Snorkeling is Maui's #1 Tour and Activity!

Never snorkeled in Maui before? Snorkeling in Maui is simple, can be learned in a matter of minutes and mastered on your first outing. Snorkeling is easiest to learn with the assistance of one of the crew members on a Maui snorkeling tour, trip or cruise.

There is a reason people love snorkeling on Maui. The ocean waters surrounding Maui and its neighbor islands of Lanai and Molokiniare comfortably warm, have great visibility (often in excess of 100 feet), and are teeming with beautiful coral formations and colorful tropical fish. Inter-island day snorkeling trips from Maui to Lanai and Molokini provide the very best snorkeling, no question about it. We highly recommend them.

Snorkel over fantastic spires and crevices of coral, watch for eels, starfish, rays, lobster, or even a giant ulua. While snorkeling on Maui the panorama is hypnotic: swaying limu and sea urchins, the endless shifting of the sandy bottom between coral cliffs.

Here are a few of the Maui snorkeling charters that are ready to take you on a snorkeling adventure:

Aloha Blue Charters - is a Molokini snorkel tour, wirth the added excitement of sport fishing along the way that adds extra excitement.

Snorkeling is a huge activity here on Maui and we have many types of vessels to take you to the great places that you couldn’t just visit along the shoreline. The most popular snorkel spots we have are the island of Molokini, the island of Lanai, Oluwalu, the reefs surrounding the Makena area, La Peruse Bay, Thousand Peaks and Honolua Bay.

The boat you choose to take may vary depending upon your needs or desires. We have really large boats for folks that want a really stable ride. Power boats and power catamarans are among the fastest of the boats available. In all actuality the zodiac type boats are probably the very fastest though they are much smaller than vessels most people equate with snorkel boats. These are among my most favorite however since they just skim the surface of the ocean and when you get to a special spot you can grab your gear and jump overboard in a moments notice. Sail boats are also popular among snorkel vessels and allow for the extra dimension of sailing while going to and from snorkel locations. Another favorite particularly among children are the snorkel boats with goodies like waterslides and glassbottoms on board.
