Auntie Snorkel Reviews
Bryan K G.
I don’t normally do reviews but I went to go buy a bike at this particular place and from there I met a few guys with really cool names. hugh (cool... palm tree hair) and “big wave” Dave were really good people to be around. As I was doing paperwork to get the bike, Hugh helped us out and had a big smile as we were doing the whole process. Anyways I would recommend this place for tourists🤙🏾read more

Dave was awesome! This was our first time to Maui. They got us all fitted for our snorkel gear and was fun to work with. Told us near Kihei beaches... to go to. We did have to exchange one snorkel mask as my tube got jammed with sand.. but there was no problem with doing that. Plus we needed a smoothie next door. 😉 I haven't transferred all my photos but saw this guy first day out!! Highly recommend this place for all your rental gear. They truly love what they do. Thanks!!read more

We just rented some fins for the kids and a couple of umbrellas on June 13th, and the young guy there was super helpful with the kids. He was... totally hitting on this hot chick when we walked in but quickly dismissed her to help us. Very professional. I almost felt bad because she was totally in to him. Hopefully it worked out for him. Also the whole family loved his bright personality that reminded us of Jeff Spicoli. Drop of of equipment was also quick and painless.read more

If you are looking for a good place to rent beach equipment, Aunties is it!!! They were very helpful at the shop and explained everything you need... to know about the rental. I rented two body boards and a surfboard from them and had no issues at all. I used a coupon to get one of the body boards free. I initally picked up an 8ft board, but asked to exchange it for a 10 ft. They were happy to do that. Will definately be renting from them again!read more

We had a great time snorkeling and I really owe it to Callen. She was so helpful to pick out the right equipment and gave us great tips. We... experienced such cool fish and turtles as well as the lava fields.The rental experience itself was quick and easy. She made sure we got the right size fins and masks. They are reasonably priced and have great hours...the open at 0730. The earlier you go, the more you get to see. We actually went to 4 different spots. The fish were amazing colors and the turtles were great. We saw so many turtles, one as big as my 15 year old daughter.Highly recommend this shop for customer service, selection and pricing .read more

We choose this shop based on the fact that it is LOCALLY owned and the reviews are insanely high. There is a reason...this place totally embodies the... the Aloho spirit on the 'aina!GREAT prices, quality equipment...and they truly go above and beyond for their customers. Hugh and Big Wave Dave were hilarious, knowledgeable and really thorough...not to mention cute as hell. I'm officially recommending them to anyone who visits Maui!!!And for tourist traveling here---respect the land and the people on it--->go out of your way to find LOCALLY owned shops, stands and businesses. And, by out of the way, I mean, search a little longer on your phone and ask locals.read more

Highly highly recommend Auntie Snorkel. I booked my paddle board reservation the night before and arrived to having 2 boards and straps reserved for... me to use. The staff is absolutely amazing and extremely friendly. Hugh/ Hue (I think that’s how you spell his name, he wears a bucket hat) was extremely helpful with putting the board on my car and tightening the straps for me. 10/10 for personality.When I brought the boards back, Captain C. checked me out and said I was good to go. Genuinely loved coming here for my first time. Hospitality was 100/10read more

Great experience renting snorkel equipment here! We made a booking online for a specific day to snorkel. Once we arrived to pick up our equipment,... the employee told us that the Maui snorkel report of the day advised against snorkeling due to high winds. He allowed us to come back any other day of our choice when the weather conditions were better. We returned about 3 to 4 days later to pick up our equipment. The process was smooth and Callen was very helpful and suggested a couple snorkel spots for us. The equipment was in great condition - they have a lot of other beach things to rent too if you need. Recommend Auntie Snorkel to everyone!read more

This is helpful if you book a ton of stuff and then your VRBO has a few chairs, umbrellas, etc. already. Very friendly in-store service: the guy with the curly hair was animated and a lot of fun while I was in the shop. All other staff were equally as friendly.

Do you want to waste money, time, and your precious emotional energy? Go ahead and get your gear from some other outfit. Do you want to rent... quality gear, from kind decent human beings at a reasonable price? Stop by Auntie’s for all your Maui adventure needs. The “Captains” will set you straight with everything you need and nothing you don’t. They’re like the cool big sister you never had. The one that read Sassy, dabbled in clove cigarettes and introduced you to Sleater Kinney and Sub Pop records. Will it be a mundane day or snorkeling, or a spiritual awakening? That is up to you.5 stars with 1300+ reviews are numbers that the Louvre, Disneyland, or the Imperial Palace in Tokyo would kill for. Why are you still reading? Hit the “Directions” button and get on with your life.read more

Absolutely recommend renting with Auntie Snorkel. The service was great, the prices good, and the quality of the equipment was fantastic. We got... snorkel gear, which they fitted to us perfectly, and they gave us some advice on locations. The service was done with a genuine smile.If you're thinking about buying a little Snorkel from a shop that's going be a bad fit and poor quality, it's much more worth it to rent!

Made a few changes to our gear rental before and during our Maui trip. Everything was super smooth each time. First, we dropped the GoPro from our... item list long before our trip. No problems. When we arrived, we discovered our condo had beach chairs, so we didn't need those from Auntie's. Again, no problem. The last day there, we had checked out of the condo and needed to add chairs and boogie boards to the cooler and umbrella we'd been using. No issues with this at all.All items we rented were, of course, used but in very good condition, working perfectly with no issues at all.The folks that work the store are welcoming, knowledgeable, accommodating, and happy to help. There was no pressure to get us to rent more. Whenever we told them we didn't want to rent an item, they were happy to remove it from our list without question.I'll happily recommend this rental store to anyone needing beach gear in Maui.read more

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

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

Winston Emory W.
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

If you are looking for a great place to rent your Maui vacation gear...look no further than Auntie Snorkel. Auntie Snorkel is a small business... dedicated to providing quality rental gear at affordable prices with excellent customer service. We rented snorkel gear and stand up paddle boards during our vacation. Mark and Paul took time to fit us with the correct gear, give us instruction and make sure we were confident with how to use the gear and then recommended great spots for us to get out and enjoy our vacation. The rental pick up and return process was fast, efficient and friendly! I highly recommend Auntie Snorkel for your vacation rental and activity needs!read more

Auntie snorkel was so nice and friendly!! We had been to a couple of other rental places for SUPs and they were very rude and actually wouldn't rent... a board to us. Auntie snorkel's service was quick and easy; we were in and out in less than 10 min! They also gave us some good suggestions on good paddle boarding spots! I highly recommend them!!read more

I HIGHLY recommend Auntie Snorkel. We first stopped in at Boss Frog to rent gear. The 2 people working there were obviously bored, didn't feel like... talking and just pointed at the white board with written snorkel conditions. We left and found Auntie Snorkel. A small business owned by Mark and Paul and were impressed by their knowledge of Maui and how they ran their business. As we talked about location, conditions and equipment Mark said, "Our gear is the best". And he wasn't exaggerating. Fit to perfection. Rent your gear from Mark and Paul... you won't be disappointed.

Just got back from a week in Maui and I can not say enough about Paul and Mark at Auntie Snorkel. From day one they were great at working with us on... equipment and trips. Our Molokini trip was canceled due to Tropical Storm Darby and they were gracious while we debated an alternative or a refund. Mark worked to get us on a Zip Line trip the morning we flew out and we had such a blast. These guys don't deserve your business they work to earn it all the time with an Aloha spirit. Mahalo guys.read more

Captain Brian, Jackie and Matt made for an amazing snorkeling trip. It's impossible to really explain how good it was but we caught tuna and saw... whales on the way to Molokini crater. Saw turtles at the second sight and on the way back Captain Brian saw dolphins and Matt cut up the Yellow Tail we caught. It was all unexpected. If you want a personalized trip with no crowds and genuine people then this is the boat. Thanks for everything. It was a perfect day (April 22nd, 2015).read more
