About this tour

Set out along the West Maui coast aboard the MAKAI, where ocean views and the chance to spot marine life make the journey part of the adventure. This 150-minute Maui Dolphins & Turtles snorkel tour pairs a coastal cruise with a stop to explore the water.

Keep watch for dolphins and flying fish from the boat, with whales possible during the season. Below the surface, look for turtles, tropical reef fish, and colorful coral. Wildlife sightings are not guaranteed, but the crew helps make the most of your time on the water. New to snorkeling or feeling rusty? The crew can offer an introduction or refresher, and flotation gear is available for everyone. Guests entering the water need basic swimming abilities, as there is no place to stand.

Check in 15 minutes early near Mala Boat Ramp in Lahaina and look for the captain in a MAKAI ADVENTURES shirt; the temporary meeting spot has no signage. Bring your curiosity and enjoy a refreshing Maui Dolphins & Turtles snorkel tour along Maui’s western shore.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 3 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 7.3.
