Great staff very helpful and knowledgeable. She made she we got everything we needed and Mark was great with helping me with our returns.
Ralph R.
Great place to rent SUPs (Stand Up Paddle Boards)! My second time to rent here and on both times I experienced friendly and impeccable service.... Reserving online was easy and pick up and return of the SUP was quick and easy too! Special shoutout to the curly haired guy at the counter. He even gave me helpful tips with the phone case I got from them free because of their online promotion. I would keep renting from them for the duration of my trip. 5 stars!read more

Hugh was awesome in helping me and my wife get outfitted and prepared for fantastic snorkeling on Maui. He also provided a tip on the best place to... snorkel (Ahihi Cove) which proved to be better than even a trip out to Molokini (which I would still do because it is a unique adventure and the wall on the backside is something you cannot get from a beach snorkel). Auntie’s also provides a card for identifying the fish which is useful as well as defog solution which is a must when snorkeling. BTW, my wife does not swim so we rented a full face mask which she loved as well as a life vest. All made her very comfortable in the water. Thanks for great service.read more

We told him we were driving the road to Hana and he gave us an awesome tip on an app called Shaka. Not sure when we'll be back, but we'll definitely rent from Auntie Snorkel again!read more

Mark and his crew were so wonderfully accommodating to our needs--he helped me bring an SUP up the stairs of our condo!! They are cheerful,... efficient, have great quality equipment, and show the pride of workmanship of being a small business. They are so much more caring than the bigger chains of rental services. You are in for a treat if you work with Auntie Snorkel!! 🧜♀️🧜♀️read more

We loved you shop and how friendly you guys were. Thanks for not charging us for the extra time we had the equipment. We locked the gear in our... rental car and lost the keys so we returned a little late. Our next trip to Maui you will be our go to shop for rentalread more

With so many places offering daily and weekly beach rentals in Kihei and across Maui, I'm so glad we chose to rent our snorkel gear and beach chair... from Auntie Snorkel. Our kids (15 and 13) were excited but a little apprehensive about snorkeling on our own. The staff at Auntie Snorkel really took the time to fit both kids with the right gear and made them feel completely at ease and comfortable using their snorkels and fins. We didn't feel rushed or like were were just a number, they really wanted to make our experience as easy and as positive as possible. Mahalo 🤙read more
Heather M.
We were in Maui for our honeymoon and were set on paddle boarding. We paddle board in our home state of Florida and wanted the experience in Hawaii.... Mark was so kind and accommodating. We made our reservation at about 12:00 pm and he was complete upfront that the waters were rough at that time in an effort to guarantee our satisfaction. He could have easily rented us the boards without full disclosure but he is a very honest man. We went ahead with the rental and had an amazing time. We rented the boards for 24 hours and because we didn’t have a way to transport the boards back to our Air BnB Mark kindly let us come back the next morning and take them out so we got our moneys worth. This is the best rental shop you will find in the area. Prices are beyond fair and the service was unbelievable. Rent from Aunties Snorkel and you won’t regret it!read more
Ashley S.
Scott was super awesome, kind and very helpful! We live on island and will definitely recommend all of our guests to rent at Aunties!

Scott totally hooked me up at this place. I bought a snorkel in the morning. Lost it. After 30 min of searching the bottom I gave up. I went to da... bottom to look at a pretty shell and saw my snorkel in a little coral cubby! I grabbed it and tried to pull it out but it seemed stuck on something. Upon closer inspection I realized there was a giant eel tugging on the other end!!! Luckily he didn’t think my fingers were French fries. I let him have it and kept all my digits. Scott gave me a super discount on a new one. Mahalo bruddah!read more

My sister and I rented masks and fins from Auntie Snorkel to do some snorkeling while on vacation.

After researching a bunch of places for snorkel gear, my bf and I decided to just come here because they had so many good reviews. I'm so glad we... did! Mark is awesome and very obviously passionate about helping people have the best time on their trip. Our first day of snorkeling didn't have great conditions (high surf) so Mark cut us a deal on our next rental. He definitely didn't have to do that but we appreciated it anyway. Best of all I got to see an octopus! I attribute it to all the good vibes from the store. Thanks Mark.read more

Stopped here while on a vacation and recieved great service. Scott got us up and running with a set of snorkels/fins and a day of paddle boarding in... no time. The gear was all in good condition and the list of spots on their websites FAQ section made it easy to find great spots nearby to use it all. I would highly recommend anyone in the area to stop in here to grab any gear you need, and as a bonus, if you are planning any excursions, you can book through them for wholesale prices.read more

We went to Auntie Snorkel for an umbrella rental when our friends went to get a paddle board. I was super impressed with Scott. From the moment I... walked in, although he was dealing with other customers and was on the phone, he was attentive and acknowledged me. I was really impressed with how honest he was with customers - I heard him flat out tell a customer not to come that day for paddleboarding as the conditions weren't right, but suggested another day. Not the best for business, but I SO appreciated the way he handled it and ensured the renter's would get the most of their experience. In my books, honesty goes a long way!I also loved how easy it was to rent items and return them even if we needed to return items past closing. Great customer service and we will definitely give them my business in the event we return to Maui!Also our umbrella we rented was in great condition and we had no issues with the rental!read more
JC A.
Awesome experience. We got the stand up paddle boards but didn’t have a great time because it was so windy. We brought it back and Emma offered to... exchange them for snorkel gear free of charge.

Auntie Snorkel is the best shop on Maui! They are very helpful, we rented snorkels from them at a great price and they also booked us a snorkel tour... for a wonderful price too. Having used several different snorkels, the ones they rent out at Auntie Snorkel are definitely THE BEST quality you can find! Also very clean and brand new looking. Mark and Scott are also super helpful at directing for tips on where to snorkel to see the sights, and you get a little card to help identify the fishes and other sea life you’ve seen when out and about. Also sells lots of snorkelling and other related items. Will definitely return when next in Maui!read more

This year we rented SUP’s from Auntie Snorkel. In the past we’ve gotten great deals on beach chair and umbrella rentals. This year we stopped in and... low and behold they have SUPs! And at the lowest price we encountered, nice score. Some places down the road in Wailea were $45/hr vs. Aunties’ $20/1st for hour plus a $9 for the 2nd hour or $35 for the day. The shop is very close to the beach (Kam 1) , and so there is no need to haul the SUP’s by car, just carry them down the road a short distance. We’ve SUP’d in Kauai, Mexico, and Oregon a couple dozen times and these SUPs were as good as any we’ve used, did not end up (falling) in the water once.We really like to support this independent shop. And it is even better that they are more competitively priced than the franchises. Mahalo to Mark, we’ll see you next year.read more

Was recently in Maui for the week and bought a package deal for snorkel gear and a paddle board.

I found this place on Groupon and the deal alone was unbeatable. For $24 (had 25% off student Groupon) we got a week of snorkeling equipment and an... entire day of paddleboarding. Scott told us to come in and we didn't even have to mess with the Groupon because they would honor it. Their customer service was exceptional. Scott went way out of his way to help us learn about the island and helped us get set up with all of our gear and equipment. He even told us we could leave our car in the lot while snorkeling nearby and would also let us leave our car keys and valuable at the front desk in order to leave behind the worries of getting anything snatched while at the beach. Unfortunately, we weren't able to do our paddleboarding because water was to choppy both times we tried, but Mark let us take out the boogie boards instead, which was probably a better option anyway considering the waves in Maui. 100% recommend using this shop as they were the most friendly group of people we have ever met at a shop of any type.read more
Julie S.
Mark was fantastic and accommodating! We rented paddle boards for a full week and he had all the gear to be able to haul it with our rental SUV. Very... friendly and super quick!We rented online, where you get an additional discount. It’s the best priced place in Kihei compared to competitors. We’ve been to the island 7 times and definitely recommend getting your equipment from here. It’s right across the street from a great place to launch on your paddleboards too.read more

Great captain and co-captain. We had a lot of fun to Molokini. They had all the snorkel gear ready to go, and some cold drinks, as part of the... package. We took the 11:30 am trip - but be advised that anything after about 10 am is likely considered ‘afternoon’ and the wind picks up. We couldn’t go inside the crater, and were just lucky enough to snorkel on the backside of it (which is beautiful too!). Highly recommend Auntie Snorkel’s.read more

Auntie Snorkel definitely needs to be your go to for all your beach rental needs!! We first rented snorkel gear (full face masks are where it's at)... from Scott. I cannot say enough about the friendliness and service we received from him! It was very busy, but Scott made us feel welcome and treated every customer with kindness and respect. We later rented a paddle board and booked 2 tours with Scott. He was extremely helpful and gave us his advice and recommendations. We needed some assistance with one of our snorkel masks and worked with Mark on this. He was super helpful and gave us some additional advice on snorkel spots. I wish I could give them a 10 star review!!read more
Andrew J.
Amazing service and very fliexible arrangements. We reserved full-face mask snorkel gear and when we came in, he recommended we wait a couple of days... because of the big waves. He said he would definitely give them to us, but knew clarity was close to zero in the water. That being said, he said we could push out our reservation for a later day. We then came in a few days later and he said water clarity was good and even recommended a few good snorkel spots walking distance from the shop. We followed his directions and spotted a family of sea turtles! Again, great service and genuinely nice staff. Very knowledgeable and really values guests' experiences. I would highly recommend this shop for all your snorkeling needs!read more

We rented a GoPro from auntie snorkel for our trip to Maui, and I am glad we did! It allowed us to get so many more awesome pictures under water and... jumping off cliffs than a regular camera would’ve, and for renting it for a whole week it was a great deal! We worked with Scott and he was awesome! Very relaxed, friendly and super welcoming, he did mix up and give us someone’s phone charger instead of the GoPro charger but hey all those cords look the same haha so I would never hold that against him!! We will definitely go back to auntie snorkel next time we are on Maui! Mahalo!read more

I won't use anyone else on Maui. Mark has my business for life. Gives a personal touch to the experience. To quote my 14y old son "I really like... that guy" and that was even after he had to tell him he lost his mask. If he wins my kids he gets my business.We also rented online before we left, no hassles at all. The whole process was first class. We have used the competition before so I do speak from experience.read more

The greatest place you could possibly rent gear from in Kehei. They went way above and beyond for us and we will be going back later this year.
Greg P.
During our time in Kehei we made regular use of Auntie Snorkel. We rented snorkeling gear and GoPro for our own excursions along the coast, a paddle... board and surf board for riding the waves in the Kehei area and also booked our snorkeling trip to Molokini and Turtle Town through them. We found them very helpful, pleasant and efficient. Using Auntie snorkel was a wonderful part of our 10 day stay on Maui. I highly recommend using Auntie Snorkel for all your beach and ocean play rentals.read more

The premium snorkel gear was easy to use and of great quality, will definitely be back to rent from them again. Mahalo!read more

Scott is amazing! A few people kept trying to cut in front of us but Scott made sure we were taken care of. Their prices are better then bobs and... they have amazing customer service. I feel like bobs snorkeling tries to reel you in with false advertisements and Auntie Snorkeling is a honest mom and pop shop which I really appreciated and their prices are definitely reasonable and cheaper then bobs. I’ve already recommended them to my friends and family! And I wouldn’t hesitate to rent from them again.read more

I don't usually write reviews, but I really wanted to say thank you to the staff from Auntie Snorkel. The staff was so patient with us to make sure... we got the right size of the snorkeling gears. I ended up picking the full face mask and it was almost the same price as the regular one from another snorkeling rental company (you need to reserve it online though). I highly recommend this store to anyone!read more

I don’t often write reviews, but this one warranted it. In a place filled with shops catering to tourists, Scott and Aunties Snorkel stand out. We... stumbled upon this place as we looked for advice on water sports. As a novice snorkeler, Scott walked us through all the different options and the pros and cons of each, all while managing multiple other walk in customers with patience and energy. In addition to all the questions we had about snorkeling, Scott had several good recommendations about other places to visit and had some good stories to go along with every location! All the stores and sales staff in tourist destinations have recommendations, but Scott’s were relatable and tailored around the plans we already had. was extremely personable, knowledgeable, and willing to spend extra time making sure we were fitted with the right gear for our needs. We would highly recommend this store to anyone looking for a company willing to go the extra mile for you.read more
Andy L.
I don't know how we wandered to this little shop, but we are sure glad we did! We didn't rent any gear, but stopped by for the discounted... activities. Scott was able to work with us to get us great deals on several activities. Scott was genuine and professional, and we will be sure to come back next time we visit Maui!read more
Tanya W.
We didn't happen upon Auntie Snorkel until our last few days in Maui, and truthfully, meeting Scott and popping in and out of this fantastic shop a... few times was among our favorite things about Maui!! Scott was incredible: kind, friendly, hilarious, and ultra-helpful! It was our first time boogieboarding and snorkling, and his expertise ensured we had a fantastic first experience. Our son asked a few times, "Is it just me, or are people in Maui REALLY awesome?!" This was every time after we left Auntie Snorkel. We would like Scott to adopt us, or vice versa. Either way, when we go back to Maui, it will be among our first stops! Stellar people and service - it felt like family! A billion stars to these guys, if that's a thing! We can't recommend this place highly enough, and we are picky!read more
Bryan G.
Great prices, friendly people. Like new equipment. Easy to reserve online and easy pickup. I like that it’s family owned too.

My husband and I brought our masks and snorkels with us to Maui, but not fins. Friends HIGHLY recommended to rent them, so found Auntie Snorkel was... open at 7:30 - they were picking us up at 7:45!! Perfect!Scott was extremely helpful and quick and the fins definitely turned out to be an essential. A couple days later, we returned to rent the full face masks - also a " highly recommended" item to try out - and again, Scott was awesome to work with and the mask was super! The clarity of vision, less anxiety, and easy to use was worth the rental! Mahalo Scott and Mark!! You have a real GEM of a store and location!read more
Chris S.

Best place to get your snorkel gear in Maui!!! This is our third trip and we have used other gear in the past, but this place by far was the best... equipment, prices, and customer service. We always do a few extra activities (sea kayaking to turtle town is great) and the equipment that we rented from Auntie' s was so much better than what would have been provided. When we come back we will definitely use them again!!!read more
Ryan H.
Great equipment, friendly staff and tons of local knowledge. Stopped in one morning to rent a paddle board for the day and the gentleman working... there told me it was going to get windy and to try it a different day. He was right on, the wind picked up about 20 minutes later and we would have wasted a day. Came back the next day and rented a newer, nice board! We really appreciated having them look out for us! The chairs and umbrella were perfect too.read more

My husband and I went to auntie snorkel and we were helped by a very nice man named Scott.

We came to Hawaii for adventure and relaxation with all five kids. First family vacation in years. One day we went kayaking and I was so cold in the... water that it almost ruined the experience. Our guide gave me his wet suit jacket to warm up and told me where to rent one for the week. We went Auntie Snorkel and were so thankful that they had a wet suit I could rent for the week. It was the best money spent on the trip and made the snorkeling and waterfall repelling so much more enjoyable because I wasn't freezing cold. Scott's business card says "fun specialist" and that's so spot on. He not only helped me enjoy our trip more by fitting me with a suit, but he was also very supportive and encouraging... I had transplant surgery 3 years ago and this was a big anniversary trip. Scott connected with us on so many levels, he took the time to talk and get to know us. Great guy great shop. Oh and we LOVE the sunscreen that they sell there too. Locally made and smells so good!read more

We found Auntie's by seeing how good the ratings were on Google, and we're paying it forward to let the world know what a good experience to expect.... Prices were very reasonable, location was great, they were flexible with our drop off time and Scott is a total beauty. His positivity (and high 5s) are contagious. It made me envious of his life... hanging out making juice near the beach giving 60 high 5s/hour... seems pretty awesome. We'll definitely return.read more

A great place to rent stand up paddles! The staff member (who is originally from San Diego) who helped us was extraordinarily friendly, kind,... helpful and hard-working. I think his personality and nature contributes greatly to the success of Auntie Snorkel. Even when the shop is busy, he processes everyone quickly yet gives them the attention they need.A 24-hour rental costs $30. It is advised to rent the stand up paddle boards early in the morning before the water gets rough. I found that the water went from completely calm at 8am to somewhat rougher at 11am, but even when it's rough you can continue to stand up paddle or just sit down on the board and paddle. Auntie Snorkel opens at 7:30am. If you rent at 8:15am one morning, you can go back the next morning for another 45 minute (24 hour rental) stand up paddle; they will keep the SUP overnight. Life jackets are an extra $5 per day.This was a great activity on Kamaole Beach I.read more

If there’s any place on Maui that will help you have a better start to your vacation, I don’t know where it would be. Mark and Scott (he’s the tall,... handsome, one) are two of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet, and they’ll make sure you have everything you need. Plus, Scott’s super knowledgeable about the area and gave us great advice on where to get good local food. This is a family-owned shop that provides personal and friendly service, and the rates are competitive.The shop is super well stocked, we really liked the boogie boards we rented!Mahalo, Mark and Scott, for your “aloha spirit” and for helping to make our Maui vacation awesome! We’ll be back!read more

We had a great experience at Auntie Snorkel last week when we were in Kihei. Mark was extremely helpful and willing to trade out the snorkeling... equipment if we didn’t like it. He gave us tips on where to go for the best snorkeling on Maui. We will definitely go to Auntie Snorkel next time we visit Kihei!read more

Walked in looking to compare some prices on full face masks, which were great, and walked out with a snorkel cruise. Scott here is great. Completely... honest and really cares about how far your dollar goes. Felt very genuine and down to earth. The snorkel cruise on the Calypso he sold me was absolutely amazing. Definitely coming back to this guy!read more

you need beach stuff? GO HERE. Scott was the best, he was super fun, informative, and no frills. He didnt rush, made sure you understood, but didnt... waste your time or upsell. He rocked! We rented snorkels for the day, since we were ending our maui trip, but we had a BOGO and it was only $8.33. $8 for one set of snorkel... WORTH IT! and you get a bag, fins, and defoggerread more

This place totally saved the day and also set the tone for a whole day keishin. We ended up renting a whole bunch of stuff from these guys, and the... rates were affordable for high-quality product. More so than that however, my wife and I were exploring Hawaii and really didn't know what the best way to occupy our time might be. Both Gwen and Scott basically acted as our tour guides for this visit and pointed out all the best spots for snorkeling, eating, and leisurely activities. I could not recommend this place more. They have earned our business for life.Btw- the biggest must-do attraction in Maui is snorkeling/diving. We got a freaking killer deal on the Calypso snorkeling tour to Molokini...it was honestly a steal. 6 hour tour for a little over $100/each which included 2 meals, gear, and a super friendly staff, including a naturalist who showed us all the cool fish and turtles. Beers we literally $2. Best deal on Maui. Incredible value. Dont miss this.read more

Thank you to Mark for a great paddle board rental experience! We had never paddle boarded before and with his instruction and encouragement we had a... great morning out on the water! Mark was very pleasant, energetic and friendly. I would recommend Auntie Snorkel for your rental experience while in Kehi!read more

Highly recommended. Gwen is great! Highly recommend beach chairs and snorkel gear, we got to see so many turtles🎉🎉
D P
Wanted to find a full face snorkel, they had it. I have issues with normal snorkel goggles because I have a beard and mustache making water come in.... The full face one gave me no issues at all! Gwen was super friendly and explained everything. We ended up renting beach chairs too, I highly recommend them if you’re planning to spend some time at the beach. We saw sea turtles every time we went out so definitely worth renting snorkels for a day or longer! Also 24h rental so we only had to bring back the day after at the same time we got them.read more

We have rented from Auntie’s on several trips and love them! The are upbeat, helpful, fun, and incredibly reasonably priced. We will drive to them... instead of using our resort rental option. Their equipment is 1st rate and they make renting as easy as it can be. Try them and you will love them too!read more

I've been to Kihei, Maui many times and have rented from 4 others in the past. Worn equipment, out of stock, push to more expensive equipment, poor... service especially if I'm not renting much and higher prices wore me down. I've rented at Auntie Snorkel 5 times now and have been happy during and after the sale. Last time I forgot and left a Fit Bit in one of the pockets of a beach chair. I called when I got home and was told that the chair was already out for rental. Mark was able to contact the renter, get it back and shipped it back to me in Oregon at no charge. So newer equipment (Bahama chair was almost new), lowest prices I've found and great service to boot. What more can I ask for!read more

Highly recommended! We went with the full face mask snorkel gear and followed Mark’s advice to go snorkeling at Makena Bay. The gear and location did... not disappoint, we actually preferred the DIY snorkeling experience to our Molokini snorkeling tour last time we were in Maui. Mark was very laid back and a pleasure to deal with, A+++ service.read more

Outstanding helpful, kind, and courteous staff! Rented snorkeling gear for a week. Great service!

Mark was fantastic! We had an issue with thieves that caused us to deal with the police shortly after we got the boards. The boards were unable to be... utilized. We went back to Mark and asked if there was anything he could do for us and he let us come back the next day and have the boards for the full day with no extra charge. I watched Mark with people, he took his time with each customer, gave them great tips, good places to go for snorkeling and just general fun on the island. The people who gave him fours are out of their mind and apparently want Mark to be JESUS before they give him his appropriate 5 star rating.read more

We rented a paddle board for two days from the owner Mark Noble and we found him to be very honest, knowledgable about the area and explained how to... paddle board efficiently. In fact, the day we were planning to pick up the board , he cautioned against it, as he said this wind was too brisk for novices. So, he allowed us to delay the rental for a few days.Mahalo Mark!read more
