About Pacific Whale Foundation - Maui Snorkel & Sunset Sail Lahaina
Sail from Lahaina with Pacific Whale Foundation on a Maui snorkel and sunset tour featuring reef snorkeling, ocean views, snorkel gear and golden-hour scenery.
Snorkeling, ocean play and a glowing Maui sunset come together on this seasonal cruise from Lahaina Harbor. Offered from June through October, the afternoon begins in Maui's clear leeward waters, where Hawaiian green sea turtles, tropical fish and coral reefs may be waiting below the surface.
A marine naturalist is on board to share fascinating details about Maui's wildlife and ocean environment, while the waterslide adds extra fun for families and kids. After snorkeling, relax on deck as the coastline drifts by and the afternoon sky begins to brighten with sunset colors over the Pacific.
A freshly grilled BBQ meal is served on board, giving you time to dine, enjoy the ocean views and settle into the evening. With snorkeling, a waterslide, dinner and sunset scenery in one trip, this cruise offers a memorable Maui experience for guests of all ages.
