Mobile ticket
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.

5.00I use Sea Maui at Wednesday staying on Kaanapali Beach. If I don’t rent a car, I just walk two minutes down the path and get on their catamaran as well as as other excursions that leave from the beach, which makes it really nice. The service is amazing, their knowledge is vast, the food is outstanding in my opinion. Snorkeling equipment is top notch.
Sea Maui is No Ka Oi! - we live here, we know!

5.00Living on Maui, you get pretty spoiled when it comes to ocean tours. I’ve done just about everything over the years — sunset sails, snorkeling charters, whale watches with different companies — so it says a lot when I say that **Sea Maui** is hands down the best boat to go out on. From the moment you step onboard, you can tell they run a top-notch operation. The boat is always incredibly clean and well cared for, which honestly makes such a difference when you’re spending several hours at sea. The crew consistently stands out too — they’re attentive without being overbearing, genuinely friendly, and clearly passionate about what they do. Shout out to JENNN! for taking such good care of us last weekend ;-) The snorkel and whale watch experiences themselves are always fantastic. The team knows where to go, how to time things, and they’re great about sharing knowledge about the marine life and the island in a way that feels authentic and engaging. And let’s be honest — the drinks never disappoint. They’re generous, well-made, and just add to the relaxed, fun atmosphere onboard. As someone who lives here and has seen a lot of tour companies come and go, Sea Maui consistently delivers an experience that feels polished, professional, and genuinely enjoyable. They also give off the vibe of being an amazing company to work for — their staff always seems happy, cohesive, and proud of what they do, which really shows in the service they provide. I recommend Sea Maui to every friend and family member who visits the island, and I’ll keep doing so. If you’re looking for a memorable, high-quality ocean experience while visiting Maui, you really can’t go wrong with them.

5.00We had an excellent, long snorkeling experience with opportunities to see plenty of fish, turtles, and more. We also saw so many humpback whales. The staff was kind, friendly, helpful, and informative. The food and drinks were delicious! I highly recommend this trip.
Amazing Time

5.00We have done almost all of the snorkel tours on Maui and we would say this one is the best one in regard to food and staff. The breakfast had some of the best bacon and fluffy eggs we had the whole time we were on the island. The snorkel spot wasn’t crowded and allowed for ample time to enjoy the activity. Staff was on it for drinks. Highly recommend SeaMaui for all the tours they offer.
Great day of snorkeling and whale watching!

5.00An absolutely top‑notch experience from start to finish! Our entire trip was fantastic, from Captain Linda to the crew—Jessie, Jen, and Linda. Everyone was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful, which made the whole experience feel welcoming and stress‑free. The breakfast was simple but very tasty, with plenty of food so no one went hungry. Lunch was great as well. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun, well‑run day on the water.
Absolutely wonderful...

5.00What an amazing experience! We had such a great crew, thank you Phil Kyle and Luke! It was amazing how many whales we saw, an even mom and calf came right up near the boat. Snorkeling was good, they provided quality equipment and good tips before we jumped in the water. Breakfast and Lunch with beverages included. Would recommend to my friends and family.
