Overview

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.

5.00What 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.

5.00This excursion was awesome! We saw so many whales and the guides got us right up to the whales. Travis, Emily and Charlie were excellent guides and hosts. The food was yummy, there is a place for your bags/towels. Charlie, a self-professed whale nerd, gave us lively descriptions of whales behavior and fun facts. The snorkeling was incredible!! We saw so many different kinds of fish and sea turtles swam right alongside us. We loved this excursion and would highly recommend it!
Awesome crew, Charlie’s...

5.00What a special day! Second trip with Sea Maui and of course we were treated to spinner dolphins, whales, colorful fish and turtles. The crew of Phil, James and Kyle were outstanding. This is a wonderful way to explore the glorious island of Maui. Highly recommended!
Great half day adventure.

5.00Had to reschedule because of high surf. On the rescheduled trip it was rough waters for about an hour, then 1.5 hours snorkeling in Honolua Bay, with lots of turtles, eagle rays, and many different fish. Staff was great. Food was good and plentiful and it looked like they were pouring a lot of drinks. Recommended, for sure.
