About Sea Maui - West Maui Half Day Snorkel Adventure
Spend the morning sailing along the West Maui coast aboard Sea Maui, departing directly from Ka'anapali Beach in front of Whalers Village. Breakfast and coffee are served as the catamaran gets underway, with chances to spot spinner dolphins, bottlenose dolphins and Hawaiian green sea turtles along the route. During whale season, humpback whales may also be seen offshore.
The captain selects the day's snorkel site based on weather, visibility and ocean conditions. Possible destinations include Honolua Bay, Cliff House, Oluwalu, Mala Wharf, Makulei'a Bay and Kapalua Bay. Once anchored, head into the water with the provided gear and explore reef areas filled with tropical fish, coral and possible sea turtle sightings.
After snorkeling, return to the catamaran for lunch prepared by Chef Jai Vinayaga. Non-alcoholic drinks are included, and guests age 21 and older can enjoy two alcoholic beverages during the sail back to Ka'anapali.
