Maui Dolphin Excursions

Maui dolphin excursions head into the waters off Maalaea and Lanai, where spinner dolphins, bottlenose dolphins and spotted dolphins may move through bays and open ocean. Some tours stay focused on dolphin watching with marine naturalists, while longer Lanai cruises add snorkel time over reef areas.

About this experience

Maui Dolphin Excursions

Your Maui Dolphin Excursion

A Maui dolphin excursion starts with the boat leaving harbor and the search moving across open water. Some tours focus on watching wild dolphins from the boat, while others pair dolphin watching with a Lanai snorkel cruise and time over reef areas.

Current options include Pacific Whale Foundation's Ultimate Dolphin Watch from Maalaea Harbor and a Lanai Snorkel & Dolphin Watch cruise. Spinner dolphins are commonly seen in Hawaii waters, and tours may also encounter bottlenose dolphins, spotted dolphins or other marine life depending on the day.

Choose by tour length, boat style, snorkeling plans and how much time your party wants on the water. Dolphin sightings can vary because the animals are wild, and ocean conditions decide the safest route and snorkel stops.
