Additional Information

Your snorkeling trip in West Maui sets off from Kaanapali Beach. Be on the lookout for Hawaiian spinner dolphins, bottle nose dolphins, and during colder months, witness the migration of humpback whales from Alaska to our shores in Maui. The Captain will select the best places to visit based on the day’s sea conditions. Once immersed in the water, expect to see colorful exotic fish, honu (Hawaiian green sea turtles), vibrant reefs, and hopefully, more wild aquatic life. Once we leave our second location, you will be treated to a buffet lunch on the boat and given access to our selection of premium beers, fancy cocktails and other beverages as we casually sail back to Ka’anapali Beach.

Cruise and snorkel with my teenage kids!! - I went with my 18 and 15 year old children. Crew was awesome! Snorkeling was in the beautiful reefs off of Kapalua. Food and drinks were a perfect compliment. And fellow guests on board were fun to hang out with. I would highly recommend!!!

Swimming With Turtles and Seeing Dolphins was Amazing! - Seeing turtles and dolphins was amazing. The ship glided through the waves with ease providing a very comfortable trip and the crew were great providing equipment, food, and drinks any time they were needed. An onboard photographer, Emily, took awesome pics of us with a sea turtle.

Worth the cost and so much more! - Warm welcomes and good vibes as soon as we got on board. I was a little nervous about the early wind but got right to the first of two snorkel spots for the day right on time and had a filling breakfast and coffee on the way. A good hour in the water and lost count of how many turtles I saw, somewhere around 20. One took me by surprise and I ended up almost face-to-face! Nothing gets folks on the boat faster than “lunch is served and the bar is open” so took my spot in line immediately. Second spot was nice, found a bunch of cool fish and sea urchins, couple folks spotted some octopus. Overall great experience, went with the photo package and glad I did, great way to relive the day again and again!
