Cross from Maui to Lanai for a small-group raft trip with 2–3 snorkel stops, island scenery, and chances to spot marine life.

About this tour

Leave the crowds behind and cross from Maui to Lanai aboard a quick, small-group rafting vessel. This six-hour adventure includes two to three snorkel stops off Lanai, where tropical fish, turtles, octopus, manta rays, and wild dolphins may appear among the island’s clear waters and dramatic sea cliffs. Wildlife sightings vary, so each trip brings its own surprises.

Snorkeling equipment and flotation devices are provided, along with breakfast, lunch, snacks, and drinks. During whale migration season, from December through April, whale watching is included in the snorkel tours. The locally owned crew welcomes guests like family, and every ticket supports active marine research and Maui’s whale entanglement response efforts.

Lanai dolphin and snorkel tours depart from Mala Boat Ramp; check in 30 minutes before your tour time. Guests must be able to swim, and children under 4 cannot join. Book your place on the water and discover Lanai from a fresh perspective.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.88 from 109 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

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 7.8. Top 33% in Maui means it ranks in the top 33% of tours in Maui by this score.
