Your West Maui Snorkel adventure departs from Kaanapali Beach. Along the way keep your eyes open for Hawaiian spinner dolphins, bottle nose dolphins and during the winter months you can experience the humpback whales that migrate from Alaska to our Maui waters. The Captain will determine the best sites to visit that day based upon current water conditions. Once in the water, you will observe beautiful tropical fish, honu (Hawaiian green sea turtles), vibrant reef, and hopefully some other wildlife surprises. Then after our second location, back on board you will enjoy a buffet lunch and will be offered access to our premium beers, hand crafted cocktails and other libations as we take a leisurely cruise back to Ka’anapali Beach.

5.00Incredible views, great tour guides - Linda, our captain, was personable and knowledgeable. We saw whales on our way to and from the snorkel spot and our snorkel experience itself was magical. Beautiful water, colorful fish and a few turtles!
Perfect Day

5.00Great pace, amazing crew, awesome whale watching and snorkeling. Plus food was delicious, tunes were spot on and drinks divine. We had the best day in the sun with Charlie, Travis and Emily!! We want to return for an evening sunset sail. We loved the relaxed vibe and super comfortable catamaran.
Great crew

4.00Great crew. Lots of fun. Saw whales, a pod of dolphins swam with the boat, turtles during snorkeling. Only drawback was the location of the snorkeling. We weren’t that far off the beach and there were A LOT of other boats with a ton of other snorkelers. On past excursions we’d take a 40-ish minute boat ride to a secluded bay so it was really private. On this trip we honestly could’ve swam shore. I would have preferred to be further away from civilization. But the whales/dolphins/turtles we did get to see offset the disappointment of the location.
Unforgettable Maui Adventure with Sea Maui Team

5.00Stellar! I mean it. From the very start Linda, Emily and Jess took us on an unforgettable experience. They led us through the maui coral reefs, with great attention to detail, consistent care and consideration, safe and fun vibes throughout on a bright beautiful, well maintained catamaran. We loved every interaction, the food (they took care of all our dietary needs) and drinks. We also finally got to see the humpback whales everyone’s been raving about (closest we’ve ever been to whales) - total bonus! The glorious seaside, the green rainforests on the mountains with the bright coral reefs brought out at least ~ 10 different species of fish we captured on our gopro while snorkeling and oh yeah! a super friendly green sea turtle we named mike, whom we had the honor of swimming with for about 1.5 hours. Kudos to the sea maui team on a 5/5 experience. What an absolute treat!
Enjoyed the cruise, whale wstching and visiting and hearing personable stories from the crew about their Maui experience

5.00Excellent, professional crew; friendly, attentive and personable. Was interesting to hear about the whales and their migration and retreating in Maui to mate and have babies.
Best snorkel adventure!

5.00Out of the several snorkel trips I’ve been on in Hawaii, this one was by far the very best! Not only did we have a great snorkel experience, we also saw several whales who put on quite the show! Our crew, Carrie, Jen, and James were top shelf! They brought so much knowledge and fun to our trip!! This adventure and crew can’t be beat!

5.00We had an amazing time on our half day snorkel trip. The crew was absolutely fantastic - Linda Jess Charlie & Emily! They were so nice, informative, and helpful! The food was great and drinks were delicious. They were attentive and so personal. We had a great snorkel experience at the spot- seeing sea turtles, a shark, tons of fish, and even some adhoc whale watching! My husband and I could not have asked for a better trip, we ended up booking three more trips!! We did a sunset cruise which was so fun. As well as the express snorkel morning trip- where the snorkeling conditions were immaculate. We saw turtles, eagle ray, sharks, pufferfish, octopus, and countless beautiful tropical fish. We enjoyed being out on the boat and all the crews were amazing, personable, super friendly.
A very satisfying snorkel experience

5.00I really enjoyed this trip. The staff both on and off the boat were extremely helpful. They provided breakfast, lunch, and all snorkeling equipment -- even flippers for my 6 year old grand-daughter! We saw lots of fish, turtles and other things.
