Auntie Snorkel Reviews

J K.
Great service. Very helpful. Easy to rent from and easy to return equipment. Definitely recommend.

Leigh B.
Super friendly! They were very knowledgeable on the gear and the area. The equipment was in great shape, they had lots of inventory and the prices were quite reasonable. They are a local mom and pop shop so I felt good supporting them too. I would highly recommend Auntie Snorkel and will definitely rent from them again when my family returns to Maui...which is hopefully sooner than later!read more

Eric G.
We stayed in Kihei and researched snorkel locations ahead of time. We had used Boss Frogs the year prior and were satisfied. We selected Auntie Snorkel for this trip and couldn't have been happier. We ordered ahead on most of our gear and had some savings. We decided to rent a GoPro the next day and were really happy we did. Scott helped us out and was super friendly. I would recommend Auntie Snorkels to anyone.read more

Steven G.
You won't beat the customer service, awesome quality gear they rent, AND competitive prices anywhere. No brainer for this to be the Go To place for your tropical paradise needs.read more

Donald C.
Super friendly owner and staff, great customer service, wonderful tips on places to visit. Terrific, well-maintained equipment of every stripe at reasonable prices/rental rates. We wouldn't consider going anywhere else!read more

Sherry D.
I rented snorkle gear and a bike in Kihei. The owner and staff were hands on, friendly and knowledgable. The gear was very clean and well taken care of. I enjoyed exploring Maui with my snorkle gear ready to go at multiple locations! They gave me a fish reference card which was very helpful in identifying what I was seeing! GPS mapping for great spots is also available through their website. This was a fun, inexpensive way to have some ocean fun! Thanks Mark!read more

christopher H.
This place was completely wonderful! The owner was super friendly and funny and awesome. Helped us figure out exactly what we needed, explained everything really well, it was literally perfect. Will definitely be the first place we stop to rent gear next time we are in Maui! 😍😍😍read more

Janet M.
Our favorite activity in Maui is snorkeling. We hadn't been for a few years so googled to see what snorkel shops were closeby and discovered Auntie Snorkel! Great staff, service and equipment. We tried the full face mask and loved it! Auntie Snorkel will be our "go to" ... see you next year!read more

Jessica C.
Fast and friendly service, great instruction. Had a groupon and used it with ease. The owner personally asked how everything was, made sure we got gear and returned in a timely manner. We others on the beach to make sure they go to Auntie Snorkels. Fantastic first time snorkeling, used full face equipment and I highly recommend it.read more

Iain G.
Excellent equipment (snorkels, fins, umbrellas) and great service. Thank you Emma!

Marilyn T.
This team is exceptional! Thank you Auntie Snorkel for your kindness and consideration. For anyone visiting the island this is THE place to go.

Jenna N.
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

Sarah B.
The crew at Auntie Snorkel are top level. They take care of all of your needs in an efficient and professional way and make you feel like family while they are at it. I can't wait to rent a SUP from them on my next trip to Maui. It is always a highlight of my trip.read more

casey L.
Very helpful and friendly. We rented bikes and they helped us get them adjusted and were flexible on return dates to accommodate our large group!

Shawn B.
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

Zvonimir G.
My man Scotty Johnson took care of us like we were family. Great guy, great place, great prices. Will visit again!

Sienna C.
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. Very happy we came here and Emma and the staff are very friendly. Beach in walking distance, too.read more

ira M.
Scott was very helpful. Gave us a great deal. Suggested best gear and snorkeling spots. Answered all questions even beyond snorkeling.

David Z.
We ordered on line which saved some money and rented umbrellas and cart for the week This was very helpful. The guy that helped us at the shop was very helpful and friendly. No fault of the shop, but umbrellas really didn't work much on the beach due to the wind. I wish they had lounge chairs to rent to lay out on.read more

Marilyn R.
We rented Tommy Bahama beach chairs off of Mark and Gwen! Awesome people to deal with and a great place to rent! Keep up the superb customer service you two! We will rent again from you for sure and will tell all our family and friends about AUNTIE SNORKEL!read more

Literally the best business I've used in ''touristy'' places. Well equipped, nicely organized. More importantly, Scott is extremely patient and helpful from choosing the gears to recommend locations. Even helped us hooking up with a helicopter tour with no lead time bascially. He's a nice and fun guy btw.Use them, period.read more

Alaina Morgan M.
We enjoyed the friendly customer service and knowledge Mark shared with us about the areas available to snorkel. The equipment was great and we even had a turtle experience. We loved the beaches in Kehei. We snorkeled at Wailea beach!read more

Mike M.
We reserved 5 snorkel sets (including 2 kids sets) on-line and the pick up was super quick and easy. One day we had an issue with a torn fin and they replaced it right away. Everyone we worked with at Auntie Snorkel was friendly and helpful. I wouldn't hesitate to rent from them again.read more

Richard A.
Great experience all the way through and friendly knowledgeable staff. I highly recommend Auntie Snorkel!

KT W.
Mark and Scott were great! We only needed a child's life vest for 3 days and they gave us a deal!

We loved the customer service at Auntie Snorkel located in Kihei...their prices are great and they explain how to use their equipment very well...everyone at the store were super friendly...highly rrecommended etc!read more

Water Farmer 4.
Best place and best conditioned equipment on the island period! Staff was super helpful and patient explaining how to use everything to our party of 9 people all renting different things from snorkel gear to SUPs. They even had prescription snorkel masks for a couple of my kids and that made their snorkel experience a memorable one. We even lost one of those masks and didnt get hit with a full retail replacement cost. We go to Maui once a year and this place will always have our buisness.read more

Vicki R.
The owner Mark and his wife were awesome. We rented for a week and it was the best money we spent.

Lori M.
Scott did a excellent job getting us fitted with our equipment. He is knowledgeable and fast so you can get out and enjoy your day. Our equipment was super clean!! My mask fit perfectly and better yet, the anti was the best I have ever used. No fogging whatsoever!! My daughter ordered everything on line and it was effortless. Thanks Scott for providing super clean equipment and your shop is spotless. Will rent from you next time!!read more

Mike M.
Great place to rent gear. We only needed an extra beach chair but they had a great selection of items to meet with one’s beach requirements. Scott was super friendly and he got us in and out of there in record time. Check them out.read more

Shelby F.
Scott was so helpful as we rented online prior to our Maui trip! The pick up and drop off for paddle boards was such a smooth process and their online deals beat everyone’s prices! We will definitely be renting all our equipment from them when we come next time!read more

Steve M.
Scott was a legend and was fantastic. He fitted out my son for snorkel gear and gave us the low down on where to go so we saw our first turtle and an abundance of fish on our first snorkel! Looks like I'll be buying snorkel gear for my boys as there now hooked. Thanks again!read more

Craig K.
I’ve been coming to Mau’i for over 20 years and hadn’t used Auntie Snorkels for snorkeling gear or chairs. I had been using other businesses, with mixed results. I really appreciated the personalized attention to the fit of the masks, fins and having chairs that don’t look like you’ll bust through them the first time you try to sit in them! I’ll definitely be coming back to Auntie Snorkels for my snorkeling gear and chairs for all my future trips to Mau’i!read more

Chloé M.
My mom and I had a really great experience! Scott was very helpful and kind. Our snorkel gear was spotless and clean when we picked it up. No holes in bags or any gross smell. The anti fog is the best I've ever used. Mom and I didn't have any issues. Scott made sure our masks and fins fit properly before we left! I booked online and it was a very easy process! I definitely recommend :)read more

Jill K.
Year after year we rent chairs, umbrellas another equipment from you. You are a joy to do business with and wouldn't think of going anywhere else. Your equipment is always in great shape and very reasonably priced. Thank you for staying constant.read more

Scott is the best, he went above and beyond trying to find the best prices for excursions and equipment rental. Scott saved us a good 50% on the prices. Always with a smile. Aloha to all!!read more

Nicole R.
Scott was super friendly and gave us a great lesson on how to use our snorkel gear. We accidentally forgot to return our rented chair on the return date so we dropped it off early the next morning and they were very understanding and didn’t charge a late fee! We will definitely be back to Auntie Snorkel on our next trip to Maui!read more

Karen P.
We will be travelling to Maui in a few weeks but wanted to book some things in advance before arriving. On a recommendation from friends who frequently use Auntie Snorkel, we booked our Grand Wailea Luau tickets through their website. Had a couple of questions about the luau and they were immediately answered. We will definitely be visiting Auntie Snorkel once we arrive in Maui for other things such as snorkel rentals as well as excursions. Looking forward to it... Mahalo!!read more

Excellent service, pricing and fantastic equipment. Will never go anywhere else for our equipment again! The best place by far! Highly recommend!

Hannah T.
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

Michael B.
Fantastic service, we did not need face masks so instead of getting two sets we were offered one consisting of two sets of flippers which was great for both of us for a week. This was to go along with a day of paddleboarding.read more

Great service from Scott. I will be recommending Auntie Snorkel to everyone!!

Hatem A.
Great service and price. We rented a beach package with cooler, umbrella and two chairs for $15, Easy in, easy out. Mark and Scott, I believe, were the two individuals we communicated with and they made the process very easy. I'll return to Auntie Snorkel for any of my watersports rental needs next time we are fortunate to be back in Maui!read more

Wayne W.
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

Chris N.
Was recently in Maui for the week and bought a package deal for snorkel gear and a paddle board. Mark took the time to show us how to use the equipment, where to go, and overall made it a pleasant experience. We did opt to upgrade to the full snorkel mask but did not feel any pressure from Mark to do so, he just explained the pros and cons and let us make the decision.Would recommend to all my friends and will use this shop for all my future needs on Maui.read more

Kyle B.
Excellent service! Staff was super helpful with sunscreen recommendations and post burn care. In addition to GoPro rental the team was very accommodating when we returned with some minor damage due to wear n tear.Highly recommended and will definitely return in the future!read more

Brandon W.
Rented snorkeling gear for the week. Didn’t have any issues. Mask was fitted perfectly. Great price, great service, would book again

Sarah L.
Incredible customer service! Was my first time snorkeling so I was a bit nervous. Mark recommended the full face mask (game-changer) and a life vest. Used a Groupon for a 2-day full face mask rental. We also went to a small spot that Mark recommended and saw 8 turtles! Such a great store!read more

Steven L.
Amazing customer service!! Renting equipment here was fast and easy. They hooked me up with everything I needed for a great vacation! Will be renting from here again next time we visit. Thanks guys!read more

Josh K.
Great place to rent snorkel gear! Very good prices and fantastic customer service. Thanks, Scott!

Aaron B.
Theses guys were awesome! Super reasonably priced high quality rentals! Definitely will be back

Charan S.
To start with, we received excellent customer service at store. Good value for money, the prices were discounted by half. Enough time was provided to wear the gear and check if well fitted. One of our snorkeling mask had an issue which was refunded on reporting. Overall a friendly experience at store with information on where and how to go about snorkeling. I highly recommend visiting this place for all your snorkeling needs!read more

James P.
Great experience here! Cheaper than most other stores, but still super high quality. Very friendly and knowledgable staff. Seamless experience with our stand up paddle board rental. Would definitely come back!read more

Gregory M.
Great place for renting snorkelling equipment. We rented full face masks and life vests. Got the best rates on the island. And shoutout to Scott for being so friendly and sharing tips for amateur snorkellersread more

C S
Scott was great, very professional and easy going. Renting beach equipment here was a breeze. We'll definitely be stopping by here on our next trip!

Anthony M.
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

moshbas2
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

Lisa G.
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

joseph S.
Top notch customer service. Rental was ready and easy to pick up. Drop off was a cinch. Watched as they helped a family get set up for snorkel rentals and the care and attention given to make sure they all had exactly what they needed and wanted was impressive. Will use Auntie Snorkel every time I’m in Kihei again. 🤙🏽read more

Gerald Y.
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

When in Rome... as the saying goes. Well...when in Maui, you gotta have a snorkel set available full time. Your cheating yourself if you don't. Yes there...read more

We rented a boogie board and skim board online and picked up an hour later at the store. Their prices are hands down the best in town and the equipment was in perfect shape! We decided to keep the rentals an extra day and all it took was a quick call to extend. We will always rent at Aunties along with recommending them to all of our friends and clients who vacation in Maui!!read more

Brian B.
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

Super easy to book on line. Very friendly owners. Great equipment and conveniently located right across from a great beach.

Ron N.
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

My family and I were very satisfied with Auntie’s Snorkel rentals during our Maui vacation. The process was quick and easy, and not to mention amazingly affordable! I recommend anyone in need of rentals for their beach day to stop by Auntie’s and check out all they have to offer. The premium snorkel gear was easy to use and of great quality, will definitely be back to rent from them again. Mahalo!read more

Wasabi A.
Rented some paddle boards for the whole day but the tide and waves picked up within the first hour and we weren't able to go out into the water.

Danvi V.
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).

So happy we found Auntie Snorkel. Scott is knowledgeable, and does not try to push you into anything like other excursion places around. Highly recommend visiting Auntie Snorkel and Scott for all excursions, rentals, and even information about the area.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.

Jonathan O.
Our family loved this place so much! Really fast, fun and friendly staff, great affordable gear and best of all their handy Google map selection of the best beaches in Maui to snorkel at. We went to almost every beach they recommended and had an amazing time at each one. Highly recommended!read more

Kent B.
Wonderful experience renting only what I needed, for very reasonable prices. The wet suit helped a lot as the water was colder than expected. Great service. Great advice. Great fun.read more

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.
Highly recommend for snorkel rental. We brought our masks and snorkel and rented fins. Rented full set snorkel gear and boogie boards for the kids. Scott gave a discount over.the full week price since we were only renting for 5 days. You can also book tours and luaus.read more

Needed snorkel gear for the whole family during our vacation in Maui and we could not have picked a better place to get it from! Auntie Snorkel is not part of any chain and is a locally run mom and pop shop. Scott was knowledgeable, friendly and set us up in no time! This would definitely be our first stop for snorkel gear on Maui!read more

McKenna M.
Went to Hawaii a few weeks ago with my Dad & sister. Their shop is so close to our condo its extremely convenient. Just walking distance to all three of the kaemoele beaches makes it a reliable place to rent paddle board and walk down to the ocean. The staff are the friendliest people ive ever met and well informed of all excursions and prices. Great deals and good smiles. thank you!! form the MITCHELL FAMILYread more

Mark was so accommodating!! Quick delivery within a couple hours of booking. Thank you!!

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.

I would recommend auntie snorkel to anyone who is just learning or has questions. The helpful staff really make all the difference.read more

Amazing customer service, Scott is awesome! he was able to squeeze us in last minute for a whale watch. We priced compared and in doing so not only found auntie snorkel cheaper but a lot more knowledgeable.read more

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

Auntie Snorkel is the "go to" place for rentals in Kihei. First of all, their hours beat the competition hands down.

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

Scott is the man... I walked in earlier this week to a mad house of tourists all looking to rent some fun gear and Scott acknowledged everyone and divided his attention among everyone leaving us all feeling like we were taken care of and made to feel important. Super personable, fun and funny. On top of all that they have great gear, better prices than the competitors and the location is right in the hub of all the best beaches. We’re heading back to Maui in 2020 and won’t bother looking anywhere else than auntie snorkel.read more

John R.
What a great shop! Scott hooked us up with all the gear we needed for our family to snorkel and did it with grace and style. When we checked in to extend our rental by a day so we could get out one more time he gave us the extra day free of charge. Scott, while not tall nor terribly handsome, was super kind and shared helpful tips with us about how to use the gear and where to head! I recommend this place wholeheartedly.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
