Snorkeling off Ka'anapali Beach: Morning Express with breakfast

Two and a half hours in the water, then breakfast on the way back

A two-and-a-half-hour morning snorkeling activity off Ka'anapali Beach on Maui with a live English-speaking guide, all equipment provided, and continental breakfast served onboard as you return. Check-in starts at 7:30 am during summer months. The boat motors directly to the snorkeling site, no sailing involved, so you spend the time in the water and eating, not traveling.

The experience

Want to see turtles and tropical fish without spending your whole morning on a boat? This express snorkel runs straight out to one of Maui's established snorkeling sites, gets you in the water fast, and has you back on Ka'anapali Beach by 10:30 am. All snorkeling gear and flotation devices are provided, including a range of prescription masks if you need them. The guide is live and speaks English throughout.

After snorkeling, you eat onboard as the boat motors back: continental breakfast includes a bacon, egg and cheddar mini croissant sandwich, seasonal fresh fruit, house-made mini muffins with whipped butter, coffee, juices and hot chocolate. Bring reef-safe sunscreen and a beach towel. Public transportation is nearby if you need it. Infants count as passengers under Coast Guard rules but can sit with you if you choose.
