Molokini, Turtle Town and Maui Reefs
Maui Snorkeling
Maui snorkeling tours head for reefs, crater water and turtle areas from Maalaea, Kaanapali and Lahaina. Molokini, Turtle Town, Turtle Arches, Honolua Bay, Coral Gardens and Lanai routes all bring a different piece of Maui’s underwater world into view.
Your Maui Snorkeling Tour
Maui snorkeling has a lot of different moods, from early Maalaea boats heading toward Molokini to Kaanapali catamarans sliding along the West Maui coast. Some routes focus on one reef stop, while longer cruises pair snorkeling with breakfast, lunch, drinks, dolphin watching or sunset.
Current Maui snorkel options include Molokini and Turtle Town cruises aboard Calypso, Pacific Whale Foundation, Aloha Blue, Aqua Adventures and Malolo. West Maui routes include Sea Maui from Kaanapali, Honolua Bay snorkel sails, Quicksilver Turtle Reef and Coral Gardens, and Lanai snorkel cruises with possible dolphin sightings.
Choose by departure harbor, snorkel site, boat size, meal inclusions and how long your party wants to be on the water. Check gear, flotation support, food, drinks, pickup details and ocean conditions before booking, because each route has its own pace and water entry.
