ability to provide a well prepared meal was the best. Very sad we could not take you home with us. Thanks and keep up the good work.” -Mike

“ Kate was our amazing chef. We were a family of 8, and each day she put such great care into putting out a great spread for us. She always mixed it up. We even caught fish and she made us fish tacos. On our next trip, she is coming with us. Love this chef!!!
