Explore Maui’s reefs and lava fields after dark on a small-group snorkel, with dive lights and a turtle guarantee.
About this tour
As daylight fades over Maui, dive lights reveal a different side of the reef. This 90-minute Maui turtle snorkeling experience pairs an after-dark swim with the chance to see Hawaiian green sea turtles among vibrant reefs and lava fields.
Join a small group for attentive guidance and premium equipment, including high-end dive lights, snorkeling gear, flotation boards, and life jackets. The tour meets at Makena Landing Park, where you’ll find the guides’ white van 100–200 yards past the restrooms; arrival is timed around sunset. Guests must be able to swim and should have a moderate level of physical fitness. Please provide each guest’s shoe size.
There’s also a turtle guarantee: if you don’t see turtles, you can join another activity free of charge. Choose Maui turtle snorkeling at sunset for a memorable way to explore the reef after dark.

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 7.6. Top 38% in Maui means it ranks in the top 38% of tours in Maui by this score.
