With a knowledgeable, professional, and experienced crew, visitors explore in-the-know-destinations with an insider’s perspective. By the day, and pending season, weather, and ocean conditions, certain locations may be better than the next.
On our Maui boat tours, guests can explore Maui’s underwater world with the confidence and time-told learnings that allow them to view a myriad of tropical fish, marine life, and rare coral species in their natural environment.
GEAR
Quality snorkel gear and safety instruction are the two most essential aspects of snorkeling in Maui. On our Maui boat trips, guests use sanitary and top-of-the-line snorkel gear. Before entering the water, all guests receive snorkel safety information for on and off the boat.
Snorkel gear includes a mask (with secure and adjustable straps and clips), and fins. A snorkel mask should always fit your face correctly, and the fins should never be too tight.
UNDERWATER LIFE
Viewing underwater life in Maui is one of the most incredible experiences anyone could enjoy on holiday in Hawaii. The ocean is abundant with colorful tropical fish of many varieties, marine life, and rare coral species.
When snorkeling in Maui, visitors can expect to see a vibrant ocean ecosystem full of species that play a part in their habitat. Common marine life varieties include Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles, dolphins, manta rays, and more.
MARINE LIFE
Can we see turtles
at Molokini?
There are no turtles at Molokini, which is why we take you to a second snorkel site aptly named Turtle Town. Here, you will have the opportunity to swim with the amazing Hawaiian green sea turtles and see an entirely different reef system. They are commonly seen with their friendly counterparts, the Wrasse fish. Wrasse like to clean turtle shells, so it’s quite likely that you will see them together.
