- 🐢My Splash Maui – guided shore snorkel with turtles
Book it on their website.
2. Reserve me. Book the same date and start time here. Add your tour name and confirmation number, then pay a $100 deposit to lock me in.
3. Just swim. I meet you at the tour, guide you in the water and shoot the whole time. You pay the balance on tour day. Your edited gallery arrives once you've paid in full.

About Yuri
Aloha, I'm Yuri. 🤙 I'm a certified snorkel guide and underwater photographer on Maui. I stay right beside you in the water, show you where the turtles are, and capture the moments you'd otherwise miss. Whether you're solo, a couple, a small group or family, you'll have a private guide right beside you the whole time. Solo travelers swim with confidence, couples finally get photos together, and families get memories everyone's actually in.
FAQ
1. Is the tour included in your price?
No. You book your snorkel tour directly with Makena Coast Charters or My Splash Maui. My Photo ($250) or Photo + Video ($450) package is added on top.
2. How does payment work?
A $100 deposit through PayPal reserves your session. The balance ($150 or $350) is due on tour day, and I'll text you a payment link. Your photos and video are delivered once you've paid in full.
3. What if the weather is bad or I need to cancel?
I follow your partner tour's 24-hour policy. If you cancel 24+ hours before your tour, or the partner cancels for weather or safety, you can move your deposit to a new date or get a full refund. Cancellations within 24 hours of the tour aren't refundable.
4. What if I can't swim?
No problem. Book My Splash Maui's First-Time Snorkel for Non-Swimmers: you'll have a life jacket and a big float board, and I'll be right beside you. You'll still get great photos, even if you stay on the board. (Makena's boat tours are for comfortable swimmers.)
5. When do I get my photos and Reel?
Edited photo gallery within 48 hours, and your Reel within 72 hours, after full payment.
6. I'm traveling solo. Is this for me?
Yes, it's made for you. You get a local guide in the water and photos of you, not selfies.
7. Can my partner and I both be in the shots?
Of course. Couples are my favorite, and you'll get photos of you together.
8. Can I post the photos?
Please do! Tag @myguyinmaui and I'll share my favorites.
Your Maui trip is short. Make sure you're in the photos.
Pick your tour, reserve me for the same time, and just enjoy the water.
