Snorkel West Maui's reefs, watch for turtles and dolphins, and enjoy a locally catered lunch on this five-hour boat trip from Ka'anapali.

About this tour

Set out from Ka'anapali Beach for a five-hour West Maui snorkeling boat tour, with clear water, colorful reef fish, and the chance to spot sea turtles and dolphins. The morning begins with check-in at 8:30 a.m. near Whaler's Village, followed by a 9:00 a.m. departure.

Once aboard, use the provided snorkeling equipment to explore the water, then take a break with a locally catered lunch, snacks, drinks, and locally baked banana bread. Shaded seating, personal storage, and an onboard restroom add comfort between swims. The crew beach-loads the boat, so guests may get wet while boarding and should be able to climb three vertical stairs.

This West Maui snorkeling boat tour is a lively way to spend time on the water and enjoy Maui's marine life. Check the age and fitness requirements before booking, then get ready for a memorable day off Ka'anapali.

How this score is calculated

This tour scores 4.99 on Viator and 5.00 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 9.7. Top 1% in Maui means it ranks in the top 1% of tours in Maui by this score.
