SNORKELING TRIPS

Redline's raft trips range from a focused two-hour Molokini outing to a longer South Maui snorkeling day. Small-boat travel and a vertical boarding ladder make this an active choice rather than a large-boat cruise. Compare the exact itinerary and check the operator's participation requirements, conditions and available dates before reserving.

My Splash offers a Wailea Beach lesson specifically designed for non-swimmers, alongside separate sea-scooter and Turtle Town snorkeling packages. The non-swimmer designation does not apply automatically to every tour. Choose the exact lesson or excursion, then confirm its swimming requirements, meeting place and current availability with the operator or on Viator.

Maui Custom Charters offers private reef-snorkeling charters from Maalaea, with different sailing and powerboat packages. Vessel choice affects capacity, trip length and the onboard experience. Choose the specific charter rather than assuming every boat has the same inclusions, and confirm participation requirements, planned sites and available dates with the operator before booking.

Maui SUP Adventures combines stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling in a private South Maui outing. Select the SUP and Snorkel combination if you want both activities; a paddleboarding lesson or sightseeing-only option is a different product. Check the selected tour's meeting location, participation requirements, duration and available dates before booking.

Gungho Sailing offers a private snorkel sail that promises a personalized and exclusive sea adventure. Aboard a classic sailing yacht, guests explore Maui’s vibrant marine ecosystems, snorkeling in secluded spots teeming with aquatic life. The experience combines the tranquility of sailing with the thrill of underwater discovery, enhanced by attentive, bespoke service.

Eco Sea Scooter Snorkeling Academy offers guided West Maui reef trips with separate shared and private options. A sea scooter does not remove the need to meet the tour's swimming and participation requirements. Flotation rentals are a different service, not a guided snorkeling trip. Confirm the selected package, meeting point and available dates before booking.

Trilogy's snorkeling choices cover Molokini, West Maui and Lanai aboard sailing catamarans, with meals included in the assessed outings. Pick the itinerary first: some departures board from a beach and others from a harbor. Snorkeling locations can change with conditions. Verify the exact package and available dates on the booking page.

Alii Nui advertises a Molokini snorkeling outing with meals, drinks and onboard comforts. Confirm the vessel and inclusions for the exact package you book; amenities advertised for one yacht or direct-booking option may not apply to another Viator listing. Check the selected tour's participation requirements, conditions and current availability before reserving.

Maui Snorkel Charters runs a short Molokini trip and a longer Molokini-and-coast outing from Kihei aboard a small adventure boat. These are active ocean-swimming experiences rather than passive sightseeing cruises. Compare the itinerary and confirm the selected product's current age, swimming and boarding requirements, as well as available dates, before booking.

Zephyr runs guided snorkeling in South Maui, with separate options for first-time non-swimmers and for snorkeling after dark. These are different experiences, not interchangeable packages. Before booking, check the selected tour's swimming requirements, meeting instructions and current availability with the operator or on Viator.

Sea Maui's West Maui snorkeling trips board at Kaanapali Beach. Morning and afternoon packages differ, so compare the scheduled length, food and drinks for the specific trip you select. Guests should check beach-boarding and swimming requirements before booking. Current departure instructions, dates and availability come from Viator or the operator's booking page.

Gabriel's Ohana uses clear kayaks with pontoons for paddling at Olowalu. Reef snorkeling is optional or part of a separately selected package, so check that it is included in your booking. Kayak equipment does not imply hotel pickup. Confirm swimming requirements, meeting instructions, the exact activities included and available dates before reserving.

Blue Water Rafting offers options from a two-hour Molokini express to a longer trip along the Kanaio coast and sea caves. Trip length and a planned second snorkeling stop depend on the itinerary you choose. Compare the exact outing and confirm current participation requirements, conditions, departure details and available dates before booking.

Gemini combines West Maui reef snorkeling with a sailing catamaran, lunch and a shaded cabin. Guests board from Kaanapali Beach, and the captain chooses the reef according to conditions rather than guaranteeing a specific site. Review beach-boarding and swimming requirements, the selected package's inclusions and current availability before making a reservation.

Sail Maui's Molokini Performance Sail blends high-speed sailing with exceptional snorkeling at Molokini Crater. Aboard a state-of-the-art catamaran, guests experience exhilarating sails across Maui's waters, followed by snorkeling in the crater's clear, fish-rich waters. It's an action-packed adventure that marries sailing prowess with underwater exploration, offering a unique, memorable experience.

Hawaii Ocean Rafting's small-boat options include Lanai reef snorkeling and a Maui snorkeling outing with seasonal whale watching. Its dolphin-sightseeing-only trip does not include snorkeling. Choose the itinerary that includes the activity you want, then confirm current departure details, participation requirements, seasonality and available dates with the operator or on Viator.

Kai Kanani offers sunrise and later-morning Molokini-and-Turtle Town snorkeling from Maluaka Beach in Makena. Boarding involves walking through the water rather than stepping aboard at a harbor dock. Check the selected package's meal inclusions and any limited resort-transfer arrangements; verify participation requirements, conditions and current availability before booking.

Maui Snorkeling's five-hour morning outing aboard Lani Kai II plans Molokini and a second snorkel stop, with meals and a waterslide. The shorter afternoon trip usually heads to Coral Gardens instead. These itineraries are not interchangeable; choose the departure that matches your plans and confirm sites, requirements and current availability before booking.

Kaanapali Ocean Adventures offers powered-boat snorkeling toward Lanai and West Maui from Kaanapali Beach, using Zodiac boarding. Shared trips, private charters and sea-scooter options have different inclusions and age rules. Select the exact experience, then check its boarding and swimming requirements, departure instructions and available dates on the booking page.

PacWhale Eco-Adventures offers a Molokini and Turtle Arches cruise with naturalist interpretation. Its smaller Ocean Explorer outing is a distinct, more active option with different age and swimming requirements. Compare the actual boat and package rather than assuming the same rules apply to both. Check current itineraries, conditions and available dates before booking.

Calypso's longer snorkeling outing plans Molokini and Turtle Town, with meals, multiple decks and waterslides. Its glass-bottom viewing feature is different from the underwater viewing room aboard Four Winds. Compare the boat's features with your group's needs, then confirm swimming and boarding requirements, weather-dependent sites and current availability on the selected booking page.

Maui Adventure Tours Kayak Co. combines kayaking and guided reef snorkeling at Olowalu. It is a different business from Maui Adventure Cruises, which offers boat excursions. The assessed kayak-and-snorkel package requires basic swimming ability. Check the exact tour's participation rules, meeting instructions, conditions and current availability before reserving.

Maui Classic Charters operates two distinct snorkeling boats. Four Winds offers a Molokini-focused morning with an underwater viewing room and waterslide; Maui Magic is a faster-boat option with two planned snorkel sites. Compare the selected vessel's itinerary and participation requirements. Sites depend on conditions, and current dates and availability must be checked on the booking page.

Pride of Maui and Elua are separate boat experiences: Pride of Maui has a waterslide, while the Elua power catamaran has an air-conditioned lounge. Their assessed morning itineraries plan Molokini and Turtle Town, subject to conditions. Compare the selected boat's amenities and participation requirements, and check current availability on its booking page.
