Best snorkeling tour in Maui.

Reef safe is a marketing term propagated by ignorant eco warriors that get their info from Instagram.

You will likely not find a single manufacturer that can prove their product is actually reef safe or contains verified "reef safe" sized particles. Ask for scientific and empirical verification of particle size or lab testing results of the product and see how often you are flat out ignored. I have a lot of info, dm me if you are interested.

The biggest reason for marine ecosystem decline in Hawaii is warmer yearly water Temps, agricultural runoff, and overfishing. Anyone blaming it on sunscreen and tourism is not thinking critically.

A spf/upf shirt is good. It's going to be cooler water temps as well, just rent a wetsuit. Stay warm/protected from sun/also more buoyant in the water = better experience.
