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.

5.00The team made this trip much more than just a ride on a boat. The food options worked for the kids and adults which is a win too. I ended up booking two adventures on the same trip because of a positive experience.
Absolutely amazing, in every way!

5.00This was the 1/2 day snorkeling trip, but we were whale watching more than 1/2 the time too! The snorkeling was amazing. But, the whale watching was pure GOLD! We saw 10-15 whales, saw 20-25 full whale tail sightings, and 4-5 full whale breaches! Absolutely unbelievable!!! FAR exceeded our expectations!
WAY BETTER THAN WE COULD HAVE IMAGINED

5.00This was the 1/2 day snorkeling trip, but included more than half the time whale watching! It was amazing!!! The snorkeling was spectacular. But the whale watching was pure gold! We saw 10-15 whales and had more than 25 full whale tail sightings, plus 4-5 full whale breaches! Seeing whales jump out of the water!!!! Not just once, but 4-5 times! The drinks were great, the food was far better than expected. Overall, a MUST-DO for anyone, any age.
Crew was very good and...

Best snorkeling trip ever

5.00My wife and I snuck out of the cold Pacific Northwest for a few days of sun and fun in Maui. We took this snorkel cruise for half a day and while having been on many other such cruises, this was by far the best we have ever had. The crew was attentive professional, and went above and beyond. We saw whales breaching tail slaps, and something new for us was actually to be able to follow and film turtles under the water. Absolute fabulous time. Much praise to the crew and the company.
PERFECT DAY IN MAUI BAY

5.00Clear beautiful water at Honolua Bay… what a treat to snorkel from the boat rather than entering the murky water from the beach! Guys managing the boat were friendly, fun, and knowledgeable. Fabulous long encounter with whales that were breaching and flapping tails. Wonderful day!
We had a wonderful mom’s day snorkel. We saw so many whales and swam with turtles
