Snorkel Tour Highlights

This snorkel tour is our favorite out of the six Lanai snorkel operators that have permits to visit Lanai. We recommend this tour to friends seeking an adventure on a power raft, quality snorkeling at pristine reefs, and a chance to see unique Maui marine life.

But, don’t think this tour is for thrill seekers. We find the power rafts to provide a comfortable ride. They have shade and proper seats for a day of relaxing on the water.

This is an ideal tour if you’re staying in Kaanapali or anywhere in West Maui.
