What to expect

Embark on a 5-hour snorkeling cruise from Maui to Lanai and explore the stunning coastline as you snorkel along the Pineapple Isle, home to coral reefs and unique marine life. Enjoy breakfast, lunch, and refreshments while watching for wild dolphins!

Depart Ma'alaea Harbor on the ultimate wildlife watch and Lanai snorkel cruise operated by one of Maui’s top rated Eco-Tour companies, The Pacific Whale Foundation. The ocean waters surrounding Lanai are regarded as being home to some of the best snorkeling in the world! Gin-clear waters, vibrant, healthy reefs and countless species of colorful tropical fish are make the ocean waters surrounding Lanai such a spectacular snorkeling destination. Numerous, large pods of dolphins also call these waters home year round. It is rather common to see groups of spinner dolphins jumping and playing in the wake of the boat as you make your way across the Au’au Channel from Maui to the snorkel destination off-shore of Lanai. During the winter months this area is also a hot spot for some of Hawaii’s most famous visitors, the Humpback Whale! During this time of year whale sightings are very common on this cruise.
