Lanai 4 Hour Express Snorkel Features
Beginner-Friendly Snorkeling
Our tours are full of colorful adventures for snorkelers at every level. We make your experience beginner-friendly by providing the right snorkel gear, flotation belts, snorkel instruction and a snorkel guide in the water with you at every stop! We make sure that all gear fits you properly, weather conditions are right, and teach you ocean safety tips and marine life to look out for. We explore the best snorkel spots Lanai has to offer while prioritizing your safety and overall experience. Our marine naturalist guides ensure comfortable snorkel sessions full of fish and fun!
Uncover Underwater Treasures
Many of the tropical fish that call Lanai home can only be found within its thriving coral reef. Because Lanai has very little development near the shore, the reef is much healthier and sustains more marine life. The snorkel spots we frequent along the sea cliff are a joy to swim along and behold, showcasing unique rock formations, swim throughs, and even ancient burial grounds. The variety of creatures we’re blessed to encounter on the boat and in the water includes dolphins, Hawaiian green sea turtles, whales, octopus, manta rays, sharks, Hawaiian monk seals, and whale sharks!
Support Research and Disentanglement
Your ticket fare helps support marine education and research around the world. We donate our vessels, captains, and crew to transport whale researchers where they need to go. We also donate monetary resources to humpback and other marine research performed by permitted and publishing researchers. We are proud to support them with funding for equipment, maintenance, supplies, and more. We are first responders and regularly volunteer in NOAA’s Rescue Entanglement Network to disentangle humpback whales during their migration in Maui. We appreciate your support to continue this vital and rewarding work.

Discover Unique Marine Life In Lanai’s Thriving Reef
Description
We start from West Maui, crossing the channel between Maui and Lanai. Nine times out of ten, we see some of our favorite marine mammals: dolphins! Spinner, bottlenose, and spotted dolphins are our most common travel pals. Although dolphins are protected and we are not permitted to offer snorkeling with them, the wild dolphins are very playful, and curious, and often swim alongside our rafting vessels. Some dolphins travel in pods of hundreds, making for an amazing viewing experience as they jump, spin, and surf the wake alongside our boats! During the December-April migration season, we also watch for humpback whales.
Because Lanai’s reef is less trafficked and thriving, our snorkelers get to see a variety of marine life. We explore multiple types of coral reefs, including cumulative, pinnacle, and aggregate reef structures. Each harbors different sea creatures, including Hawaiian green sea turtles, octopuses, manta rays, dolphins, sharks, whale sharks, and even seals. Known for its living reefs and breathtaking sea cliffs, Lanai is home to many tropical fish species that can’t be found anywhere else in the world!
There are more than a dozen remote snorkeling spots along the Lanai coast. A few of our favorites include Club Lanai, Manele Bay, Sweetheart Rock, and Shark Fin. Some of these snorkel spots showcase unique rock formations, swim-throughs, and even ancient burial grounds. We prioritize comfort and safety for snorkelers at every level to enjoy this adventure to the max. Join us and discover the magic of Lanai’s underwater world!
