Snorkel two West Maui sites among tropical fish and turtles, then enjoy a buffet meal and a leisurely cruise back to Ka’anapali Beach.
About this tour
Set out from Ka’anapali Beach for a four-hour West Maui snorkel adventure, with the day’s route shaped by current water conditions. Your captain chooses two snorkel sites, where clear water reveals colorful reef, tropical fish, and Hawaiian green sea turtles. Keep watch from the boat, too: spinner and bottlenose dolphins may appear, while winter brings the chance to spot migrating humpback whales.
Between swims, return aboard for a buffet meal, followed by a relaxed cruise back toward shore with drinks available. Snorkeling equipment and professional guides are provided, and the tour includes breakfast, lunch, and nonalcoholic drinks as well as alcoholic beverages. Check in at the Sea Maui kiosk at Whaler’s Village 30 minutes before departure; bring your parking ticket for validation. Book your West Maui snorkel tour for a memorable day on and beneath the water.

How this score is calculated
This tour scores 4.89 on Viator and 4.89 on GetYourGuide. Ratings on these sites cluster near the top of the 5-star scale, so we compare each one with all other ratings on the same site before combining them.
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 8.3. Top 21% in Maui means it ranks in the top 21% of tours in Maui by this score.
