The experience
The boat leaves from Ka'anapali Beach and heads straight to one of Maui's most productive snorkeling spots on the west side. You'll get snorkel lessons before entering the water, and a guide stays with you at every location, not on the boat, but underwater, showing you where the turtles are and what the reef holds. The group stays small enough that everyone gets a personalized experience and a shaded, comfortable seat with storage space on board.
Bring a moderate level of fitness and the ability to climb three vertical steps to beach-load the boat. You will get wet. The outing runs about two hours total, with time in the water at the reef and time on the boat between spots. Snorkel equipment, bottled water and snacks are included, so you don't need to pack or pay separately for those. Children are welcome from age 5 onward.

What will I see when I snorkel at the west-side reef?
The reef holds turtles, colorful reef fish and coral. A guide in the water with you points out what to look for and stays with the group at every stop.
Do I need to know how to snorkel already?
No. Snorkel lessons are included before you enter the water, so beginners can learn the basics on the boat before heading to the reef.
How long does the whole outing take?
The snorkeling runs about two hours from start to finish, including the boat ride to the reef and time in the water.
What happens if I'm not a strong swimmer?
You should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness to participate. A guide is in the water with you at all times, and the group stays small so there's always supervision.

Snorkel equipment, bottled water, snacks, and a shaded seat on the boat are all included. Bring a towel of your own and wear clothes you don't mind getting wet.
Where does the boat pick up, and is there parking?
The boat beach-loads from Ka'anapali Beach, so you walk to the shore and board there. Public transportation options are available nearby if you don't have a car.
