Full description

Spot Hawaii's native marine life in its natural habitat on a snorkel cruise to Turtle Town from Lahaina. Swim past green sea turtles, Moorish idols, and even humpback whales. Enjoy an onboard lunch and drinks.

Set sail from Lahaina Harbor towards Turtle Town, aka Mala Wharf (if weather conditions allow). See where, in 1992, a powerful hurricane created an artificial reef and sanctuary where corals and other marine life thrive. Spot Moorish idols, green sea turtles, and saddle wrasse while snorkeling here. If snorkel conditions are not ideal at Turtle Town a.k.a. Mala Wharf, cruise to one of the other premier westside snorkel locations such as Honolua Bay, Airport Beach, or Launiupoko. See Hawaiian green sea turtles, brightly colored tropical fish, and beautiful coral reef formations. During the whale season between December to April, observe humpback whales as they enjoy the warm Hawaiian waters (time permitting). Learn from expert narration about the whales and provide a play-by-play commentary of the whales' behavior as you view them.

The snorkelling itself is amazing, although short. Small children should be let off the boat last as they snorkel for 2 seconds and then want to go back on the boat, which cuts into the time of those trying to get out into the water. Do not do this if you get seasick- out of a 3 hour tour, over 2 hours were spent boating in the rough waters. The crew and captain were great and the food was good too. We got to see dolphins swimming and lots of fish and a turtle when snorkelling. I think the boat ride could be shorter and the snorkel time longer. Would have also appreciated an adult-only option for this tour.

The boat ride was amazing. The people working on the boat were very helpful and nice. Finding where to sign in was challenging. There could have been better directions given for this. Unfortunately, there were not that many fish and the water was dingy. The diving did not look like the pictures advertised so I was disappointed about that. Overall a great experience.

Although we saw a lot of turtles and even reef sharks on the snorkel, I wish we would've gone further out...barely went out of the harbor before snorkel commenced. Very limited viewing of fish...a large amount of space had zero or no fish..many of the fish were larger dark fish...only recall two other varieties with any color. It was cool to have so many turtles, but colorful fish also make a snorkel.
