Cruise from Kaanapali Beach to Lanai for two snorkeling stops, dramatic coastal scenery, and chances to spot dolphins and seasonal whales.

About this tour

Set out from Kaanapali Beach for a half-day voyage to Lanai, where rugged cliffs, sea caves, and clear blue water frame a memorable snorkeling adventure. This Lahaina Lanai snorkel tour travels aboard a custom-built 46-foot vessel, with an experienced captain sharing local knowledge along the way.

Take in striking coastal landmarks, including Shipwreck, Five Sisters, Shark Fin, the Cathedrals, and Sweetheart Rock, then stop at two snorkeling spots to explore the marine life below the surface. Snorkeling gear, flotation devices, drinks, and a continental breakfast with pastries and fresh fruit are provided. A restroom and fresh water shower are available aboard. Keep watch for spinner dolphins, and during whale season, December 15 through May 15, for humpback whales.

The Lahaina Lanai snorkel tour departs from the beach near Whaler’s Village. Arrive 30 minutes early and be ready to board from the sand. Book your place for a day of ocean scenery, snorkeling, and wildlife watching.

How this score is calculated

This tour scores 4.62 on Viator and 3.43 on GetYourGuide. Ratings on these sites cluster near the top of the 5-star scale, so we compare each one with all other ratings on the same site before combining them.

How the score works and rating distribution in Maui
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.0.
