    About this experience

    Take a ride on Maui's most comfortable small boat experience! We visit two snorkel spots (weather permitting) off of the remote island of Lana'i and West Maui. We only take small groups, which means a more personalized experience! We will provide gear, instructions and guide your snorkel tour. We'll be on the lookout for turtles while snorkeling and we will look for the spinner dolphin pod that makes Lana'i waters their home- we have a 70% chance of seeing them. We serve a locally made, world famous banana bread with Lilikioi (passion fruit) smear!

    Wonderful snorkel trip!!!

    This was the most fun snorkel trip we’ve taken. We saw spinner dolphins and bottle nose dolphins. Snorkeling was amazing. Saw so many turtles we couldn’t keep count. Emma is an amazing hospitable captain and Val was super knowledgeable and so much fun to listen to all his insight about marine wildlife. Thank you so much!!! Make sure you book with Maui Ocean adventures for a great experience!!!

    10/10!

    Just an overall great experience! Captains Shannon and Lainey were amazing. Kind. Knowledgeable. Funny. Fun. Experienced. We felt like VIPs the whole time. Snorkel spot (lighthouse) was awesome! Banana bread really incredible too. So many Dolphins!! 10/10 would absolutely book again! Our whole family (2 teen boys, wifey and me) loved it. In fact when we saw other boats we almost felt bad for them because we knew their experience wasn’t nearly as great as being on the pink “Macy”. Book Maui Ocean Adventures. You won’t be disappointed.

    Incredible snorkel!

    Had the most amazing snorkel trip with Captain Emma! I’ve been on countless snorkel trips, and this was one for the books — best experience by far. We made multiple stops, saw beautiful wildlife, and so much more. The intimacy of the allows you to enjoy it that much more!!

    Incredible experience!

    We had an absolutely phenomenal time on our excursion. We did the same excursion last year and found it to be very enjoyable due to the small group on the very well maintained boat. Captain Emma was conscientious about taking us to places where we would have the best snorkeling and we would be able to see the spinner dolphins. This year we went to two places that were new to us and just as beautiful as the spot where we snorkel last year. Emma found a place with crystal clear water and very favorable currents. We definitely will take this tour again next time we’re in Maui.

    Epic snorkeling adventure.

    What a great experience our family of four had! With a 9 year old, 6 year old from the minute of seeing Macy (greatest color boat of all time!) we were so excited for the quick hop onto the boat. First remember to kick off your shoes (you will see them at the end.. no need for them when there are flippiddy flops!). Meeting both captains Emma and Allison were super knowledgeable and very fun to explore with. The ride over was great for us talking with them and the other adventurers. Leading us through to some beautiful dolphins who joined our route on a short trip to our first snorkel spot. Allison was back and forth with everyone making sure they were having the best time and whisperer of the dolphins! Emma gave us some great knowledge of our surroundings and both made our family feel very comfortable. Our second stop was epic! Watching them help everyone with their equipment and seeing them in their element diving to moor. Wow! Seeing a waterfall of fish and a black tip reef shark with Maui Ocean Adventures is the best choice my wife researched to find. If you haven’t read about this company, please do. Thank you again!

    Lana'i Snorkel And Dolphin Quest with Maui Turtle Spot Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Maui.

    How much does Lana'i Snorkel And Dolphin Quest with Maui Turtle Spot Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $175 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Maui usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Lana'i Snorkel And Dolphin Quest with Maui Turtle Spot Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 4.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Maui is not rushed.

    Is Lana'i Snorkel And Dolphin Quest with Maui Turtle Spot Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 39 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Maui, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Lana'i Snorkel And Dolphin Quest with Maui Turtle Spot Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Lana'i Snorkel And Dolphin Quest with Maui Turtle Spot Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Lana'i Snorkel And Dolphin Quest with Maui Turtle Spot Tour?

    +

    Around 14 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Maui can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Maui and add a light layer if any part of the 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Lana'i Snorkel And Dolphin Quest with Maui Turtle Spot Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Maui within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Maui?

    +

    Maui's three signature days are the Hana road, the Haleakala summit sunrise and the Molokini snorkel sail, and all three are logistics problems as much as experiences. Sunrise summit entry is permit-controlled, Hana is a ten-hour driving day, and Molokini boats vary wildly in size. Our ranking rewards operators who handle permits and keep boat capacity low. On Outty we rank every Maui experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Molokini Crater + South Maui Coast Adventure from Kihei, Maui, Maui: VIP Private Road to Hana Tour with Pick Up, Road to Hana Adventure Maui Tour with Lunch. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Maui?

    +

    April to May and September to October. Whale season runs December to April. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Maui?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
