Overview

Sail to the storied waters of Honolua Bay, long valued in Hawaiian culture and now protected as a Marine Life Conservation District. Along the way, watch for wild dolphins, then snorkel among Hawaiian green sea turtles in this vibrant reef.

Honolua Bay is one of Maui’s most scenic snorkel locations, known for its calm conditions and vibrant reef. While snorkeling, you may encounter Hawaiian green sea turtles, colorful reef fish, and species found only in Hawaiʻi.

Throughout the trip, our certified marine naturalists share insights about the ocean, marine life, and how we can all help protect it—creating a meaningful experience for guests of all ages.

Enjoy time to unwind on deck, stretch out on the nets, or relax in the shaded cabin between water activities. A light breakfast and freshly prepared onboard BBQ lunch feature locally sourced ingredients whenever possible, along with a premium bar offering cocktails, beer, and wine.

Frequently Asked Questions

(8)

Q: Will I get seasick on Honolua Snorkel Sail from Lahaina?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
