    Amazing trip to Lanai

    Dan and Danny were awesome captains. They helped get our senior travelers on the boat with no issues and were very accommodating. Our kids (both under 13) had a great time swimming and snorkeling off the coast of Lanai. Marissa was an amazing host on the boat. The food was perfect for everyone to snack on. the views and trip were amazing from beginning to end.

    such a great excursion

    Captain Dave and Marisa were excellent tour guides. Dave called and moved our booking out two more days because the water was not clear on the day of our booking. we had such great weather and the water was clear. Smooth ride with a little hawaii history. This was our first time using scooters to snorkel and if you can add this to your excursion, do it!!!! it just makes it easy. my teenagers loved them. Dave and Marisa provided drinks, sodas, waters and fruits and pastries. didn’t see hoards of fish. but saw a ton of different coral and porpoises. they were quite a few brightly colored fish. highly recommend. would definitely do a tour again with them!

    Best lanai snorkel i ever done , the sea scooter is a game changer you won’t ever want to snorkel without one again

    Went to snorkel today at lanai at malaeee bay and fin rock and had a blast . we parked at whalers walked to the raft and we loaded up 6 at a time and got to the boat . they gave us chips , fruits , soda and water on the ride their and back . I got a sea scooter to use for this trip . they went over the process how to use it and to tuck your shirt in and strings for your shorts in otherwise it will get caught in it . . Sea scooter is a must try don’t know how i ever snorkel without it before. we also saw whales there and back . Definitely would do this trip again hands down captain dan and marisa were amazing and very helpful the whole trip .

    Response from the operator: Truly Appreciate you taking your time to write this Amazing 5 STAR REVIEW for us. Warmest Mahalo and see you next time back on Maui.

    Snorkeling

    Great snorkeling experience, but if you have an issue with sea sickness, you will need to take remedies before the fact.

    Response from the operator: Mahalo for taking your time to write your 5 Star Review.

    Best Snorkling Tour in Maui/Lanai

    Amazing…Amazing..Amazing. Best crew ever. Melissa, Doug and Dan. We saw whales, Dolphins and lots of fishes. My wife who is non-swimmer had a great experience too. Melissa personally took her to multiple points in the snorkeling and help her to remove her fear of water. My daughter could swim with dolphins. Both spots for snorting were amazing too. Doug and Dan were very friendly and helpful. I could not have expected anything better from this excursion.

    Response from the operator: Our Crew truly takes care of our guests on Board. Warmest Mahalo for your 5 Star Review.

    Lanai Snorkeling Half Day with Sea Scooter: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Lanai Snorkeling Half Day with Sea Scooter cost?

    +

    Prices start at $139 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 Lanai Snorkeling Half Day with Sea Scooter take?

    +

    Plan for about 4.3 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 Lanai Snorkeling Half Day with Sea Scooter worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 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 Lanai Snorkeling Half Day with Sea Scooter?

    +

    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 Lanai Snorkeling Half Day with Sea Scooter suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Lanai Snorkeling Half Day with Sea Scooter?

    +

    Around 3 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 4.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Lanai Snorkeling Half Day with Sea Scooter 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.
