About Quicksilver – Turtle Reef & Coral Gardens Morning Snorkel Cruise
Morning waters off West Maui set the stage for a relaxed 4.5-hour snorkeling adventure aboard Quicksilver. The cruise heads to Turtle Reef and Coral Gardens, where clear water, colorful coral and frequent Hawaiian green sea turtle sightings create an inviting setting for both first-time and experienced snorkelers.
Once at the snorkel site, the friendly crew provides gear, flotation devices and instruction before you enter the water to explore among tropical fish and thriving marine life. Back on board, stretch out in the shaded seating areas, enjoy open-air views from the upper deck or add a little more excitement with the waterslide and second-deck "leap of faith" jumping platform.
A light breakfast is served in the morning, followed later by a casual lunch with hot dogs, chips and soda as the catamaran cruises along Maui's coastline.
