Lanai Dolphin and Snorkeling Raft

Location: Lahaina, Maui

Put on your swimsuit and get ready to join us on an amazing Maui to Lanai snorkel adventure! Your tour departs Lahaina Harbor and heads to Lanai for breathtaking views. You will visit 2-3 snorkel spots, enjoy plenty of dolphin watching, swim with turtles, and snorkel coral reefs teeming with tropical fish.


What to Expect

The morning starts at check in 30 minutes before departure, where our certified lifeguard crew will fit you with premium snorkel gear. We’ll then board our small group ocean raft, designed to seat under 18 guests, ensuring a personalized, family-style experience free from crowds.

We then cross with a scenic Au'au channel crossing between Maui to Lanai, where we reach the first snorkel stop. After dropping anchor you will enjoy a light breakfast with an incredible view of the Lanai coastline. Our onboard marine naturalist will then guide you through the crystal-clear waters, pointing out vibrant tropical fish, sea turtles, and other fascinating marine life. After the first stop, we’ll head off in search of dolphins—keep your eyes peeled for spinner, spotted, and bottlenose dolphins that often playfully swim alongside our raft.

For our tour, we’ll visit 2-3 unique snorkel spots, including potential favorites like Shark Fin and Sweetheart Rock, with a lunch break featuring deli wraps and snacks. On the winter combo tour, enjoy a mix of snorkeling and whale watching (season permitting), with one snorkel stop and dolphin encounters.

Some of the top snorkel spots we visit include:

  • Club Lanai: Robinson Crusoe vibes at an abandoned club house and wooden pier known for it's mix of sand and coral, sea turtles, and plentiful tropical fish.
  • Shark Fin: A reef shaped like a shark fin tucked into a protected cove surrounded by sheer cliffs with vibrant marine life.
  • Manele Bay: Tucked between the Four Seasons and Small Boat Harbor, this seluded spot is a marine sanctuary.
