Half Day Lanai Snorkeling Tour

Location: Ka'anapali, Maui

Tour Highlights

Cross the ʻAuʻau Channel to the remote coastline of Lānaʻi, where crystal-clear reefs, towering sea cliffs, and vibrant marine life create one of Hawaiʻi's most unforgettable snorkel destinations.

  • Cruise from Kaʻanapali across the ʻAuʻau Channel
  • Snorkel secluded reefs chosen for the day's best conditions
  • Swim with sea turtles and tropical reef fish
  • Relax aboard a spacious vessel with shaded seating
  • Upgrade with a Yamaha Sea Scooter for effortless reef exploration

Quick Local Tip: Many visitors are surprised by how close Lānaʻi really is. From Kāʻanapali, it's a straight shot across the protected ʻAuʻau Channel, just 9 miles, making the ride smoother and quicker than most people expect.

What to Expect

Your adventure begins on Kaʻanapali Beach, where a short Zodiac shuttle brings you to the custom-built snorkeling vessel designed for comfort and easy access to the water.

As you cruise toward Lānaʻi, enjoy sweeping views of Maui's west coast and keep watch for spinner dolphins in the ʻAuʻau Channel. Once offshore, your captain selects the day's best snorkel site based on ocean conditions, leading you to healthy coral reefs alive with tropical fish, Hawaiian green sea turtles, eagle rays, and other marine life.

Between snorkel sessions, unwind in the shade with complimentary drinks and snacks before enjoying a scenic cruise back across the channel to Kaʻanapali.

Explore more reef with less effort aboard a Yamaha Sea Scooter. Glide effortlessly through the water, cover more ground, and get closer to Lānaʻi's vibrant coral gardens. Limited rentals available—reserve yours in advance when booking online.
