Snorkel remote Maui and Lanai spots, hear a marine naturalist, and watch for dolphins on a small-group eco-raft adventure.

About this tour

Set out from Maui for a close-to-the-water adventure across the channel to Lanai, where remote snorkel spots and open-ocean wildlife make every stretch of the ride memorable. This small-group eco-raft tour pairs snorkeling with the chance to spot dolphins from an eye-level vantage point.

Choose the tour option that suits your day: the 5-hour snorkel tour, a 2-hour dolphin watch, or a combo tour. On snorkel trips, certified lifeguards provide instruction and safety guidance, and snorkel gear and flotation devices are available. A marine naturalist shares educational narration as you explore. Refreshments include fruit, snacks, and drinks; snorkel tours also offer a sweet pastry. Dolphins may appear throughout the year, while whales can be seen during migration from December through April.

Maui Lanai eco-raft snorkel and dolphin watch tours offer a friendly, small-group way to experience the water. Check your ticket for the selected option, arrive 30 minutes early, and get ready to discover Maui and Lanai from the sea.

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 7.5. Top 45% in Maui means it ranks in the top 45% of tours in Maui by this score.
