About
Visit 1-2 snorkel stops and dolphin watch on Maui's award winning eco-raft Lanai snorkel tour.
Departing from Lahaina we cross the channel to Lanai to experience the island’s sea cliffs, remote snorkel spots and search for dolphins.
Snorkel stops are for all levels of snorkelers, beginner friendly and include one-on-one snorkel instructions. You can snorkel with tropical fish and may even swim with turtles.
Our marine naturalists share fun facts about marine animals and the islands and our lifeguard in the water acts as a guide and snorkel instructor.
Take a snorkel break and enjoy sweet pastries, fruit, optional lunch wraps, maui style potato chips, cookies and beverages.
New and clean snorkel gear and flotation devices are included. We also provide a large “lily” page float that attaches to the boat for those who want to hang out near the boat or want additional flotation support.
