Snorkel Maui’s Turtle Reef on a morning catamaran cruise with breakfast, lunch, a water slide, and a jumping platform.
About this tour
Set out on a morning cruise to Maui’s Turtle Reef, where colorful reef life and frequent Hawaiian green sea turtle sightings make snorkeling a memorable way to explore the coast. Aboard the spacious double-decker Quicksilver, you’ll find room to relax between swims, plus a water slide and jumping platform for a more playful splash into the sea.
Your captain selects the snorkel location based on the day’s weather and ocean conditions. The ride can take up to an hour, and once you arrive, use the provided snorkel gear and flotation devices to explore the water. Informative narration shares details about Maui’s history, while breakfast and lunch keep you fueled for the outing. In whale season, you may also spot whales, though wildlife sightings are never guaranteed. The boat has two restrooms and a freshwater shower, and the crew serves alcohol only after snorkeling is complete.
Join this Maui snorkel cruise for a relaxed day on the water, with reef time and fun features aboard the boat. Check in 30 minutes before departure and get ready to discover Maui 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 4.4.
