Snorkel Maui’s reefs with Hawaiian green sea turtles, then enjoy build-your-own tacos, an open bar, and relaxing catamaran comforts.

About this tour

Set sail from Ma'alaea Harbor for a relaxed Maui Catamaran Snorkel with Turtles, where reef exploration meets island-style tacos and drinks. Aboard a spacious 65-foot catamaran, head to a Maui reef site to look for Hawaiian green sea turtles and colorful tropical fish. The late-morning outing is described as having turtles guaranteed, while weather and seasonal conditions may affect destinations and itinerary.

Premium snorkel gear, flotation, reef-safe essentials, and instruction are provided, making it easier for first-timers to get comfortable in the water. After snorkeling, build your own tacos, enjoy the open bar with local spirits and specialty margaritas, or choose a zero-proof drink featuring Ritual NA Tequila. Waterslides offer another way to get into the ocean, and the shaded A/C cabin, deck daybeds, and lounging areas make it easy to relax between activities. A professional photographer captures moments onboard and in the water.

Arrive 15 minutes early at Slip #56 on the Oceanside Pier at Ma'alaea Harbor. Bring your own towel, then enjoy a Maui Catamaran Snorkel with Turtles that pairs ocean time with an easygoing afternoon on deck.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.72 from 176 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 6.5.
