Whale Competition Pod Video

Posted on 2011/04/27 by Frog Man


Well, whale season is officially over for us. There will be stragglers for awhile but we have shut down the tours. Just a few days ago Jennifer Johnson working aboard the Quicksilver posted this video of whales competing for the attention of  female whales off the coast of Maui. We will miss our whales for awhile but they’ll be back in 6 months ready to birth some brand new gentle giants. We’ll see you next year you big palookas!

Whale season finishing, fish in the water swinging…

Snorkeling with the fishes, Maui Hawaii - by Ali Young

Picture by Ali Young 2011

The whales are slowly taking their leave back to Alaska and points north, where they will feed for the summer. They’ll be back next year and in the meantime the fish activity should increase with the warmer waters. So get over here and start snorkeling!

As the waters warm, snorkeling off Maui gets better and better. Come on and enjoy the spring time sunshine as the yearly cycle returns extra sunshine to the islands.

Maui has incomparable snorkel spots from the awesome majesty of the dormant volcanic ocean crater of Molokini to the incredible excess of turtles at Turtle Town.If your on Maui now don’t leave without seeing the incredible ocean life. Easy fun and affordable rides to Molokini with snorkel equipment included via  Quicksilver’s Maui Snorkel Charters.

Maui’s Own Videographer Jennifer Johnson on the Quicksilver and Frogman II

Posted on 2011/03/22 by Frog Man

Since 2003, Jennifer Johnson has been perfecting her underwater videography on the island of Maui. Her years of experience capture your best moments snorkeling with turtles, eels, octopi, urchins and a wild variety of fantastically colored fish. She transforms each excursion into a beautiful memory of your visit to this magical realm.

You can book Jennifer for yourself (sometimes) or get a compendium DVD of everyone on your Boss Frog’s snorkel trip and clearly remember the fun you had with us.  Jennifer is also available for private and corporate sessions when she is not working on the Quicksilver or Frogman II but be warned she is in high demand. We are very happy to have her and you’ll be happy we found her when you come on a Quicksilver whale watch or on a Quicksilver or Frogman II snorkeling adventure.

We look forward to showing you more of Jennifer’s work in the coming months but for now feel free to ‘like’ her Maui Below H2o Facebook page where there is more video samples and with music. Or go ahead and contact her directly via her Maui Underwater Videographer website, be sure to tell her Boss Frog’s sent you.

More great Trip Advisor Reports.

Posted on 2011/03/06 by Frog Man

February was a great month for the Quicksilver and Frog Man boats…

breamsdream from Oregon gave uis this review about Frogman II:

“great experience :-) ”
My husband, two young children, 80 yr old mother and I purchased tickets for a snorkel trip to Molokini and turtle town off the coast of Maui. We were more than happy with the entire experience from start to finish. The captains and crew were entertaining, knowledgeable, reassuring and fun :-) I can’t say enough good about them. We would book again in a heart beat.
This was an AM trip on the frogman 2.
Aloha !

Doug from Ontario gave us this review about Quicksilver’s Dinner Cruise:

“A very enjoyable sunset dinner cruise”
We had a group of 16 people all over 65 and had a great experience on this Valentine’s Day sunset dinner cruise. It was out of Maalea. The service was absolutely excellent and the food was wonderful and the entertainment was top notch. This was a perfect cruise for us as we were all from the same condo in Kihei and was a short drive to Maalaea. It was ideal as the sun sets on the water in Maalaea which made even a better choice for us. Unfortunately, vog did cover up the sunset that evening but we had a very enjoyable time.
Thanks to the staff on Quicksilver.

Whale Watch on Quicksilver February 15, 2011 off Maui

Posted on 2011/02/16 by Frog Man

We had an awesome whale watch yesterday on Maui’s own Quicksilver and the whales got a little closer than usual. We can’t move the vessel when they are this close, we have to wait till they leave. Needless to say, no one was disappointed!

We can’t wait till you come join us, though they don’t always get this close, you never know. They almost always show off at least a little.

And remember this years whale count on February 26! You can be a part of the action and help the Pacific Whale Foundation count the whales!

In 2010, 1208 whales were counted, that was a rise of 198 whales from 2009′s tally of 1,010 whales. Alright… GO WHALES!

We Haven’t a lot of reviews from Trip Advisor. People rarely review when everything is fine. Most times reviews come in when people are dissatisfied.  The reviews we have received have been great…

“Our travel agent messed up our reservation. We were not booked along with our daughter’s vegeterian dinner. They took care of everything, and we had a great time.The food was very good, and we would go back to them next time we vacation.”

“Took the dinner cruise on 7-11, the crew did a very good job of attending to all of us. The wind didn’t play well, so the captain hugged the shoreline. This was a good move that allowed us to see the beautiful shoreline of Maui. The dinner was okay, nothing special however it was the attention that the staff gave us to that made the trip. There was a musical band made of two guys on board. They were a blast and added much humor to their music. Overall it was a good cruise and I would do it again.”
