FAQ
DO I NEED TO HAVE EXPERIENCE SNORKELING?
Snorkeling experience is not necessary. You need to be comfortable in the water and should be able to swim without the aid of any equipment. Our crew will show you how to use the snorkel equipment. We have flotation devices, wetsuits, swimming noodles, and boogie boards available to keep swimmers comfortable during our excursions.
IS SNORKELING SAFE?
The Hawaii health department advises that "you need to be comfortable in the water and able to swim without the aid of any equipment". Our buddy system requires weak but comfortable swimmers to pair up with a stronger swimmer from the same party. We have flotation devices, wetsuits, swimming noodles, and
boogie boards available to make it easy to float and observe the wildlife.
DO YOU OFFER SNUBA?
We discontinued our SNUBA program. Once aboard the Lani Kai II, you will notice a much smoother touring experience without the clutter that can be common with SNUBA tours. Our guests love the new experience!

About operator:
Since 1985, Maui Snorkeling has run thousands of Maui Molokini Snorkel Tours, hundreds of Private Boat Charters, watched tens of thousands of Humpback whales during their annual migrations and has provided the opportunity for people to swim with the most peaceful and beautiful Sea Turtles that Maui has to offer. It’s an honor to be considered one of the best snorkeling boats in Maui and we spend each and every day maintaining that reputation. We certainly understand and appreciate the responsibility that goes along with carrying the Maui Snorkeling name!
Our boats, Lani Kai I (retired) and Lani Kai II, have carried close to 1 million passengers and have served families, honeymooners, senior citizens, young children, military personnel, and vacationers from every country on the globe. Lani Kai was retired in March 2020 and we welcomed Lani Kai II in August 2020. Lani Kai II is a 53-foot vessel that can accommodate up to 67 passengers. Our whale watching, snorkeling, and turtle tours leave out of Ma’alaea Harbor and travel to Molokini Crater and Turtle Town.
Since her launch in August 2020, Lani Kai II has hosted major Hollywood productions, professional athletes and celebrities, and thousands of Maui visitors. We are committed to protecting our marine life and celebrating the beauty of Hawai’i!
Whether you are two honeymooners looking for a breathtaking snorkeling experience, a couple celebrating 25 years of marriage, or a young family hoping for an unforgettable experience, Maui Snorkeling is one of the top things to do in Maui and Molokini. We are happy to provide the best all-inclusive packages in Maui that includes a morning snorkeling tour, afternoon snorkeling tour, and group & private charters.
Maui Snorkeling is proud to offer BYOB service to our guests. We listened to our customers and realized that everyone has their own specific requests for alcohol. The only limitations are no glass and no drinking until you are done snorkeling, swimming, and sliding!
