Learn about the culture as Triston paddle through the magnificent coral-sea garden of Wailea point. Once you arrive at the snorkeling spot, he will stop the board and gear you up for snorkeling.

Snorkeling for non-swimmers.
This was a fabulous experience. James made sure we saw a number of fish and coral and he took pictures and videos. He was very helpful in navigating the snorkeling experience.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re so glad you had a fabulous snorkeling experience with James and enjoyed seeing the fish and coral. We’re also happy you got some great photos and videos to remember your adventure. Mahalo for joining us!

This is just the best! Do it!
We loved this! We went with another couple. Two of us had never snorkeled and the other couple had tried without much success once many years ago. I am not a strong swimmer at all and was VERY nervous getting in the deep ocean water. James was terrific. He was just so nice. He got us all geared up, made sure fins, masks, life jackets all fit, and once in the water he showed us what we need to know. It was just wonderful. We saw at least 6+ huge sea turtles (some may have been the same one passing by more than once, but we didn’t know the difference LOL). We saw many sea creatures, beautiful fish, James brought some creatures up for us to hold, and even pointed out an eel. He took wonderful photos of us from under water and we got them from him from air drop immediately after the tour. I cannot say enough good things about this. I was so nervous, but it ranks up there as one of my very favorite things I have ever done! You do not need to know how to swim, as the life vest keeps you floating, but you need to be comfortable and relaxed in the water. The more relaxed I got, the easier it was. I was tired afterwards, though not really sure why as I didn’t feel like I was working hard. 10/10 recommend this experience and James as your guide. Loved it so much - all four of us did!!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled that James helped you feel comfortable and confident in the water, especially with the nerves you had at the beginning. Seeing so many turtles and fish makes it even more special! We truly appreciate the 10/10 recommendation and are so happy you had such a memorable time. Hope to see you again soon!

A wonderful experience start to finish!
This is perfect for beginners in snorkeling, especially those who are not strong swimmers or a little nervous in the ocean. Our instructor was James and he was so great from start to finish. He taught us all the basics of snorkeling and took us on his paddle board, where we saw so many different types of fish, coral reefs, and even two sea turtles. It was truly a wonderful and magical experience and I’m so glad we did it. It was one of the highlights of our trip. Would highly recommend to anyone, especially if you are new to snorkeling! You will not regret doing this.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re so happy you had such a great experience with James and felt comfortable snorkeling with us. Seeing the beautiful reef and two sea turtles sounds like an amazing day! We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back to Maui

Thank you Seth and James for the best experience ever!
What an experience! My husband and I went for guided non-swimmers experience and we had the best time. When I say I don’t know how to swim I mean I don’t know even basics but I was able to part of the whole experience and that says a lot about Seth and James who guided us and everyone in the group. They were patient, kind and super funny! Given this was the first water experience, it was insanely amazing! Thank you both for making this probably the best memory of the trip!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the amazing review! We’re so happy you both had such a great experience, especially for your first time in the water. Seth and James will love hearing this! It means a lot to know we could be part of such a special memory from your trip!

Amazing experience. This...
Amazing experience. This was the first time experience for me, my wife and our 8 year old. Wife and I had limited swimming experience so we were nervous at the beginning. Seth did a great job with the instructions and made us feel really comfortable. We saw lots of marine life including sea turtles. It was definitely a memorable experience and would definitely recommend it for anyone with limited or no snorkeling experience.
Response from the operator: Mahalo for the wonderful review! We’re so happy Seth made you and your family feel safe and comfortable. Seeing sea turtles and all the beautiful marine life makes it even more special! We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to snorkel with you again soon!

Snorkeling for Non-Swimmers with Photos Guided Tour Wailea Beach: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Maui.
How much does Snorkeling for Non-Swimmers with Photos Guided Tour Wailea Beach cost?
+
Prices start at $149 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 Snorkeling for Non-Swimmers with Photos Guided Tour Wailea Beach take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 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 Snorkeling for Non-Swimmers with Photos Guided Tour Wailea Beach worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 473 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 Snorkeling for Non-Swimmers with Photos Guided Tour Wailea Beach?
+
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 Snorkeling for Non-Swimmers with Photos Guided Tour Wailea Beach suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Snorkeling for Non-Swimmers with Photos Guided Tour Wailea Beach?
+
Around 166 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Snorkeling for Non-Swimmers with Photos Guided Tour Wailea Beach 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, West Maui Snorkeling Experience by Boat from Ka'anapali, Maui Eco-Raft Tour: Eye-Level Whale or Dolphin Watching - Lahaina. 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.
What is included in Snorkeling for Non-Swimmers with Photos Guided Tour Wailea Beach?
+
